"So Uncle Seven has to come over?" I said.

"If we really want to see the situation inside the coffin , there is no other way except the Earth Spirit Eye." Luo Tianbao said.

You Qing walked up to us and asked, "Mr. Luo, could it be that my mother's body was really stolen?"

"I'm afraid so. Alas, people nowadays can do anything unscrupulous to make a little money." Luo Tianbao frowned.

"Then what should I do? My sister's body is missing, and now my mother's body is also missing. What kind of disaster has happened to our family?" She burst into tears.

Losing money and property is common, but I've never heard of someone like You Qing losing her mother's remains . I understand her pain and offered comfort, "Although this is extremely unfortunate, the murderer who stole the body has been caught. There's hope the case will be solved. Just be calm, and you might get good news in a few days."

The villagers still gathered around the scene and were unwilling to leave. Uncle San said, "Everyone, please disperse. No matter what the case is, the truth will eventually come out. There's no need to worry about it. This case will definitely be solved."

Everyone was left with no other options. Although reluctant, they could only leave one after another. Uncle San shook his head helplessly and said, "I never thought a ritual would encounter such a major change. Girl, you must accept my condolences."

"Master, I only ask you to find my mother's body. She lived a lonely life and never had a good day. I didn't expect that she couldn't even rest in peace after her death." You Qing cried.

Uncle San sighed and said, "Of course I'm willing to help you, but I'm not a god, so I can't possibly know the whereabouts of your mother's body. Think about it, death is like the extinguishing of a light. After a hundred years, dust returns to dust, and in the end, won't we all turn into a handful of yellow earth?"

"Master, I understand what you said, but when I think of my poor mother, I just... I just..." She burst into tears again.

"Alas, not caring about it is the greatest filial piety you can show to your mother." Uncle San's tone was filled with helplessness. He then turned to Auntie and said, "Originally, it was a soul-calling ceremony and a grave relocation. Now the relocation is no longer necessary. You should settle the bill with You Qing and return the money."

"I don't want money, I just want my mother's remains."

You Qing was in a state of emotional collapse, so I could only go forward and help her to the side to comfort her. Unexpectedly, the girl threw herself into my arms, hugged my waist tightly and burst into tears.

If it were a few days ago, I would have pushed her away and, to put it bluntly, I would have thought she was dirty, but today I felt that she was very pitiful, just a pitiful person living in this world.

After that, my family changed clothes and drove to a nearby town to find a restaurant. We hadn't eaten all night and were already starving. When the food came, I just poured myself a bowl of rice with broth and ate it.

Luo Tianbao asked, "Uncle San, shall we bury Luo Jingfeng and then go back?"

Uncle San said, "Yes, we can't control other things. The public security organs will definitely give the local people an explanation."

"Uncle San, have they really dug so many passages underground? This is quite a huge undertaking," Chu Sen said.

"This mass grave is quite large. I took a quick look and saw at least a hundred earthen graves. And there's no guarantee they didn't dig holes into the local ancestral grave area. Don't underestimate ghost marriages . It's a very profitable business. People even kill to make money, let alone digging up dirt."

"These people are really crazy." Chu Sen said.

"Once human nature is blinded by desire, people will behave madly. That's what people are like." Uncle San said thoughtfully after drinking a glass of wine.

My aunt took out a red envelope and handed it to me, saying, "Xiao Zhen, this is the commission for your business introduction. Keep it and don't spend it carelessly."

I was about to decline when Luo Tianbao said, "Don't be polite if I ask you to keep it. In our line of work, don't make a penny more, but don't make a penny less either." This sentence may seem ordinary, but in the near future I will realize its deeper meaning.

It was already late at night after we had supper. You Qing was taken home by her relatives to rest. We could only book a few rooms in a small hotel in the town. The next morning, we got up early and followed our family back to Wanghu Village. The only thing we had to do today was to bury the beehive statue that possessed the soul of Luo Jingfeng . According to traditional beliefs, a person can only enter the cycle of reincarnation when he is buried without any worries, so burial is the most important step. If the deceased is not buried, all the merits and rituals done before will be in vain.

