28. Ask the corpse
It wasn't until this time that I realized that Mr. Zou had planned for me to come to Mr. Bai's house with him, and the purpose was very simple, that is, to capture Xiao Cheng's body.
I quickly ran into it and didn't dare to have any stay, picked up Xiao Cheng's body and ran, when I picked up Xiao Cheng's body, I only felt that his body was very soft, as if there were no bones, and the whole person was very light, but I didn't care about these at this time, I picked up and ran out, I felt so strong for the first time, back and forth in just a few seconds. Mr. Zou shouted: "Well done!" ”
Then the gentleman mentioned the shocking wood again, this time it seemed to shoot down with all his might, and at the same time shouted: "Seal!" ”
I hadn't come back to my senses because I had just gone through the tense atmosphere, and I hadn't noticed what happened to Mr. Zou's last move. Anyway, I heard Mr. Zou say, "Let's get out of here quickly, and when the spirit returns, we will come to chase the corpse." ”
With that, he took off his coat, wrapped Xiao Cheng up, and then hugged himself, and we trotted all the way out of Mr. Bai's house and returned home. When I arrived at the door of the house, Mr. Zou handed Xiao Cheng's body to me, and then asked me to carry it in the place where the paper figure was nailed, and I saw him take out three sticks of incense, insert the talisman paper and nail it to the ground, and then take out the rice prepared in advance from his pocket and sprinkle it at the gate. Finally, he closed the courtyard door and sealed it with rune paper, and he did not walk in until he had done it.
My parents saw us rushing back from outside, and I was holding something inexplicable. I came up to ask, but Mr. Zou was too busy to explain to them, so I could only hurriedly say to them: "We went to Mr. Bai's house and snatched Xiao Cheng's body back." ”
I heard my mom exclaim in amazement, as if it was incredible, while Mr. Zou said to my grandmother, "Find some black and white lines, the more the better." ”
My mother and my grandmother hurriedly went to find the black and white thread, and Mr. Zou said to my father, "Yonghuai, you go and fetch three bowls of water, and you need clean water." ”
My dad also went to do it, and after Mr. Zou finished arranging, he said to me, "Wood, you can drag Xiaocheng's body." ”
Mr. Zou has already held the corpse, and has made a pose, I just need to do it, I did according to Mr. Zou's posture of holding the corpse, he took down the paper figure nailed to the corner, and then put the paper figure on the chest of Xiao Cheng's corpse, at this time my grandmother and my mother took the black and white line out, Mr. Zou said, "Give me the white line first." ”
My grandmother gave the white thread to Mr. Zou. Mr. Zou took the thread and first tied the head of the paper man to Xiao Cheng's head, and then read while tying it: "One around, two around, three around the heavenly pass." ”
I saw that he really wrapped around three times and stopped, and dragged the thread ball to the chest part, and also tied Xiao Cheng's body to the paper figure. At this time, I found out a problem, that is, Xiao Cheng and this paper figure are the same height, I happened to hold Xiao Cheng's corpse, and his feet fell to the ground.
When the gentleman was helping their bodies, he said, "Go around the front and go around the back of the heart." A heart before and after. ”
also wrapped around the arm three times, and then dragged the thread ball around the arm, and the arm was wrapped around the shoulder, but this time he didn't say any words, and wrapped both arms, and feet, until the paper man and Xiao Cheng's body were wrapped together, and then a knot was made.
He dragged the rest of the white thread and didn't bite it off, but asked my grandmother, "Black thread." ”
My grandmother handed the black line to my husband. This time, Mr. started to wrap around his feet, just separated and wound, this time he wrapped the paper man and Xiao Cheng's legs together, as if tied up, starting from the ankles, from the time he was circling, Mr. was reading: "One bypasses the earth pass, two bypasses the yin pass, and three rounds the soul and turns back." Four around the heart, five around the Yangguan. ”
Mr. went around very quickly, and when he read the five bypasses to open the Yang Pass, I saw Xiao Cheng's originally closed eyes suddenly "pout" and suddenly opened. It's like coming to life, and at this time the gentleman just finished by. I was startled by his suddenly opened eyes, and I was closest to Xiao Cheng's head, so I felt inexplicably weird. Mr. Zou had already seen it but was not surprised, as expected, and finally tied a knot after winding around, let the black line drag, and then took my hand and said, "It's okay." ”
I let go of the hand holding the corpse of Xiaocheng, Mr. Zou put the body of Xiaocheng and the paper man to the corner of the wall so a stand, I found that the original soft Xiaocheng's body actually stood upright, my father had already broken three bowls of water, Mr. Zou put the three bowls of water in front of Xiaocheng, and then the fragrance started.
