Chapter 13: The Altar
It's ...... It seems to be a living thing, the strength is quite big, I can feel it with both hands and a top plank in it, the impact is very strong, I really told Qiang Shun, so that the strength is too small to hold it down, after Qiang Shun let go, I had to press the upper body up.
Qiang Shun turned around and hid to the side at this time, Chen Hui came over and squatted in front of me, I turned my head to look at him, and saw him put his hand into his arms and groped for it, and after a while, he took out a cloth bag from his arms, because it was black, and he couldn't see what color the bag was, it seemed to be a yellow one, and the mouth of the bag could be as big as a child's head, cylindrical, and the whole child could be about a foot long.
Chen Hui opened the mouth of the bag, and then asked me to remove the wooden board on the altar, I immediately understood, Chen Hui wanted to put the things in the jar into the bag, what was in the jar, I was very curious at this time.
I began to move the plank little by little, and Chen Hui propped up the bag and prepared to catch it.
Soon, a third of the planks were removed for me, revealing a black crack in the mouth of the jar.
With a "bang", the inside seemed to notice that the plank had moved away, and it slammed into the gap, much harder than the previous impact, causing both of my arms to tremble.
At the same time, I saw a black whirring thing flash under the gap, and I couldn't see what it was.
When I wanted to move the plank again, there was another "bang", this time the force was even greater, and I almost didn't lift the plank, and the contents seemed to be eager to rush out of the crack, I hurriedly pressed the plank, and didn't dare to move it anymore, and I had to rush it out again.
At this time, Chen Hui motioned to me to wait for the things inside to hit again, and then take advantage of the situation to move all the boards.
I nodded, I understood what Chen Hui meant, he wanted to take advantage of the moment the thing rushed out of the jar, and he couldn't help but cover it with a bag.
At this time, I almost figured out the frequency of the impact of this thing, and it would hit it in about two or three seconds.
I nodded at Chen Hui again, but I pressed the wooden plank, and the contents of it hit it twice, almost two seconds apart.
When the thing inside hit me for the third time, I nodded at Chen Hui, took a deep breath, and slammed the wooden board into my arms.
The mouth of the jar was completely open, and a foul fishy smell came out of it with a "poof", and then a long black thing rushed out of the mouth of the jar with a long strip of black and arrows.
What is this? Startled by this thing, he immediately gasped, but before I could see what it was, Chen Hui let out a low sigh and grabbed the bag towards the thing.
This thing, as if it didn't expect that there was a bag waiting for it outside the jar, and it rushed out quickly on its own, "whoosh" and got into the bag impartially.
I looked at the bag, and there was still a large part of the body exposed outside the mouth of the bag, which was also long, arm thick, black, and looked ...... It seems to be a snake, and at this time, we are surrounded by a fishy smell, and we don't know if it's in the jar or this thing.
Chen Hui moved very fast at this time, and quickly shook the mouth of the bag upward, and the back half of the body of this thing also fell into the bag, followed by Chen Hui with both hands, and tightened the mouth of the bag.
At this time, this thing seemed to notice that something was wrong, and it fluttered and tossed in the bag, and I wanted to go up to help, but Chen Hui's movements were really sharp enough, not at all like a person in his seventies, he didn't even stop, grabbed the mouth of the bag, and fell down with his backhand on the roof.
This was something I didn't expect, and I was stunned and didn't dare to step forward.
This time I fell, the contents of the bag seemed to be in pain, and the degree of tossing was suddenly reduced, but Chen Hui did not stop, picked up the bag and fell several times in a row, especially the last few times, I almost heard the sound of bones breaking, Chen Hui seemed to have broken the head of that thing.
After falling a few more times, the thing didn't move, Chen Hui shook it with the bag, probably to see if it was dead, but he saw that the things in the bag were motionless, and I guess it was almost impossible to die.
Chen Hui breathed a long sigh of relief, I leaned over to look at Chen Hui at this time, and then looked at the bag, the bag was bulging, it seemed that this thing was not small, I asked Chen Hui: "Dao Chief, what is this thing?" ”
Chen Hui glanced at me and spit out a word from his mouth lightly, "Snake." ”
Sure enough, it was a snake, and I don't know if this snake had anything to do with the snake on the man's arm.
Then, Chen Hui raised his hand and pointed to the southeast corner of the house and said, "Look at what is on that corner." ”
I turned my head to look at the corner of the room that Chen Hui was pointing to, but I didn't see anything, it was empty.
