When the woman said this, she looked resolute and resolute, but her voice betrayed her, and I heard a slight choking in her voice.

Xue Qian had already slowly put down the big knife, and he said, "In this way, these candles you set up today are not to deal with the two of us, but to deal with the evil ghosts in the crematorium?" ”

The woman nodded, "We are indeed here to deal with him. If you kill him obediently, then nothing will happen, and my mother and I will quietly leave here. If you fail, he will definitely find the piece of paper on your body, and the birth date on it. According to his temperament, he will definitely chase after him all the way. ”

"The candles here are specially treated, with my mother's eight characters written and gossip drawn, and they are actually giving him a way. Moreover, these candles are in a dark formation, and the ghost walking in it will gradually be confused, and then mistake the paper figure at the door for a real person. ”

I touched the wound on my shoulder and said stupidly, "Yes, it's a very powerful candle array, and I'm also confused." ”

The woman pointed to the wooden sword that I had just pulled off my shoulder, and said, "This is made of peach wood, and it is not lethal to people, but it is deadly to ghosts." We made a trap and hid this sword inside. If the ghost comes, if I touch the mechanism, I will be seriously injured even if I don't die, and then I will wait in the house, and when I hear the movement, I will rush out to make sure that nothing goes wrong. ”

Xue Qian completely put down the big knife, and he muttered, "It seems that you treat the two of us as ghosts?" ”

The woman nodded: "We did admit our mistake. Then she pointed to Mrs. Chai: "Since this evening, my mother has put on a shroud and hid in the coffin with her breath closed." In this case, the ghost will not be able to sense her location, and will believe that the paper figure at the door is the real person. ”

In this way, everything is explained. Xue Qian and I sat on the sofa, you look at me, I look at you, although I escaped death, but I didn't feel relaxed.

I said to Mrs. Chai, who was sitting on the sofa with her eyes closed, "Old lady, do you say, will I be like your husband in the future?" ”

Mrs. Chai slowly opened her eyes and said, "I don't know. He never told anyone about it. In short, you should be careful. "The delicate of rebirth

I sighed and said with some remorse: "I wouldn't have killed him if I had known, and it would be good to keep a living mouth and ask about the situation." ”

When Mrs. Chai heard this, she showed a mocking smile, she looked at me and said, "Young man, it's not that I don't believe you. Even if you can kill my husband, that process must be extremely difficult, right? You simply don't have the power to decide whether to keep your mouth alive or to extinguish it. What's more, even if you can catch him, you won't ask anything out of his mouth at all. So, you don't have to regret it either. ”

She stood up, trembling and walked up to me, patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Everyone has their own destiny, just do your best." ”

When she had finished speaking, she slowly opened the door. On the steps of the doorway, there was the human skin lantern. She picked up the lantern, looked at it with a frown, and turned back to me and asked, "Didn't you find all of Chaiji's soul?" ”

I pointed to the box that had fallen next to it: "The rest of the part is inside the box." ”

Mrs. Chai rummaged through the paper figures in the box, and while looking for them, she said, "Poor, pitiful." So many poor people were detained by my husband and locked up in this little paper figure. ”

After a while, she found Chaiji's paper figure and carefully carried it into the room.

The woman asked, "Mom, what about the rest of the paper people?" ”

Mrs. Chai said in a casual tone: "After the chicken crows, burn it in the brazier." ”

The woman was stunned for a moment, and her voice was a little strange: "Are they all burned?" ”

The old lady said categorically: "Burn them all." ”

I listened to the conversation between the two of them and seemed to be a little off, and I couldn't help but ask, "What happens when it's burned?" ”

The woman looked at Mrs. Chai, and Mrs. Chai said lightly: "What will happen?" The soul is scattered. "The only pet in the prosperous world, the demon concubine plays the evil king

I couldn't help but be surprised: "Scattered? What did these people do wrong? Do you want to let them wander? The punishment is too severe. ”

Old Madam Chai looked at me, as if she was looking at an imbecile, and she sneered: "Young man, you are too young. Do you know if there are any evil spirits in these paper figures? If you let them out, will they hurt people? ”

I anxiously retorted, "There must be innocent people in here......"

Old lady Chai said: "Innocent people? Would an innocent person take that medicine and get out of the soul? They are guilty of at least lust. What's more, these lonely ghosts are locked up in paper figures, and they must have a lot of resentment in their hearts. This kind of resentment is enough to make them evil ghosts. You think they have a poor background, and it would be good to cry secretly for a while, but if you let the evil spirits out and harm the living, it will be a bit too much to say. You are a woman's kindness. ”

I was robbed by Mrs. Chai, and I couldn't say a word.

The old lady asked the woman to pour a bowl of water, and then used a thin needle to prick a little blood from Chai Ji's body.

Chai Ji has been lying in bed for a few days, his heart is beating extremely slowly, and the blood in his body is flowing very slowly. The two of them squeezed for a while, and finally squeezed out a few drops of dark red blood, barely staining the bowl of water red.

Then, the old lady of Chai soaked the paper figure of Chai Ji in the bowl. The paper figure slowly softened, and the bowl of water steamed out a puff of white gas. After a few minutes, the paper figure was gone, and only a small half of the bowl of water remained, and it became extremely cloudy.

The old lady took the human skin lantern and reached out to tear the lampshade open. Reveal the skeleton and wick inside.

I glanced at the lantern and immediately shuddered. The lantern had long since been extinguished, but above the wick, there was a very thin snake. The snake crawled very fast, and swam quickly on the wick.

I've been afraid of snakes since I was a child, and when I looked at them, I got goosebumps. I shuddered for a moment and hurriedly turned away. Last night, I actually carried such a lantern and walked for most of the night, and I felt terrible to think about it.

I heard the old lady muttering something about the snake, presumably something related to the snake, and I couldn't help but take another look, and saw that she was catching the snake's head and feeding the bowl of turbid soup to the little snake. The wife who marries on behalf of the husband is tamed

When she saw me looking this way, she smiled at me and said, "This snake is a treasure." Chai Ji's soul can be found, and it is all relied on. ”

I grinned, not making a sound.

After the snake was full, the old lady Chai caught it and put it on Chai Ji's body. The little snake was very clever and crawled on Chai Ji's body.

I thought to myself: If it were me in bed, I would rather not live than have someone save me like this.

The little snake crawled for a while, and then bit down on Chaiji's throat. I stared dumbfounded.

After a while, Chai Ji's body actually rose and fell slightly. The snake slowly let go of its mouth, and it rolled and fell from Chaiji's body to the ground. And just like that, he died.

Mrs. Chai patted Chai Ji's face and asked, "How is it, are you awake?" ”

Chai Ji slowly opened his eyes, and when he saw the old lady, he looked a little excited. He tried to sit up, but he couldn't move.

Mrs. Chai waved her hand and said, "You don't have to move. These days of fake death, the qi and blood are clogged, let's raise it first. ”

Chai Ji blinked vigorously, his expression full of gratitude.

After finishing this qiē, the old lady Chai seemed to be very tired, she casually opened the cabinet behind her and took out two stacks of money. put it on the table and said, "Don't be too little, one stack per person." It's my reward. Then she said rather melancholy: "In the past few decades, there has been only no entry and exit in the house, and I could have given you more." ”

Xue Qian and I hurriedly waved our hands: "Enough, enough." Then the two of us honestly and unceremoniously put together the money.

Mrs. Chai said, "It's almost dawn, I'll sleep, pack up, and leave here." Go home, both of you. ”
