What the reality gave me was not all despair, as soon as the day dawned, Xu Buhuo, who went to find a way, came back.

The moment I opened the courtyard door and saw him, I was so excited that I almost cried.

Xu Buhuo seemed to be in a hurry overnight, looking very tired, I held back what I wanted to say, hurriedly helped him into the house, boiled water to make tea, and asked Cao Guangshan to help cook noodles.

"What's going on?" Xu Buhuo looked at the fat man lying on the ground suspiciously.

Suppressing my emotions, I told me what had happened that day and night. As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Buhuo answered and said, "I have long guessed that that old thing is for the treasure of your village." ”

Another treasure?

Thinking that Uncle Qin was just for the treasure and would not harm anyone, I breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Then hurry up and find the key for him to end this matter."

"Nope." Xu Buhuo suddenly shook his head and said, "Give it to him, and the whole village will really die." ”

We didn't speak, and looked at Xu Buhuo quietly.

"When I went out this time, I inquired by the way, the treasure of your village had already been found by your grandfather, but he didn't open it, because opening it requires sacrifices, countless lives sacrificed."

After a pause, Xu Buhuo continued: "Because of this, your grandmother and your grandfather settled here, and they have been guarding the key to the treasure since then. It seems that the old thing has now found the entrance, but he can't get in, and if he is given the key, then he will control the villagers to sacrifice next. ”

The stone subconsciously looked at me, and I looked at the fat man who was still on the ground.

It can be seen from Xu Buhuo's state that he should have found a way to save his mother when he left this trip, but the fat man's three souls and seven spirits ran into the hands of Uncle Qin again, and if he didn't give the bronze key, it meant that the fat man would definitely die.

Before the time came, I began to despair.

On the one hand, there are good buddies, and on the other hand, there are a few hundred village people who have treated me well since I was a child, and no one can give it up.

"Mr. Xu, is there no other way?" Stone asked anxiously, his complicated and anxious eyes, I knew that he was just as embarrassed as I was.

"Wait and see."

After saying this, Xu Buhuo walked out of the door to wash his face, and then went to the kitchen to eat breakfast, from his cold attitude, I think if he didn't think of a way, he would probably give up saving the fat man.

Whether it's a fat man or a person in the village, they are all the same people in Xu Buhuo's eyes, and giving up one person to save the whole village is everyone's choice.

After resting for a while, Xu Buhuo took out a lot of things from the bag he brought, and then beckoned us to open the hall for a while, and drew a magic circle with a diameter of nearly two meters on the ground with cinnabar.

The mother was placed in the center of the circle, and Xu Buhuo then drew a small circle in front of the top of the mother's head and placed the soul devouring chicken on it.

Five red threads are tied to the head, feet, and wings of the soul-devouring chicken, and the other end is tied to the hair on the top of the mother's head, and the wrists and ankles of the hands, meaning bridges.

After these were done, Xu Buhuo took out a lot of iron pipes and began to assemble, and soon formed something similar to a camera tripod.

There is a small wooden block at the top, a groove on the top, a small hole at the bottom of the groove, and a total of ten small holes above and below the periphery, three on the top and seven below, and the surrounding area is densely engraved with incantations.

Ten sticks of incense were inserted by Xu Buhuo in ten small holes on the periphery of the wooden block, and then there were twenty red threads, which were tied to the ten incense sticks, each with two red threads.

Eventually, the ten red threads were combined and placed on the center of the mother's eyebrows, an oil lamp pressed directly against it, and the other ten red threads were wrapped around the neck of the Soul Eater.

A red incense stick was taken out by Xu Buhuo and inserted into the small hole in the center of the groove at the top of the wooden block.

"Come here."

Xu Buhuo looked at me, I walked to the side, and he took out a knife.

"Bleed, fill this up." Xu Buhuo pointed to the groove on the top of the wooden block, I took the knife and tried it, but I couldn't do it, so I handed him the knife and put my left hand on top of the wooden block. Xu Bu didn't live to be muddy and watery, just seeing his hand shake, I felt a tingling pain, and blood gushed out of the palm of my hand.

The groove was not very big, and it was quickly filled with blood, Xu Buhuo reached out and poked my arm a few times, and the blood in his palm did not continue to come out.

Ten talismans that had been drawn a long time ago were taken out of the bag, and after Xu Buhuo motioned for us to retreat, he lit the ten yellow talismans and walked around his mother and the soul devouring chicken, and there were words in his mouth.

After the ten charms were burned, Xu Buhuo jumped to the side of the wooden block filled with blood, lit the ten incense sticks inserted in the periphery of the wooden block as quickly as possible, and finally lit the red incense sticking in the center.

The green smoke was filled, Xu Buhuo continued to step on the gang step to make a decision, as he stopped and suddenly shouted, the green smoke that was originally scattered and fluttering upwards was like a wind blowing down from above, and they all fell down.

At this time, the blood in the groove in the middle of the wooden block began to bubble one by one, and gradually boiled like boiling water.

"Light the lamp."

Cao Guangshan, who had already been greeted, hurriedly squatted down and lit the oil lamp in his mother's eyebrows.

"Giggles."

The Soul Eater, who had been dead for a few days lying on the ground, suddenly heard a clucking sound in his throat, and his body began to move.

I just stood next to me and watched the Soul Eater open its eyes, but at this time, the eyes of the Soul Eater were not as golden as they had been seen before.

At this time, the eyes of the soul eater chicken are black, and the whole is black, just like there are no eyeballs, and it will seep into people when you look at it.