"Let's go over and have a look."
I nodded, according to Chen Hui's words, I walked to the southeast corner of the house, looked down, there seemed to be something on the corner of the wall, round and flat, not very clear, squatting down and then take a closer look, it seems to be a flat small round plate, but still can't see what it is, quickly took out a lighter from the body, took a look, saw clearly, it turned out to be a small round mirror, can have the size of a palm, the mirror face down, back up, buckled on the roof, I can only see the back of the mirror at this time, this back is actually blood red, it's like smeared blood, and it feels a little crazy.
Chen Hui also walked over at this time and said, "You pick up the mirror and take a look." ”
I reached out and picked up the mirror from the corner of the wall, turned the mirror over, and was just about to look at it in front of my eyes, when Chen Hui said again: "Don't look yourself in the mirror." ”
I was stunned for a moment, but I understood what Chen Hui meant. Looking in the mirror at night, it is easy to have an accident, and this mirror is obviously not an ordinary mirror.
I quickly turned the mirror over to the outside of me, and while making sure that I wasn't reflected in the mirror, I held the lighter and looked at the mirror.
I saw that on this mirror, a bunch of black runes were drawn in a mess, crooked, looking hideous and evil.
Chen Hui said again at this time: "This is the soul control array, there is a mirror in the four corners of the house, and there is a ghost trapped in each mirror. ”
I glanced at Chen Hui in astonishment. The one who restricts the freedom of ghosts with some kind of instrument will also be punished, not to mention using these ghosts to set up a formation, it seems that this person is not a good person.
I stood up with the mirror, looked at the bag in Chen Hui's hand, and then at the mirror in my hand, and I asked, "Who put these things here, is it really a curse from their family?" ”
Chen Hui shook his head slowly, carrying the bag and walking towards the east wall of the roof, at this time, the wind that was originally howling stopped at some point, and it was dark and quiet in all directions.
I followed Chen Hui to the east edge of the roof, Chen Hui looked down condescendingly, I also looked down, below is a bungalow, in front of the bungalow is a yard, this should be the man's neighbor's house, at this time, their neighbor's house is completely dark, and the people in the family are estimated to have fallen asleep a long time ago.
Chen Hui looked at the bungalow below and said, "It is unlikely that their own family members will curse, and I think that the person who cursed may have come from here." ”
Hearing Chen Hui say this, I took a closer look at this neighbor's house, and it was really possible that it came from a man's neighbor's house. As long as you use a wooden ladder, the ladder stands behind the neighbor's house, and then goes up the ladder to the roof of their neighbor's house, and then pulls the ladder to the roof, and then erects it to the second floor of the man's house, and then you can climb up to the roof of their house along the ladder, but can the person who made the curse be so blatant, and put an altar on the roof, and put mirrors in the four corners, is he not afraid that the people in the man's house will find out? A few mirrors are not very eye-catching, and they may not be found in the corner of the wall, but this jar is placed in the middle of the man's house, and such a big object can be seen by the blind.
I turned my head and asked Chen Hui again: "If outsiders let it go, won't anyone in their family find out about the man?" ”
Chen Hui shook his head, paused for a while, and said, "With my years of experience, it is unlikely that their own family members will curse it. ”
As he spoke, Chen Hui turned around and walked towards the altar, I followed him to the altar, Chen Hui asked me to use the lighter to shine the light, and he glanced inside the altar.
When he looked at it, I asked him what he saw, and if there was anything else in it?
Chen Hui shook his head again, and then beckoned me to Qiang Shun to take down the mirror and the jar, and take a closer look below.
With Qiang Shun, the two of them packed up the materials on the roof, and followed Chen Hui downstairs.
At this time, the man was still waiting in the room, as soon as we entered the house, we put the jar and mirror on the ground, the man came over, looked at us, and then looked at the jar, puzzled, and asked Chen Hui: "Dao Chief, why did you take down the sauce jar upstairs in our house, the sauce in it has not been dried yet." ”
What? The three of us were stunned for a moment, Chen Hui looked at the man and asked, "This jar belongs to your family?" ”
The man nodded hurriedly, "It's our family's, the jar used to make sauce, the sauce that was just stuffed a few days ago, hasn't been made yet." ”
When Chen Hui heard this, he picked up the jar and walked under the lamp, looked down at the inside of the jar, and was stunned.
When I was a child, my grandmother and my mother often made this sauce, and it was usually a "bean paste" made of soybeans.
However, it feels so wrong, it's not right, I can't say it.
