Chapter 41: Get Ready
The so-called spiritualism is to recall the three souls and seven spirits of the dead who are scattered. It's completely different from soul calling, and the things you need to prepare are also different.
I handed over the responsibility of preparing an application to Yang Haoran, after all, I don't need to do things and put money in it. By the way, the corpse poison in his hands has not been cleaned yet, so he can do it together.
After knowing that Li Qiu's death was strange, Yang Haoran naturally went to find his father, who was a police officer. The result is also obvious, being scolded is not counted, and he was almost grounded to go out.
This is not surprising, if you have to see it with your own eyes, who will believe it? Besides, even if you believe it, where will you arrest the criminal? If you are caught, how can you convict you?
It's all a series of questions, and it's hard to have a definite answer.
A day after Yang Haoran contacted me again, he had already bought all the things and got them ready. Li Qiu's body has been taken away by her parents who have returned to China and will be taken back to the countryside for burial.
The two old men are both nearly half a hundred years old, not to mention how big the blow of the middle-aged bereavement is. I tried to imagine that scene, and I couldn't help but sigh.
As a friend who has been with Li Qiu for seven or eight years, Yang Haoran is also familiar with the second elder of the Li family, and knows where their hometown is, so he wants to help them when they go home.
I calculated the time, in fact, I am not very familiar with the ritual of the conjuring system, so I need to cooperate with the next hour. The best time to conjure spirits is the first seven, which is the seventh day after the death of the deceased.
Folklore has it that seven days after death, a person will return from the underworld to his home for the last time. In the development of the millennium, the Heavenly Master Dao has also incorporated it into the theoretical foundation, believing that when the magic caster is short of mana, it is the best time to summon spirits on the first seven days.
Yang Haoran called to discuss, and I asked him to book a ticket to Li Qiu's hometown the next day.
On that day, I was meditating in front of the statue of the Patriarch, and Gong Xiang filled the room with smoke. I was thinking about the matter between Li Qiu, Yang Haoran and Ah Xiu.
The love triangle between the three of them is very easy to sort out, and even I estimate that Li Qiu's death may not have anything to do with Ah Xiu. But I can't deduce the purpose of the wizard, what exactly does he want to do?
For the sake of money? Ah Xiu is not a wealthy financier, and Li Qiu committed suicide and died, and it is impossible to give him the opportunity to defraud money.
For the sake of the corpse Gu Li Qiu's body is indeed a Gu, and I forced it out with the Yang Qi of the Vermilion Bird Seven Nights. But my understanding of witch Gu is only on the surface, and I can't tell what kind of Gu those Gu worms are, or if this is a new Gu that has been cultivated or a witch Gu that killed Li Qiu.
Taking a step back, it's rare for a sorcerer to be involved in such a thing as harming someone's life.
It's not that there are no scum in the Xuanmen who harm people with evil magic, and there are mostly sorcerers in places like R country and Malay and T country, but the price of those people's methods of harming people is sky-high, and it is by no means something that a student can afford.
...... I don't understand.
I was in a state of distress, and I had a vague feeling that the wizard should have some purpose. But nothing can be deduced from the clues that we know at the moment.
However, one thing is certain, that witch master was placed in the morgue by Lao Zheng, and if Li Qiu's body was not found, he should find a way to contact her again.
In other words, it is very likely that I will meet that witch master in Li Qiu's hometown.
The other party is a character who will not hesitate to use the ruthless spell of 'Corpse Vessel Gu', and I don't really have a spectrum in my heart if I can deal with it.
I have a few pounds and taels myself, and I know it myself. Don't look at the fact that I have three ancient books in my hand, and I have broken the other party's Gu magic a few times, but this is only on the premise that the casting object is not me, and the casting time is not long.
The Heavenly Master Dao has been passed down to the present, and I don't know what is going on Dragon and Tiger Mountain. But this vein inherited by Uncle Zeng, there are more lost than handed down, and there are more materials that cannot be found than can be found, especially in modern times, many materials are extinct.
I'm really the kind of person who gets excited about danger, and I'm more interested in the mystery that surrounds it. However, I also had to consider the possibility of a rollover.
