Chapter 554: Forbidden Technique
The rare jade antiques alone are packed in two trunks, so it is conceivable how He Jianghai valued this villa during his lifetime.
But this also proves that He Jianghai will not easily let outsiders enter that place.
I'm afraid that even Lu Zichen hasn't set foot much, although Yuri has been there a few times, but this does not mean that she can touch any important clues.
But how did she manage to depict the whole villa?
If she hadn't walked around the villa carefully, how would she have known that there was a cistern underneath it?
Even if Luo Xiaozhou brought people in at the beginning, they only discovered the trenches outside, and if it weren't for the reminder of Yuri's map, they wouldn't have found out that there were such deep secrets hidden inside.
But Natia was also puzzled, and she really couldn't tell Su Yangzi anything, after all, all the things that Yuri did at the beginning were only known to her later, and there were even many things that she didn't know until Yuri died.
Su Yangzi sighed, forget it, he thought, maybe Natia didn't know these things, so he didn't ask any more.
"Oh, yes." Su Yangzi suddenly remembered another thing, "In that newly discovered cistern, we found a skeleton, it was a pregnant woman, and the woman died before the child could be born. ”
Just listening to Su Yangzi's words, Natia shuddered.
How much hatred is this, it can kill a pregnant woman and throw it away in a place that will not be easily discovered, if Luo Xiaozhou hadn't discovered that map this time, I'm afraid it wouldn't have been found in another ten years.
"But to my surprise, we found something strange about that skeleton."
Natia raised an eyebrow, "What?" ”
"It's a long iron nail."
Su Yangzi roughly measured it with his hand, "I heard from the forensic doctor that the iron nail is very thin, but the tip of the nail is densely engraved with all kinds of strange symbols. ”
The nails are thin, but they can be carved with symbols, so they must have worked hard, Natia thought in her mind.
Wait, she suddenly remembered something.
Seeing the sudden change in Natia's expression, Su Yangzi realized that she probably knew this kind of thing, so he hurriedly asked.
"What do you think of?"
"I only thought about it a little, it was told to me by an old man over there when I was an undercover agent on the China-Myanmar border, of course, it was only a little bit, I don't know if it can help you."
"But it doesn't hurt for you to say it."
Natia carefully recalled it before slowly speaking, "I remember meeting an old woman over there at that time, and her family is a longevity material. ”
Su Yangzi frowned, isn't that just a coffin for the dead, shrouds, paper money or something?
"But the old woman's best thing is to tie paper." Natia adds, "I heard her say that people feel lonely when they die, and they want the people they care about to accompany them, so those paper figures are used as a stand-in to accompany the dead people underground." ”
This makes people feel strange, Su Yangzi couldn't help but show a somewhat unbelievable expression when he heard it.
Although he is an atheist, he has probably heard some strange rumors on the rivers and lakes.
It was what Su Yangzi heard, but it was a completely different version.
If the deceased person feels lonely and wants someone to accompany them, then the person who is approached will most likely get sick.
They do have a stand-in, but it's completely different from what Natia described.
Because the stand-in they heard was that after someone was approached, they would ask the immortal family to burn a stand-in of their own.
What Natia said was to take the initiative to be a stand-in to accompany the people who had already entered the ground.
Is there such a custom in this world? Su Yangzi felt a little incredible, isn't this unlucky?
Perhaps it is because the folk customs of each place are different, which is why there is such a strange saying.
But Su Yangzi believes that even if it is the border between China and Myanmar, it is still in China's territory after all, is their customs so unique?
After Su Yangzi asked the doubts in her heart, Natia shook her head.
"Actually, it's not, this kind of thing has never been accepted by the public, and people over there also say it's a kind of evil art."
Before, Su Yangzi felt that the nail in the woman's head was very similar to evil magic, and when he heard Natia say this, he was even more confirmed.
But as for whether these evil arts are useful or not, or simple feudal superstition, Su Yangzi does not know.
"Don't worry, there's more to come." Natia said to Su Yangzi soothingly, "I was also young at that time, and I liked to listen to these strange stories the most, so I communicated with that mother-in-law a few times. ”
At first, Natia was just learning to tie paper with the mother-in-law, but the two of them talked about the deed, and the old woman had no children and no daughters, and felt that her mantle was not inherited, so she wanted Natia to follow her to learn this kind of thing.
In order to show her sincerity, she revealed to Natia that in addition to the ability to be a stand-in for the paper man, she also has another unexpected ability.
She showed Natia a box of rusty nails, which were covered with brownish-red rust, and as soon as she opened the lid of the box, Natia smelled a strong fishy smell.
It's not just the smell of rust, it's the smell of blood.
Natia felt a little strange at the time, and wanted to leave, but the old woman was really enthusiastic, and Natia couldn't shirk it, so she could only listen to her continue.
She told Natia that it was a forbidden technique, and that the symbols on the nails represented control.
He nailed these into a man's skull, and his soul was to be controlled by the man who chiseled the nail for the rest of his life.
Su Yangzi listened to it from the side, only feeling shuddering, what kind of mess is this?
Now people pay attention to a science, and now they do it, as a policeman, he is here to discuss metaphysics with Natia? He also thought it was a bit too nonsense.
Natia shook her head at him, "It's not over yet, I was scared and left." But who knew that in just two days, the mother-in-law died, and I saw that she had no children and no daughters all her life, and she had been a paper figure for a lifetime, and in the end she didn't even have a person to bury her, so she went on her own. ”
After Natia arranged the old woman's funeral, she was curious, so she secretly glanced at the box of nails.
