Chapter VIII. Soul Curse

1

The woman was obese and weighed twice as much as Sang Xiaoge.

Sang Xiaoge only had time to let out a half-scream before he was choked by the fat hands.

"Meow!"

Mr. Lan let out a non-intimidating roar, and jumped to the woman's face. It was furious, angry that it had lost its spiritual power, so that such a small resentful spirit could exert its might in front of it. It was also very depressed, depressed that it had devoured those demons the night before, and the little power it had left at this time was also unable to use because it had to "digest" those demons! It's like an adult suddenly being shrunk down to an inch in size, being chased and bitten by their own pet hamster.

However, although Mr. Lan can't help the woman who was put on the body now, it still played some role when it jumped on the woman's face. Although the woman was still holding Sang Xiaoge's neck with both hands, because she was confused, she fell from the bed to the ground, and her body collided, knocking over all the tables and chairs next to her, and the water cup on the table fell to the ground, making a series of sounds.

Hearing the half-exclamation of the old lady in the house, Xiao Dezi at the door was the first to rush in. The situation in front of him made him panic for a while, but after all, it was the old sister who was in danger, he held back his fear, reached out and took out a paper bag from the canvas bag, rushed over, lifted the tail of the cat on the woman's face with his right hand, and slapped the paper bag on the mouth of the grinning woman with his left hand!

2

This was in the afternoon when he was mixing and making those props, and Mr. Lan trained him through Sang Xiaoge.

Generally, the most supernatural events that occur in white things are ghosts. For isolated parasitic souls, a four-to-three-to-two-to-one mixture of sea salt, quicklime, cinnabar powder and realgar powder has a strong sealing effect.

Sure enough, when the paper wrap was dissipated from the woman's mouth, the woman suddenly stopped going crazy, and her body fell stiffly like a stick, and fell to the ground with a "bang".

Her hands still tightly pinched Sang Xiaoge's neck, causing Sang Xiaoge to fall to the ground as well. It took a lot of effort for the sister and brother to break the woman's hands, and Sang Xiaoge knelt on the ground, panting desperately. And Mr. Lan was still standing on the woman's forehead, stretched out his paws to test it, and said in a somewhat impatient voice:

"Sniff her out!"

Sang Xiaoge was startled, he couldn't take care of his hot and painful neck, and reached out to find that this woman was already breathing!

At this time, the third master and the woman's child, who had been waiting in the next room, as well as the two helpers, also rushed to hear the sound.

"Mom! What did you do to us? ”

The woman's daughter shouted and was about to pounce.

"Stop her!" Sang Xiaoge shouted sharply at the third master: "If you don't want to make trouble, just listen to my arrangement!" ”

The third master hurriedly asked the people around him to stop the woman's daughter, but the scene in front of him was really shocking, and he was a little at a loss.

3

At this time, Mr. Lan used Sang Xiaoge's mouth to convey a series of orders: "You all go out and wait at the door." Third master, you hurry up and find all the salt, vinegar and rice that you can find at home, rice and millet. Hurry, time is urgent! Xiao Dezi returned to the door and watched, no one could come in again! ”

When the outsiders in the room withdrew, Mr. Lan scratched the floor with his fingernails on the floor beside the woman.

"Pay attention to the order in which I draw. After a while, the things are brought in, and you scatter the thread in this order with rice. Now, take the bracelet off her arm first! ”

Sang Xiaoge took the serpentine bracelet from the woman's arm with great difficulty, and at this time the two young men also ran over with a few bags of salt, two large bags of rice, and two bottles of vinegar. However, the two were obviously warned by the third uncle, so they only arrived at the door and gave the things to Xiao Dezi to let him turn in.

Sang Xiaoge's memory was very good, she asked Xiao Dezi to carry the rice bag, and a handful of rice on the ground, according to the order that Mr. Lan drew just now, scattering lines.

"Fill the inside with a layer of salt."

Mr. Lan continued to command from the side.

"Alright, now put that bracelet inside the pentagram in the middle."

Sang Xiaoge Yiyan placed the bracelet in the center of the shape drawn with rice grains and table salt on the ground.

It was very strange that when the bracelet was placed in the center of the pattern on the ground, the pattern on the entire ground actually emitted a burst of light at the same time. At the same time, a puff of black smoke suddenly came out of that bracelet, and the black smoke condensed into an ugly image, and suddenly rushed towards Sang Xiaoge!

4

"Whew......"