"Don't you really need me to go with you?" Chen Muqing, who came out of the bath, wiped her wet hair and asked, "Xiaozhu, I think that man is very dangerous." โ
I opened my eyes and said, "I know, honestly, I'm thinking about what my great-uncle said to my grandfather, that cause and effect. โ
"Your great-uncle... That Lin Immortal?" Chen Muqing took a cushion and sat next to me on the spot. Chen Muqing is the grandson of Village Chief Chen, and he grew up with me, and he knows the story of his great-uncle in Taiqing Village better than me.
I nodded and said, "My great-uncle said that everything has a cause and effect. The greater the cause and effect, the greater the corresponding impact. I'm thinking, when I helped Ah Xiu break the snake Gu, I planted a cause, so there will be the current consequences. โ
Chen Muqing frowned: "Or... Don't mix it up. Now that there are human deaths, and there are Gu worms, I'm worried about ......"
I naturally thought about what Chen Muqing said, but my grandfather has said countless times that if you dip into the cause, you will get the effect, and since I have touched this matter, I have to see the result no matter how good or bad.
Besides, I admit that I'm curious about what the purpose of the Wizard is. I had a vague feeling that this puzzle would be even more confusing than the current one.
Seeing me with such an expression, Chen Muqing sighed: "I'm not at ease, I'll go with you." โ
"No, you're different from me, you have to make sure you attend class. I came back to my senses and shook my head to reject Chen Muqing's proposal, "And don't you still have to work? โ
After going to college, Chen Muqing has been working as a shopkeeper in a paper shop on Ximen Street in Nanyue City, and her monthly salary is very good, but she often encounters some ghosts and ghosts.
Fortunately, Chen Muqing was mixed with me, and she was bold enough, otherwise she would have been able to work in that kind of store.
Hearing my words, Chen Muqing shook her head and said earnestly: "That's all trivial, I know your skills, and I also know your shortcomings." In terms of spells, I'm not worried, what I'm worried about is that if someone comes hard, your bean sprout-like body is not enough for someone to punch with a fist. โ
ยทยทยท Gan!
"I don't know what you're talking about. "I couldn't laugh wryly at what he said, but my physique was really not good enough, maybe because my mother was twins when she was pregnant with me.
I also have an older sister who was born a few minutes older than me, and unlike me, she is the number one leader of their school's track and field team, a woman who basically decathlons.
In my twenty-one years of life, I have suspected more than once that my nutrition has been robbed of by that tigress!
Back then, Chen Muqing threw the towel he hung around his neck to me, and his tone changed from gentle to tough: "Don't say it, just decide." You go take a bath, too, and you're so scented that you're about to become smoked meat. โ
"Don't say such things in front of Master Zu. I rolled my eyes, then collected my feelings, respectfully refilled the three sticks of incense and stood up.
The next day, I woke up early, and Chen Muqing waited in the living room as if she was preventing me from sneaking away.
He didn't like me to prepare a series of props, such as drawn talismans, copper coins, gossip mirrors that might be used, and essential glutinous rice, cinnabar, compass, etc., large and small things filled with a backpack.
Chen Muqing wrapped the wooden sword in yellow cloth and held it casually, if he didn't take it apart carefully, others would still think he was holding a burning stick.
"Excuse me, please?" I scratched my head, and walked to the door after offering incense to the ancestral heavenly master.
Chen Muqing then stood up and said, "I sent an email to the professor, there should be no problem." When are you going to go back to class? It's not an option to always study at home, and you'll not have enough credits. โ
"Do you think I can go back to school like this now?" I showed a helpless smile, first there was Ah Xiu and then Yang Haoran, and when I was studying at home, I could find something evil, and I didn't know what kind of cow, ghost, snake and god would be said to be when I went to school.
And Ah Xiu is said to be still in the hospital and hasn't woken up, although I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but I guess in my heart it should be considered that I have been given some kind of Gu that is not fatal but will make people faint and unconscious.
The ideal thing now is to go to Li Qiu's hometown, summon spirits on her first seven nights, and ask her why she died.
But there is a sorcerer hidden in the shadows, and I can't relax.
After Chen Muqing and I met Yang Haoran at the station, we took a car to Li Qiu's hometown together. When I saw the place name on the ticket, I vaguely felt a little familiar, but I couldn't remember it.
But when Chen Muqing saw it, he said: "Isn't this the Changhe ditch? โ
After Chen Muqing's reminder, I suddenly remembered this place. At the same time, his brows furrowed slightly, it turns out that Li Qiu is still from our neighboring village?
