Chapter 23: Three Corpses Nourish the Soul
I saw that his tone was stern, and he did not dare to speak. However, the Demon Thorn was quietly held in his hand, and his ears listened carefully, if there was anything wrong, just stab him hard.
It was dark and silent. I couldn't hear or see anything but the sound of my own heavy breathing. I don't know if you've ever been locked up in a dark room by yourself, but that's how I felt at the time.
Seriously, if I hadn't known that Zhang Wuren was by my side, I wouldn't have been able to bear it a long time ago.
The silence lasted for about ten minutes, and I felt that the temperature in the basement was gradually decreasing. But strangely, the surroundings are getting colder and colder, and the Demon Thorn is getting warmer and warmer. I immediately understood that this was yin!
That little boy is in the basement!
I don't know what Lao Zhang is doing here, and a cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead. In the trust of Lao Zhang, I didn't act rashly, but stood there and kept thinking, if this dead child wants to kill us, how can we escape?
The old stick said, this dead boy can really drink human blood, and I think the quality of our blood is higher, but I don't know if he can drink it.
The temperature around me was getting lower and lower, and I was thinking that freezing like this was not a solution, when Zhang Wuren suddenly said, this is the third time you have done it. If you don't accept it again, I can only accept you and put you in the Berlin Zen Temple to suppress it.
I was shocked, could it be that when the yin qi was full of yin just now, Lao Zhang had already fought with this dead child? But why can't I feel anything?
It's strange to say, after Zhang Wuyi said this, the cold aura around him immediately disappeared without a trace. Immediately after that, a beam of light suddenly lit up, but it was Zhang Wuren who turned on the soul flashlight.
The filters of the Soul Flashlight are special and can be adjusted as needed, and the runes after adjustment are different, even the light is different. This time, the light was yellow, very warm, and the runes emitted were very strange, and I didn't recognize them.
But by this light, I saw the coffin in the basement covered with runes.
The lid of the coffin had been opened, and I leaned over to see the body of a lying little boy. The corpse is not known to have been treated with, and it is lifelike and does not look like a dead person at all.
The main thing is that the child is open-eyed.
It's really infiltrating to find such a dead child in the dark basement. But Zhang Wuren sighed and said that he had done evil!
I asked him what the hell was going on? Zhang Wuren waved his hand and said, go out and talk about it. Then he closed the lid of the coffin, and I carried the coffin and walked out.
After leaving the basement, the sunset outside just shone on, and the sun was warm on my body. Zhang Wuren wrapped the coffin around with a red rope, then covered it with clothes, avoided the sun, and put it in the car.
The old stick and Ji Lao next to him watched us take out the coffin with blank eyes, the expressions on their faces were colorful, but they didn't say a word.
By the time all this was done, it was almost evening. Zhang Wuren took out 200 yuan and threw it to Ji Laosan, asking him to go out to buy a few vegetables and order beer, and then asked me, this kid is the person Ji Laosan said?
I said yes, but he was also a victim, and the culprit didn't know where to go.
So I told Zhang Wuren what the old stick told me.
Zhang Wuren pondered for a moment and said, do you still have money on you?
I don't know what Zhang Wuren is asking me for money at this time, but the thousands of dollars I exchanged in the casino just now haven't been lost, and I took them all out at the moment.
Then I saw Zhang Wuren give the remaining more than 3,000 yuan to the old stick, and said, let's go, take this money to eat, drink, and don't think about anything.
I'm a little angry, that's my money! Three thousand dollars is not a small amount, but it is enough for me to buy a new mobile phone.
The old stick's gambling stick is not polite, he can't see the money at all, and when he sees Zhang Wuren giving it to him, he doesn't even ask what the reason is, and he reaches out to take it. After taking it, he put it in his arms and said, this is for me?
Zhang Wuyan waved his hand impatiently and said, for you, get out of here.
Don't look at the old stick's life now, it can be seen that the money is closer than seeing his father, and he will run away without waiting for Ji Laosan to come back. I looked at his body like a big spider and said, Lao Zhang, I'm not distressed about those thousands of dollars, the key is that you have to tell me what the situation is.
Zhang Wuren said that the old stick can't live for more than a month, give him some money, let him be happy, and it can be regarded as accumulating some virtue.
I was shocked, looked at the coffin in the car, and then remembered the wound on the old stick's neck, as if I understood something.
Lao Zhang is right, his three souls and seven souls were sucked by this little boy, although he did not lose his soul, but he was so weak that he couldn't be weaker anymore. You must know that people live because they have three souls and seven spirits, and the soul is unstable, and no matter how good the body is, it is useless.
What's more, his blood was swallowed a lot by this dead child, and his body was ruined when he was so thin that he really didn't have a few days to live.
I said it doesn't matter if the money is given to him, but Lao Zhang, what the hell is going on with this dead child?
Zhang Wuren said, I was about to tell you this, have you heard of the three corpses raising souls?
I shook my head and said I didn't know, so Zhang Wuren explained it to me.
