Chapter 10: The Corpse Puppet (2)

"How do you crack it?" I asked. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"According to what you said, after the strange man 'died' in your bed, you hid him under your bed and then disappeared, and you found some black crystal-like things next to the bed, can you show them to me?" said Hu Qi.

I took out the paper bag wrapped in black crystals from the drawer and opened it to Hu Qi, who touched the black crystal fragments with his hand, then sniffed them with his nose and said: " That's right, these things that look like crystals are actually ordinary white coal, that is, anthracite with a very high carbon content, it is usually used as a medium for witchcraft, you say that the strange man disappeared, in fact, the strange man was used for witchcraft before his death, made into a corpse puppet, when the witchcraft achieved its purpose, this corpse golem turned into a puddle of pus and blood, the reason why this is so, is because this corpse puppet is another corpse puppet's 'ghost'"

"This sounds a bit complicated, what is a ghost?" I asked.

"Have you ever heard the phrase 'fight for the tiger'?"

"I've heard it, it seems to mean helping bad people do bad things, aiding abuse"

"That's right, being a tiger is a person who is said to have been eaten by a tiger, and after death, he will become a 'tiger', and he will die for the tiger. Legend has it that if the tiger is not satisfied after eating a man, it will catch the ghost of that person and let it find another person for it to enjoy, otherwise, it will not let the ghost of that person be free, and the ghost will help the tiger to commit murder in order to get rid of it as soon as possible. He first went to confuse the new man he met, and then untied the man's strap and took off his clothes so that the tiger could eat more easily. This ghost, which helps the tiger eat people, is called a ghost," Hu Qi explained.

"You mean to say that this strange man has been made into a corpse puppet by witchcraft, but he is the ghost of another corpse puppet, and he is being used by another corpse puppet to entangle me?"

"That's right, I used to worship under the Taoist door, Taoism also has a warlock, called Fangshi, Fangshi's art and witchcraft have something in common, but witchcraft has always been considered to be used to harm people's sideways, in fact, witchcraft as early as the Yellow Emperor, Yao Shun had it, it is the ancestor of medicine, Taoism, and even magic and many other things, and now witchcraft is mainly spread in remote areas around Xiangxi, Guangxi, and Yunnan, with Miao people prevailing. Witchcraft is often secretive, although I don't know much about it, but I also know a little bit about it, this corpse puppet is a very evil and vicious witchcraft, and the corpse puppet that controls the ghost is the kind of thing called the ghost corpse, often in order to achieve a certain purpose, to induce the ghost to entangle its target until its purpose is achieved. When the ghost corpse finds its target, the ghost it uses will turn into pus and blood and disappear forever, and the person who is entangled often ends up being a victim of the ghost corpse. As far as I know, there are ways to crack this witchcraft, but ......"

"But how?" I asked.

Hu Qi raised his head thoughtfully, chirped his lips, meditated for a while, and said, "But it's quite difficult, and you need to do two things."

"Master Hu, you're almost dying, don't be funny, what do you want to do? Don't tell me that you have to be a whole boy, this is not enough", I joked.

"First, you need to find the 'Hundred Twin Inner Dan', take half of it and swallow it, grind the other half into powder, mix it with black dog blood and smear it on the ghost's handprint to break the poison of the ghost."

"This doesn't sound difficult", I said, "There are black dogs everywhere, but what is this 'Baimao Neidan'?

"Hey", Hu Qi shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Young man, it's too simple to think, black dog blood is really easy to find, but this hundred taels of Neidan is hard to find, Neidan is actually a stone generated by secretions in the animal's body, Taoists often use it to detoxify and cure diseases, such as the folk donkey treasure, cow treasure, horse treasure or something, but this white white pill is not a stone for ordinary animals, it needs to be a stone in the body of a zombie."

I stuck out my tongue when I heard this: "Master Hu, don't be kidding, don't say whether this 'zombie treasure' is difficult to find, just listen to this source, let me swallow it and not disgust me."

Hu Qi smiled: " Little brother, do you know, although this hundred taels of inner pills are stones, but it is not the kind of stones that people often say, it must be the purple gas of the person who has the breath of the emperor before death, and it is condensed by the essence of the moon for thousands of years, it is said that this kind of inner pill does not say to eat, smell it and go to the five organs, through the six intestines, refreshing the spleen, by no means what you imagined, but this kind of thing is very rare, I have only heard of it, no chance to meet, because the conditions for the generation of this inner pill are very harsh, as I just said, the generation of this inner pill must be a person with the breath of the emperor before death, and also need to naturally form zombies, only these two points are very difficultIn addition, this inner pill can only be generated in the land of 'supreme yang and yin'."

"What is the 'place of the 'supreme yang and yin'?" I asked.

"The so-called Zhiyang refers to the desert with more sunshine and less rain in the adult months, and the so-called extreme yin, that is, the oasis can exist in the desert of the Zhiyang, which must be because the yin under it is extremely heavy, so this 'Zhiyang and Yin' land refers to the oasis in the desert."

