Chapter 111 Smoke from the ancestral grave
Mu Tong took a breath of air, his face turned a little ruddy, and then said, "In our village, the village chief uses pig blood to draw totems. Then in the center of the totem, a whole pig is placed as an offering. Villagers dance around the totem. ”
"Pray for a good year ahead! Pray that the ancestors will bless future generations with prosperity. ”
Chen Wangshu summed it up, "I just hope that there will be green smoke on the ancestral grave and a powerful person in the future." ”
Mu Tong was stunned and nodded hesitantly.
As he spoke, he lowered his eyes with some sadness, "The village chief told me before he died that the divine book is actually half a god, and generally an evil demon. Evil magic cannot be used, and changing one's life against the heavens will pay the price of blood. ”
So Liu Chaoyang didn't listen to the advice of the village chief and used evil magic, whose life did he want to change? What about the Divine Book? Where did it go? ”
Mu Tong shook his head, "What Liu Chaoyang has is a rubbings of the Divine Book. The real divine book, I don't know where they got it. I don't know whose life will be changed. The village chief won't let us see that evil magic. ”
Chen Wangshu is not surprised, according to Mu Tong, the people in the village are simple and do not interact with the outside world. No matter how much the ancestral tomb smokes, even if it explodes, no one will be born with an emperor, and the village chief will stand up to the sky!
In case the new village chief is thick-skinned and proclaims a county order, it will be the end of the day. I'm always embarrassed to say to one hundred and eighty people that Lao Tzu is the emperor, right? Where is the face, it is the wall.
The effect of evil magic is not as useful as that of the wind and rain, and the abundance of grain and grass.
"Does that magic require your blood as an introduction, or is it just the blood of any one person in your village? If it were you, how did the people in the army at that time, or Liu Chaoyang, choose you? Yan Jue on the side suddenly interjected.
Mu Tong looked at the opening on his arm, thought about it carefully, and said, "The general at the head of the army gathered us on the threshing floor, and then asked us to report our birthdays. ”
"In the end, three people, including me, were chosen, blindfolded, and brought into the city. But when I woke up, I didn't see any other people. Liu Chaoyang raised me with good food and drink from the beginning, and when I was fat, he started surgery and bloodletting. ”
Chen Wangshu listened, and couldn't wait to dig Liu Chaoyang's beast out of the coffin and whip the corpse again.
"When was your birthday?" Yan Jue asked again.
"September 15. Liu Chaoyang usually called a little cui's female envoy to bring me food and washed clothes. He made a rag doll. The rag doll ......" Mu Tong paused, as if he didn't know how to describe it for a while.
"That rag doll has no facial features, and the totem formation of your clan is also drawn on its head, which is divided into eight areas, and a finger of hair is sewn on each area!"
Mu Tong looked at it in surprise and nodded, "That's right, he comes every once in a while, and every time he comes, there is an extra poke of hair on the head of the rag doll." Then they will cut me and bleed and put the rag doll in the center of the formation. ”
"But there's one thing you're not right, the head of the rag doll, to be exact, should be nine areas, because there's a formation eye. He came eight times, but the ninth time he never came...... Until a few days ago, the female envoy named Xiaocui did not come. ”
Chen Wangshu glanced at Yan Jue thoughtfully, according to Mu Tong's statement, Liu Chaoyang should kill the ninth person.
But he didn't do it for a long time, or rather, he didn't have time to find the ninth target, so he was arrested directly, because this sacrifice was not completely completed, and the doll was taken away by Zhang Fuyin of Kaifeng Mansion.
"There's a small couch here, you can rest for a while, pad your stomach with some snacks, and wait for two days to find an opportunity, and then I'll arrange a suitable identity." It's just your eyes...... You need to pretend to be blind, understand? ”
Mu Tong breathed a sigh of relief and nodded gratefully, "I understand, the two benefactors saved Mu Tong's life, and Mu Tong can't be repaid as a cow or a horse." ”
Yan Jue looked at him, led Chen Wangshu out of the door of the secret room.
After this toss, the sky was already dawning, listening to the movement of the hibiscus at the door, Chen Wangshu and Yan Jue took off their clothes with lightning speed and lay down on the bed.
As soon as the door opened, Yan Jue yawned and sat up, he picked up the sword that had just hung on the side of the bed, and said sleepily, "Lady, I'm going out to practice swords, you can get up and box." The hibiscus has come with water. ”
Chen Wangshu rolled on the bed, snorted several times, looked reluctant to get up, and sat up with his waist stretched out after a long time, "You go first, I'll wash up and change my clothes before I go." I didn't sleep well yesterday, but I was very sleepy. ”
At this time, Bai Porcelain also entered the house, "Spring is sleepy and autumn is lacking, and it is normal to be lazy." Why can't I sleep well at night, I'll take some soothing incense for a while, and light it for the girl at night. ”
Chen Wangshu nodded, changed into a purple short, wiped his face, and went to the courtyard again.
The two of them came together, and the entire Huguo Mansion suddenly became active as if someone had suddenly pressed the open button.
Chen Wangshu glanced at the big flag fluttering in the wind, there were a few family members riding ladders, changing the new flag, this was the first person to propose to hang his own poems on it, Chen Wangshu did not accept a copper plate, so he responded.
She didn't believe it, this hot search was hung out, and she didn't make a lot of money.
"Mu Tong is in danger. I just read the letter that Uncle Lin gave me before, and the eight girls who died were also born on September 15. According to Mu Tong, I suspect that this ninth person is himself. ”
"Liu Chaoyang didn't kill him, I suspect that something went wrong halfway, or he was waiting...... He was waiting for the fifteenth day of September. But before September 15, Zhang Yunnian killed Liu Chaoyang and took away the doll. ”
Chen Wangshu nodded, feeling the same way, "And September 15 will be the day after tomorrow." Liu Chaoyang killed eight people, only one last step away. If there is anyone behind him, he must have Mu Tong and the doll at the same time, as well as the altar in the secret room of the Liu family before September 15. ”
"Mu Tong is here with us, and no one will be able to guess it. Then, the first thing that the person behind the back wants to take is the rag doll locked in the evidence box of Kaifeng Mansion. ”
"That's right." Yan Jue said, took a distance from Chen Wangshu, and went to the side to practice swords.
And Chen Wangshu also practiced a set of boxing techniques to strengthen the body in a regular manner, and only gave up when Bai Porcelain came to call them to use the morning food. There is a lack of medicinal materials in this ghost place, in case she catches a cold and whines, and she doesn't hear Jiang Yechen call her father when she is dying, wouldn't it be a loss?
It is essential to exercise in the morning!
The two of them used the morning food, and then went out again tacitly. Chen Wangshu rode in a carriage, Yan Jue rode a horse, and the two walked to a fork in the road, one south and one north.
Yan Jue went to Lin'an Mansion to find Zhang Yunnian, and she wanted to go back to her parents' house to find out the origin of the totem familiarity.
