Chapter 14: What Happened Back in the Year
Although I couldn't see the ghost, I knew that it was sticking to my body. After Liang Ji finished drawing five talismans, he looked up and looked a little strange: "Why can't this yin ghost get on your body?" ”
"Didn't you say that using white salt can ward off evil spirits, my whole body is full of salt particles." I say. At this time, my face was full of white salt, and my image was very embarrassing.
Only then did I react and said angrily: "Did you hold back your bad morning and want me to be a substitute for the dead?" ”
Liang Jiwu blinked quickly: "Don't get me wrong. The upper body of the Yin Soul is not so easy, you are a young man, Yang Huo is prosperous, it is very difficult even if it is barely on it. You see, now it can't deal with you, it can only hang on you. If the Yin and the corpse are one, the consequences can be even worse than your body. ”
"Then you hurry up and get it away, what's the matter with this all the time?" Although it is said that the yin soul can't get on the body, it hangs on the body, and it is cold and cold, which is unbearable.
Liang held back his concentration, used the tip of the blood-stained brush to nod on the back of the corpse's forehead, and then said sharply: "Liu Yang, take off the black cloth." ”
I quickly ripped off the strip of black cloth wrapped in the charm from my wrist. Immediately, I could clearly feel the gloomy spirit leaving me. The temperature rises and the whole body is relieved.
Looking in the mirror on the wall, I saw the ghost gradually drifting away, running towards the open window. Liang Shuwu stood up and said, "You are guarding here, and I will follow the bardo body." ”
As he spoke, he kicked the ground like a cunning rabbit, and the cat rushed over with his waist bent. The curtains rose without wind and fluttered suddenly, and in the white moonlight, something could be seen flying out of the window. At this moment, Liang Jiwu also followed to the window, and jumped around, like a vigorous raccoon, his body was parallel to the ground, forming a smooth straight line, and he also drilled out of the window.
I'm stupid, this kid's ability is comparable to the world's world-level parkour master. As soon as he got out of the cure, I woke up, **, we are on the top floor, wouldn't he fall to death if he flew out of the calamity. I hurriedly ran over, my heart was pounding, even if Liang was powerful, he couldn't violate the laws of physics, seven or eight floors, even if he fell down, he had to drink a pot even if he fell down, not to mention that he was such a big living person.
When I came to the window, I was shocked by the sudden appearance in front of me. I saw that the moon was hanging high outside, as bright as a silver plate, and under the miserable white moonlight, the ghost shadow actually appeared in mid-air, and it was impossible to describe the specific image, it was a slightly human-shaped black smoke.
The cloud of ghost smoke suddenly evaporated in the air, and the smoke gradually dissipated, like a ball of flour exploding in the air. And Liang Zhuwu flew in mid-air, so high in the air, he shaved his hands and feet, as if he was swimming there. One of his hands barely touched the corner of the dissipated ghostly smoke, and he saw the smoke disappear between his fingers.
He froze in the air for a second, and then began to fall with a "boom", and the whole person quickly smashed to the ground.
My heart was beating to a stop as I watched such a big living person fall straight to the ground.
Because of the angle, I could only see the two or three floors below when I leaned on the window. Liang Zhuwu fell extremely fast, and soon fell below the second floor, and was no longer visible.
I couldn't see it, but I imagined that this person must have slammed into the ground. I was waiting for the "pop" sound when the human body made contact with the ground, but after waiting for a long time, I still didn't hear the sound. For a moment, I was a little confused, feeling that what I had just seen was just a bubble illusion, and everything was my own imagination.
I was stunned when the door lock rang, and I saw Liang enter the house panting. He turned on the light in the living room, and the whole person seemed to have been fished out of the water, sweating profusely, picking up the sofa cushion casually, and wiping the sweat on his body.
"You're not dead, are you?" I said.
Liang Weiwu glared at me: "It's not so easy to let my old man die, how many people were worried about my life back then." At this, he sighed, waved his hand, and said no more.
I wondered, "How do you talk old-fashioned?" Let me ask you a question, how do you know so many spells? What's going on with the cold white smoke on the ground? ”
Liang sat on the sofa and smacked his lips and said, "That's a long story." The cold air and white smoke are small spells to suppress corpses, not unpopular, and those with a little common sense of Taoism will do it. I'll pick a good time to tell the story if I want to hear it, and there is still work to be done. ”
"What just happened? After you flew out, why was the ghost gone? I asked
Liang sighed: "Tong San is really poisonous. He sensed that something was going to be revealed, and someone was going to track the ghost, so he ...... dispersed Xu Jianan's bardo body, disappeared in ashes, and was not allowed to be born. ”
I swallowed, feeling a little creepy. I asked him what else he was going to do?
Liang choked five words: "Now let's send the body back to the funeral home." ”
I was dumbfounded: "Send back? Do you want to throw yourself into the net? ”
"Then tell me, what to do with such a large corpse? You want to break the corpse yourself, I don't want to break the law. Liang said angrily.
I didn't have a recruit, so he said he would send it.
Liang held back and said: "Not only must we send it back, but we must also burn the corpse in front of everyone, only in this way can the funeral home get rid of its responsibility and let these evil people break their minds." This corpse is too evil, and it is a scourge to stay, and it must be dealt with as soon as possible. ”
He took a breath, beckoned me, and carried Xu Jianan's body out of the house with one foot at a time. Fortunately, it was a big night, and the corridor was empty, and no one passed by. This is to be seen, and there are a hundred mouths that can't explain it.
He and I moved the body out of the hallway and stuffed it into the back compartment like thieves. Liang Jiwu took out a torn cotton jacket from the back seat, wrapped it around his body simply, pulled me, and started the car to go to the funeral home.
