Chapter 15: The Shadow Walker

When I was in the mountains, my daughter-in-law told me that I couldn't sense the red coffin, and I just thought it was being suppressed by Mrs. Liu.

But now, the coffin that was supposed to be in Liu Guozhu's house is gone.

My heart was in turmoil all of a sudden, but I still held on to the last hope, and took advantage of the chaos of the Liu family to search all the houses, but the red coffin was still missing.

If the red coffin is in Liu Guozhu's house, I can still find a way to come back. But now that the shadows are gone, where am I going to find them?

When he was in a hurry, there was a sudden commotion in the courtyard, followed by the sound of the Liu family crying and shouting. Li Lin and I came out to take a look, and saw that the people in the village had carried out five more corpses from the backyard.

It was the Liu family who died, and I still remember the night when Mrs. Liu appeared, and these five people were next to him.

I went to the front and looked around, and the five bodies had wide open mouths, bulging eyes, and no wounds on their bodies.

Grandma Liu and Uncle Liu died only a few days ago, and now five more lives have been added, and the family surnamed Liu suffered such a blow, and for a while the relatives cried, and the clan was angry.

Several young people from the Liu family who had been wandering outside gathered together, holding sticks and machetes in their hands, and shouted around with red eyes: "Who is it, who is so bad that we have the surname Liu, stand up for Lao Tzu!" ”

As soon as they made a fuss, the surrounding villagers quieted down.

Xie Guangcai stood in front of the rows of dead corpses, smoking a cigarette pot, he was so engrossed in thinking about things that he didn't notice that the cigarettes in the bucket were extinguished.

Several cousins of the Liu family made a fuss for a few minutes, and Xie Guangcai knocked on the cigarette pot bag on the sole of his shoe, and said: "Let Ding Shilong come to guard the yin tonight, and the juniors of the Liu family will go to the town to call the police!" The corpse was left untouched. It's not peaceful in the village these days, so don't go out and walk around at night. ”

After Xie Guangcai finished speaking, he pinched the cigarette pot bag, put his hands behind his back, and left with a heavy heart.

The Liu family lost their backbone, and a few more people died, and those who were a little older had no opinions, Xie Guangcai said a few words, and then spontaneously organized to take care of the deceased's funeral.

At this time, the onlookers were talking about Mrs. Liu, thinking that this old guy was miserable enough, he pretended to be dead for a few years, and within a few days of "coming back to life", he was really dead this time.

Li Lin pulled me, moved his mouth towards Xie Guangcai, and said, "Brother Ding Ning, look at that old sheep herd, without his master, his soul is gone." ”

I turned him around with my hand and told him not to talk nonsense, Xie Guangcai was like that, as if he was worried about what was going on.

Li Lin wanted to say something more, but Uncle Li suddenly appeared behind him, holding his ears and carrying a strip in his hand, which made his face turn white with fright.

"Little bunny, I'll let you be wild!"

Uncle Li's hand raised the tree strip, Li Lin jumped high at once, wow, cried dad and called his mother up, ran to the door, ran a few steps and jumped, it looked a bit exaggerated, but rural children are like this, adults are very ruthless, only screaming miserably, adults are reluctant to fight.

In fact, Uncle Li didn't want to beat him, just bluffed. This may have something to do with Li Lin's early loss of mother, and Uncle Li is also very good to him.

As soon as Li Lin left, I was crowded in the crowd. The old lady's body was put down. The elderly aunt in the village fetched hot water and prepared to collect Uncle Liu's body.

At this time, the Liu family also came out with a few old people who could take charge of things, and they discussed to find someone to walk in the shadows, and they discussed for a long time, but no one mentioned Liu Guozhu.

In this case, I won't take the initiative to talk about last night. However, they mentioned the matter of going to the shadow, which gave me a good inspiration. According to the old generation, the Yin walker can go down to the Yin Cao and see the soul of the deceased, so that he can directly ask who the murderer is.

Of course, the news obtained by this method does not become evidence, but it is undoubtedly a way for me.

Because if I want to find the red coffin, I must know who the murderer is, and the methods of the Xuanmen often do not leave any evidence, and the people from the township may not be able to find out.

I secretly wrote down this incident, and when I turned around, I went to the hall to see a few aunts cleansing Uncle Liu.

The fat man said that he sealed the grimace in Uncle Liu's body, and I didn't see anything like a Dao talisman on the way, it was probably on the corpse.

That thing should still be of some use and can't be destroyed.

The adults avoided it, and I was a half-old child, and I watched from the sidelines when my aunts were about to clean the bodies. Uncle Liu's clothes were just pulled away, and I saw a red talisman on his chest, and hurriedly said, "Auntie, that talisman can't be removed." ”

The aunts usually burn incense and worship the Buddha, and they have to eat fast on the fifteenth day of the new year, so they are naturally no strangers to the Taoist charms. As soon as I said that, they immediately kicked me out.

When I arrived in the yard, I just saw the second uncle and Xie Guangcai coming in, Xie Guangcai still had a sad face, clicked the smoke pot in his hand, and was talking to the second uncle.

When I saw the second uncle, I shuddered. Thinking of Liu Guozhu's words, I felt a little uncomfortable, but no matter whether he harmed others or not, it was always my second uncle.

The second uncle also saw me at this time, and his face didn't change much, probably because he hadn't found out that I had stolen the jade lamp.

