Chapter 36: The Slope
I stood on the top of the slope and looked down by the light, there were not many weeds on the slope ground, but they were all large and small trees, and they looked steep, but there were tree trunks in the way, and it didn't look dangerous at all, at least there could be no snakes here?
The point of the puppet's small arm is at the bottom of this slope, I took the hoe, went down carefully, held the trunk one by one, and walked towards the bottom of the slope, Xiaolian followed closely, on the slope, down about seven or eight meters, but the little finch grandfather suddenly weakly told us that his bones were in the range of more than ten meters, and suddenly we looked at the eyes out, more than ten meters range, does this want us to dig inch by inch? It's in the middle of the night, or on the slope, even if you dig until dawn, you may not be able to dig it?
However, Grandpa Xiaoque was too weak, and he had a tranquilizing talisman, so he immediately fell silent, and he didn't seem to have much strength to speak, so I had to figure it out by myself, however, I had just entered the path of cultivation, and I didn't know how to find the soul at all? In my grandfather's "Yin and Yang Secret Arts", there seems to be a kind of spell, but I don't even have any comprehension of Taoist body arts, and the rest is delusional, and I can't help but dig a hoe into the ground with a hoe in frustration.
At this time, Xiaolian suddenly took my hand, I thought something was wrong, but I saw her make a silent gesture, and asked me to turn off the headlamp, in the slope, suddenly dimmed, fortunately, the moonlight is very bright, although there are dense leaves on the top of the tree, but still through some moonlight, the slope is mottled and dark.
I saw Xiaolian stretch out her hand and point to the puppet in my breast pocket, and when I saw this situation, I guessed that Xiaolian had a way to find the bones of Grandpa Xiaoque, so I hurriedly took it out and handed it to her along with the talisman and the puppet.
She took it in her hand and asked me to take out my mobile phone, I did it to her, stretched my head over, and found that she looked at my mobile phone There was a picture that looked like a charm, fortunately, the comparison was relatively simple, it should not be a difficult spell to describe, it seems that An Laodao sent it to her, and my heart was suddenly a little relieved, it should be that they thought that it was not easy to find the bones of Xiaoque's grandfather, An Laodao thought of a way, but I was healing at the time, naturally only Xiaolian to learn.
Xiaolian asked me to hold the phone and let the picture of the screen point at her, I did so, and I saw that she first leaked out the back of the part of the puppet that was not wrapped in the talisman, and then, with her fingers in her mouth, she bit hard, and when she took it out, she stretched out blood, and then, according to the charm pattern in the photo, she drew this unknown spell with blood on the back of the puppet.
After the painting was finished, Xiaolian took the puppet, pinched a magic finger in her right hand, put it to her mouth and recited the words, as if she was reciting some kind of incantation, which surprised me and made me feel that Xiaolian was more like a Taoist priest than me.
Then, I suddenly saw Xiaolian's Emei wrinkled, I don't know what she was doing, and then, I saw her holding the puppet, slowly moving on the slope, although I didn't turn on the light, fortunately, a little drop of moonlight came in, I watched Xiaolian can only use one hand to hold the trunk on the slope, walking up a little bumpy, several times almost slipped down the slope, fortunately, I was prepared in advance, standing a little below Xiaolian, seeing that she walked unsteadily, when her feet slipped, I hurriedly stretched out my hand to help her steady.
Xiaolian seemed to be able to sense something strange in this slope, just like that, in less than ten minutes, she suddenly stopped at the side of a slightly slower slope, I looked, it was like a slightly raised stone on the slope, or it could be a stone rolled down the mountain, stuck here, as time went on, the mountain rolled down the mud, covering the stone, and it became a bulge on the slope, but when we saw it, it was a bulge made of soil, there were no trees on it, but there were trees around, but, a little strange, I noticed that the trees around the bulge seemed to be significantly smaller than the others, as if they had grown later.
Xiaolian stood next to this bulge, suddenly pointed at this bulge, turned her head to me and said, "According to the spirit mantra given to me by An Laodao, I feel that there seems to be a trace of yin qi that is the same origin as the puppet underneath, I think Xiaoque's bones are very likely to be underground here?" ”
I wondered, "Are you sure?" ”
Xiaolian said no, but she couldn't wander around in this slope, so I was asked to dig immediately.
I also knew that things didn't wait for anyone, so I nodded, Xiaolian immediately took the flashlight I handed over, turned on the light and shone it for me, I took the hoe, on the side of this bulge, dug up, a few hoes went down, it was all some soil, did not touch the stones, so that my heart was slightly calm, it didn't look too difficult, however, I dug down more than half a meter, and I dug off a lot of roots, that is, some cypress roots around this bulge, which seemed to be entangled in this slope.
Xiaolian frowned and said, "What's the matter?" Digging for so long? Why doesn't it have any impact at all? ”
I took a breath and said, "Grandpa Xiaoque has been dead for sixty or seventy years, and his bones may be buried deep in the ground, not to mention this back mountain, when I was a child, I remember that there were some mudslides here, which rolled up the soil on the top of the mountain, and it may be buried even deeper!" ”
Xiaolian had to nod, see that I continued to dig deep, finally, I dug this bulge directly out of a two-meter-deep pit, I was about to give up, the hoe suddenly sounded, as if digging a stone, I was busy with the hoe to push the surrounding soil to the slope, through the light to see, sure enough, digging the stone, I dug at the edge of the stone, dug and dug, found that the stone was not very thick, palm thick, like a slate, busy digging deep at the edge, finally, exposed half of the slate, After I cleaned the soil on the surface of the slate a few times, Xiaolian shone the light over, which startled me on the spot, Xiaolian also sighed, almost took a step back, I hurriedly reached out and grabbed Xiaolian's hand, so as not to let her roll down the mountain.
This stone slab turned out to be a tombstone, but looking at the location buried deep in the ground, it is certain that the descendants of the people in the tomb have either left the local area or are out of business, otherwise, it is impossible to leave the graveyard of their relatives untended and be buried under the loess.
However, I didn't dare to dig up easily, there was a main graveyard here, and digging up would damage yin virtue, but at this time, the puppet bird suddenly raised his little arm weakly and pointed to the tombstone: "I can feel my bones in this!" ”
Xiaolian also suddenly sighed, and hurriedly asked me to dig up this tombstone quickly, I frowned, but I still listened to Xiaolian's words, and finally dug up this tombstone, and cut off the soil on it, we immediately saw the words on it, and our jaws almost fell off.
