Chapter 55: Refining the corpse and refining
The next day, the two of them got up full of energy, and of course they were inevitably arranged for a luxurious breakfast.
After eating and drinking, the two said goodbye to Zhang Qiufu, and at the same time asked him to quickly transport Wang Xiaoli's corpse back to Phoenix, so that he could start preparing for the refining of the corpse.
Zhang Qiufu originally planned to keep the two of them to play for a few days, but thinking of the matter of refining the corpse sooner rather than later, he immediately agreed on a date with Xie Xiaolou, and asked Ah Feng to send the two to the bus station.
Originally, Zhang Qiufu wanted to send a car to send them back to Phoenix, but Xie Xiaolou didn't want to be too troublesome so he politely refused Zhang Qiufu's kindness, and it seemed easy for the two of them to buy tickets and take the car by themselves.
Changsha to Fenghuang has been opened to the highway, although it will take five or six hours, but it is much more convenient than before.
It was already more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon when the bus arrived at the station, and Long Yan planned to go back to the police station first, so Xie Xiaolou went straight home.
Xie Xiaoyu was spreading out on the sofa watching the bubble drama, and was not surprised to see Xie Xiaolou open the door and enter the house, and asked without turning his head: "Come back, have you had fun, do you have any gifts?" ”
Xie Xiaolou put down his bag and put incense on the pillar in front of his parents' spiritual seat, and when he heard Xie Xiaoyu ask, he replied in a daze: "Your identity is a little embarrassing, I originally wanted to buy you some teddy bears or something, thinking that you are seventy or eighty years old, I don't think you will like it, so I didn't buy it." ”
Xie Xiaoyu pouted: "Who said I don't like it, even if I die before I die, I'm still a girl like a flower." ”
Xie Xiaolou laughed and took out a mermaid's puppet toy from his bag.
"It's a game to win, like?"
Xie Xiaoyu snatched it up and couldn't put it down.
Xie Xiaolou shook his head, he really couldn't figure out whether the creature in front of him was regarded as a grandmother or a little sister.
"Okay, I've got something to discuss with you......"
Xie Xiaolou told her about refining the corpse for Zhang Qiufu, Xie Xiaoyu listened while playing with toys, and when Xie Xiaolou finished speaking, Xie Xiaoyu's expression changed from a girl to a weathered elder.
"Are you sure?"
"Of course there is, and even if there is an accident, isn't there still you."
"Do the heirs of the corpse scripture have to rely on others for everything?" Xie Xiaoyu said with a straight face, as if this was a serious matter.
This tone made Xie Xiaolou a little unhappy, and a little weak-hearted, as if he was being lectured by his elders.
Xie Xiaoyu continued: "However, this request for wealth has made a good start for you. ”
"What do you mean?" Xie Xiaolou forcibly suppressed the emotions just now and asked puzzledly.
"There is no need to drive corpses in this society now, but there is a market for corpse refining." Xie Xiaoyu said a little frowning: "What's more, you are still a descendant of the Corpse Sutra, this is simply fate." ”
Xie Xiaolou originally had this idea, but he was afraid that Xie Xiaoyu would disagree, but now when he heard Xie Xiaoyu say this, he had no worries at all: "You also agree with me doing this?" ”
Xie Xiaoyu nodded: "How to say, I think it can be regarded as inheriting the family business of chasing corpses, so that your Xie family's ancestors can be comforted in the spirit of the sky, but the way has changed a little." ”
"However," Xie Xiaoyu took a turn, "After all, refining corpses is a matter of reversing yin and yang, and you can't make a big show, in case it causes trouble, it's not good." ”
Xie Xiaolou also agreed, thinking about Xue Baihe's desire for the three volumes of Xiangxi Evil before, as well as the Taoist priest who wanted to subdue demons and eliminate demons without knowing him, it was a big trouble.
