Double Seven Grave Fork Chapter 67 The Taboo of the Black Cat
I looked at the wooden arrow with the rune paper, pulled it out of Chen Tiancheng's body, and then looked at Yuan Lei. She also looked at me with a blank face, obviously not knowing what was going on.
I looked around, and there was no one around. And according to the direction that the arrow shot just now, it should be where the spirit shed is. But when I looked at it, only the wind was blowing and the spirit shed was swaying, and I couldn't see any human figure there.
"Looks like someone helped us." Yuan Lei also looked at the yellow rune arrow in my hand. I nodded approvingly, but I didn't know who this person was secretly helping us.
It stands to reason that this kind of arrow requires a bow to shoot, and it is absolutely impossible for someone to throw it directly with their hands. I'm afraid that even an athlete who throws a shot put can't throw a wooden arrow, and he can accurately shoot Chen Tiancheng.
Coupled with this strength, I'm afraid people can't do it, and there is still the influence of the wind tonight. In fact, it may also be a bow and crossbow, but in this case, if you use a bow and crossbow, the force will directly pierce Chen Tiancheng's body, instead of the arrow directly inserting it into his body.
Judging from this, this should be a person who can use bows and arrows, and he has been using bows and arrows for a long time. But the rune paper on this arrow is indeed strange, although I can't understand what is written on the yellow rune paper.
Yuan Lei and I worked together to carry Chen Tiancheng's body into the coffin, and this time he was completely dead and would not get up again.
"Meow~"
Just as Chen Tiancheng's body was put into the coffin, a black cat suddenly jumped out of the coffin and ran out.
This time, I was taken aback. After seeing clearly that it was a cat, I changed my mind, and I thought that Chen Tiancheng was going to get up again.
"I see."
After putting Chen Tiancheng away, I put the lid of the coffin back on. Then he sat on the grassy ground, but heard Yuan Lei, who was standing aside, say.
"What?" I asked, dressed roughly.
Yuan Lei explained: "The black cat is a spiritual animal, so the place where the mortuary is generally rested is the most taboo for cats or dogs. If the black cat runs on the corpse, it will cause the corpse to cheat. If there is a dog, then on the night of resurrection, the soul will be afraid of the dog and leave, and will not be able to return the soul. ”
Hearing Yuan Lei's explanation, I suddenly realized. I also suddenly remembered that I had really heard about similar incidents before.
Legend has it that in one place, there was a family living in a relatively remote area. The hostess of this house is especially fond of cats. Her wife left early, and in order not to be lonely, she kept some cats at home as a pastime to relieve boredom.
And her children are also working outside the home and will not come back once in a long time. But suddenly one day, the hostess died, and when the children rushed back, they found that the corpse was already cold.
What's going on? I can only quickly inform my relatives and other people. Then buy the things you need and prepare for the funeral.
That is, the night before the funeral, the body of the hostess was placed in the house, and the door of the house was left open, just to welcome the night of the first seven souls. Let her see the child for the last time, but the dog outside the door blocked her from entering, so she didn't see the child.
Not only that, but the cats she had also seemed to know that she was dead. They all came to the coffin one by one, and all of them came to the coffin and lay on the hostess's body.
It was the middle of the night, and the people who accompanied the spirits were already asleep. But there was a commotion in the coffin, and the hostess actually opened her eyes, and when she opened her eyes, she directly grabbed the cat on her body and bit it into her mouth. The blood flowed out and fell on her body.
This time it brought a lot of movement, so that the kittens who were originally lying in the coffin, quietly and warmly with the hostess, were frightened. Only one black cat, unmoved, still squinting at the cat's eyes, watching the hostess drink the blood of her own kind.
After hearing the movement, the family immediately went to the coffin to check the situation. After knowing that it was a fraudulent corpse, they all ran out, and in the end, they could only invite a Taoist priest, which subdued the hostess of the fraudulent corpse.
And it was at the suggestion of the Taoist priest that the family cremated the hostess. Although her children were a little reluctant, in the end, in order to be able to let their mother go completely, they could only do it. After being cremated and buried, the next day, the only black cat in the group was found dead in the courtyard.
When the Taoist priest learned about this, he said, "This cat can be psychic, and it only wants to fulfill your mother's wish, but it does the opposite. But as soon as it was daybreak, your mother was gone, and the cat went with her. ”
Speaking of which, this arrow may also be the help of a profound Taoist priest who killed Chen Tiancheng.
"Let's go! Let's get out of here! "I took Yuan Lei's hand and planned to leave here. It's a mess here now, and if anyone sees that it's us again, I'm afraid they'll call the police and arrest me and Yuan Lei as thieves.
But Yuan Lei didn't move, I looked at her, and there was some sadness on her face. It seems that Chen Tiancheng was killed, and his face has always been unhappy.
So I asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Do you find it strange?" Yuan Lei looked at me and said.
After thinking about it, I smiled and said, "It's really strange that someone who doesn't know whether he knows or not has come back to help us." ”
"No, it's not." Yuan Lei shook her head.
I still don't understand what she means.
I heard her continue: "What if this arrow is also going to kill me? ”
"What?" I was a little surprised. That shouldn't be possible, right? Although Chen Tiancheng was pressing Yuan Lei at that time, it shouldn't be like he was going to kill her!
"The wind is not light tonight, that person wants to shoot Chen Tiancheng, at such a close distance, he still needs to aim for a while. Maybe when you were fighting with Chen Tiancheng, that person was already looking for an opportunity to shoot arrows. But because I was afraid of hurting you by mistake, I didn't shoot an arrow for a long time. Right? ”
I nodded. She continued.
"But if it's already there, it's already a little suspicious not to show up. In addition, after you were knocked aside by Chen Tiancheng, that person pressed me under you, and that person only released the arrow at this time, which can show that that person wanted to get rid of me together. ”
I was surprised that I couldn't speak, to say that the girl was really thoughtful, and if she hadn't said it, I really wouldn't have thought of these things. It seems that the person who secretly helped me helped me, but he also wanted to kill Yuan Lei.
"Did anyone see that you were a ghost?" I deliberately kept the last "ghost" sound low so that only the two of us could hear it.
"It should be, let's go! That person should have gone. Yuan Lei said and pulled me out of here.
