Chapter Seventy-Eight: Soul Coffin, Soul Chaser (II)
According to Zhang Tianshi's meaning, those two paper figures may be the two paper figures that disappeared from the Ma Family Spirit Hall, they are actually the mage's soldiers and horses, sent to do something, but they were broken by me and Lao Tang, so they chased after us.
I thought about it, and yes. I still remember that night, Xiao Nan said that he saw the two paper figures come to life, and we thought it was strange at the time, how could this paper man come back to life, and then Lao Tang and I went to peel off the eyes of the paper man, which is equivalent to breaking the law of the paper man.
At this time, Zhang Tianshi said: "The paper man was broken by you, and he became angry, so he turned his head to deal with you. Therefore, if the teacher is not mistaken, it is no longer a pure paper figure, but a soul chaser driven by the spirit of resentment. ”
"Is this thing awesome?" I wondered.
"Isn't it amazing? Let's put it this way, Soul Chaser not only has the magical power that the mage attached to it as a soldier and horse, but also its resentment is no lighter than that of a ghost, and anyone who is targeted by it generally does not end well. What's more, once this thing is written by the mage with your name written on it, you can't deal with it at all, and if you destroy it, you will be able to give it to yourself. Zhang Tianshi said.
"Huh? So powerful! As soon as I heard this, my head sweated, and my heart was afraid. If that's the case, doesn't that mean we're dead, and since you can't hurt it, you'll end up being killed by it.
Then, Zhang Tianshi also told me that the soldiers and horses in the hands of Mr. Yin and Yang will not become soul chasers, and the soldiers and horses will be ineffective if they are broken by someone, but later there is a Luban warlock (carpenter) who invented a kind of suppression technique, which casts a spell on the soldiers and horses, and breaks the law to make the soldiers and horses resentful and retaliate, so as to prevent others from interfering in breaking their spells. It is said that this Luban warlock was oppressed by a landlord, and every time he went to the town to avenge the landlord, he was resolved by the landlord invited by the gentleman, so this Luban warlock invented this town, and later the landlord invited Mr. to resolve it, and as a result, the soldiers and horses became a soul chaser, and the gentleman was killed.
At that time, when Yin and Yang talked about this time, everyone was panicked and scared, and there was a folk song in the industry: "Mr. has no intention of breaking the evil law, and the three watches are tragically chasing souls." It means that if Mr. unintentionally breaks other people's evil spells during the day, he will die tragically at night in the hands of the soul chaser. Since then, the gentlemen in the yin and yang industry generally know that you have been victimized by evil magic, and most of them dare not easily intervene to help, so as not to provoke the fire.
Hearing that the Soul Chaser was so terrifying, I was so frightened that my face changed, and I urgently asked Zhang Tianshi what to do.
Zhang Tianshi said: "Don't worry, the other party has no intention of harming your life, otherwise he wouldn't have sent a soul coffin." ”
"What? Putting a paper figure with our name written on it in a coffin means that we want to die, why do you say that the other party has no intention of harming us? "I was surprised and curious. You must know that we encountered so many strange things tonight, all thanks to the coffin and the paper man, so when I heard Zhang Tianshi say this, I was a little confused for a while.
I rolled my eyes and asked Master Zhang, "Master, you can't always be joking, right?" ”
Zhang Tianshi said: "Let me tell you the truth, if it weren't for the other party sending the soul coffin, you two horrors would have been dead, and you would have died in the hands of those two soul chasers, where can you talk to me here." ”
"Huh? This...... What the hell is going on, is that coffin still life-saving? "I was shocked.
Who knew that Zhang Tianshi really nodded and said: "The so-called hidden soul coffin, the coffin hides the soul, Lord Yama, you can't be detained." This soul coffin is used to hide the soul and avoid disasters, and the other party let you hide in the soul coffin, which is to let you escape the soul chasing Xiao to ask for your life. ”
"How can this be, since the other party let the soul chaser come to deal with us, why did he send the soul coffin to save us?" My brows furrowed, if it was really like what Zhang Tianshi said, wouldn't it be a contradiction for the other party to do this?
I was very puzzled, I looked at Zhang Tianshi, only to see that he also frowned slightly, thoughtful, and finally said: "The reason why he did this is that there are only two possibilities. ”
Seeing him spitting and spitting, I was about to get anxious, and urged: "Master, when is this coming, don't sell it here, what are the two possibilities, you should hurry up." ”
"Panic ball, there is a teacher, if the other party really dares to harm you, this ghost will not be able to spare him." Zhang Tianshi rolled his eyes, looking very awesome. But that's right, now he is already a ghost in the underworld, and no one really dares to offend.
