"Dongdong"
"Are you there, Master Qi?"
After the video ended, Qi Ling sat on the bed and practiced meditation.
It was not until she heard Si Yu's excited voice that she slowly came back to her senses from her practice.
She got out of bed and opened the door for Si Yu. She found that Si Yu and Si You were dressed neatly, and looked like they were going to attend some event.
Before she could speak, Si Yu said anxiously: "Master Qi, come on, I'll take you to the banquet."
Si You couldn't wait to take Qi Ling's hand, and Qi Ling was taken into the car by the two men with a confused look on her face.
In the car, Si Yu explained the reason.
It turned out that the mother of a friend he met when he was in the army had died, and his home happened to be not far away, so he planned to take Qi Ling to see her.
"Master Qi, what are the most authentic local delicacies in a city? It's definitely during the banquet."
"You have to try it today. He arranged a separate table for the three of us."
Qi Ling was also quite interested, "Oh? Then I must try it."
Time always goes by quickly when we are chatting. It felt like only a short while had passed before the car stopped.
They arrived at their destination.
As soon as they got off the car, the three of them heard the crackling sound of firecrackers.
The closer you are, the clearer you can hear.
The miserable mournful music kept ringing in everyone's ears.
Si You couldn't help but cover his ears with excitement. "You can't set off firecrackers in the city. I haven't heard the sound of firecrackers for a long time. It feels so familiar."
Si Yu also kept nodding in agreement.
"It seems they bury their dead. I don't know how that differs from cremation. It's rare to see this, so we have to take a closer look."
Although this is not a good thing, Si Yu and Si You are really excited. According to their family's custom, the dead should be cremated, but in rural areas, burial is generally practiced.
They had never actually seen a burial before, so they were all very curious.
Unlike their joy, Qi Ling couldn't help frowning as she looked at the entire village shrouded in thick fog from afar.
This village...
Something is wrong
resentment
But after looking at Si Yu and the other man who were completely unaware of the situation and were ecstatic, she didn't say anything more.
No matter what monsters come, she will protect them.
After walking for a while, the three of them finally arrived at the specific location for the banquet.
From a distance, I could see a mourning tent not far away, with many people gathered in it.
Except for a few people who had sad expressions on their faces, the rest of the people had smiles on their faces. If it weren't for the white cloth hanging outside the house, it wouldn't look like a funeral at all.
If you squeeze further in, you can see a black coffin placed in the inner room. Around the coffin, there is a man dressed in Tang Monk's costume, beating gongs and drums non-stop.
He was still muttering to himself.
After chanting for a while, some people began to circle around the coffin.
The moment Qi Ling saw the coffin, she completely understood where the resentment came from.
The resentment was so strong that everyone present was infected with some of it. This group of people would probably get into trouble later, although it would not be a big deal.
She looked around, and when she saw a few skinny old men and middle-aged men playing cards not far away, her eyes showed understanding.
When Qi Ling saw the seven or eight evil-suppressing talismans stuck on the coffin, he couldn't help but laugh sarcastically. It seemed that these people knew they were committing a sin.
Then he approached the coffin calmly, and stuck the yellow talisman in his hand on the coffin with lightning speed. Before anyone could react, he disappeared without a trace.
At the same time, the original evil-suppressing talisman lost its effect, and a harsh sound immediately came from the coffin, but it was drowned out by the noise at the scene.
After finishing everything, Qi Ling kept his achievements and fame to himself and went to meet Si Yu's friends together.
He was a tall, strong young man with dark skin. His name was Chen Bing.
Although his face was filled with sadness, he couldn't help but feel happy when he looked at Si Yu.
"Si Yu, I really didn't expect you to come? We two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time, right? After the meal, don't leave, let's have a few drinks together."
Si Yu also patted his shoulder and said, "Brother Bing, don't worry. It's a rare opportunity for me to come here. How can I leave? I have to drink for several days and nights."
"Hahaha, I feel relieved when you say that."
After saying that, he prepared to take care of other things. His mother only has him as her son, and everything depends on him.
At this moment, Qi Ling stared at him with his eyes wide open and asked a question that seemed completely incomprehensible to everyone.
"Have you seen your mother's body?"
Chen Bing turned his head in confusion, wondering why Qi Ling suddenly asked this?
But he still answered politely, shaking his head bitterly, "No, when I came back, my mother had already been put into the coffin. My uncle said that people who are put into the coffin cannot be opened again, otherwise it will be unlucky, so I haven't seen it either."
After that, he asked doubtfully, "Is there a problem?"
Qi Ling shook her head and did not answer his question.
Chen Bing didn't get an answer, so he didn't take the matter to heart and left.
After Chen Bing left, Si Yu winked at Qi Ling and asked quietly, "Master Qi, why did you ask that just now? Did you see any problem?"
"Could there be something fishy about his mother's death? I heard she died when she accidentally fell and hit her head on a sharp rock while harvesting wheat in the fields."
Did he die accidentally?
Haha, it's a joke. With such strong resentment, no one would believe it.
Qi Ling glanced at him calmly and said, "You'll know tomorrow."
After saying that, he sat down and prepared to eat.
