Soon, the host tidied up the messy tiles, tables and chairs, and it was almost time to cover the coffin and start the funeral.
The nail was put in the coffin.
"Awake!"
When the Eight Vajra carried the coffin, their expressions changed slightly.
Why is it so heavy!
It was so heavy that it seemed as if there were three people lying in a coffin.
Could it be that...
Was the deceased dissatisfied with something during his lifetime, which caused the eaves to fall off as a warning?
The spirit of the dead appeared?
The eight people did not dare to have too many suspicions. They all put in all their strength to carry the heavy coffin and followed the host's team to go up the mountain to mourn.
But he was stopped at the city gate.
"We have an order from above that no one is allowed to leave the city!"
The guards, with their spears raised, blocked the way.
The host was a middle-aged man, his eyes were red from crying, and he choked up and said, "Sir, my sister-in-law had a bad fate and died early, but her body cannot be left here! If she is not buried quickly, not only will her body rot, but we the living will also not be able to rest in peace."
"Please give me some convenience!"
The family members dressed in mourning clothes were also sobbing intermittently.
The guard said coldly:
"This is an order from above. I have no right to open the city gates. If I let the criminals go, none of you will be held responsible!"
"My Lord! Please."
The owner knelt on the ground and begged.
For a moment, the scene of crying and arguing attracted many people to look over.
Who doesn’t know how to hold a funeral?
Who wouldn't feel compassion if their loved ones were not given a proper burial after their death?
They discussed in a low voice:
"Rules are dead, people are alive..."
"As the old saying goes, the dead are the greatest..."
Not far away, Tuoba Mingyue strode over. After learning what happened here, he ordered, "Check their team and let them out of the city."
The host was moved to tears.
The funeral procession consisted of relatives, about twenty people, and they were checked quickly, and there was nothing unusual.
When preparing to open the city gate.
"etc."
A cold male voice came.
In the coffin.
Chu Li's breathing quickened, and he immediately recognized that it was Chu Yeli's voice.
He is here.
She was inexplicably nervous and grasped Chu Dichi's elbows with both hands, squeezing them tighter.
"Brother Yeli, according to the rules of our ancestors, the dead are the most important and they must be buried in peace." Tuoba Mingyue said.
"Open the coffin."
What? !
Everyone was shocked.
Chu Yeli looked at the dark coffin and said, "Open it and check it before leaving the city."
The host's face was as pale as paper:
"But the nails have already been put in the coffin."
"Then pry it open."
This is unlucky!
Once the nails were driven in, it meant the dead soul had rested in peace in the coffin. If they were to be pried open in broad daylight on the street... this, this.
Throughout history, has there ever been such a rule?
"My Lord, this..."
"Just a quick look."
The owner was so frightened that he dared not offend the deceased. He knelt on the ground and cried for mercy.
After thinking it over, Tuoba Mingyue came up with a compromise and assigned a guard, "You, follow the funeral procession up the mountain, watch the coffin being buried in the ground, and watch for two hours before returning to report."
"yes."
The guards took orders.
In this way, the coffin was avoided from being opened in public, and Chu Yeli's doubts were resolved, so the funeral procession was able to leave the city smoothly.
In the coffin.
Chu Li secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Finally it came out."
"If you don't come out, you're going to squeeze my arm until it turns purple."
"ah?!"
Chu Lili quickly loosened her hands. She was too nervous just now and didn't notice that she had been pinching him. She asked him how he could be so resilient and so stress-relieving.
Chu Dichi sighed lightly:
"Xiaojiu has a violent tendency. I'm really worried that you'll beat me in bed in the future...hiss!"
Chu Li glared at him and punched him on the waist.
The coffin shook suddenly.
The Eight Vajra were so frightened that their backs shuddered. They couldn't tell whether it was the coffin shaking or the bumpy road that caused the shaking, but they were getting more and more frightened.
"How are we going to get out later?"
