18: Corpse Oil Refinery
Jiang Yan.
Although the light was a little dim and I couldn't really see it, through the red clothes, I knew that it was Jiang Yan who was standing at the door.
The red shadow, like a float, came to the door of the mourning hall in the blink of an eye.
Dressed in red and with long hair, he was indeed the man I met all night, but the ugly birthmark on his face was gone.
Jiang Yan, who had no birthmark on her face, was very beautiful, and I was inadvertently in a daze.
Jiang Yan looked at me and wanted to come in, but as soon as she reached the threshold, she seemed to sense the invisible obstacle on the threshold, and took a step back after a pause.
The eyes are facing each other.
This meeting is the first time I have officially faced Jiang Yan, and the last time I met, I was just a quick glance because I was scared by her.
Looking at Jiang Yan's eyes, I suddenly had an indescribable feeling in my heart, which was very weird. Her eyes give me the feeling that my mother sometimes dotes on me, like I am really his son, and her eyes actually give me a kind taste.
When I was nervous, I had to take a deep breath, and while I was taking a deep breath, I silently recited the scriptures I saw from my grandmother's collection, and after reading them twice, my heart was not so nervous.
"Meridian, remember me?"
Jiang Yan spoke, her voice was crisp, but it sounded very cold.
"Why are you doing this to me? Why did you get your birthmark on my face? Why harm people? Why hook me? ”
Even though it was the first time to face Jiang Yan face-to-face, I still had countless questions in my heart that I wanted to ask her.
From the way she looked at me and the way she looked, I felt that she really seemed to regard me as her godson as rumored in the village, otherwise how could there be kindness in her eyes?
"I didn't hurt anyone, I just wanted to protect you all along, someone wanted to harm you."
Protect me?
Hooking my soul and getting the birthmark on my face to protect me?
Hearing that Jiang Yan was harmless, I couldn't help but think of a sentence on my grandmother's codex: "Ghost words are not credible." ”
It's a ghost's word, and you can never believe it.
Thinking of this, I immediately suppressed the impact of Jiang Yan's words to protect me, and couldn't help but say, "You haven't harmed anyone yet?" Didn't you scare to death Mrs. Wang? ”
"Mrs. Wang?"
Jiang Yan was obviously a little stunned, and said: "If I wanted to harm her, I would have harmed her eighteen years ago, why wait until now, you go with me, I can protect you, the person who wants to harm you is too powerful, if you don't go with me, I really can't protect you." ”
The more Jiang Yan spoke, the more anxious she became, as if she felt something, and she didn't forget to turn her head to look behind her when she spoke.
Nonsense is not credible.
I repeated the phrase over and over again as I stepped back.
"Ziwu, come with me, I really don't have time, you ......"
Before Jiang Yan could speak, a black shadow flew in from outside the yard and hit Jiang Yan, Jiang Yan looked at me with red eyes, and disappeared like this.
The lights of the soul lamp returned to normal.
I want to move, but my legs can't move.
Thinking back to what Jiang Yan just said, it is not unreasonable.
Since she was there when she summoned the soul ten years ago, it means that she wants to kill Wang Pozi, and she can indeed kill at any time, so she doesn't have to wait until now to kill.
Could it be that she didn't kill Mrs. Wang?
This question makes me think, if Mrs. Wang was not killed by Jiang Yan, how can the black handprints on the window glass be explained? If Mrs. Wang didn't kill her, it indirectly means that it was not she who controlled Mrs. Wang's seduction.
If it's not her, who is it?
If it's to protect me, why didn't you jump out and say it before? I didn't come out until now to say it, and I disappeared before I finished speaking.
Thinking back to Jiang Yan's eyes when she looked at me, although she couldn't believe the nonsense over and over again, I always had a feeling in my heart that I couldn't get rid of, and I felt that she really wanted to protect me, and that kind of look was exactly the same as when my mother took care of me when she saw that I was uncomfortable.
Who will harm me?
Jiang Yan is not human, and from her panicked appearance, she seems to be very afraid of the person who wants to harm me. can make a person who can be afraid of ghosts, I think at least he must be as powerful as grandma or Xu Buhuo.
The sky outside is slowly getting brighter.
Just as I was about to go out to find Xu Buhuo, he suddenly fell into the courtyard and walked in, as if he had fought a fierce battle, and his clothes were torn in many places, and he was still stained with blood.
Looking at the blood marks on Xu Buhuo's body, I knew that it must be Mrs. Wang who was fighting with him.
After bringing clean water to help Xu Buhuo clean it, he asked me to get the ashes from the burning incense of the dead man's incense on the lid of the coffin and wipe it directly on the wound.
The incense ash fell on the blood stains, like a soldering iron on the meat, and suddenly bursts of white smoke rose.
It seems that seeing that I am puzzled, Xu Buhuo explained that Wang Pozi has been transformed into a corpse, and can produce a slight corpse poison, and the incense ash can pull out the poison, if it is caught or bitten by the corpse, it is useless to use the medicine, either glutinous rice or incense ash.
Fortunately, there are not many wounds, and the incense ash of the dead man's incense is just enough.
After dawn, my mother also came to take over, Xu Buhuo changed his clothes, took out seven copper nails from his bag, and asked me to take a hoe and go straight to the cemetery in the back mountain.