The figure let out a strange scream, and the whole body brought out a wave of air, and the whole room was cloudy, but not a grain of rice or salt was blown by the spell on the ground. It's just that the overall brightness of the spell suddenly became stronger, and the figure trapped in the spell let out a painful sound, and scattered into muddy smoke again.

"Pour vinegar into the innermost shape! Right now! ”

With Mr. Lan's arrangement, Sang Xiaoge poured a bottle of vinegar in one hand into the shape of a five-pointed star in the middle. The whole room was suddenly filled with a strong smell of acetic acid, but the vinegar did not fall to the ground, but in the air close to the ground, fused with the black mist, making the original void smoke become substantial, squirming in the center of the spell, looking extremely painful.

The scene looks magical and eerie.

At this time, more than a dozen people, including the second uncle and the third uncle, stood at the door, stunned and watched the scene in the house, in addition to shock, including admiration for this young "female master".

"Ignition and retreat!"

Mr. Lan said, and at the same time, he took the lead in hiding in the distance.

Sang Xiaoge took out the matches he had prepared before from his bag, pinched out a few, swiped the ground, and threw them into the center of the spell, while his body quickly retreated backwards.

"Boom!"

5

The flaming match drew a parabola and fell on the vinegar mixed with black mist in the air, as if it had knocked down gasoline, and suddenly burned violently! At the same time, from the flames, there was a piercing and terrible scream, with deep resentment, resentment, and pain.

The original sour smell in the air turned into a strong smell in the flames, and even the people watching outside the door were smoked to tears.

The burning lasted about three minutes before it ended, and then the woman who had been lying on the ground silently, and several unconscious people in the next room, woke up at the same time, coughing violently.

"Carry her out, it's not over here."

Sang Xiaoge endured the violent nausea, first arranged for the outside to watch the excitement to move the woman on the ground away, and then asked Xiao Dezi to close the door.

The spell on the ground, the rice and salt that had been turned into a charred substance, stuck to the ground. Around the bracelet in the center, a thick layer of green ash was piled up.

"Little Dezi, put away these ashes and put them in the bottle in your bag. According to someone, it's all good stuff. ”

Sang Xiaoge arranged for his cousin to sweep the ashes, covered his mouth and nose with one hand, scooped up the fat cat on the ground with the other, and ran out of the house.

6

The second uncle and the third uncle are waiting outside the door.

Sang Xiaoge took out a small glass bottle with a wooden stopper and handed it to the fourth child next to the two old men: "Smell it for everyone who has been on the body, and don't smell it for others." When they spit it out, they'll be fineβ€”by the way, prepare the basin in advance so they don't vomit everywhere. ”

The fourth child carefully took the container the size of a perfume bottle and ran into the room next to him. The few who had just woken up were still coughing. He had some washbasins brought to them and placed them in front of them, uncorked them and put them under their noses for them to sniff.

Then, several people vomited violently. The people who were waiting next to him were horrified to see that there were clumps of white maggots wriggling in the foul-smelling vomit!

"Is this the end of the story?"

Sang Xiaoge put the hood of his coat on his head, the night wind was very cold, and then he realized that he was covered in sweat, and he was blown by the wind in the yard, and it was suddenly cold. She asked the fat cat.

"It's not over, there's the most important step."

Mr. Lan climbed onto her shoulder and stood firm, and said in a deep voice.

7

The so-called "most important step" is to demand the highest possible economic return after the labor is done.

And the other party's heart disease is gone, and at this time, the dependence on oneself and the fear of the event are decreasing, so the desire to give less money or even repay the debt may happen.

Therefore, often after this kind of big problem is solved, a little tail must be left. For example, the five people who were in a coma in this family, although the serious trouble has been removed, and after smelling the medicine, they vomited one after another, and most of the yin things in the body were discharged, but the body was weak, and the symptoms such as drowsiness would remain for a period of time. During this time, they need to send someone to the Institute of Unknown Events every week to pick up medicine. In this way, there will be no sequelae.

At the same time, Sang Xiaoge also warned the second uncle and the third uncle, although the ghost is scattered, but the resentment is deep, every time she takes the medicine, she will give another piece of talisman paper, and when she comes back, it will be burned into ashes mixed with clean water, and splashed on the entire house, so that the future trouble will be completely eliminated.

Especially after the first week, the whole family needs to drink the runic water once.

With the basic skills of "Internet writer", coupled with the fact that the incident itself is quite terrifying, Sang Xiaoge slightly polished it, which made the two old men afraid and worried for a while. Therefore, although the other party felt that the asking price was slightly higher, he still obediently increased the price that was promised to three times.

