Chapter 21: The Beggar Taoist

I was furious: "What do you mean? ”

"What do I mean?" Sun Miao smiled, came to me, and whispered: "Don't blame me for not reminding you, the true qi disorder in your body has been in the industry for less than a year at most, with your strength, you can't take care of the affairs here, so let's leave quickly." ”

It is a man who has a stubborn temper to some extent, especially when I was only eighteen years old at that time, and my blood was strong, and when I heard Sun Miao say this, the fire in my heart became even greater.

I sneered: "Whether you can deal with it or not is not something you can judge by a word, take care of yourself." ”

"Okay, there's a kind!" Sun Miao smiled and turned to talk to Kong Haiyuan.

At this time, Qin Chuyun's voice sounded in his mind: "I can't see through this person's strength, it should be very strong, you should be more careful yourself." ”

"Hmm." I replied softly.

After Sun Miao finished talking to Kong Haiyuan, Kong Haiyuan looked at me with a sad face.

"Little Master Chen Jue, look at this ......"

"It's okay, didn't he say it himself? You just need to take care of his food, and he can help you, so let's do it together. I said.

"This ......" Kong Haiyuan didn't expect things to turn out like this, he looked left and right, but still agreed, and invited me and Sun Miao into the house together.

Kong Haiyuan's home has a structure similar to that of a courtyard house in Beijing, with a large courtyard in the middle and houses on all sides.

The three of us walked into the courtyard together, at this time, the door of the inner room was pushed open, and out of it came a woman of the same age as Kong Haiyuan, after the woman saw us standing in the courtyard, she said to Kong Haiyuan, speaking in dialect, which roughly means that if you invite three gentlemen, it doesn't work, why waste money, since Mom doesn't want to enter the ground, don't go into it.

Kong Haiyuan was also embarrassed, pulled the woman aside, whispered a few words to the other party, the woman turned her head to look at us from time to time, her face was full of disgust, after Kong Haiyuan finished speaking, she muttered and complained in her mouth.

In fact, I can also understand, after all, this happened more than ten days ago, and whoever invited three gentlemen for more than ten days will be irritable if there is no effect at all, and to do our business, what we pay attention to is a Taoist fairy style, your ability can be average, but you must be old, and the posture must be sufficient, so that it is enough to be convincing, I don't need to say, in the eyes of outsiders, he is a little child, and Sun Miao is dressed as a beggar, and he looks more unreliable than me.

In the face of disdain, we didn't say anything, and after the woman returned to the room, Kong Haiyuan walked back to us, bent down and apologized, saying that his daughter-in-law was also in a hurry, and told us not to take it to heart.

I smiled and said it was okay, but Sun Miao tilted her head and asked, "What did she just say?" ”

Kong Haiyuan's mother's coffin could not be moved, so it had been placed in an empty room on the east side of the courtyard since the burial.

Kong Haiyuan proposed to go to see his mother's coffin first, and saw that there was something wrong at the bottom, but Sun Miao said that he was not in a hurry at this time, he was hungry now, and asked Kong Haiyuan to get him something to eat first.

Kong Haiyuan was also good-tempered, so he really did it, and during the time when Sun Miao was eating, I followed Kong Haiyuan to the room where her mother's coffin was placed.

I took out a compass from the things I brought, put it in my hand and fiddled with it, and walked around the coffin twice, after a person dies, whether the soul is turned into a ghost or is taken away by the Yin soldiers and ghosts to reincarnate, it can be measured through the compass around the corpse, but there is no resentment in the coffin in front of me, yin qi, some are just corpse gas, which means that the corpse in the coffin has not undergone any abnormal changes, but really died, and the soul may have already gone down to the underworld to be reincarnated.

Weird? I couldn't help but glance at Kong Haiyuan, and just as I was about to speak, Sun Miao outside walked in with a full hiccup.

"Hey, boy, do you see what?"

Sun Miao's tone of voice made me extremely unhappy, I snorted coldly, and said to Kong Haiyuan, "Can you open the coffin and take a look?" ”

"Okay." Kong Haiyuan said, and cooperated with me to remove the coffin lid together.

"The gentlemen who came before also examined the corpses, and they all said that my mother was puzzled and her soul was not gone." Kong Haiyuan said, I looked inside the coffin, because it had been dead for more than ten days, and the weather was hot, Kong Haiyuan's mother's body was already a little decomposed and smelly, and I couldn't help pinching my nose.

took out the compass again, who would have thought, Sun Miao on the side actually laughed out loud at this time: "I said, didn't you kid see anything, and still take the compass?" Pretending? ”

"You!" I really retorted to him, but it turns out that I really haven't seen anything so far.

"Oh, put the compass away, it's not like this, look at me." Sun Miao patted me on the shoulder, and then said to Kong Haiyuan: "This matter, we have to start with the scared stupid kid in your house and call him out." ”

"You, how do you know my nephew is scared silly?" Kong Haiyuan was surprised at this time, and I also looked at Sun Miao with some incredulity, it turned out that Kong Haiyuan hadn't told him about it yet, so how did he know? Is there such a god?

But I quickly found a reason to convince myself, the matter of Kong Haiyuan's family is bizarre and weird, and it has been happening for half a month, and three gentlemen have been invited during this period, and the matter will inevitably be revealed, as long as people who live in nearby villages will know, this Sun Miao must also be one of them.