The change occurred again, and the green smoke of the ten sticks of incense burning around the wooden block seemed to be guided, and all of them were concentrated on the Soul Eater.

I could clearly see that the green smoke condensed around the Soul Eater seemed to be burrowing into the Soul Eater's body little by little, and at the same time, the gurgling sound in the Soul Eater's throat began to become violent.

The green smoke of the red incense burning in the center of the wooden block fell around the center of the mother's eyebrows, and the light around the oil lamp turned slightly.

"Sneer......"

As more and more green smoke was condensed, the oil lamp began to pull up and down, one second the flame burned ten centimeters long, and the next second it shrank and was about to go out.

The boiling blood in the center of the wooden block, as Xu Buhuo pulled up the red incense inserted in the center, blood quickly flowed out from the ten incense sticks on the periphery, and the blood flowing out was in contact with the red line, flowing down the red line.

"Whew......"

As soon as the blood touched the Soul Eater along the red line, the Soul Eater's whole body tensed and let out a low roar, just like before he was killed, his feet and head were about to be in a straight line, and his whole body trembled.

At this time, I saw that the darkness in the eyes of the Soul Eater began to fade and a golden color appeared.

"The red line builds a bridge, the blood opens the way, the soul incense attracts the soul, and the three souls and seven spirits return quickly."

Xu Buhuo brought the red incense to the mouth of the soul devouring chicken, and the incense in his hand slid down the five red incense sticks on the ground towards his mother.

The magical scene unfolded again, as Xu Buhuo began to slide, the green smoke from the red incense did not dissipate or move, like a line hanging above the red line.

After moving to the top of his mother's head, Xu Buhuo held the red incense to cast a spell, only to see the five red threads automatically disconnected one by one, and when the five red threads were broken, the soul devouring chicken screamed.

The sound is not at all like the sound that a chicken can make.

The light of the oil lamp in the center of the mother's eyebrows flickered for a long time, and then gradually returned to normal, and did not flicker as rhythmically as before.

"Alright." Xu Buhu sat on the ground tiredly.

Okay two words, let my hanging heart finally let go, knowing that it was successful, and my mother's three souls and seven spirits have returned.

"Click." Suddenly, there was a crunch sound from the wood used to make the process, and then it cracked.

Xu Buhuo seemed to have known that this would be the result, and his expression was slightly painful, but he didn't say anything.

After resting for a while, Xu Buhuo carried away the oil lamp in the center of my mother's eyebrows, and asked me to carry my mother back to the room to rest, so that I would not wake up in half an hour.

Sending my mother back to the room, thinking of the fat man who was still asleep, I couldn't help but say to Xu Buhuo: "Old man, what should I do with the fat man?" ”

Xu Buhuo's face was stiff, and he said impatiently: "It's all said, wait for a way, do you think if there is a way, I will still sit here?" ”

Why Xu Buhuo is angry, I don't know, and I didn't continue to ask, knowing that this is indeed the case, if there is a way, he will never be indifferent.

Half an hour later, my mother woke up, looking weak, and asked me what had happened with a confused expression.

Her memory is still stuck in the first two days. I didn't explain a lot, I just said that I lost my soul before.

Looking at Xu Buhuo who was basking in the sun in the yard, I wondered if he knew that his grandmother had not died, and hesitated to tell him this idea. But in the end, I chose to continue to hide this secret, and I felt that it was not good to go around saying that my grandmother had not died.

After quieting down, I continued to wonder where the bronze key would be hidden, and I thought it would be better to find the bronze key first. If you find the key, you can choose whether to save the fat man or the villagers. Without a key, there will be no tricks when the time comes, and it will be very passive.

At the same time, I also thought that even if Uncle Qin got the bronze key and wanted to sacrifice to the people in the village to get the so-called treasure, it could not be a matter of an instant, it would definitely take time.

At that time, it is impossible to use this time to block it, and at the same time let the fat man return to normal. Thinking about this situation makes me feel a lot more relaxed.

Xu Buhuo didn't know where he had gone in the past two days, and it could be seen from the state that he was very tired, and when I saw him go into the room to sleep, I hurried to the old mansion and entered the dark room at the previous pace.

In the dark room, ten oil lamps continued to burn, and I don't know what kind of oil the lamp oil prepared by my grandmother was made of, and it was consumed very slowly.

After waiting for a while, I cautiously left the dark room.

When I left the small courtyard and was about to go back, I suddenly saw Xu Buhuo's back flashing not far away.

I looked in the direction where Xu Buhuo left, and felt that if nothing else, he should go to the Houshan cemetery.

What for?

I followed curiously, and found that Xu Buhuo was very fast, and he didn't stop when he arrived at the back mountain, but directly turned to the black water ditch on the side of the back mountain cemetery.

Heishuigou is a deep ditch with dense weeds, there are many snakes and insects, the environment is shady, and it is close to the cemetery in the back mountain, and the people in the village basically don't go, I don't know what Xu Buhuo is going to do.

I followed all the way, and when I arrived at Heishuigou, Xu Buhuo's speed slowed down, and I was about to catch up and ask him what he was doing here, when there was a noise from the side.

When I turned my head, I was so frightened that I hurriedly squatted down, and my scalp was tingling for a while.

Uncle Qin.

Uncle Qin, who had been hiding for a long time, finally appeared, and just when I was frightened, Xu Buhuo walked up to meet Uncle Qin.

Seeing Xu Buhuo, Uncle Qin smiled.

This scene made me confused.
