Chapter 73: Bones
"Don't get it. ”
Su Chen stopped the guinea pig.
The reason why the little girl's bones are exposed is not because the rat did not cover all the bones of the little girl with soil, but because it is loose soil, which will be lost when it rains.
The rat is suddenly a strange beast, but it is supernatural in other aspects, and it is essentially a mouse, and it is not easy to fill out a soil bag.
The rat didn't listen to Su Chen's words, and still used his paws to keep digging the soil and then transporting it to the soil bag.
"This rat is also a poor one, when he was born he was almost eaten by a snake, but it was the poor ghost who saved it, so he has a deep relationship with the poor ghost. ”
The middle-aged woman explained beside Su Chen, and Su Chen looked at the stubborn behavior of the white rat and sighed in his heart.
Strange beasts are very rare, they are mutants of some kind of animal, mutants, from a certain point of view, just like those defective children, when the parents of this mouse gave birth to a giant mouse, they probably did not recognize the child, and directly abandoned it.
The little girl saves the life of the mouse, and the rat wants to repay the favor, which is a very pure emotion of the animal.
Su Chen didn't stop the mouse anymore, but took out his mobile phone and made a call to go out.
"Tell me everything you know?"
The middle-aged woman nodded, telling everything she knew about the little girl.
Before the middle-aged woman died and was buried here, the body of the little girl was already here, and the middle-aged woman looked at the little girl more pitifully, and took care of the little girl more on weekdays.
As for the little girl herself, she didn't know anything about her origins, as if someone had erased this memory, but the middle-aged woman found out a little information from the mouth of another old ghost.
The old ghost had been dead for more than fifty years, and according to what he said, the little girl was carried up the mountain one night, and there were about four or five of them, but the old ghost did not dare to approach, because there was a Taoist priest among these people, and he was afraid that if he got too close, he would be hurt by this Taoist priest.
"That Taoist priest is from Longhu Mountain. ”
Hearing the words of the middle-aged woman, Su Chen narrowed his eyes, for a layman, it may be difficult to tell the difference between Taoist priests, but for an insider, he can see the doorway.
Taoism in China is divided into two major sects, one is the Quanzhen Sect, and the other is the Zhengyi Sect founded by Zhang Tianshi.
The Quanzhen Sect generally brings mixed yuan scarves, while the Zhengyi faction is mostly Jiuliang scarves and Sanqing scarves, and the disciples of the Zhengyi Sect can not wear Taoist robes outside, and they don't need to have long hair, but the Quanzhen Sect must be full of long hair, and there is a difference between the two.
For the ghosts, the Taoist priest is their nemesis and enemy, naturally they have to understand, in the case of seeing the Taoist priest of Longhu Mountain, the old ghost held the principle that more is better than less, and did not dare to approach.
"The Taoist priest threw the poor ghost's body in the mountain stream, and also pasted a talisman, a few years ago, we did not dare to approach the mountain stream, until a rainstorm later, the mountain stream flooded, and the poor ghost's corpse was washed down, and the talisman was washed away, so that the poor ghost's soul could leave his body. ”
Hearing the middle-aged woman's words, Su Chen looked at the mountain stream not far away, because of the summer, the mountain stream was overgrown with weeds, this was a naturally formed mountain stream.
"What a vicious method, what kind of grudge is this?"
Picking up the weeds and looking at the trend of this mountain stream, Su Chen's face also became ugly, from the perspective of feng shui, the mountain stream is yin, and it has been washed by rain for a long time, this kind of place has the greatest impact on the bones, no one will choose to build the mausoleum in such a place.
Throwing the corpse in the mountain stream, the bones of the corpse were eroded by the cold, which made the deceased not at peace after death, but this is not the end, if he guessed correctly, the talisman posted by the Taoist priest should be a soul sealing talisman.
The soul sealing talisman is a kind of rarely used talisman, and it is generally used more than the soul suppression talisman.
The function of the soul charm is generally used on some people who have died, to suppress the evil spirit and resentment of the deceased, to prevent the resentment of these dead from dissipating and turning into a ghost, and to suppress it with the soul talisman, but the function of the soul sealing charm is to seal the soul, so that the soul cannot leave the body.
The soul can't leave the body, and there is no way to even go to the underworld to reincarnate, and this mountain stream belongs to yin, and the cold air of the mountain stream can even erode the soul, and after a long time, this soul will be wiped out.
Throwing the corpse in the mountain stream and then using the soul sealing charm is to make the soul of the deceased scattered.
It is really rare for a Taoist priest to use such a vicious method on a little girl, and as for why the little girl does not remember her life experience, Su Chen is estimated to be the ghost of this Taoist priest.
