I was stunned when I heard it, there are women who use their hair as weapons, and they also use people as puppets to manipulate?!

"Puppetry." Xie Nanhua said three words.

I snapped into it. Hurriedly said: "In the past, I and Jieling once encountered this kind of evil art in the countryside of our hometown. ”

I still remember vividly, the second brother Luo Ermi went crazy, actually had sex with a puppet, became seriously ill, and almost died. At that time, Xie Ling said that this kind of puppet was a kind of puppetry, called a borrowed corpse puppet. He also told me that there are five ways to borrow a corpse, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. The corpse puppet that my second brother met used the water method. The famous Xiangxi corpse is used to control the corpse with soil.

I'll briefly talk about that experience. Xie Nanhua nodded: "The magic of controlling corpses has been around for a long time, but the real system was in the East during the shogunate era. ”

"Japan?" I say.

"Yes. Why is it called puppetry, not puppetry or trickry, because puppetry has a specific meaning in Japan. I've only heard about it. At that time, there was a top-notch master of Onmyoji in Japan, and he himself was also a first-class Gujing Liuli singer. ”

"Pure glass?" I think it's fresh, I haven't heard anything Xie Nanhua say.

"Kojo Ruri is a very old form of stage performance in Japan, similar to Noh theater, but the performance on stage is not a real person, but a human puppet."

I laughed, "What's new about this." ”

Xie Nanhua shook his head: "This kind of puppet drama in Japan has a deep connotation, and the way they perform Jingliuli is relatively unique, which is different from ordinary puppet shows. They are on display on stage with the puppets, with a person next to them singing and dubbing the various puppets. This onmyoji had some insights when performing puppet dramas, and he collected the corpse control techniques of various sects and factions to achieve the use of corpse puppetry. This kind of evil art flourished in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and was lost in the late Qing Dynasty, and has not been seen on the rivers and lakes for a long time. I once had the pleasure of seeing this kind of pure glass puppet show in Osaka, Japan, when an artist sued me. The highest level that a puppeteer can achieve is to become the soul of a puppet. ”

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"On the surface, you are the manipulator, the master controller, and you are manipulating the puppets. In fact, in the theatrical world of the stage, the puppet, as a dead thing, needs to be its 'soul' if it wants to express its living life. On the surface, it seems that the puppet is controlled by the puppet, but in a sense, the puppet is controlled by the puppet in turn. ”

I was fascinated by what I heard: "So our mysterious murderer has something to do with the Japanese?" ”

Xie Nanhua shook his head: "The puppet technique of borrowing corpses has a long history, with a history of hundreds of years, and Sino-Japanese exchanges have been around for a long time, and it is not uncommon for this kind of magic to be transmitted to the Central Plains. It cannot be arbitrarily said that it must have something to do with Japan. ”

"Then this woman manipulates the corpse with her hair, which one of these belongs to gold, wood, water, fire, and earth?" I asked.

"I don't know." Xie Nanhua stood up: "Look at Old Man Wang's situation." ”

Old man Wang was lying on the ground. Motionless and unconscious.

"What's wrong with him?" I asked worriedly.

Xie Nanhua touched his pulse, and rolled his eyelids again: "Luo Dao, help me help him up." ”

I helped Old Man Wang to sit up, and Xie Nanhua stretched out his right hand. Formed a strange handprint, drew a talisman in front of the old man Wang, and then shouted: "Ha! "Put the handprint on the old man's head.

It didn't take long for the old man Wang to rise above his head.

Xie Nanhua's face became ugly, he bit the tip of his tongue again, and squirted at Old Man Wang's head.

The sky sprinkled a rain of blood, and the old man Wang's face was full of blood. Xie Nanhua squatted on the ground, gasped a few times, and muttered, "It shouldn't be." ”

"What's wrong?" I was very worried.

Xie Nanhua said: "I have beaten his yin soul back into his body, and just now I used blood to sacrifice my soul to solidify my soul, it is supposed to have a little reaction, why is there still no breath now?" "Stay in the private zone.

I heard that Old Man Wang had hope of survival, and I was very excited: "Nanhua, you mean he can survive?" ”

"Look at the creation." Xie Nanhua looked at Old Man Wang and said, "I always feel that something is wrong here. That mysterious master fought with us, but she still showed mercy to her subordinates, and didn't take us seriously, otherwise we would both have to be planted here today. And it seems to be a fighting method, but in fact, the result is that she returned the body and soul of Old Man Wang. What the hell is she trying to do? ”

"Such a weirdo has a fluctuating personality and does things upside down, so naturally there is no common sense to follow. Let's take a look at Uncle Wang first. I said.

Xie Nanhua asked me to hold the body of the old man Wang, and he checked it very carefully little by little, checked and checked, and sure enough, there was a problem.

When he checked Old Man Wang's neck, Xie Nanhua gently touched the back of his head with his hand, as if he had touched something, and his expression was awe-inspiring. He stretched out his fingers and gently clamped them, and slowly pulled them out, and I was surprised to see that a thin needle was actually pulled out from the back of Old Man Wang's neck.

The needle was as thin as a hair, pale yellow, like copper. Xie Nanhua didn't let me touch it, saying that it was better not to touch such an evil thing.

