Chapter 9 Xie Xiaoyu goes home
Wu Shuntong had no children and no daughters, and there were not many acquaintances around, the funeral was simple and sad, the black wolf himself funded the cremation of Wu Shuntong, and Xie Xiaolou made a simple ceremony and scattered his ashes into the upper reaches of the Tuojiang River.
There were only three people present, Xie Xiaolou and Black Wolf Bailing, Xie Xiaolou did not tell his mother about this, for fear that his mother would be too sad and aggravate her condition, so she had to hide it first.
After scattering the ashes, Xie Xiaolou looked at the river blankly, until it rained lightly in the sky, and then turned around and left under the urging of the black wolf.
Xie Xiaolou carried the spiritual position back to Wu Shuntong's hut, found a sunny place in the hall, settled the spiritual position, lit three incense sticks, and steadily inserted the incense burner in front of the spiritual tablet.
"Uncle Wu, I shouldn't have involved you so much that I lost my life." Xie Xiaolou didn't shed tears, maybe the tears were in his heart, and when he thought about it, Uncle Wu had worked hard all his life, had no children and no daughters, and had nothing to rely on when he was old, maybe he could live happily in another world.
Xie Xiaolou sighed softly.
It is impossible for Wu Shuntong's matter to be made public, so it is not a sacrifice in the line of duty, according to the rules, he will not receive a pension, so he can only take care of the aftermath for Wu Shuntong at his own expense.
"Xiao Lou, we are very sorry for the death of your Uncle Wu," the black wolf said apologetically, "but I hope you cheer up, now is the time not to be discouraged, let alone to be carried away by hatred, the initiator behind this case may be much more difficult to deal with than we imagined!" ”
Yes, Uncle Wu's death is unknown, if you can't find out the person behind the murderer, what face do you have to worship Uncle Wu?
Xie Xiaolou stabilized his mind and said indifferently: "I know, you go back to the police station first, and I will clean up the relics for Uncle Wu." ”
Seeing that Xie Xiaolou's mood had stabilized, the black wolf nodded and walked out of the door with Bai Ling.
When passing by Xie Xiaolou, Bai Ling glanced at him, his eyes full of pity.
Xie Xiaolou's heart warmed, and he smiled at her and said, "Don't worry." ”
Bai Ling nodded and went out to follow the black wolf.
After the two left, Xie Xiaolou bowed to the spiritual seat again and began to tidy up the room.
Xie Xiaolou arranged everything in an orderly manner, the bed and quilt were neatly laid, and just as he was tidying up the edge of the bed, he suddenly heard a snap and dropped something. He looked for prestige, and when he saw that it was a brown pamphlet, he picked it up curiously, and the cover of the pamphlet, perhaps because of the age, had been frizzy. Xie Xiaolou flipped the booklet over, and saw that there were a few brush words printed on the cover, and the pen and ink were so faint that it was almost impossible to see clearly, Xie Xiaolou squinted his eyes and carefully identified it for a long time before he recognized what was written on it:
Koraapo.
What does that mean? Xie Xiaolou couldn't understand it, so he opened the booklet in confusion and wanted to see the contents inside, but found that it was also written with a brush and some unintelligible sentences: "Karachico, Abrasto, oh extinguish the sagas......" Although it was written in Chinese characters, it couldn't read a single sentence.
I couldn't understand anything on the first page, so Xie Xiaolou turned the page back, wanting to see if there was anything that could be read and understood, but as soon as he turned the first page, he found that behind this page, there were densely written pen words, and Xie Xiaolou could understand these pen words.
It turns out to be a book of spiritualism!
The brush characters are written in Tujia dialect, because the Tujia family has no words, so they are all transliterated in Chinese characters, and the pen characters are the translations of these Tujia languages, and the "Kola Apo" on the cover is the meaning of "conjuring spirits".
This is an extremely important book, but Wu Shuntong is pressed on the edge of the bed so casually, which shows that in today's era, these things that have been beaten as sideways are worthless.
However, in the hands of Xie Xiaolou, it is a priceless treasure!
If you practice spiritualism, you can summon Uncle Wu's soul and ask how he was killed that night.
Xie Xiaolou took a cursory look at the translation, he was armed with the art of alchemy of corpses, which was similar to the spiritualist technique, both of which originated from the Yin and Yang family, paying attention to the growth and decline of yin and yang, the transfer of the five elements, and the main purpose of communicating yin and yang. So it doesn't seem to be too much effort, and I basically understand a rough idea. But in order to really practice, you need to understand it in detail.
However, Xie Xiaolou found that it was stated in the booklet that Uncle Wu, a soul who was wrongfully killed, was very wronged, and would stay where he was and wait for someone to clear his grievances, unless black and white impermanence came to arrest him, otherwise he would not leave the place where he died. Therefore, this kind of unjust soul and easy to be summoned only needs to be combined with some simple magic circles and spells.
Seeing this, Xie Xiaolou was very excited, and hurriedly turned to the pages of the magic circles and spells he needed, and found that they were all very introductory matters, of course, compared to him, it was an entry-level level, and ordinary people might take at least a month to learn.
"Hey, black wolf, there is a clue...... Xie Xiaolou hurriedly reported the matter to the black wolf, and still made an appointment with the black wolf to meet Yu Zishi's hospital.
Xie Xiaolou tidied up Uncle Wu's house, released all the poultry in the yard, locked the door of the hut, and stared at the house for a long time before turning around and leaving.
Back at home, Xie Xiaolou boiled medicine and fed his mother as usual, and then ate with his mother, Xie Xiaolou didn't say a word about Uncle Wu's affairs, Xie Xiaolou seemed to have a premonition, and asked during the meal: "Is your Uncle Wu okay?" ”
Xie Xiaolou was shocked in his heart, but he remained silent: "Uncle Wu? Uncle Wu only came yesterday, how can you ask him if he is okay? ”
"Oh, yes, I only came yesterday," Xie Mu murmured, "but why do you keep dreaming of him today, maybe I haven't seen him for too long." ”
When Xie Xiaolou heard his mother say this, he remembered the picture of Wu Shuntong's tragic death, his nose was sore, and he held back the tears that were about to flow: "Mom, don't worry, I'll go see Uncle Wu again in the next two days." ”
Xie Mu nodded silently.
Before 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, Xie Xiaolou slipped into the morgue of the county hospital with a backpack on his back, and seeing that the black wolf and Bailing had not yet come, Xie Xiaolou stared at the place where Uncle Wu cast the spell yesterday in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, Xie Xiaolou opened his phone and looked at the time, it was already 12:30, and the appointment was 12 o'clock, they usually wouldn't be late for so long, nothing would happen.
Xie Xiaolou was a little worried, and was about to call the black wolf, but as soon as he opened the dialing interface, the black wolf took the initiative to call.
"Xiaolou, hurry, come to the intersection of Nanhua Road, someone called the police just now, saying that a Taoist priest is driving the corpse!"
Chase out the corpses? That's right, Xie Xiaolou lit up his phone and looked at the time, that's right, it was May 2014, shouldn't this kind of thing happen in the last century?
Besides, this is also going to be called to the police? Do you accuse them of disturbing the people? Or a crowd to make trouble?
Xie Xiaolou was amused by his own thoughts, whether it was true or not, he didn't have time to think about it at the moment, so he hurriedly put away the materials for preparing the spirit conjuring in his backpack, picked up the bag and ran towards the Nanhua intersection.
