Chapter 43: Ashes
......
It's still the back mountain.
The source of the fog......
Wang Dahai and Dongmen slipped all the way to the bottom of the mountain, and they found the place where the walking corpses were.
In the lime-mixed land, the two elves looked around. As a professional elf here, Dongmen has already begun to check for problems in the soil. And Wang Dahai's responsibility is to stay by his side and pay attention to safety......
At the same time he has several questions.
"Dead souls can also control walking corpses?"
"Strictly speaking, the way the dead soul manipulates the walking corpse is through the upper body."
Dongmen explained: "But Shiraishi Ya was a very powerful onmyoji during his lifetime, so his dead soul retains the mana of his life, and he can use the method of manipulating the walking corpse before his death." But it is very difficult to make an elven soul retain the abilities of his life, even if he is a powerful onmyoji during his lifetime. β
It's difficult, but it's not impossible.
Dongmen carefully observed the limes in the soil and muttered, "If this kid Ankang is here now, he should be able to tell the exact time when these limes are sprinkled here." β
"What about you?" Wang Dahai asked.
Dongmen grabbed a handful of lime and said, "I can only analyze it." β
The lime was sprinkled in the soil over a month ago, and was deliberately mixed with the soil, and then covered with a layer of masking dirt to prevent the elves from detecting it.
Even though there are very few elves here, they are still so cautious.
"So, the deliberate ingredients are heavier!"
Dongmen pointed to a depression in the soil and said, "This is where the walking corpse first stayed, because we appeared, so he was awakened." β
"So here's the problem......"
Wang Dahai asked, "The walking corpse needs to be refined by the corpse, so where did the corpse come from?" And how did Shiraishi still retain some of his mana after death, and rely on his mana to get it out? β
Wang Dahai pointed to the dense fog that trapped the elves, these things were obviously not caused by ordinary small mana.
This means that Shiraishi's deceased soul has a powerful mana on his body.
With such a large amount of mana, it is too difficult to retain it by the dead souls themselves......
Dongmen believes in this.
Wang Dahai stood in the place where the walking corpse was hiding: "Then could it be an external force?" β
These limes were deliberately created by the elves, after all, it was impossible for Shiraishi's dead souls to make them. What if these lime elves find a way to help Shiraishi recover his mana?
Faced with such a bold guess as Wang Dahai, Dongmen also had this suspicion.
But if that's the case......
Dongmen said: "If there is an elf who helps Shiraishi recover according to the mana, it is definitely not an overnight thing, even if it is just a month or two, it cannot be achieved." β
Wang Dahai closed his eyes and pondered for a long time, then spoke again: "Then what if it is twenty years?" β
"Twenty years?" Dongmen said incredulously, "Who will spend twenty years helping a deceased soul recover his mana?" β
If Gao Ling's father, Gao Tu, hadn't killed Bai Shioshi with his own hands twenty years ago, then Gao Tu would be the most likely elven choice.
So now, after excluding the high-level disciples, who else would want to do this?
Dongmen said: "The elves who are secretly haunting have laid lime here, so the dead souls of Shiraishi Ya should have also acted around here before." Dead souls usually wander near where the body is buried, or where the accident occurred. But here'......"
Wang Dahai searched from the black snake's memory: "The place where Bai Shiya was attacked is not here, as for his body, it should be cremated by Gaotu, and it is impossible to stay." β
"Cremation?" Dongmen said: "The ashes are also fine." Even a little is enough! β
Ashes?
Wang Dahai suddenly stared at the lime mixed in the soil under his feet: "Do you think this is possible......?"
Dongmen also looked at the limes and shook his head in disbelief: "If this is really the case, then this elf is really too pretentious!" β
Mix the ashes with lime and create a place where corpses and souls are nourished.
What kind of spirit would behave like this?
The main point -
It would take twenty years for Shiraishi's dead soul to have mana.
Twenty years, that's not something that can be done with patience.
Wang Dahai and Dongmen quickly cleaned up the ashes and white ash on the ground before leaving the back mountain.
Under the fire talisman, the soil full of yin and evil qi instantly burned. The east gate carefully drove out a fireproof wall with his feet beside him, and after these remnants were cleaned up, he left with Wang Dahai and returned to Gaoping's residence.
There, the unconscious Bai Xiao and Gao Ping still didn't wake up.
