"My father told me that he knew that Rui'er and I had made a lifelong agreement with each other in private, and he said that he saw all my feelings for Rui'er in his eyes, but he didn't usually show it, and that day he called her to the room to insult her, completely deliberately, in order to make me die, and completely cut off contact with Rui'er, because Rui'er was in his heart, not suitable to be the daughter-in-law of the Chong's family, he was afraid that I would marry her sooner or later, so he staged this drama;

"After hearing this fact, I did die, but not to Rui'er, but to my father, it was really a shame to be his son, just to not want me to marry an inferior person as a daughter-in-law, to abuse an innocent girl like this, I did not quarrel with my father, but decided to give up the identity of the son of the Chong family, and conspired with Rui'er to elope;

"I remember that day was the ninth day of the third month, before dawn, I had secretly left Qingcheng with Rui'er in a carriage, Rui'er's expression at that time I will never forget, after a long absence, she finally recovered her previous spirit, and smiled extremely relieved and sweet;

"As soon as we got out of the city gate, my father came to chase after him on horseback with a large group of housekeepers and thugs, and the horseman who was driving for us was in a panic and accidentally let the wheels get stuck in the ditch, and could not pull out, so Rui'er and I abandoned the car and fled into the swamp, where the mud was so soft that the horses could not enter, and my father did not give up easily, and chased after him on foot with his retinue;

"Rui'er and I were finally forced to the edge of a big quagmire that we couldn't get through, and there was nowhere to escape, when she and I thought the same, we just looked at each other, we understood each other's minds, we didn't talk much, just held hands, walked into the quagmire together, and only wanted to be martyred;

"That quagmire can sink even if the leaves fall into it, we just stepped into it with both feet, and we were sucked up by the mud at once, the force of the mud dragged us down, in the sludge drowning, when I closed my eyes and slowly accepted the suffocation, I could still feel the strength of Rui'er's grip on my fingers, she didn't hesitate, I didn't regret it, neither of us struggled, we were very at ease with each other, and we were willing to suffocate until we died, I thought at the time, I couldn't be married to her in life, so dying with her was enough to make me happy as if I was in heaven;

"What happened later was what I saw and heard after I became a lonely ghost, I was wandering near the swamp, and after three days and three nights, I was invited by a Taoist priest to return to Chongjia, I floated in mid-air, looking at my parents and brothers who knelt in front of my corpse to guard the spirit, I stared at the center of the room above their heads, my corpse was placed on a long table, not covered with any white cloth, the sludge on the corpse was not treated, the flesh I used before my life was messily paralyzed like a rag, there was no human touch, and the atmosphere did not look like a funeral for me at all;

"There were no guests, only my parents and my two younger brothers were present, I didn't know my father's sinister intentions at that time, I didn't expect that I was already a dead man, he would still use me, and he would also frame Rui'er, I only hated myself for being incompetent, what if I became a ghost, I still couldn't kill him.

Nangong Douling had completely brought him into his past, as if the Soul Stopping Ritual was actually unfolding in front of his eyes.

As the male corpse continued to tell, in his desperate and cold language, Nangong Douling was as if he was there.

As if through the eyes of the undead, he saw his father suddenly get up in the ancestral hall, holding three sticks of incense in his hand, and the lit incense was facing downward, grasping it in the palm of his hand, and said to everyone in the family: " My son Zhiguo is not filial, and a slut martyrdom, shame on our Chongjia, he is the eldest son, but there is no contribution to our family, I feed him in vain, death is also a waste of death, our Chongjia has never done loss-making business, although Zhiguo passed away, but did not completely lose his effect, he is still valuable, as a father, I must make good use of his value, for the benefit of the Chongjia, let the ancestors have a long face, but also for the descendants of the Chongjia to accumulate wealth, in this way, Zhiguo is not in vain. This ritual was set up to allow Zhiguo to create greater wealth for our family, what do you think?"

There was no objection from the family.

Zhiguo's mother said indifferently: "I don't think I have ever given birth to this son, the master disposes of it at will, since he doesn't take me as a mother to heart, he will be martyred with a woman casually, and he will not remember the kindness I have worked so hard to raise him, and I don't have to continue to cherish him." ”

The second brother said: "The lights are extinguished, the eldest brother is dead, he can't still feel it, no matter how he fiddles with his corpse, he must not feel it, if the eldest brother's corpse can still play a role, it can be regarded as atoning for his sins, I agree with my father's words, if we can let our Chongjia from now on the incense is prosperous, the financial resources are abundant, and the eldest brother will die well." ”

Although the third brother did not speak, his eyes had already expressed his expression, and he had no opinion on his father's suggestion.

Zhiguo's father nodded to the Taoist priest standing under the pillar and approved his action.

The Taoist priest was wearing a blood-colored red robe, there was no pattern on the robe, I don't know what sect he is, I only think that his eyes are gloomy, and he is probably not a righteous path mage, and he exudes yin and evil poison that cannot be hidden, I don't know what despicable schemes he has in his heart;

He rudely stripped off his shirt, bare his shirt, took up his knife, slashed diagonally at his chest, and pressed a bowl full of white wine against the wound, blood flowed down the edge of the bowl into the wine, and the clear and transparent liquid suddenly turned scarlet;

He handed the blood wine to Zhiguo's father and explained: "You and your son have to drink, the blood is blessed with my spell, and when it enters your belly, the spell will take effect and work in your essence and blood, this bowl of blood wine can not only protect your generation, but also protect your direct descendants, as long as the offspring conceived through the essence blood of you and your son, the soul of Zhiguo will not be able to seek revenge and revenge." ”

The father and son bowed their heads to each other, their eyes were cold, and in silence, one of them drank all the blood wine in one gulp.

At the side door of the ancestral hall, two big men with sacks on their backs walked in, bare, with a mottled apron on their chest masks, and minced meat in their hair, who looked like butchers;

The two threw the bloody sack to the ground, untied it, and poured out the stumps of mules, dogs, pigs, and sheep, and hot animal blood was still gushing out of the broken place, "Master Chong, they are all fresh, and they were just slaughtered." ”

Zhiguo's father pointed to the table, "You can do a lot of things for me, go over and chop off the hands and feet of this corpse for me." ”

The butchers looked shocked and shook their heads: "We only slaughter livestock, not people." ”

Zhiguo's father took out two heavy money bags from his waist and threw them into their arms, and the silver in the bags clanged, "He's not a human, he's a dead corpse, you can just cut it down as if he were a pig or a dog, I don't care." ”