"Don't worry. The thin coffins that ordinary people use for burial are as fragile as paper coffins. They will open with a little internal force. But, Xiaojiu, does this count as sleeping in the same tomb?"
"I am still young, who will sleep in the same grave with you?"
"I said a hundred years later."
"Not even after a hundred years."
The dark space was small and crowded. You couldn't see your hand in front of you, and you couldn't see the other person's face clearly. After the words were spoken, it was extremely quiet. Only the hot breath sprayed on the other person's face, interweaving invisibly.
soon.
The coffin fell to the ground.
Prepare for burial.
It's time.
"Hold me tight." Chu Dichi held her small waist with one hand, and with the other big hand, he gathered his inner strength, which became stronger and stronger, and slapped the coffin lid.
BANG!!
With a loud bang, the coffin lid flew up into the sky and blew several meters away, frightening a group of people and causing them to fall to the ground:
"Sister-in-law Zhang is back from the dead!"
"Oh my god, Zhang's sister-in-law died tragically. Second brother Zhang, you seduced my sister-in-law behind my brother's back, don't keep it a secret any longer!"
Only the guard saw something was wrong, drew his sword and rushed forward, but was knocked back several meters and fainted.
Chu Dichi flew up holding Chu Li and landed steadily on the ground.
Everyone stared.
Two living people?
Not a fake corpse?
Chu Li looked back at the coffin, which was torn into pieces, and the woman's body fell out. He felt really sorry, so he took out a small gold bar from his arms and said:
"You two can find someone else to bury it again."
Ah this?
this?
The owner took the gold bar with a look of panic on his face. He asked someone else to bury it? Was he going to bury him too?
Chu Dichi was holding Chu Li and was about to leave when he suddenly turned around:
"Will you expose our whereabouts?"
Everyone immediately shook their heads like rattles.
This man was able to shake the coffin open. He was obviously an extraordinary martial arts master. How could ordinary people like them dare to provoke such an evil force?
"I don't believe it."
"Close your eyes and swear."
Everyone closed their eyes, and then Chu Dichi used an overwhelming internal force to push them all over the ground, knocking them all unconscious. Only then did he leave with peace of mind.
Get out of town safely!
Chu Li's happiness lasted only three seconds before he started to worry about Qin Muyu's safety again. His melancholy didn't last more than half a quarter of an hour before he heard a chaotic sound of horse hooves chasing after him.
"there!"
"Chase!"
It's a cavalry.
Their whereabouts have been discovered!
Chu Dichi said in a deep voice: "Let's run to the mountains."
Horses cannot run fast in the mountains. Moreover, the geographical location of the Southern Barbarians is full of mountains and ridges that stretch endlessly.
He held Chu Li's hand, brushed away the thorns and weeds, and opened up a rugged path.
Chu Li ran after them: "They are chasing us too fast!"
"It's Chu Yeli who is too suspicious."
That man was very smart and meticulous, and he was suspicious of anyone who entered or left the city.
If he hadn't had a little bit of thought, he wouldn't be alive today.
"Xiaojiu, Chu Yeli is not a good person."
Chu Li hesitated a little.
In fact, although Chu Yeli kept her by his side since leaving the palace, he never hurt her. He satisfied whatever she wanted, what she wanted to eat, and what she wanted to do, as long as she did not leave him.
No one is perfect.
In some ways, he may be stubborn and extreme, but in other ways, he is very good.
The sound of horse hooves was heard from behind, but as the forest deepened, the horses could not run fast, so they could only dismount:
"Take the hounds and chase them!"
"quick!"
“Woof woof—”
Hunting dogs have a keen sense of smell and can track an opponent for hundreds of miles based on the scent of the opponent.
Today, they have no chance of escaping!
“Woof woof!”
"Xiao Jiu, Chu Yeli has let the dog bite you. He is really not a good person."
Chu Li: “You’re right!”
