Chapter 24: You also have Gu poison on your body
Cao Jiugu wanted to incense her grandmother, but I subconsciously glanced at the witch doctor, feeling a little empty in my heart.
After all, there is an old cripple kneeling in front of my grandmother's grave, and I still suspect in my heart that my mother's body is in that clothed mound.
The witch doctor nodded at me, and I was relieved: "Then I'll prepare incense, candles, and paper money, and let's go to the incense first and then go back to dinner." ”
……
The mist that had been permeating for several days finally faded, and the villagers breathed a sigh of relief, and the arrival of the stranger Cao Jiugu attracted their attention, and a group of people followed us towards the ancestral tomb of Houshan.
What I didn't expect was that when we arrived at the clothed mound, we didn't see the body of the old lame, there were a bunch of white bones scattered on the ground, and the body of the old lame man had been strong for so many days, and it was corrupted in an instant?
The patriarch ordered people to collect the bones of the old lame man, I squatted down and burned paper money in front of the mound of clothes, Cao Jiugu lit sandalwood and bowed to the mound of clothes, and then inserted the sandalwood in front of the grave, and then walked around the mound with his hands behind his back, and when he stopped beside me again, he suddenly said: "Xiaocha, you stand up." ”
I didn't burn the paper money in my hand yet, I looked up at her puzzled, but the witch doctor dragged me up, and she immediately pulled my two hands behind my back, making me hunch my back and lower my head: "Xiaocha, you go around this mound clockwise three times, counterclockwise three times, you are not allowed to look back, you can't stop, I told you to stop, you stop, do you hear?" ”
I was puzzled, and the villagers all looked at me eagerly, and I had to nod: "Got it." ”
Then, according to Cao Jiugu's request, I walked around the mound of clothes, because my heart was full of doubts, thinking that I would finish the walk quickly and see what would happen, so I walked a little fast.
After two laps in a row, nothing happened, and I muttered to myself, and on the third lap, I clearly felt the wind around me, and then when I turned around and turned counterclockwise for the first time, I felt that something was wrong.
At the end of the first lap of counterclockwise, I only felt that the back seemed to be heavy, not obvious, it was obviously noon, after the wind, but it made me feel cold, the second lap I slowed down, the back became heavier and heavier, because I didn't look back, I didn't know what happened, and when the third lap, I accidentally saw the shadow on the ground, but I found that my shadow was bent.
How so?
As soon as I finished the three laps, I only heard a brass bell ringing in my ears, and then I knelt on the ground with weak legs, covered in sweat, like washed water.
Cao Jiugu turned her head and asked the witch doctor, "Is this sure to be a clothed mound?" ”
The witch doctor hurriedly nodded: "The mound was erected by my own hands, and I watched the burial the whole process, there will be no mistake." ”
Cao Jiugu came over and dragged me up, and said to the witch doctor: "I know, I will make a list for you when I go back, and you can collect the above things as soon as possible, and it will be useful tonight." ”
After saying that, she pulled me away, and the patriarch hurriedly trotted to follow: "That, master, is there something wrong with this clothed mound?" Are you going to dig up a grave tonight? ”
"Yes, our village has suffered from the plague, is it that this well-dressed mound standing here has broken the feng shui of the village?"
"Do you want us to help? Nothing else, but the strength is. ”
……
The villagers seemed to have grasped the last straw, and they all followed up to ask questions, but Cao Jiugu ignored none of them, and after returning to my house, she closed the courtyard door and bolted the door bolt.
I looked at her solemn face, and I was a little panicked: "Mother-in-law, what do you see?" ”
"Xiao Cha, this Gu poison came from your mother's corpse, right?" Cao Jiugu asked me, most of the villagers didn't know about this matter, but the witch doctor knew, so it was not surprising that Cao Jiugu knew.
I nodded, "Yes, but my mother's grave has been dug up, and the body ...... So far, I haven't found it. ”
"The corpse is in the mound of clothes." Cao Jiugu said categorically, "The few laps I asked you to walk just now were just asking for directions, if it was really a well-dressed mound, you just walked a few laps normally, but in fact it wasn't like that, right?" ”
"Yes." I told me about the weight on my back and the crooked shadow, and Cao Jiugu nodded, "That's because there is a soul on your back, which means that it is not a simple clothed mound, there is something dove occupying the magpie's nest." ”
And so it was.
"Then tonight we are going to dig out the mound and destroy the corpses?" I hurriedly asked, in fact, if it is burned and cremated, I can still accept it.
Cao Jiugu denied me: "Xiaocha, it's not that simple, if I'm not mistaken, your grandmother died, and she also fell into this kind of Gu poison, right?" ”
At this point, in fact, I already have a lot of trust in Cao Jiugu, at least this person is really powerful in my opinion, her analysis is in place step by step, we were confused for many days to find a little clue, she made it clear as soon as she made a move, and capable people can easily become the backbone of everyone, so I have let down my guard against her, and I have almost no reservations about what I can say.
"Yes, my grandmother died tragically to suppress the Gu poison on my mother's body."
"You're wrong Xiaocha, this Gu poison has been lurking in your grandmother for nearly fifty years, and it was after she had a seizure that led your mother to follow the seizure, and the suppression she did was just to prevent the further spread of the Gu poison."
Cao Jiugu's words shocked me: "Grandma has Gu poison on her body? It's impossible, she herself is a Gu raiser, if she has Gu poison on her body, how can she not know it herself? Why don't you want to get rid of it after so many years? I've never heard her talk about it. ”
"Because this Gu poison is difficult to decompose, and it is hereditary." Cao Jiugu stared at me with burning eyes, "Xiaocha, you also have it on you." ”
Rumble!
At that moment, I felt that my mind was blank, and then I shook my head: "Impossible, you must be lying to me, if I have Gu poison in my body, my grandmother will not tell me when she is dying, and the person she is most distressed about is me." ”
Cao Jiugu watched me go crazy and kept denying her, until I slowly calmed down, and she opened her mouth again: "Xiaocha, if I ask you two questions, you will believe what I say, one, your blood can torture and kill and suppress some Gu worms, right?" Two, after your grandmother died, she left behind a parchment roll, right? ”
