Chapter 16: The Corpse Thief The Great Sword of Thanksgiving to the Venerable Scholar Shendi
Wakeing is a custom in rural areas, although the bodies of several members of the Liu family cannot be buried, but the juniors of the Liu family have already dressed in linen and filial piety, and are ready to wake the spirit.
If they were there, Li Lin and I would definitely get in the way when we caught that thing, and the whole Liu family probably knew about Yin Village.
In the past, I followed my second uncle out, and in order to maintain a sense of mystery, my second uncle would talk about the serious problem and then take all the family members away, but he led me to sleep in the mourning hall.
It's just that the Liu family is a pedestrian, and they are not so easy to deceive, and the second uncle's set is definitely not good.
After thinking about it, I had to find Xie Guangcai.
Li Lin and I came out, I went to find Xie Guangcai, Li Lin stood on the stone ridge at the door, coughed twice, attracted his eyes, and then opened his throat and said: "Uncle Liu and several uncles died a little strangely, tonight will definitely not be peaceful, you also know, this kind of thing is to scold the corpse, the walking corpse is to attract popularity, the more popular, the more fierce the corpse will be." In my opinion, you juniors who keep the spirit don't have to stay in the mourning hall. If you want to be filial, there will be an opportunity tomorrow and the day after tomorrow! ”
As I thought, Li Lin chattered, and no one bought it. After all, the Liu family is also a yin keeper, if it weren't for their own relatives who died, they could guard the yin themselves.
As for whether the Liu family also has two lights, I don't know.
I had already found Xie Guangcai at this time, and I had something to ask him, I was a lot polite, and called out to Uncle Xie and said: "I am also guarding the yin for the first time, and I am a little timid, I am afraid that if some places do not do well, the Liu family will find me trouble!" ”
Xie Guangcai pondered for a while, and probably felt that what I said made sense, after all, the Liu family's style was led by Liu Guozhu, and he was used to being domineering in the village, and he was going to fight and kill at every turn. He nodded, knocked the table a few times with the cigarette pot, and then said, "Then listen to Li Lin and Ding Ning, the two of them are guarding, and the others will go back, and they will come over at dawn tomorrow." ”
The funeral work is presided over by the village chief, and the Liu family usually yells at Xie Guangcai, but there is a big incident in the clan, and Liu Guozhu is not there, and they are not confident enough. The head of the Liu family also said a few words, and the Liu family gradually dispersed.
Seeing people leaving, I said to Xie Guangcai again: "Uncle Xie, you don't have to accompany me anymore, Li Lin and I can do it." You go back and ask the Liu family to get us something to eat, preferably broth. ”
I've been sucked in yang energy, and I have to make up for it. Otherwise, it's really like what the second uncle said, if you lose a mouthful, you don't know how to die.
Xie Guangcai frowned, reluctantly. I looked at it and hurriedly said, "Uncle Xie, you haven't been up the mountain today, and the sheep at home are starving, hurry up and go home and take a look, just have me here." ”
Rural people, the livestock at home is all the belongings, sloppy, Xie Guangcai usually takes care of his sheep is meticulous, afraid of cold in winter and hot in summer, today is busy for a day, it is estimated that the sheep have not been fed. When I said this, he couldn't stand on his own, told us to be careful, and hurried away.
As soon as Xie Guangcai and the people who kept the spirit of the Liu family left, there were only the main and helpful people in the courtyard, and the chores were arranged until nine o'clock, and those people left.
The people are empty, and the lonely lights in the courtyard are gone. There were seven dead bodies lying in the hall, and the visual impact was still very strong, but Li Lin and I had something in our hands, and we had a lot of courage, so we took advantage of the absence of the Liu family to drill in and out, and turned over all the rooms again.
I didn't find anything I wanted, I just turned out some money, and I didn't know what Liu Guozhu was doing outside, the money was all 100 yuan bills, and there were several bundles.
We didn't dare to take it, so we put it back in place. After tossing, I checked the talisman on Uncle Liu's chest again, basically I couldn't see it anymore, I trembled in my heart, took out the red line circle given to me by my second uncle, and tied all the corpses hand and foot with Li Lin first.
After all, I don't have the speed and strength of my second uncle, and when the corpse changes, I may not be even.
After I finished doing it, I found a knife, closed my eyes and asked Li Lin to help me bleed on my middle finger, and got a small half of the lamp's blood. In my experience, it's okay to order for two hours.
The second uncle said that the soul-destroying lamp could not be lit for more than two hours, and I pondered that Uncle Liu's corpse would change within half an hour, and the time was just right.
Seeing that the jade lamp was lit, Li Lin's eyes widened, and I smiled mysteriously without telling him the reason.
At this time, the people of the Liu family came to bring us food, and Xie Guangcai was not at ease, so he also followed, carrying a gong and mallet in his hand. Seeing that I had lit the jade lantern, he nodded with satisfaction, put the mallet and the gong at the door, and told us to strike hard if we had something.
Da Luo is an important communication tool in our village, knock hard, you can hear it within a few kilometers around, as long as you hear the sound of gongs, the whole village will come as fast as possible.
After explaining, Xie Guangcai left with the people of the Liu family.
Knowing that something is going to happen and something that happens suddenly are completely different things in my heart. Now Li Lin and I are more relaxed, we just need to take a look at the jade lantern from time to time to see if there is any change.
The Liu family is also worthy of being a wealthy family, and they brought a big pot of chicken, but the stew was not too cooked, and it was a bit troublesome to eat.
