Chapter Thirty-Six: The Strange Thing Fished Out

This thing looked very heavy, and Sister-in-law Fan was engrossed in it, holding the pole and lifting it out inch by inchβ€”her arms trembled slightly as the pole came out longer and longer. I can't hold on anymore.

Erlong and Lu Dagang went over to help, and the three of them went out together, I made up my mind not to help, and 'inserted' my sleeves and shrunk my neck to watch the excitement on the side.

I saw a "whooshing" sound on the black 'colored' river, and a black and slimy thing emerged from the water, which seemed to be a human portrait. This thing was put in a net pocket, and it was so wet that it could slide back into the water if it wasn't careful.

Lu Dagang took out a hook from the bottom of the boat, lay on the boat, stretched the hook over, hooked the net pocket, and slowly dragged it over. When he got to the side of the boat, he hugged it with his hand. Pick that thing out of the water, don't care about it, and put it in the cabin.

This thing is more than a meter long, and the height of the stone mother-in-law in front of the Jizo Temple is about the same, and the shape is also very similar, with a round head and a round face, quite like a machine qì cat. Lu Dagang hugged it easily, it was definitely not made of stone, this should also be a stone mother-in-law.

Our goal was achieved, and Lu Dagang urged Sister-in-law Fan to turn around and return to shore. Sister-in-law Fan put away the artemisia, wiped her hands with a torn 'hairy' towel, picked up the flashlight and shone the thing. She was stunned. In the dark, the flashlight flashed brightly, and the face was very unsightly.

"What's wrong?" Lu Dagang asked.

"This doesn't seem to be Granny Shi." Sister-in-law Fan said.

We looked at it together, and although I had seen Granny Shi many times, I had never looked at what this thing looked like in detail. This thing, you can't look closely, it exudes a very negative energy from top to bottom, which makes people feel very uncomfortable.

"I don't think it's any different." Erlong said.

Sister-in-law Fan raised her wrist, and the flashlight shone on the head of this statue, and said, "Take a closer look." ”

This time, I saw clearly that this statue actually had two heads around its neck. Two heads, one big and one small. It's round, I don't know if it's too dark at night, or it's rough by hand, and there doesn't seem to be carved facial features on the head.

"This thing," Sister-in-law Fan said in a trembling voice, "It's too evil, will there be a problem?" ”

Erlong casually picked up a rag. Rubbing the water off the figure, he said, "I know what's going on." Come and see. ”

Let's go over it. He turned the figure upside down, and on the back of the figure was carved the shape of a child, whose head rested on the shoulders of the figure. eBook novel download rong> that is to say, it is not that there are two heads, but that this portrait is originally two people, an adult carries a child on his back, and the child's small head is 'exposed' in front. The light is not good at night, which causes a kind of poor vision and makes us look at it wrongly.

But this is strange enough, Sister-in-law Fan said that she has never seen such a Granny Shi.

Erlong said, "What's so strange, think about what the name of the Jizo Bodhisattva enshrined in the Jizo Temple is. ”

"Mother and Son." Lu Dagang said.

Erlong said: "It's not enough." The thing we salvaged is obviously the mother carrying the child on her back, which is in line with the name of the mother and son Jizozun. ”

Lu Dagang was happy: "You kid, you can, this can make you 'Meng' out." ”

I didn't speak. The current situation is beyond the scope of my thinking, and I can only watch and come to no conclusions.

"There seems to be a word in the back." Lu Dagang said: "Sister-in-law, illuminate." ”

Fan's sister-in-law shined a flashlight on the past, and on the back of the portrait, there were eight traditional characters engraved, because the age was too long, and the words were carved very shallowly and very blurry. We barely recognized it, and what it was written was: Start with goodness and stop when you encounter force.

"What do you mean?" I say.

Lu Dagang was impatient: "No matter what he means, this thing is from the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, let alone seven or eight hundred years, the ancients have these words similar to the Qi language, it's not a big deal." ”

"Then we'll use this to make a soul sealing spell?" Erlong said.

Lu Dagang said: "Yes, just use this." I have a feeling that this is the stone granny used in the formal soul sealing spell ceremony, and it is most in line with the image of the mother and son Jizozun. No wonder Meng Hong's 'wave' soul summoning failed, what he fished out of the river was a copycat, so it's no wonder if something doesn't go wrong. ”

"Let's go." I say.

Sister-in-law Fan turned off the flashlight, threw it at the bottom of the boat, rowed the oars, and we slowly rowed to the shore in the boat.

On the way back, no one spoke, and everyone's faces were a little pale in the moonlight. The atmosphere is very depressing, and I can't tell where this 'gloomy' feeling comes from, but I just feel that something is wrong. My eyelids were beating wildly, and my heart was 'confused', like I had drunk fake wine.

Back on the shore, we carried the fished out Granny Shi out of the cabin. You can feel it in the hand, it is indeed made of plants, which is amazing. We took turns carrying and carrying on our backs, and returned along the mountain road, and cautiously entered the village. Looking at the watch, more than four hours have passed.

