Chapter Twenty-Five: Spell Search

I stopped and looked at the two doors of the mourning hall, and saw that the doors were down, and near the threshold, there seemed to be something painted... I hunched down, wiped my hand on the door, and then put it under my nose and sniffed it, and I vaguely smelled a strange smell, and I couldn't tell what it was...

"What's wrong, A-Leng?" Morningstar asked in a whisper.

"Huh? It's okay..."

I looked back at the crowd and everyone was looking at us. Quietly took out a tissue from my pocket, wiped my hands, pushed open the door of the mourning hall, and walked in with the support of Morning Star...

I don't know if it's the reason for the 'corpse', or if the deceased has no wife and heirs, and there is no one in the mourning hall to keep the spirit. The body was lying on a bed facing the door, covered with a cloth. Facing the head of the bed, on the spiritual table against the wall, one left and one right, two white candles are burning...

From the sound of breathing, Morning Star was a little nervous.

"Let go of me, it's okay," I whispered.

Morningstar shook his head and helped me to the head of the morgue. I took a slow breath, stretched out my hands, and little by little, lifted the cloth covering the corpse...

It's this 'person' who chased me and Old Man Yang to the river last night and almost strangled me to death... At this moment, he was lying quietly, his face as if he was covered with a layer of dead ashes. Judging from his slightly puffed cheeks, the lonely void rune I stuffed into his mouth last night, to the wind, is still in it...

I thought about it and decided not to take it out yet.

"Huh? I said, aren't you looking for an ID card, how do you look at my brother's body? What the hell do you do? A voice at the door said.

I looked over and saw the man standing in the doorway, glaring at me, and the 'Taoist priest' following him with a blank face.

"Huh? I'm going to make sure first, and see how I want to cast the spell..."

"Since the ID card fell on the riverside, if you want to cast a spell, you should also go to the riverside, what kind of spell is it here?" The Taoist priest interrupted me and said coldly.

Without thinking, I replied, "Then, the Taoist chief 'asked rice', why don't you go to the riverside, but here?" ”

"I..." the Taoist priest was stunned by me, then pointed to the bed and said, "Because the body of the deceased is at home, I naturally have to 'ask rice' at home!" ”

I let out a long 'oh' sound, "That's right, that's why I'm too..."

The Taoist priest had nothing to say, so he snorted.

"Since you cast the spell, then you should hurry up and cast it!" The man said.

"Don't worry, I'll make a divination first, see if I can get it, and give me a pen and paper."

The man hesitated for a moment and muttered, "If you come here to find trouble, you will look good then..."

After the pen and paper came, I drew a nine-square grid on the paper with a pen, and then looked at the time, set the game, and dried up the stargate... Added to the bureau in turn, Qimen looking for things, divided into 'dead things' and 'living things', like ID cards, belong to 'dead things', that is, things that can't move, Qimen looking for dead things, generally with 'Shi Gan' as the use of God, look at its fall palace... In the current game, Shi Gan's '癸'癸' fell in Xun Palace. At present, it has just started summer, and the summer solstice has not yet arrived, so it is Yang Dun, Yang Dun Bureau, Turntable Qimen, Xun Palace is in the inner plate, looking at the situation in the palace, not entering the tomb, nor dying in the air, but there is a horse star in the palace...

After carefully analyzing the situation, I said, "Your brother's ID card is at home, judging from the situation, Ma Xingchong Xun, Ma took the initiative, indicating that if you look for it now, you can't find it, even if you turn to the place where the ID card is located, it will follow other things, that is, it is hidden in other things, 'run' away, and you are mistaken, I will calculate the due date to see when I can find it..."

I closed my eyes, pinched my fingers to calculate the due date, and after a while, I opened my eyes and said, "From today, until the afternoon of the seventh day, between three and four o'clock, look for the southeast location of the house, and your brother's ID card will appear..."

After saying that, I looked at the man, and I saw that his eyes were straight at what he heard.

"Hehe," the Taoist priest smiled contemptuously, "You're really good at fooling people, at home... Day 7... After a while you'll be slapped on the ass and gone, and by the seventh day, who knows where you are? When the time comes, people won't be able to find it, and it won't have anything to do with you..."

Hearing what the Taoist priest said, the man reacted, "That's it!" ”

"This person is here to look for trouble," the Taoist priest said, "I asked your brother just now, and he said that his ID card fell on the riverside, and this person came out of nowhere, and he drew on the paper indiscriminately, and said that your brother's ID card is at home." Because it was nonsense, he couldn't find it at all, so he made up a lie and said that on the seventh day, there is a kind of you asking him to find it now? ”

"You think I can't find it?" I looked at him coldly, "I just said, I'll make a guess first." Judging from the results of divination, with conventional methods, you can't find it at the moment, but with unconventional methods, you can't necessarily find it... Star, help me out. ”

"Okay."

When I came outside, I glanced around the crowd and said to Xiaoqing, "Sister Qing." ”

"Huh?"

"Excuse me, go back to the car, and help me bring the bag containing the magic weapon."

"Oh."

"I'll go with Sister Qing." Yuxin said.

