Chapter 37: The Broken Statue
The foremen threw away the snacks in their hands, and I counted the time, and it was almost time, so I chose ten people to go in with me.
When I got to the entrance of the cave, I asked the workers outside to build a simple shed, as long as it could be protected from the light.
With a flashlight, I led people into the cave, and I didn't let him come in with him, but asked him to arrange people to build a shed outside.
For such a large brick kiln, it took half an hour to walk to the room of the kiln god.
It's just that when I walked in, all the snacks that were scattered at the mouth of the brick kiln last night had been collected here and placed in front of the kiln god.
I took out the incense and lit it on the ground, and then burned a handful of dark paper, and then carefully picked up the jar.
"Be careful, don't let the jar break." I commanded.
One of these altars was in each hand, and the remaining two were with me to prepare to take down the statue of the god of the kiln.
As a result, the statue of the kiln god shook, and when it was about to be lifted, there was an external force pulling, and I looked down and found that under the statue of the kiln god, an iron chain was tied, and there was a deep well underneath.
This is?
I pulled the chain, and found that there was a heavy weight underneath, and I couldn't lift it alone, and as I shook the chain in my hand, a fishy wind surged up, and it smelled very bad.
The statue of the kiln god could not be moved, so he could only invite the bones of these sacrificial children out first.
I take people out, walk at the end, and help them light the way out.
When I got out, I found that there were only seven jars on the floor, and one was missing.
And only nine of the people I brought with me came out.
I was walking at the back, and someone left the team in front of me, I should be able to see clearly, why was there one less all of a sudden.
Everyone noticed this problem and looked at me with a solemn face, and I turned my head to look inside the brick kiln, and there was no movement at all.
I looked at the seven jars on the ground, these baby imps didn't have the power to trap an adult, it seemed that there was something else in this brick kiln.
"Open all these jars under this shed, and clean out the bones."
With that, I returned to the brick kiln, listened to the movements around me, and walked to the cave of the kiln god.
With the help of the flashlight, I saw a figure kneeling in front of the kiln god in the distance, motionless, I called twice, and the person kneeling on the ground did not react in the slightest.
I slowly approached, and when I reached the door, a yin qi condensed behind me, and the ghost pestle in my hand unfolded, and with a wave behind me, a black shadow flashed and fell to the ground.
I flashed my flashlight and saw a translucent little girl lying on the ground, looking at me with a horrified expression.
"Big brother, don't come close, that thing is so fierce."
The little girl pointed to the kiln god behind me and said, this kiln god statue is indeed hideous, even adults are shocked when they see it, let alone children.
It seems that this little girl is also one of the poor people who were sacrificed.
"It's okay, he can't beat me."
After I finished speaking, I took out the gourd and prepared to suppress it, after all, it is a complete ghost, and there may be a next life if I overdo it.
It's just that before I could make a move, a black gas rushed out from behind me, enveloping the little girl's ghost and taking it away.
And that black gas was directly swallowed by the kiln god.
That's right, just swallow it.
I looked at the statue of the kiln god, approaching step by step, and the worker kneeling on the ground, still holding a complete jar in his arms.
I continued to scream a few times, but found that the worker did not move at all.
I gave a thumbs up, put it in my mouth and bit it, then slammed the worker's eyebrows.
Who I am, I'm there.
I looked at him and frowned at the soul's question, and after seeing my gloomy face, the worker almost threw the jar in his arms to me.
Fortunately, I was just confused, and I was not taken out of my soul.
Taking him out, I thought of the ghost of the little girl, and the seven jars outside had been opened, four women and three men, depending on the size of the bones, the youngest was one year old and the oldest was no more than three years old.
That's not right.
The sacrifices to the kiln gods should be all virgins and boys, and these eight jars should be four pairs of men and women.
At that time, in front of the kiln god, what I saw was clearly a little female ghost.
Looking at the last unopened tube, I opened it with my own hands.
The mud seal was broken, and a piece of yellow paper was revealed, it was a yellow talisman, but the rune on it was not clear to see, and I couldn't tell what it was.
Tear off the talisman, open the jar, and clean out the white bones inside, which are the white bones of the boy.
Could it be that there are still the bones of the children who were sacrificed in the brick kiln.
I sighed, these are all living statements, they were used for sacrifice at a young age, how can I bear it.
"Mr. Gao, please let someone buy ten small coffins, these bones can't be exposed for too long, first use a yellow cloth to help them shade the sun."
Kaohsiung did not refuse, and asked people to buy it immediately.
Looks like I'm going to have to make another trip to the brick kiln.
Familiar with the road, I came to the kiln god, and there were no jars around me. Chinese bar
After looking around for a few rounds, in the end my eyes could only fall on the body of this kiln god, I don't know what is under the statue, and I don't know what will happen if I destroy the statue of this kiln god.
