Chapter 322: Carrying the Coffin and Playing Joyful Music

After that.

Zhu Dachang became the temple keeper of this Longevity Peach Temple.

Staying underground where there was no light, spending his days with paper people, seeing only coffins and twisted monsters, his body and consciousness gradually started to develop in a perverted direction unconsciously...

Wu Xian pointed to the hourglass-like monster in the center of the pool and asked: "Then, what about that thing?"

Zhu Dachang puffed out his chest: "That is the Longevity Peach Furnace, which I am responsible for guarding, a great creation object for recreating reincarnation!"

Wei Qinglan frowned: "This thing, great merit?"

"There are no funerals in this world, and people cannot enter reincarnation after death; if they stay in the human world for too long, they will become ruthless ghosts, so the Three Immortals forged the Longevity Peach Furnace to refine the walking corpses that are about to become ruthless ghosts into longevity peaches, allowing reincarnation to continue; how is that not great merit?"

When saying this.

Zhu Dachang's eyes were shining; clearly, he believed this from the bottom of his heart.

But these words.

As long as one is not a fool, no one would believe them.

Although Zhu Dachang is a temple keeper, even if he is not lying, what he knows is only a small part of the facts.

Then Wu Xian asked again: "Do you know where there is a mourning hall?"

Zhu Dachang asked back in confusion: "What is a mourning hall?"

This world has been alienated for a long time, so long that people of Zhu Dachang's age no longer know what a mourning hall is.

Wu Xian explained helplessly: "It is the place where funerals are held."

"Funerals... oh, let me think." Zhu Dachang realized, "Every day at noon I send away a batch of longevity peaches, and those longevity peaches are eventually sent to the Three Immortals Hall; the Three Immortals masters will enjoy the longevity peaches every midnight, and I heard that some dignitaries in the Undying City will also hold funerals there after they die."

Su Xuan was stunned: "Isn't it said that holding funerals is prohibited?"

"Can that be the same?"

Zhu Dachang waved his hand.

"You came down from above, you should know that few big figures are driven to the No-Funeral Village; don't those big figures get old?"

"They are also people, they will also get sick, they will also face birth, old age, sickness, and death, but they have the protection of the Three Immortals and can obtain the opportunity to be buried, without having to be exposed in the wilderness like those mud-legged people; the location of the funeral is in the Three Immortals Hall."

The group was silent for a moment.

This information indeed matched what was heard and seen in the No-Funeral Village; it was very clear why Old Lady He was so persistent about returning to the He family, because she knew she could only truly rest in peace in the He family.

Zhu Dachang saw the expressions of the group, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared, excitedly raising his head to ask: "You are going to the hall, right? Then you can't kill me even more; the team that comes to pick up the longevity peaches at noon will only send the coffins back if they see me; if you kill me, you won't be able to reach the hall!"

Unfortunately.

Zhu Dachang was right; this guy couldn't die for the time being.

Now that everything that should be asked had been asked, only the last question remained.

Wei Hengbo grabbed Zhu Dachang's collar and lifted him up: "Why did you attack my sister this morning?"

Zhu Dachang, who discovered he couldn't die, had the look of a dead pig not afraid of boiling water: "I am the temple keeper of the Longevity Peach Temple; do I need any reason to take action against people who trespass into the holy land?"

"Do I need a reason to beat you!"

Bang! Wu Xian punched Zhu Dachang in the eye socket, rode on him and gave him a beating, which even shocked Wei Hengbo; now that they were talking about his sister, why was Wu Xian even more excited than him? After being beaten, Zhu Dachang couldn't hold it together anymore.

He secretly glanced at the three ladies in the team, and said with snot and tears: "Women... I just wanted a woman; I have been here for ten years!"

"Ten years, do you know how I spent these ten years?"

"I can only hug those paper people every night; what is wrong with me wanting to keep her when a woman finally came?"

Wow! Wei Hengbo was instantly furious.

The group hurriedly went up to hold him down, otherwise this sister-con would have torn Zhu Dachang alive.

Next. Wu Xian returned the eye-dotting brush to Zhu Dachang.

Zhu Dachang controlled the remaining paper people to carry all the coffins and urns that Wu Xian and the others had placed under the well, which saved Wu Xian and the others some effort.

According to Zhu Dachang.

Paper people are divided into three levels according to their production quality.

The first level is simple paper people, which have no skeleton inside, are particularly light, weak against the wind, and will be damaged with a slight bump.

Higher-level paper people have bamboo skeletons inside, and the paper is pasted on bit by bit with rice paste, which is not only more beautiful but also sturdier.

The best paper people not only have skeletons but also have straw filling inside; just the weight is much higher than low-level paper people, and only this kind of paper person can complete the heavy work of carrying coffins.

The group took his words to heart.

This way, when they choose 'burial' paper people, they will try to choose higher-level ones; such paper people might be able to bring them additional ability bonuses.

After the coffins were placed.

Wu Xian snatched Zhu Dachang's eye-dotting brush away.

"Next we will lie in the coffins and wait for people to come and carry us away; if you have any unusual movements during this process..."

Jian Lingyu snapped her fingers: "Just one whistle, and you will die!"

Zhu Dachang nodded like a garlic-pounding machine, guaranteeing as if he were begging his grandfather and grandmother, and only then did the group let him go and enter the coffins one by one to lie down, waiting for noon to gradually approach...

In the circular open space.

Eight coffins and one urn were placed.

Zhu Dachang put on his gorgeous robe again, dressed up like a human, and waited for the arrival of the coffin-carrying team with a solemn and respectful face.

Soon.

The sound of gongs and drums came from underground.

Because the space here was enclosed, the sound was much louder than on the ground.

A group of people dressed in red and green, looking very festive, carried wooden frames to the center of this open space, and the man in the lead holding a suona greeted Zhu Dachang enthusiastically.

"Temple Keeper Zhu, there are quite a few fruits today; the immortals will be happy."

"The dishes today are not bad, there are three dishes, all of which you like to eat..."

Zhu Dachang waved his hand impatiently: "Put the dishes down, just take away yesterday's lunch box; when will you bring me a woman..."

The suona man looked embarrassed: "You also know that this is a secret, and outsiders cannot be allowed in."

"Can't you just not let her go out again... forget it, get lost quickly!"

Zhu Dachang waved his hand and turned around; his attitude was because he didn't want the other party to see the injuries on his face from being beaten, but in the other party's eyes, this was an arrogant performance of looking down on him.

The suona man spat.

"This stupid thing will die in his crotch sooner or later."

He turned around and saw that all the coffins had been loaded.

So he roared.

"Lift the coffins!"

Wu Xian and the others in the coffins instantly felt the coffins being lifted, and the sound of gongs and drums rang out around them again.

At that time on the Three Immortals Bridge, the funeral music played was mournful.

But now that the coffins were being carried, the music played was the joyful music of a wedding.

But no matter how the people in the coffins listened, they could only hear a strange taste in this joyful music...
