Seven.

As soon as Lao Dao's words were finished, many people on the side were angry, thinking that he was a charlatan who made a fortune by making a fortune from the dead.

So he immediately rolled up his sleeves and prepared to beat him out, but just as he was about to make a move, he was stopped by the woman.

This woman, who turned a deaf ear to no matter how others talked to her, as if she was closed in her own world and couldn't get out, once she woke up, she was more vigorous than anyone else. Not only did she quickly wipe away her tears and stand up, stopping those people, but without thinking, she invited Lao Dao into her door on the spot. This more or less surprised Lao Dao.

It stands to reason that few people will believe a Taoist priest who came out of nowhere, especially if this Taoist priest also claims to let the deceased speak, and normal people will find it extremely absurd when they hear it.

But it is probably in response to that sentence, 'rush to the doctor when you are sick'.

Unable to accept the fact that his daughter committed suicide, the appearance of Lao Dao and the words he said seemed to this woman like a glimmer of life suddenly appeared in a desperate situation. Therefore, he didn't even want to distinguish between the true and the fake, so he just held this life-saving straw tightly in his hand, and was completely unwilling to let go.

Lao Dao said that at that time, I saw that her eyes were bright, and she was still a little straight.

This reaction made him hesitate for a while, afraid that if he judged something wrong, he didn't know what kind of impact it would have on this woman. But since he opened his mouth, how could he regret it lightly, and the opportunity was rare, so despite hesitation, Lao Dao still followed the woman into the house.

Unexpectedly, after entering the house, Lao Dao hesitated again.

Because he doesn't feel dead in this room.

After the death of a mortal, there is a period of time when the yin qi surrounding the corpse will be particularly heavy, so even ordinary people, who are a little more sensitive, can feel that in the deceased's room, or the place where the morgue is rested, the temperature will be lower than in other places, and it will bring a certain sense of psychological oppression to people. The timid person then feels scared and hairy, but in fact is driven by this feeling.

But you can't find that feeling in this room.

Originally, Lao Dao thought that it was because he was standing outside the house in broad daylight. But when he entered the house, Xiang Yang became a back yin, and he still didn't feel dead in the case of back to the shade, which couldn't help but make Lao Dao feel a little uneasy again. And then he suddenly remembered that he had been thinking about how to use this corpse to try the coffin, but he forgot to ask the people around him, since this corpse had been parked at home for so many days, he didn't know if it had been done as usual.

If it has been done, then it will be meaningless to get the coffin again, because the girl committed suicide, so the first seven will inevitably ask someone to do the excess, and once it is overdone, the corpse is undoubtedly like an empty shell, and it is naturally useless for the use of the coffin of the soul.

Thinking of this, he was busy trying to ask the woman for clarification, but a discovery made him stop for the time being.

He saw a man, sitting alone in the corner of the room, the noise of the crowd made him look like a shadow, and if he didn't go inside, he couldn't find his existence at all.

Later, I learned that this man was the father of the dead girl.

A freight driver, a big man who looks black and strong, and is very rough, for some reason he is holding a rag doll in the palm of his big fan. This can't help but make people look at him curiously, and it can be seen that this person must have something wrong with his spirit, because his eyes are wrong, and he is sloppy and a little confused, so it is no wonder that his behavior is so abnormal.

But curiosity is curiosity, Lao Dao just looked at it a few more times at the time, and he didn't take it too seriously, just thinking that he was an abnormality led by the loss of his beloved daughter, compared to this, it is the right thing to confirm the condition of the corpse. But when he turned his head to look at the woman again, he saw that she had closed the door and window and turned around, looking him up and down with an indescribably strange look.

"Dao Ye," and then lowered her voice, she said, "I know you are a master, and as soon as you spoke just now, that thing disappeared......"

"What's missing?" asked Lao Dao after a stunned moment.

The woman raised her slightly trembling finger and pointed at the wooden board beside Lao Dao: "It's the thing that has been pressing on my daughter, it hasn't left, my daughter has not been able to get up, it's almost ten days, and if it drags on, they will force me to bury her......"

The expression on his face when he spoke made Lao Dao have the illusion that something on the wooden board really seemed to be pressing the corpse.

But in fact, there was nothing in that place, and the yin-yang compass he carried with him was what he told him. If there was anything, it would definitely not be so quiet, but the so-called empty wind, Lao Dao thought, since this woman would suddenly say this, there must be a reason. So try to make his expression not have any tendencies, he said to the woman: "Sister-in-law, I can see that your daughter's death may have another hidden reason, but don't mess with it first, let's talk about it slowly." ”

“...... My daughter isn't dead, she's not dead at all......"

After speaking, the woman walked to the edge of the old road, lifted the white cloth covering the wooden board, and then pointed to the corpse on it for the old road to see: "They all say that I am as crazy as my man." But you see, can a person be like this when he dies? If he is going to die, it will be a few days, and can a corpse still be like this?"

Lao Dao looked down at the plank, and his heart, which was still a little apprehensive, was put down for the most part.

For, in the first place, it was indeed a corpse lying on it, and not what the woman had suspected - 'her daughter might still be alive'.

It is impossible not to die, the faces of the living and the dead are very different, no matter how good the embalming measures are and how clever the makeup technology is, it cannot hide the dead air that comes out of the bones.

So, this leads to the second.

Secondly, this corpse is really special. According to the temperature of this season, not to mention that it has been dead for several days, it is the same as that of the same day, if there are no low temperature measures, I am afraid that the quilt will be lifted at the end of the day, and the corpse smell will be able to stun people alive.

But the corpse hardly felt the slightest peculiar smell, but there was a faint, to put it mildly, a little sour, and a little fragrant, like the smell of the door of the new wooden furniture when it was first opened.

