The strongest mortician

Xiao Tan was arrested.

Xiao Xi lost all his strength and cried loudly on the ground.He was crying hoarsely, out of breath, like a child who lost the whole world.He beat the ground hard, and his hands were scratched by the rough stones and weeds on the ground. He didn't feel the pain, and he tortured himself fiercely.It was his cowardice and incompetence that caused his brother to be taken away.

Just now, people from the Beast Sect discovered them.

Facing the devil's smiling eyes, Xiao Xi was too scared to move.In my memory, this man who looks like Mr. Pianpian smiled so gently, opened his clam shell cruelly, cut the soft clam meat inside the shell with a knife, or scalded him with a hot iron .Stuffing the blazing fire beads and ice beads that he couldn't swallow into his clam meat at the same time, saying that he wanted to see him produce water and fire pearls.Then make a cup of spiritual tea, and watch him writhe in pain as he is hit by the extreme force of the ice and fire two heavens with a smile.

The one he likes most is his elder brother.

He likes to lock his elder brother in a narrow water cage made of expensive crystal, he likes the pearls formed by his elder brother's tears dripping, he likes to pull out the beautiful scales on his elder brother's tail, he likes to let his elder brother sing his favorite music over and over again, He was not allowed to stop until the blood stuck in his throat.

He was just a clam spirit who was caught at the bottom of the sea with his elder brother. The devil didn't catch him now because he lost interest in him. He escaped because of this, but Xiao Xi wasn't happy about it at all.The devil looked at his brother with the same strong interest in his eyes.Because, brother, he is the only one left in the world, the last pure blood of the mermaid race.

In the eyes of that devil, it is a rare and rare toy, and he will never let his brother go easily.

As a mermaid family, singing to seduce people is their racial talent.Therefore, the requiem song sung by Xiao Tan will have a demagogic appeal.Therefore, he has a natural and superb understanding of the music, and can adapt the tune of the Requiem to achieve the purpose of controlling the contracted beast.

Brothers Xiao Tan and Xiao Xi were imprisoned in the Beast Master Sect for the devil's entertainment.Maybe it was because he was young, or they were unlucky to be caught in the same sea area. The merman took good care of the little clam spirit.He will comfort him gently when he is crying in pain, and will secretly leave food for him who makes mistakes and is hungry.The little clam spirit will also learn from the way of the merman, giving him warmth when he can't bear it.They sympathize with each other and lick each other's wounds when they are hurt. They are not of the same race, but they are better than brothers.

There are many contracted beasts in the sect, which is a disciple of the Beast Controlling Sect. After Xiao Tan discovered that he could control the contracted beasts through singing, he did not show it. He secretly accumulated strength, and finally took advantage of the day when the devil was out of the sect.The singing sounded, and the contracted beasts in the Beast Master Sect were bewitched by the singing and rioted, attacking their masters.Taking advantage of the chaos, the two brothers escaped from the Beast Sect with scars all over their bodies.

Their aliases are Xiao Tan and Xiao Xi.Low-key joined the most unobtrusive embalmer team at that time.Everything was calm, and the two brothers also went from trembling at the beginning to relaxing and regaining their lost freedom.They hid their abilities, mixed among mortals, and clumsily learned to live without magic and live with their hands like humans.Although life was hard, those days were the most unforgettable for Xiao Xi.

Until, they met the boy named Shen Shen.Xiao Xi likes his aura, likes his integrity and unyielding, and affectionately calls him "Brother Master", and his brother also likes him very much.

I like him more and more every day.

Then, his brother changed, and he began to care, whether he could help Shen Shen, walk side by side with him, and be remembered in his heart.

When he realized that there was another person he cared about by Shen Shen's side, he established the Mortuary School without hesitation.You must prove yourself with the identity of the same undertaker.

Everything after that deviated from the original track and became out of control.

Shen Shen... Shen Shen...

