As Shopkeeper Sun discovered that the three people who came were ghosts, the ghosts also realized that the other party had seen through their identities.
However, they didn't mind at all; instead, they grinned at Manager Sun.
When he laughed, large clumps of black blood kept dripping from his mouth.
The nearly solidified black blood was like jelly...
After Manager Sun led the three ghosts into the room, he then asked a question.
"Why did the three of you come all this way in the middle of the night? Is there something urgent or what?"
The tall ghost in the lead smiled eerily upon hearing this: "What else can we do at a coffin shop? Of course, we order custom coffins."
"Make seven in total, four black ones and three white ones."
"They all have to be perfectly square, without the slightest deviation. That's all!"
After saying that, the tall ghost reached out and grabbed Manager Sun's hand without saying another word, and stuffed several banknotes from the Republic of China era into his hand.
Manager Sun tried to break free, but the other person's hand was like a large clamp made of solid ice, and he couldn't resist it at all.
Seeing that Manager Sun had accepted the "deposit," the three ghosts laughed even more eerily.
"Alright, we'll come pick it up in three days. Hurry up and get it done."
"If I don't do it well, hehehehe..."
Amidst eerie laughter, the three ghosts walked out of the door in a row.
When Manager Sun chased after him, he saw nothing but gusts of cold wind.
After recounting the above events, Manager Sun smiled wryly and took out several banknotes that circulated during the Republic of China era, placing them in front of Granny Wenmi.
But Granny Wenmi's attention wasn't on the banknotes; instead, she was staring intently at the bruises on Manager Sun's wrist.
The bruises were so dark and shiny that they also exuded a chill.
"Ghostly Green?!"
"Old Sun, they're going to leave their mark on you now, there's no escaping it!"
Manager Sun nodded with a wry smile: "That's right."
"It seems these three ghosts are incredibly powerful; at least I can't handle them with my current level of cultivation."
"Sigh, I've lived to be this old, so it's not a big deal if I die, but I'm worried that they'll continue to harm others."
Listening to the conversation between Granny Wenmi and Manager Sun, Zhao Youliang's curiosity was piqued.
He cautiously asked, "Uncle Sun, how do you know you can't handle the Three Ghosts?"
How do you know they'll harm others too?
Upon hearing this, Manager Sun's wry smile deepened.
"I couldn't refuse their deposits, which speaks volumes."
"As for why it's said to harm others...didn't the evil spirit order seven coffins, and such eerie coffins at that!"
To make it easier for you, dear readers, to understand the story, I must first mention the taboos of coffin makers.
There are many taboos, and the following two are related to the above content.
First, the color of the coffin is important:
Generally, the colors are yellow, red, black, white, and gold.
Yellow is the natural color of wood, and it is generally used to mark the passing of ordinary people.
Red is reserved for people over eighty years old, and in some places, such funerals are called "joyful funerals."
Black is reserved for those who die unnatural deaths, such as those caused by war, suicide, or premature death.
Black also has some regional characteristics; in some areas, black coffins are used exclusively.
White is reserved for unmarried women or young boys who died young.
The golden coffin was prepared exclusively for emperors.
The three ghosts ordered four black coffins and three white coffins from Manager Sun.
This means that at least seven more people will die near the town, all of them violent deaths.
This included three people: a girl and a boy.
Furthermore, the shape of the coffin requested by the evil spirit was simply horrifying, as it would ensure that the dead would never be reincarnated!
As we all know, coffins are rectangular, with one end larger than the other.
The larger end represents Yang, and the smaller end represents Yin. Yin and Yang are objective laws of nature. To exist between heaven and earth, one must conform to the laws of Yin and Yang.
Who has ever heard of a square coffin?
Putting a person inside a square piece of wood clearly forms the character "囚" (prisoner), which is a major taboo in Feng Shui!
After a person dies, their soul must report to the underworld, where it will be judged according to its merits and demerits during its lifetime.
They may be reincarnated, or they may be cast into various levels of hell to suffer.
If a soul remains in the mortal realm, it is as if it is constantly enduring torment.
Even a benevolent spirit would be driven mad by this torment over time and turn into a malevolent ghost that harms people everywhere.
......
After hearing Manager Sun's explanation, even Zhao Youliang, who was usually easygoing, couldn't help but exclaim "Holy crap!"
"Damn it, those three ghosts are absolutely despicable!"
"Uncle Sun, do we have any ideas on how to deal with them? We can't just let them harm people!"
After hearing Zhao Youliang's words, Manager Sun looked helplessly at Granny Wenmi beside him.
Seeing this, Granny Wenmi could only smile bitterly, and after a moment she sighed and spoke.
"Old Sun, now that things have come to this, this old woman won't be modest anymore."
"My cultivation is slightly higher than yours, but it's still limited."
“According to what you just said, it’s been over a hundred years since the Republic of China, so those three are all century-old ghosts.”
"I'm somewhat confident in dealing with one of these, but three at once... even if I risk my life, I can't do it!"
After hearing Granny Wenmi's words, Zhao Youliang's mind started to wander.
After glancing at Manager Sun, she asked timidly, "Grandma can handle one, Uncle Sun, can you handle one?"
"The last one... I want to try the last one?"