"Was Mrs. Wang killed by you?"
"She's already dead, is there still such a thing as killing?"
Thinking about it, Mrs. Wang has died a long time ago, and Xu Buhuo just let her rest completely.
When I arrived at the graveyard and looked at the blood and flesh scattered on the ground, I couldn't imagine how fierce the battle had been before.
The body of the princess was lying in the middle of the cemetery, with a broken peachwood sword stuck in her chest.
Even if she could move, she had rotted a lot these days, her face hanging on her chin, and only the bones in her arms remained.
Xu Buhuo was holding a copper nail and was about to bend over, when he bared his teeth and inhaled cold air in pain.
"I'll do it, you point."
I don't know where the courage came from, I just feel like I want to do it at this moment. Xu Buhuo stared at me and asked, "Can you do it?" ”
"Men can't say they can't."
I smiled and took the copper nails, Xu Buhuo pointed to the eyebrows of Mrs. Wang, and let the nails go down.
I found a stone, I smashed it hard, and the copper nail snorted and drove directly into the head of the princess, followed by both shoulders, palms, and feet.
When digging pits and burying them, Xu Buhuo asked me to dig wherever it was pleasing to my eyes.
"What's the use of brass nails like this?" I couldn't help but ask.
"Seal the corpse and suppress the corpse."
Xu Bu sat down next to him, explaining that it was not normal for Mrs. Wang to die, and through the previous fight, he felt that Mrs. Wang had been refined when she was still alive, and she would be transformed so quickly after death and become a living corpse.
"How do you refine a living person?"
"There are many means, looking at her situation, she should use specially refined corpse oil for a long time, and her body will change after a long time, even if she is herself, she can't find that she has changed."
Eating corpse oil refining body?
It was disgusting to think about, and strangely enough, I swallowed my throat. If you want to eat corpse oil before death, can you really make people become corpses immediately after death?
The evil means made me subconsciously think of what Jiang Yan said about hurting me, that is, the person who wanted to make a ghost in Jiang Yan's graveyard and completely turn me into a puppet, and I felt that only he could do this kind of thing.
Although Mrs. Wang won't move now, according to Xu Buhuo, as long as it's night, she can still move, and the only way is to completely seal and suppress it.
Copper nails nail eyebrows, called the gate of heaven, nails on the left and right shoulders, called the door of the fiefdom and the door of life, under normal circumstances, to deal with the living corpse, as long as the nail of the corpse pierces these three places, the living corpse can lose the ability to move.
And if you want to be completely exterminated, either burn it, it is inconvenient to burn, you can only continue to seal the four roads, the so-called four roads, that is, two palms and two insteps, as long as the four roads are one, the corpse will die completely, even if the yin soul drills in, it can't be controlled.
Reading my grandmother's collection of books opened a special door for me, but Xu Buhuo's narration made me completely feel what science cannot explain.
No wonder the book once said that the end of science is theology.
What science can explain, theology can explain, but what theology can explain, science doesn't necessarily explain.
When I went down the mountain, I took the initiative to talk about Jiang Yan's approach.
"Can she be trusted?"
Xu Buhuo smiled casually, "Whether it is credible or not depends on yourself, if you want to believe it, no one can stop it, if you don't want to believe it, it is useless for anyone to say it, as for the nonsense is not credible, do you think it is really the kind of ghost you saw?" Sometimes, people are more terrible than ghosts. ”
Words, I listen like a monk in Zhanger.
"Is there a very powerful person lurking in the village?"
This is what I am most concerned about, because I think that very powerful person, since it is not Xu Buhuo, it is most likely Uncle Qin, and my heart is cold.
"Isn't that Uncle Qi you said? He can use his hands and feet on the jade pendant I gave you, and he will be directly filthy, which shows that his ability is not weak. ”
Is it really him?
In an instant, an impulse welled up in my heart to tell Uncle Qin's affairs. But when the words came to my lips, I subconsciously held back. Contacting Xu Bu to the present, although he always speaks with a match, but with intuition, I know that he is also a good person. Saying so much, it can't be said that he wants to trick me.
No one can believe it completely, but no one can believe it.
This is the solution I came up with, I don't completely believe Xu Buhuo and Uncle Qin, but I don't believe it at all. At least for now, Xu Buhuo hasn't done anything to hurt me, and Uncle Qin doesn't seem to have done anything either.
Back at the old house, Xu Buhuo went back to the new house to rest after some explanation, I deliberately made an excuse not to go together, and after he left, I went straight to Uncle Qin's house.
Uncle Qin was very suspicious, and I felt the need to test it, so I had a jumping knife in my trouser pocket in case of emergency.
When I arrived at Uncle Qin's house, the door was open but no one was seen, and I shouted twice, and his weak voice sounded in the house.
When I entered the house, Uncle Xu was lying on the bed with a pale face, and when he saw me, he was about to struggle to sit up, but he didn't struggle twice, and he coughed fiercely.
When the handkerchief was lifted, I saw blood on it and hurriedly asked what was wrong.
"I've been calculated."
Uncle Qin said a word to ease three breaths, and after a long pause, he continued: "In our village, there is a third person who also understands those, and he is the most powerful person." ”
Is there really a third person?
