Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Vanishing Corpse
"You, what do you want to do?"
Guo Zhuo stared at me vigilantly.
"Don't be so nervous, it's not a big deal, I'm here to tell you the news, the last time the female fierce spirit wanted to harm Xiaohua but it didn't work, I believe it won't be long before she will act, and then it'll be up to us who can catch it first!"
Guo Zhuo swallowed nervously, "Then, it must be me, I told you Kuang Heng, you just wait for the time to kneel and beg for mercy!"
I nodded with a sigh, glanced at him holding a piece of yellow paper in his hand, smiled slightly, and deliberately pointed to his right hand and said, "If I'm not mistaken, this should be the evil charm I wrote for everyone, how can you be in your hand when you weren't here?"
Guo Zhuo was startled, but his reaction was quite fast, he took it out, and said confidently: "Why do you say that this thing was written by you, this yellow paper and charm are just drawn casually, they are all about the same, I tell you that I painted it." ”
I shook my head, dismissing to argue with it.
"What do you mean by shaking your head and looking down on me? Didn't you just ask me for something? You say, if you are willing to kneel down and beg me, maybe I can still think about it......
Guo Zhuo regained his previous arrogance.
"It's not so much that I have something to ask you, it's better to say that I'll put some water on you, and don't want to catch the evil spirit in this house for the rest of your life. ”
I always disdain to compete with him when I look at his appearance, but thinking of what this person did to me before, I really feel a little uncomfortable not to retaliate back.
Guo Zhuo is a good-looking person, and when he heard it, he was really angry, slammed the table, stepped on the stool with his legs, and glared at me fiercely.
"Stinky boy, let's see, I'm definitely not going to lose to you!"
After saying that, he left with two followers.
Shen Qiong sighed and said earnestly: "Guo Zhuo is a high-spirited person, what are you provoking him for." ”
Seeing that Guo Zhuo was really gone, the probe secretly came over again and beckoned me to get closer, and whispered: "He is small-minded, if you say this about him today, he will definitely find a way to retaliate against you afterwards, young man, be cautious and don't suffer a loss." ”
I smiled and shook my head, "What's wrong with him, the eldest young master of the Guo family, and he can't afford to lose?"
Shen Qiong shook her head when she saw that I didn't listen to persuasion, and didn't say anything more.
I waved my hand, "Don't worry about this matter, let's talk about the past, you said that my father was investigating this matter and disappeared, and said that he had seen a dead person here, what happened?"
The old housekeeper Shen Qiong was not shy about it, and when the words came to his lips, he was about to say something, as if he suddenly thought of something, looked around left and right, closed the door, and then came back and lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "I only know a little about this matter, I can only tell you everything I know." ”
"Your father's incident is just speculation, and we have no evidence that it has anything to do with the Han family, maybe your father himself has something to do with it, maybe it's just ......"
The old butler paused, "It's just that we think that your father is not such a person, and he should come to say hello even if he is in a hurry, but he disappeared without a word, so we doubt that it will have something to do with the soul in the house this time." ”
I thought for a moment and shook my head, "It can't have anything to do with the spirits in this house." ”
I'm sure of that.
I don't know what level the soul in this house is, although I haven't seen my father make a move, but even if I guess, I can guess that my father has read that book for so many years, and he must have practiced it, but I don't know.
My father is definitely better than me, at least that's what I think, and I can only comfort myself in this situation.
Yesterday I also calculated a hexagram for him, although it is still a fierce hexagram, but as long as he is alive, there is hope.
"That's the old mansion......"
"By the way, what's going on over there, has my father been there?"
"This ......," the old housekeeper hesitated, "I don't know much about this matter, even if you ask, you have to ask the eldest lady, but the old mansion has sold that piece of land since it moved out, so it has nothing to do with the Han family, I don't think I should go there to see it." ”
I thought about it and thought so, maybe I was too sensitive.
"Then tell me about the newly moved house, what happened to the discovery of dead people?"
"It's quite mysterious, because a mad servant said that the bones of the dead were found in the Buddha shrine, and the rest of the dead bodies were found in the back. ”
The old butler sighed, "Actually, this is all rumors, we went to see nothing at the time, so we thought that this person should have fantasized about it after he went crazy." ”
But then the crazy man also said that the body was found, this time not at the shrine, but under the peach tree in the backyard. ”
I was more concerned about the follow-up development of this matter, and sure enough, as I expected, the old butler shook his head.
"We went to the place he said, and there was still nothing, and the eldest lady even sent some people to dig under the peach tree, digging three feet into the ground, and not even a piece of clothing was dug up. ”
"That's weird, indeed. ”
I sighed faintly.
The old butler wiped his sweat and looked up to see me so calm, a little surprised.
"It is worthy of being an onmyoji, young and calm, when I heard the news, the people in the whole house were frightened and didn't know how many masters they invited to come and see, either scared away, or didn't dare to take it, or pretended to take the money and wanted to cheat money. ”
"How could the eldest lady let them succeed? Then this liar has been beaten back, and your father is the most reliable one, but unfortunately no one can contact ......."
I thought about it carefully and felt that this matter was really strange, how could I see a dead person for no reason?
"Are you sure they're seeing dead people and not spirits?"
The old butler smiled bitterly: "Your question is difficult for me, and I am not them, how can I know?"
I smiled a little embarrassedly, "Then ask again, is this house a new house or a change of hands before it is purchased?"
"Of course, the house is newly built, the feng shui of this land is also good, and all the buildings are done according to the instructions of the Taishangye, that is, the grandfather of the young lady, why this happens, it is difficult for us to understand. ”
After getting the news from the old butler, I thought I would start with this inexplicable corpse.
The Buddha shrine and the peach tree, which also sounds interesting enough, both of these places hide things that the soul is extremely afraid of, and it is actually found here that the dead body can be found.
The peach wood wards off evil spirits, and the Buddha's light tends to demons.
It's the opposite, so what is this thing that suddenly appeared, could it be that someone is making a small move?
