Chapter 3 Chapter Three

"Ning'er, let's go." Without further explanation, Wei Qiuxi hurriedly left the "Corpse Inn" with his grandson. Wei Qiuxi took Ning'er to go out, but he was not in a hurry to find the god of joy, but stopped at a corner of the "Corpse Inn". Wei Ning asked puzzledly: "Grandpa, aren't we going to find Xishen, why don't we leave?" Wei Qiuxi smiled slightly: "God Xi, let's wait here, and it will come." "What?" Wei Ning asked puzzled. "Oh," Wei Qiuxi sighed, and said, "My child, when you grow up, you will know that sometimes the most terrifying thing in this world is not demons, but people's hearts!"

Wei Ning was young, so he didn't know what Wei Qiuxi was saying. Seeing that his grandfather stopped talking, he obediently didn't ask any further questions.After a while, the door of the corpse inn opened, Zhang Laosi poked his head out in a panic, Wei Qiuxi's grandfather and grandson hurriedly hid it, Zhang Laosi saw that there was no one around, so he went in again, after a while, Zhang Laosi Came out with two strangers carrying the coffin. "As expected, I guessed correctly." Wei Qiuxi said to himself. After the three of them carried the coffin out, Wei Qiuxi and Wei Ning came out in a leisurely manner. Wei Qiuxi looked at Zhang Laosi with a half-smile and said, "I didn't tell you to wait at home, why are you going?"

Seeing that Wei Qiuxi didn't go far away, Zhang Laosi knew that his "good deed" had probably been seen through by Wei Qiuxi, so he looked a little unnatural, coughed dryly and said, "Well, isn't Master Wei going to look for the God of Joy? Why don't you go?" , and after the sun goes down, it will be even more difficult to find." Wei Qiuxi sneered and said, "If I really believe your words, I'm afraid I won't be able to find the God of Joy in my life." Zhang Laosi smiled and said: "Where is Master Wei, the three of us, grandpa and grandson, are not in a hurry, so we are in a hurry to go out."

The front of the two coffin-bearers was about 40 years old, with an honest face, and he was a standard farmer, and the one behind was a younger generation. The three of them looked alike, probably three generations of grandparents. Wei Qiuxi raised his eyebrows and said, "What's in your coffin?" Zhang Laosi said: "What else can there be? There was a dead person in the town yesterday, and we helped carry the coffin for burial today. Master Wei, please make way. It would be bad if the time for burial is delayed." Wei Qiuxi said, "Can I see it?" When Zhang Laosi heard that Wei Qiuxi was about to open the coffin for an autopsy, he looked a little nervous, and said, "I'm afraid this is not good, everyone is already dead, so don't bother him anymore."

Wei Qiuxi said calmly, "I'm afraid it's not someone else, but the god of joy I brought." Zhang Laosi said: "How is it possible, Master Wei really knows how to joke." Wei Qiuxi sighed, and said, "Do you know where your secrets are exposed?" "Although you are well-prepared, whether it is our master's incision or the rules of accepting the God of Joy, you have imitated it exactly, enough to be fake. But there is something wrong with a small detail..." "Impossible, we have learned for three full days." The young man who carried the coffin behind couldn't hold back, and interrupted.

Zhang Laosi's heart sank, knowing that he had been completely exposed. "If my guess is correct, you are not the owners of the Xishen Inn, or even from Yuanling, but you should be from Changsha or Yiyang." "My grandma is from Yuanling. We have been speaking Yuanling dialect since we were young. You can't tell it!" The young man thought that he was showing his flaws in language, and quickly defended himself. Wei Qiuxi nodded and said, "Your language is indeed the same as that of the local people, but you have forgotten a taboo in our industry, that is, none of the Mr. Zhuozu or the owner of the Xishen Inn has ever had a surname Zhang. Not to mention accepting disciples with the surname Zhang."

