Volume 1: The Rise of the Witch Clouds_Chapter 22: The Tomb is Empty and New
The fourth uncle has been away from home for a long time, and I don't know very well, so I rushed forward to answer, and the villagers were skeptical, and the village chief said, "Go back and see your own grave!" If he really did it, he must not spare this dog's day! ”
However, the villagers also had doubts, that is, how his limbs were broken, and someone asked before he came, Zhao Youzong didn't say anything, and the fourth uncle didn't speak.
When someone asked again, the fourth uncle said casually, "I broke it for him." ”
The villagers felt even more incredible that a man with a broken limb had fled under a bridge a few miles away, and I could feel the awe on the faces of the fourth uncle.
Several families involved were anxious to verify the fourth uncle's statement, and they all ran to their own graveyard to see, Zhao Youzong ignored them, and when the people were almost gone, they suddenly stared at the fourth uncle and said, "You hurt me like this, I will drag you to bury you as a ghost!" ”
The fourth uncle snorted coldly, "As long as you have that ability, just come to me." ”
Zhao Youzong's blood-red eyes stared at the fourth uncle, the fourth uncle was not afraid, but he himself was discouraged first, turned his head over, closed his eyes, and no one was ready to care.
After waiting for a while, someone finally came back to see the cemetery, the first to come back was Maotou, his ears curled even more, his eyes could only look down or down, the whole person was already a little weird, the fourth uncle has been looking for ghost keepers since he came back, and he has not taken care of treating him.
He said that his sister's grave was really picked up, he pointed at Zhao Youzong is scolding, I don't know if it is the relationship between human souls and pig spirits, he is a little slow to speak now, and after a few words, he will turn his head around, which looks very weird.
He scolded for a few words, and suddenly turned to the fourth uncle and said, "That Qian Mazi's grave is not far from my sister's grave, and I see that his grave has also been picked up!" ”
I remember that in Zhao Youzong's cellar, there was no corpse of Qian Mazi at all, and Maotou said that his grave was also picked up, so who did it?
The fourth uncle also took to heart what Mao Tou said, Qian Mazi is a god man, and his physique is already yin, and he is afraid that he will be stolen by Zhao Youzong for other more strange uses. Seeing that most of the people who went to see the grave had not come back, he asked the village chief to watch Zhao Youzong, and withdrew from the crowd with his hair, he wanted to go to see Qian Mazi's grave.
I hurriedly followed, and at first the fourth uncle did not let me, saying that I was bitten by a turtle last night, and it was best to recuperate, I lifted my bitten calf, and there was only a faint tooth mark left on it, which was no longer a big problem, and the fourth uncle no longer stopped it.
Not long after Qian Mazi's grave was newly buried, sure enough, a large amount of unkempt grass covered the grave, and the messy grass was removed, revealing a hole the size of a pot lid.
"Why is there still someone stealing the body? I haven't heard of so many crazy people before, if it weren't for the fourth uncle, you found out Zhao Youzong, who would have known that he stole other people's corpses. ”
Maotou echoed me twice, he should really want to please the fourth uncle and me, and he didn't dare to say dirty words, he really had to ask the fourth uncle to help him for a while, otherwise, I estimate that he will lose his normal consciousness, and his current state is a little scary.
The fourth uncle squatted down, stared at the entrance of the cave for a moment, sniffed it, and suddenly said, "The corpse is indeed no longer in the grave." ”
I hurriedly asked in surprise, "Did Zhao Youzong steal it, and Qian Mazi's body and other corpses were not put together?" ”
The fourth uncle shook his head and stood up, "The body was not stolen, but he walked out on his own." ”
His words startled me and Maotou, and thinking of Su Cunliang's matter, I said in a trembling voice, "You said that Qian Mazi cheated the corpse?" ”
The fourth uncle shook his head, "Judging from the damage at the entrance of the cave, it is large inside and small outside, and it is very clear that the people in the tomb took it out themselves, and in order to prevent others from discovering it, they blocked the entrance of the cave with grass." ”
I was shocked, "You mean Qian Mazi is not dead?" But I saw him die with my own eyes? ”
The fourth uncle walked around the tomb and said in a flat tone, "What you see with your eyes can sometimes be deceiving, it turns out that the owner of the smell of paint has been hiding here." ”
I was puzzled, and Maotou's eyes widened even more and said, "How is it possible, he has been buried for several days!" ”
I thought about it for a while, Qian Mazi's coffin was new, and before being buried, in order to prevent insect damage, the inside and outside were painted, and only he would have the smell of paint, and in terms of smell, the fourth uncle's inference was right.
But more doubts surfaced, if the owner of the mysterious paint smell was Qian Mazi, then why did he harm his grandmother, why did he save Zhao Youzong, why did he harm the people in the village, why did he hide it for so many years, and more importantly, why did he pretend to be dead?
