Looking at my grandfather, whose attitude took a 180 degree turn, I was stunned for a moment. I looked at him blankly, only to see that he was nervous and beads of sweat were seeping out from his forehead as though he had seen a ghost in broad daylight.

When the woman saw her grandfather in this state, she was so anxious that tears were about to fall from her eyes, as if she was about to kneel down and beg for mercy.

"Master Ma, I beg of you to help me. My husband's entire body is filled with misery, and now that he has finally met with such calamity, I beg of you to help him off on his final journey!" At this moment, the woman kneeled down and grabbed her grandfather's sleeve. From her appearance, it seemed that her grandfather would not let her go if he didn't agree.

His grandfather's expression changed and he raised his hand. It looked like he was about to push her away, but he put his hand down again in midair and sighed, "Fine, this old man will do it!"

"Thank you, Master Ma." When the woman heard this, her tears turned into a smile. She quickly got up and opened her purse, took out a stack of money and stuffed it into her grandfather's hands without counting.

When I saw this, I was immediately amused. I thought that my grandpa was still more experienced. After he made a good person do it and earned money, he was truly sinister.

His grandfather took the money without even looking at it, then said in all seriousness: "From now on, move the car to a place with more people, the more people the better. In addition, prepare yellow paper money and sprinkle it on the car.

The woman was stunned for a moment. She clearly didn't understand her grandfather's intentions, but in the end, she still nodded and invited him to the funeral parlor.

The woman's husband's body was still in the side hall, in an ice coffin, and when I looked through the coffin, I saw that his face was ridiculously white, so red that his lips were caved in like a poor carpentry carving, and I couldn't help thinking, How outrageous this must be!

His grandfather walked around the ice coffin three times before finally standing in front of it and bowing three times. Finally, he put down the wooden box on his back.

"I'll trouble you to leave first." After doing all this, his grandfather said to the woman.

The woman gently nodded her head and took out a red packet and gave it to her grandfather. She saw that he waved his hand and said: "This is not the time yet. We will give it to you when you are satisfied."

Only after the woman had left did Grandpa open the wooden box and begin to prepare to work.

I had been curious about my grandfather's wooden box for a long time, and now that I finally had the opportunity to do so, I looked over my shoulder and could not help but feel a little displeased. The contents were extremely simple: a copper bowl covered in rust, half a white candle, a stick of shiny wolf hair, and a roll of rice paper.

"It's missing, the dead are big, kowtow three times," without turning his head, his grandfather said softly.

As I kowtowed, I looked at my grandfather, who took out a copper bowl and gently placed it on top of the ice coffin facing the dead man's face. Then he lit a candle and stood in the middle of the coffin, then he took out a piece of paper and opened it.

"The three souls return to heaven and the seven souls return to nature." When a person's lamp is extinguished, they will turn to dust due to fate. "

His grandfather held the pen in both hands and bowed three times to the west as he said this.

After the woman had left, grandpa opened the wooden chest. I looked inside and saw that it was extremely simple. A copper bowl was covered in rust, half of it was a white candle, a brush shaft was shiny with wolf hair, and then there was a roll of Xuan paper.

Grandfather took out a copper bowl and gently placed it on top of the ice coffin facing the dead man. Then he lit a candle and placed it in the bronze bowl, and then he took out a piece of paper to announce his arrival. In the end, he stretched his hand towards the bottom of the box, and with a 'kacha' sound, a wooden board jumped out from the bottom of the box to form a drawing board.

Although he knew that his grandfather often painted pictures of the dead, he had never had the chance to see it.

Only after seeing his grandfather's solemn expression did he lightly point the brush towards the copper bowl. He then retracted the brush and began to draw on the xuan paper.

When I looked at it, I was secretly amazed. If there wasn't a single bit of ink left in the copper bowl, how could I draw it?

I couldn't help but open my eyes wide, wondering how and where he had written it.

"The monitors can see clearly, the eyes of mortals can see through the universe."

The outline of both eyes appeared on the xuan paper. Looking at this point, I couldn't help but feel even more baffled, I saw that the ink was clear, thick and white, thick and heavy, heavy and heavy. The thin and elegant ink stained the Xuan paper without any hint of salt, as though it was a divine talisman struck.

"Lifespan is extended to the Fuze Pool, and one's eyebrows dropped to the ground as they roamed around in the mortal world."

Shua shua shua, it was an eyebrow!

"Judge the Lord's wealth and grace, receive the five spirits through the nose and the mountain."

"The cashier collects the five valleys and devours the four seas."

"I've heard the voice before, but I can tell that it is loyal and adulterous."

In just half a minute, a complete face pattern appeared on the xuan paper. However, the eye area didn't have an eyeball, making it look empty and hollow, which made me feel very strange. However, looking at my grandfather's impressive drawing, I couldn't disturb him, so I could only stand quietly by the side.

Moreover, I found it even more strange that the face on the xuan paper didn't seem to match the face lying inside the ice coffin; it was basically two different people, even this person's nose was a little crooked. Thinking about this, I couldn't help but worry for my grandfather, thinking that if that woman saw that my grandfather actually drew this person's nose crooked, I don't know what to think.

However, Grandfather didn't seem to notice this problem. He raised his head and wiped his sweat. His face was somewhat pale as he once again dipped his body into the empty copper bowl. Only then did he begin to carefully fill up the rest of the face.

However, right now, this face painting looked completely lifeless, and at a glance, he looked like a dead person. His expression was extremely lifeless, not to mention a painter with several decades of experience like Grandpa, even if it was me, I would be able to grab it with my eyes closed. How could it be worth one thousand and five hundred yuan?

And most importantly, this person's eyeballs had yet to be filled in, making them seem extremely empty.

His grandfather stood up again, his body actually trembling slightly. His face was as white as paper, and he was sweating profusely.

"There is a universe in the brush, a divine soul in the painting!"

His grandfather's body trembled and he began to chant very slowly. Every sentence he recited would be stuck in a copper bowl and he would draw an eyeball. After reciting those two lines, his entire body seemed to have completed it, and his grandfather almost fell to the ground.

I immediately went to support him, but my eyes were fixated on the painting, not daring to relax in the slightest.

As soon as the two eyeballs fell off, the candle flame in the copper bowl immediately floated up and became green. At the same time, a gust of cold wind blew in the side room, pulling the green flame to a length of half a foot as it creaked and pointed at the portrait, looking extremely strange.

At the same time, the originally lifeless portrait, as if it had met a super PS expert, dissolved into ink and revealed a man's face on the paper.

However, this man's nose was still crooked, and it didn't look like the one lying in the ice house.

Grandfather let out a long sigh of relief. After resting for a while, he pulled me to stand by the ice coffin quietly. After that, he bowed three times.

After the bow, the candle was extinguished with a "pu pu pu" sound, as if someone was deliberately blowing on it.

"Esteemed guest, please send us off!"

His grandfather's voice was a little hoarse. In the end, he dejectedly sat to the side.

"Alright, go invite the family in!" Grandpa sat in silence for about two minutes before he got up and slowly opened his mouth.

"Grandfather, did you succeed?" I turned to my grandfather as I ran down the hall.

"Success?" "Stinky brat, it's too early for you to be happy. It has just started …" His grandfather's expression became serious as he muttered to himself. The more he spoke, the more serious his expression became.
