CHAPTER XXX0 GOLD AND SILVER ON THE NIGHT OF THE 12TH
For your next reading, please remember or bookmark the URL of this site: I saw Xue Qian and Xiaozhou actually tied to a chair, and I couldn't help but be surprised. I was going to run away, but I found that Ah Fei didn't seem to have any intention of tying me up, so I slowly felt a little relieved.
I tried to lighten the mood, smiled and said to Ah Fei, "What are you playing here?" ”
Ah Fei gave me a strange look, and then whispered, "Don't worry, I won't harm them." ”
Then he took out a white cloth and slowly tied Chen Xiaomei's body to the chair.
I stared at him dumbfounded, not thinking about what to do for a moment.
It was Ah Fei who said lightly: "Master Zhao, this is all ordered by my mother personally, you don't have to be afraid." ”
My throat was a little dry, I coughed softly, and then asked in a low voice, "Didn't you already bury your mother?" ”
Ah Fei shook his head and stared at Chen Xiaomei's corpse with a stern expression: "I just buried an empty coffin, otherwise, my family will come and go, and I can't concentrate on doing this." ”
I asked, "What are you going to do?" ”
Ah Fei looked at me, and then said, "Lord Ghost, didn't I ask you for thirty treasury of gold and silver?" ”
I nodded, "yes, what's wrong?" ”
Ah Fei vigorously tied the strip of cloth into a dead knot. He looked at Chen Xiaomei, who had been tied up, and said, "My mother has already sued me, what does that gold and silver mean." ”
Then, without waiting for me to ask. He brought a brazier from behind him. This brazier is placed among us. There were four of us, a corpse, a paper figure. So around the brazier, no one spoke.
Ah Fei bent down and burned paper in the brazier. While burning, he said lightly: "These two people are not bold enough, I tied them up because I was worried that something bad would happen to them." As for you, Master Zhao, your courage may not be as great as mine, but I know that you will definitely be able to withstand it at a critical moment. ”
I thought to myself: I am indeed not as bold as you, Lao Tzu did not dare to go to the mass grave to steal the snuffbox of the dead when he was in junior high school.
Xue Qian said with some annoyance: "Since you know that I am cowardly, why do you still deceive me?" ”
Ah Fei didn't raise his head, he continued to burn paper. Wait until the paper money in your hand is burned out. He slowly raised his head. Slightly tired, he said, "Because I really can't find the rest of them." No one believes in me but you. ”
Xiaozhou was a little overly excited: "Ah Fei, I am willing to help you, I am your friend." ”
Ah Fei sneered: "Are you embarrassed to say this?" ”
He stopped the boat and put his hands into the brazier. The yellow paper had burned out, leaving only a pile of black paper ash. Ah Fei picked up a handful of paper ashes with sparks on it and smeared it on Chen Xiaomei's corpse.
His action stunned us, and for a while the room was silent, and no one dared to speak.
The candlelight was already faint, and Ah Fei smeared it on Chen Xiaomei's body at once. This house is even more eerie and terrifying than my empty house.
After a few minutes, the brazier had bottomed out. And Chen Xiaomei's body was smeared with black dust everywhere.
Ah Fei seemed to be tired, and collapsed on the chair from exhaustion. He took two breaths and said slowly: "After a while, no matter what happens, everyone should not move or speak." As long as you do both, I can guarantee you all right. ”
After saying this, Ah Fei closed his mouth tightly.
I wanted to ask him what the hell was going on. But as soon as he opened his mouth, he remembered his instructions, so he had to swallow the words into his stomach.
The candles on the table burned little by little, getting shorter and shorter, and the candle tears slowly flowed down, accumulating more and more. I looked at the light, and I don't know how long it was, when I suddenly heard a soft sound.
I was already in the mood for the noise, and immediately turned back to find the source of the sound.
As soon as I turned my head like this, I found that Chen Xiaomei on the other side moved.
If it weren't for Ah Fei's instructions in my heart, I'm afraid I would have run away by now.