If this kiln god is really a god, how can it enjoy the sacrifice of the living.
Demons are demons.
I clenched the pestle in my hand and smashed it with a stick at the head of the idol of the kiln god.
The head of the idol split apart and fell to the ground, and the ghost pestle in my hand swung down again, tearing down the idol of the kiln god by dividing it by two.
The iron chain of the base of the idol also fell to the bottom of the well, and then a fishy smell came out, I picked up a piece and threw it down, and there was a muffled sound, and there should be groundwater or something below.
Behind the statue, there is also a wall made of bricks, and the bricks are removed, and it turns out that inside, in a small space, there are two clay pots side by side, the difference is that there are yellow talismans on this clay pot, and the runes are extremely clear.
I've never seen this yellow charm at all.
Carefully putting away the yellow charm, I took out the two jars.
Now it seems that everything is over.
By the time I carried the jars out of the brick kiln, ten small coffins had already been delivered.
After all these little ones were placed in the coffin, it was already dark, but no one was in a very good mood, such a young child suffered such treatment, who could bear this pain.
The coffin was carried to the open space on the other side of the board room and covered with a yellow cloth. Tomorrow morning, I'll go around and see if there are any suitable spiritual caves for them to bury.
"I didn't expect that the feudal society was so ruthless, and it was hateful to use children to sacrifice." Kaohsiung sat at the dinner table and said fiercely.
Who says it's not, I'm afraid that the origin of these children is not clean, and no parent will be ruthless and take out their children for sacrifice.
I looked at the wine cup in my hand, and didn't answer Kaohsiung's question, since I placed the bones of these children, I began to feel uneasy, and I always felt that something bad was going to happen.
As for what's going to happen, I can't really say yet.
"Jiang Chen, I didn't expect that you are not very old and your ability is not small, I underestimated you a little."
"I have already sent your card number to the treasurer, and I believe it will be in your account soon."
"There's one more thing I'd like to discuss with you."
I look at Kaohsiung, the problem here has been solved, what else is the matter?
"If you have anything to say, Mr. Gao will say it directly."
Hearing me say this, Kaohsiung is not beating around the bush.
"The feng shui gentleman in my hand is crazy, he can't be used by me anymore, Zheng Nan is cultivating in Wudang, so it is naturally impossible to be bothered by these mundane things, this time I am sorry, I am afraid it will be difficult to invite me again."
"I'll just say it bluntly, if you are interested in coming to my subordinates to develop, I can provide all the resources for you to learn the art of Feng Shui, but you also have to help me deal with these things like Feng Shui, of course, including these things that I deal with today."
"As for the remuneration, it's definitely a number you can't refuse."
For ordinary people, it's definitely a high branch, but for me, it's not.
As much ability as a person is, he should eat as much as he should eat.
I know my ability, and the problem here happens to be something I can solve, so what if the problem I encounter next time is something I can't solve.
My realm is only on one grade, and those people in the Xuanxue Pavilion are probably better than me if they pull out any of them.
Moreover, there is still a ghost spell on me, and I am afraid that if we get along for a long time, it will be bad for me.
"I need to think about it." I declined Kaohsiung's invitation.
He is a capitalist, just like Ling Tonglin, I am afraid that in the end, he will be the same as Ling Tonglin, and it will be unfavorable to me.
Kaohsiung didn't expect that I would politely refuse, although there was disappointment on my face, but there was also appreciation.
"Okay, if you figure it out, you can call me at any time."
Kaohsiung said, handing my business card into my hand.
I put it away and drank it down.
This dinner, after nine o'clock in the evening, everyone drank a lot, and I only drank two small glasses, one is that I can't drink, and the other is that I always feel that something is going to happen tonight, and that feeling is very strong.
"Wait, you guys listen outside, is there a cry?"
I don't know who said that, but everyone sat up straight and looked at me.
I listened carefully to the movement outside, and there was indeed a cry, and the sound should be from the mouth of the brick kiln.
The people who were still drunk came to their senses one by one.
"What is this?" Kaohsiung looked at me with a horrified expression.
I walked to the door and opened it, and the murky cry became clearer.
This voice came from the mouth of the brick kiln, everyone stood at the door, a cold swept over, and everyone couldn't help but shiver.
"It doesn't sound like a child's." Kaohsiung looked at me and spoke.
I nodded, the voice was obviously an adult's, a child's voice was not so strong, and it was a man's cry.
"What about Lao Zhao, Lao Zhao is gone."
After I heard it, I looked back, there were only these people here, but Lao Zhao's figure was missing, and listening to this cry, it was really similar to Lao Zhao's voice.
