Chapter 160: Ghost Dealer 6
The man smiled with satisfaction, and went back to find other relatively intact corpsesβhe had led five dogs in total, and had ordered seven or eight corpses to collect five souls. A few of the revenants rejected him outright, preferring to be vaporized by the sun rather than reduced to a commodity to be bought and sold.
Turning into a dog, he heard that the companions who came with the man called him "Boss Wei". From time to time, Boss Wei and his companions mentioned a person with the surname "Guerjia Clan", saying that they wanted to sell these souls to the people of the Guerjia Clan as Yin soldiers.
When he heard the word "Yin Soldier", he regretted it a little. He was killed as a soldier when he was alive, and he didn't want to be a soldier in the underworld after his death. But now he is in the dog's body, with an iron chain around his neck, and he can't escape, so he has to follow Boss Wei obediently.
When Grandpa heard this, his face sank.
Xiaomi's face was expressionless and silent.
Boss Wei and his companions rummaged through all the corpses on the battlefield, and finally returned home.
He tried to escape twice on the way, but was discovered by Boss Wei, and after discovering it, he inevitably suffered a severe beating. Later, he figured out that there was no point in running away like this, and he was no longer a person, but a dog.
Boss Wei walked for several days.
The more he followed Boss Wei, the more excited he became, because he found that Boss Wei seemed to be going to his hometown of Zichuan.
Sure enough, Boss Wei arrived in Zichuan. Before entering Zichuan, Boss Wei and his companions separated. They are supposed to be out of sight. A couple of people led a large group of dogs, which was really conspicuous. He heard from Boss Wei that he heard some inside information about buying and selling souls, and it was said that they were also divided into small factions of ghost dealers, and each faction competed with each other, and sometimes there was a phenomenon of being robbed by peers on the way to "transport goods". Therefore, as soon as the ghost dealers of small factions arrive in places with more people, they will be reduced to zero. In this way, even if they are attacked by the big factions with red eyes, they will lose less and will not be wiped out.
Boss Wei went to the small hotel where his father and Xiaomi lived. He handed over the five dogs to the shopkeeper, and went to his companion to drink first. Boss Wei is a heavy drinker, and if he doesn't drink for a day, he will be itchy all over, unable to eat, and unable to sleep well.
Turned into a dog, he did not expect to see his former wife at the door of this small inn, and he threw himself at her excitedly, forgetting for a moment that he was a dog. When he saw his wife asking the shopkeeper if he had seen the child and knew that she was looking for their child, he was also anxious and barked again and again.
But his wife did not recognize him, and after a while she left the inn.
He was very disappointed.
But when evening was approaching, he found his wife again. This time, he couldn't help but pounce on his wife, trying to get her attention.
Boss Wei was afraid that he would show his stuffing, so he ruthlessly kicked him so that his face was swollen and his bones were almost broken.
He had no choice but to whine, but even the cry was no different from that of a dog.
Later, his father and Xiaomi rescued him from Boss Wei, and he finally got his wish and lay down next to his wife.
He has been a soldier outside for almost a year, and he has never had the opportunity to get close to women, and at this time he suddenly slept next to his wife, where could he bear it? For a moment he forgot that he was a dog, and he was so obsessed that he wanted to strip his wife of her clothes and do the man-woman thing with her.
His wife kicked him out of bed in fright, just as the nervous bride kicked him to the ground on their wedding night when he was about to undress him.
After being kicked to the ground, his heart was like a cat's scratch. He realizes that he is a dog, and if he forcibly wants to do something to his former wife, he will defile her with the body of a dog. But if he had to hold back, he felt that it was too difficult. After all, the woman in front of him was the wife who had shared the bed with him for many days and nights.
He couldn't help but think about it. In the past, many men and women who loved each other would swear by each other, saying that if they were born, they would be in the same bed and that they would die in the same hole, and that no matter what you become, they will stay together until they are old. But did they ever wonder if they would be together if one of them turned into a dog and became another animal?
Later, his grandfather fed him water, and as soon as he finished drinking it, he felt dizzy, and the heavens and the earth turned upside down, as if there had been a violent earthquake. He couldn't stand the feeling and finally collapsed.
After a while, he felt his head no longer dizzy, the heavens and the earth recovered, and the earthquake subsided.
He opened his eyes and saw his soul coming out of the dog's body.