Xie Nanhua took out a red cloth belt from his pocket, carefully wrapped the needle inside, and put it in his pocket. He said, "Luo Dao, this needle should be the core of the puppet technique used by that woman. You just asked her which kind of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth she used, and now you understand. ”

I blinked and was stunned for a long time, and suddenly had an idea: "She used the golden method?" ”

Xie Nanhua nodded: "Yes, on the surface, she is using her hair to manipulate the corpse, but the real mechanism is actually on this needle." ”

Strange to say, as soon as the needle was pulled out, the old man Wang groaned, "Oops, oops". I called out urgently, "Uncle Wang." ”

Xie Nanhua wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth: "Get out of here first." He is still on the line of life and death, and you call him useless now. ”

I bent down and gritted my teeth to carry the old man on my back. Xie Nanhua took the bag, and we walked out of this forest one after the other. We breathed a sigh of relief when we came to the Blind Man's Valley outside along the sheep intestine mountain road and got out of danger.

There is no light burden on the long journey, not to mention that I still carry a big living person on my back. I was tired of a deep foot and a shallow foot, Xie Nanhua wanted to replace me, I shook my head: "Old man Wang has the grace of my life, I should carry him for a while, and when I really can't hold it, you can replace me again." ”

Xie Nanhua looked at me: "I probably know why Xie Ling wants to accept you as an apprentice." ”

I smiled: "When I finish learning with him, see if you dare to call me a mallet." ”

Xie Nanhua laughed, it was the first time I had seen him smile so heartily. While we were talking, Xie Nanhua's call came, he made a gesture to take a break, and I panted and leaned Old Man Wang against the tree. Xie Nanhua answered the phone.

The amplification of his mobile phone is very good, and the woods are very quiet, so he can hear the speech clearly.

The call came from Aunt Wang, and her voice was very anxious: "Nanhua, are you with Luo Dao?" ”

"Yes." Xie Nanhua said.

"You're in the mountains, aren't you?" Aunt Wang said, "I just called the two of you a lot but didn't get through. ”

Just now it was still in that locust forest, there was a magic circle, and the signal was completely blocked.

"Auntie, we are in the mountains, and the signal is not good. Tell me anything. "Xie Nanhua said.

Aunt Wang said: "My friends in the organization found Boss Issa, and I told him everything, but Boss Isa said that this matter would not let us continue to chase ......"

I pricked up my ears and listened, and Xie Nanhua's tone was very flat: "Why? ”

"Boss Isa told me that he knows who the murderer behind Lin Faguang is, the situation is very complicated, the water here is very deep, and chasing down is likely to involve big people. He said that he would communicate with that person, so that neither of us could have another misunderstanding, another incident, and let each other stop, and this matter would be over. Aunt Wang said.

I stood up, leaned over and said, "Where's the bell?" ”

"Where's the bell?" Xie Nanhua asked. He then made a gesture for me not to speak.

Aunt Wang said: "Untie the bell...... It's back! ”

When I heard this, I was stunned for a moment, and then I was ecstatic, and I forgot everything in excitement, and cried out loudly: "The bell is back!" The bell is back! ”

"Nanhua, let Xie Ling say a few words to you?" Aunt Wang said.

Xie Nanhua's expression stiffened, and his lips trembled: "Forget it." Let's go back and talk about it. ”

In an instant, I felt that the mountains and forests in the cold wind became incomparably beautiful, and my heart blossomed. The bell came back, and the stone in my heart finally fell to the ground. This hellish place is gloomy and depressing, and I don't know the place well, I've stayed enough, and I can finally go home easily.

"Hey, lala, the sky is shining" I didn't feel tired carrying Old Man Wang on my back, and couldn't help but hum a few words.

Xie Nanhua looked a little depressed, and he smiled reluctantly: "Xie Ling is back, you are so happy?" ”

"You two too," I was so happy that I had no scruples: "There is nothing to say, like enemies to each other." ”

Xie Nanhua didn't like this topic, and said: "I said why the woman just now was fleeting when she fought with me, and she left half a point of affection for things, it turned out that Boss Isa was looking for her to communicate with her." She's probably trying to test me. ”

"Who's Boss Ersa?" I asked.

"I haven't seen it either, he's the local leader in Long City, and he's in charge of the entire organization." Xie Nanhua said gloomily: "Although the matter has been resolved, I still feel uncomfortable in my heart, and it is too inexplicable. Alas, too, it's finally settled. I'm going to book a plane ticket and leave, and the company still has a bunch of things to do. ”

I originally wanted to match the two of them, but then I thought about my own weight, so forget it. I'm soft-spoken, don't pick up a chicken feather as an arrow, and in the end it's annoying.

The mountain road is really difficult to walk, and it will be late, so I reconciled Nanhua and took turns carrying Old Man Wang on his back. Xie Nanhua seems to be thin, and the strength on his body is really inexhaustible, and he walks on the mountain road with a big living person on his back.

His spell path is completely different from that of the Ring, and I feel that his national skills are much stronger than the Bell.

Later, the old man Wang was simply carried by him, and I carried the mountaineering bag, and we went all the way out of the mountain, and finally returned to the inn in the evening.

As soon as I entered the door, Aunt Wang and Ye Fan were already waiting at the door, Ye Fan helped me take the bag, Aunt Wang looked at us in the dust, her eyes were a little red: "Are you okay?" ”

"It's fine." I say.

As soon as the words fell, a person walked down the stairs on the second floor. Xie Nanhua and the man looked at each other, and the two stood in place, neither of them moving nor speaking.

The person who came down was the one who had the bell to be solved.