He said to us, "Stand outside, don't face the corpse." ”
Then the gentleman pinched the incense and bowed, and took out three pieces of talisman paper. They lit them and threw them into the three bowls of water one by one, reciting something as he threw them, but this time his voice was so small and so fast that I couldn't hear what he was reading, and he didn't stop until the third piece of rune paper was completely burned in the water.
This is the first time I have seen rune paper can be burned in water, and it feels really mysterious, and after burning, Mr. will stick incense on the ground. I dipped my middle finger in the water in the first bowl, and then bounced it on the corpse, and after I bounced it, I heard a strange exhalation sound, as if Xiao Cheng exhaled a breath, and immediately felt that there was an eerie and creepy taste around me.
After this exhalation sounded, Mr. Zou asked, "Be called by me, and obey my will." ”
Then I heard this strange sound like it was coming out of my mouth. Instead, it sounded directly in his ears, and he only heard Xiao Cheng say gloomily: "What do you want to ask?" ”
The gentleman asked, "Who are you?" ”
Xiao Cheng replied in that strange voice: "Bai Jinming." ”
Mr. Zou listened and dipped his middle finger in the second bowl with water, and then flicked it on Xiao Cheng's corpse, Xiao Cheng said strangely again: "What's the problem?" ”
Mr. Zou asked, "Why did you come to pester the people of the Xiao family?" ”
This time I didn't hear Xiao Cheng's voice. Rather, it seems to be a voice composed of several voices, although the voice is back and forth, but it can also be heard as a sentence: "Because of Xiao's tomb." ”
Mr. Zou listened and dipped his middle finger in the third bowl of water, and flicked it on Xiao Cheng's corpse, Xiao Cheng said strangely: "One last question." ”
Mr. Zou asked, "Where is the Xiao family's grave?" ”
Xiao Cheng was silent this time, and when I thought there was no answer, he suddenly said in a strange voice: "Here." ”
This answer was just two words, but it made me feel like I was struck by lightning, and my heart was like a bomb exploded, and I suddenly disliked the stormy waves. Three bowls of water and three questions, Mr. Zou asked and bowed again, and then said: "Congratulations to leave." ”
After that, I saw Xiao Cheng's open eyes suddenly close. That is, when his eyes were closed, he saw that the corpse that was originally standing suddenly fell to the ground as if it had lost its support, and fell down with the paper figure he was helping, and was held by Mr. Zou.
Mr. Zou picked up Xiao Cheng's body and asked me to drag it again, so he asked my grandmother to take scissors, cut off all the threads that were entangled, and then took out the paper figure, handed it to my father, and said, "Burn it quickly." Yes, there is. ”
My dad dared to be lazy, so he immediately took a lighter and lit the paper figure, and then burned it.
But when the paper figure was halfway through the burn, I suddenly heard a small voice that seemed to be coming from the paper figure: "Hehe......"
The sound was terrifying, so I looked at the other people standing next to me and said, "Did you hear that?" ”
My mom and they all looked at me strangely: "What do you hear?" ”
I said, "This paper man was laughing just now." ”
My mom immediately pulled me up and said, "Did you hear something, there was no sound just now?" ”
Just as my mom said this, I suddenly felt my ears "buzzing" and I couldn't hear anything, I only saw my mom's mouth moving, but I didn't hear anything at all when she was talking to me, I felt that there was no sound around me for an instant, and before I could react to what was going on, I felt that my eyes were dark, and I didn't know anything.
