13: Be a thief with a weak heart
Letter, gone.
Thinking about it, I'm sure it was under the plate when I read it.
After searching for the whole plate on the table and still not finding the letter, I went to my mother and asked her if she had taken the letter, and she shook her head and said that she didn't know where the letter was put under the plate.
I didn't take it, my mother didn't take it, can the letter still disappear into thin air?
On second thought, I was sure that the letter had indeed been placed under the plate, and that it was now gone, that someone had taken it.
If you want to take the letter, you can only enter the temple.
Thinking of the problematic Xu Buhuo, I asked my mother if he had ever entered the Niantang, and my mother said that he had been in the hall several times yesterday.
I was sure that the letter was taken away by Xu Buhuo, and he was worried that I would check the notes and find out that the letter was not left by my grandmother, so he would find an opportunity to take the letter away. As for how he knew that the letter was hidden under the plate of the offering table, I knew that it was easy for someone like him to find a letter with mysterious skills.
I reminded myself that Xu Buhuo was a dangerous person, and that only by holding his breath could my mother and I not be harmed.
When it was almost dark, Xu Buhuo came back, carrying a big bag, it seemed that he had been in a hurry before, his forehead was full of sweat, and his back clothes were still wet.
My mother hurriedly greeted me, but I was very disgusted, staring at him in my heart and saying that you are a cat crying mouse and fake mercy.
"Ziwu, is there something wrong?" Xu Buhuo suddenly looked up at me.
"Ah, it's fine."
I stammered back and hurriedly got up and went to the kitchen to take shelter.
Heart, it feels like it's about to pop out of my throat.
After eating, Xu couldn't help but hand me a black jade pendant and said, "Wear it, this can protect your spirit from being hooked." ”
Before I knew his intentions, I would definitely put this jade on immediately, but after knowing that he was all fake, I subconsciously felt a little reluctant, feeling that the jade pendant was probably manipulated by him, and it could invisibly bring me some kind of influence.
"What? Do you want to continue to be hooked? ”
Xu Buhuo looked at me with a questioning look, as if he was thinking about why I didn't wear a jade pendant, I was nervous, I didn't want to alarm him, so I smiled and took the jade pendant and put it on.
After that, Xu couldn't help but take out seven copper lamps from his bag, saying that if Mrs. Wang came back tonight, she would leave her behind and completely solve this trouble. During the arrangement, I followed closely behind Xu Buhuo and silently wrote down everything.
The courtyard was buried with red ropes around me, and I asked what the rope was for, and Xu Buhuo said that it was a yang rope, which had a great restraint on the living corpses, and he didn't dare to cross it if he stopped it.
Then, Xu Buhuo also asked him to find a rooster and arranged a magic circle on the yard ground, and after the magic circle was arranged, it was covered with a sheet.
On the wall, a string of small but loud copper bells hangs.
In the end, Xu Buhuo asked me to find a black dog, and I took this opportunity to run to Uncle Qin's house.
"This piece of jade is corpse jade."
As soon as I heard that it was corpse jade, I hurriedly took it down, and then asked what corpse jade was.
"Corpse jade, that is, the jade that has been with the corpse for too long, this kind of jade generally only exists in ancient tombs, and the power of yin and evil inside is very strong, you see this jade, it is soaked in corpse gas, if the corpse gas enters the body, it will be poisoned by the corpse, and if the living person is poisoned by the corpse, the body will gradually become stiff, and then slowly decay."
After a pause, Uncle Qin smiled and said: "I once met a person who was poisoned by a corpse, you haven't seen that miserable, your chest is so rotten that you can see the organs inside, the miraculous thing is that in this case, that person is still alive, watching countless maggots gnaw on his flesh, he can't move, and he doesn't feel anything." ”
Looking at the countless maggots gnawing on their own flesh, I didn't imagine this picture, but the scalp was numb for a while, as if there were countless small insects biting.
I don't want to die of corpse poison, so I said that I don't want this jade pendant, Uncle Qin waved his hand, "I can't do it, if you don't wear it, it will attract his attention, I'll help you deal with it, temporarily seal the corpse qi inside, and protect you." ”
After that, Uncle Qin took the jade pendant into the room, and I stood in the hall and waited, looking at the furnishings around me, I always felt like there was a person hiding somewhere, who was secretly staring at me, feeling weird.
At the same time, I also felt that the temperature in his hall was a little lower than outside, and there was a faint strange smell in the air, which was somewhat familiar, as if I had smelled it somewhere, but I couldn't remember it.
After a while, Uncle Qin came out with the jade pendant, and seeing that nothing had changed, I couldn't help but ask, "Is this okay?" ”
"Don't worry, the corpse qi has been sealed, but you have to remember that when you are in front of him, you can't take out this jade pendant, otherwise it will be easily discovered."
Compared with before, the jade pendant has a lot of ice, and the normal temperature before is now like a piece of ice, and I didn't think much about it.
As for the layout in the courtyard, Uncle Qin said that he didn't care, it was indeed used to destroy the corpse, presumably because Xu Buhuo didn't want Mrs. Wang to disturb his plan, so he was ready to kill her directly.
It's good to extinguish it.
I returned to the old house with the borrowed black dog, and when I entered the door, Xu Buhuo looked up at me, and I was nervous for a while.
