Chapter Thirty-Eight: A Stick
The days of such a happy conversation lasted for about a month, Zhang Weidong felt that he had gained a lot, and he became a year-old friend with the Taoist priest, he was completely intoxicated with the Taoist priest's Taoist world, and regarded him as a respected teacher. On the night of the seventh day, the Taoist priest said that he was leaving, and he asked Zhang Weidong if there was a place called Molin Town nearby, and he said that there were ghosts in that place, so he wanted to go to subdue demons and eliminate demons.
This Zhang Weidong is just a Taoist lover after all, and the ability of various heavenly masters to catch ghosts rumored in Taoism has always made him feel very magical, and now, this Taoist priest is actually going to hunt ghosts, so how can he miss such an opportunity? So he proposed to be with the Taoist priest, and the nickname of Molin Town was Lonely Soul Gangzi, and of course he Zhang Weidong felt that this trip was an action that represented justice and light. The Taoist priest claimed to be surnamed Jia, and after hesitating for a moment, he couldn't stand Zhang Weidong's repeated requests and agreed, and wrote a list for Zhang Weidong to go and buy. What's on this list?
Compass, peachwood sword, some rune paper, incense candles, cinnabar, hemp rope, etc., these things are also used by Cha Wenbin in his usual time, and the other is that Zhang Weidong went to ask someone to make two sets of paper clothes, one red and one green. Early the next morning, Zhang Weidong went to do so, these things were not difficult to procure, he specially bought some dry food, and the two of them waited until he got off work in the afternoon and began to go in the direction of Merlin Town. This time was Zhang Weidong's day of no return, that is, three days ago in the evening, Zhang Weidong and Najia Taoist came to the dam of the reservoir.
There, that Daoist Jia began to do it, he asked Zhang Weidong to be his protector, Zhang Weidong only looked at the Taoist priest holding the rune wooden sword in his hand and chattering, which made Zhang Weidong feel both nervous and excited. As the sky gradually darkened, the wind on the dam was getting stronger and stronger, and the Taoist priest didn't know if he was tired of jumping, so he sat down and drew a talisman to flush the water and handed it to Zhang Weidong, saying that this talisman could open his eyes to heaven.
Hearing this, Cha Wenbin felt that there was something wrong, since he was taking him to protect the Fa, he should have given him a token, or a talisman, how could he give him a talisman water? Besides, I've never heard of the need to drink talisman water to open the eyes of the sky.
This Zhang Weidong had long trusted that Jia Daoist, and without the slightest hesitation, he took the talisman and drank it all, he was still thinking about what his heavenly eyes would look like when he opened it. As everyone knows, not long after, he fell to the ground, and in a trance he only felt that his body was light and fluttering, only to see that there was a self lying on the ground, and no matter how he shouted at the dancing Taoist priest, he seemed to be unresponsive, and kept chanting some scriptures that he didn't understand but felt very uncomfortable.
He waited for his respected Taoist to come to his rescue, but not long after, he tied Zhang Weidong with the hemp rope, Zhang Weidong said that the rope was wrapped in runes, and then he was involuntarily led forward like a dog, until he reached the edge of the reservoir.
"Hook the soul lock," Cha Wenbin heard the name of this, he asserted: "You were killed by that Taoist priest, there was a problem with the bowl of talisman water you drank, and then you could save you, but instead forcibly pulled your soul away, so that you finally had the illusion of dying of a heart attack, what is this Taoist priest going to do to detain your soul?" ”
After asking this sentence, Zhang Weidong's face suddenly appeared with an extremely frightened expression, in Cha Wenbin's memory, it is rare to see a ghost and be so frightened, what else is there to be afraid of a person who is already dead?
"Don't be afraid, tell me," Cha Wenbin comforted, "I will not spare a person who plotted to kill your life." ”
"He pulled me in, into the water, that water, there was ...... in the water"
"What's there?"
At this moment, a violent dog barking suddenly sounded outside the house, and the Zhang family raised a small earthen dog to watch the yard, and tied it to a jujube tree in the yard with a rope. Isn't there a living person coming in, Cha Wenbin secretly said badly, if this is a rash break into this mourning hall, it will be a bad thing, the living are the most easy to rush, and the consequences of this rush are not easy to say.
"You hide here, I'll go out and have a look." Cha Wenbin still went out at this juncture with the idea of not having an accident, and the moment he turned around and pushed the door open, as soon as he took a step out of his front foot, there was a slap on the back of his neck, and then he shook his head slightly and fell down like a mess of mud.
