Chapter 177: Haunted
Jiang Yifeng and I left the house one after the other, and after we went out, we split in two directions. He went to Liu's house to find Liu Yunfeng and asked him about the coffin. As for me, I went to Ge's house to find out about Ge Laohan.
When I went this time, it was still relatively bright because it was morning. But when I reached the gate of Ge's courtyard, I still found that his house was cold and cold, and I didn't hear any dog barking even when I was standing at the gate of their courtyard.
All of this made me feel that something wasn't quite right.
Looking down the courtyard door into the house, I felt only a chill, and then I saw the big black dog. He didn't know when he was lying on the ground motionless, looking like he was dead. And I have no doubt that he is actually very likely to be really dead.
In order to test whether the dog was still alive, I deliberately pushed the courtyard door and made a lot of noise. But the dog did not move at all, and still lay quietly on the ground, motionless.
Seeing this, I didn't bother to take a detour, so I went straight into the yard and walked in front of the dog.
Inside the house, Ge Laohan was still hanging there, and the bones in his hands were about to be broken by the wire. The light is still not very good, but if you want to see things clearly, it is still much stronger than lighting an oil lamp at night.
It was at this time that I noticed that on the wall facing the door of the hall, there was a talisman drawn.
I learned a lot about charms in my grandfather's notes, and naturally I had a certain understanding of charms.
I know that when drawing a talisman, it is generally divided into several parts, from top to bottom, it is the talisman head, the talisman gall, the talisman belly, the talisman feet, and the talisman seal.
Among them, the talisman represents the immortal invited when giving orders, and the talisman represents the immortal officials and immortals who are sent by the immortals to do things. The talisman belly is a task that needs to be completed, and the talisman foot is equivalent to the payment. As for the sigils, they can be seals engraved with the names of gods or mages.
This is the Taoist talisman used by regular Taoists, like us who have not been awarded the layman, who does not have a nominal official position in the heavenly court and the earth, then generally does not invite any genuine immortals, and the talisman used is much more than cutting corners than others.
For example, the one on the wall now has no talismans.
Like this kind of talisman, before using it, you must first recite the spell of 'the sky is round and the place is round, the nine chapters of the law, I write now, and ten thousand ghosts are hidden' in order to make the talisman effective.
I looked at the huge talisman for a long time, but unfortunately I didn't see anything. It's just that, according to my judgment, this talisman was definitely not made by a ghost.
One is because ghosts don't know this, and the other is because ghosts are naturally afraid of this, and evil ways are afraid of the right way, which is a heavenly principle that cannot be broken casually. So for this kind of thing, the little ghost avoids it, how can he manipulate Ge Laohan to draw this?
So, it was Ge Laohan who drew a talisman on the wall, trying to restrain the ghost, but was cleaned up by the ghost instead?
I took a closer look at Ge Laohan's appearance at this time, and gradually had some thoughts in my heart. The appearance of Ge Laohan and Hu Qifu kept overlapping in my mind, and the little shadow I saw kept breaking into my mind. In my heart, two things gradually came together.
That day, I stayed at Ge Laohan's house until sunset before returning home, and in the next few days, Jiang Yifeng and I went to Ge Laohan's house every day, and from time to time we also talked to Ge Laohan's soul.
Even if he doesn't answer me, or if he does, I can't hear it. But I could feel that the yin in the room was gradually not as heavy as it had been when I first arrived.
Come early, leave late, Jiang Yifeng is getting more and more impatient with this kind of thing.
Finally, he couldn't help it, and not far from Ge Laohan's house that evening, he asked me: "This kind of place where the yin qi is too heavy is not conducive to the living, don't you also know?" Do you need to come every day? ”
I knew he was going to ask me, but I didn't know how he could endure it until this time to ask me. When I heard him ask, I said to him without looking back: "The reason why dead people raise corpses is because they have resentment in their hearts and are unwilling to reincarnate. He must have been reluctant to die like this. For the safety of the villagers, it is impossible for me to put his body down for the time being. But I can slowly dissolve his resentment, and when the coffin is finished and he is buried, I can let him go to reincarnation. Let's hope it will go well! ”
"So, I'm quite understandable." Jiang Yifeng nodded, accepting my explanation. People like Ge Laohan, I help him, Jiang Yifeng can't think about it at all. But when I mentioned the villagers, he naturally thought about it.
When I got home that night, to my surprise, the village chief was already waiting for me at my house.
When I saw him, I was stunned for a moment, but then I remembered Hu Qifu's matter. If I'm not mistaken, the purpose of the village chief coming here is to find me to deal with the affairs of the Hu family.
Therefore, I spoke first: "Village chief, is it the Hu family who needs help carrying the coffin?" ”
Who knows, the village chief let out a long sigh, shook his head at me, and said, "It's the Hu family's business, but it's not for you to carry the coffin, but for you to catch ghosts!" ”
"Catching ghosts?" I couldn't help but wonder, "Why do you want me to catch ghosts?" Even if the case hasn't been solved yet, there is no need to catch ghosts, right? What the hell is going on? ”
Hearing this, the village chief sighed again, and he said to me: "The affairs of the Hu family, in fact, I am also hearsay. The police said that the original case was very clear. After all, Hu Qifu admitted that he killed himself, and the time of death of the three members of his family was exactly the same as what the village chief of the next village said. But the police said that the case could not be handled so hastily! If you can't find the motive for committing the crime now, you can't form a complete ...... What's that? Alas, I can't tell, anyway, I can't close the case! They have been in the Hu family for four days, and they are becoming more and more evil day by day. Today, the village chief of the next village came to me and said that he wanted to invite you to go! I asked him, and he said it was the Hu family haunted! ”
Hearing what the village chief said, I already had some ideas in my mind.
It was his sentence 'getting worse and worse day by day', which made me sure that the Hu family should indeed be haunted. As for why it is becoming more and more evil day by day, the degree of haunting is getting bigger and bigger day by day.
Ghosts are yin things, and they are naturally afraid of yang.
Equipped with a gun, it has a killing atmosphere. Especially the kind of people who have been on the battlefield, or who are very righteous and awe-inspiring in their hearts, for ghosts, it is very terrible to have too much yang energy.
So at first, no matter what the hell it was, I didn't dare to make trouble in front of them.
But with the passage of time, under the influence of yin energy, yang energy will gradually be eroded. Then people with slightly weaker yang energy will slowly be targeted by ghosts, so as to feel the existence of ghosts. And then there's the others.
And now, it is estimated that the ghost is not very afraid of them anymore, and he really dares to scare them.
"It's already dark, shouldn't you let me go at this time?" I asked the village chief.
The village chief immediately gave me a positive answer, "Of course I didn't let you go now." I'm just telling you to do someone a favor. Early tomorrow morning, I will accompany you and Yifeng together. There are more people, and it is easier to do things. ”
"Okay." I immediately agreed, and said to the village chief, "I asked Yun Feng to give the Hu family a coffin a few days ago, if it is ready, we will carry it over tomorrow, and if we settle down early, there will be no haunting." ”