But just when Li Lin and I were busy dealing with the chicken in our hands, the lights in the yard and the house went out at once, and it was suddenly pitch black, only the pale cyan halo of the jade lamp, which illuminated the corpse's face a little pale, as if it would jump up at any time.
Li Lin was stunned and hurriedly said: "It's okay, my father said that evil things can affect electromagnetism, but in that case, the first thing that appears is an unstable flicker, and it will not be extinguished at once, I guess it is now a power outage or a burning of the insurance." ”
After listening to Li Lin's words, I breathed a sigh of relief, and went over to check the talisman on Uncle Liu's corpse with an oil lamp, and it was almost impossible to see it, but as long as it did not disappear completely, its power should still be there.
As for the others, I'm still not sure if they were possessed by grimaces, but it stands to reason that when the daughter-in-law returned to Yin Village, those things should not dare to run out.
Of course, this is just my guess, and I can't do it. After all, I don't know the situation in Yin Village.
The electric switch of Liu Guozhu's house is on the wall at the gate, and the last time we pulled the wall, we glanced at it. Li Lin and I played flashlights, and the cat stretched and shrunk over.
When I got closer, I shone it with a flashlight, and sure enough, the electric switch was pulled. Li Lin didn't react, and scolded in his mouth: "This is that dog day, deliberately scaring us!" The position of the electric switch was too high, and Li Lin scolded and looked around for the stairs, but my face changed suddenly, and I yelled that it was not good, and I turned my head and went straight to the hall.
From the time I went out to the time I reacted, it took only two minutes to rush to the door of the hall and just bump into a man dressed in black, who was just about to go out with Uncle Liu's body on his back.
He probably didn't expect me to come back so quickly, so he was slightly stunned, hugged the corpse with one hand, and smashed a punch into my head. The strength of an adult, if you are hit, you will have to faint on the spot.
But he was much taller than me, and he was aiming at my head, and I squatted down to avoid it.
Li Lin also followed from behind at this time, and when he saw someone stealing the corpse, he stretched out his hand to grab the gong and mallet at the door. Seeing this, I hurriedly shouted, "Can't knock!" ”
As soon as the gong sounded, the people in the village arrived in a few minutes, and they could catch it, but our plan was over.
When Li Lin heard this, he just grabbed the mallet, jumped up and smashed it at the head of the man in black. Li Lin is big, and his strength is not much worse than that of ordinary adults.
The man in black didn't dare to take it hard, and was forced to retreat a few steps by Li Lin, and the probe took out a talisman from his arms, and with a shake of his hand, the talisman flew straight towards Li Lin, and on the way, the talisman paper spontaneously combusted, and the flames exploded.
Li Lin screamed in fright, and hurriedly lifted the small coffin he was carrying around his waist to block his face, and at the same time opened the lid of the coffin, I didn't see what was inside, I saw a few starlight flashes, and the rune fire was extinguished at once, and with a whoosh, it was put into the small coffin together with the fu.
I was shocked, this kid really didn't brag. But now is not the time to be surprised, I took advantage of the fact that the man in black was also stunned by the seven-star coffin, hurriedly rolled on the spot, turned over to the table where the jade lamp was placed, copied the jade lamp in my hand, and flicked my fingers at the lamp flame, and a white and cyan flame immediately flew out.
The man in black had his back to me, but the back of his head looked like he had eyes, and he turned sideways to avoid it. The flames flew past him and scraped the shoulders of the corpse behind him, and Uncle Liu's corpse suddenly convulsed and let out a scream at the same time.
The fire was extinguished when it reached the door, but the black shadow heard the screams of the corpse on his back, and hurriedly let go and threw the corpse, and the person rolled on the ground, stood up by the window, knocked on the wooden window and turned out, the whole action was smooth, and Li Lin and I were dazzled, and when I reacted, the man in black had already gone outside.
Li Lin held the seven-star coffin, and I held the lamp and chased after it in a panic.
As a result, the black shadow ran to the wall and kicked it with both feet, and the five-meter-high wall flipped over with a whoosh. Li Lin and I stopped at the same time, and Li Lin said with an ugly face: "My good man, he knows martial arts!" Good thing we didn't chase! ”
I heard the second uncle say that those who know martial arts may not necessarily do Taoism, but those who know Taoism will definitely do martial arts. It's just that I've seen Zhang Shuang, Zhang Lang and Liu Guozhu, looking at them like that, they don't look like people who know martial arts, so they ignored them.
Now it seems that in the short confrontation in the mountains, they were all frightened by their daughters-in-law, and they did not show their skills.
After making sure that the man had escaped, Li Lin went to lock the door, and when he came back, he cursed in his mouth: "I don't know that the idle egg hurts, and a corpse will be stolen." ”
I have almost guessed the identity of the man in black, Uncle Liu's corpse has a grimace, and the only one who needs this thing the most is Liu Guozhu and them, the size of the person just now, and his movements when he used the paper talisman, it is likely to be Zhang Lang.
Call!
I exhaled softly, and the bad feeling in my heart was even heavier. It's been like this from the beginning, and as things continue to develop, I'm afraid the people we meet will only get worse and worse. If we hadn't had the seven-star coffin and the jade lamp this time, we might have been in a fight.
I can't tell you about Zhang Shuang and Zhang Lang for a while, but now that I say it, Li Lin will definitely get to the bottom of it. Just don't say it.
After breathing a sigh of relief, Li Lin and I walked towards the hall.
As a result, as soon as he stepped on the threshold, as soon as he looked up, he saw Uncle Liu standing upright at the door, his eyes revealing a fierceness under the light of the jade lamp.
I subconsciously lifted the lamp, and when the light shone on it, I saw that Uncle Liu had a black talisman drawn on his face.