After the bag was brought, I ordered everyone to give up a piece of open space, take out the things that started the game, and start the game again. After the game was finished, I took out a four-sided rune, used a cinnabar pen, and wrote a '癸' character on the back of the symbol, and then converted the time when the game just started into a dry branch and wrote it on the periphery of the word '癸'. Then, I folded the talisman and carefully placed it in the Xun Palace of the current game, put it away, I stood up, walked around the Jiugong grid, and when I walked to the position of the Xun Palace, I pinched a trick violently, pointed to the wooden sign with 'horse' written in the palace, stomped on the ground, and shouted, 'Go!' ’… The wooden card 'Teng' jumped from the Xun Palace to the diagonal Qiangong, so that the 'Ma Xing' who hindered the search for the object was removed by my spell, and everyone was stunned...

I put away the Fa, bent down with two fingers, gently pinched the 'talisman' in the Xun Palace, and walked towards the southeast of the house, and everyone followed.

To the southeast of this house is a side house. I pushed the door open and walked in, only to see that it was a bedroom, and it was a mess. Standing in the middle of the room, I spread out the talisman, held my hands flat, closed my eyes, and silently recited the mantra of the four directions, and after three times, I withdrew with both hands... After a while, I opened my eyes and glanced over, only to see that the talisman had landed next to an old standing closet...

I walked over and opened the closet, only to see that the clothes and bedding were messy inside. I closed my eyes again, and while I was silently reciting the mantra, thinking about the ID card in my heart, I stretched out my hand and inserted it into the pile of clothes, and as soon as I grabbed it, I felt like I was grasping a coat.

Little by little, I pulled out the coat, and I carried it outside.

After sweeping around the crowd, I said to the man, "Your brother's ID card should be in this coat..."

As I spoke, I turned my coat upside down and shook it on the ground, and after shaking it a few times, it 'snapped', and something fell out, which was my ID card... The crowd 'coaxed', like boiling a pot...

I picked up my ID card, looked at it, and handed it to the man, "Let's see if it's your brother's." ”

"It's... It's my brother's, this..."

"Dao Chief," I said, "you don't think I've forged this ID card, do you?" ”

The Taoist priest's face was embarrassed, wiped the sweat on his head, and said to the man, "This... Oh, I know, your brother must have remembered it wrong, his ID was obviously at home, and he said that it fell by the river..."

"Enough!"

When the Taoist priest ate me like this, his body trembled.

"The reason why your brother ran to the river was not to look for any ID card at all, but his corpse, which was artificially controlled."

"Control?" The man asked in surprise.

"That's right." I waved my hand, "Follow me..."

When I came to the mourning hall, I 'hula' lifted the cloth covering the corpse, pointed to the corpse and said, "He has something in his mouth, do you mind if I take it out?" ”

The man stood dumbfounded, shaking his head.

I slapped my palm on the corpse's chin, and then I pinched my cheeks with my hands, and the corpse opened its mouth, and I reached in with two fingers and pinched out the lonely rune.

"This thing is an extremely powerful magic weapon of our Legalist Qimen, do you know why it is in your brother's mouth?"

"Why?"

I talked about the process of being chased by this corpse to the river last night, and I and Xiang Feng worked together to subdue it.

"The reason why I came here is to find out why your brother's body was controlled."

The man looked at me in disbelief.

Suddenly, I heard the chaos outside, and when I came to the door, it turned out that the Taoist priest was about to run, but was stopped by Yuxin.

"Lie down!"

After Yuxin finished speaking, she stretched out her hand, grabbed the Taoist priest's arm, pulled him, and pushed him to the ground. Yuxin stroked her hair back, and the onlookers looked at her in disbelief...

"What are you going to do?" The Taoist priest was unable to move by the rain, and lay on the ground and shouted.

"Dao Chief, what are you running?" I asked.

"Who said I was going to run..."

"This dead liar has deceived many people in our village!" A man shouted.

"Take him to the police station..."

Yuxin dragged the Taoist priest up from the ground and handed it to the two strong men in the crowd, and everyone surrounded them, shouting and leaving...

After everyone left, I asked the man how he found out that his brother's body was missing, and he said that he kept a wake for his brother last night, and he fell asleep not long after, and when he woke up, he found that his brother's body was gone...

"Did anyone come to your house last night?" I asked.

"Nope..."

I thought of the door, "Big brother, come on..."

When I came to the door, I pointed to the bottom of the door and said, "Big brother, look, what's painted on it?" ”

"Huh? I don't know..."

"Ah Leng." Morningstar walked over, "It's almost noon, do you want to go to the snake farm first?" ”

I was about to answer. The man asked, "Which snake farm are you going to?" ”

I pointed with my finger, "It's the one to the east." ”

"I opened the snake farm."

"You drove it?"

"yes..."

The man said that he and his brother were foreigners, and neither of them had wives. In the past, the two brothers resold clothes. A snake farm was set up in the back, and the snakes raised were not only supplied to pharmaceutical companies, but also to the mountain villas and snake restaurants in the county...

"Which mountain villa, is it ×× mountain villa?" I asked.

"Yes," the man pointed to the courtyard, "the courtyard where we live belongs to the owner of the rented villa." Seeing that I have some savings in my hand, my brother and I are about to buy a house together, but my brother, alas..."

As he spoke, the man wiped his eyes.

All sorts of thoughts were spinning in my mind.

"Your brother... Was it the day before yesterday? I asked.

"Hmm... I'm going to stop for three days and then take his ashes back to my hometown for burial, who knows what happened..."

"Who did you drink with on the night of your brother's accident?" I interrupted him and asked.

"It's the boss of the villa, Zhou, who said that there were guests from Shandong who came over, because my brother had a good amount of wine, so he called me and asked my brother to accompany the wine..."