The statue was covered with black satin, and the coffin was transported from Longhua Village. It was a small coffin specially used for burying babies. Not many people were there this time. Only Uncle San recited a spell in front of the statue and placed the Dharma body in the coffin. After that, he pasted a sealing talisman on the coffin, riveted the coffin side with longevity nails, and nailed the coffin lid shut.

The nails used to seal the coffin are also called rivets. The number of rivets used is very particular. Generally, five rivets are used: three on the left and one on the right for a male deceased; three on the right and one on the left for a female deceased.

After everything was ready, the coffin bearers we invited from the neighboring village came out.

Later I learned that the business of coffin bearers is very territorial. No matter where the funeral is held, the first thing to do is to find a local coffin bearer, otherwise the funeral cannot be completed smoothly. Therefore, in our family's entire funeral process, we can find the corresponding person in charge for every link, except for the coffin bearer. Because every time we carry the coffin to a place, there is a coffin bearer who is specifically contracted for this job, and outsiders cannot get involved at all.

No one knows why there is such a rule among coffin bearers, but it has existed for thousands of years and has become a strict "ancestral rule".

The leader of the coffin bearers was called Wu Bao, who was tall and strong. Although the weather was still quite cold, he was only wearing a white cloth double-breasted shirt that exposed his chest, a pair of wrinkled blue cloth trousers, and a pair of mud-stained straw sandals. His chest was covered with a palm-wide pubic hair that was exposed.

He did not say anything, and squatted in front of the coffin with seven people until the whip was set off. Eight coffin bearers fixed the bottom of the coffin with black lacquered wooden sticks. Wu Bao shouted "Get up", and saw the eight strong coffin bearers working together with a loud slogan.

However, the wooden poles carried by Wu Bao and another person were bent, but the small coffin stood firmly on the ground without moving.

After gathering his strength for a while, Wu Bao finally released the bar on his shoulders, rubbing them and saying, "Boss, we can't move this coffin."

Uncle San frowned and thought for a moment before muttering to himself, "That's not right. Hun'er has already been summoned back, so how could something unexpected happen?"

Wu Baochong's men exchanged glances, and a young man in his twenties with scars on his head walked up to Uncle San and said, "Boss, we don't have the skills to carry this coffin. Please forgive us."

Uncle San frowned and nodded, saying, "Pay the bill to the masters."

So my aunt took out her wallet and gave each of them one. My uncle said, "This job isn't over yet. I'll need you guys again once the coffin is ready to be lifted."

"We understand. You can talk to us anytime after this is over. We will definitely do a great job." Wu Bao took the responsibility and left with seven people.

After these people disappeared, my aunt said, "Third brother, since the deceased's wish has been fulfilled, there shouldn't be any more accidents. Could it be that something went wrong with the ritual?"

Uncle San pondered for a long time and said, "There is absolutely no way something went wrong with the ritual, otherwise why would Luo Jingfeng shed tears of blood?"

At this time, You Qing also came over and asked, "Master, what happened to my sister?"

"We don't know the reason yet, so don't worry. It shouldn't be a big deal." said Uncle San.

"When you open the coffin, it's like it's nailed to the ground. No matter how you move it, it won't budge. This is called a road-blocking coffin. It's a kind of evil coffin. If you're not careful, something bad will happen." Luo Tianbao whispered to us.

"Could it be that Luo Jingfeng remembered something again?" I said.

" The biggest difference between the dead and the living is that the dead have a series of random thoughts, while the dead don't have so many messy thoughts. Once their last wishes are fulfilled, there will be no more complications."

"So Luo Jingfeng still has some unfulfilled wishes?" Chu Sen said.

"The problem is that everything that needs to be resolved has been resolved. What else can happen?" I said.

"That depends on the necromancer's experience and Luo Jingfeng's family's understanding of the child. However, Luo Jingfeng's family is completely unreliable in this matter, so the only one we can count on is Third Uncle."

Uncle San didn't seem to have a solution in mind. At this moment, a very miserable voice came over: "I died a miserable death. My skin was peeled off, my bones were torn apart, and even my eyeballs were dug out."
