Chapter 17: The Flower Girl's Corpse
When I saw that face, I instantly felt my scalp tingle, and even my hands and feet felt extremely stiff, but I had no choice but to step forward and shout respectfully. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Uncle Ghost!"
The person who came was leaning on his back, looking at me with white and black eyes, and then glanced at the fat man, without a trace of expression on his face, if it were not for the slight rise and fall of his chest and abdomen, the whole person would look like a corpse.
Being looked at by this kind of gaze, I feel that my whole body is being seen through and I feel uncomfortable.
Zhang Fatzi was frightened by Uncle Ghost's eyes, so he quickly hid behind me and whispered, "Lin Zi, there is still someone here?" Who is this, so scary? ”
I glanced at the scary Uncle Ghost and whispered, "I don't know, Uncle Ghost has lived here for as long as I can remember, and I heard that my grandfather was kind to him in the early years, and he has been helping my family guard the ancestral hall." ”
"Can I go? It's too oozing to watch. Zhang Fat Man twitched the corner of my clothes and whispered, looking at Uncle Ghost's lifeless expression, the whole person was clever, and he couldn't help but let out a chill.
"Uncle Ghost, I want to borrow the flower boy corpse!"
I arched my hand at Uncle Ghost and asked. Uncle Ghost is the steward here, even if everything here belongs to my family, but if you want to take it out, you still have to ask Uncle Ghost.
It's the rule.
Uncle Ghost's eyes lit up inexplicably, as if two green lights suddenly flashed in the darkness, which was really scary. Uncle Ghost's body moved, and as soon as he stretched out his hand, a bronze copper bell and a live toad with a big black palm appeared in front of us.
The copper bells and live toads that appeared in an instant seemed to have been prepared for a long time, and I had long been accustomed to them, but the fat man behind me took a deep breath, and his eyes widened by half an inch.
"Masters!"
I quickly took it, and then arched my hand again to express my gratitude.
Uncle Ghost nodded expressionlessly, glanced at me, and then at Zhang Fatzi, and spit out a word in his hoarse throat like a knife.
"Caution!"
I was stunned for a moment, then nodded solemnly.
Uncle Ghost never speaks, but when he speaks, he must have a deep meaning.
Cautious? Is it for me to be cautious?
Looking at Uncle Ghost's expressionless turn and his back disappearing in the white silk and white veil, I wondered.
Zhang Fatzi was inexplicable when he watched it on the side, but it did not prevent him from being afraid of Uncle Ghost.
I checked the copper bell and live toad in my hand, excitement appeared on my face, looking at Zhang Fatzi still with a scared expression, and said with a smile: "Uncle Ghost is actually not bad, you don't have to be afraid, it's just that he looks a little ugly, I heard that when he took revenge in the early years, he was forced out by the enemy." ”
"Go, follow me, let's get down to business!"
After saying that, I took a stack of paper money, a bunch of incense, and a copper bell and a live toad in my hand on the offering table next to me, grabbed everything in my hand, pulled the sleeve of the fat man's coat, and motioned for him to follow me.
The place we went to was the northeast corner of the main church.
It was a very dark place, there was no light, and in front of me, a black object was shrouded in white silk hanging from the beam, and inside the white silk, something was faintly shaking.
Zhang Fat Man looked at it curiously, and was about to ask, I suddenly opened the white silk, and in an instant, Zhang Fat Man's eyes shrank to the size of a needle tip, and his long mouth pointed ahead: "This...... This ......"
In front of the coffin, there is a three-legged incense burner, on which a bunch of yellow incense is emitting wisps of green smoke, and on both sides of it are two flickering and faint light candles.
Compared with ordinary coffins, this coffin is not big, but it is smaller. The black coffin didn't have a lid on it, but it was hard to see what was inside. And the surface of the whole coffin glowed with a faint light.
"Linzi, here is ......"
Zhang Fatzi looked at the swarthy coffin, and was almost speechless in surprise, who has nothing to do with the coffin in the ancestral hall? After a while, he asked in surprise.
"Corpses!"
I replied lightly and didn't pay attention to him, and Zhang Fatzi didn't ask more.
