Chapter 301: Take the Yin Material
In fact, I also guessed that Lao Qiao was not a villager at all, his real identity should be a tomb robber, and it must be because the tomb robbing was cursed by the ghouls, so he was haunted by nightmares and had to ask Zhang Mazi for help.
He made up a lot of lies, and at first I believed them, until when I went to the town to buy something during the day, the funeral shop owner and the merchant immediately exposed his lies, but unfortunately I didn't react immediately.
Azanji said, "Lao Qiao is indeed a villager in Yingzuigou, but that should have been more than ten years ago, yesterday after you went to bed, I ran all over the village, and found that there was no living person in the village, but Lao Qiao said that there was a widow in the village, and he didn't move outside for the sake of the widow, he was lying at all." ”
I nodded and said, "This lie is very clumsy, it can be exposed with a little checking, Old Joe definitely didn't expect that you would not be able to sleep in the middle of the night, and the whole village was checked, under normal circumstances, an outsider would not have the courage to run around in the middle of the night when he came to such a deserted village." ”
Azangi also said, "He is to blame, and he is clean when he dies, and I went down to the pit to get the yin material." ”
After speaking, Azanji pointed to the corpse inside the coffin, there was still a dried corpse under Lao Qiao's body, the flesh and blood had long been rotted clean, only a layer of crumpled black old skin was left on it, and under the light of the miserable white flashlight, I found that the hands of the dry corpse were wrapping around Lao Qiao's chest, firmly fixing his whole body.
I remembered that when we first entered the cellar, we heard the muffled sound of knocking on the coffin, and I guess that Old Joe was not dead yet, and was pushing the coffin with his last strength.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but feel numb in my scalp and asked Azanji what he was going to do next.
Azangi pointed to the corpse and said, "The ghouls are a special kind of yin spirit, they will look at their corpses and not let anyone approach, if we want to dig up the human bone yin material, we must first overtake the ghouls here, otherwise even if we get the yin material, the ghouls will always follow us." ”
I said, "Isn't it the same as Old Joe?" Azanji nodded, "Almost, it's definitely not the first time that Old Joe has entered the coffin, he must have taken something from here last time to be tortured by the ghouls all the time." ”
I smiled bitterly, "Since the ghouls don't want us to touch the corpses, I think it's better to forget it, there are human bones and yin materials everywhere, and we can't offend yin spirits in order to get a human bone yin material." ”
Azanji shook his head stubbornly, "The quality of the yin material is good and bad, this kind of human bone that has not been melted for a hundred years is the best in the yin material, since I have seen it, there is no reason to let it go, and then I will spend a little time to overstay the ghouls, you stay and help me." ”
I grimaced and said, "How much more time does it take to overtake a ghoul?" "Azanji said that this is not easy to say, the main guard of the ghouls to which step is the grievance, there are a lot of ghouls in the wooden building, and it is a lot of work to overtake them as a whole, at least ten days and half a month.
I exclaimed, "So long? ”
Azanji smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't let you stay under the corpse cellar all the time, you can come over once a day, just help me deliver food, if there are any auxiliary materials needed in the transcendence ceremony, I will write them on a slip of paper, and you can do it for me according to the requirements on the note." ”
I pursed my lips, I learned the Li Wu Sutra spell from Zhang Mazi, why do I have to run errands if you are the main force? However, when the words came to my lips, I swallowed them back, and Azanji's ability was indeed more than a star and a half stronger than mine, and the transcendent ritual could only be handed over to him.
In the following days, I traveled back and forth between the corpse cellar and the town all day, and I almost ran all over the road, and Azanji stayed in the cellar for more than ten days in a row to do supernatural rituals, and I was in charge of delivering food and chores to him.
Two weeks later, Azanji told me that the work was nearing the end, and that he had taken not only the ghouls in the coffin, but most of the ghouls in the wooden building, and that he would be able to remove the corpses tonight, so that I should not leave.
