Chapter 8: Codex of the Dead
I tossed and turned until the middle of the night before I fell asleep in a daze, but I was just working hard, and my consciousness was still hazy when I was woken up by the sound of Liu Yan getting up.
This guy is the hardest student in our dormitory, and he gets up early every morning to go to the classroom for self-study.
"Your sister, speak softly."
I rolled over, but I couldn't sleep anymore after being woken up, so I had no choice but to get dressed and leave the dormitory with a small coffin.
The coffin is not an auspicious thing, I hope I don't get into trouble.
Luckily, I was safe and sound, and after an hour's bus ride, I returned home smoothly.
My family is in the countryside, many things have their own customs and habits, and my grandfather used to be a ghost hunter, so there are even more taboos in the family.
Before I could enter the door, a gossip mirror hanging on the door suddenly trembled, and an extremely uncomfortable feeling immediately enveloped me, followed by an irresistible feeling of vertigo, and the next second I completely lost consciousness.
When I woke up again, it was the next morning, and the moment I opened my eyes, I saw my mother sitting next to me with a worried face, and when she saw me wake up, she asked many questions with concern.
It's just that now my body is too weak to digest her gushing questions.
"Alright, you let him have a good rest."
Grandpa locked the door directly after opening his mother, and the kind smile on his face was gone, replaced by a stern look that I had never seen before.
I sat up from the bed weakly, just in time to see Grandpa's hand holding the small coffin I had found under the willow tree, and before I could speak, Grandpa's heavy tone came out.
"Where did you find this?" Grandpa was very abnormal today, and there was even a hint of anger in his words.
I rubbed my head, which was still a little uncomfortable, and recounted everything that had happened at school.
After listening to my account, my grandfather soon fell into silence, like an old monk who had settled down, and he would not say a word, no matter how loudly I shouted from the side.
"It's really strange, why did the magic weapon at home attack me today, is it because ......" I looked at the small coffin, there was nothing else unclean on my body, and it was impossible for the magic weapon at home to attack me for no reason, so only the small coffin was the most suspicious.
"You shouldn't mess with this." Grandpa suddenly spoke at this time, sighed and sat down on the edge of my bed, I don't know why, he looked extremely haggard after coming out of the state just now.
I didn't know what it was, and asked, "What is the origin of this thing, and can't you solve it with your ability?" ”
As I said before, Grandpa's spells are very strong, and although he has withdrawn from the path of ghost hunting, he will not regress in mana like mine.
This is the question of a person's heritage.
"It's a curse, fortunately it's just a copy of that curse, the power of the curse is not that strong, but if you don't take action, I'm afraid you'll be in trouble soon."
Grandpa wanted to speak and stopped, as if he had something on his mind, and then sighed and put the small coffin on the ground, pinched the trick with both hands, and a talisman spontaneously combusted out of thin air, and under the control of grandpa, the talisman hit the coffin directly.
"Bang ......"
Dao fire has a strong restraint for evil things, after the coffin was ignited, there was a series of "crackling" sounds, I was surprised to see that as the flames continued to burn, a strange talisman loomed on the coffin lid.
This talisman is very evil, just looking at it makes me weak and weak, but fortunately, my grandfather's Taoism is strong, and finally completely broke the other party's curse.
"It seems that there are masters in your school, but don't worry, if you really want to cast the curse recorded there, you need to pay a great price, you have to be careful during this time, and you should pick up the things you put down before." Grandpa patted my right hand and looked at me with a meaningful gaze.
Grandpa's words make me puzzled, if the person behind the back really doesn't want me to make a move, then I can't give up the investigation of this matter.
Although I also have a so-called sense of justice, I still can't let me use my life to protect some irrelevant people, and the reason why I studied Taoism is to protect the people around me, as for the issue of protecting the earth, it is a matter for directors and screenwriters.
Grandpa shook his head, and there was a trace of worry between his eyebrows, "I can't escape, although the previous curse was broken by me, but if I guess correctly, maybe the person behind his back this time is not as simple as killing one or two people, but for that thing, and if this is the case, I'm afraid your situation will be very dangerous in the next few days, you have no choice but to enhance your Dao Method, and I think the time to break the curse on your body has also come." ”
After that, my grandfather brought a small iron box from his room, and I still remember this iron box, which contained the magic tools I used to experience with my grandfather.
What puzzled me was that after opening the small tin box, there was actually an antique remnant book inside.
The cover of the book had long been torn, and it had been torn from the middle of the book, leaving only half a fragment.
When I opened the book, it was full of scriptures written in small ancient characters.
"Grandpa, this shouldn't be a martial arts cheat, right?"
I said half-jokingly, but I didn't expect my grandfather to nod seriously and answer me, "Actually, our family was just a very ordinary family a long time ago, and then our ancestors didn't know where to get such a book, which completely changed the fate of our family." ”
I learned from my grandfather that the book was divided into two parts, the first half of which was in my possession, and the second half of the book was a record of various witchcraft curses.
"Cursed? Could it be that the curse that the man used came from this book? ”
Grandpa couldn't tell me these secrets for no reason, there was a reason for the abnormality, and sure enough, after hearing my inquiry, grandpa nodded, "During the Republic of China, there were two very powerful characters in our family, but they had differences in Taoism, which also led to the breakage of this book, if I guessed correctly, the reason why that person put this curse on you should be to test whether you have also learned the content of the "Codex of the Dead", and then want to get the content of the first half from you." ”
Grandpa's speculation sent chills down my spine, but I was still a little confused in my heart.
"Is this really that simple, or is there something else going on? , by the way, grandpa, is this "Codex of the Dead" really so powerful? What kind of characters have been handed down? ”
Grandpa smiled and touched my head, and said, "There are some things that you don't want to know right now, okay, I'll talk to you about it today, and you will come home every week to study the contents of this book." ”
"My grandson called...... My grandson called......"
As soon as my grandfather left, my mobile phone rang, and as soon as I picked up the phone, I heard Wu Yifei's hurried voice.
"Something happened to Hong Tao."