I walked over, lit three sticks of incense on the candle, and after worshipping, inserted them into the incense burner, took out a stack of paper money, and sprinkled it around the coffin.
"Lin Zi, what the hell are you doing?"
Fat Zhang stood behind me, silent, looking at me nervously. endured it for a long time, and in the end, I couldn't hold back in the end.
Seeing that he couldn't bear it, he couldn't help but explain: "We have a rule in the business of raising corpses, before you want to remove a corpse, you must ask for instructions, greet it, explain to it, and ask it for help." This is the bare minimum rule. ”
"Request"
Zhang Fatzi was surprised, no need to look, I also know that his face was full of disbelief, by the candlelight, I saw him pouting, only to see him whisper: "Everyone is dead, what do you know, please instruct?" What do you ask? Isn't it all over if you just use it? ”
Obviously, for such a move as mine, in his eyes, it is really redundant.
Whether he could see it or not, I gave him a blank look, and I really didn't have time to pay attention to him, so I didn't squeak and continued with the work that I hadn't done before.
After scattering the paper money, I draw a circle on the ground, fold the paper money in a semicircle, light it, and burn the paper money between the circles.
When the paper money was burning, I pulled out a knife and drew a line on the stomach of the black live toad. The toad's warm blood flowed out instantly, and I held my breath, quickly dipped my right hand on the toad's stomach, and skillfully drew a charm on the coffin head.
After the charm was drawn, I took a deep breath, my face became solemn, and I walked to the edge of the coffin, my blood-stained index finger reaching into the coffin.
A bloodless corpse was lying inside, about eleven or twelve years old, a boy, dressed in bright red and green, with bright red on his lips and a layer of pink foundation on his cheeks.
If you don't look closely, it's like a paper figure.
The fat man on the side glanced at it, although he was a little scared, but he was not afraid, and even pouted and looked at me with disdain.
"You guys have a lot of taste!"
I looked at him angrily and didn't bother to pay attention to him.
I applied my blood-stained fingers to the corpse's lips, feeling the coldness and stiffness of the corpse, and I stiffened slightly.
In addition to the lips, I drew a symbol on the center of the corpse's eyebrows, the back of the hand, and the ankle. Although the symbol is simple, it pays attention to the beginning and the end, and there is no room for sloppiness, after doing all this, I am already sweating, but at this time, I am slightly relieved. After all, most of the things have been dealt with more or less the same.
I took out the copper bell and wiped it on the mouth of the copper bell with toad blood, and suddenly, I grabbed the copper bell, buckled it vigorously on the coffin, and with a random wave of my arm, the bell made a crisp sound in mid-air.
"Okay!"
As the voice sounded, my face became a little solemn. As soon as he turned his feet, he walked around the coffin. The brass bell in my hand vibrated regularly according to a certain rhythm, and I kept chanting some incantations from small to large in my mouth.
After five or six laps, the movements of my feet became faster and faster, and the spells on my mouth became faster and faster.
The fat man on the side watched it with relish, and at the end, he shook his head and said a word.
"Your pretending to be forced is very much like my style back then......"
I didn't bother to pay attention to him, and by the time I had completed the ninth lap, the incantation on my lips had become low and eerie.
Suddenly......
There was a sudden gust of wind in the main hall, and the white silk brush on the side was hung up, and in the crisp sound of the copper bell, there was a whining sound, like a ghost crying.
Zhang Fatzi shivered inexplicably, and glanced into the coffin, the corpse suddenly opened its eyes and stared at Fatman Zhang in a daze.
“****……”
Zhang Fatzi took a few steps back, I watched Zhang Fatzi be scared like that on the side, smiled slightly, and then his face suddenly froze, shaking the bell with one hand, and suddenly pinching out a magic seal with the other hand, and cocking his fingers upward.
The corpse lying in the coffin sat up suddenly, and when I cocked it again, the corpse jumped out directly and stood in front of the fat man.
"Mom......"
Zhang Fatzi sat on the ground, looking at the corpse in a daze, and the child's gray eyes also looked at Zhang Fatzi in a daze.
It was pitch black all around, the sound of the wind had disappeared at some point, and there was only rough panting in the silent air.
