Chapter Ninety-Nine: Borrowing the Corpse to Resurrect the Soul
It is said that Miao Jiang has a Gu technique called Forgetting Worries Gu, which can make people forget all the things that happened before today. Modern medicine classifies this symptom as amnesia, which is a psychiatric disorder, and most patients with amnesia will gradually recover some memories over time, and some fragments will stimulate the brain to retrieve some of the lost memories.
I don't know if there is really a Forget Worry Gu in this world, but later they did find an unknown insect in Ye Qiu's body, the same one as my dead cousin-in-law in Zhuangyuan Village. The insect looks like a silkworm, but it eats only meat and not leaves.
Ye Qiu said that he remembered a lot of things, he said that he had been here before, and he even told the fat man and Cha Wenbin that the figurines contained himself.
"I've been having a dream these days in which I often see my head cut off. The headless man kept telling me to go collect his body, and I asked him who he was, and he said he was me. I said who are you and why are you me, and he said his name was Zao Wou-Ki. He said that I am not the real me now, and that every time I see the person in my dreams I want to run away, but he always appears in all directions, and then I have this knife all the time, and I put it under my pillow, and the headless person has never reappeared. ”
"Are you sure that figurine is you?" Cha Wenbin asked.
Ye Qiu nodded, he was silent for a moment, and then asked Cha Wenbin, "Do you believe in borrowing corpses to return souls?" ”
"I believe it, but don't think about it, if it's really what you say, it may not be a bad thing, at least you're still alive."
"yes, it's ironic to live to collect your own body."
That coin is the best proof of this, and it clearly indicates the date, when a 1978 five-cent coin was worth enough to convince people that the body in the figurine was from our era. At least it was confirmed, and someone had been here in the last few years, and no one could understand how he ended up like that.
That figurine was Ye Qiu, and his surname was Zhao written on his card, so who was this man standing in front of them and roaring?
Even he doesn't know it anymore......
"If these figurines are all latecomers, then ......" Cha Wenbin put forward this idea, and then he thought of what Ye Qiu said when he came in: Someone will die here, why would he say that?
"Now it doesn't matter who you are, answer me first, is the person in that figurine the last time he died here?"
Ye Qiu's mood was also a little calmer, he nodded and said, "Yes, that's me." ”
"Remember what happened?"
"I don't remember, my gut tells me it's me. My head hurts, and as soon as I try to think about the past, it feels like there are thousands of ants eating at my brain. ”
Cha Wenbin turned to the fat man and said, "Stone, you and I go to open the coffin and let Ye Qiu rest for a while." ”
This kind of coffin is actually a set of coffins, the smallest inside, and then layer by layer, and finally the coffin, the fastest way to open the coffin is to enter the coffin first, such a large coffin, it is not feasible to pry it open directly. However, in ancient times, the coffins were stuck with each other through the tenon, there were no nails, and the top part was also the most fragile, as long as you opened the tenon at the top four corners, you could see the contents like lifting the lid of the pot.
The fat man used both hands and feet, but when he reached the top, he found that this top had already been opened. There were two logs on top that had been removed from the side, and the vacated hole was fine for both of them.
Down to the coffin there is a ** red dragon coffin, about four meters long, two meters wide, other objects have not been found. The fat man was about to make a move, but Cha Wenbin shouted to stop: "Slow! ”
The fat man thought that he was going to engage in that set of mages and make a worship or something, so he smiled and said: "Although I haven't visited the imperial tomb, I have also gone to more than a dozen general nests, for us in this line, there is really something to pounce on you, it is useless to worship him, you have to be ruthless." No one wants to be woken up by someone who sleeps well, and if I lie in it, you will burn a truckload of paper money for me, and I will not be happy. ”
Cha Wenbin shook his head and said, "Have you noticed, this coffin doesn't seem to have been touched, don't you think it's strange?" ”
"Yes." The fat man looked up at the gap above his head, and then thought of the figurines outside, "Isn't it just for this little thing that there is such a big movement, this pot has been opened, there is no reason not to get some soup and drink." ”
"Wait a minute." After that, Cha Wenbin took out a small handful of lime powder from the bag and spread it in his palm, then put it to his mouth and blew lightly on the coffin lid, and a layer of white dust immediately fell on the lid. In this way, he sprayed a layer of white powder on the entire coffin lid, and then shined a strong light, and at this time, several messy handprints on the coffin lid immediately appeared.
This hand can make the fat man stunned, and shouted again and again: "I didn't expect it, it seems that someone has touched this thing." ”
"I touched it, but I didn't open it." Cha Wenbin carefully checked the gap in the coffin again, and there was no sign of prying, and the coffin was still sealed.