"Why did you go for so long?" Xu Buhuo asked.
I held back my nervousness, said that the master's family was not there, and waited at the door for a while, Xu Buhuo nodded, and asked me to tie the black dog to the yard well.
Back in the mourning hall, as soon as I sat down, Xu Buhuo came to me and stared at me and asked, "Has anyone been here during the day?" ”
Did you find something?
I pretended to be calm and said, "The people in the village, they are all here to worship, what's wrong?" ”
"Nothing."
Xu Buhuo frowned and walked to the side, looking at him, I think he should have noticed that Uncle Qin had been here during the day.
They are the kind of people who are very sensitive to each other.
Thinking that Uncle Qin could feel it after just coming here during the day for a while, I couldn't help but feel his fear of him, and felt that he was even more powerful than I imagined, and I couldn't help but worry in my heart about whether Uncle Qin was capable enough.
Approaching twelve o'clock, I took out the soul lamp and put it away.
Although I knew that lighting this lamp might also be Xu Buhuo's arrangement, I could only light it up.
Just like last night, Xu Buhuo picked up a black incense stick and lit it, walked around the coffin, and inserted it on the coffin. I silently wrote it down in my heart, ready to ask Uncle Qin what this dead man's incense is made of, what is it for, and it can be burned overnight.
At about two o'clock in the morning, the light of the soul lamp suddenly turned green.
At the same time, a cold wind blew in the small courtyard, the bell on the wall rang non-stop, and the big black dog tied to the well also stood up and whined out the door.
Xu Buhuo pinched the peachwood sword he brought back during the day and stared at the door.
The door of the small courtyard was already open, and after waiting for a while, the light of the soul suppression lamp returned to normal again, the big black dog shrank back to the ground, and the cold wind in the small courtyard gradually dissipated.
"Isn't she coming?" I couldn't help but ask.
"It wasn't the crazy woman who came just now, it should be the woman you said, she is a ghost, she can sense the situation here, and she doesn't dare to come in."
What is Jiang Yan doing here?
Could it be that he knows that I have a sensible gentleman here, and he knows that Mrs. Wang can't hook my soul, and is ready to do it himself?
I thought it would be another thrilling night, but in fact it was very quiet this night, and there was no movement until dawn.
This situation made me more sure that the messenger behind the control of Mrs. Wang was Jiang Yan, she came in advance, found that there was an arrangement in the courtyard, and knew that Mrs. Wang would come in as long as she came in.
If Mrs. Wang does not appear for a day, she will not be able to live for a day, the arrangement of the courtyard will not be taken away, and the magic circle will be covered and surrounded to avoid failure caused by trampling.
After my mother came to take over, I took Xu Buhuo to the new house to sleep, and when I woke up, it was already more than one o'clock at noon, and when I got up, I saw that Xu Buhuo had left the room, it seemed that I was going to the old house, and I secretly ran to Uncle Qin.
He was enjoying the shade in the yard, and when he saw me coming, he hurriedly asked me what Xu Buhuo had done, and I said no, and asked about Xu Buhuo's dead man's incense.
"Indeed, that incense is called the incense of the dead."
After Uncle Qin was silent for a moment, he said, "Do you know what that incense is made of?" ”
If I knew, I still need to ask? I smiled darkly, pretending to be curious.
"Baby boys and girls who have just completed the moon are killed alive, and the corpses are sealed in containers for nine hundred and eighty-one days, taken out and dried, crushed into powder, and then mixed with spices to make incense."
I didn't expect that the dead man's incense was actually made in such a way, and I couldn't help but feel sick for a while.
Even babies can do it, and for a while, my fear of Xu Buhuo has increased again.
"Dead man's incense has a strong attraction to the soul, he lights a dead man's incense every night and walks around the coffin, in fact, he is summoning the soul with the dead man's incense, but it is your grandmother's dead soul, and the dead soul is found to lock the soul and seize the soul."
Want to bring in your grandmother's ghost?
Thinking that incense is only useful when lit, I subconsciously asked, "Can I extinguish it?" ”
"Yes, but you can't let him find out that you put it out, you have to make the incense go out like an accident."
It's okay, as for how to make the incense go out unexpectedly, you can think about it slowly.
Just as he was about to leave, Uncle Qin took out a small cloth bag the size of a baby's palm and gave it to me. "You can find a chance to put it in his close-fitting bag, and you can help me keep him in check."
The cloth bag seems to contain a lot of things, some soft and some hard, I put it away and left, just arrived at the door of the old house and collided with Xu Buhuo, look at the direction, he just came from the new house.
"What did you do? I've been looking for you for a long time. ”
"I panicked, and the village went around."
I don't know if it's because I'm also a thief, and in the face of Xu Buhuo, I can't help but be nervous, worried about what he will find.
"Turn?"
Xu Buhuo muttered, his hand suddenly grabbed my face, I subconsciously stepped back, only two steps back, my back was against the wall, Xu Buhuo made a straight face, and forcibly pulled my eyelids apart.
"Open your mouth."
I reluctantly opened my mouth, Xu Buhuo's face became very gloomy after seeing it, and I was about to enter the old mansion to avoid him, when he suddenly reached out and pulled the corpse jade I was wearing out of his clothes.
For an instant, I felt a rumbling in my head.
Finished.
