Chapter 141: Tricking the Corpse
These wandering spirits are loyal subordinates of Guiguzi, and they have been looking forward to the return of Guiguzi, and even almost regarded Jiang Li as Guiguzi, the more wandering spirits, the simpler their thoughts will be, because they no longer experience right and wrong, no longer experience people and things, so time has smoothed their edges and corners and become extremely simple.
One of the geists told me that he firmly believed that Guiguzi would not die, that he must have only left for a short time and would return in a few days. The importance of Guiguzi in their hearts is incomparable, just like an era with a core character. Guiguzi's ideas also had a certain effect on their inheritance.
I can't help but admire Yin Changsheng in my heart, if Yin Changsheng doesn't have the great ability to reach the sky, how can he be qualified to accept Guiguzi as a disciple.
I didn't have a crush on them, but I couldn't get rid of them.
During the day, Jiang Li told us that Su I was sure to be the descendants of Su Qin, and it was also mentioned in the ancient books before that these disciples of Guiguzi were distributed near Guigu Cave, and Jiang Li guessed that these descendants should also be in these villages, and Su I was found by the old blind man in the village closest to Guigu Cave.
This is also the clue given to us by the old blind man.
The old blind man's approach is very clever, firstly, it is obvious to let us know that he is helping us, secondly, he hints that the distribution of the descendants of Guiguzi's disciples is among these villages, and thirdly, he excavates a Su I, and with eyebrows, the next road will make us go more smoothly.
In my heart, I also admire the old blind man more and more for doing things.
He followed Jiang to the nearest village, which looked no different from ours.
As soon as we arrived in the village, it seemed that someone was doing a funeral, and most of the people in the village went to the same house, and the mourning music played, and we followed the source of the sound to find the family.
I heard from the people in the village that the person who died was the wife of the village chief, and I heard that the village chief ordered Rick's wife, who had married no less than three or four wives over the years, and died of a strange disease in less than a year, and the girls in the village did not dare to marry him, so he went to another village to marry, no. Another one died.
When the Wandering Corpse King heard these words, he was angry, "What kind of thing, don't marry your wife, it's good to be a bachelor for a lifetime, what do you do to harm people." β
Lin Yongye gave a thumbs up, "It makes sense, I agree." β
Jiang Li looked extremely calm, and said seriously, "Cause and effect are reincarnated, and there is a cause to have an effect." β
The Wandering Corpse King rolled his eyes, and directly hugged Jiang Li's elbow and said, "My dear, my Wangfu, is it okay for you to marry me as a husband!" β
Flutter β
Lin Yongye and I almost didn't laugh and hammered the ground with our fists.
Jiang Li's face was gloomy, and he looked at us with a sense of resentment, "Isn't it funny?" β
Lin Yongye and I obediently shut our mouths and pretended that nothing had happened.
The Wandering Corpse King didn't give up, holding Jiang Li's arm and looking cute, "A beautiful wife who can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, Jiang Li, you have been lonely for a thousand years, don't you want to have a chance to spend the Spring Festival with me?" β
Jiang Li's eyes were cold, and his face was extremely gloomy, so frightened that the Wandering Corpse King hurriedly ran to our side, his face pale.
Later, I learned that the village chief's name is Zhang Guosheng, a seventy-year-old man, who has been the village chief in this village for ten years, has gone out to read some books before, is literate and educated, and is very concerned about the big and small things in the village.
So even if it was his wife's funeral, most of them were men.
Zhang Guosheng has two children, both of whom are male dolls. Twenty-five years old, after being admitted to university, he chose to teach, rarely came back, and was only eighteen years old when he was younger, but he was sick since he was a child, and his health was not very good.
It is said that it was also because of that time that Zhang Guosheng's temperament suddenly changed greatly and he became a womanizer.
At night, there were only a few people left in the mourning hall, all of whom were from the village chief's own family, and the rest of the village had returned home early and did not stay long.
We stood on the side and looked very conspicuous, Zhang Guosheng walked towards us, "Which one are you!" Haven't seen it before, out-of-towners? Zhang Guosheng showed his gestures, and he saw that all of them were full of recklessness, which was far from the feeling of a scholar.
