Chapter 166 Entering the Village
Tao Mengyan raised her eyebrows: "You really get what you ask for, how thoughtful." She didn't take the pale hands that didn't look like living people seriously at all and reached out to take them. After taking them, the hand retracted back into the sarcophagus.
But after taking the suona, Tao Mengyan was confused again: "But where is the score? Where is the score?"
Xi Yueyao took a look and pointed to the depression with the suona symbol on the top of the stone tablet and said, "Is it here?"
Tao Mengyan suddenly realized and took out her phone and put it on. The picture immediately appeared on the phone. Seeing this, she couldn't help but complain: "Why does it look so much like a QR code scan, and it also comes with a phone holder."
Hearing her say that, Paimon took a look and found that he really couldn't help laughing: "It really is quite similar."
Tao Mengyan was about to play when Xun Yuanfeng raised his hand to stop her: "How can we let you do something like playing? There are professionals here."
Xun Yuanfeng looked at Wendy. Wendy, who was standing aside, had not expected that she, who had been watching the show, would actually have the opportunity to perform herself. However, seeing that several ladies had surrendered their eyes to him, he could not refuse and had to take over.
A so-called funeral song was played according to the music score on the phone. When the song was over, the ghost in the sarcophagus stretched out his hand again, but this time he gave a piece of clothing, and it was made of paper.
After seeing this, Tao Mengyan said with a sigh, "You really respect your job and your responsibilities."
After playing a piece of music, Wendy stuck out her tongue and said, "This piece of music is the worst I have ever played. If everyone in Mondstadt hears it, I will have to change my title of the most popular bard."
Xun Yuanfeng suppressed his laughter and consoled him, "Who are you? You are the greatest bard."
Tao Mengyan didn't notice this little episode, and looked at the clothes happily: "Very good, now I have the sacrificial clothes, then..."
The old man in the ritual robes blinked and said angrily: "Do you think I'm a doll? You little girls from outside don't know how to respect your elders!"
Xi Yueyao burned a small flag with the word "Fu" on it for him. She said to him in a gentle voice, "Old man, please do me one more favor. I will burn offerings for you later. And I am not an outsider. I also lived in this village when I was a child. My family name is Xi."
"Xi? Are you the girl from the Xi family? Hehe, it's fate. Just as I predicted, you are back, hehe..." Hearing what Xi Yueyao said, the old man was not as resistant as before and waved a flag.
When Tao Mengyan heard the old man say this to Xi Yueyao, her expression changed: "Why does that sentence sound so familiar to me? Didn't you say the same thing to me before? You charlatans don't even change your words?"
The old man immediately retorted: "I'm not a charlatan! The predictions I made are all true, and you guys have returned according to my predictions!"
Tao Mengyan waved her hands irritably: "Okay, okay, as long as you are happy. You always say the same thing, without any new ideas."
“You! You!”
Paimon exclaimed, "Wow, she's amazing and good at speaking."
Then everyone returned to the funeral hall and placed the items according to the requirements of the tombstone. The space where the photo was placed on the urn was changed to Xi Yueyao's head portrait. When the urn was broken open, there was a small flag with the word "葬" written on it.
Xi Yueyao held the flag and looked at the portrait on the urn with some confusion: "Why is there my photo on it?"
Tao Mengyan thought it was nothing: "This village is often like this. The old man just said that you would come back. These should be prepared for you. With you as the protagonist, of course they have to set up this kind of thing to make you believe that you are the destined one. The situation was almost the same when I came here last time."
Xi Yueyao nodded thoughtfully.
Everyone retreated to the cemetery of foreigners. Xi Yueyao held the spirit flag and said, "I am Xi Yueyao from the Xi family in this village. I came back to the village to look for Xiao Chi who is from the same village. There must be many of our ancestors sleeping here. I am sorry to bother you. Please forgive me and let me into the village." Then he waved the flag, and the gray mist in the sight disappeared. Instead, the old man who was outside came to the altar here, eating a few breads left by the ghost.
"You didn't even bother to offer me such delicious food. Instead, you made me condescend to go to such a lowly place as the cemetery of foreigners to find food." The old man complained as he ate.
Xi Yueyao felt unhappy when she heard him slander her: "We are all from the same village. It's not appropriate for you to say that this place is lowly, right?"
"Only outsiders who can't enter the ancestral tombs in the village will be buried here. What is my identity? I am a great witch. I am the gossip of the funeral lord! Sitting here is simply dirtying my clothes!" His tone was condescending, and it was obvious that he looked down on those outsiders. No matter what contributions they have made to this village, outsiders are outsiders.
"Great Witch..." Xi Yueyao looked at him in astonishment: "What... You are the village chief? It was you who caused us to have those problems back then!" Xi Yueyao had no reaction when she heard this title before, because she had not been in contact with this village for a long time. She just felt that the title was a little familiar, but just now because of her anger towards him, she associated it with the title of the Great Witch, and then she remembered who he was.
"You mentioned the kid from the Xiao family just now, right? My predictions are always right. The four of you are back, and you will complete the repair of the spirit tower! I will be the greatest wizard, and I will be the chief Yin Luohan under the seat of Zang Zun! Go, I allow you to enter the village to complete the mission..." Then he laughed and disappeared.
Tao Mengyan looked angrily at the place where he disappeared: "If you say something like that, don't run away if you have the guts!"
Paimon also shared the same hatred: "Yeah, don't run if you have the guts! What he said was so rude! Ahhhh, I'm so angry!"
Wendy: "Don't be angry, little Paimon. He will definitely show up again later."
Xun Yuanfeng also comforted him: "He won't go anywhere. He will appear again later. Then we will make him pay for what he said."
Hearing him say this, Tao Mengyan and Xi Yueyao's expressions eased a little. After they calmed down, they looked around and found that there was a path next to the cemetery. Behind the path, there was a simple bridge made of wooden planks.
