Chapter 25: Hooking the Soul (text)

Now it can only be like this, we split into two roads, I followed Xiaoxiao all the way forward, she didn't seem to stop, and went directly out of the village to the mountains and forests next to the village.

Although I was in a hurry, I was also extremely careful, and I walked very carefully, for fear of waking her up.

After walking into the mountains and forests for about half an hour, Xiaoxiao stopped, and circled on a flat ground, I saw her spinning in circles so non-stop, thinking what to do if she was tired, if Meng Changqing didn't come, I could only figure out my own way.

Xiaoxiao fell after turning around in place three times, I thought she would wake up, and I was busy trying to run over and cover her eyes, as long as I couldn't see, I wouldn't be afraid.

But she didn't wake up at all, and when she got up, she continued to circle there, and when she got around the ninth lap, she stopped moving, and never stepped on her steps.

She was there for about two or three minutes, and Xiaoxiao leaned back and fell straight down.

When I was about to step forward, I felt someone patting me on the shoulder from behind, and at the same time, someone shouted: "Ye Hai! ”

The second grandmother said in the past that if a stranger calls you, you must not agree, and in this wilderness, I naturally will not agree. If you suffer a lot of losses, you will be wise.

After that, the thing behind me called me a few more times, but I didn't answer, I was afraid that he would take other measures if he was tired of screaming for a while, so while he was still calm, I quietly pinched it according to my memory in the way Meng Changqing usually pinched his handprints.

I thought it would be an easy thing to do, and I used to practice this trick after writing it down, but the feeling of reciting the mantra in front of the feminine object was completely different.

It felt like my head was going to tear apart, and something behind me screamed as I squeezed my hands.

I heard the screams behind me, and thought that there was a play, so I didn't care about my headache for the time being, but recited the incantation that Meng Changqing recited on weekdays.

I secretly wrote down these things when I watched him do them, and I usually practiced countless times while he was away, so I am naturally familiar with them.

It's just that the situation is urgent at this point, and I can't remember the spell until I recite it halfway.

I can't recite a mantra, I just care about pinching my hand, over and over again, this hand duel Meng Changqing used to call it a well decision, which represents the demon well, which means subduing demons.

Looking back at what was behind me, it was an old man of about sixty years old, whose face began to turn hideous as I squeezed my hands, and his eyes were full of resentment when he looked at me.

In the past, Meng Changqing pinched this hand, and every time he only pinched it once, those ghosts would disappear, but I pinched it several times, and this old ghost was just struggling in pain in front of me, without any other changes.

The more I pinched, the more tired I became, and finally I had a nosebleed, just when I was about to lose it, the old man appeared with Meng Changqing like a life-saving straw, Meng Changqing saw that I was entangled with this old ghost, and stepped forward and slapped the old ghost away.

Seeing that I was covered in nosebleeds, he frowned, and suddenly clamped me under the squeaky nest, and then walked to Xiaoxiao, and when he arrived at Xiaoxiao's side, he lifted Xiaoxiao up and put it on his back and sighed: "Sooner or later, you two will die of exhaustion in this village." ”

Although he complained in his mouth, he didn't stop half a step under his feet, trotted all the way back to his grandfather's house, and after bringing it home, I leaned on the chair to stop the nosebleed, and he hurriedly ran to the place where the copper bell was hidden and took out the paper in Xiaoxiao's copper bell, and burned the paper directly to ashes when he went to Xiaoxiao's side, and stumbled over the tea to let Xiaoxiao drink it.

Grandpa came out and asked us what was wrong after hearing the movement outside, Meng Changqing said that I was overexerting, and Xiaoxiao was hooked by someone.

I was shocked when I heard this, fortunately, Meng Changqing had the foresight and held Xiaoxiao's head before, and I also understood why Xiaoxiao didn't leave after walking nine laps in the woods just now.

Grandpa was also shocked when he heard this, but Meng Changqing looked at me with a frown and said, "Didn't I explain to you who asked you to pay attention to who communicates with her?" How could something happen? Trouble comes from the mouth, and it must be that you have said something that you should not have said to someone who should not have spoken. ”

I thought to myself that there weren't many people talking to us today, and there was nothing strange about the others, only Uncle Zhang said a few words to Xiaoxiao.

I told Uncle Zhang what he had said to Xiaoxiao, Meng Changqing listened to it and pondered, and his grandfather was furious and scolded him again.

Last time, because of the ashes and the death of his grandmother, Grandpa has always treated Uncle Zhang as an enemy, and the villagers have always been wary of them meeting, for fear that they will fight.

Now that I've heard from me, Grandpa went straight into the house and got a hoe and asked me to lead the way, and he went to find justice for us.

Meng Changqing stopped his grandfather and said, "Wearing a coat and a hat in broad daylight, it is obviously blocking the yang energy. He called out to the little girl for no reason when he left, it must be the cause of the little girl's sleepwalking at night, according to my opinion, he is dead, you are meeting a ghost! ”

I listened to it and thought to myself that it was impossible to put it, I saw that he was fine some time ago, and now I suddenly say that he is dead, which is a bit unacceptable.

It's not appropriate to go out at night now, and Meng Changqing also wants to take care of Xiaoxiao here.

