When a foreigner dies, everyone is in charge of killing him, and the Zhong family is in charge of burying him.
Zhong Jiu, the ninth-generation shopkeeper of Zhongjia's White House in Huiyang Lane, has a "Jiuyou White House Book" passed down from his family. The deathbed obsessions of the deceased who have been handled have been recorded and become ghosts; the corpses are sealed with ink lines, and the streets are sealed with money for passage. When the soul-calling words are rang, the spirits sent by the spirits to arrest the generals have to follow the banners.
In the year when Quan Xing attacked the mountain, none of the lonely ghosts in the back mountain could get there because Zhong Jiu had spent a street's worth of money on the road.
Biyou Village collapsed, Ma Xianhong asked him with red eyes: "What is your craft?"
Zhong Jiu said while cleansing the face of the deceased: "You are doing nothing. The living will be given an explanation in the world of heaven, and the dead will be given a place in the underworld."
Until he turned to the first page of his notebook.
Jiashen year, thirty-seventh order: guest, unsigned.
The people on that page have not survived for eighty years, nor have they survived.
Only then did Zhong Jiu know that nine generations of the Zhong family had been guarding this shop, waiting for the last business.
Do a white thing for "death" itself.