Gao Ping's bitten hand has been treated, but fortunately, the wound is not deep and is fine. As for Bai Xiao, he was just knocked from the second floor to the first floor and suffered a slight concussion.
Facing the situation inside the cottage -
Wang Dahai asked, "Bai Xiao fell out of the second floor?" This girl's skills are so good, so I'm afraid the elves who attacked her won't be bad. β
"Elves?"
Gao Ling was puzzled: "Shouldn't it be the dead soul of Uncle Shiraishi?" β
Wang Dahai sneered, just silently walked up to the second floor, and Gao Ling followed closely to the second floor.
On the balcony on the second floor, there was broken glass all over the floor, and Gao Ling cautiously followed behind Wang Dahai. After walking around the room, he found a broken stone among the broken glass.
"Dead souls have no substance, and they won't use the trick of smashing glass to attract the attention of other elves!"
Wang Dahai picked up the broken stone and put it in Gao Ling's hand: "Such an obvious clue, don't you need me to remind you?" β
Gao Ling quickly went through the situation in his mind.
She immediately understood something: "Could it be that they ......?"
"If you don't say it, I don't know who it is?"
Wang Dahai's voice suddenly lowered: "Now I hope you'd better pretend that you don't know anything, because I need a bigger flaw, if not, then create one!" β
Gao Ling was puzzled, but looked at Wang Dahai as if he didn't understand.
There was something in his eyes.
However, what he was sure of made the elf feel headless and tailless, and even how he came up with it.
Wang Dahai pointed to the broken glass on the ground: "Find an elf to clean up the broken glass!" By the way, where are Ya Shiraishi's ashes? β
"Uncle Shiraishi's ashes?"
Gao Ling shook his head suspiciously: "Uncle Baishi has not been cremated, how can there be ashes?" β
"Ya Shiraishi wasn't cremated?"
When this question fell on Dongmen, the shock on his face was the emotion that a normal elf should have. He stared at Wang Dahai: "Why is it different from what we think?" β
"Isn't it different?"
Wang Dahai sneered: "The reason for the difference is that now we are just thinking about it, and we haven't confirmed it yet!" β
......
Because of the memorial to his deceased friend Shiraishi Ya and his husband elves who were mistakenly stopped by himself, the ashes of the two elves have been kept here in Bihai Villa.
And just above this mountain, where Wang Dahai and the East Gate are familiar.
"That Mr. Ho has been around there."
......
Gao Ling explained: "There used to be a pavilion there, but then it was demolished because of an earthquake and it was broken. The ashes of the Shiraishi couple are buried in the original location of the pavilion. It was a place they used to go to during their lifetimes, and the two elves often sat there for an afternoon. I often hear my uncle and aunt playing the flute together...... I still remember those tunes. When Uncle Shiraishi showed up that night, I heard the same tune they used to play! β
Later, he learned everything about that night from Gao Ling, the only witness to the accident last night.
Dongmen couldn't help but nod at Wang Dahai: "Why are you sure that the guy surnamed He will do it?" β
Wang Dahai said: "If he doesn't do it again, there will be no chance!" β
Dongmen asked again, "But what if they are not Shiraishi's opponents?" β
Wang Dahai looked at the three elves of Gao Ling, and said indifferently: "Then I can only blame the three elves for their bad lives, and if you die, you will die!" β
When the cold words came out of his mouth, although it was cold, it had a different feeling.
Wang Dahai didn't care too much about Bai Xiao and Gao Ping's injuries, and didn't even ask a word, so he asked Gao Ling to take them to pick up the ashes in person.
"Anyway, Shiraishi's dead soul has been captured by the surnamed He, you shouldn't be in danger!"
Gao Ling, the main spirit of the mountain villa, was summoned away by Wang Dahai's envoy without any authority at this moment.
And after the three elves left, Gao Ping's originally tangled mood fell into confusion at the moment.
"Are you still thinking about last night?"
Gao Ping looked at Bai Xiao suspiciously, and instantly understood something: "Didn't you faint at that time?" β
Bai Xiao nodded: "No!" After I was attacked, I pretended to pass out. Because I have to wait until the elves who attacked me show up. β
In fact, until the end, no elf found out that Bai Xiao was pretending.
And Wang Dahai, the only one who could be found, didn't care about these things that were not important to him at all.