Chen Xiaomei's eyes were wide open at this time, and two black eyes occupied the entire eye socket. In this case, you don't know who she's looking at. Everyone felt that she was staring at herself.
Chen Xiaomei kept struggling in her chair. The strips of cloth that have been smeared are tightening tighter and tighter. I started to worry a little, what if Chen Xiaomei broke free of the strip of cloth?
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but secretly complain. I thought that Chen Xiaomei's matter was solved, so I didn't take my baby with me when I went out today.
As Chen Xiaomei struggled, Xue Qian and Xiaozhou also began to shake violently. It looked like the two of them were struggling to escape.
I said in my heart, Ah Fei really didn't misunderstand the two of you. At a critical juncture, it was really unreliable.
Xue Qian struggled twice, but did not break free, and when he looked up, he saw that I was looking at him. Opened his mouth wide and was going to talk to me.
I hurriedly gestured to him to silence him.
Xue Qian really didn't make a sound again, but he grew his mouth and kept gesturing to me. I guessed for a long time before I realized what he was talking about. He kept shouting silently: "Fake the corpse, cheat the corpse." ”
At this time, Chen Xiaomei was sitting opposite me, and if she broke free of the cloth, I would probably be the first to suffer. So I put one leg on the outside of the chair. If something happens, I'm sure I'll be the first to rush out.
Between life and death, who can take care of Ah Fei's trust that he doesn't want money.
Chen Xiaomei struggled for a while, and her strength gradually slowed down. Then, a faint white mist emanated from her body.
The white mist was cold and cold, and began to circle in the middle of the chair.
I suddenly understood Ah Fei's intentions. These white mist may have something to do with Chen Xiaomei's soul. And a few of us young men gathered in a circle, just trapping this soul in the middle.
It's just that Ah Fei trapped Chen Xiaomei's soul, what did he want to do?
While I was wondering, he pulled out a roll of yellow paper from behind him. He held the yellow paper in both hands and slowly walked through the white mist.
I don't know if it's my delusion, but I always feel that after the yellow paper is soaked in white mist, it begins to exude a faint luster.
Ah Fei put down the yellow paper. Then he took another roll of white paper. In the same way, I went through the white fog.
For the rest of the day, he kept repeating it.
The white mist circled around us twice before trying to break out. I could feel a dark wind blowing towards me. I don't want to speak at this time, I don't even dare to breathe through the atmosphere. I could feel the white mist pounding a few times, but it still couldn't help me. It reversed course and began to rush towards Xue Qian.
Xue Qian also remained motionless and stopped it.
At this time, Ah Fei had already gone through the yellow and white burning paper behind him in the white mist. He sat down in his chair and beckoned to us.
We began to follow his gestures, slowly closing the encirclement.
The white fog seemed to be threatened by something, and the territory was getting smaller and smaller. Soon, under Ah Fei's coercion, the white mist got into the paper man's body.
When the white mist got in, the paper figure was windless and automatic, and it shook slightly. Then I felt as if it had some kind of life, and I no longer dared to treat it as a dead thing.
Ah Fei took the brush from the table behind him. Crookedly, he fell on the head of the paper figure and drew a face. This face is crooked, and it is extremely ugly. But it's also strange to say that after the paper man has this face, he doesn't struggle anymore, and seems to have recognized this new body and doesn't plan to make trouble anymore.
Ah Fei breathed a long sigh of relief and said extremely tiredly, "Okay." ”
I was slumped back in my chair. Although I didn't move just now, my whole body was tense all the time, and I was already exhausted.
I gasped twice and asked Ah Fei, "What were you doing just now?" ”
Ah Fei pointed to the stack of burning paper behind him: "My mother asked me to make it." White paper is silver, and yellow paper is gold. ”
I suddenly realized, "It turns out that the thirty treasury of gold and silver that the ghost lord asked for is referring to this thing. ”
Ah Fei nodded, and then added: "Ordinary yellow paper is useless, it must be infiltrated with the soul that has just died before it can be turned into real gold and silver." ”
I looked at the paper figure next to the corpse and said in disbelief, "Your mother's soul, in the paper man?" ”
