Chapter 142: Borrowing the Corpse to Return the Soul
Many people in front of them were knocked aside by Wu Zhiyuan, Wu Zhiyuan had no time to pay attention, rushed over and pushed the person who lifted the lid of the coffin away, and glanced into the coffin.
At a glance, Wu Zhiyuan immediately recognized the identity of the person lying in the coffin, and a fragment flashed in his mind, the slender figure standing by the waterhole under the mountain lion was the woman in the coffin! Fortunately, she is not Sheng Wanxiang, but the daughter of the fifth uncle.
The fifth uncle went out to do business more than ten years ago and picked up a baby girl on a snowy night, which made the fifth uncle and the fifth aunt, who had no children, overjoyed, so they raised the baby girl hard and regarded it as their own, because she was picked up on a snowy night, so she was named "Xue'er". Now Xue'er is also twenty-eight years old, born beautiful, tall and moving.
I didn't expect it to be her! Although Xue'er grew up in Wujia Village, her surname is not Wu, which is consistent with what Sun Xiangu said.
Although Wu Zhiyuan and Xue'er belong to the same age, the two are not familiar with each other, and they have rarely communicated, because Xue'er has lived in the boudoir for a long time since she was a child, and occasionally goes out to help the fifth aunt wash vegetables, and the more important reason is that Xue'er is a mute.
Wu Zhiyuan looked at Xue'er's appearance in the coffin, and had a moment of melancholy in the electric light, if Dong Qian was attached to her, would she be dumb after coming back to life?
But this moment of hesitation was fleeting, and Wu Zhiyuan found that the coffin fell to the ground with his back to the moon, so the moonlight did not shine into the coffin at all. He didn't know what the effect of letting the moonlight shine on the corpse was in the way, but Sun Xiangu had told him a thousand times, thinking that it was a very important step to resurrect the soul through the corpse, so he took Xue'er's body out of the coffin with both hands and put it on the lid of the coffin that had been lifted to the ground. The moonlight then shone on Cher's face, reflecting a miserable white countenance.
The funeral crowd gathered around, and Wu Qiang, who was the first to take the lead, rushed over, grabbed Wu Zhiyuan's collar, and shouted and asked him what he wanted to do.
Wu Zhiyuan couldn't speak, and he didn't have time to speak, so he swung out his right palm and knocked Wu Qiang to the ground, while his left hand put the brocade box on Xue'er's chest.
Wu Zhiyuan couldn't believe that it was so simple to borrow a corpse to resurrect the soul, but he did it completely according to the steps instructed by Sun Xiangu, and he didn't dare to make the slightest omission. After the brocade box was placed on Xue'er's chest, Wu Zhiyuan didn't see any special phenomenon happening, and the brocade box didn't seem to react.
At this time, everyone came over to set up Wu Zhiyuan, the fifth uncle and five aunts rushed over and cried and counted Wu Zhiyuan's no, while carrying Xue'er's body into the coffin, Wu Qiang and others lifted the coffin lid and was about to seal the coffin, but they stood next to the coffin and were stunned, and after a while, they let out an exclamation, and retreated again and again.
Seeing the reaction of Wu Qiang and others, Wu Zhiyuan knew that his soul had been restored, he broke free from the people next to him, hurriedly rushed to the coffin, looked down at the coffin, and saw Xue'er opening her eyes at this time, her hands on her abdomen moved slightly, and then the whole person slowly sat up from the coffin.
At this time, the funeral crowd suddenly exploded, and everyone began to scatter and flee, because the scene of the corpse on this moonlit night was too terrifying, when had these rural villagers seen it?
In an instant, only Wu Zhiyuan and the fifth uncle and fifth aunt who showed a frightened look were left next to the coffin, Wu Zhiyuan looked straight at Xue'er, while the fifth uncle and fifth aunt sat on the ground, their mouths open because of fright.
"Miss Dong." Wu Zhiyuan looked at Xue'er sitting in the coffin and called softly, he wasn't sure if the other party could hear him, because most of the mute people were deaf in both ears.
