Chapter Twenty-Eight: Spell to Find the Body
When I came to the compound of the funeral home, I saw several cars parked in the courtyard, and at least a dozen people were standing, both men and women. The 'fat white man' we saw during the day, because he was the largest, I saw him at a glance, standing on the periphery of the crowd with a cigarette in his mouth, squinting his eyes, taking one puff after another, and smoking it very leisurely.
"Xin, you wait here, I'll go over and take a look."
"Hmm..."
The men were chattering so loudly that no one noticed me, and through the gap in the crowd, I came to the middle of the crowd, where I saw the director and the two funeral home staff, standing there.
"Let's go back first, I've already reported to the curator, and we'll figure it out as soon as possible..."The director said with a blushing face and a thick neck.
"Now it's time to figure it out as soon as possible," a woman spittled at the star, "how did you make it up at first, huh?" How do you make up a lie? ”
"I..."
"What's wrong?" I gently touched the director and asked in a low voice.
The director turned his head sideways, looked at me, and suddenly jumped up, startling me.
"Oh my God!"
Before I could come to my senses, the director grabbed my hand.
"Dry... Why? I asked, curling my neck.
The director didn't answer, turned his head to the men and women, and said in an excited pitch-changing voice, "Just... It's him, it's him! He can prove that I'm not lying! …”
They all looked at me.
I took a deep breath and said to the director, "Don't get excited, say slowly, what's going on?" ”
"That's... The corpse, the corpse..."
"What happened to the body?"
"It's gone!"
"Gone?" I frowned.
"Yes, after the furnace is repaired, we plan to cremate, and when we lift the lid of the paper coffin, we see that the body is gone!"
"You," I thought for a moment, and asked, "Did you leave the incineration workshop in the middle?" ”
"Yes, yes, after the furnace repairer came, I went to the office to find the drawings to show him, and there was no one in the workshop at that time... Oh my God, the corpse can really move, I told them that the corpse ran away on its own, and they wouldn't believe it! …”
A thin man interrupted him, "It's changed again, look, it's changed again, and it says that the corpse ran away by itself." ”
"It's just," said the other man, "I say, do you have any sense of responsibility?" ”
Everyone started shouting again.
"Brother, please help me explain..."
"Whether the corpse ran on its own, I don't know now."
"How do you..."
I ignored him, stood on tiptoe, and shouted towards the outside of the crowd, "Yuxin..."
"Huh?"
"Go to the car and help me get the bag with the magic weapon."
"Oh..."
After the bag was taken, I looked around at everyone and said, "Everyone, be quiet, how the body is missing, I'll take a look and see if I can find out." ”
"Hey, it's still divination, you think you're a god descending to earth..."
"It's just..."
"Let him test..."The 'white fat man' suddenly spoke, flicked the cigarette butt with his hand, and flew into the distance with a red spark in a parabola, "Brother and sister-in-law, sister and brother-in-law, let him test, let him act, see what tricks he can perform..."
The people were silent.
"What time did you find out that the body was missing?" I asked.
"Probably," the director thought for a moment, "it's eleven o'clock in the morning..."
"Hmm..."
I took out my phone and looked at the calendar, pinching my fingers to calculate the dry branches. I took out the things I used to start the game, and 'crackled' a game. Even if a dead body moves, it is a dead thing, not a living person. Therefore, using the method of finding things in Qimen, Shigan 'Xin' represents the dead body, falling into the 'Kun' Palace, the outer plate is empty, and the Kerigan Falling Palace 'Kan' Palace is difficult to find. In addition, there are 'Teng Snakes' in Kun Palace, as well as 'Stagecoaches', Teng Snake Lord's false alarms are weird, and Stagecoach Owners are moving... According to the overall situation, the corpse did run away on its own...
"The corpse ran away on its own, but where it ran away, I can't tell from the situation..."
Although everyone was stunned just now, when they heard me say this, they came back to their senses and said, "You just pretended to be a ghost like this, and said that you ran away by yourself, who believes it?" Who believes? ”
"We won't believe until you can find out where you are..."
"Do you really want to know where the body is?" My face sank and I asked coldly.
"Of course..."The 'white fat man' on the periphery of the crowd spoke, squinting at me, with a smile on his face, "bluff people like you just did, and then say that the corpse ran away by itself, where did it go, I don't know, it's not because I'm not good at it, but I can't see it from what kind of image... Boy, who are you coaxing with such a low-level means? ”
"It's just..."
"Okay," I glanced at the crowd, "if you want to know where the body is, then I'll try it and see if I can detect it." However, if something happens to you, or if you see something out of the ordinary, it's none of my business..."