Pretending to be a good force in front of me, I gave him a ten-point score with my expression, and then Zhang Tianshi said with satisfaction: "These two possibilities, one is that the other party is deliberately playing with you." ”
"Play with me?" I was stunned.
"Yes, let's kill you slowly, anyway, your little life is already in his hands, and when you want to die, you have to die when you want." Zhang Tianshi said.
As soon as I heard this, my heart sank to the bottom. Don't say it, what Zhang Tianshi said is really possible, because when a person destroys his spell (conspiracy), he will inevitably feel resentful, and then think about slowly playing you to death, playing until you are desperate, full of endless fear, and then let you die, this kind of perverted person is not nothing.
Damn, that can't be the case, right?
Seeing that my face was pale, Zhang Tianshi comforted: "However, this is the worst possibility. There is also a possibility that the other party does not intend to take your life at all, but just wants to threaten and intimidate you so that you can understand that you have violated the taboo. Or maybe he wants to coerce you and satisfy some of his goals, so he sends the Hidden Soul Coffin to leave you a way to live. ”
"You're going to threaten us?" I was even more confused when I heard it, we didn't have anything, what did the other party want to coerce us for. However, if the other party is trying to scare us, it probably won't be dangerous.
Zhang Tianshi said: "No matter what the reason is, now that you have a hidden soul coffin, it will be fine for the time being, so you have to find each other as soon as possible to see what the other party wants to do." ”
I nodded, Zhang Tianshi is the head of the analysis, now such speculation is fruitless, only by finding the other party, can we know the real purpose of the other party.
After informing him of these things, Zhang Tianshi said that there was official business in the prefecture and that he could not talk about it for a long time, and then left in a hurry. However, when he was leaving, he didn't forget to tell me not to hurt those two paper figures, hurting the paper figures is equivalent to hurting ourselves, and only the mage who casts the spell can resolve all this.
After Zhang Tianshi left, I slowly opened my eyes, and then Lao Tang, who was waiting on the side, anxiously asked me how I was, have you seen your master?
I nodded, and then told him everything about the Soul Hidden Coffin and the Soul Chaser, including Zhang Tianshi's analysis and views on this matter.
After listening to everything I said, Lao Tang's face turned gray, and he said in frustration: "In this way, our little life is in the hands of others, unless the other party lets us go, otherwise we will have no life?" ”
I nodded and said, "That's what my master said, I hope the other party won't take our lives for the Ma family's affairs, otherwise we will fight with him." ”
Lao Tang sighed, accepting the helpless reality in front of him.
By the time I figured it all out, it was already getting dark. It's no idea to continue sleeping, and who can sleep in this kind of trouble? I guess even if I fall asleep, I will have nightmares.
We made up our minds that when it was dark, we would find each other.
Through the information Zhang Tianshi said, I can probably guess that the other party is most likely a carpenter, that is, the shop where Mr. Ma bought the coffin. Why do you say that, because Zhang Tianshi said that the Soul Hidden Coffin and the Soul Chaser are both spells that belong to the Luban Warlock. And the Luban Warlock is actually a carpenter. And the carpenter who can be imagined at the moment, and who is related to the Ma family, is only the coffin maker who sells coffins.
Because this hidden soul coffin is currently our life-saving thing, Lao Tang and I carried the coffin into the fortune-telling hall.
Entering the hall, the paper figure with Lao Tang's name written on it was still standing at the foot of the wall of the window, motionless, obviously when they asked for their lives, every move was controlled by the mage behind them.
Lao Tang saw that the paper man was wearing his clothes, so he hurriedly took off the clothes from the paper man, and then put them back on himself. I looked around, but I couldn't find the paper figure with my name written on it.
You know, since I put on the paper man's clothes, then the paper man probably also wore my clothes, but what about the paper man? How could it be gone?
Lao Tang also searched everywhere with me, but I couldn't find it. It wasn't until I finally got back to the bed in my bedroom to find another set of clothes in my bag to change into, that I found another paper figure lying on my bed, and my clothes were indeed on it!
Thinking that I had slept in bed with this paper figure before, and I didn't even know it, to be honest, I was really a little scared.
After changing clothes, the sky is bright, and people start their day again, and they are busy.
We had a casual breakfast, and then we called Jack Ma to ask him who he had offended, whether it was the person who sold the coffin who wanted to kill ......