We put Granny Shi at Sister-in-law Fan's house and agreed to do this tonight first, and we all went back to rest. Raise enough 'spirit' spirits, gather at 11 o'clock tomorrow night, and go to the Tibetan Temple in the back mountain to repeat the ritual of sealing the soul spell.

We took advantage of the night 'color' and came to the inn silently. As soon as I walked in, the desk lamp was lit in the lobby, and the old man at the front desk was reading the newspaper, and when he saw us coming back, his face sank: "What the hell are you guys doing, you came back so late." ”

Lu Dagang said: "It's okay uncle, rest you, let's go back to sleep." Let's go out and see the night view. ”

The old man threw the old 'flower' mirror on the table and said: "I tell you, you descendants in the city, don't know the height of the sky, don't regret it if you really want to cause any trouble." ”

Lu Dagang was impatient: "No regrets, no regrets......" pushed us upstairs.

Lying on the 'bed' in my room at night, I didn't sleep well all night, I had nightmares all night, and I finally stayed up until dawn, and my head was heavy and I had no strength. Anyway, I didn't have anything to do today, so I played with my phone for a while, and then went back to sleep, 'messing' up time.

Tonight's soul sealing spell, no matter what the result is, I have made up my mind, this matter is over, who loves whom.

The lunch and evening meals were all brought in by Erlong. Erlong is really good, he knows how to respect his predecessors, unlike Lu Dagang's kid, who is becoming more and more rude to me now. After dinner, I was taking a nap when I was suddenly pushed awake. There was no light in the house, so Lu Dagang and Erlong came in with flashlights and whispered, "Hurry up and get dressed and get down to business." ”

I looked at my watch in a daze, and it was half past ten. Wipe your eyes and sit up, get dressed, and come out with them. The old man in the lobby didn't know where to go, so we sneaked out and trotted all the way to Sister-in-law Fan's house.

Knock on the 'door' to go in, Sister-in-law Fan has already cleaned up, and Granny Shi, who fished out last night, put it in the yard. Lu Da just went over and wanted to carry Granny Shi behind him, and Sister-in-law Fan said, "Don't be busy walking, there are still things to take." ”

We followed her into the main hall of the back room, where there were a few black bags in the corner. When it was opened, it contained paper money, offerings, incense burners, candles, and other items, and another black bag contained a set of red clothes and a ghost mask.

When Meng Hong 'Bo' held the ceremony, he wore these strange clothes. I rummaged through my clothes and masks, they were very worn and very old, and they seemed to have been passed down from the Fan family for several generations. Meng Hong's 'Bo' suit should have been made by himself after he returned to the city, and the real old thing is here.

Erlong picked up these black bags, and the 'mess' was 'quite heavy' together. He carried the black bag behind his back.

Lu Dagang carried Granny Shi, Erlong carried these things, only I was empty-handed, I was secretly happy in my heart, and I took advantage of it.

At this time, Sister-in-law Fan patted me: "Big brother, come over and do me a favor." ”

I walked with her to the coffin, and she said something that I almost didn't sit on the ground: "You are responsible for carrying the man's body." ”

Lu Dagang grinned: "Brother Luo, hurry up and carry it." ”

This greasy and unfortunate in my heart. But it can't be helped, I've seen the ritual of the soul sealing spell, summoning the soul to possess the body, and the corpse must be prepared. To resurrect Thief Fan tonight, you have to carry Thief Fan's body to the Jizo Temple.

Seeing that I didn't move, Sister-in-law Fan immediately understood: "Big brother, do you dislike your eldest brother?" ”

I scolded in my heart, a stinky thief, how did he become my big brother.

Erlong handed me the black bag: "Brother Luo, you take these, and I will carry the corpse." ”

When he said this, I was embarrassed, coughed and said, "Forget it, count me unlucky, damn, I'll carry it." ”

I squatted next to the coffin, and Sister-in-law Fan was really strong, leaned into the coffin, dragged out the body of the thief Fan, and pressed it against my back. I craned my neck, not to mention this greasy energy. Fan thief is hard, and there is an indescribable smell, like salted fish, which can top people's noses.

The whole body was lying on my back, and I held on to the coffin, my legs trembling and I didn't stand up. It is said that the corpse is dead and heavy, which is not bad at all, and the Fan thief pressed on his back, like a hemp bag stuffed with cement. I haven't exercised for a long time, and once I put on weight, I feel very weak and sweaty.

Sister-in-law Fan didn't let me carry it myself, she dragged Fan thief's two 'legs' behind her to lighten my burden.

We walked out step by step, from the house to the courtyard, just such a short distance, I was so tired that I almost didn't carry my breath, this is a mountain road, and no one can die.

As soon as we arrived in the courtyard, we suddenly saw a stone grandmother standing in the dark courtyard, blocking the big 'door'. Everyone is cold, no, Granny Shi who was fished out of the river is carrying Lu Dagang on her back, why is there another one?

Sister-in-law Fan used a flashlight to shine, and a beam of light 'shot' over, and we saw that the person standing in the yard turned out to be a child, and the tiger-headed one was the son of Fan thief.