Xiao Xi wiped away his tears, and his fragile eyes were replaced by firm and bright eyes.He seemed to have made up his mind.Turning back to the direction of the blue sky, relying on his own strength is far from enough, he needs help, he doesn't know where Shen Shen has gone, when people left he didn't see him off, and he didn't bother to inquire.

He has to admit that Shen Shen is an amazing and talented mortician, his methods are unheard of, if it were him, maybe he could save his brother.First go back to Qingkong to see if you can find out Shen Shen's whereabouts from Hong Sanniang.

Shen Shen and his group, who were missed by Xiao Xi, had already headed towards the location of Tuofeng Village. According to the information obtained by Bai San after they came out, they searched along the route of the fragmented map of Tuofeng Village that they had acquired for three days.A dilapidated small village appeared in front of the group of people.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is dilapidated, and it can even be said to be light.Before entering the village entrance, you can feel the poverty of the village. The cultivated land around the village is uncultivated and full of barren weeds.At the entrance of the village is a huge old pagoda tree withered and dead, with knotted branches and dry bark.A row of crows sat on the top of a dead tree, their cries piercing and ominous.There is a well under the tree, the water in the well has already dried up, and it is dark and bottomless.

A stone tablet stands at the position facing the entrance of the village. The base of the stone tablet is carved.There was a lot of dust on the stele, and when it was brushed away, the three characters "Tuofeng Village" on the stele were clearly revealed.They have come to the right place.

A few people entered the village. The structure of the village was a bit weird. There was a mixture of old brick and tile houses and newly built thatched houses in recent years.There were very few pedestrians on the street, each house was closed, and the bolder ones kept the door open, peeping outsiders from the crack of the door.Even Bai Si, who was born with a smiling face and full of affinity, wanted to ask the passing villagers, but he was far away.

Seeing that several people were looking at him, Bai Qiong hurriedly said: "Don't look at me, this... I don't know what's going on." He is just a half-hearted person, collecting some calligraphy and painting is purely a personal hobby, and he wants to talk about it in depth. Research, that is absolutely out of the question.The mortuary box Shen Shen was carrying on his back was knocked lightly, he opened the door of the box on his back, and a shrunken Yanli came out.

"Tuofeng Village is here?" Xiao Yanli said with a serious face, "Tuofeng Village has developed commerce, there are many merchants, and the cars, horses and pedestrians are like flowing water. It is very lively. How can it become so quiet today?"

After Yan Li solved the crisis of living corpses in the ebony coffin, he took the initiative to ask to enter the coffin box to rest.He didn't know what happened in the last room. Jianguan Yanli was born in a scholarly family, well-read poetry and books, and his family has a deep connection.If he was here, he would have discovered the abnormality of the paper a long time ago, so it was not the turn of Bai Qiong to come out to study it.

Camelback paper was well-known in the Daye Dynasty 300 years ago. Aristocratic families, scholars and literati all took pride in using hump paper.Not only did Yan Li use it, he even went to Tuofeng Village to buy it himself.He came to Hump Village 300 years ago.

This situation is completely incompatible with the prosperous scene in Yanli's mouth.

The old mansion in the village fell into disrepair for a long time, the tiles fell on the ground and broke, and it leaked in rainy days. No one repaired it and it was dilapidated.The old house is majestic and majestic, which shows the style of the past.Shen Shen whispered like a villain standing on his shoulders, explaining the devastating blow to Camelback Village more than 100 years ago.Both Yan Li and Bai Yi died at the same time more than 300 years ago, more than 100 years before the accident in Tuofeng Village. When they lived, Tuofeng Village was still in its heyday.

After hearing this, Yan Li was silent for a while, and said, "That's really a pity."

He is a literati, and he feels sorry for the lost papermaking craftsmanship in Tuofeng Village.Yan Li looked up, and everything around him was not familiar to him, and there was a lot of traffic.The desolation makes people unable to imagine the grand scene a hundred years ago.

