The 15th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the Middle Yuan Festival.

Desirable: groundbreaking, burial, blessing.

Taboo: Marriage.

At nightfall, Lu Chen's family drove to the mountains southwest of the city.

There are few pedestrians on the road, and it is deserted.

A few paper money were beaten on the window of the car by the wind, Lu Chen looked over, and there was a family burning paper money in the corner of the intersection.

They placed the basin on the ground, lit long lamps and incense candles at their feet, and their faces were solemn.

On the night of the Zhongyuan Festival, it seems that the whole city is filled with a sad and desolate atmosphere.

"It turns out that this custom is still preserved here." Zhongli said.

Lu Chen nodded slightly.

"However, the city actually forbids the burning of open flames."

These festivals are carried out secretly, so there is very little to prepare, and there is no grandeur in the past.

Lu Chen retracted his gaze.

"What I'm saying, the flames don't burn vigorously at all." Walnut stared at the intersection.

Lu Chen felt that she had a desire to try, and she couldn't wait to hold a beautiful memorial ceremony for others.

On this ghostly night, the family travels to the barren mountains for the purpose of holding a funeral.

A funeral without the dead....

And this night is also a "ghostly spirit" in the true sense, Lu Chen has seen several ghosts on the street through the [souvenir mirror].

Those homeless lonely ghosts float in the streets and alleys at night, and the more remote they drive, the more ghosts there are....

Sure enough, this night was like a hundred ghosts walking at night.

"What do you think... Is that okay? Wendy looked at everyone suspiciously.

"You mean..." Lu Chen said, "About the mission of the funeral ceremony, or about everyone's dreams?" "

All of them."

Lu Chen silently thought that the former seemed to be complete, and as for the latter....

He couldn't help but look at the two members of the Hall of Death, this funeral ceremony without the deceased was made by Zhongli and Hu Tao.

He didn't know much either.

"Of course you can!" Walnut fiddled with the tools used for the funeral ceremony in the back seat, "Don't underestimate the parishioner!" This funeral will definitely be beautiful!

Wendy remained skeptical, "Even if the deceased didn't have it, there wasn't even a mourning target... I have never seen such a funeral..."

"Who says there is no memorial target?" Hu Tao looked at everyone, "Everyone here has relatives and friends who want to mourn, and there are objects who want to mourn, and today's funeral ceremony is actually held for everyone!" "

Huh?" Lu Chen and Ying looked at each other.

Miko, who was driving, also turned his head and looked over.

"For us... Funeral ceremony? Shadow frowned.

Walnut coughed dryly, "It's a funeral for your obsession."

Lu Chen was silent, unconsciously, and remembered the real appearance in the dream, as well as the fox palace, Sasayuri, Miyu Chiyo...

The visions in the dream gradually turned into their real appearance.

"Funeral rites are used to bid farewell to the deceased and place their mourning." Hu Tao sighed, "In Liyue Port, it is very dangerous to be an ocean-going sailor, they have been adrift overseas for many years, life and death are unpredictable, and it is easy to encounter various shipwrecks.

"The wind and waves have hit, not to mention the corpses, and even the wreckage of the ship cannot be found."

"Not to mention going into the earth for peace, the soul returned to his home..."

"We put the relics he left at home in the coffin, and after the cremation, the obsession dissipated, and the family could also seek peace of mind."

"It's called a burial." Plum Blossom Pupil looked at everyone, "Now you can't get rid of the obsession about the deceased, so let today's fire really bury the past."

Lu Chen saw the earthly lock in Zhong Li's hand.

"But..." he looked at the shadow again.

Shadow is also a little helpless.

"We didn't prepare for anything."

"It's okay, it's okay!" A smile appeared on Hu Tao's face again, "Some sailors who have been going out to sea for many years have no home or job, and they can't find anything, and I have also handled such funeral rites."

She patted the back of her, and a black coffin lay horizontally there.