I said that after digging up the corpses, can I leave? Azanji shook his head and said, "There are still some ghouls in the wooden building who have not completed the transcendence, they have been begging me for the past few days, I may stay here and continue to preside over the transcendence mage, after getting the corpses, you can leave first, and give these corpses to Master Zhang, as a little bit of my filial piety to him." ”
I stretched my brows and said with a smile, "It turns out that you worked hard to dig up the yin material in order to please Zhang Mazi." ”
I didn't expect Azanji to be a warm-hearted person, I always thought that Azan in black was very hard-hearted and indifferent to everything, but Azanji would choose to stay because of the ghoul's plea and continue to preside over the transcendent ceremony, it seems that I misunderstood.
Who knew that Azanji said something again, and almost didn't let me spray rice, "I have negotiated with the ghouls, I will perform supernatural rituals for them, all their aggregates belong to me, and there are at least hundreds of corpses in the wooden building, I don't have to worry about yin material in this life." ”
I still think that Azanji is showing compassion, and it is still to get human bones, which really can't be boasted at all.
After eating, Azanji performed the transcendence of the mage again, around the early hours of the morning, I noticed that the yin qi in the coffin was almost dissipated, Azangi also opened his eyes, and said in a tired tone, "I want to meditate to recover my energy, prepare for tomorrow's transcendent dharma, and the human bone yin material will be handed over to you, you can take it back as soon as possible." ”
Azanji asked me to dig up the corpse with a shovel to the outside of the corpse kiln, I spat twice on the palm of my hand, grabbed the shovel and walked to the coffin, first pried the coffin open, smashed the bones, and then took out the yin material one by one.
I packed all the material into a bag, stood up with the bag in my shoulder, and said, "Then I'll go first." ”
Azanji opened his eyes and said, "Go, be careful, don't be spotted on the road." ”
I know this, walking on the road in the middle of the night with broken human bones, if someone sees it, don't be scared to death, Azanji deliberately asked me to escort Yin material back in the early morning, also to avoid pedestrians on the road.
Leaving the wooden building full of rotting corpses, I quickened my pace down the mountain, and chose a more remote road to walk, saying that it was really troublesome to do this business, although sometimes it was very beautiful in front of people, but I suffered an old sin behind my back, not to mention the risk of dealing with yin spirits, just digging human bones had to be busy enough to choke, not as easy as a genuine Taoist priest.
When I knocked on the door of Zhang Mazi's house again, the sky was already dark, Zhang Mazi came to open the door for me, and when I saw that I was the only one who returned, I asked me where Azanji went?
I told Zhang Mazi about what happened, and he smiled after hearing it, shook his head and didn't say anything, and let me go into the courtyard with him.
I handed the human bone material to Zhang Mazi, saying that these things were specially brought back by Azanji to honor him.
Zhang Mazi smiled lightly, took the human bone material and looked at it, and asked how it felt to go out with Azanji this time?
I said, "What else can there be but nausea?" ”
Zhang Mazi said that it was really rotten wood that could not be carved, but in fact, this matter could be handled by Azanji alone, and he deliberately explained it to me, not only to test my cultivation results, but also to let me recognize the gap and reality, so that I could spend more time on cultivating the Fa in the future.
In fact, I have long understood Zhang Mazi's painstaking efforts, he has an old relationship with my grandfather, and he wants to train me to be a person like my grandfather, but I am idle and careless, and I can't take much interest in cultivating the Fa, so I have been practicing the Fa with Zhang Mazi for so long, and I am still a piece of waste material.
After the lecture, Zhang Mazi hurriedly summed up, "You are just a wooden stick, even if you pierce the hole with an awl, you still don't open your mind!" Ye Chenglong I is a hero, how could he leave a scrap? ”
Everyone has their own ambitions, I didn't bother to argue with Zhang Mazi, I only said that I was tired and wanted to sleep.
Zhang Mazi was so angry that he wanted to laugh, "Get out, it's better to cultivate you than to cultivate a pig, the pig can still snort twice when it's full, what about you?" You can't hit a fart with three sticks! ”