Jiang Li politely saluted, "We are a Taoist priest passing by here, asking for a place to live." Wait a while and go. β
When Zhang Guosheng heard Jiang Li say that he was a Taoist priest, his eyes lit up, and his face instantly improved, which is not surprising, the people in the village generally respect the clergy like Duangong Shenpo, not to mention the Taoist priests who are more respected than them, and they are treasures in the village. Although there are cultural differences between villages, the superstition in the countryside is heavy, and more believers can resolve disasters, so I like Jiang Li very much from the bottom of my heart.
As soon as Zhang Guosheng grasped Jiang Li's hand, his face was about to laugh, "Dao Chief, don't talk about finding a place to live." If you want to live for a year, it's no problem, this matter is on me Zhang Guosheng, but it's too late now, you can live in my house. β
Jiang Lien sighed and said, "I'm sorry for you." β
As soon as these words fell, the things in the coffin actually made a whining sound⨠which really frightened the people around, and their faces turned pale, to say that it was Zhang Guosheng's deceased wife who was lying in this coffin, how could he still make a sound.
Zhang Guosheng's face changed greatly, and he hurriedly walked towards the coffin, but before he got close to the coffin, the woman in the coffin actually crawled out by herself. looked at Zhang Guosheng with a resentful face, and walked slowly towards him step by step, this woman was wearing a dead man's clothes, wearing toad shoes on her feet, and her eyes were looking at him.
Jiang Li's eyes flickered, he took a closer look, and spoke. "Zombie."
This good and dignified corpse suddenly changed, and the people on the scene were dumbfounded, and the dead man came out of the coffin by himself for no reason, and everyone would be scared enough to be scared when it came to this matter.
Zhang Guosheng's face turned pale with fright, and he hurriedly ran behind Jiang Li, tugging on Jiang Li's sleeve and shouting, "Dao Chief." Help me! β
Jiang Li raised his magic sword and pointed at the female corpse, but did not speak, the female corpse was stunned, staggering and reluctant to leave. Jiang Li scolded, "Yin and yang, each goes its own way, don't be greedy for personnel, there will be retribution in the reincarnation of cause and effect!" β
The female corpse listened to Jiang Li's words and staggered out.
Seeing the situation, Zhang Guosheng questioned Jiang Li, "Dao Chief, why did you let her go like this and not accept her!" β
Jiang Li shook his head and told Zhang Guosheng, "She has nothing to do harm, there is no reason to kill her, she has a mirror in her heart, and she is not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door." β
Zhang Guosheng kept his mouth shut, took us to his house to rest and settle down, and didn't say anything.
Lin Yongye and I also thought this thing was quite strange, the Wandering Corpse King arranged a room alone, and the three of us big men were crammed into one room.
I asked Jiang Li. Why did the female corpse let her go today?
Jiang Li said secretively, "Some things, there must be a cause and effect, let her leave, you can also find the truth of some things, this Zhang Guosheng is hiding some things." β
Lin Yongye said, although this Zhang Guosheng is doing things strangely. However, our first task should be to find the descendants of Guiguzi's disciples and revive the Guigu faction, and there is no need to waste time on a lustful village chief.
Jiang Li just smiled and didn't say much.
In the daytime, before dawn, I heard the voices of people in front of Zhang Guosheng's house, noisy and chaotic.
Walking around, a group of villagers gathered in front of Zhang Guosheng to complain, saying that Zhang Guosheng's woman had cheated the corpse and went to the village to make trouble, and Lin Erdan of the Lin family in the next house was found hanging from a tree this morning, and some people witnessed that it was Zhang Guosheng's deceased wife who did it.
The spearhead of the whole thing is all pointed at Zhang Guosheng. He was sweating so much that his vest was drenched with sweat.
Jiang Li followed the people in the village to the place where Lin Erdan was hanged, and the people in the village told Jiang Li that Lin Erdan was very obedient since he was a child, and he was also diligent in doing farm work, and he was especially enthusiastic to help some old men and women who were too old to do farm work, so the people in the village liked Erdan very much.