"It's gone!" The fat man's heart was full of joy, his mind was full of funeral goods, professional habits, so he took out the folding sapper shovel and said, "I'll come." ”
Cha Wenbin held down the fat man, he always felt that something was wrong, and a voice in his heart silently told him not to touch it.
"Stone, let's go."
"Let's go? You're crazy, it's hard to come down, isn't it stupid to just withdraw like this! ”
"Let's go, something is wrong here, at least there are no less than two groups of people who have been here, they are all like us, and they can find this place but they don't open the coffin in the end, don't you think it's strange?"
"They're stupid, the fat man never goes out empty-handed as long as he enters the nest."
Cha Wenbin yelled at him: "Remember, we are not robbing tombs!" ”
"What's that doing?" The fat man also got angry and said: "You tell me, lift the roof where people sleep, you go to the people's room for a walk, and you are not a thief when you go out, who will believe you?" You're not a thief, why are you coming in! You're in a panic! ”
Cha Wenbin didn't want to quarrel with him, so he waved his hand and said, "I want to pause, is it okay?" ”
"No, you can't!" The fat man picked up the shovel and was about to pry it, and he shouted: "We have been cursed, and the curse knows!" No one can save us, except ourselves! ”
Seeing that the fat man was about to start exerting his strength, Cha Wenbin hugged the fat man and dragged him back, and the two became entangled together. The fat man's strength was far greater than Cha Wenbin's, but with a flick of his arm, Cha Wenbin hit the wood of the coffin fiercely, and the fat man continued to step forward to open the coffin, Cha Wenbin fell to the ground and hugged the fat man's legs. The fat man stumbled, and also fell forward to the ground, at this time I don't know if the fat man was in a hurry or messed up, in short, he picked up the military shovel in his hand and slashed it back, if it wasn't for Cha Wenbin's hand to take the seven-star sword to block it, it is estimated that half of the face was cut by the fat man at that time.
There was a "bell" and a splash of sparks, which only made Cha Wenbin feel that the world was spinning, and it also made him feel a nameless fire in his heart. Watching the fat man walk towards the coffin step by step, Cha Wenbin pulled out the seven-star sword in his hand and slowly got up from the ground......
"Stop!" There was a loud roar from the top of the head, and then a figure jumped down from the top and rushed straight at the two of them, knocking the fat man and Cha Wenbin into a daze. The man raised his arm and "snapped" is two ear scrapers, which made the fat man and Cha Wenbin have gold stars in their eyes, and their cheeks suddenly bulged high.
Ye Qiu came at the right time, he vaguely heard a quarrel in the coffin outside, climbed up and took a look, good guy, Cha Wenbin's posture was about to sneak attack and slaughter the fat man from behind, and it was thanks to him that he didn't cause a big disaster.
This Cha Wenbin was also shocked in a cold sweat, the slap woke him up, and the fat man was also stunned, the two of them looked at each other and couldn't figure out what happened just now, why did they fight?
"It's dangerous!" Cha Wenbin, who came back to his senses, realized that he had just been tricked by the fat man, as the saying goes, the ghost lost his mind and covered his mind. Look at the sharp sapper shovel on the ground and the unsheathed sword, the relationship between these two brothers is to fight to the death, and then look at the lime of the coffin, there are clearly more footprints, this is neither theirs nor Ye Qiu's, and I understand what there must be in it.
"Take a sip." Cha Wenbin wiped the water stains from his mouth and handed a vial to the fat man.
The fat man shook the bottle and put it to his mouth to smell it, there was a pungent smell, and he quickly pinched his nose and asked, "What is it?" ”
"Old gray water, I asked someone to get the thousand-year-end ash from the big incense burner in front of the Chongyang Palace, save a little, don't give me a mouthful. We are also confused by ghosts, this is really a Taoist priest deceived by ghosts, and it is a shame to spread it. ”
The fat man took a sip and hurriedly returned it to Cha Wenbin, but after the water went down, he suddenly felt a refreshing breath churning from his stomach, and he rushed straight to his head along the esophagus, and shook his head, as if he had just washed his face with cold water, which was extremely comfortable.
"One more bite, I'm still a little dizzy."
Cha Wenbin hurriedly covered the bottle: "Come on, drink one sip less from this thing, don't think about it." The two of them completely lost the tense appearance just now, and returned to their original appearance.
"I really have to thank Brother Ye," the fat man thought that something was wrong, and quickly changed his words: "Oh no, Brother Zhao." ”
Ye Qiu sighed and said, "Let's call me Ye Qiu, the one surnamed Zhao is already dead." ”
Cha Wenbin smiled, and while he took out some things from his bag, he said, "It's good to figure it out." ”
Ye Qiu asked, "What are you?" ”
"Ghost hunting." "Do you want my help?" "Will you too?" "I won't ......"
