Chapter 512: Sailuban (2)
When a person dies, the soul leaves the body. Even if he wanders around his body, he doesn't completely shrink into his body.
I looked at the body lying on the bed, and felt bursts of ghostly energy emanating from it.
I disappeared and approached him in the form of a ghost.
I feel like something is wrong with this body. So I reached out and put it on his chest, intending to feel the spirit inside.
Unexpectedly, my hand had just been placed on his chest, and suddenly I found this corpse hard. It feels like a wooden board with a layer of skin on it. It doesn't look like it's made of meat at all.
I was wondering, when suddenly the old man opened his eyes.
I was startled and was about to retract my hand. At this moment, the old man's mouth opened suddenly, and a small peachwood sword flew out of it.
Fortunately, I was quick to react and bold to be a master of the arts, so I tilted my head sharply and almost broke my neck, which was avoidable.
The small mahogany sword flew past my ear, rubbing my cheek with blood.
Suddenly, I felt half of my face go numb. My first reaction was that there was poison on this sword. But I didn't expect that I am now in a soul state, and I am poisoned. With my current strength, I was actually overturned by poisonous energy.
I felt the numbness spreading rapidly in my head.
I clung to the bed with my hands, but I didn't fall down. Then he used the yin and yang qi in his body to wrap up the numbness.
Although I hid my figure, the corpse's eyes were wide open, and I spat out the peachwood sword from my mouth, but it really made many people see it. The people here scattered in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye, there was not a single one left.
Wushuang and Paper Zha Wu walked over and helped me take two steps back.
They obviously saw the scene just now.
I pointed to the corpse and said, "Fake, this corpse is fake." ”
Wushuang pulled out the peachwood sword, shook his hand and threw it over, and the peachwood sword pierced the corpse, and with a bang, it seemed to cut something.
The four of us saw that the corpse didn't seem to move, and then we slowly approached.
Wushuang used his peachwood sword to split a gaping hole in the corpse. We saw that except for the outer layer of skin, it was all wooden planks inside.
Inside the plank, there are all kinds of springs, as well as complex parts. I thought about what mechanism I had touched on this person's chest just now, so I let the peachwood sword fly out.
But what I wonder is that there are bumps and bumps along the way, I don't know how many people have touched this wooden man's chest, why are they all okay?
Paper Zawu pointed to a charm on the wooden man's chest: "Maybe you unconsciously released your own power and touched this talisman." ”
Paper Zha Wu took the skin, studied it for a while, and said: "This skin is also fake, either a pig's skin or a dog's skin, but it is dripping with his blood and forging some breath." Hey, we were so careless, we were deceived by such a simple trick. ”
I asked Paper, "What now?" ”
Paper Zawu said; "Go back to the store and look for it."
The three of us hurried out of the crematorium and rushed back to the pedicure shop.
When I was on the road, I was puzzled: "Old man Wu, do you think we are following the soul?" In case this kid changes his body, where do we recognize it? ”
Paper Zha Wu waved his hand: "No, this kind of smart person is generally very arrogant." I think you can't catch me, so I want to keep my body, which can be regarded as a demonstration. ”
I asked, "The last time you saw him was fifty years ago?" ”
Paper Zha Wu nodded: "Almost." ”
I said a little strangely: "It's been fifty years, and this kid hasn't thought about moving?" ”
"He told me back then, and he took root here. Thunder can't move, see what those bad guys can do with him. I don't know how many times the house has been demolished at the store we went to just now. But this old man should have found a way to buy it. Just for the sake of a stubborn temper, you have to stay there. ”
Wushuang said faintly: "It seems that our underworld is still too weak. ”
Paper Zha Wu said with a smile: "It's not that our army is incompetent, it's that the enemy is too cunning." ”
As we speak, we're back at the pedicure shop. Wushuang and I didn't hide a trace, we directly conjured up the flesh, and then pushed the door in.
There was only one woman in the store, and when she saw me and Wushuang coming in, she was slightly stunned, then looked at Wushuang and said, "You are also ...... Washing feet? ”
Wushuang shook his head: "I don't wash my feet, I'll catch people." ”
Then, she slapped the peachwood sword and placed it on the counter.
This hand frightened the woman into a daze.
I thought to myself, this is the so-called salute before the soldier?
The woman wanted to cover it up and said, "Who are you going to catch?" Then she looked panicked: "Are you undercover police or reporters?" We're all doing the right thing. ”
I shook my head helplessly and said, "Let me ask you, did you carry a coffin out of this store just now?" ”
The woman hesitated and nodded: "Yes, my grandfather is dead." ”
I frowned: "Your grandfather?" ”
The woman's expression was wandering: "He was so old, and then he died." When we died, we were sent to the crematorium. Then I heard someone shouting about the corpse, so I ran away. ”
I sighed: "Mingren doesn't say dark words, we have examined the corpse." It's made of wood, it's a dummy at all, let's be honest, what's going on? ”
At this time, the woman's expression had a hint of solemnity: "You two, shouldn't you be from there?" ”
As she spoke, she leaned over and pointed to her feet.
Wushuang nodded: "I'm from the underworld. ”
This frightened the woman enough, and I heard her tremble and say, "You guys, sure enough, are from over there." ”
I heard what was said and asked, "Sure enough?" What does that mean? You already knew we were back? ”
As if she had made up her mind, she said, "Well, I'll be honest. My grandfather was actually a Taoist priest. ”
Wushuang and I looked at each other and nodded. Looks like we've got the right person this time.
The woman said: "My grandfather often said that he wanted to live in the world for a few more years, but he couldn't go to the underworld, so he kept hiding on the second floor, and he rarely saw people. ”
Paper Zha Wu sighed and said softly: "This old man is closed to news, and he probably doesn't know that the curse has been broken." ”
I asked the woman, and you told us, "What happened to the corpse today?" Where is your grandfather now? ”
The woman pulled out the drawer and rummaged through it, saying, "He tinkered with some gadgets on the second floor, which seems to be able to sense you." When the yin qi reaches a certain level, the alarm will be called. Then I carried him to the crematorium with the coffin I had prepared in advance......"
I couldn't help but say, "And then he took the opportunity to escape?" ”
The woman nodded.
Then, she handed me a piece of paper: "Here's the address, the new house he bought." ”
I nodded: "Since we have the address, then let's go." ”
Then the three of us came out of the store and hurried outside.
After running for a while, Wushuang said, "Why do I think something is wrong?" Are we letting people play tricks? ”
I was holding the address to study the direction, and I casually asked, "What do you mean?" How did you get tricked? ”
Wushuang said, "Think about it. Didn't Old Man Wu say it before? This kind of smart person is very arrogant, refuses to throw away his body, and refuses to hide in Tibet, as soon as a few of us come, he will directly buy a house and move? ”
Old man Wu nodded and said, "I also feel that something is wrong. ”
I turned around and ran back to the store, shouting as I ran, "Go back, search." ”
The woman in the shop was startled when she saw us coming back.
I said to Wushuang, "You look at her here, I'll go up and have a look with Paper Zha Wu." ”
Wushuang nodded in agreement. And I ran to the second floor with Paper Zha Wu and began to look for them one by one.
The first floor of this shop is very narrow, but the second floor is spacious. Side by side in a room. What it's doing in there, it goes without saying. And when we looked for it, we found that it was all empty, probably because there was a funeral here today, so those customers left. After all, there are dead people here, and it's a bit unlucky.
