Chapter 033: Soul Refining Platform

After the old Wang Tou finished speaking, he took Li Yue and me to Jia Daoguang's house.

I can't care about not sleeping all night at this time, since the old king has the heart to take us there, I really want to see how Jia Daoguang gathers souls and refines souls.

About a few dozen minutes later, we arrived at Jia Daoguang's house.

Jia Daoguang's house is built on the edge of a mountain col with no other residents around, and three large willow trees are planted in front of the door, which is a standard courtyard structure.

Lao Wangtou walked in the front, kicked open the courtyard door directly, and beckoned us to follow up.

Then, the old king pried open the door of the main house and walked in first.

But we searched around the house and found nothing suspicious.

"Impossible!"

The old king pinched his chin and pondered.

I said, "Old man, he shouldn't be at home if he wants to gather souls, right?" ”

The old king ignored me, and suddenly stared at the altar directly opposite and glanced at it.

"Lu Yuan, you go and get a hoe."

"You're old, what do you want a hoe for?" I asked.

"If you are told to go, you will go!"

I sighed, and then I found a hoe outside the yard and handed it to the old king.

The old king took the hoe, spit twice on his hand, and then raised the hoe and aimed it at the altar and slammed it over.

Li Yue and I looked at each other on the side, what is this old man trying to do when he smashes the altar?

At this time, only listen to "Bang Dong! "A bang.

Li Yuezheng and I were puzzled, and then we heard a "whirring" sound in the right corner of the main house, and then a door actually opened on the ground and came out!

At first glance, this thing looks like a secret door to the underground.

"Sure enough, it's here!"

The old king's face was happy.

"Be careful."

So saying, the old king jumped into the door.

Li Yue and I were stunned for a moment, and then jumped into the door as well.

After landing, I quickly scanned the circle and found that it was a passage that sloped into the ground.

There was a faint light at the end, as if there was a fire.

The entire passage is about half a person high, barely enough for one person.

Jia Daoguang's house actually has a hole in the ground, which surprised me very much.

The old king did not speak, but led us slowly down.

The further I went, the brighter the light became, and I saw a lamp bowl on either side of the wall not far away.

There was a faint smell of fishy smell in the tunnel.

I took a closer look, and there was a tube on both sides of the lamp bowl, and the tube was facing the lamp bowl, and from time to time a drop of waxy yellow oil-like liquid was dripping into it.

Li Yue pinched his nose and asked Lao Wang, "What kind of oil is used in that bowl, and why does it smell weird?" ”

The old king didn't speak, only gestured to us.

Soon, I came to a room that was only about ten square meters, and I had come to the end here.

In the middle of the room, I saw a stone platform more than half a man high.

There are four pillar-like things around it, and the stone platform is surrounded by it, and I don't know what it is used for?

There were six lamp bowls on the four corners of the room, and the lights were not very bright, and I could barely see the situation in the room.

Lao Wang took us to move to the front of the stone platform, and I found that there was a slightly higher stone mill on the side of the stone platform, which was slimy, and the grinding edge was just facing the stone platform.

I asked the old king, what the hell is this?

I always felt weird and a little eerie.

Old Wang Tou looked at the four pillars on the side, and said calmly, "Don't you want to see soul refining?" ”

When Li Yue and I heard this, we both looked at the old king strangely.

"The stone platform in front of you is for soul refining!"

"Huh?"

Li Yue and I hurriedly took two steps back.

"Evil, Jia Daoguang of this dog day!"

Old Wang Tou began to scold, "I heard the old man in my family mention the matter of the Soul Refining Platform before, but I didn't expect anyone to dare to do this!" ”

The old king pointed to the stone platform in front of him, "Do you think it looks like a coffin?" ”

I saw that the thing was square, and I said, "It looks like it and it doesn't look like it." ”

"Now you know what's in the oil in the wall lamp bowl, right?" The old Wang suddenly looked at the stone mill on the side and asked me and Li Yue.

I saw him looking at the stone mill, and my heart suddenly tightened, "What do you mean by being old, this thing is a human... Oil? ”

The old king didn't answer yes or no, but I already knew the answer from his tone: "I smelled it when I entered the door, and I will never forget that fishy smell in my life!" ”

I couldn't help but shudder directly after hearing this, and Li Yue grabbed my arm, as if I would throw her down and run away.

"If my guess is correct, he must have stolen the corpse back at night and used the soul refining platform to gather souls!"

The old king pondered for a moment and said.

"Stealing corpses back?"

I was a little puzzled, "How did he steal the corpse and refine the soul?" ”

"Of course you don't understand, even I don't understand, but one thing, I'm sure, these four pillars must be full of the birth dates of the people who have been refined!"

The old king's eyes were like torches, staring straight at a pillar not far away.

I had the courage to move over slowly with Li Yue, and sure enough, as soon as I got close to the pillar, I saw the words "The eleventh day of the first month of the first month of the year of Yiwei" faintly written on it.

And at the same time, there is a name written on the side.

The handwriting is very blurry, but I can see it vividly, even in shock!

These names are likely to be people who have already refined their souls, or the objects that Jia Daoguang is preparing to attack.

I took a quick glance, and suddenly, a few names on the pillar made me feel a chill in my heart!