Everyone knows that Erdan's personality is impossible to have an extreme personality, and it is absolutely impossible to commit suicide.
This Lin Erdan suddenly hanged himself on a tree, and some people said that they saw the figure of Zhang Guosheng's deceased wife with their own eyes, and the two were linked, and they were very sure that it was the female corpse who killed Lin Erdan.
The villagers knew that Jiang Li was a Taoist priest, and they all asked him to uphold justice for the Lin family.
Jiang Li glanced at it. Lin Erdan's body had been lowered from the tree by the villagers and placed on the ground, his face was black and blue, his tongue sticking out, and the stench was strong.
Lin Erdan's corpse was already soaked with urine, and the smell of feces emanated from Lin Erdan's body. Many hanged people will have incontinence after death, and the smell of feces was expelled after Lin Erdan's death.
Jiang Li asked me to take out the life and death book to see if Lin Erdan had not finished his life or was in a catastrophe.
I opened my backpack, carefully took the life and death book of the red book in my hand, and flipped through several pages before I found the list of their village, Lin Erdan's name is more conspicuous, I can see it at a glance, and this Lin Erdan written on it should have an accident in the next few days.
This......
I couldn't understand it for a while, so I showed it to Jiang Li, Jiang Li glanced at it, nodded and said, "I will deal with Lin Erdan's matter, please rest assured, the deceased rest in peace." Please let him be buried as soon as possible. β
Because everyone in the village likes Lin Erdan, and knows that Jiang Li is a Taoist priest, they went to Zhang Guosheng's house one after another to give gifts, and asked Zhang Guosheng to hand them over to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li told me that there are many peasant women in the village who give gifts, if it is really Zhang Guosheng's deceased wife who killed Lin Erdan, Zhang Guosheng's position as village chief is afraid that he will not be able to sit steadily, most of the women in the village do not want to see Zhang Guosheng, Lin Erdan is not their family after all, so enthusiastic to let Jiang Li call the shots, people with a discerning eye can see that they want to hit Zhang Guosheng by the way.
I asked Jiang Li, does Lin Erdan's death really have anything to do with the female corpse?
Jiang Li said that this matter still needs to be investigated.
It is clearly written on the life and death book that Lin Erdan will go down to the yin in the next few days, if it is a female corpse, it doesn't make sense.
Jiang Li asked me to pack up and go to Lin Erdan's Spiritual Hall, and told me to bring my things well, and the things in my backpack were not leaked, and Jiang Li brought some yellow table paper with me.
When I arrived in front of Lin Erdan's mourning hall, there were a few villagers sitting in the squirry, and later I heard from the villagers that Lin Erdan's parents died early, and Lin Erdan was left alone in the house, very pitiful.
In the evening, Jiang Li asked the villagers to go back first, he just stayed here, the villagers heard that where they could aggrieved the Taoist to come to the vigil, and expressed their disagreement, Jiang Li told them that he stayed here to investigate the cause of Lin Erdan's death, and it was not convenient for the villagers to stay here.
With that, the villagers left.
There are only four people left in the entire mourning hall: Jiang Li, me, Lin Yongye, and the Wandering Corpse King.
A common way to summon spirits in the countryside is that before the funeral of the deceased, a relative of the deceased stands on the roof of the house and shouts the name of the deceased a few times, thinking that in this way he will summon his departed soul back, so as not to return home and become a wild ghost.
Jiang Li wanted to summon Lin Erdan's soul and communicate with him, but now he knew that Lin Erdan's family was no longer alive, and he had no relatives at all.
If you want to shout souls, it won't work at all.
In the Yinshan spell books, it is recorded that a kind of witch called "Guan Death Po" uses certain methods to possess ghosts, and after the ghosts possess her, she becomes the agent of the ghosts, and can make the living and the ghosts talk. One is the witch's usual method called "such as soul magic", which is mainly to carry out psychological suggestion hypnosis on the person who wants to pass through the yin, so that he feels that he is in a specific environment with the witch's mantra, and the soul seems to leave itself and float towards the underworld, at which time the onlookers can see the person who has passed the yin talking or doing some other actions with the ghost.