"Relics, tablets, things you want to convey, or things you want to say, put them inside, and that's okay."

"Oh." Lu Chen nodded and stopped talking.

The car drove from the city road all the way to the remote countryside, the surrounding terrain was undulating, and the lights in the world gradually became scarce.

The location chosen by Zhongli and Hu Tao was quite elegant in feng shui, it was a flat land on a gentle slope, and after getting off the car, Lu Chen helped Hu Tao lift the coffin and climbed this gentle slope.

Looking at the coastal city in the distance, the front water and the mountains behind the mountains can be regarded as a place of pillow mountains and water.

"Is it safe here?" Wendy looked around, and the fire here might not be spotted.

"Ann la!" Hu Tao was unimpressed, "Who is coming from the wilderness." "

Ranger..." Lu Chen pouted, this is not a presumptuous slope, the forest is all guarded.

"When we were discovered, we ran away with the coffin on our backs! Change places! Hu Tao said as he took out the artifacts used for the funeral ceremony.

Lu Chen looked around, the trees on this side were sparse, blown by the wind, the shadows of black branches opened their teeth and danced their claws, and the atmosphere was a little oozing.

On the night of the Zhongyuan Festival, I saw a few weirdos running around with coffins on their backs in this kind of place, and whoever saw them would be scared to pee....

He found that since the arrival of Walnut, drilling into the forest in the middle of the night was a lot of this kind of thing.

There are also many things in Hades.

sub-time to drop.

After Walnut placed the utensils, a dazzling cluster of flames suddenly appeared from the tip of her spear.

The lid of the coffin was open, and the inside was empty, but everyone had no idea of putting a tablet inside.

Wendy walked over first, and in his hand, a feather condensed from the wind element loomed.

The feathers fluttered gently in the air with the wind, and finally fell in the direction of the coffin.

"There's really not much to say." Wendy smiled and scratched her hair, "I've seen the real sky for you, the poems and songs outside the cage, so... You probably don't have any regrets..." The

silent Miko stepped forward, and she gently placed a petal inside the coffin.

Lu Chen saw that it was a cherry blossom petal.

Then, she turned her head and looked at Lu Chen and Ying and laughed.

"I don't have anything to say, I just hope I can really get a good night's sleep tonight."

There was a thick concern in Ying's eyes, and Lu Chen was also worried about the health of the godson, but when the words came out of his mouth, it turned into ridicule.

"After today, rest assured to sleep in your beauty sleep."

The Son of God gave him a blank look.

When it was Zhongli's turn, he was silent and placed the earthly lock in the coffin.

Lu Chen noticed that the lock was unlocked.

For thousands of years, with the wisdom and ability of the Rock King Emperor, how could he not unlock a small stone lock.

It turned out that it was he who did not want to untie it at all.

Noticing Lu Chen's gaze, Zhong Li revealed a faint smile.

"You're also curious about what's inside the stone lock, right?"

Lu Chen was indeed curious, but he shook his head.

Zhong Li smiled even better, "It's okay, I can tell you."

Lu Chen looked at him curiously, but saw Zhong Li slowly said: "There is nothing inside, and there is nothing in the earthly lock."

"So that's the case..." Lu Chen didn't know what to say.

"Yin and yang are orderly, fate is impermanent

..." "With this butterfly fire, show the way for Ru..." The

warm flame scattered in the shape of a butterfly, and the hair of the walnut swayed in the wind.

The flame burns stronger and stronger.

Finally, Lu Chen and Ying stepped forward together.

What the shadow left behind was a purple gentian flower, and Lu Chen took out the source of everything from the system, the souvenir mirror.

Looking at the small mirror that had already been tried to destroy, Walnut's eyes widened.

"Are you sure?"

"OK."

Lu Chen nodded, and the souvenir mirror was thrown into the flames by him without hesitation.

The flames are better.

A click is the sound of a lens shattering.

After that night, everyone never had that nightmare again.