With the names of Li Yue and me and the eight characters of birth written on it, it is not surprising that Jia Daoguang wants to take our souls.

But there were the names of the old village chief, Daddy Ma, and my grandfather written on it!

To be honest, I really don't dare to think about it anymore.

Seeing this, I seem to understand: the old village chief and Daddy Ma definitely did not die at the hands of Qinggu!

It's even very likely that even my grandfather wasn't killed by Qinggu!

Li Yue also saw these names, and I believe that her thoughts in her heart should be similar to mine.

Because at this moment, her face was full of anger.

I clenched my fists tightly and couldn't say a word.

After coming out of the basement, I took a long time.

"I don't think I need to say anything more about gathering souls, right? That's all I can do to help you! ”

Lao Wang saw that Li Yue and I had been silent, so he spoke.

I listened to what he meant, as if I didn't want to meddle in things, and hurriedly said, "Don't you always come out to administer justice?" ”

The old king smiled bitterly, "That's how the old man in my family gave his life, and I came all the way to the mountains to live in seclusion, just because I didn't want to cause these things!" ”

Li Yue said: "Old man, the greater your ability, the greater the responsibility, why do you want to escape?" ”

"Hahaha, girl, you are too exalted to me, my old king's head can be a little bit in the water, but before it was just a momentary temper and a trick."

I wondered, did this old man find something and be scared?

Why did he walk down in a circle, his face changed so quickly?

"Old man, since that's the case, I won't advise you anything, so let's do it, anyway, it's close to noon, you always come to my house for a light meal, which is a little bit of our heart as a junior."

After I finished speaking, I didn't care if the old king wanted to or not, I just pulled him home.

Since he is a good drinker, I don't believe that he can't be dragged into the gang to help?

After I went back, Li Yue and I simply made a few side dishes, and I filled the wine left by my grandfather with the old Wang.

After eating and drinking, I saw that it was almost over, and immediately pulled Li Yue to kneel down for the old king.

"What are you doing here?"

Seeing this, the old king was anxious.

I said, "Old man, don't hide it, the two of us are dying now, and we have no ability, so I can only ask you to help save our lives!" ”

"Alas, you doll, aren't you embarrassed for me?"

"There's nothing I can do!" The old king sighed:

"In this way, I will pass on to you the ability of the old man in the family to draw talismans, although it will not play a big role, but it may be able to help you avoid trouble at a critical moment!"

As he spoke, Lao Wang pulled me and Li Yue up, then dipped some wine in the cup with his hand, and began to write slowly on the table.

As he wrote, he recited the mantra and asked me to write it down.

The old king said that his ability to draw talismans was a unique skill passed down by his father, but unfortunately, only half of it was passed down, and his father died.

The symbol is divided into two sides, one side is yin and the other side is yang.

Draw yin charms to ward off evil spirits.

Writing yang charms can ward off disasters.

Formulas can be used out of thin air.

It's just that the effect is not as good as drawing on yellow paper with cinnabar.

After teaching this, Lao Wang didn't care that Li Yueming and I didn't understand, and then hurriedly went out to say goodbye and left.

I sighed, but I still couldn't move him after all!

Not long after Lao Wangtou left, a middle-aged man with an inch of hair came to find me and Li Yue.

"You're Li Yue, right?"

The middle-aged man looked at Li Yue, and then nodded at me again, "I saw you when you came to the bureau before. ”

Seeing that Li Yue and I were puzzled, the middle-aged man briefly introduced himself again.

"My name is Lu Le, I am from the Special Cases Investigation Section, and I am now in charge of the case of your grandfather Li Maochun."

Lu Le looked at Li Yue and said, "I have already transported your grandfather's body back, and then you can dispose of it yourself." ”

I said, "The body has been disposed of, how do you investigate?" ”

Lu Le glanced at me, "Can I come in and sit?" ”

I hurriedly beckoned him into the house.

"Let's tell you the truth, our Special Case Investigation Bureau is different from ordinary police officers, and Li Maochun's case, I believe that there is a third party involved in it."

Speaking of this, Lu Le smiled, "That's what you call supernatural events like ghosts and gods!" ”

"This is my ID, as for my personal identity, please keep it secret for me, in view of the recent supernatural events around your village, I will stay with you for a while during this period, it should be no problem, right?"

Lu Le took out his documents and said very officially.

I looked at Li Yue and said, "No problem, it's no problem to stay as long as you want." ”

"Okay, it's refreshing! I like it. ”

Subsequently, I accompanied Li Yue to invite a few villagers and sent the body of the old village chief into the house.

The coffin had already been prepared, and the nearby enthusiastic villagers then helped to build a makeshift mourning hall.

After that, I arranged a place for Lu Le, who was very casual and didn't pick a place at all.

In the evening, Li Yue hurriedly ran over to find me and Lu Le.

I was originally going to take Lu Le over to guard the old village chief's spirit.

Lu Le asked Li Yue, what happened to him, so urgent?

Li Yue's face was frightened, and he shook his head, "I don't know, there are weirdness in my house!" ”

I was stunned for a moment, "What's weird?" ”

"I, my grandfather, seem to be back!"

I said, the old village chief is back, what's the problem?

Lu Le's face on the side changed, "Come with me, it is estimated that something will happen!" ”