Then, the fourth child drove and sent the mysterious two people and one cat back to Xinling Bay.

8

Nothing was said all night.

The next morning, leaving Xiao Dezi, an Internet addict teenager, to play games in the "Research Institute", Sang Xiaoge lay on Mr. Lan on his shoulder and went up to the third floor with a paper bag. In the paper bag is 12,000 yuan, 20% of yesterday's income. Mr. Lan told Sang Xiaoge that this is the industry rule, and the commission for the introducer.

"It's not easy."

After knocking on the door, Mr. Lan and Sang Xiaoge stood at the door of the funeral supplies wholesale store, looking at the plaque that looked quite old. And the hidden meaning of these three words is introduced.

Chang Youdao was wearing a cotton robe, and his gray half-length hair was curled at the back of his head, and he opened the door with a smile on his face, and let this person and a cat into the Chang Fen said store.

As soon as you enter the door, there are all kinds of incense candles, paper money, spirit cards, spirit bone towers and other goods on the shelves on both sides, and a little bit inside are all kinds of paper people tied with bamboo sticks and colored paper. A young man who looked to be seventeen or eighteen years old was cutting strips in the corner.

"This is a distant nephew of mine who has just come to apprentice with me. He's mute, but his ears are good. ”

Chang Youdao gave a brief introduction, and led Sang Xiaoge to continue walking inside. There are three rooms in his shop, one and a half of which are storerooms, and the innermost is a very elegantly furnished tea room.

The reed foil ceiling is hung with a long white paper lamp; The three walls are made of hemp ash mixed with copper powder, which is plain and antique; Separated from the storehouse is a row of wooden windows from an old mansion that I don't know where to collect them; On one wall, there are two calligraphy and paintings, and on the other wall, two bluestone "Taiping Youxiang" carvings carry a long old house beam, which is the right to be a case. There is a strange statue on the table.

At the foot is the Yanshan shale slab paving, two door piers set up an old door panel as a tea table, incense is burned in the copper stove, and three chairs are surrounded by a stool.

Ask Sang Xiaoge to sit down, Chang Youdao picked up the teapot boiling on the charcoal stove from the corner of the tea table, and poured three cups of tea.

Only he sat opposite Sang Xiaoge, and he poured three cups of tea.

9

The water is Yanshan Longquan water, the tea is ten-year-old white tea, and the incense is authentic sandalwood.

Sang Xiaoge handed over the paper bag: "I earned 20% last night, thank you for your help." ”

Chang Youdao smiled and swept the thickness of the paper bag with the corner of his eye, and then looked at the fat cat who jumped onto the tea table from Sang Xiaoge's shoulder, and it was carefully sniffing the extra cup of tea at this time.

"I heard that Lao Zhao said what happened last night, and it was done beautifully! The old man really didn't see the wrong person! ”

Chang Youdao took a sip of tea, and still looked at Sang Xiaoge with that rather obscene demeanor.

"Miss Sang shouldn't be Han Chinese, right? Don't know who your apprentice is? ”

It is a common practice to meet and ask teachers on the rivers and lakes, and if you know which school, faction, and generation you are, you can determine the degree of interaction.

However, Mr. Lan had already decided on a response plan last night. Sang Xiaoge looked at the little old man, smiled and replied, "I am the Tujia family." ”

Ethnic minorities have their own way of inheritance, which is also recognized by the rivers and lakes, but the teachers and generations are not the same. Naturally, it is not possible to determine the bottom line through these.

"No wonder, no wonder! Listening to Zhao Er's description, I heard that your actions last night were amazing, and the technique was simple and effective, but it felt strange. Chang Youdao sighed, and he no longer tried to test in this regard.

They were cold to each other for three minutes. The old man and the girl were silently sipping tea, and naturally involuntarily looked at the fat cat sitting on the tea table, trying to taste tea with his tongue.

For a long time, you often laughed self-deprecatingly and said:

"This Xinling Bay Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! The girl is from the Tujia family, I'm afraid I don't know about our Chang family. ”

"It's too humble. Life is impermanent, death has a part, so it is said'. Your old name means that you have a lot of origins. ”

Sang Xiaoge played with the building lamp in his hand, trying his best to show his stability beyond his age: "The rules in our clan are that both boys and girls must go to the Central Plains to train for a few years when they become adults. After graduating from college, I was too lazy to change cities, so I opened a small shop here and operated miserably, and I will have to help me in the future. ”

Hearing Sang Xiaoge say the origin of his store name, Chang Youdao's eyes instantly flashed and disappeared. Then he returned to that humble and obscene smile and said, "Don't you dare to be!" Don't dare to be. I can't say that we will have to rely on your amazing means to bring us more benefits in the future. ”

10

In this boring polite conversation, Chang Youdao's face suddenly changed, and he asked, "Everyone, Sang, I don't know if you have heard of the changes in the two worlds in the past two days?" ”

"What's changed?" Sang Xiaoge didn't understand.