Sun Miao laughed twice: "Say, only I can manage this matter, no one else can do it, hurry up." When Sun Miao spoke, he deliberately looked at me and made a victorious expression, so angry that I was itching my teeth, and he couldn't help it.

After a while, Kong Haiyuan took out the little boy he said was stupid and gave it to me and Sun Miao.

The little boy looks like a likable person, tiger-headed, but now he has no eyes, no expression, and even snot flows to his mouth and doesn't know how to suck it, except for Kong Haiyuan when he led him to walk, the rest of the time, he stood motionless, looking at it from a distance, it was a humanoid sculpture.

"After that night, he became like this, he even had to be helped by others when he opened his mouth to eat, and the three gentlemen he invited before also showed it, saying that his soul was taken away by my mother, but my mother loved him the most during her lifetime, and there was no reason to hook his soul." The corners of Kong Haiyuan's eyes were a little moist when he spoke, and I saw that his eyes were red, and it seemed that he had cried a lot these days.

"He's not your son, is he?" Sun Miao asked.

"No, Xiaodong is my nephew, my brother stabbed his lover three times with a knife last year because of his wife's cheating, and almost stabbed him to death, and then his wife divorced, my brother was arrested and imprisoned for three years, Xiaodong was sentenced by the court to my brother, and was temporarily handed over to me to take care of."

Hearing that this child named Xiaodong has such a complicated family background, I can't help but feel a little sad.

Sun Miao nodded, did not speak, he crossed his hands, circled around Xiaodong's four circles, and after stopping, Sun Miao frowned and said: "This person has three souls and seven spirits, all of which are indispensable, obviously, this kid has lost a soul." ”

After getting Sun Miao's reply, Kong Haiyuan was surprised: "Ah! Who could have snatched Xiaodong's soul away? ”

This time, Sun Miao did not reply directly, but said that he had to take a look again, and after that, Sun Miao walked back and forth in the room and courtyard where Kong Haiyuan's mother's coffin was placed, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said his conclusion.

"Your nephew's soul must have been snatched away by your mother."

Kong Haiyuan was even more surprised: "It's impossible, my mother liked Xiaodong the most when she was alive, how could she hook his soul?" ”

"This person is alive and dead, completely different states, even if he is a good person in life, after death may become full of evil, extremely vicious, this is normal."

Hearing Sun Miao say this, I couldn't help frowning, he said that it was right that Xiaodong's soul was lost, but he also said that Xiaodong's soul was taken away by Kong Haiyuan's mother, which is a bit nonsense, I obviously checked it just now, Kong Haiyuan's mother's soul has not turned into a ghost or a ghost, and even now it is very likely that he has been reincarnated, how can he take away Xiaodong's soul again.

So I said: "Sun Miao, what you said is a bit nonsense, Dean Kong's mother's soul has not turned into a ghost at all, how can you hook Xiaodong's soul?" ”

Seeing that I retorted, Kong Haiyuan looked at me and Sun Miao hesitantly, and Sun Miao sneered: "Are you sure?" ”

Looking at Sun Miao's confident appearance, I don't know when, my palms were full of sweat, and I couldn't believe what I saw, but the use of this compass was taught to me by my grandfather, and it was impossible for him to lie to me, so I also sneered: "Sure." ”

"Well, tonight, I will summon the soul of Dean Kong's mother and ask about it, and when the time comes, won't everything be clear?"

Sun Miao swore that what he said was true, although I was doubtful in my heart, but on the surface, I couldn't lose, so I pretended to be calm and said, "Okay, then I'll wait." ”

Looking at the time, there are still more than two hours before the time, and Kong Haiyuan's house has many rooms, so he has two rooms for me and Sun Miao to live in tonight.

During the time of waiting for Sun Miao's spirit, I was unwilling, and once again ran to the room where Kong Haiyuan's mother's coffin was placed to check, but I still didn't see anything, and in the process of checking, I was also frightened by a fat mouse the size of a palm.

After the rat got out of the rat hole in the corner of the wall, he stood upright like a person, standing on the edge of the coffin, looking at me with a pair of small eyes, and seeing that I was hairy, although the old superstition in the countryside said that no animal could pass by the coffin during the period when the dead were suspended, for fear that the qi on the animal's body would affect the dead and lead to the corpse, but at this time the first seven had passed, and there was not so much to pay attention to, I stomped my foot hard and scared the mouse away.

Back in the house, I discussed the matter here with Qin Chuyun, she was the same as I thought, she was not optimistic about Sun Miao's soul conjuring, but the words she said inadvertently did give me a wake-up call.

"Do you think it's because after the soul was hooked away, it was sealed somewhere, and the connection with your own body was severed, so you can't see anything?"

Hearing Qin Chuyun say this, a light flashed in my mind, and I remembered the clay pots that I saw when I was in the ghost market before, and I was standing on the edge of the clay pot at that time, but I didn't feel the slightest trace of yin qi.

That method can even seal a hundred-year-old Dao ghost, and now this is just an old lady's unjust soul turned into after her death, it should be easier, but in this case, the doubt comes again, if Kong Haiyuan's mother's soul is really sealed somewhere, why is Sun Miao so sure that she can recall her soul.

Gradually, a bad idea appeared in my mind, and I began to wonder if this matter was a ghost made by Sun Miao, now that I think about it, this Sun Miao was dressed in tatters, and suddenly appeared at this point in time, saying that he was a Taoist priest from Wutai Mountain, and he just wanted a full meal to help solve things, no matter how he thought about it, this Sun Miao had a big problem.