Meng Changqing tried to call Xiaoxiao's soul back, but he didn't do it, he thought for a while, and came to the conclusion that Xiaoxiao's soul had entered someone else's body and became an independent individual, and he could only find that individual and take the soul back.

When Meng Changqing was speculating about where the individual was, the villagers rushed up, and the old man had already told them about our accident just now, and as fellow villagers, they naturally wanted to come and see it.

After they came, they asked questions, but Meng Changqing did not answer them one by one this time, but only answered a few questions when he was free.

Seeing that Meng Changqing had no intention of answering their questions, the villagers didn't ask more, just watched quietly from the sidelines.

Meng Changqing speculated for a while without coming up with a result, and I said on the side: "Xiaoxiao circled around a place nine times when she was in the woods just now, could it be where it is?" ”

When Meng Changqing heard this, he hurriedly took out a hoe from the house and rushed to the woods, and the villagers joined in the fun.

Grandpa watched Xiaoxiao at home, I didn't worry about that over there, and after they left, I slowly paced over there.

By the time I passed, the place where Xiaoxiao had turned around had been dug up, and inside was a well-preserved flower oil cloth, and the oil cloth was wrapped in something.

The villagers tore the tarpaulin open, and when they saw what was inside, they all retreated in fright.

The oilcloth was wrapped in Uncle Zhang's corpse, his body had been soaked in the dampness of the ground, although it looked disgusting, but there was no smell, it should have been buried here not long ago.

When the villagers saw that the body was Uncle Zhang, they were also surprised how he died, and some people saw him yesterday morning.

Although he has not seen any visitors these days, he is extremely healthy, and it is impossible for him to die so suddenly, and if he dies normally, he is alone, who buried him here?

The villagers all said that there were unclean things in the village, and some people said that since I came back, first the ashes, then my grandmother died, then Hu Haiyan, then the infant spirit, and now there are dead people.

Although they couldn't target me when they said this, they realized something and looked at me differently.

I was also a little confused, thinking that it was really because I came back that this would happen?

Meng Changqing didn't care so much for the time being, and after digging out Uncle Zhang's body, he directly began to chant the mantra, and after chanting, he slammed the copper bell on his head, and then asked people to help, and they got the corpse back to the village together.

After going back, Meng Changqing didn't rest for half a second and ran back to his grandfather's house directly, shaking the copper bell in front of Xiaoxiao, and the corners of Xiaoxiao's mouth squirmed after half a moment, and he was relieved to see it, and asked me to help Xiaoxiao into the side room to rest.

When I came out, Meng Changqing had already left, and my grandfather was smoking in the hall, and I asked my grandfather where the master had gone, and he said that he had gone to see Zhang Shike's body.

I asked my grandfather again why he didn't go, and he took a deep puff of his cigarette, then spit it out and said, "Even if Zhang Shike is bruised and scattered, I won't look at him." ”

Grandpa hates Uncle Zhang now, he stubbornly thinks that if Uncle Zhang and Hu Haiyan mess around, grandma will not die, in his eyes, he has regarded Uncle Zhang as an enemy.

I didn't persuade my grandfather to go, so I rushed to the bottom of the village by myself.

Meng Changqing has been here for so long, he hasn't slept well, and if he continues like this, I'm really worried that the sentence he said, 'I'll be exhausted by the two of you sooner or later', will become 'tell the truth'."

The villagers below the village were still surrounding Uncle Zhang, and Meng Changqing was in the center to check the body.

I saw that Meng Changqing's clothes were already soaked with sweat, and I was inexplicably a little distressed, but he was my master, not a servant I invited.

Meng Changqing didn't notice that I was coming, he watched the corpse by himself, what he did was for me, after arriving in this village, as long as there was a little strange thing in the village, he would be highly nervous and pay attention to it.

Sometimes I wonder why he cares so much about my business when I just met him?

This kind of question naturally has to be asked to him to know the result, and he can't think of it.

Meng Changqing looked at it for a while, then straightened up and asked the villagers if there were any clergy in the vicinity except for my second grandmother and Li Dahai.

The villagers' answer was no, they said that there used to be one on the side of the old dragon cave, but now it is gone.

Meng Changqing listened and said: "Zhang Shike's corpse is ready to be raised, ordinary people don't know this method, only people who know Taoism can." ”

Speaking of Taoism, I think of the things that my grandfather did in front of Xiaoxiao's father's grave that day, and he also knows Taoism.

Now that I hear Meng Changqing asking this, I wonder whether I should tell him about it. In the end, when I saw so many villagers here, I could only give up first, thinking that I would wait for less people to tell him.

The villagers listened to Meng Changqing's words and looked a little panicked, they were all honest farmers, where had they experienced these things before, and they had never even heard of them.

"Could it be Li Dahai?" Some villagers talked about that Duangong.

Meng Changqing went to find that Duan Gong last time, and when he heard someone say this, he shook his head and said: "Last time I went to him to ask about the ashes, I found that he was also hooked by someone and became demented, and now he shouldn't have recovered, it won't be him." ”

I was stunned, I also had a note that my grandfather threw into the coffin, on which Li Dahai's birthday was written, plus the things that my grandfather read, so that I was basically sure of one thing, that is, Li Dahai's soul was hooked by my grandfather.
