Chapter 299 Burial
Seeing that Li Daoyi was not moved by any persuasion, Guo Hui became anxious and took out a copper coin from his pocket.
"This... this will do!"
That copper coin was given to Li Daoyi by Ruan Qingli when she gave him the first bowl of rice when he first arrived here.
When he gave the copper coin as a gift, he said that no matter who it was, as long as they came to him with this copper coin in the future, he would agree to anything.
Looking at the copper coin, Li Daoyi hesitated for a long time, and finally nodded:
"Wait a moment, I'll get some things and then you can go."
Guo Hui was immediately overjoyed: "Great! Great! Thank you, Mr. Li!"
"The person you should thank is not me, but your mother!" Li Daoyi sighed.
Not long after, Guo Hui brought Li Daoyi back home.
Guo Yun and Sun Lan also found the people who should accompany the funeral.
"Mr. Li, everyone is here. Who do you think is suitable to carry the coffin?" Guo Hui asked.
Li Daoyi glanced at the villagers and said, "Anyone over 18 years old and under 25 years old, born in the Year of the Dragon, Tiger, or Ox, please come out."
Soon, several young and strong men stood up.
"Exactly six, two dragons, two tigers, and two cows." Li Daoyi gently shook the tortoise shell and dropped three copper coins.
"Two dragons are on the left, two tigers are on the right, and two old cows are pressing down on the coffin from front and back."
As Li Daoyi spoke, several people walked to their seats.
"Guo Hui, go kill a rooster, take its blood, and dip these nails in it."
Li Daoyi handed over a few nails, and Guo Hui carefully took them and left.
Chu Ruanruan and the others stood by and watched all this.
Li Daoyi suddenly came over and said, "My two friends, I'm afraid that something might happen and innocent people might get hurt. I need your help."
"You're too polite, Mr. Li. We will pay attention to it." Chu Ruanruan said.
"Thank you! I shouldn't have been involved in this sin, but the Liuyao School always keeps its word. I gave a copper coin to the old lady that year, but I didn't expect that it would be used here in the end." Li Daoyi said helplessly.
"Mr. Li, we should believe that good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil!" Chu Runrun said with a smile.
Li Daoyi nodded slightly.
Soon, Guo Hui came over with a bowl of chicken blood, and the nails were soaked in the chicken blood.
"Mr. Li, what should we do now?" Guo Hui asked hurriedly.
"Close the coffin lid and seal it with these nails." Li Daoyi said.
"yes!"
Guo Hui quickly asked everyone to close the coffin lid.
Li Daoyi sighed softly: "Old lady, please go with peace of mind. I will take care of your unfinished business."
As the last nail fell, the negative energy was gradually sealed into the coffin.
"Open the coffin!"
As soon as Li Daoyi gave the order, several strong men immediately carried the coffin.
“When a person dies, he becomes a ghost. When a ghost dies, he becomes a demon. There are no inns on the road to the underworld. Keep going forward and don’t look back!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of suona was heard and crying broke out.
Ning Youyan and the others supported Ning Changbo and followed behind the team. Chu Runrun, Chu Qi, Ning Xuan and Ning Yu walked not far from the coffin.
The burial site was on the mountain, and the snowy road was difficult to walk on, so the coffin bearers walked very carefully.
"Sister, what do you think Guo Hui is up to?" Chu Runrun said in a low voice.
"Who knows, but I think it's aimed at us," said Chu Qi.
Chu Ruanruan frowned slightly: "This morning I looked at Grandpa's face, and there was a faint black spot in the middle of his forehead. Something is wrong."
"Grandpa! Could it be that this grandson wants to harm you?" Ning Yu asked in surprise.
"Not only grandpa, but all of us whose faces I can see clearly have some symptoms. I suspect that Guo Hui wants to kill people for money!" Chu Runrun said.
"He wants to kill for money! With so many of us here, he has the guts to do that!" Chu Qi said in surprise.
"He can even kill his own mother, let alone us." Chu Runrun said sarcastically.
"Ruanruan, you mean that my aunt was killed by Guo Hui." Ning Xuan frowned.
"I saw my great aunt's body and I found it strange. Although it was normal for someone to die at an old age, her face was blue and her lips were dark purple. When I smelled her up close, there was a faint smell of carbon ash, as if she had been poisoned by carbon dioxide.
It's cold here and there's no air conditioning, so they all burn charcoal to keep warm. If you seal someone in a closed room with charcoal burning, they'll die in their sleep without even realizing it," said Chu Ruanruan.
"You suspect that Guo Hui killed my aunt in this way, so my aunt's ghost is still haunting her." Chu Qi said.
Chu Ruanruan shook her head. "That's not necessarily true. Although my aunt's death was horrific, she didn't show any sign of pain. Besides, she wasn't completely unable to move before she died. How could there be no signs of struggle at all?"
"Ruanruan, you've confused me!" Chu Qi was completely bewildered.
Chu Ruanruan frowned slightly: "Let's not worry about this for now, let's talk about it after the burial."
Soon, everyone saw the burial site.
At this moment, one of the coffin bearers slipped and the coffin lost its balance and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the others quickly stabilized it.
"Hu Zi, what's going on?" Guo Hui said angrily.
"Uncle, I'm sorry, I slipped." The young man carrying the coffin apologized quickly.
Guo Hui frowned: "Be careful, it's unlucky if the coffin falls to the ground before the time is right!"
"well!"
Hu Zi quickly lifted the coffin again.
Just as everyone was about to continue walking, the expressions of the six coffin bearers suddenly changed.
"Why don't you leave?" Guo Hui asked hurriedly.
"Uncle, we...we can't move!" One of the coffin bearers was sweating profusely and his face turned red.
Guo Hui was immediately displeased: "Don't joke with me, you guys. I won't give you a penny less of the 200 yuan wages. Hurry up and lift it!"
"Uncle, that's not what we meant. We just really can't walk."
The other five people also blushed, as if the coffin on their shoulders was a thousand-pound stone.
At this moment, someone shouted:
"Look, there's blood in the coffin!"
Everyone was so frightened that they stepped back one after another. Several coffin bearers could not hold on any longer and were forced to their knees on the ground.
The coffin fell to the ground with a thud, and everyone's faces turned pale.
"The coffin falling to the ground is a bad omen. The old lady's ghost is lingering and refuses to leave!"
Guo Hui quickly turned to Li Daoyi for help: "Mr. Li, what do you think we should do?"
Li Daoyi walked quickly to the coffin, and the resentment inside was churning, heavier than before.
"Old lady, why are you doing this?"
Others couldn't see it, but Chu Ruanruan could see it clearly.
The coffin bearer had clearly tripped over something when he slipped just now, and now, an old lady with a pale face was lying on the coffin.
Li Daoyi produced a copper coin from somewhere, bit his fingertip and dripped a drop of blood on the coin, then placed the coin on the coffin.
The heavy yin energy was suddenly suppressed, and the old lady's soul was forcibly pressed into the coffin.