When I say this, everyone stops talking, you look at me, I look at you.
The 'white fat man' sneered, and shook his head contemptuously, "Bluffing again, bluffing again... If you have a weak heart, just say it directly, don't do this and that, do you think we all grew up eating dry rice? You're still a little tender..."
"That's right, are you weak-hearted? Just try..."
I smiled, turned my head, and said, "Director." ”
"Huh?" The director stood there until I screamed.
"You haven't dealt with that paper coffin yet, have you?"
"No, of course not, it's still in the incineration workshop."
"Okay, lift it out."
"You two go, carry that coffin out..."
After the paper coffin was lifted, everyone gave way, and I asked the two employees to put it under the lamp in the courtyard. Squatting down, I reached in, touched the inner wall of the coffin gently, put it next to my nose and smelled it, there was a faint fishy smell.
I clapped my hands, stood up, took out a handful of incense and lit it, and handed it to one of the staff, "You go to the backyard and bow three times at the door of each morgue, and then stick three sticks of incense on the ground, so as not to disturb 'them' by casting a spell later..."
The employee took the incense and left.
"As for you," I said to another employee, "fetch me a basin of water..."
After the water came, I poured it into the paper coffin. Although this coffin is made of paper, it does not absorb water, and it has a good airtightness. After pouring the water, I took out the seven-star sword, the blade of the sword was lightly scraped against the inner wall of the paper coffin, stirred a few times, and I put the sword away.
At this time, the employee who had gone to the incense planting and worshipping came back. I instructed the staff to carefully lift the paper coffin and pour the water back into the basin. Sweeping towards everyone, my eyes fell on a woman who seemed to be kinder than the others.
"Eldest sister, I want to ask you something." I whispered.
"You say." The woman looked a little nervous and wary.
"Are you the daughter of this old man who died?"
"yes, what's wrong?"
"Very well, tell me his name and date of birth..."
The woman hesitated for a moment, then thought about it and told me. The old man who died was surnamed Liu.
I took out a four-sided rune, and I wrote the old man's name and birth date on the back with a cinnabar pen. Squatting in front of the basin, I pointed to the talisman and recited the words, and after a moment, I drank it suddenly, and the talisman ignited. As soon as I threw it into the water, I pinched the finger of my sword in my right hand, inserted it into the water and stirred it a few times, picked up the basin, and walked towards the old white building. All the people were silent and followed me.
When I came to the wall of the building, standing against the wall, I said, "Get out of the way!" ”
With a loud shout, he splashed the water in the basin along the wall of the building, and Mercury splashed in all directions. After splashing, I threw the basin casually, pulled out the seven-star sword, and walked to a place about three meters away from the building wall. As I stepped on, I paused suddenly, swung my sword and pointed at the wall... I felt my eyes sparkle, and where the wall of the building was splashed with water, there was a wavy shaking...
After about ten seconds, an image slowly appeared on the wall of the building... The image was very blurry, and countless things like TV snowflakes flashed in it...
I took two steps back, and when I looked closely, I saw that what appeared in this image was like a room, the interior of the room. There are newspapers on the walls, as well as New Year's pictures of 'fish every year'. At the bottom of the painting that year, it looks like a writing desk, with a lamp standing on the table, and a teacup next to the lamp, but there is nothing else, and no one is seen...
The image shook for about two minutes, and then disappeared little by little, and the walls returned to their original shape. I turned around and saw bloodless faces. The 'white fat man' had a few quirks of the lips, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't say a word.
"Do you know where this house is?" I pointed to the wall and asked faintly.
"It's... It's my dad's place! "The woman who gave me my birthday earlier shouted.
"Oh?"
I said to myself, "Look at it this way, and the dead old man ran out of the funeral parlor and went back to his residence?" …
"Do you believe me now?" I asked.
No one spoke.
"Very good, let's go, take me to your father's residence, Yuxin, let's go..."
The old man's residence was quite far from the funeral home, and we followed the old man's children's car to a very secluded family home. I don't know how many years this family home is, the house is a very old tube building, the walls are white, full of cracks, and there are many creepers and other vines... I said in my heart, this old man is really thrifty, he won the jackpot, and he has been living in such a place...
There is a parking shed in the yard in front of the building, and two motorcycles and a few bicycles are parked underneath. The old man's sons and daughters stood at the door of the family courtyard, one by one hesitating, and none of them stepped in.
"What, even your dad is afraid?" I sneered.
All bowed their heads.
"Forget it, Yuxin, let's go in. Tell me which house your dad lives in.
"Two... On the second floor, the first house on the right hand side of the staircase...", said the 'white fat man'.