Therefore, with this point, Lao Dao can conclude that the cause of this girl's death must not be as simple as simply hanging herself, otherwise, the sudden resentment at the time of death could not be strong enough to make the body last for several days without decomposing.

And such a strong resentment, relying on the first seven simple rituals will definitely not play a role in excess, so it seems that the luck is not bad, if nothing else, this girl's soul should still be there, but for some reason people can't feel the storage of yin qi, it is estimated that there is still a possibility, that is, she died too suddenly, so she didn't realize that she was dead, so she died as if she was not dead. However, how does this explain the peculiar smell of her corpse......

While pondering like this, Lao Dao took the opportunity to look at the corpse in a circle, blocked the girl's mother's view with his back, and then quietly used the peach wood skewer he carried with him to stab into the nail gap of the corpse's left index finger.

The method of nailing the index finger of a person's left hand with a peach wood skeg serves two purposes.

The left hand is connected to the heart, and the index finger is the place where the soul of the person penetrates, so that you can find out whether the soul of the deceased is still in the body, and secondly, because the words of the girl's mother just now made Lao Dao have a heart, he is afraid that if there is really something that the yin and yang compass cannot detect attached to the body of the deceased, he does not have any powerful guy on hand at this time, and he is afraid that he will not be able to take it if he really wants to make trouble, so it is better to nail the corpse with a peach wood stick first, so even if there is something to possess, there is no way to use the corpse for a while。

But as soon as the nail was finished, the woman screamed and scared Lao Dao, thinking that she had accidentally seen her actions.

When I looked back, I realized that the woman's screams were directed at the silent man sitting in the corner. She screamed angrily from her mouth, and at the same time walked up to the man, snatched the doll from his hand and threw it at her feet, and then her fist rained down on the man's thick shoulder, and she cried: "Oh my God! What a big man is crazy to say! This one is lying there motionless, and a stupid and stupid person only knows what to do with sitting with a doll in his arms! What should I do if I am a woman's house!What should I do!!"

After yelling for a long time, the man ignored her, only lowered his head and carefully picked up the doll that was thrown at the feet of the woman, gently patted off the dust on it, and then hugged the old and dirty doll back into his palm as if he was holding his own child.

Seeing this, the woman could only sit down on the ground and hugged her head and cried, crying while she said one thing to the old Tao who tried to come to her side and comfort her.

She said that this man is her husband, a truck driver, who has been running long distances for more than ten years, and the reason why he has become the crazy look in front of him is not because of his daughter who hanged herself, but because when he ran the transportation for the last time two months ago, he suddenly fainted during a break, and after being sent to the hospital, he went crazy inexplicably.

During that time, he was sick, and she took him to the hospital twice in three days, and she almost forgot about her daughter's final exam. Therefore, it is impossible for her to blame her daughter for her poor performance in the exam this time, and it is even more unlikely that her daughter will hang herself because of the poor exam.

"So you think there's something pestering your daughter, so it's right for her to hang herself? After listening to the old way, he asked her.

The woman hesitated for a moment and nodded: "It's not 'feeling', it's really seeing." After speaking, she looked up and pointed to the beam of the house and made a general appearance, and said, "When my daughter was hanging from this beam, I saw something dragging her neck and hands with my own eyes, so that she could not move. But I swear I could see clearly that my daughter was still alive, whether it was hanging from the beams of the house, or when she was rescued after being untied, she was always watching me, trying to call me to save her, but she couldn't make a sound. I'm in a hurry, tell those doctors and policemen, comrades, you can do well, save her again, give her a breath of oxygen, she is still alive...... But no one believed me...... No one believed it...... They couldn't see that thing was covering my daughter's mouth, so that she couldn't open her mouth and couldn't make a sound......"

“...... You just said that thing disappeared when you heard me speak?"

"Yes, Dao Ye, it will disappear in no time. ”

"In that case, why can't your daughter open her mouth and make a sound?"

As soon as this sentence was asked, the woman was immediately stunned. I looked at him in a daze for a while, and then I covered my mouth and cried: "You mean she's really dead......"

"Doctors won't lie to you, sister-in-law......"

"But I saw it with my own eyes......"

As he spoke, Lao Dao saw a black line appear under the nail cover of the corpse that was inserted with a peach wood stick, and knew that the corpse was usable. At that moment, he stopped going around in circles with women, and confessed to her: "Sister-in-law, I want to explain two points to you now, one is that this girl has really passed away, and you want to mourn." Another point, as I said earlier, there must be a hidden secret when people die without decay, no matter whether the thing that you see possessed her is real or false, but one thing is certain, from the small truth I just made, the cause of her death is indeed not just hanging herself, but there is no evidence and nowhere to check, so realistically, you can only accept the results of an autopsy of hanging suicide, because that is a legal certificate given by the hospital, and it is also a fact. ”

"What if it's not realistic?" the woman asked.

"If it's unrealistic, I'll have to use my unrealistic method to continue to investigate some of the problems that the hospital can't pursue. To put it bluntly, although people cannot be resurrected after death, as I said before, I may be able to get your daughter to open her mouth for a while and tell her the real cause of her death, so that at least she can die blindly, and I can give you an explanation. But the method used will look strange, so I don't know if you will mind. ”

"It seems that the sister-in-law didn't mind. Hearing this, the young man looked at the coffin thoughtfully and smiled.

"Yes, she didn't mind. ”

"Do you mind, then?"

“...... What?"

"You took advantage of that sister-in-law's love for her daughter and tricked her daughter's body into testing your coffin, do you mind?"

This question made Lao Dao's expression narrow, and he bowed his head and fell silent.

After a moment, he sighed softly: "No." ”。
