Mr. Yin and Yang, the True Record of Folk Gossip

My gaze and that of Qian Shu froze on the volume at the same time, and He Zhi's gaze also fell into the gap between the axe.

The house was so quiet that you could hear a needle drop.

The ax handle rolled to the door, hissing on the ground.

After a long time, Hou Qianshu let out a long sigh: "I see, this is the reward you gave me?"

He glanced at Father Lu's body with a more complicated expression, and sighed: "It's okay, nothing was taken away, except for your life of stubbornly refusing to listen to my advice."

After saying that, Hou Qianshu broke off the body of the ax and handed it to me.

When I took the axe, I almost couldn't hold it steady, because the axe was too cold and very heavy.

He Zhi stepped forward quickly and picked up the wooden handle at the door.

After hesitating for a moment, I still carefully took out the old book that was in the crack of the axe.

After unfolding it, you can see the words "Coffin Technique" neatly written on it.

I am curious about this coffin art. What should be recorded in it is the coffin maker's craft?

But I still didn't open it rashly.

Hou Qianshu patted me on the shoulder and said, "The thing was given to you as a reward, and it is yours. If you hadn't found his body, he would have stood here and suffered forever, and he would not be reborn."

"There are quite a few people in the lineage of the coffin maker, and there are more people living outside. It's just making coffins, and it won't have much impact. You see, if there is a destiny, it will be delivered to a carpenter, and then let the carpenter enshrine a Lu coffin. It’s just a tablet. It can be regarded as you helping him continue the inheritance of this line.”

"If you don't read it, then if you send Father Lu to bury him, maybe he won't be at peace, just as the saying goes, you won't get rewarded for nothing."

Hou Qianshu's words really dispelled a lot of my worries.

I flipped through this coffin technique casually, and didn't read it carefully, so I decided to read it again when I had time.

He Zhi came back to me, she reached out and handed me the wooden handle.

Obviously, she also glanced at the old book in my hand.

Because Hou Qianshu was still here, I couldn't say anything directly, so I put the coffin technique, axe, and axe handle into the big black wooden box.

I raised my head again and told Hou Qianshu that it was getting late, everyone should rest for the night, and there are still many things to be busy tomorrow.

Hou Qianshu didn't stay in the courtyard anymore, He Zhi and I sent him outside the courtyard gate.

As soon as Qian Shu left, He Zhi stretched out a hand towards me.

She gritted her teeth and said: "I can no longer learn the skills of the ghost woman, I want to learn other things." Her voice was tired, but still clear enough: "There should be no other taboos in this coffin technique, right?" .”

I hesitated for a moment, then He Zhi lowered his head in disappointment, turned around and was about to walk towards the main room.

He Zhi didn't force it, but the disappointment in her eyes made me unbearable for a while.

I reached out to grab her, put down the big black wooden box, and took out the coffin.

"Just find a carpenter, he may not be able to bear it, you can't pass on the craftsmanship of the ghost woman, if you can teach this coffin technique, we won't take things from Father Lu in vain." When I said this, I was very serious. .

Because I really feel that I just bury Father Lu, and I can't afford to take away his family property.

But this is probably the only option he has left?

Otherwise, this coffin technique will always remain in the axe, and it will never see the light of day.

In my thoughts, He Zhi had already taken the "Coffin Technique" from me, and she held it in her arms like a treasure, smiling like a flower.

I reminded He Zhi that we slept for an hour in the past two days and two nights, and didn't eat much, so we can't endure this anymore, and told her not to look at it for too long, and go to bed quickly.

He Zhi nodded happily at me, turned around and ran briskly towards a room.

Right now I'm really exhausted, thirsty, hungry, and sleepy.

So I went straight into the main room, and by accident, I lay down on the coffin board.

I almost fell asleep.

This time I slept even more dimly and deeply.

In fact, I was lying on this coffin board, wondering if Father Lu would give me a dream or a message or something.

But until I woke up the next day, there was no sign of dreaming.

The sun shines through the window and falls on my face.

I propped myself up and realized that there was still someone standing in the yard.

Isn't this person Zhang Quan?

Zhang Quan also carried a large food box in his hand, and was looking around the room hesitantly.

When I got up, Zhang Quan also saw me, he was happy, and walked into the main room.

"Mr. Li, the whole town is waiting for your words. There is no movement in the yard. I can feel that you are all here."

I quickly took the food box in Zhang Quan's hand, and didn't care about other things. After opening it, I took out a white flour bun and stuffed it into my mouth hungrily.

Zhang Quan quickly opened all the food boxes for me and put them on a wooden table.

I almost swallowed a lot of food, filling up the empty Wu Zang Temple, which relieved a lot.

After contemplating for a moment, I briefly told Zhang Quan about the discussion I had with Hou Qian Shu.

There was obvious surprise in Zhang Quan's eyes.

After hesitating for a moment, Zhang Quancai said, "It seems that there is no way to do this? But I just don't know if there will be any rebound from the townspeople..."

"After all, it is impossible to let everyone not be afraid of Mr. Hou, and you have to lock up the official..."

I paused for a few seconds before telling Zhang Quan that this matter depends on Qian Shu's ability.

At this time, several other doors also opened one after another.

Liu Tianniu, He Zhi, and Liu Huayan all came out of different rooms.

I opened my mouth and greeted them to come and eat first.

I didn't waste any time, I simply explained a few words to them, and took Zhang Quan to meet Qian Shu first.

Zhang Quan's worry is not unreasonable, and this matter has to be resolved today, if you wait one more day, it will change if it is too late.

When we arrived at Hou Qianshu's house, I saw at a glance that Hou Qianshu was sitting at the gate of the courtyard.

Beside him, there were several large boxes, some of which were opened, and the insides were full of big yellow croakers, big money, and all kinds of gold and silver.

Obviously, after a night's rest, Hou Qianshu's demeanor improved a lot.

Zhang Quan was dumbfounded, staring blankly at those boxes, swallowing saliva non-stop.

Hou Qianshu nodded to me first, smiled lightly, and said that he knew why I came in such a hurry.

Immediately afterwards, he turned his eyes to Zhang Quanquan again, and said calmly: "I have hidden all my savings in the house all my life. Many people in the town want it, but they can't find it. I will take it all out now. I build houses and courtyards for everyone, will anyone be afraid of me?"

"I'll take out the money and distribute it to everyone, but the mayor, I think Zhang Quan is very suitable for you. What do you think?"

Zhang Quan's eyes were wide open, and he was completely stunned.
