Chapter 42: Borrowing Life to Resurrect the Soul
"Damn, Daddy didn't lie to us, it's really useful!" After seeing the female ghost disappear, Li Jizong cheered happily.
After a while, Li Jizong noticed Li Wentao's existence.
"Brother, how are you? Brother, how are you......" Li Jizong ran to Li Wentao's side in a panic and pinched Li Wentao's person with his thumb.
Li Wentao slowly opened his eyes, and the consciousness in his mind began to gradually become clear.
"Dad, Dad......" After Li Wentao woke up, he sat up from the ground and staggered to Li Youmin's side.
Li Youmin was unconscious, no matter how Li Wentao shook his body, he was lying in Li Wentao's arms, without any sign of life.
"Brother, Dad is already gone, don't toss him anymore, let him go with peace of mind." Li Jizong also knelt next to Li Youmin's body, grabbed Li Wentao's hands, and prevented him from continuing to shake Li Youmin's body.
"No, Dad didn't go, didn't go, Dad didn't go......" Li Wentao suddenly whimpered and cried when he said this.
"Brother, dad is gone, ...... gone" Li Jizong shook Li Wentao's body, wanting him to admit this indisputable fact.
Li Wentao shook his head vigorously at Li Jizong: "No, brother, my father didn't leave." ”
"Didn't go? Brother, you can't have a burned brain, Dad is obviously out of breath, just now I probed his breath in front of his nose, I don't believe you touch it yourself. After Li Jizong finished speaking, he touched Li Wentao's forehead with his hand.
"You've just burned out your brain." Li Wentao stopped crying, and suddenly became serious to Li Jizong: "Brother, have you forgotten what our father did?" ”
After hearing Li Wentao's words, Li Jizong's pupils slowly dilated, and at the same time, Li Jizong looked at the ancient book in his hand, and seemed to understand a little in a trance.
"Could it be...... There's a spell to bring the dead back to life? Li Jizong stared at the ancient book and asked.
"Exactly." Li Wentao nodded to Li Jizong.
Then, Li Wentao said to Li Jizong: "Dad once told me before his death that the method of borrowing life to return yang in the ghost woman's magic can bring a person back to life, and if we use this kind of spell on my father's body, my father will definitely be able to bring the dead back to life." ”
"Brother, then what are you waiting for, you hurry up and cast a spell on our father, so that our father can come back to life." Li Jizong was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said to Li Wentao.
Li Wentao frowned at Li Jizong: "No, the conditions for applying this method are extremely harsh, if you are a little careless, don't say that it is to bring our father back to life, even our father's soul may not be able to keep the land." ”
"What conditions? So serious! Li Jizong was shocked when he heard this.
Li Wentao looked at Li Youmin's corpse and said to Li Jizong: "We must place the ritual of sacrificing the three animals, pray with soul incense in front of my father's spirit, and then light an everlasting lamp on the head of our father's five corpses, if the everlasting lamp can be burned in front of our father's five corpses for seven days and seven nights, our father can return his soul to the sun." ”
"Is that true?" Li Jizong was shocked when he heard this, and looked at Li Wentao with an unbelievable look.
"Jizong, why did my brother lie to you!" Seeing that Li Jizong didn't believe it, Li Wentao was not angry with Li Jizong.
"Brother, it's not that I can't trust you, it's just ...... I never heard my dad say it before he died, so I ......"
"So...... That's why you don't believe your brother? Before Li Jizong finished speaking, Li Wentao followed his words and asked.
"Uh-huh." Li Jizong nodded.
"Don't worry, my brother is here, it's okay." Li Wentao patted Li Jizong on the shoulder, which was a kind of comfort he gave to Li Jizong.
"Come, Jizong, take a hand......" When Li Jizong was still coming back to his senses, Li Wentao had already grabbed Li Youmin's hands and put those two cold hands on his back.
"Brother, do you want me to carry it?" After Li Jizong helped Li Wentao put the body on his back, he was worried that Li Wentao would not be able to carry the corpse.
Li Wentao waved his hand at Li Jizong, but said to Li Jizong with a red face: "No need, Shen!" ”
Li Jizong shook his head and smiled bitterly, so he had to give up.
Subsequently, the two brothers Li Jizong took advantage of the night to carry Li Youmin's body to the Li store.
By the time they arrived at the Li shop, it was just getting dark outside.
I hid behind the big tree, and when I saw them go, I quietly followed them back to the Li shop.
In order not to arouse their suspicion, I quietly returned to my room.
Because I hadn't slept all night, I lay down in bed and fell into a groggy sleep.
When I woke up, Lao Wang stood in front of my bed and said to me fiercely, "What time is it, what time do you plan to get up?" ”
I struck a spirit, lifted the quilt violently, and quickly got up from the bed.
When I got outside, the Li shop was open as usual. It's just that there is no longer a figure of Li Wentao and the two brothers in front of the Li store.
I eavesdropped on their conversation last night, and at this moment, of course, I know what the two Li Wentao brothers are doing.
Out of curiosity, after finishing my work in the front, I quietly slipped into the back hall.
In the back hall, the two Li Wentao brothers laid down heavy curtains, and arranged two guards on both sides of the curtains, and no one was allowed to enter the curtains.
I tried to sneak into the curtain a few times, but those two guys stopped me.
The days went by, and there wasn't a day I didn't want to slip into the curtain, and finally, on the seventh day, my chance finally came.
On this day, the two guards stood there fine, idly smoking cigarettes.
While they weren't looking, I slipped quietly into the curtain.
Inside the curtain, Li Youmin's body was placed horizontally on the ground, and at the same time, an ever-bright lamp was placed in the place of Li Youmin's five heads.
A desk is set up next to the lantern, and an incense altar is placed on the table, and three pillars of incense are inserted in the incense altar, and the front of the three pillars of incense is sacrificed to pigs, cows, and sheep respectively.
If this kind of sacrificial gift is placed in our Niujia Village, only the ancestors of Niujia Village can enjoy this kind of treatment.
"Hoo ......"
Just as I was stunned by what I saw, a dark wind suddenly blew outside the curtain.
After the yin wind penetrated into the white curtain, it directly blew out the ever-bright lamp in the place where Li Youmin's five heads were.
I was very surprised when I saw it, and in order not to arouse the suspicion of the two Li Wentao brothers, I quietly slipped to the side of the everlasting lamp and secretly lit it.
Then, while no one was looking, I slipped out quietly.
When I walked out of the back hall, the two brothers Li Wentao happened to come from the front hall.