Under Yanli's guidance, the few people came to the Penglai Inn, which had the largest number of tourists in the village and was known as the unrivaled Penglai Inn.The Penglai Inn has three floors, two mighty stone lions at the entrance on the first floor, red lacquered pillars, and exquisitely carved door rails.A row of large celadon flower pots lined up on both sides of the door, planted with lucky trees.The lucky tree has long since withered without being attended to, and the soil in the flowerpots has dried up and cracked.The blue and white porcelain basin was covered with a thick layer of dust.

Entering the hall, the hall is empty, and there are no guests who are eating or staying in the hotel.The shop waiter lazily leaned against the pillar, and didn't greet the guests when they came, but yawned to himself, obviously not doing anything, but looking extremely tired and lazy.Fortunately, the inn was still open after all, so a few people would not have found a place after traveling thousands of miles, but slept on the streets.

I booked a few rooms and tidied them up.Several people sat at a table and ordered some dishes.While waiting for the food to be served, the waiter also turned a blind eye to the only customer in their shop, did not say that the tea was not served, and even ignored it when he shouted.There is no one in charge in the store, and there is only a small second in the huge inn.It was really bleak.

Bai Sitian has a smiling face, which looks good.Receiving the elder's signal, Bai Si put on a simple and honest smile on his face, holding a large silver ingot in his hand, and smiled warmly: "Hey, little brother."

The waiter saw Yinzi's eyelids raised.The body leaning lazily against the door straightened up.

Bai Si took out a bulging money bag from his arms.Even lightly placed on the table, it makes a low sound.

"My honored guest, do you need anything?" Xiao Er smiled and stared at the silver ingot on the table.Bai Si stuffed the silver ingot to Xiao Er clearly.Xiao Er accepted the money with a smile, and left in no hurry.It's not easy, I finally met Fat Sheep.He has been working in this Penglai Inn for more than ten years, and he knows in his heart that this seemingly magnificent inn is just an empty shelf, and there are very few guests who come and go to the inn throughout the year.The guests who came were either villagers or small businessmen, and they were very shabby, not to mention rewards, and the price of staying in the hotel was still cut.

Therefore, Xiao Er was not very enthusiastic when he saw the busy Shen Shen and the others. In fact, there were very few opportunities to make money, so there was no need.

"We are new to Guibao, and we are not familiar with the local customs." Bai Si rolled his eyes. "During this journey, the villagers closed their doors and houses on the road, and pedestrians avoided snakes and scorpions. Why is this?"

"This..." The joy on Xiaoer's face subsided a little, he hesitated, and didn't reply immediately.Bai Si took out a silver ingot from the money bag again.Xiao Er accepted the money, looked around, and after confirming that there was no one around, lowered his voice.

"Guests, I don't know. After a battle in Tuofeng Village 100 years ago, the whole village was closed for 50 years. In the battle 100 years ago, some people sneaked into the merchant team and launched a surprise attack on us on the eve of the transaction. Because the caravan was a regular customer, we did not defend ourselves and suffered heavy casualties. This incident directly hit our Tuofeng Village, and also made the people in the village be wary of outsiders. We are also in the past ten years, and life in the village has been really difficult Some need to go out to exchange for the needed supplies, and then open to the public at a fixed time, you came at the right time."

"I see." Bai Si nodded.

"More than that, it's just a battle, my Tuofeng Village wouldn't be here." Xiaoer sighed. "Originally, people in the village thought that if we closed the village for a few years to cultivate and live, and then strengthened the vigilance, even if someone was jealous of us and imitated the painting paper we produced, they would be just clowns. The painting paper in Tuofeng Village has complicated processes and abundant materials. The production time and paper skills are indispensable, and not everyone can simply imitate it.”

Xiao Er was extremely confident when he said this.Back then, Tuofeng Village had this strength.

"However, after that battle, strange things happened..."

"A strange disease appeared in the village, and the doctors couldn't understand it. In the village, people began to die one after another."