Bai Xiao's hand patted Gao Ping's shoulder: "No matter what the facts are, I can see one thing - Miss Gao Ling's feelings for you are true." β
Gao Ping smiled bitterly: "The two of us seem to be master and servant, but in fact, since I was a child, I have regarded her as a sister, and she has always regarded me as a sister." Especially after Uncle passed away ten years ago, we each became each other's only pro-elves. β
"What about the rest of the Gao family's elves?" Bai Xiao asked tentatively.
"It's a different relationship." Gao Ping replied: "Especially in the Gao family!" β
......
There it is again.
In the same place, Wang Dahai and Dongmen are already visiting for the fourth time.
After passing through there not far away, Wang Dahai and the other elves followed Gao Ling to the pavilion.
"Miss Gao has practiced?"
Judging from Gao Ling's inadvertent skills along the way, Dongmen concluded: "Miss Gao's level should not be low." β
"Mom and Dad died early!" Gao Lingyan said: "So I learned some self-defense skills under my uncle's arrangement. β
After a hasty answer, the three elves quickly arrived at the ashes in a directional hurry.
It's just that......
Gao Ling frowned as soon as he got there.
"Has an elf moved?"
Gao Ling said with certainty.
In order to protect this place, this is almost a forbidden area of the Blue Sea Villa. Very few elves have made it here, let alone found the place where the ashes were buried.
According to Gao Ling, the large stones covering the ashes were indeed moved by the elves.
"Strange question?" As soon as Dongmen spoke, he shook his head: "I remember!" After all, it was your father who braked the Shiraishi couple by mistake, so it should not be too eye-catching to the elves. β
Gao Ling immediately understood the meaning of Dongmen's words, and immediately retorted: "Mr. Dong is wrong! My father didn't try to hide it. The reason why this is the case here is entirely because my father deliberately arranged it this way. β
said that he found a powerful feng shui master at that time to show it, and said that the best way to 'bury in a different place' is the best.
If you don't erect a monument, you don't show it.
Even if it's a burial in a different place, it shouldn't be like this!
Wang Dahai and Dongmen glanced at each other, and did not directly say what was in their hearts.
Wang Dahai immediately handed over the lime soil mixed with the ashes he had taken from the back mountain to Dongmen.
Next, he needs to identify whether the ashes are real or not.
After the east gate took out the two jars of ashes buried under the stones, they were shown to cover them with a black cloth prepared in advance, and after reciting the scriptures there silently twice.
He put the white ash soil aside, and then said to Wang Dahai: "You have to have a sense!" β
Wang Dahai pointed to the white ash soil and asked, "Isn't the induction enough?" β
Dongmen said, "It might be better to add another one!" β
"Is there a flute?" Wang Dahai immediately asked Gao Ling: "It's best to use it before Bai Shiya's death!" Your dad is so guilty that he should keep it. β
The reason why he asked this was because Shiraishi's deceased soul played the flute every time he appeared, so he should have been an elf who loved to play the flute during his lifetime.
Gao Ling replied, "Yes! The relics of Uncle Shiraishi and the elves of Shiraishi are all available! β
Wang Dahai said: "If there is a white stone husband elf, it is even better!" β
The three elves left the top of the mountain with the ashes.
Quickly returned to the residential area of Bihai Villa. In an inconspicuous house, Wang Dahai and Dongmen saw the so-called relics.
The house was all covered in white cloth, and there were very few elves here.
Gao Ling said that this was the room of Gao Tu before his death, and he had always kept the relics of the White Stones and his wife in the house.
Inside a storage room, a large box was slowly filling in pieces.
It's all about Ya Shiraishi and his husband.
Wang Dahai took out two flutes from there, one black and the other white.
The black is the white stone's, and the white is the white of the white stone's elf.
Wang Dahai turned around and took the white flute to the ashes that he brought back all the way from the east gate.
After playing a song towards the ashes......
There was no response.
To be exact, Shiraishi's ashes did not react, but the ashes of the Shiraishi Elf had a lot of abnormal movements.
The east gate on the side sensitively heard the strangeness in the song: "This flute sounds the same as the previous one, but there are differences!" β
He paused for a moment, and immediately thought of somethingβ"Crack space!" β
Wang Dahai signaled to him, and Dongmen got up to leave: "It seems that I have to quickly contact this guy Ankang to come over!" β
"This suspicion has been confirmed!" Wang Dahai said: "It's best as soon as possible!" β
The two elves looked mysterious for a while, so that Gao Ling on the side couldn't figure out what was going on at all.
