Chapter 12: What is the origin of the male corpse?
Before I could finish speaking, my grandfather nodded and said that in addition to the sarcophagus, I could also unlock the seal on the man's body, but no longer with blood.
Once the seal of the male corpse is completely unsealed, the soul can be separated from the corpse.
I turned pale and asked my grandfather why I was able to break the seal.
Grandpa was silent, I was anxious, "You tell me, I'll be on guard." ā
"Ah Ling, what do you want to do?" My grandfather asked me rhetorically.
"Iā" I choked, my eyes red again.
"Ah Ling, don't worry, grandpa will find a way." Grandpa couldn't bear it.
I lowered my head sadly, "Grandpa, I'm really scared." ā
My grandfather said that the male corpse was restricted by the seal, and even if he left the sarcophagus, as soon as it was dark, he would have to go back to the sarcophagus and lie down.
Tomorrow, when he is at his heaviest, he will go to seal the sarcophagus again.
"Where did he come from?" I asked.
"Ah Ling, if you want to say that I don't know, do you believe it?" Grandpa smiled wryly.
I bit my lip and said, "If you don't believe it, if you don't know, why do you lie to people that it's an ancestral grave?" ā
"Grandpa didn't lie to you, it had to start from fifty years ago..............."
Fifty years ago, someone in Nangou Village offended the python that had cultivated into a demon immortal, causing the village to almost be wiped out.
It just so happened that my grandfather, who was wandering alone, passed by and helped settle the matter.
In addition to the python, my grandfather found an ancient corpse sealed on the mountain behind the village.
The age of the ancient corpse is unknown, and it was sealed with an ancient forbidden technique.
My grandfather was very interested in the forbidden arts, and in order to study the forbidden arts, he borrowed them to live in a family in the village.
There is only one father and daughter in the family, my grandmother and great-grandfather.
Unexpectedly, my grandfather and grandmother saw each other, and he opened a household in Nangou Village for his grandmother.
In order to prevent someone from breaking the seal of the ancient corpse, my grandfather called it my family's ancestral grave.
As for my grandfather, an outsider, why could the ancestral tomb be in the village, why did he block the mouths of the villagers, he didn't say it explicitly.
I was stunned when I heard it, my grandfather had never mentioned these things before.
Not only me, I believe many people think that my family is an authentic Nangou villager.
I couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, where are you?" Why are you wandering around? ā
My grandfather wouldn't say, so I had to ask something else, "Didn't you do a funeral?" ā
"It's not." Grandpa said, glancing at the peachwood stick that was set aside.
I asked my grandfather many times why he used a peachwood stick instead of a peachwood sword, and he never said more.
Later, I learned about the different identities represented by the peachwood sword and the peachwood stick.
And now I'm full of doubts, "Grandpa, what are you doing?" It's been decades, have you ever figured out what the forbidden art is? ā
Grandpa skipped the previous question and said ashamedly: "Grandpa didn't study anything."
I wanted to ask something, but my grandfather urged, "It's almost dawn, go to bed." ā
After tossing for so long, I was so sleepy and tired that I had to go upstairs to sleep.
The next day, I woke up late at night, and my grandfather had already gone out.
I made lunch and waited a long time for my grandfather to come back from outside.
Seeing my grandfather's solemn expression, I asked urgently, "Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" ā
My grandfather asked me to pour him a glass of water before saying, "The murderer has been found." ā
"Who is it?" I'm curious.
My grandfather said it was Wang Lao Wu, and I was a little incredulous, "How could it be him?" ā
Wang Lao Wu is a widower with a dead mother-in-law in the town, a well-known honest man, and he can't imagine that he is actually the murderer of the red-robed earth ghosts.
According to his neighbor, he suddenly went crazy and shouted about the murder he had committed.
It turned out that Wang Lao Wu had killed many women, not only the red-robed earth ghosts.
He died violently after shouting, and his death was so tragic that his neighbors were so frightened that he quickly called the police.
Grandpa didn't say it, I also knew that it must be the red-robed earth ghost who was doing it.
As soon as I was about to ask if the red-robed earth ghost had been transformed, my grandfather said with a gloomy face, "When I came back, I encountered a tricky matter. ā