"I see, you said that it takes two points to crack, so what is the other point?" I asked.

"Another point is that the entangled person must figure out why he became the target of the ghost corpse, sort out the ins and outs, find what the ghost corpse wants, and what it wants to get is its weakness, and use its weakness to destroy the ghost corpse with his own hands, so as to fundamentally break the ghost corpse technique"

"Nima, it seems that I not only have to 'Desert Treasure Hunt', but also 'Plants vs. Zombies'", I said in my heart, "Who am I messing with".

In fact, although I have gone through a lot of things before, I have a new understanding of some things in this world that are not understood, but it is still difficult to fully accept such things as alchemists and witchcraft, or I am resistant from the bottom of my heart, which is related to the atheistic education I received since childhood, so I am also skeptical of Hu Qi's words, and I do not take it too seriously, which has sown serious consequences for my future encounters.

I asked about the tomb again, according to Hu Qi, I have found the entrance to the tomb, it is estimated that Cheng Jiao will arrange for us to go down to the ground at the right time, and then chatted with Hu Qi a few words, the time is not early, so they will cherish each other, and there will be a period later, and send Hu Qi out of the room.

When I woke up early the next morning, I heard that Hu Qi had left, and I was still a little melancholy.

Everyone listened to Cheng Jiao's arrangement, because there were still some things to prepare before going to the ground, and my fever had just subsided, so I needed to rest again, so I rested that day.

I feel that my body is no longer in trouble, I don't need to be taken care of, so let Da Mao and Er Mao go out for a walk by themselves, Da Mao and Er Mao used to run around for survival, and they haven't really been leisure when they grow so big, and when they hear it, they ask me if I'm going with them, I said that there are some other things, give them some money, and tell Zhao Daya's nephew to take them to visit Qianling.

Tang Ying also went out to hang out alone, Cheng Jiao went to prepare for the things that went to the ground, I didn't see Wu Lan in the morning, it is said that he went out very early for some things, I think this Wu Lan is always mysterious, I don't know what the hell he is doing, I have always suspected that many things were related to Wu Lan before, but there is no other evidence except for the disc of the surveillance video, and I have never had the opportunity to question Wu Lan, I don't know what the purpose of his participation in visiting Yuan and Li's tomb this time is, could it be that Wang Fatzi also invited him to save Xiaopang? According to Cheng Jiao, they met Wu Lan by chance in Xi'an, is it really such a coincidence? In addition, Wu Lan's cousin, 'Wu Men Tianxiaxian', is touching the Jin Xiaowei lineage, and according to Hu Qi, the people of Jinmen have ancestral training and cannot touch the dragon vein of Liangshan, so why does Wu Lan still follow us to the ground? I don't know what article is here, and I must ask him for clarification in person when I have the opportunity.

I didn't go out with Da Mao and Er Mao mainly because I was worried about the strange man, although I was skeptical about what Hu Qi said that I was entangled by the corpse puppet ghost, but after all, the strange man died in my house, and the corpse disappeared out of thin air, I want to find out, see Zhao Daya's reaction after the strange man disappeared, and look for an opportunity to ask him about this strange man.

I watched TV alone in the house, while watching TV while observing the reaction of Zhao Daya's family in the courtyard, but I didn't see anything unusual after observing all morning, Zhao Daya's wife went out to buy vegetables in the morning, and washed and scrubbed after coming back, Zhao Daya's daughter cleaned up the guest's room, and then went back to her own house, except for one point, at ten o'clock I saw Zhao Daya enter the side room where the strange man lived on the left, and came out after a while, as if he hesitated at the door, and then went out, and came back after a while, I don't know if he found anything。

It was almost time for lunch, Zhao Daya's daughter came over and asked me what I wanted to eat, I told her that I wanted to have two cups with his father, I had a treat, just get a few cold meat and hot dishes, open a bottle of good wine, and then let her help me go to the village deli to cut two catties of sauce beef, gave her more money, let her see that there are things she likes to buy some by herself, she agreed, took the money and went happily.

After a while, the little girl came back, according to my instructions to buy sauce beef, I asked her if there is a cool, quiet place, she said that the roof of this small building is a platform, cool and quiet, the view is good, I asked her to take me up to see, sure enough, the platform on the roof of the building is drying the bedding on one side, there is a small shed on the other side, there is a small round table, it is estimated that Zhao Daya's family or guests are also eating in this place, this place is very secluded, just suitable for talking.

I told Zhao Daya's daughter that this place is very good, so I'll invite his father to eat here, let her go down and invite Zhao Daya to come up, and I'll sit here and wait for him.

After a while, Zhao Daya came up, saw me and said a few polite words, I invited him to sit down, and chatted with him for a while, I found that Zhao Daya was always absent-minded when chatting, and there was something on his mind, guessing that it might be because of the strange person's things. When the wine and food were ready, Zhao Daya's daughter got off the platform, I persuaded Zhao Daya to have a few glasses of wine, and Zhao Daya gradually talked more after a few glasses of wine.
