Chapter 76: Bone Digging
Strangely, the bald worker didn't seem to see Azanlong at all, turned around and walked to the table, sat down in a chair, picked up the empty glass bottle on the table, and smashed it on the table, and I vaguely saw him holding a piece of glass in his hand, and slashed it around his neck. I was about to scream, but Azanlong began to whisper a mantra at a low volume, and the bald worker's movements stopped, and the glass was pressed against his neck.
I was so anxious that I was sweating down, and when I looked at Kaohsiung, he leaned against the iron gate as if he was nothing, and almost smoked a cigar.
As the sound of Azanlong's chanting of mantras grew louder and louder, the bald worker finally put down the piece of glass, stood up and came somewhere, crouched on the ground and began to grasp the concrete floor with both hands. He clawed hard, and his nails scratched the hard concrete floor with a gratifying sound, which was uncomfortable to hear. Azanlong walked up to the bald worker, took off the beads from his neck, wrapped them around his palm, and pressed them on the back of the bald worker's head.
The worker suddenly did not move, and Azanlong continued to chant the mantra while gesturing to Kaohsiung and me, and we hurriedly went over to help the bald worker up, and saw that his eyes were still wide open, and his face was pale, as if he was dead. Helped to sit down against the wall in the corridor, Azanlong motioned to Kaohsiung for a few words. Under the command of Kaohsiung, Boss Wu and Deputy Factory Director Zhang went to the dormitory to wake up all the workers and asked them to set off to the quality inspection workshop with shovels and pickaxes. All the lights were turned on, and Azanlong gestured for them to dig into the concrete floor.
The ground was hard, but the strength of the people was great, and the pickaxe was sharp, and in a short time it smashed all the concrete floors, and the whole cement stone was transported out by small carts, revealing the solid dirt foundation underneath.
"Do you want to keep digging?" one worker asked.
Kaohsiung said: "Of course, we have to continue digging until we find something suspicious." ”
The worker asked suspiciously, "What is it?" Kaohsiung told everyone not to ask, it was important to work. The workers continued to dig the pit with doubts, and the nearly twenty workers were divided into two groups, plus two nephews of Boss Wu also joined, and every eight workers dug for ten minutes and then changed the guard. In addition, four people were responsible for removing the soil outside, and they dug for more than 40 minutes, almost digging the entire ground of the quality inspection workshop into a rectangular pit nearly two meters deep.
I wanted to ask Kaohsiung exactly how long it would be to dig, but suddenly a worker shouted, "Look, there's a bone here!" Under the illumination of more than a dozen fluorescent lamps, it was clear that there were half bones in the soil, which were dark gray.
"It's a man's thigh bone. Kaohsiung said. The workers were frightened, and the timid hurriedly avoided from afar, Boss Wu and Deputy Director Zhang asked the workers to continue digging, there were so many people that nothing could happen. The men were so bold that they continued to excavate, and there were more and more bones, including leg bones, pelvic bones, fingerbones of hands and feet, and finally a whole skull. There are different shades of color, some are light gray, some are dark gray, and some are yellowish. The worker's legs trembled, and he said that he would not dig any more, and he threw down his shovel and was about to leave.
Boss Wu stopped him: "What are you doing? Are you scared? What are you afraid of so many people, usually you are the most noisy, shouting for a salary increase every day, why can't you bear it now? Don't you want to increase your salary, finish the work for me tonight!" The man blushed, so he had to come back and pick up the shovel and continue digging. Several large tables were placed in the corridor, and under Kaohsiung's command, he asked the workers to wear gloves and put the dug bones on the table, and arrange them in human shapes according to their positions.
Where have the workers seen these, their hands trembled violently when they were placed, and some people asked with a crying voice whether Kaohsiung would be haunted by ghosts. Kaohsiung smiled and said, "As long as you are obedient, you won't." ”
In this way, it took nearly two hours to dig, and finally sorted out eight or nine corpses, all of which were relatively intact, only partially missing. Azanlong asked Kaohsiung to take out a white ball of thread from his coarse cloth backpack, find the thread and tie it to the ribs of the nearest corpse, and then draw it longer and longer, put it on each corpse separately, and finally hand the ball of thread to Azanlong. Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Azanlung spreads the ball of thread and wraps the other end around his left wrist several times before reciting the mantra.
"What is the mage doing?" the eldest nephew couldn't help but ask.
I replied, "I think it's over the bones, but what is this thread?"
Kaohsiung told me: "It's called a warp, it's made of a variety of materials, and it can play a role in attracting spirits and conducting yin qi. Whether it is black or white, Long Po or Azan, they must be used when blessings are exceeded. ”
At this time, I suddenly felt a terrible headache, dizzy and swollen, indescribably uncomfortable, and I wanted to vomit, like someone was pumping a pump into my head. I held on to the wall with my hands, trying to go out to breathe, and at this time, some of the workers who were resting inside and outside the workshop were also covering their heads, some screaming pain and some fainting. Kaohsiung asked us to go to the yard and wait, and after we went out, we felt better, but it was still comfortable, and we all came to the location of the mailroom at the factory gate, which felt much better. And Boss Wu and Deputy Director Zhang couldn't help but vomit out, which was very uncomfortable.
After about half an hour, Kaohsiung called us back and saw that Azanlong had already stood up and was packing up the warp. Kaohsiung communicated with him for a while, and said to Boss Wu and the others: "Azanlong has already used the mantra to overtake these deceased, but it's not over yet, tomorrow you will ask someone to buy a few coffins, and each body will be buried well, and choose a place with good feng shui to bury." Then be sure to remember to put more offerings, burn more paper money, and burn alive, but you don't need to erect a tombstone, and you will be fine in the future. ”
"Really, really?" Boss Wu couldn't believe it.
Kaohsiung said: "Is there still a fake? Just now, Azanlong communicated with these bones, they were buried here for decades, they all died of illness, no one buried them, let alone worshipped, although there was no way to reincarnate, but no one bothered them. And when you build a factory, you have to level the ground and lay the foundation, so that they will not be at peace underground, so there is resentment. It will entangle people who spend the night in the factory to automatically come and die to calm their grievances. But the ghost's grievances will never end, unless they are fundamentally resolved. ”
Boss Wu, Deputy Factory Director Zhang and others looked at each other when they heard these words, their faces turned pale, and those workers also heard it, and they talked about it one after another.
A master said, "Decades...... When I was a child, I heard my mother say that it seemed that this generation used to be mass graves, and when they died, they would throw them into the wild, or dig a pit and bury them, and they had no money to buy coffins. ”
Another middle-aged worker interjected: "Yes, my grandmother also said that at that time, there was always leprosy in Fengtian, and the dead were rolled up with mats and thrown into the field, and the coffins were not allowed to be loaded, saying that it was unlucky." ”