"So we set up some rules, such as ......" Xie Xiaoyu pondered, "People who can't practice suicide, generally this kind of person dies with resentment or grievances, and the resentment is too great before death, and it is easy to turn into evil qi after death, and it is easy to produce abnormalities when refining." ”
Xie Xiaolou couldn't stop nodding, thinking that his grandmother's generation was really thoughtful, unlike himself, who only knew that he was thinking about the 500,000.
Half a million? That's right.
"The price of refining corpses is 500,000 yuan as the reserve price, and the high threshold is not only convenient for us to screen, but also makes others feel that we have real materials."
"Well, this is also more reasonable," Xie Xiaoyu also agreed to the starting price, "I think there is another point, before refining the corpse, it is better to summon his soul and ask to see if it is the same situation as the client said, so as not to have some ulterior motives." ”
Xie Xiaolou nodded silently, and suddenly frowned: "What if the soul of that dead man has been reincarnated?" ”
"Then let's make another rule, the client and the person being refined must be immediate family members, so that we can easily verify."
Immediate family members include direct blood relatives and direct in-laws, Wang Xiaoli and Zhang Qiufu have become husband and wife, so it is not a bad rule.
Xie Xiaolou only has high Chinese, of course, he doesn't understand these, they are all searched on the Internet, just be able to figure it out.
"Okay, Mr. Refining Corpse does not refine three times: those who commit suicide do not refined, bids less than 500,000 do not refined, and those who are not immediate family members do not refined." Xie Xiaolou finally summed up triumphantly.
Seeing Xie Xiaolou's rejuvenated appearance, Xie Xiaoyu was secretly happy, but he didn't know why he was a little uneasy.
In the next few days, Xie Xiaolou's brothers and sisters found the cave where their father was refining his corpse, and Peng Li's blinding method Xie Xiaolou also painted a scoop according to the gourd, and covered up the cave with a spell.
At the same time, Xie Xiaolou and Long Yan also looked around for shops, preparing to escape the corpse-themed escape room, and finally rented a store not far from the entrance of the ancient city, which was originally intended to be transformed into a supermarket.
The two of them found an escape room company to help design it, and made appropriate modifications on the basis of the original horror theme, and changed it to a main plot based on chasing corpses, incorporating the legend of witchcraft in Xiangxi, and even the people who designed it felt that they would definitely be able to become popular in the county.
Seeing that the store was beginning to take shape, Xie Xiaolou was excited and remembered that there was not much left of the 500,000 yuan, and he was inevitably a little disappointed.
On this day, Xie Xiaolou received a call from Ah Feng, saying that Wang Xiaoli's body had been transported to Phoenix, and Xie Xiaolou met him and saw him driving a small refrigerated truck, ready to invite him to dinner.
"I won't eat anymore, hurry up and finish the business, I'll explain to Mr. Zhang." Although Ah Feng was a little tired, he was still full of anger when he spoke.
"Refining corpses is not a matter of one or two days, besides, where we are going, we can only go at night." Xie Xiaolou persuaded.
Ah Feng hesitated, but still obeyed Xie Xiaolou's arrangement.
When eating, Ah Feng didn't talk much, maybe he was hungry, he just cared about eating, Xie Xiaolou knocked on the side to know that Ah Feng was an outcast, he was adopted by Zhang Qiufu and his wife since he was a child, and he was sent to be a soldier, and he has been following Zhang Qiufu to do things since he came back, no wonder Xie Xiaolou felt that his temperament was unusual when they met for the first time, and he actually did special forces.
Since he has lived with Zhang Qiufu and his wife since he was a child, he and Wang Xiaoli are like mother and son, so they also attach great importance to the matter of refining corpses.
At night, the two drove the car to Peach Blossom Island, took out the vacuum bag wrapped in Wang Xiaoli's body from the refrigerated truck, and carried it to the cave where the corpse was refining when it was dark and no one was there.
"Okay, you go back first, I'll call Brother Zhang when the body is raised."
Although Ah Feng was a little uneasy, but in front of him was Zhang Qiufujing as a guest, what else could he say, he immediately turned around, walked quickly towards the road he came, and disappeared into the night after a while.
