Not long after, Liu Wensan pushed the door out, and the door of Blind Chen's room next to him also opened in response.
He briefly said a few words about the opening of the coffin, and the statue of Duke Ai.
Liu Wensan himself was still a bit sleepy, but suddenly he became sober and a little bit excited.
Gou Huang led the three of us out of the courtyard to the main house of the Gou family.
At this moment, Liu Yu's curse was nowhere to be seen, and those who were tied up were sent to an unknown place.
Outside the main room, there are quite a lot of tables, chairs, and tables in the open space at the junction of the branch of the Xuanhe River and the gate of the Gou family.
The iron coffin was placed on a long table, and the three animals were worshiped in front of it, and joss sticks were lit.
The incense is placed in the three-legged bronze square tripod. It seems that this incense burner is very valuable, and it should be an old object.
Most of the braziers on the ground burn paper-made ingots and paper-made copper coins.
At this moment, the fire was dimly lit, the smoke was lingering, and the air was filled with the aroma of incense sticks and the smell of burning paper.
Gou Santang changed into a light blue gown, wearing a yarmulke with a long tail feather on the top of the hat.
This is not the official uniform hat of the Qing Dynasty, it has a clean and honest air.
It's just that the family property of the Gou family seems to be somewhat contrary to this aura.
There were about ninety corpse hunters, all standing in front of those tables and chairs, but not sitting down.
After we walked out of the main room, Gou Santang also looked over, he nodded,
Of course, I also return the gift.
Blind Chen was relatively calm and expressionless.
Liu Wensan was much more straightforward, looking at the iron coffin with a little expectation.
Gou Huang took us to sit down in front of the three vacant seats, which are the closest to the iron coffin.
Twilight has fallen, and the burning clouds in the sky are reflected in the setting sun, revealing a blood-like loneliness.
Gou Santang thumped his chest, coughed twice, and seemed to clear his throat.
He shouted full of anger: "The twenty-fifth head of the Gou family, Gou Santang, respects the teachings of the ancestors, and takes the coffin of the ancestor Ai Gong, and puts it in front of the gate of the Gou family!" "The Gou family has never worshiped the ancestors!"
His voice was so loud that it almost echoed beside the tributaries.
At the same time, on both sides of the main room of the Gou family, a large number of people dressed in commoner clothes and white cloth hooded hats came out in a file from the door openings in the corridors of the Gou family. Men, women, young and old, there are about a hundred mouthfuls coming out together.
They arrived behind Gou Santang very neatly.
Gou Santang knelt down first, and they all knelt down at the same time.
"Kneel three times and kowtow nine times, thank Ai Gong for protecting the descendants, the Gou family will flourish, and the family will last forever!"
He shouted again loudly, and kowtowed three times in a row!
Those members of the Gou family also followed his actions completely.
But what Gou Santang said shocked me.
The ancestor of the Gou family, Duke Ai?
If I heard correctly, is it the Duke Ai in the statue of Duke Ai?
But isn't that the patriarch of the corpse hunter?
? Turning my head to look at Liu Wensan, I found that his brows were also frowning into Sichuan characters, his hands were also tightly holding the handle of the seat, and his eyes were also full of doubts.
However, the corpse hunters behind the Gou family were not surprised, they seemed to have known all this for a long time.
After thinking for a moment, Gou Santang knelt down and knocked three times, then stood up again.
He took a stick of incense, turned around and glanced at the crowd.
In addition to the redness on the forehead, there was also a bit of red light on the face, and he said in a deep voice: "Most of the corpse hunters in the world don't know that the Gou family is the descendant of Duke Ai, but fortunately there are still some who have stayed in the Gou family for a long time. The orthodoxy of corpses! This is the second knock, Gou Santang invites everyone to knock and bow to the coffin of the patriarch Ai Gong!"
?My brows became more and more wrinkled. This matter does not seem to be a fraud, but Gou Santang's words of "orthodox" made me feel biased.
Not to mention that the Gou family actually does not have so many corpse hunters. I have heard from He Xianshui before that there are only a few of them left, and then a group of people were taught, and some were hired.
Furthermore, most of these people are mercenary, so what orthodoxy is there?
Although Liu Wensan is not very disciplined, he is much more orthodox than these people.
However, Gou Santang's words are obviously very useful to the corpse hunters below.
?They all looked extremely excited, and knelt down together with Gou Santang.
Liu Wensan also stood up, and knelt down facing the iron coffin of the statue of Duke Ai.
After another kneel and three kowtows, everyone stood up and returned to their seats to sit down.
Gou Santang's forehead already had some bloodstains, but he didn't know the pain, and the excitement on his face was even more.
Huoshaoyun has been swallowed by the night, and the last ray of skylight has disappeared and disappeared.
All the lights in front of the Gou's house were extinguished, and they didn't know when they made preparations. On the banks of the small river on both sides of the tributary of the Xuanhe River, there were actually white candles, and someone from the Gou's family went to light them.
Coupled with the light from the mourning hall itself and the moonlight slowly coming out, the line of sight was not hindered much.
Facing the coffin, Gou Santang continued to shout loudly: "The third kneeling is for the descendants to respect the precepts of the ancestors, to open the coffins of the ancestors, to take the good corpses to change clothes, and to sit in the Gou family with the immortal corpses. Let the descendants burn incense, let the Gou family prosper and prosper!"
This time Gou Santang knelt down alone and kowtowed three times!
The sound of dong dong dong almost formed an echo.
Gou Santang kowtowed like this, I was afraid that he would faint.
In the end, when he got up again, he just raised his hand!
Immediately, three people from the Gou family came out, each holding some tools in their hands, and they came to the long iron coffin on the table in the mourning hall!
The iron coffin also has iron nails. According to common sense, the nails have been soaked in water for so many years, and they should have rusted and integrated with the coffin lid long ago.
But in the process of the Gou family opening the coffin and prying the nails, there was no obstacle.
The iron nails are complete and there is no rust at all.
I sighed softly in my heart, this was all due to the dragon's aura at the hole, although the coffin was made of iron, it still had vitality.
About half an hour later, hundreds of iron nails were removed from the iron coffin.
Then there was a light creak, and there was a gap in the coffin lid. I don't know if it was because of my eyesight, but a puff of white air came out.
Of course, this white air is fleeting.
"Open the coffin!" Gou Santang shouted loudly!
Together with the three Gou family members, he lifted the coffin lid up! The mouth of the coffin was exposed to the moonlight.
Those who retrieved the corpses all looked extremely nervous.
Liu Wensan also looked up and looked up, wanting to look inside.
However, the height of the coffin happened to be equal to the head of the person sitting down, and no one stood up now.
After all, this is an important moment for the Gou family, and no one has caused trouble or broken the rules.
Gou Santang stared straight at the inside of the coffin, his body was also trembling slightly, and tremblingly said: "Lift up the corpse! Please ancestor Ai Gong come out of the coffin."
The four of them reached into the coffin to fish it out.
The next moment, a white-haired old man was lifted out of the coffin.
I was also dumbfounded. (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading? Add this book to your favoritesI'm a member and bookmarked this chapterCopy the address of this book and recommend it to your friends for pointsChapter error? Click here to report
