“Ji Ruo, who is this?”

Liang Shixian asked hesitantly.

Gu Shaoxuan’s dressing was really too…Who would carry a coffin to school early in the morning!

Although this school was a little shabby…

Liang Shixian looked at the low fence around the school and the half-open classroom. He thought for a moment and asked in a low voice, “Jiruo, is this a special custom here?”

Ji Ruo was a little confused,”What kind of custom requires a coffin?

“For example, mourning and whatnot…”

Even with Ji Ruo’s brain, he couldn’t react in time.

You call this keeping filial piety when you carry the corpses of your ancestors with you? This was too filial!

Ji Ruo looked at Liang Shixian in a daze.”

Liang Shixian scratched his head. After he finished speaking, he also felt that something was wrong.

If it was really a local custom, these children shouldn’t be so afraid.

The conversation between the two was not loud, but Gu Shaoxuan was not an ordinary person. He heard everything they said.

He smiled and said, “This friend is actually right. I’m indeed in mourning…” By the way, do you need to handle the funeral service? It was best to handle this kind of thing while he was alive. After all, no one knew who would come first tomorrow or an accident, right?

If they made an appointment in advance, they wouldn’t be buried in a foreign land.

Let me tell you, on the border of Great Xia, my family’s funeral business is definitely the best. No funeral shop can compare to my family!

To be honest, Ji Ruo and I are sworn brothers. If you are Ji Ruo’s friends, then you are my friends. If you book now, I can give you a 40% discount and an extra coffin…By the way, friend, do you prefer burial or cremation?”

The so-called ‘no other shop can compare to it’ probably meant that there was only one shop on the entire border…He had never heard of a funeral service at the border!

Liang Shixian stayed up all night to do the lesson, so he was not in a good state of mind. When he heard this, he subconsciously replied,” If I could choose, I’d still like to be sanctified, thank you…”

“Hey! What’s so good about sanctification? It’s a tradition of our Great Xia since ancient times. Sanctification is really against…”

Before Gu Shaoxuan could finish, he was interrupted by Ji Ruo. The young man said angrily, “To be honest, I didn’t agree to become sworn brothers with you yesterday!”

Ji Ruo pulled Gu Shaoxuan aside and asked in a low voice,”What are you doing here?”

Although she wasn’t very familiar with Gu Shaoxuan, based on Ji Ruo’s current understanding of him, this funeral stall owner named Gu Shaoxuan might have some problems with his brain.

Gu Shaoxuan could not help but complain, “What do you mean by joining in the fun? I really want to help you teach your child!

Ji Ruo said patiently,” You see, we don’t lack teachers anymore. We have a substitute teacher in charge of all subjects…”

“Nonsense, you clearly have a class that no one is teaching.”

“What class?”

” The ancient funeral culture of Great Xia!”

Ji Ruo’s face darkened. This was a lesson you taught yourself!

“Do you think it’s appropriate for you to tell the children this?” Ji Ruo asked tactfully.”

“What’s inappropriate about it? Isn’t this knowledge?” “But this knowledge is not suitable to be taught in class…”

This time, it was Gu Shaoxuan’s turn to interrupt.

He looked at Ji Ruo and asked seriously,””ls there a difference in the value of knowledge? What knowledge was not knowledge?

These things were indeed passed down from the ancestors, right? He couldn’t just cut off the inheritance just because everyone wanted to sanctify it, right?”

Ji Ruo was surprised. He did not expect Gu Shaoxuan to say such a thing.

Was there no distinction between noble and humble knowledge?

Ji Ruo was deep in thought.

Because of her rigid impression of Gu Shaoxuan, Ji Ruo had a preconceived notion that Gu Shaoxuan was not a decent person, but…

Gu Shaoxuan looked at Ji Ruo and said sincerely, “You saw it too. What was the first reaction of those children when they saw me? It was fear.

People should be in awe of death and the dead, but they should not be afraid of the dead.

Was this right? I feel that something is wrong. I want to do something. Please, let me be a teacher.”

Ji Ruo pondered for a moment. “Answer me a question first.”

“Please speak.”

“Is this coffin you’re carrying used to store things, or…”

“Ah, this.” “Didn’t I tell you? I’m in mourning.” Gu Shaoxuan smiled.”

He took down the coffin behind him and carefully opened the lid in front of Ji

Ruo.

A golden light entered his eyes.

“This is…”

“As you can see, it’s a statue.” Gu Shaoxuan shrugged.”

“The Holy Image…”

Ji Ruo’s mouth was wide open in surprise.

The statue in the coffin was shriveled and twisted. It didn’t have the majesty of the other statues at all, and it was only one-third the size of a normal statue.

His expression was extremely ferocious, and there seemed to be some lingering fear.

It was as if something terrifying had happened to him before he died.

“This is my brother.” Gu Shaoxuan looked at the statue in the coffin and his tone suddenly became unusually gentle.” He’s obviously not brave, but he insisted on learning from others. Back then…”

Gu Shaoxuan’s eyes revealed a look of reminiscence, but he did not continue. Instead, he smiled and shook his head.”Forget it, it’s an old story. I won’t say it. ”

“Why do you keep bringing him along?” Ji Ruo asked.”

Gu Shaoxuan was silent for a moment before saying, “Before he died, he told me to live well. Our Great Xia is so beautiful, but he didn’t have the time to see it. He said it was a pity that he wanted me to live and take a good look for him…” How can I see so much scenery alone? So she brought him along. If she wanted to see, she could go and see it herself, even though he could no longer

see it now.”

Ji Ruo looked down at the withered golden statue in the coffin and suddenly said,””Have you prepared your lessons?”

“Hmm?”

Ji Ruo looked at Gu Shaoxuan and said seriously, “How are you going to teach without preparing anything? We didn’t prepare any textbooks on this.” Gu Shaoxuan was stunned for a moment before he was overjoyed.”You agree?”

“What are you saying? I’m just a substitute teacher. What’s the use of me agreeing or not? I’m not the principal.” Ji Ruo rolled her eyes.” If you want to go to class, then go ahead. But I’ll tell you in advance that you’re not allowed to tell horror stories to the children in class!” They were still young, and it was easy to scare them with horror stories.”

“Haha, don’t worry!” Gu Shaoxuan carried the coffin back and said,””l knew you would agree to it because we are the same.”

Ji Ruo was confused,”ls the ‘I’ the same as you?” Where did you find out?”

” Oh?” Gu Shaoxuan smiled mysteriously and said,” You also believe that the world after death exists, right?” The dead souls enter the Yellow Springs, cross the Bridge of Helplessness, drink Meng PO’s soup, and reincarnate…” “Isn’t that feudal superstition?” Ji Ruo frowned.”

Gu Shaoxuan winked at Ji Ruo.”Superstitious? Who knows, just take it as superstition, haha.”

Then, Gu Shaoxuan turned around and waved his hand.”Then I’ll go prepare for my lessons. See you later.”

Ji Ruo was stunned for a long time, then suddenly grumbled,”Why does everyone like to play riddles with me now?”