"The change of the two worlds."

Sang Xiaoge looked dazed, and subconsciously glanced at Mr. Lan, but the latter was lying on the tea table and napping, without any response.

Sang Xiaoge sat up straight, cleared his throat, and said to Chang Youdao:

"Mr. Chang, what 'everyone' doesn't dare to be, I'm just a junior, and my status in the family is equivalent to an intern, and I don't understand anything. The clan arranged for my generation to experience the rivers and lakes in order to increase knowledge. What you do is a white thing, and you are many years old, if you can say it, I hope you will not hesitate to teach. ”

Chang Youdao stared at Sang Xiaoge for a while, as if he was distinguishing between what she said was true or false. Immediately, as if he had made up his mind, he sighed and said:

"Do extraordinary things in extraordinary times, even if you laugh at me in your heart, I will still treat you as if you don't understand anything, and say it from the beginning."

11

"In my family's business, I am a 'postman' from the yang to the underworld. Responsible for transmitting the thoughts, prayers, and especially offerings of the deceased or ancestors to the underworld. I've been in business for a long timeβ€”as far as I know, I've been doing this for more than a hundred yearsβ€”so I know more about the affairs of the yin and yang worlds. Even some news from the underworld is known. ”

Chang Youdao's voice has become vicissitudes, even the temperament is different, and the obscene smile is not seen at all, only an unfathomable and profound vicissitudes.

"The message from the yang to the underworld can be conveyed through worship, prayers, incantations, etc. However, if you want to pass on anything from the underworld, it will be very difficult to come to the yang. Therefore, it is not difficult for a person to worship the underworld, but if you want to get feedback from the underworld, you need to pay a great price! ”

Through Mr. Lan's words, Sang Xiaoge also knows a little about these. So when I heard this, my face was very calm, except for a little curiosity in the depths of my eyes.

"But in the past few days, it seems that the boundary between the underworld and the yang world is becoming fragile. Especially since the day before yesterday, a large number of breaths from the underworld have appeared everywhere, and even extremely rare ghosts and resentful spirits have appeared in batches! However, at this time, the Fang Cheng Boundary Guard disappeared. ”

12

The city was formerly known as "Fangcheng", and in recent years it has been renamed "Rubik's Cube City". However, most of the people, especially the older ones, still call it "Fangcheng". However, what is the "Fangcheng Boundary Guard"?

Chang Youdao looked at Sang Xiaoge again, and saw that she didn't have anything special to say, so he had to continue to explain.

"Since the world is divided into yin and yang, and there is a law that yin and yang are not allowed to wander at will, someone must be responsible for supervising that this law is not broken by those lawbreakers. Therefore, in our Yang world, every city has at least one pair of 'boundary guards'. The Realm Guards are generally a man and a woman, and are mainly responsible for guarding the passages of the Yin and Yang worlds. Although generally speaking, the passage between yin and yang is one-way from the yang to the underworld, it is not excluded that there are some strong people in the underworld with special abilities, either retrograde from the passage, or from some unstable spatial cracks in the yin and yang worlds to force themselves here. The Guardian's job is to oversee the passages and chasms, and if they find the 'stowaways' coming to the Realm, they will cast their abilities to kill them! ”

"Uh-huh." Sang Xiaoge nodded to indicate that he understood, and could continue.

"I don't know what's going on in the underworld, Fang Cheng can be said to be a hundred ghosts walking at night these days. The chaos continues. In my memory, even the chaos more than fifty years ago was far less terrible than this one! What's more, now that the Fang City Boundary Guard has disappeared inexplicably, for those evil ghosts and resentful spirits in the underworld, this entire city is equivalent to being completely undefended! ”

When Sang Xiaoge heard this, although the surface was still light and light, he couldn't help but be secretly surprised in his heart. She pretended to look at Mr. Lan inadvertently, but the cat had now changed from lying on his hands to being paralyzed on all fours. Noticing that Sang Xiaoge was looking at it, it whispered in a snoring voice:

"You just ask him, you know all this, but what does it have to do with you?"