The so-called three corpses nourish the soul, as the name suggests, is to use the corpses of three people to nourish the soul of one person. This little boy is a soul that has been raised, and the old stick, Ji Laosan, is two of the three corpses.
Lao Gang is basically dead, so it belongs to one of the corpses, and if we don't intervene, Ji Laosan will also be the second corpse. And after the dead child uses up Ji Laosan, he will also ask Ji Laosan to find the third corpse. It is said that when the souls of the three corpses are absorbed by the dead child, his soul will undergo a qualitative change.
What has changed, Zhang Wuren himself can't say. But according to what he said, it will be more powerful than the corpse clothes anyway. When the time comes, the two of us will definitely not be opponents. However, because of this little boy's crippled soul, he doesn't want to be reincarnated again in this life.
Five-year-old children, in fact, are the most mother-loving times, don't look at people dead, but Zhang Wuren used the temptation of reincarnation to make the dead child change his mind. It's just that people are not stupid when they die, and they want to see if Lao Zhang has the ability to let him be reincarnated, so he tried it in the basement of Ji Laosan's house.
When I went to look for Lao Zhang, it was the critical time for the two sides to compete, so Lao Zhang didn't let me speak. But in the end, Lao Zhang is a step ahead, so that this dead child is convinced, and he will no longer be troubled.
But I'm still a little unconvinced, and said, you often tell me that the way of heaven is very fair, but this time the old stick was killed by this little guy, right? I don't believe that this dead child has harmed people, and he can still be reincarnated safely. Although Buddhism has a saying that putting down the butcher's knife and turning back to the shore, what should happen to the people who are killed?
Zhang Wuyi sighed and said, how can it be so simple to reincarnate. This dead child can be regarded as a mistake, and the eighteenth layer of hell will definitely have to be passed several times. But even so, it's better than having a soul fly away at the end.
I sighed softly. It seems that people really can't do anything bad while they are alive. Good is rewarded for good, and evil is rewarded for evil, which is really not just talking. But the culprit is the unknown man, the little boy is the one he killed, and the old stick is also the one he found. This is the one who really deserves to go to hell.
We talked a little bit about it, but we didn't know who the man was. However, it is certainly not easy for people who know how to nourish souls with three corpses. Especially his gamble of winning ten in a row, if he really didn't get out of the old thousand, then his luck was amazing!
It just so happened that Ji Laosan came back from shopping at this time, so he asked if there was really such a lucky person? Winning ten in a row, 100 yuan instantly turned into 100,000, and this matter is almost a legend in the Jinju area.
Zhang Wuren said, in fact, there are such people. You must know that people are not the same according to the time and day of birth, and their fortunes are also different. In ancient times, Yuan Tiangang invented the bone fortune telling, which can accurately calculate people's fortunes.
However, the real bone fortune-telling has long been lost, and what has been handed down to the present is only sorted out by later generations, and there is not much credibility anymore.
We had a big meal here, and that night, we found a place with good feng shui and buried the little boy. For this reason, Zhang Wuren also made a special cameo appearance as a monk, anyway, he often runs in the Berlin Zen Temple, and he is still familiar with such things as overstaying souls.
After this incident was over, Ji Laosan didn't dare to gamble anymore, so he stopped for a while. A month later, I asked someone to inquire about the old stick, only to be told that he had never been found again.
At that time, I thought, did this old gambler, who had no relatives and no friends, die somewhere quietly? I don't know if he burned paper for him after he died.
It was actually quite disturbing during that time, maybe I was confused by the misery of the old stick. For this reason, Zhang Wuren also said that he wanted to go out for a trip or something. He also said that he would reimburse me.
As the saying goes, if you have a advantage, you don't take advantage of it, you are a bastard, I immediately told Zhang Wuren that I want to go to Yantai, Shandong to see the sea. As a result, Zhang Wuren agreed, saying, if you go to Shandong, visit the Tie family by the way. Shandong is their territory, and they can be familiar with something in the future.
As soon as he said this, I remembered the stunned iron pillar at the beginning, and I don't know if this stupid boy has a heart now.
I made a fuss and asked Zhang Wuren to give me some money in advance, and last time I gave my 3,000 yuan to Lao Stick, but I haven't been reimbursed yet. But at this time, Zhang Wuyan's phone rang again, he went to answer the phone, and said to me with a bitter face, come on, your vacation is postponed, you have a good job.
Zhang Wuren said that the good job is actually the kind of work made by rich people. This kind of person is stupid, and most of the means of accumulating wealth are not glorious, so he is afraid of the east and the west, and he thinks that he is asking for his life if there is a slight disturbance.
Generally, when we encounter such a thing, we will slaughter it fiercely.
As soon as I heard this, I immediately put my vacation aside. Just kidding, it's a real bastard to have money but not to make it, especially this kind of people's money.
However, Zhang Wuren told me again that although the other party's offer was very high, the matter was really not simple, because the other party said that four Taoist priests who had died in their family had died.
