Chapter 133: A Dagger
Before entering the basement, Ji Zimo had been secretly pondering a problem. If according to the situation that appeared in the previous omen, then where are so many people who died in the Ji family's old mansion? If they were all buried in the basement, wouldn't the basement be a tomb?
And many of these graves he did not recognize, and even did not even have a surname.
But when I think about it, I don't think it's right. The Ji family's old house is located in the wilderness, and there is a cemetery behind the woods. There are not many graves in the cemetery, and there are no regularities, no sorting, and no tombstones are erected, maybe those who were secretly implicated and died by the Ji family's old mansion.
After making up his mind in his heart, he noticed that the Xing Ling was not in a good condition, and he almost fell down just now. It must have been caused by her overcasting, and now it was Ji Zimo's turn to take care of her.
With the input of the star spirit's spiritual power, Ji Zimo was no longer disturbed by the bewitching evil spirits from the outside world, but because of the input of the star spirit's spiritual power, she seemed weak and moved not as quickly as before, and she was slightly sluggish.
Finally, the two of them came to the pile of broken bones. Skulls, broken bones, don't think that this is a human bone, there is nothing to be afraid of, but Ji Zimo is an emotional person, and his brain is uncontrollable.
I wonder what this bone-broken owner looked like when he was alive, whether it would be no different from the dead man lying on the morgue in the funeral home. I want him to become a ghoul, I don't know how much dead man's carrion he has eaten, and I don't know if his parents in the secret room have anything to do with this ghoul.
Suppose that the parents were hurt by Ji Shanshan and abandoned in the basement. Then, in the ghost moon, the ghouls appeared, and the two of them hid in the secret room in fright.
Looking at the changes in Ji Zimo's facial expression, Xing Ling knew that he was thinking about his parents again.
"Don't think about it, what we have to do is to break the curse as soon as possible, only to break the curse, all this is easy to do."
In fact, Xing Ling has no bottom in his heart. She didn't know if the curse would be automatically solved after burying Ji Zimo's grandfather and grandmother together. She didn't know what would happen next, and she was distressed by the loss of her prophetic powers.
This is all due to the imbalance of yin and yang caused by overcasting.
In the past, Ji Zimo became silent after learning the truth about his parents' deaths. What the star spirit says, what he does, is like a lifeless log. Because of the sluggishness, the numbness and the shadow of Su Qingmei in his mind became blurred.
But after the star spirit input the spiritual power, his mind was like a movie, scene after scene, clearly appeared in his mind.
He was sure that he had seen his grandmother in this place. Squat down and try to hit the ground, if there is a sound in the air, there must be something wrong. The hard work paid off, and Ji Zimo finally found a suspicious place. The basement is stacked with bricks, and it's easy to get started with just finding the point.
He used his fingers to pull out a moving brick and continued to dig deeper.
Leaning against the wall, the Star Spirit couldn't stand up to help.
She felt that she was getting weaker and weaker, which was caused by being far away from the ground and inputting too much spiritual power into Ji Zimo.
The star spirits need to rest, they need to retreat and practice.
But she can't do it yet, she must make sure that Ji Zimo finds his grandfather's bones in a foolproof situation. The curse must be resolved before the night of the full moon of the ghost moon, otherwise, his life will be in danger.
Ji Zimo continued to dig, his fingers stuffed with dirt. This reminded him of the situation in his parents' fingernails, and he couldn't help but be stunned, could it be that his parents were also trying to find his grandfather, and then he was discovered by a ghoul and hid in the secret room to die?
"Remember?" The current star spirit is no different from ordinary people, and she can no longer penetrate Ji Zimo's inner thoughts. Her voice was weak and small, and there was no more carefree laughter. Ji Zimo was very uneasy, and he kept looking at her while digging.
The early morning was approaching, and Ji Zimo was anxious and accelerated the speed of excavation.
"Be careful, don't let your fingers bleed." Xing Ling reminded inappropriately.
"Why?"
"If I'm not mistaken, ghouls are awakened by fresh blood."
Fresh! Ji Zimo tried hard to recall, and suddenly thought of the situation where Su Qingmei's fingers were cut and blood dripped on the ground. However, he couldn't remember the details, and it seemed that Xing Ling was right.
He cautiously continued to dig, his fingers stopping abruptly as he touched a hard object. In a one-legged half-kneeling position, continue to dig deeply, and then pick up an object from the bottom of the excavated pit.
It is a thing that resembles a short-bladed weapon wrapped in black silk.
"There's nothing else under the pit?"
Ji Zimo shook his head, "No." β
"You open it and take a look." Xing Ling barely stood up, and his pale face made Ji Zimo feel pity.
"Are you alright?"
"Don't worry, you can't die." The Star Spirit giggled, and his laughter was less crisp and a little dry.
"You can't die." Ji Zimo spit out four words with difficulty, and under the gaze of Xing Ling, he cautiously opened the black silk cloth that wrapped the object.
A cold dagger was presented in front of Ji Zimo and Xing Ling. The two of them looked at each other, their eyes full of questions. Looking at the dagger tacitly, Ji Zimo turned the dagger over and over again, and there was a deep bloodletting groove on the dagger, with a font.