On such a cold day, he was wearing a cotton jacket on the outside and a hurdle vest on the inside. The physical fitness is really good.
Sitting in the car, I took out a pack of cigarettes on the platform and smoked one and lit it. The few hours at his house have tormented me, my joints hurt all over my body, and when I close my eyes, I have ghosts and cold corpses in my head.
"Tell me, what's going on with you?" I said smoking a cigarette.
Liang Shuwu drove the car, his eyes stared ahead without blinking, and he said slowly for a long time: "My grandfather used to join the army. ”
I look at him, this thinking jump is too big, why can't he jump out of such a sentence coldly.
Liang said: "Before liberation, he was still a little ghost and worked as a correspondent for an old man. Later," he said after a moment's hesitation, "then he was shot in this county, on this land." ”
I was shocked: "Shot? When did it happen? ”
Liang said five times: "This matter is very long, and I will slowly talk to you about it when I have the opportunity in the future." Now it's good for you to get a little bit of a look. That year, my grandfather was only eighteen years old, and he was designated by the organization as a secret agent hidden inside, and his superiors personally instructed him to be shot on the spot. ”
The more I listened, the more wrong it became: "Your grandfather ...... when he was 18 years old It's gone, is he married? How did you get here? ”
Liang Zhiwu ignored me and continued: "Back then, that army was surrounded and suppressed, and when it arrived in our county, it was stationed to temporarily avoid the enemy's troops. During this time, an incident occurred that led to a purge within the organization, in which a total of thirty-two people, most of them soldiers, were tried and all secretly executed. Thirty-one of the thirty-two people died, and only my grandfather survived. ”
I couldn't blink an eye, it felt like a legend. Now thriller and suspense novels are written like this, grandpa is not *** a strange person, grandson got a book from grandparents because of chance, according to the practice or something, and then become a god, all the way to steal graves and dig graves to subdue demons and monsters, quite bloody.
I subconsciously thought he was.
Liang didn't look at me, and said word by word: "My grandfather survived by luck and has been incognito." He spent his whole life in the bag, and he was very unwilling when he died. My grandfather taught me this skill, and he later ...... Some chances, worship some masters, learn some spells. Because the extremely secret thing that happened back then cannot be explained by modern science, and it is related to Taoism. ”
"What the hell is going on?" I asked.
Liang Jiwu didn't answer me, but said: "I learned about this by chance, but there was no relevant information, so I joined forces with Director Ma of the county party committee, and entered the library with his connection, and began to consult the materials of the year." ”
"Why don't you ask your grandfather?" I question.
Liang Jiwu looked at the night scene outside the car window and coughed: "Although he was in the whirlpool of this incident back then, he still can't figure out what happened in it." The whole thing is weird and secretive, and the relevant people involved are either shot or placed under house arrest, and everything is sealed in the dust of history. ”
"Could it be that Director Ma also knows about this matter?" I asked.
Liang Wuwu nodded: "He and I are investigating this matter together." ”
"Surely this must have done him some good?" I asked.
Liang Jiwu looked at me: "Liu Yang, your kid is quite clever. He turned on the steering wheel and gradually turned into the door of the funeral home: "This matter involves a mysterious force, and this energy is so powerful that it is ......" He suddenly said cautiously, stopped talking, and paused: "Do you know what I am tracking Tong San for?" ”
I touched my chin and wondered, "He's also involved in this?" ”
Liang Weiwu's face was a little ugly: "The reason why Tong San is like this is because I didn't expect it in advance. It can be said that the birth of such a devil has a great deal to do with me, and it is my responsibility to solve him. ”
He stopped the car and we arrived at the funeral home. Liang said this thoughtlessly, no longer talking to me, but took out his mobile phone to make a call. After a short time, I saw a hunchbacked old man walking out of the back door of the funeral home, his waist was not straight, and he walked very slowly. In the dark night, it looked a little terrifying.
The old man approached, and Liang Shouwu beckoned me to get out of the car. When I got closer, I saw that the old man had a wrinkled face, cloudy eyes, and was wearing rustic clothes, and he smelled the rotten smell of wood that could not be described.
Liang said to him: "The body has been sent back, and it must be burned tomorrow morning." ”
"Trouble." The old man only said two words.
"Send the body to the morgue first, and we'll discuss the rest slowly." Liang held back five ways.
The old man coughed, took a bunch of keys from his pocket, and staggered forward. Liang Shuwu opened the rear compartment, carried Xu Jianan's body with me, and followed behind the old man.
"Who is this?" I asked in a low voice.
Liang said five times: "Elder Wang, the head of the funeral home." He's me, my grandfather's best friend. ”
The old king looked back at us and didn't say anything. The three of us came to the morgue, the old Wang Tou opened the door with the key, and a cold air emanated from inside, and Liang Weiwu and I carried the dead body into the freezer.
We left the morgue and went outside to a sheltered place.
"The police have come." The old king said.
"Yes, Chen Ping'an also called me." I said.
Liang asked me what was going on.
I told Chen Ping'an about crying on the phone, afraid of cheating the corpse and seeking revenge on him.
Liang held back and smiled: "The matter of burning the corpse is solved." Lao Wang, you call Chen Ping'an and our Officer Chen at night. I'll teach you how to say it, and make sure you burn your corpse smoothly tomorrow, and no one dares to make trouble. Liu Yang. ”
"Huh?" I didn't expect there to be anything about me here.
Liang Wei said: "When the corpse is burned tomorrow, you must be at the scene." I'll help you take a leave of absence. ”
"For what?"
He said, "I can't show up at the funeral home tomorrow, you help me keep an eye on it." Tong San and the master who controls the corpse are estimated to appear, and the Bull Ghost Snake God Heroes will meet. ”