"Wu Zhiyuan." Xue'er also looked directly at Wu Zhiyuan and responded softly.
Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard that she could speak, he didn't expect Xue'er to speak after Dong Qian's return to Yang, and the fifth uncle and couple on the side had an incredible look, the two looked at Xue'er, as if they had seen a monster, the two pointed at Xue'er and asked in unison: "Xue'er, are you...... You ......"
"Miss Dong, they are your parents before they died." Wu Zhiyuan turned his head to look at Uncle Wu and said to Aunt Wu.
"Dong Qian is dead, and I will be Xue'er in the future." Xue'er smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, turned her head and shouted to Uncle Wu and Aunt Wu, "Dad, mother." ”
The fifth uncle and the fifth aunt slowed down for a while before coming back to their senses, and the two agreed hesitantly. Wu Zhiyuan secretly felt funny when he saw this, but he didn't have time to explain too much to them at this time, so he supported Xue'er and followed the fifth uncle and his wife home.
Soon the entire Wujia Village knew about the corpse, and it was rumored that it had a great deal to do with Wu Zhiyuan, after Wu Zhiyuan helped Xue'er to the fifth uncle's house, there were many bold people who followed, and after finding that Xue'er was indeed a living person, he was no longer as panicked as before, and slowly the whole village also knew that Xue'er was not only not dead, but also able to speak, so the panic was like being blown by a gust of wind and disappeared.
Seeing that Xue'er was not in good health, Wu Zhiyuan planned to go back to his house to have a look, and he was thinking about Sheng Wanxiang. Before he walked out of the courtyard gate of the fifth uncle's house, he saw his parents also walking in with those who came to visit the fifth uncle's house, followed by a figure that he missed day and night.
"Eveningflower!" Wu Zhiyuan recognized her in the crowd at a glance.
Everyone laughed when they saw this, and they all joked that Wu Zhiyuan had a daughter-in-law and forgot his mother, Wu Zhiyuan lowered his head in shame when he heard this, he had been worried about Sheng Wanxiang's safety, so he called out her name at first sight, and ignored his parents.
After a joke, the fifth uncle and others began to ask Wu Zhiyuan what was going on, Wu Zhiyuan didn't know where to start, and he didn't know if Lu Dao should tell Dong Qian about borrowing the corpse to return to the soul, he turned his head to look at Xue'er, that is, Dong Qian, with an inquiring look in his eyes, the latter shook his head lightly at him, and Wu Zhiyuan immediately understood.
In the end, Wu Zhiyuan used the excuse that it was his master who calculated that Xue'er was not dead, and he was able to speak after this catastrophe, so he rushed back in a hurry to prevent everyone from burying Xue'er, and did not mention Dong Qian's matter. After hearing these words, everyone gave a thumbs up and praised the Maoshan faction's clever calculation, which not only solved the crisis of Wujia Village for a hundred years, saved the lives of the whole village, and even Xue'er's life and death could be accurately calculated, if it wasn't for Wu Zhiyuan coming in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Thanks to the Dao Leader of the Maoshan Sect, now that I think about it, we are indeed a little too arbitrary." The fifth uncle helped Xue'er to lie down on the kang head, and said with self-blame.
"It's a shame that you're still a barefoot doctor, Xue'er just choked on water, and she didn't catch her breath, so you said she was hopeless, if you didn't speak, could we bury her?" The fifth aunt reproached the fifth uncle.
Wu Zhiyuan heard the conversation between the fifth uncle and his wife, and roughly understood the reason, but they didn't know that Xue'er was really dead, and the current Xue'er was just Dong Qian's resurrection of the corpse.
"Fifth uncle, what's going on? How did Cher choke on water? Wu Zhiyuan suddenly remembered the shadow of Xue'er he saw by the waterhole under the mountain lion, and it was estimated that what he saw should be Xue'er's soul after death, because after death, the human soul will linger at the place of death or the cemetery where he is buried.
"Ugh." The fifth uncle looked at Xue'er, who was lying on the kang, and sighed, "Xue'er has met a wolf." ”
