Chapter 743
"The dead are on their way, the living should avoid them~dang~"
In the dark night, the sound of clear bells drifted in the wind.
In the night sky, two figures could be vaguely seen flying one after the other.
In the distance, a villa was brightly lit and white flags were fluttering.
Two figures landed silently at the entrance of the villa.
"The road is long, the wanderer is returning home!"
Bai Yu sang and entered the villa from the side door.
Someone in the villa had already prepared to welcome him into a mourning hall.
Bai Yu shook the flag in his hand, and a corpse behind him lay down in the coffin in the middle without touching the ground.
Outside the mourning hall, the head of the Tu family sensed the breath of his beloved son and burst into tears.
Other relatives and friends also cried.
Bai Yu was silent on the side, but just lit incense and burned yellow paper.
After a while, he murmured:
"The wanderer changes his clothes, the stranger stays away~"
According to the rules of corpse-driving, the corpse driver must keep watch alone on the first night after the corpse returns home, tidy up the corpse's appearance, and change its burial clothes.
Before that, the corpse's face is covered with a talisman and cannot be exposed.
Only on the second day can the family members go to the mourning hall and formally bid farewell to the corpse.
The head of the Tu family, Tu En, is a middle-aged man with a square face and gray hair.
He wiped away his tears and bowed to Bai Yu outside:
"Master, I'll leave Li'er's funeral to you."
Bai Yu nodded slightly:
"Fellow Daoist Tu, please accept my condolences. I will do my best to take care of your son's funeral."
Tu En sighed and led his family away.
Bai Yu called Lao Mo and Zujiang to protect the law and began to keep watch.
At this time, in the backyard of Tu's Villa.
A graceful and beautiful mature woman with a murderous look on her face:
"Tu An, the corpse of that little evildoer has actually returned, what are you going to do!"
Tu An had a bitter look on his face:
"Second Madam, that Immortal Bai really doesn't know what's good for him. He failed to raise the corpse, but he actually went deep into the Abyss to find the body of the eldest son."
The beautiful mature woman was holding a civet cat in her arms, and she clenched one hand and actually grabbed a ball of fur from the white cat.
The white cat trembled, but did not dare to cry out.
The beautiful woman stared at Tu An with her eyes fixed:
"There is such a person! He could have taken the full reward if he failed, and made a fortune for nothing, but he was unwilling to do so, and insisted on going into the Abyss to suffer for himself?"
Tu An lowered his head, feeling cold in his heart.
It turned out that the second madam was not Tu Gongli's mother, but his stepmother.
The second madam was behind Tu Gongli's accident this time.
The second wife instructed Tu An to find a way to interrupt the corpse-driving and not let Tu Gongli's body return intact, but the corpse-driving reward would be paid as usual.
In this way, the eldest son's body would be dead without any evidence.
The task of the corpse-driving faction would be settled as usual, and no one would have any objection.
As a result, Tu An became greedy and secretly swallowed the subsequent rewards.
He thought that Bai Yu would not risk entering Tianyuan again after taking the deposit.
As a result, Bai Yu was serious and entered Tianyuan and fished out the body.
The graceful and beautiful woman said coldly:
"If the corpse driver asks for divination tomorrow and the old man knows the truth, neither you nor I will be in trouble!"
"The corpse driver sect is extremely mysterious. Even without summoning the soul, information can be obtained from the corpse."
Tu An panicked and knelt on the ground and crawled over:
"Second Madam, what should I do? The master will definitely kill me if he finds out."
"Madam, you can't abandon me. I'm working for you and the second young master."
The graceful and beautiful woman's eyes were full of disgust, and she kicked Tu An away:
"You are a waste. Put away your tears. If the old man finds out that something is wrong, you will be dead!"
She put down the civet cat in her arms and walked out the door.
...
In the mourning hall, Bai Yu had already tidied up the corpse and put on the shroud.
From time to time, he added some paper money to the brazier and chanted the scriptures for salvation.
In the middle of the night, he suddenly heard a voice from outside:
"Master, I have something to ask you."
Bai Yu frowned slightly.
According to the rules of corpse-driving, relatives are not allowed to be seen on the first night.
He opened the door a crack and saw a graceful and dignified beautiful woman.
He recognized that this person was Zhao, the current mistress of the Tu family.
"It turns out to be Madam Tu, what's the matter?"
Zhao bowed to Bai Yu, and when she bent down, the attractive curve of her chest was revealed.
"Master Bai, my son died young, and I, as a mother, am deeply saddened."
"Master Bai, can you allow me to have a conversation with Li'er?"
Bai Yu did not want to cause trouble, and said with an embarrassed look:
"Madam, please go back. You can talk to your son tomorrow if you have anything to say."
Zhao burst into tears, crying like a pear blossom in the rain:
"Master Bai, my son has a miserable life. He lost his mother at an early age. When I married him, he was just a little kid of this height."
"My concubine,I treated him like my own son, and waited for him to grow up, but he met with misfortune again. "
"Master, please let me meet Li'er and talk to him, and bring him some things he liked when he was alive."
"As long as Master is kind, I will agree to whatever you want."
As she said this, she walked forward and handed Bai Yu a storage bag.
Bai Yu thought of the strange situation when he drove the corpse before, and he had some guesses in his heart.
I'm afraid there is something fishy behind this.
But as a corpse driver, the biggest rule is to do more and say less, only bury the dead, and don't ask about the living.
He made way and said:
"Madam is so affectionate, Bai Mou will help you and your son, and give you half an incense stick of time. "
As he said this, he took the storage bag and left the mourning hall.
With permission, Zhao entered the mourning hall, covered her face with a handkerchief, and began to cry.
She was truly heartbroken and cried heartbreakingly.
After half an incense stick of time, Zhao left the mourning hall, bowed to Bai Yu, thanked him, and left.
Bai Yu returned to the mourning hall and looked at Tu Gongli's body. On the surface, he did not see anything unusual.
But he found that there were a few inconspicuous burial objects beside Tu Gongli, mostly cloth tigers, jade pendants, etc.
However, he found that the material of the jade pendant was unusual.
"The soul-warming jade, if I remember correctly, will dispel corpse qi, change the state of the corpse, and even have the effect of destroying the soul——"
Forget it, it is difficult for an honest official to judge family affairs, and the corpse driver only cares about the dead and not the living, so he cannot interfere too much in the cause and effect of the living.
On the second day, Tu Gongli's funeral was officially held.
Bai Yu presided over the ceremony personally and performed rituals for seven consecutive days.
A long suona sound echoed in the hills.
"Dust to dust, earth to earth, there is no way back from the underworld! "
Finally, there was a change in the Burial Record.
[Successfully buried Tu Gongli, the peak of the virtual immortal, and received rewards: Ice Spirit Root +22, Burial Points +189.]
[Optional rewards: Immortal Farming Sutra, Elementary Law (breeding), Second-level Immortal Planting Technique, Ice Ling True Method, Grass Identification Technique...]
[Funeral participation rate 75%, family satisfaction 81%, two additional rewards can be selected.]
Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
After five hundred years, he finally performed a funeral again.
