Folk customs begin with the entire funeral procession

Chapter 105 Xiang Shang: You're cultivating immortality without me?!

On Thursday night, Xiang Shang didn't sleep a wink. He stayed by Li Zi's side until she finally couldn't stay awake any longer and fell asleep.

At seven o'clock in the morning, Xiang Shang quietly left the ward and made a phone call to Chen Miao in the corridor.

But no one answered.

Just as Xiang Shang was about to continue fighting, Chen Miao's voice came over.

It didn't come from the phone.

Xiang Shang looked up and saw Chen Miao carrying a shoulder bag and a large travel bag in her hand.

He rushed forward to meet him.

"Sanshui, two of the peach charms are broken!"

As he spoke, he took out the two broken peach charms from before.

Chen Miao saw the second peach charm that had been broken into six pieces, nodded, and said nothing.

How is Gigi Lai?

"It's alright, just a little worried."

Can I be discharged from the hospital?

Xiang Shang was taken aback when he heard Chen Miao ask this question.

"What happened? Why are you being discharged?"

"It's not convenient at the hospital, so I found a hotel. We'll stay there for a day, and if all goes well, the matter can be resolved today."

Hearing Chen Miao say this, Xiang Shang felt relieved and immediately nodded.

It took an hour to process the discharge procedures. After that, Chen Miao drove to a hotel he had found through the app.

The hotel was so-so, but it had one advantage: it was close to the police station.

In other words, it's close to the Administration Bureau!
Chen Miao needs to prepare for both possibilities; who knows if the person behind this will come back after the current problem is solved.

It's close by, so it's easy to call for backup.

Chen Miao booked a suite, which included a living room with a mahjong table, and a bedroom with two single beds.

Once inside the room, Chen Miao began taking things out of his travel bag.

Xiang Shang knew that it might be the thing that would save them, so he stared at it intently.

Then, he was dumbfounded.

Chen Miao actually took out three memorial tablets from the bag!
"Sanshui, are you preparing for our funeral?"

Chen Miao listened to Xiang Shangxin's words and looked helpless.

But you can't blame him. Anyone who encountered this situation and then saw him take out the memorial tablet would probably think about preparing for the funeral.

Ignoring Xiang Shang, Chen Miao placed the memorial tablet on the mahjong table, then took out the peach wood sword blank from his bag, and put the bag, which clearly still contained something, aside.

Chen Miao hadn't fully grasped the crafting method for the Seven Star Peach Wood Sword, so he couldn't make it this time, which was a bit of a pity.

After doing all this, Chen Miao stopped Xiang Shang, who wanted to go and see the memorial tablet.

"I'll give it to you later, don't go over there now."

The reason for not letting Xiang Shang get close was the fear that if he did, he would be directly covered by the power of the scripture, causing that person to feel that someone had disappeared and thus make a premature move, disrupting the plan.

"Something might happen in a moment, so don't panic. Just do as I say, okay?"

Chen Miao looked at Xiang Shang and Li Zi.

Upon hearing this, Gigi Lai looked at Xiang Shang, somewhat at a loss.

Xiang Shang nodded without hesitation and said, "I'll do whatever you say."

"okay."

Chen Miao immediately said, "I think you've all had some suspicions these past two days. I won't hide it from you; you've encountered something evil."

Chen Miao thought about it and decided that he shouldn't be the riddle teller anymore. He should just tell them directly what they would see. Otherwise, if they were really unprepared, something bad might happen.

As soon as Chen Miao finished speaking, Gigi Lai suddenly grabbed Xiang Shang's arm tightly.

Xiang Shang felt a pang of panic.

Speculation aside, it was still hard for them to accept that they had actually encountered something evil.

"Sanshui, is this... really true?"

"Do ghosts really exist in this world?" Chen Miao nodded.

"It's true. Not only do ghosts exist in this world, but there are also people who control ghosts to do evil. You just happened to encounter such a thing this time."

"Don't be afraid. There is always an antidote within a hundred paces of a poisonous snake. Where there are ghosts, there are ways to deal with them."

"The person who awakened Gigi Lai before was such a being, and I... can barely be considered one as well."

Seeing the surprised looks on their faces, Chen Miao smiled.

"You might not believe me if I tell you this."

Chen Miao's hand swept across the book, and in the blink of an eye, a talisman appeared in his hand.

Then, to Xiang Shang's wide-eyed surprise, he put the talisman back into the book.

Xiang Shang finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"Sanshui, was that a hidden space or a secret storage space just now?"

"You're cultivating immortality without me?!"

Xiang Shang's voice was quite mournful.

Chen Miao was speechless.

"It's not about cultivating immortality, it's just some techniques to deal with ghosts and spirits."

“If you want to learn, I can teach you after this, but…”

Chen Miao frowned; there was something he wasn't sure about.

That is, ever since he came into contact with this kind of thing, the number of times he has encountered paranormal events has gradually increased.

Perhaps, as more and more methods are available in this area, we can naturally discover more.

Perhaps this is some kind of mysterious curse that comes with entering this industry?
Chen Miao was unsure, so he hesitated about whether to let Xiang Shang come into contact with these things.

But when he saw Xiang Shang's eyes, he thought of Shi Manman; their eyes were the same.

It's possible that it can't be stopped.

Even if Chen Miao didn't teach him, given Xiang Shang's stubbornness, he might still go looking for extraordinary people on his own.

If you encounter someone with ill intentions, who knows what might happen?

"Let's wait until this is over. Then come to my place and I'll teach you."

"it is good!"

Xiang Shang smiled, and seemed less afraid now.

With a brother who cultivates immortality like this by my side, what is there to be afraid of?
That's right, Xiang Shang was convinced that Chen Miao was cultivating immortality, and it didn't matter even if Chen Miao didn't admit it!
After Chen Miao realized that the two understood what they were about to face, he began to make the necessary arrangements.

After the two of them had memorized it clearly, Chen Miao picked up the two memorial tablets.

Xiang Shang and Gigi Lai each pulled up a chair and sat in two different places.

Chen Miao walked over and handed the memorial tablet to the two of them.

Once the soul-suppressing field formed by the scriptures on the memorial tablet enveloped the two of them, it meant that things were about to begin.

Chen Miao went and drew all the curtains in the room. The sunlight was strong, and even through the curtains, the room was dimly lit.

After doing all that, Chen Miao went to the table near the door where the kettle and other items were placed, and huddled in the corner, sitting down in a chair.

He then opened the book again and glanced at it. After confirming that everything was proceeding as planned, he put the book away and began to close his eyes and mentally rehearse everything that would happen next.

Time passes slowly.

Xiang Shang and Gigi Lai were initially a little nervous, but after a full hour had passed without anything happening, Xiang Shang asked Chen Miao if he could speak.

After receiving an affirmative answer, the two began to whisper to each other from a distance of three or four meters to relieve their nervousness.

When the time reached 11:30 a.m.

A sudden knock on the door startled Xiang Shang and his companion.

The two breathed a sigh of relief after hearing the delivery person's voice from outside.

What they didn't notice was that Chen Miao's eyes, when he opened them, held a sharp edge.

coming.
