[200] See also the coffin
Zhong Kui has a deep affection for moss, and remembers the days when he was in the tomb, and he could only survive by relying on moss to satisfy his hunger. Ran Qin didn't know this, watching his fingers twist the moss with a very obsessive look, and sent it to his mouth to sniff. She was speechless, and said in her heart; What is this for? I called you here to investigate the case, but not to admire the moss.
Zhong Kui didn't seem to pay attention to Ran Qin's dissatisfaction, even if he noticed him as a rough man, it was impossible to know the other party's exact psychological activities. What's more, she is a difficult psychological master, how can she expose her mental activities at will! In terms of face, she still maintained a majestic and inviolable demeanor, and followed him step by step.
Zhong Kui's fingers twisted the moss, but his eyes wandered on Ran Qin's face from time to time. The mind is alive; Just like her, if she marries home and becomes a wife, it is enough to choke, and she has a straight face all day without a trace of smile, and that day must have been hard.
Ran Qin's face sank, and she said angrily: "What do you want? ”
"I ...... What do you think? Not...... Didn't think about anything. Zhong Kui was sweating wildly, this was the first time he had learned the other party's psychological voyeurism. But I don't know what Wei Mao thinks in his heart, as if he told her in person.
The master's family finally returned, and the hired man of the vigil left.
Chao Xin described the details to Zhong Kui again, and then took the two of them around the courtyard. As they reached the door of the permanently locked backyard house, the trio stopped and stared at the rusted iron locks.
"Hey, there's nothing in here, it's just some dead grass and weeds or something." Chao Xin laughed dryly. He was terrified in his heart, as if he was afraid of something.
Ran Qin stared coldly, looked at Zhong Kui, and asked for his opinion.
"Open."
The two words were loud, and the owner hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, don't, don't ...... here"
"He's the owner of the ghost hunting store, what do you have to be afraid of?" Ran Qin glanced at the other party coldly, the corners of his mouth hooked slightly, and there was a fleeting smile on Zhong Kui's face when he looked at him, but he didn't stop for a moment, and disappeared in the cold gaze in an instant.
A policewoman, a ghost hunter.
One belongs to the god stick, and the other belongs to the profession of justice law enforcement, what is the implication between the two of them? Chao Xin thought to himself; Under the gaze of the two, they slowly took out a large number of keys from their pockets.
The keychain clanged, and he rummaged through the large string of keys with trembling hands.
Ran Qin's sharp gaze was like a knife scanning Chao Xin's face, the latter was drenched in cold sweat, and he didn't know if she understood psychology, and the subtle activities of her mind betrayed him.
How many houses are to be opened with such a large set of keys? Zhong Kui didn't seem to have the patience to wait for him to find the key one by one, so he took advantage of the other party's inattention and snatched it away.
Compared with the model of the iron lock, it is easy to find one of the keys to open the backyard door from the keychain.
The key is inserted into the lock hole, and with a slight flick, the lock makes a soft 'click' sound. Zhong Kui froze, didn't think much about it, and opened the backyard door.
When you open the backyard door, you will be greeted by overgrown weeds and dirty scenes. And in the lodging weeds, a boxy, ink-black coffin, appeared in their sight at the same time.
What's going on? A big question mark subconsciously flashed into the minds of the two.
Ran Qin looked at this strange scene and was speechless.
Zhong Kui turned around to ask Chao Xin, but when he turned around, he found that his legs and feet were inconvenient, and he didn't know when he had quietly left the two of them.
The abnormal behavior of the head of the household can only indicate one problem, that is, there is something wrong with this coffin.
"Is there something wrong?" Ran Qin, who was still tense just now, wanted to play cool with someone at the moment. When he saw the frightening coffin, he couldn't help but change his face and asked in a low voice.
According to Zhong Kui's speculation, the problem should not be big, if there is really something, it may be something long ago. He estimated that it was an empty coffin, and the head of the household had to be asked for various details. So when Ran Qin asked, he whispered to her: "Don't guard me, hurry up and find Chao Xin." ”
"Fainted, sure enough." Ran Qin blamed herself; was confused for a while, and actually ignored the protagonist.
Watching her leave to find the head of the household, Zhong Kui cautiously walked inside.
This is a good four-five-six cypress coffin, the so-called four-five-six, is the cypress at the bottom of the coffin. The bottom is somewhat decayed, and the rest is not much damaged.
When approaching the coffin, no evil breath was felt. However, there was an abnormally weak aura, and according to Zhong Kui's further speculation, it was a corpseless coffin. But if there is no corpse coffin, then where does this abnormal corpse qi come from?
At this moment, Ran Qin came to the door with the head of the household.
Zhong Kui had a gloomy face, no words, and circled around the coffin. Said categorically to Chao Xin: "Do you have an ink fountain line at home?" ”
"Nope."
"Is there a peach branch? Must be more than 3 years old or peach pit is also acceptable. ”
"Yes~Yes, but ......," Chao Xin said, raising his head and looking around at the barren grass area that was swaying in the wind. Then he sighed heavily: "There used to be a peach tree here, but because there was no time to take care of it, it was buried by weeds." ”
Zhong Kui was forced to do so, and when he heard Ran Qin say that the door was locked, that there was food lost at home, and that charcoal was burned, he concluded that it was caused by man-made, so he carelessly did not carry any tools to ward off evil spirits.
With the age of this coffin, even if there is no corpse, the evil spirit is very strong. It is necessary to use evil spirits to suppress this evil energy before opening the coffin and checking the internal situation.
Just when Zhong Kui was secretly thinking about whether to go home, a red ribbon around the head of the household caught his attention. Ordinary people love to make evil spirit-warding items into ornaments and wear them around their necks to ward off evil spirits.
It seems that the head of the household is also life-oriented, so he wears items to ward off evil spirits.
Thinking of this, Zhong Kui's eyes were like torches, staring at Chao Xin's serious tone and said, "The cause and effect, I'll talk about it later, you show me the items around your neck." ”
"This ...... All right! Chao Xin hesitated to agree, and had no choice but to raise his hand to remove the thing hanging from his neck and hand it to him with both hands.
"Obsidian?" Zhong Kui exclaimed.
Obsidian is a common black gemstone, also known as natural glass, which is a naturally occurring glaze that is usually black in color.
Obsidian is also one of the Seven Treasures of Buddhism, and has been used since ancient times as a ward off evil spirits, amulets, and many other benefits such as friendship and hope.
"This is my family's ancestral treasure, and in the turbulent times, I ...... It was buried in this backyard, so it was fortunately preserved. ”
"Well, okay, I'll talk about it later, I'll pay you back as soon as I use it." As Zhong Kui spoke, he picked up the obsidian and walked around the coffin, and the evil aura suddenly weakened.
After that, he said to Ran Qin, "Okay, you can come here." ”
Chao Xin and Ran Qin approached suspiciously.
Zhong Kui put his hand on the lid of the coffin and pushed it slightly. There was a dull thud, and the coffin opened, and there was nothing but some messy pieces of rags.