"You want me to help her find her identity and origin, and then send her to the underworld?"
Su Chen looked at the white mouse, at first he thought that the deal between the white mouse and himself was to let himself send the little girl to the underworld, and then say hello to the underworld, so that the little girl could be reincarnated as soon as possible without suffering in the underworld.
But now it seems that this matter is not so simple.
It's not that lonely souls and wild ghosts can't go to the underworld to be reincarnated, but the underworld is actually the same as the yang world, and it also has a household registration system.
Su Chen knew too much about the behavior of those ghosts in the underworld, and he was too lazy to do so, otherwise there would be no such thing as building fake tombs to cheat lifespan.
For a lonely ghost like a little girl, if she goes to the underworld, the most likely thing is to be casually thrown aside by the ghosts of the underworld, and these ghosts will not investigate the identity of the little girl.
After all, you don't have an identity background, so you don't know which region the ghost is responsible for, and to check a ghost who has no identity background, only at the level of Yin Si can have such an ability, and ordinary ghosts don't have it.
The jurisdiction of the underworld over ghosts is actually very relaxed, first of all, the household registration system, each ghost is responsible for an area, if there is a deceased soul in the ghost area and does not go to the underworld to report, the ghost will not particularly care, that is, just register, unless a certain number of ghosts are missing.
After registration, the ghost will ignore it, and if the missing ghost later goes to the underworld and tells the ghost his identity, the ghost will find it by checking the list of missing ghosts in their system, confirm the identity, and send it to the underworld for trial.
But the little girl doesn't know her name and place of birth, and when she goes to the underworld, it is not easy to find it, because there are definitely hundreds of missing ghosts that meet the conditions, and it takes too long to check and compare them one by one.
The only way to deal with it is to register the little girl's situation, and then leave it alone, and let the little girl wait for the above news.
And the above method is also very simple, these hundreds of missing ghosts with the same conditions will eventually slowly return to the underworld, and after they are all numbered, the last missing ghost is the little girl.
Some people will wonder, if some of the other missing ghosts are already gone, won't the little girl never wait for this day?
When Su Chen was in the underworld, he also asked Yin Si, and Yin Si's answer was that the souls of all creatures in the yang world were recorded in the life and death book, and if a ghost soul was scattered, the name would be crossed out on the life and death book, and all the ghosts in the underworld would also be notified.
In other words, in the end, the identity of each ghost can be confirmed, and it is only a matter of time.
Not long after Su Chen finished thinking, footsteps came from behind him, and the middle-aged woman disappeared in place in an instant.
"Mr. Sue!"
Su Chen turned around, Yinli and her third uncle Yinbao followed Chen Xin towards him, Yinli and Yinbao were notified by him by phone, and it is estimated that the three of them should have met by chance on the mountain.
"Mr. Su, this is what you want me to bring. ”
Yin Leopard was carrying a snakeskin bag in his hand, Su Chen nodded and took the snakeskin bag, which contained some incense candles and other things.
First took three sticks of incense and lit them, Su Chen bowed to the three sides, and then inserted them in front of the earthen bag.
Then Su Chen motioned to Yin Leopard to take out the oil paper in the snakeskin bag and spread it on the ground, and then took a shovel to carefully remove the soil from the dirt bag, and the white rat on the side squatted there silently watching Su Chen's actions.
Cleaning up the soil, a thin corpse appeared in front of everyone, when they saw this corpse, Chen Xin and Yin Li's faces turned a little whiter, but both of them knew whose corpse it belonged to at this time.
There was a look of anger on Yinli's face, the little girl saved her life, but now that the little girl didn't even have a coffin, she suspected that the little girl might have been killed and abandoned in this mountain wilderness.
Chen Xin's face was distressed, just now the little girl took her to walk around the mountain, she was a little scared at first, but later found that although this little girl is a ghost, she is no different from an ordinary little girl, the same innocent, the only difference may be that she is more precocious and timid.
Thinking that such a lovely little girl died in this mountain, and there was not even a grave, she felt a little sorry for this little girl.
Without the hands of the sound leopard, Su Chen picked up the little girl's bones and found the oil paper cloth, and then asked the sound leopard to grab the two corners of the oil paper cloth, and he also grabbed the two corners, and the two of them carried the oil paper cloth towards the wooden house on the mountainside.
Because it was a cloudy day today, Su Chen was not afraid of the bones being exposed to the sun, and the rat also followed all the way, as for the little girl's expression when she saw her bones, her expression was confused.
She didn't know that this was her own bones, because she had never been here, Xiaobai didn't let her come before, and then her aunt said that there was something very fierce here, so she didn't dare to come.
