The four casual cultivators were watching intently, but were shocked when they saw this!

Two of the casual cultivators originally helped the little girl's parents sit up from the coffin in accordance with the request of the mourning woman. When they saw this, they suddenly felt fearful and let go of their hands, letting them lie back in the coffin.

Upon seeing this, the mourning woman's expression changed and she blurted out: "Don't..."

Before he finished speaking, he saw the two casual cultivators falling straight down without saying a word.

In an instant, he was completely out of his mind.

The face of the mourning woman changed drastically, and she looked frightened. She hurriedly ordered the remaining two casual cultivators: "Quick! Help the people up quickly and start dressing up. They can't lie down again."

The remaining two casual cultivators were shocked and did not dare to neglect. They quickly stepped forward and lifted the body in the coffin again.

They were all shocked, angry and terrified that Su Zhentian had arranged such a terrible task for them!

"Two people are missing, so we have to hurry up." The mourning woman's face was very ugly and she was also very scared. She hurriedly put on the big red wedding dress for the little girl. After checking that there was nothing wrong, she took it out of the bamboo basket.

, took a foot-high jade vase with branches and flowers, put it into her arms, and then let her lie back in the coffin.

Immediately afterwards, she dressed up and changed the little girl's parents one by one, but the parents were dressed in water red.

After all the work, the mourning woman's forehead was covered with sweat, but she still directed the remaining two casual cultivators to help the fallen cultivators up and dress them up: "The souls who died in the house are dowries."

"If we don't bring them along, the whole village will be cursed."

The two casual cultivators who were still alive had no objections and immediately followed the instructions. Whether or not the whole village was cursed had nothing to do with them.

What they worry about is that if they don't do this, they will soon follow in the footsteps of their companions.

Moreover, since all the companions are dead anyway, there is no use in keeping the corpses. It can give the living a little chance to survive, and it is not a waste of time to go together...

At the door of Lao Xu's house, villagers arrived with eight casual cultivators.

These eight casual cultivators have varying levels of cultivation, some are in the Qi training stage, and some are in the foundation building stage. At this moment, they all hold the same musical instrument in their hands, some are suonas, some are gongs and drums, and some are pipa, flute, flute, etc.

The villager who led the way had no intention of entering, and only told them: "When you go in, don't go to the back. Just in the main room, blow every other incense stick."

"Once it comes out, the music can't stop."

"The mourner will tell you what to do when the time comes."

With that said, he motioned for everyone to come in.

Seeing this, the casual cultivators looked at each other, pushed open the ajar door, and walked into the simple main room. Because there were not enough tables and chairs, they let the three people holding the pipa and the flute and flute sit down, while the others stood and held their hands.

The gong and drum player was the first to strike, and others followed one after another.

These eight people can play some musical instruments. Although they may not be outstanding, the monks' control of the body and ability to learn ordinary skills are far beyond comparison with ordinary people.

Therefore, I was a little stumbled at first, but soon I became coordinated, started whimpering, and began to sing sad music in unison.

The sound of mournful music rang out, attracting many villagers to come out to watch the fun.

These villagers did not make any noise or make a fuss. They just stood outside the door and looked directly at them. In their eyes, there was a dead silence, which was very scary.

They were obviously just mortals, but the sight of these casual cultivators made their hair stand on end.

According to the instructions of the villagers who brought them here, everyone would stop blowing the incense once they played it. Originally, this requirement was not difficult for mortals to accomplish, and it should be no pressure for monks.

But for some reason, after playing a stick of incense, everyone felt exhausted mentally and physically, and actually wanted to fall asleep immediately. Therefore, when it was time to rest, everyone immediately closed their eyes and rested their minds.

However, after a few rounds, two casual cultivators suddenly felt something behind them while they were resting.

When I looked back, I saw that it was the kitchen, but there was nothing unusual about it.

After several times in a row, the two casual cultivators suddenly stood up and walked towards the kitchen stiffly...

They got up and walked in. Others didn't pay attention, they were still closing their eyes to relax.

After the time for burning incense was up, everyone picked up their instruments and continued playing, only to find that the two people had not returned yet.

"What's going on?" Everyone was surprised and called each other, "Have they forgotten the time?"

"No!" Someone reacted and reminded everyone in a deep voice, "Even if you forget the time and hear the gongs and drums outside, you should run back immediately... But look, are they making any movement? There is a problem in the kitchen."

"The villagers told us not to go to the back. It seems that not only the back, but also the kitchen is not allowed."

"There is something strange about this village... Su Zhentian is not as kind-hearted as the rumors say. No wonder Qiao Zhenzhuan has four junior sisters, but none of them were sent here..."

"No! It's also possible that this is not Fairy Qiao's order at all! From the beginning to the end, Fairy Yumeng is giving us orders, and we haven't seen Su Zhentian's disciples at all!"

At the same time, in the mansion in the east of the village, Fairy Yu Meng came back from outside with her black hair like a waterfall and her skirt flowing.

This time, the four monks who accompanied the mourning woman to mourn were all arranged by her under the guise of Su Zhentian. In return, the mourning woman had promised to tell her the origins of the village after the funeral was over.

.

However, the mourning woman also said that the other party is not the village chief, so the secrets he knows are limited. The only person who truly understands the situation is the village chief.

For this reason, Fairy Yumeng went to the village chief again yesterday and took over all the errands such as the drummers and coffin bearers. Then she turned around and selected low-level casual cultivators to carry out the mission under the banner of Su Zhentian.

However, the village chief was very tight-lipped. He always responded vaguely to Fairy Yu Meng's questioning and was unwilling to reveal the information.

But it doesn't matter.

Anyway, those low-level casual cultivators have no other use, and there are so many of them. Even if they can only test the weirdness of the funeral, it is not a waste.

In addition, regarding the rules of this village, Shi Wanli has confirmed that "Don't break into empty houses" is true.

Then there are other taboos, such as not wearing red at night, and not wearing hairpins during the day... Now that Sister Qiao Ciguang and Shi Wanli are not here, I just want to find some casual cultivators to test it.

Thinking of this, Fairy Yumeng immediately sent a message to several casual cultivators to follow her, left the house, and walked to a secluded place...

Mulberry Village.

Pei Ling had just finished packing and opened the courtyard door when he saw a servant approaching, bowed and saluted, and said: "Sir, today is a big day for my master. I would like to invite you to come and have a glass of wine."

"Okay." Pei Ling nodded and followed him towards the village chief's house.

At this moment, the whole village was decorated with lanterns and colorful lights, and everything was covered in red and green, looking very happy.

However, the red lanterns hanging along the way are all made of human bones and skin, and even the candles burning inside are refined from corpse oil.

Regarding this scene, Pei Ling walked quietly without any change on his face.

In addition to him, there were many villagers coming out of each house, greeting each other, and walking towards the village chief's house.

Obviously, in such a remote place, the village chief's prestige and status are extremely high. If he marries his son, the whole village must come to congratulate him.

Soon, seven pines and cypresses were in sight.

The red-lacquered door was now wide open, and the housekeeper and a group of servants were standing at the door, smiling to welcome the endless flow of congratulators.
