Chapter 30 Human Nature is Complex
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Sure enough, the first person who couldn't stand it was Liu Mei, and when she heard my words, she stood up and accused me loudly, "Ye Xun, I believe in you so much, please come and help my father solve the problem, how can you slander him out of thin air?" ”
"Whether it's slander or not, you'll find out soon." I was also a little uncomfortable, and I pretended to be indifferent and said, "Ghosts don't look for people who have nothing to do, think about why Uncle Liu is entangled in dirty things?" ”
Liu Mei stopped talking, her eyes widened, and she looked at Uncle Liu in disbelief, "Dad, yes...... Is it true? ”
"Looks like you all know." Uncle Liu was very calm, nodded and said, "I killed the person, I deserve to be guilty of my own crimes, you can directly call the police and arrest me." ”
"Why is this happening?" This passage made Liu Mei feel like a bolt from the blue, she was devastated, and her whole person was sluggish and leaned softly against the wall, as if she didn't know Uncle Liu at this moment.
I asked with a cold face, "Why?" ”
Uncle Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Two days ago, you came to my house, opened the altar to help the old man expel the yin spirit, and instructed me to use fresh cattle and sheep offal as a sacrifice, do you remember?" ”
I closed my eyes, trembling with anger, gritted my teeth and said, "I only ask you to prepare the fresh internal organs of animals, why do you go and dig up a person's internal organs for me?" ”
Uncle Liu smiled and was very calm, "It turns out that the internal organs of living people are far better than those of livestock, isn't it?" Sure enough, after I handed over the internal organs to you, the old man quickly cured the disease......"
After listening to his calm words, not only me, but also Liu Mei and Zhang Qiang, everyone in the room was shocked.
I said why the first time I recited the mantra, I forced the yin spirit out so easily, it turned out that the "sacrifice" that Uncle Liu prepared for me did not come from cattle, sheep and livestock at all, but from a living person.
Zhang Mazi said, Yin material can make up for the lack of Li Wu's own mental power, the effect of the curse is strong, in addition to relying on Li Wu's own mental power, the quality of the Yin material also accounts for a large part of the reason, my first cloth altar practice, there is no mental power at all, but the effect is surprisingly good, so good that even I doubt it.
Now that the suspicion is gone, I finally understand what it's all about.
It turned out that that night, when he learned from me that he needed to prepare the necessities for Li Wu's curse, Uncle Liu started to think. He saw that I was young, not at all like a mage who had attained the Tao, and that my half-baked skills might not be able to successfully exorcise evil spirits for the old man, so he thought of a way to "strengthen the effect" for me.
People living on the border of Yunnan and Guizhou generally have the opportunity to come into contact with Li Wu or mages, Uncle Liu doesn't know where to hear this, knowing that the more evil the sacrifice, the better the effect of Li Wu's spell.
The old man's physical condition couldn't be delayed at all, and under his ruthlessness, a sinful thought burst out in his mind.
He remembered that there was a homeless man in the village, he didn't know where he was, and he didn't have any relatives by his side, so he didn't worry about being found even if he attacked him, and the homeless man trusted him very much, and the chances of success were high.
Speaking of that homeless man, Uncle Liu found it by accident.
Half a month ago, there was a heavy rain in the village, and Uncle Liu, who was plowing the land, ran into the broken temple at the end of the village in order to avoid the rain, but inadvertently saw a homeless man also hiding in the broken temple.
Out of kindness, Uncle Liu gave the homeless man a corn bun.
The homeless man got the benefit of Uncle Liu, and from then on, he actually hid in the broken temple and did not leave, guarding the broken temple every day and waiting for Uncle Liu to pass by. Every time he saw Uncle Liu, the homeless man would run out and kowtow to him for food. Uncle Liu raised him for half a month, and when he learned that the old man needed to use the "fresh internal organs" sacrifice to exorcise evil spirits, an evil thought suddenly came to his heart.
That night, after I went up the mountain to look for yin materials, Uncle Liu sneaked into the kitchen, found a few corn buns, and walked to the broken temple at the end of the village.
Uncle Liu took food to attract the homeless man out, and the homeless man was really fooled, and ran out of the broken temple to kowtow to Uncle Liu, Uncle Liu shook the food in his hand to the homeless, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.
He turned around and left, and the homeless man caught up with him while drooling, so Uncle Liu led the person to a remote corner of the back mountain, and when he saw that there was no one around, he threw the corn bun on the ground, and sure enough, the homeless man immediately threw himself on the ground to grab something to eat.
The homeless man was hungry for two days, so he just stuffed the food into his mouth, not knowing that Uncle Liu had gone around his back at this time, and raised the firewood knife that had been prepared long ago......
I don't know what to say.
Uncle Liu is a dutiful son, in order to treat the old man, he gave up everything, should I praise him? But this dutiful son has now become a murderer.
The selfishness and complexity of human nature made me unable to find a suitable adjective to evaluate his behavior.
Zhang Qiang continued, "You must not have thought that you would be punished so quickly after killing the homeless, right? Uncle Liu nodded weakly, yes, I wanted to kill a chicken to celebrate the old man, but I didn't expect the retribution to come so quickly......