When Ji Zimo showed the dagger in the black silk cloth, he felt a chill from his neck to his backbone. This is a bloodless dagger that kills people, and the blood is still faintly precipitated in the bloodletting tank, and the long-aged relationship has become dark brown.
Font: Matsuji Yoshida.
"Islanders?" Ji Zimo was surprised.
Star Spirit's eyes widened, "This is really an island thing, how can it be in the basement of your house?" β
Ji Zimo was also puzzled, and the nerves that had just been relaxed were tensed again. Oh, yes! What does this dagger have to do with grandpa? How could it be in the basement of the Ji family's old mansion, and where are the bones of grandpa! I don't have a clue why.
"Don't be discouraged, keep looking around this piece." Xingling took a break, a little better, and she was also in a hurry. Time waits for no one, minute by minute, the two of them have come to the Ji family's old mansion for more time than the pre-estimated time.
In addition, her energy is decreasing, because the more yin and heavy the environment, the more it affects her normal performance. On the contrary, the place where the yin qi is overweight will unconsciously absorb her energy. It's like a magnet, it is slowly sucked up, and the end result is unimaginable.
In addition, in order to save Ji Zimo, she desperately injected spiritual power into him, which made a big taboo, so that she was pushed into danger.
It's a good thing to have a dagger, although Ji Zimo thinks that this dagger may not bring him good luck, it's better than looking for it with his bare hands. He used the dagger to look around the perimeter and find something suspicious under a shabby tarpaulin.
Under the tarpaulin, there are traces of burning candles, which are still there even though they were from a long time ago.
Ji Zimo used a dagger to scrape the blackened bricks of the candle paper money, and with a gentle prie, the bricks loosened. I saw a wooden plank, and struck it with a dagger to make a clattering sound.
It's a simple coffin.
Ji Zimo was about to pry open the wooden board with a dagger, when Xing Ling suddenly screamed, startling him instinctively looking up, and he couldn't help but gasp at this sight. The star spirit body chose to be in mid-air, his legs kicked hard, and his hair was firmly controlled by something.
He couldn't see what was attacking the star spirits, but he could sense that the one who came was not good.
"Ji Shanshan, don't make trouble." Ji Zimo's calm tone and extremely cold expression deterred Ji Shanshan, who attacked the star spirit.
A face as pale as paper appeared in front of Ji Zimo. She was still dressed like that, with a wicked smile on her face, and her eyes were cold to the bone, glaring at him fiercely.
"Brother, you are so powerful, you dare to come to the Ji family's old mansion at this time, and you dare to come to the forbidden place of the Ji family's old mansion, you really deserve to be the only guardian ghost of our Ji family's old mansion."
"Shanshan, brother knows that you are wronged, isn't this working hard? I'm trying to break the curse and take you home. β
"Hahaha, brother, you're mistaken, this is our home, we've been together since we were kids, why are you leaving." Ji Shanshan's emotions suddenly lost control, she was furious, and she spat out a cold breath.
Suddenly, the temperature in the basement plummeted. The air turned into ice, and the walls were instantly covered with frost.
The star spirit fluttered down, but her slight gasping did not play a role in disguise. Ji Shanshan smiled evilly, walked up to her, and stretched out her sharp ghost claws to her.
"Wait." Ji Zimo shouted angrily: "She is an outsider, you can't hurt her." β
"Really?" Ji Shanshan gathered around Xing Ling, tilted her head, looked carefully, smacked her lips and said: "I think she has moved her heart, you must know that the little fox fairy is not small, if she didn't put spiritual power into you regardless of life and death, she would not have planted and fought in our Ji family's old mansion." β
"Shanshan, listen to brother, you wait patiently, we don't have much time, when I find grandpa's bones and bury them with grandma, our family's curse will be resolved."
When Ji Shanshan heard Ji Zimo say this, a sly smile condensed on her bewitching face, and then she laughed exaggeratedly: "Hahaha, what a childish idea, do you think the curse was made by our grandmother?" Then he glanced at Xing Ling contemptuously and said, "Just by her, she can dissolve the curse of our Ji family's old mansion, you guys are too underestimate this matter!" β
Ji Zimo and Xing Ling were stunned, and Ji Shanshan seemed to know the truth. What does it take for her to tell the truth?
People and ghosts have different paths, and it is difficult to communicate. When a person dies, he is at peace without complaining. If after death, hatred in the heart, it will become a resentful spirit, and now Ji Shanshan, not only hatred in her heart, but also people who she dares to hurt her parents, how can there be no resentment after death?
There is no more painful thing to say after death than the parents, whose souls are imprisoned in that secret room, not ghosts, not ghouls, just a wandering soul.
"Shanshan, no matter what, you tell me where Grandpa's bones are. You don't have to worry about the rest, as long as I have a breath, I have to work hard to dissolve the curse, which is a curse related to the three major families. β
Ji Shanshan smiled suspiciously, raised her hand and pointed, "Isn't it just at your feet?" If you want to break the curse, don't be too naΓ―ve and give away your life. β
When Ji Zimo nodded, he suddenly thought of the dagger in his hand, and when he opened his mouth to ask Ji Shanshan about the origin of the dagger, she was gone.
