Chapter 139: The Devil

Jiang Shoushou opened one eye slightly, saw the beams of the house, and also saw the dark mountain temple. The sky was already bright, but most of the light was blocked by broken tiles, broken windows and broken doors, and for a while the figure was longing and banging, and I didn't know what Xiao Mao's father was moving.

"I've wronged you." Xiao Mao's father suddenly said this, which made Jiang Shou wonder why, and then a heavy object smashed on his body, and then a foul smell came to his face.

At this time, Jiang Shoushou had already recovered some of his body, only to hear a "pop", and the coffin lid was closed again. The stench made his stomach churn, and he had digested last night's dinner, and he cried so much that he vomited a little sour water. He had never experienced such a grievance, and he could no longer control his feelings, as if he was struggling before dying, trying his best to overturn the heavy objects pressed on his body.

In addition to the dull air in the coffin, there was also a pungent smell at this time, which made Jiang Shoushou become a madman. Nervous, he touched the weight indiscriminately, trying to determine what could make such a smell, whether it was an animal carcass or a sun-dried pig in the water, but unfortunately it wasn't.

It was the corpse of a dead man, and it was a dried corpse, Jiang Ren's fingers slashed into the two sunken eye sockets on his rotting head, and the panicked maggots were crawling from his nails to the skin of his fingers, and the momentary fear made him completely forget who he was, time and place no longer mattered, and at this moment no threat could compare to avoiding foreign objects close to him.

Not only that, but maggots seem to be attracted to new flesh and pour out of their nests from the dried corpses. In a special environment, maggots that love carrion also become hungry. They roamed Jiang Shouren's body wantonly, leaving marks on every inch of skin.

The itchy and painful bite and peck made Jiang Shou, who had already lost too much blood, even more injured, this was not only physical pain, but also spiritual pain, the corpse was like a ghost's smile to a ten-year-old child, no matter how charming the smile was, it could not hide the ugly heart of the laugher.

Everyone has something to fear, even if it doesn't cause harm, for Jiang Shoushou, these pains are caused by corpses. From that moment on. Not only was he afraid of corpses, but he also had a great fear of death, which was why he later tried all kinds of tricks to find the secret treasure of immortality.

In the end, Jiang Shoushou survived. It's not because of how much he can do. It is the favor of the god of luck.

Two days later. Jiang Shoushou was found "dead" on the river beach, his life hanging by a thread, and it took half a year of treatment to recover his spirit. But his mental state was once abnormal, as the so-called once he was bitten by a snake for ten years and was afraid of the well rope, and the shadow of his childhood was invading him all the time, causing his personality to change greatly and become more silent.

First of all, it was no one else who saved him, it was the person who cultivated the bones. Since the establishment of the Reclamation Bone Dao faction, the people of the Reclamation Bone Dao have been digging countless ancient tombs of all sizes, and they have become famous in the rivers and lakes, but they can rely on their own means, and they are inevitably weak, and who can carry forward after a hundred years, so they are looking for the heirs of the talents and talents in the north and south of the river.

And Jiang Shoushou was the first one he chose.

In fact, the search for people is not looking for a needle in a haystack, but purposefully. He knew that Jiang Youdao and his wife were also from the Taoist sect, and their son naturally inherited the Taoist nature.

One day, when the people of Kengu Dao came to the county where Jiang's family was located, they received rumors, and many people were talking about the three big coffins that appeared in the mountain temple. From his familiarity with the strange events that have occurred among the people over the years, he is naturally interested in finding out what happened.

As the people of the mountain temple gathered and dispersed, the people of the Bone Reclamation Dao had already investigated the ins and outs of the whole thing in secret. Originally, he had his own plan and didn't want to make trouble, but later Jiang Shoushou was implicated, so he couldn't sit idly by.

Let's talk about the cause and effect of this incident.

It turns out that several generations of Xiao Mao's family have been affected by a curse. Originated from the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, when their family produced a military general, brave and good at fighting, unfortunately captured in a battle against the Qing army, because he could not withstand repeated torture, and finally surrendered to the Qing army. Under his advantage, the city gate was later opened, and the Qing army slaughtered the city and killed the people. Among the people who escaped by luck, there was a hermit master who knew how to Qimen Dunjia, and he really hated his behavior, so he put a great curse on him that lasted for a hundred years.

This curse is called "Father and Son", the so-called life and death on the same day, the father and son do not see, that is, each generation in the family must give birth to a boy, and the birth of a boy means the death of his father.

It is precisely because of the difference in the original thought that the family fell in the middle of the road, and the children and grandchildren withered, and the boys who were inevitably born in each generation were also the only bloodlines that continued to burn incense.

After more than 200 years, to Xiao Mao's father's generation, it seems that it has reached the age of standing, others have become fathers early, but they can't make up their minds, that year is about unfilial piety and three no queens, so go down to be sorry for the lords and sects, and the next to attract people's words, whether to choose his own destination or the continuation of the incense, he hesitated for a long time.

It was also his life that should not be extinguished, in the days of walking the rivers and lakes, one day he met a colleague, who was also a juggler who was walking all over the world, and learned a way to break the curse from that person's mouth.

This method is extremely cruel, not to say that I don't know, it's really shocking to say it.

That old artist has been performing in various places since he was a child, and has met many strange people, the so-called well-informed, and heard many similar curses, but none of them are as strict as Xiao Mao's family. Because many curses will gradually become invalid over time and accumulate merits, but they will not have any effect on his family.

This method is also recorded in Jiang Youdao's "Thirty-six Techniques of Taoism", called "Ghost Technique", as the name suggests, it is a Taoist technique that can deceive gods and deceive ghosts, and can hide ghosts and gods. As far as Xiao Mao's family is concerned, if you want to completely break the curse, you have to pay for your own life with the lives of others.

Xiao Mao's father and Li Dajiao's birth date are the same, so Xiao Mao's birth date must be the same as Li Xiao's, in this way, the ghost trick can work, but it will take ten years to implement, and it will also help Xiao Mao survive the age of ten.

Because Xiao Mao's ancestors did too much evil to sow bitter fruits, the Taoist technique cannot be cracked all at once, and it is easy to have the effect of backlash, in other words, there must be a gradual process. This is the year after Xiao Mao was born, Jiang Shoushou's mother saw the mourning hall and the small coffin prepared by Xiao Mao's family. In fact, Xiao Mao had prepared these before he was born, but no one found out. (To be continued......)