I let out a long sigh, stopped looking at Uncle Liu, turned my gaze to the mage Long Hua and asked, "You should have communicated with the vagabond's Yin Spirit, what are you going to do next?" ”
The mage can understand my words, but I don't understand his accent, I asked Zhang Qiang for a translator, and the mage said, "The yin spirit on Lao Liu's body doesn't want to toss him to death, he just wants to find his internal organs and be properly placed and buried, he said that he doesn't want to stay in that pit, he starved and froze all his life before his death, and he just wants to find a comfortable nest after death." ”
After listening to this, I fell silent and said for a long time, "Is it true that as long as his organs are recovered and the body of the homeless man is properly buried, the Yin Spirit will not haunt him?" Master Longhua nodded, and said a bunch more, I roughly understood, and he said yes.
Uncle Liu confessed that the place where he hid his organs was actually near the latrine.
No wonder the homeless man came to the door so quickly, he himself died horizontally, and after his death, his body was in a different place, and some of his organs were buried in a dirty and unfortunate place like a latrine, and he was infected by bad luck, and he didn't do it at all.
I found a place to take out all the heart-organs of the homeless man, and helped the mage to stuff all the internal organs into the homeless man's body one by one, and then we went to the town to buy a coffin, and then came back to collect the body and bury the homeless man properly.
The process went surprisingly smoothly, and Yin Ling seemed to understand that his wish had been fulfilled, and he had never been tossed by Uncle Liu again.
By the time the homeless man was buried, it was already dark. Uncle Liu knelt in front of the homeless man's grave with the support of his family, crying profusely, slapping himself while making amends, scolding himself for not being a human being, every time he slapped himself, a black line diffused from Uncle Liu's body, and gradually formed the outline of a human face in the air.
That face was frozen in the air, very hazy, I couldn't see his expression, but I only heard his "hehe" in my ears, as if there was a satisfied laughter.
I lit the incense and candle offerings, and the "qi" couldn't wait to pounce on the tomb, gulping down the incense, and no one around me could see this shadow, only a knowing smile appeared on the face of the mage Long Hua Mune.
As we left the grave, the ghost seemed to be standing on the grave, kowtowing to the mage's back.
The mage didn't stay long, came back to pack up his things and left, and when he left, he glanced at me, and his expression was very deep, and I was furious in my heart, and I wanted to ask him what was wrong, but the mage just shook his head and didn't say anything.
Uncle Liu's illness was also cured that night, and his demeanor was normal, except that his face was not very good-looking, just like a nobody. This is thanks to the conscience of the Yin Spirit, and he did not toss him to death, otherwise a big living person would be possessed by the Yin Spirit, and he would have to be weak for two or three days before he could get out of bed.
I think sometimes the human heart is more terrifying than the Yin Spirit.
As soon as the matter was completed, Zhang Qiang couldn't wait to find me to "collect the account", saying that he had advanced the money to find the mage, and now that the matter had been satisfactorily resolved, I still owed him 15,000 according to the agreement.
I had to transfer all the money left in my card through my mobile phone, and after receiving the money, Zhang Qiang patted me on the shoulder with satisfaction, "Xiao Ye, my brother left first, and I have to change the dressing on my foot when I go back to the county." ”
Zhang Qiang's feet were not good, if it weren't for the fact that he was acting as a translator for Master Longhua, he wouldn't have made this trip in person.
I said how do you walk on this big night, do you walk back? Zhang Qiang smiled, "Are you stupid, I drove a motorcycle, why don't you come with me?" ”
The matter is resolved, I really don't need to stay, let him wait first, I'll tell Liu Mei first.
I went into the house to say goodbye to Liu Mei, she was not in high spirits, and she didn't seem to have recovered from the shock and shock. Aunt Liu also sat in the room wiping away tears, and the mother and daughter didn't know what they were muttering.
Seeing that I was leaving, Liu Mei caught up and transferred me another sum of money through her mobile phone, but I refused to accept it, and sighed, "Buy more incense, candles, and paper money to burn for him, and it will be regarded as your father's atonement." ”
Liu Mei was silent by what I said, her eyes were red, and she sobbed quietly for a long time, "Thank you Xiaoye, I really don't know what to say, I didn't expect my dad to be this kind of person." ”
I didn't know how to comfort me, I stretched out my hand, wanting to wipe Liu Mei's tears, but my hand was halfway out and retracted, and reluctantly comforted, "Don't be sad about you, isn't everything resolved, this matter has nothing to do with you, take care of your mood, and live a better life." ”
Leaving the old house, I saw Uncle Liu squatting in the corner of the courtyard smoking a cigarette, I walked to the gate of the courtyard, he suddenly stood up and called me, his lips trembled and said, "Xiaoye, I ......"
I interrupted him, "Uncle Liu, a lot of things are being done, the sky is watching, I am not a policeman, I have no obligation and right to arrest people, what should I do about this, I can remedy it with your own conscience." Fortunately, this homeless man thinks that he has received your kindness, and he does not intend to kill you when he becomes a ghost after death. ”
After saying that, I turned around and left, not stopping for a moment.
Zhang Qiang was impatient, and as soon as I stepped on the motorcycle, he said, "I really don't understand why you like to meddle so much, you haven't got a penny for your busy work twice, and you will lose money sooner or later if you do this!" ”