"Why?" Zhang Laosi asked. "Hehe, you should know the surname of the Jiangxi side. My Chenzhou lineage and Maoshan lineage have been enemies since ancient times. How could there be a disciple named Zhang." The Jiangxi side that Wei Qiuxi said was naturally Jiangxi Zhang Tianshi on Longhu Mountain. Wei Qiuxi continued: "At first, I was also very confused, because in the past few decades, my lineage in Chenzhou has already existed in name only, and it is not impossible for someone surnamed Zhang to be the owner of the Xishen Inn, but I have welcomed my whole life. Xishen, I have never met Xishen walking away. When Xishen was walking away last night, I found that the charm on his back door was torn off. At that time, there was no other person present except me, you and Ning'er. Who else but you."

"I was also on a whim at the time. I wanted to see if the exorcism that had been passed down for hundreds of years was true. I didn't expect it to cause it to go away." Wei Ning interjected, "It turned out that you were the one who almost killed me by the God of Joy." At this moment, the middle-aged man who hadn't interrupted all this time spoke up: "Father, what are you talking to him about? Are the three of us still afraid of this old man and a child? Go back early, Xi Cui is still waiting to buy gold for her!" Where are the earrings?" Wei Qiuxi sighed, and said, "I guessed right, you really did it for this corpse."

The young man said: "That's right, so what's the matter, I have to make a decision, if you are sensible, get out, I am in a good mood today, I am too lazy to talk nonsense with you." Wei Qiuxi said: "I know that you are looking for money, but a gentleman loves money in a proper way. We chasers have rules for driving, and you should also have a mound. Faqiu's rules, when will you start to switch to this kind of low-level work that extorts people's money from people's corpses?" "Hey, what's the matter, our business is not doing well now, and we will stop robbing tombs a long time ago. We will do whatever comes with quick money," the young man said.

Wei Qiuxi said sharply: "You are trampling the dead, you know that!" "Hey, so what? How are you guys doing? Walking around the streets with corpses, pretending to be gods and ghosts, it's not the same way to cheat money. How about this, let's partner up and get some money from the family of County Magistrate Yang. When the time comes Giving you points is worse than walking from Changde to Yuanling with a dead body on your back." "We rely on the skills left by our ancestors to eat. We don't steal or rob, and we stand upright when we walk." "Come on," the young man said foolishly: "You really think of yourself as 250,000 to 60,000, who knows what you use, it's okay to deceive children, it's a corpse fraud, and a corpse chaser, you are my father You idiot, really believe that there are ghosts in the world."

Wei Qiuxi sighed and said, "If you haven't seen it, it doesn't mean you don't have it. You are still young, and you don't know many things in this world." "What's the point of talking to him?" The middle-aged man became impatient, "Let's go and see what he does. Maybe he really dares to report to the officials." He was about to raise the coffin. "Put down the coffin, do you know what you are doing? If the spirit of joy goes away, we will all die." The young man said: "Don't be scary. I didn't scare you too much. I grew up wandering around the graveyard since I was a child. I haven't seen a corpse like this before." This is true, the three of them are a famous tomb robbery team in Yiyang, and they have seen quite a few corpses. Wei Qiuxi knew that these three people would definitely not believe it, so he said anxiously, "You guys, have you met the God of Joy?" The younger generation proudly said: "Not only did I touch it, I also pissed on him. What a shit county magistrate, he can control the lives of tens of thousands of people before he dies, but now he doesn't want to drink my urine. Let him be the county magistrate There is life to be greedy but not life to enjoy, he was greedy so much when he was not dead, we are robbing the rich and helping the poor, eliminating harm for the people." Wei Qiuxi stomped his feet and said, "This is bad. The God of Joy has just passed away, and if he comes into contact with anger, he will produce corpse poison. Look at your arms, is there any change?" Zhang Laosi has seen Wei Qiuxi cast spells, so he is completely different from his son and grandson's disbelief, and he was inverted when he was young (Inverted Dou: refers to tomb robbery. The shape of the tomb in the past was similar to a pyramid, which is the shape of a bucket. So Inverted Dou is Said to "open" this tomb.) He also encountered some unexplainable phenomena, and he was dubious about expelling the corpse. When he raised his arm, he discovered that a large white spot had grown on his elbow. It doesn't hurt, just a little smelly.Look at the other two, both have the same white spots in the same place.