Walking next to me, the second uncle stared at my face, frowned and said, "Look at your dead appearance, the yang energy is almost gone, and you are being sucked twice, and your little life will be explained." After reprimanding me, he turned around and said to Xie Guangcai: "Old Xie, I see Liu Qiannian's spirit, so let Ding Ning guard it!" ”

"This ......" Xie Guangcai was stunned, looked at the second uncle with a cigarette stick, and said, "Shilong, Ding Ning is still a child, I'm afraid this matter is a little inappropriate, right?" ”

The second uncle said: "There is nothing wrong with it, he should also touch something." You say, don't you? Old Xie! The second uncle glanced at Xie Guangcai meaningfully.

Xie Guangcai's face sank, and he exhaled and said, "That's what you said!" In the future, this village will have to rely on him! ”

The village depends on me? Is that because of that luck?

There are a lot of people around, and I don't want to ask. As for letting me keep the shade, I still wish I could!

The second uncle told me: "Someone will come to the township tomorrow, and your Uncle Liu's business must be done tonight, remember, the soul-destroying lamp should not be lit for more than two hours, otherwise the backlash will burn your whole person dry." Come back early tomorrow and I'll take you to school. ”

I craned my neck and stuck out my tongue, it turned out that the second uncle knew. But he didn't mention the red coffin, and I didn't say it, after all, it was my daughter-in-law, not his daughter-in-law.

In the past, I begged him for help, but I didn't know anything, but now that I have a jade lamp, I naturally have to do it myself.

Seeing that I didn't speak, the second uncle took out a red thread from his pocket and threw it to me and said, "You have seen how to use it, scholars can use it, there are not many things for the Yin Keeper, you will figure it out yourself." ”

Throwing down this sentence, the second uncle was about to leave, and at this time, the head of the Liu family came over and asked the second uncle very enthusiastically: "Shilong!" Do you know a yin walker, introduce one. ”

The Liu family had a good attitude, and the second uncle said lukewarmly: "There is one in our village, but it is not easy to invite him." You look for it first, but you can't find it, I'm going to ask him. ”

After the second uncle finished speaking, he left without looking back. I was stunned, when did there be a yin walker in our village?

The uncle in charge of the Liu family is more than sixty years old this year, and at this time, he was as confused as me, frowning and muttering to himself: "Niuxin Village, when will there be a yin walker?" ”

Xie Guangcai came over at this time, patted me on the shoulder, spat out the old dry cigarette and said, "Baby, don't be afraid. Uncle is with you tonight! ”

I frowned in disgust and didn't say anything.

After going through so many things, I am much bolder, and the Liu family has a person who guards the spirit, so I don't need him to accompany me.

Xie Guangcai saw that I didn't pay attention to him, and he was not embarrassed, so he pulled his throat and announced: "Tonight's yin, Ding Ning will guard it, and all the relatives, friends and family members of the Liu family should cooperate as much as possible and handle things smoothly." ”

When the Liu family heard that I was guarding the yin, their faces were not good-looking, but the second uncle left, so they had to settle.

The dinner was prepared by the Liu family, and it slowly got dark after eating. The corpses also entered the hall and were laid out one by one, because there was still a public case, and there was no platform to burn incense and worship.

I was not very relieved, so I went to the hall to look at Uncle Liu's body, and several aunts were still very careful, and the talisman on her chest was still there, but it was much lighter than before. It is estimated that it will not be long before the talisman will be completely dissolved, and the thing will come out.

I was a little nervous at the thought of dealing with that thing alone. As a result, at this moment, someone suddenly patted me, so scared that I almost peed my pants, and when I looked back, it was Li Lin, who was still holding a small black coffin in his arms, looking at me shyly.

"You're stealing again?" My first reaction was to ask.

Li Lin ostentatiously held the small coffin in front of me, the coffin was the size of two palms, the workmanship was very exquisite, and the black on it did not look like lacquer, and there was no reflection in the light.

After I finished reading the strangeness, Li Lin said proudly: "My father heard that you want to guard the yin, so let me protect you." Don't underestimate this coffin, it's big! My father said that as long as it is not human, it can accept it, and it is as powerful as Taishang Laojun's treasure gourd! ”

I rolled my eyes, couldn't see his sneering appearance, pointed to the seven corpses in front of me and said, "They are not human now, you can take one and show me!" ”

Li Lin opened his mouth, his eyes rolling, as if he was thinking about how to stuff his body into a small coffin. At this time, I suddenly thought of a question and hurriedly asked, "You just said that it can take anything?" ”

"That's it!" Li Lin's tail cocked up again, and said, "My father said that it is called the Seven Star Coffin, and it was left ...... by Grandpa Taizu."

I didn't wait for him to finish, dragged him to a place where no one was, and whispered: "Uncle Liu still has a grimace on his corpse, we will use it to catch that thing tonight!" ”

The grimace on the corpse is related to Yin Village, if we can catch one and figure out what it is, it will be of great help to us to understand Yin Village, and maybe we can figure out what Liu Guozhu is looking for.

The important thing is that although the daughter-in-law said that she was the village chief and seemed to listen to her, she was very reluctant when she went back.

Li Lin and I hit it off, but if we want to catch that thing, we can't have people from the Liu family present, and this matter is still a little troublesome.