Sore, Cha Wenbin blinked his eyelids, there were many people around, and the light was a little dazzling. There were a lot of people with strong accents around him who were talking, and there were some low cries and noisy quarrels, and he found himself lying on a bed, gently covering his eyes with his hands, only to hear those people saying, "Wake up, wake up, just wake up, or the old Zhang family will really have a big deal." ”
It had been three hours since he was knocked unconscious, and it was only half an hour since he was discovered, because Cha Wenbin had said that he would not let anyone stay at home, but the young people who went up the mountain with him felt very noisy in the second half of the night, and they actually got up again and prepared to sneak into Zhang's house to see what the Zha Immortal in their eyes was doing. Who knew that as soon as I entered the house, the whole courtyard was dark, and there were incense, candles, paper money and the smelly smell of Weidong everywhere, and several people thought it was strange, could this Cha Wenbin be alone with the dead corpse at night in the dark light? Fortunately, the moon in the second half of the night sneaked out in time in the clouds, and vaguely saw a person at the door of the mourning hall by the dim moonlight.
The Taoist priest turned to the news outside the mourning hall and left, and several people didn't care about what to be afraid of, so they went to knock on the door of the village clinic with Cha Wenbin in their arms, and the old doctor on duty put on his clothes and pinched him and did chest pressure, and Cha Wenbin finally woke up slowly. The place on the back of the neck was still red and swollen, and the stick was really not light, and the back of the head seemed to have been stung by a bee, because of his identity and the location of the accident, the village suddenly set off a bloody storm.
People invariably thought that Zhang Weidong must have turned into a powerful ghost and almost killed this Taoist priest, so that people were panicked, and some people didn't wait for dawn to pack up and take their families outside to join other relatives. Chang Liang's father is the village party secretary, and now he has surrounded the Zhang family with the militia, and he is going to burn the dead man on the spot, but the old father of the Zhang family is still pleading and wants to leave a whole corpse for his son.
No, the old mother of the Zhang family has been staying at the health center, and she has been waiting for Cha Wenbin to wake up. Cha Wenbin leaned on the head of the bed for a while and felt nauseous in his heart, and he was nauseated, and the doctor said that it was estimated that there was a slight concussion, but more people were sure that he was injured by a ghost.
"Okay, I should be fine," Cha Wenbin refused to send him to the county hospital, and said to Douzi: "You notify the Zhang family and bury the person." ”
"Burial or cremation?" Douzi asked: "Chang Liang and his father are going to bring people to crush Zhang Weidong's bones and ashes!" ”
"Nonsense," Cha Wenbin got up with the infusion shelf and said: "I'm fine, I'm not rushed by some powerful ghost, I was beaten by someone else, you don't care about this matter, I have my own measure." Ask all the fellow villagers, have you noticed that there has been an old man with an unfamiliar face in the village, dressed in tatters like a flower child. As soon as Cha Wenbin woke up, although his body was quite repulsive, he knew what he had probably encountered, sitting on the bed and looking in a daze, he had secretly calculated, that Zhang Weidong's soul had been dispersed, and he had this ability and needed to do this, through Zhang Weidong's previous series of descriptions, it was not difficult for him to guess that it was the Taoist called Huazi Jia in his mouth, and he was also attacked by him.
However, there are no valuable clues in the village, firstly, there was no one near Zhang's house at the time of the incident, secondly, it was too late, almost all the villagers were resting, and thirdly, it had been more than two hours since Cha Wenbin was attacked, and he was discovered, and the attacker could have left calmly.
After drinking a few sips of water, Cha Wenbin immediately rushed back to Zhang's house, Chang Liang and their militia were attacking, one by one with guns and flashlights on their backs, vowing to raid Zhang Weidong's house. Cha Wenbin explained that he was attacked and first dismissed those militiamen, and then told the old father of the Zhang family to prepare to bury it before dawn, there is no need to wait, of course, he will not tell the old man that his son has been scattered, in fact, even the need to pay tribute in the future is gone......
After Cha Wenbin rested for a while, he explained to Chang Liang and a few of them to help a little more, to notify those who should be notified, to refute the rumors, and to help the Zhang family get rid of the last bit of the matter, while he himself pushed the bicycle and kept twisting his neck and began to walk back. But since he has already agreed, he will not break his promise, that Zhang Weidong came to find himself to send a letter is to hand over this injustice to himself to wash away, this matter is really impossible to go to the police, you go to the police station to say that it is useless, the court will never recognize that a Taoist priest can use a rope to hook away people's "soul", resulting in the death of the victim.