Xiaomi asked his father, "Can a dog make a horcrux?" Is this the original technique of Boss Wei and these ghost dealers? β
Grandpa shook his head and said, "No, this kind of technique first appeared in the Yungui area, and then spread to the north and south of the river. In the beginning, people who knew this kind of magic did not use dogs to make soul containers, but ordinary altars and jars. β
Grandpa had seen this kind of case in the ancient Zhiyi book, saying that there was a Guizhou envoy named Fei Yuanlong who took his entourage to play near Dianchi Lake in Yunnan. A house slave surnamed Zhang rode a horse and followed Fei Yuanlong. The house slave surnamed Zhang suddenly screamed and fell off his horse. After the house slave fell, he found that his left leg was missing. Fei Yuanlong knew that this was done by a person who knew evil magic, so he posted a notice, declaring that if anyone could cure the leg of the slave surnamed Zhang, he would be rewarded with a few silver taels. Soon an old man came and said, "This is what I did, when you were a slave surnamed Zhang, you relied on the status of your master to do a lot of things too much, so I deliberately let him be frightened by this." Fei Yuanlong apologized to the old man and promised to take good care of his subordinates in the future. The slave surnamed Zhang also kept begging for mercy, promising that he would not dare in the future. So the old man untied a small purse and took out a leg, which was as small as a toad's leg. The old man said something in his mouth, sighed at the calf, and then threw it at the slave surnamed Zhang. The left leg of the slave surnamed Zhang recovered as before. And the old man received the bounty and swaggered away. Someone asked Fei Yunlong why he didn't arrest the old man. Fei Yunlong said that arresting him would not cure him.
Others asked Fei Yunlong why he couldn't cure the old man.
Fei Yunlong said: When I was an official in Guizhou, there was a villain who committed many crimes, and the government's records about him were piled up. It's not that the government didn't punish him. The government once beat him to death and threw his body into the river. But three days later he would reappear, and five days later he would start doing evil again. The government arrested him again and beat him to death. But three days later he reappeared, and five days later he began to do evil again. And so on and so forth. The government had no choice but to hand him over to the general of the local garrison. The general was furious and asked the emperor to behead the villain. The emperor approved. So the general beheaded the scoundrel, and his body was in a different place. This time, everyone thought that the villain would definitely die. But three days later, he reappeared, but there was a faint red line on the neck where his head and body met. Five days later, he was doing evil everywhere as before.
Later, the scoundrel beat his mother. His mother ran to the government and said that her son was unfilial, and she had a jar in her hand. His mother pointed to the altar and said it was the altar of the rebel's soul. She said that this rebel knew that his crime was extremely evil and he could not escape the punishment of the government, so he first refined his soul at home and hid his soul in this altar with strange spells. The government killed her son's flesh and blood, and did not hurt her soul. And her son's soul has been refined and cultivated, and it has become very powerful, and it only takes three days to recover the injured flesh and blood. She said that she used to protect her son, but now that his son is becoming more and more arrogant, he beats her at every turn, and she can't bear it anymore. She begged the government to destroy the Hidden Soul Altar first, and then use a chakra fan to fan her son's soul away, and then torture her son. In this way, her wicked son can really die.
The government did as the villain's mother said, and beat the scoundrel to death.
After three days, the villain did not appear. The government sent someone to conduct an autopsy and found that the body of the villain had rotted and stinked. After that, the villain never appeared again.
Fei Yunlong said, this old man must also have a soul-hiding technique, and it is useless for me to punish him.
Millet asked his father: "You said that you used to use ordinary jars and jars, why do they use dogs now?" β
"Jars and jars are not easy to carry, especially for people like Boss Wei, every transaction requires the souls of several people, and the jars and jars will inevitably collide and break. Dogs are different, they walk on their own, and they are more hidden, especially for the layman, who do not even think about the soul of a person in the dog's body. However, Boss Wei is not a powerful figure among ghost dealers. It can use the body of a cat as a horcrux, and the body of a cat can hold the souls of nine people at a time. Daddy explained.
Millet asked, "Because of the saying that cats have nine lives?" β
Grandpa nodded and said, "Since the time of Qin Shi Huang, some people have used the body of a cat as a horcrux to hold people's souls. β
"Is it okay to only cats and dogs? What about other animals? Millet asked.
"Cats and dogs are not ordinary animals, they are both spiritual pets, the green dragon and the right white tiger, the front Vermilion Bird and the back Xuanwu, and the middle Wuxu Tu, which are fish and cats, chickens and snakes and turtles, and dogs. Dogs are in the middle of the earth, so we often say that dogs belong to the earth. Only these spirit pets can be used as Horcruxes. But from the perspective of carrying, fish, chickens, snakes, and turtles are not easy to carry. Only cats and dogs can run along. β
"I see!" Xiaomi suddenly realized and nodded again and again.
Grandpa asked the man: "You heard Boss Wei mention the people of the Guerjia clan, did you hear them mention where they will trade?" β
The man thought for a moment and said, "I didn't say the specific place, but listening to them discuss the days of crossing the Yellow River, I think they have to continue to go north, at least to the north of the Yellow River to trade." β
Grandpa knew it in his heart. The people of the Guerjia clan are naturally not Ze Shengmo. Miss Tie and her father had sniped at Ze Sheng in Zhili Province, and Ze Sheng no longer dared to come to the corpse-strewn battlefield to collect Yin soldiers, so he bought Dead Souls from ghost dealers instead. It's a lot more hidden.