Why do so many things keep colliding in my heart, but I can't figure out anything, when I asked the fourth uncle, the fourth uncle snorted, "As long as he is alive, he will definitely have movements, he can't escape." ”
After finishing speaking, the fourth uncle took the lead in turning around and left, me and Maotou followed, after seeing the grave, Maotou's fear and doubts increased, and he believed that he was now a human soul and a pig, and he would lose his consciousness at any time, so he grabbed the front of the fourth uncle, knelt down and kowtowed, "Daochang Su, you have to save me, I wake up in the morning now with stiff limbs and don't obey the call, sooner or later I have to collapse on the bed, I haven't married a daughter-in-law yet!" ”
Maotou may have been really frightened, and his head was pounding on the ground, and he didn't dare to stop.
The fourth uncle pulled up the hair head with one hand, stared at the hair head for a while, touched his forehead, and then took the hair head hand and looked at it, and then said, "Actually, there is no way for you to do this situation." ”
Seeing that Mao Tou was listening with round eyes, the fourth uncle said again, "But you met me, if there is anyone in the world who can save you, it is me, are you willing to be a Taoist priest?" ”
Maotou was stunned for a moment, and then his head kept pointing like a chicken pecking rice, as long as he could save his life, what if he was a Taoist priest.
The fourth uncle showed a smile on his face, and then said, "Your roots and bones are okay, only by becoming a Taoist priest and cultivating with the Taoist mind can it be possible to make the muscles and bones in your body strong, echoing the Zhou Tian Hundred Acupoints, and re-condensing the Seven Spirits." ”
The fourth uncle paused, then suddenly turned around and said, "It's just a little bit, daughter-in-law, don't think about marrying, once you become a Taoist, you can't marry a wife for life." The fourth uncle's hand hung over his lower abdomen, "Here, three inches below the umbilicus, the laity use it to pass on the ancestry, the Taoists use it to cultivate the self and become enlightened, and the kidney water is the source of strength, so it should not be empty." ”
Maotou didn't expect that he would not be able to please his wife in this life, so he was obviously stunned, and the fourth uncle's face was peaceful, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Think about it carefully, and come to me after thinking about it." ”
I later experienced a lot to understand that Taoism accepts apprentices, and it has always been the master looking for apprentices, not apprentices to apprentice, no matter how good the apprentices are, they are not favored by the master, after all, it is in vain, and I don't know whether the fourth uncle has taken a fancy to Maotou, or purely out of compassion.
Can't please your wife, normal men are difficult to accept, Maotou this kid obviously hesitated, his face was sad, he didn't answer immediately, and the fourth uncle didn't ask, he wanted to go back and see what the situation was in Zhao Youzong's place.
Thinking of the bare-bottomed white doll that appeared on the grave, I have to tell the fourth uncle now, the fourth uncle listened to the puzzled hum, stopped and asked me carefully, frowning, "It's like a baby who is about to be reincarnated, and generally won't cry the grave, unless it can't be reincarnated!" But they're going to follow the woman! ”
I thought about it for a while, there was only one woman who came to my grandmother's door early in the morning, Li Honghua, this woman was fooling around with others, was she pregnant? Why can't the reincarnated baby get close to her body and reincarnate?!
The fourth uncle didn't know the reason, but he felt that this woman was a little weird, so I followed the fourth uncle and asked, "Did she really see the two of us burning down the house last night?" ”
The fourth uncle looked back at me meaningfully, "What do you say?" ”
I thought about it, "If she sees us lighting a fire, and she and Zhao Youzong have that kind of relationship, why doesn't she shout." ”
The fourth uncle nodded, "That's right, you're making great progress now." ”
I wondered, "Since she didn't see us, why didn't you tear her down before?" ”
The fourth uncle didn't answer me, but asked, "Then how did she know that we lit the fire?" And who told her? ”
It dawned on me that Mao Tou was following behind me, and whispered, "Yes, is it a ghost?" ”
The fourth uncle smiled slightly, "There is such a possibility, it's hard to say now, the ghost thing is evidence, most others won't believe it, I just wanted to stabilize her at the time, so I didn't expose her." ”
It turned out that the fourth uncle had been preparing to go to Li Honghua for a long time, and I asked, "Then why can't the infant spirit be reincarnated?" ”
The fourth uncle replied, "There are two possibilities, one is to use evil methods to block these infant spirits so that they can't get close, so that the child born is completely demented; Another possibility is that something else occupies the flesh, and these infant spirits are not opponents, so they dare not approach. ”
The fourth uncle said to himself, "Can this woman conceive sextuplets at once?" ”
The fourth uncle decided to go to Li Honghua, even if she had no problem, the infant spirit was not pestering her, Zhao Youzong was unwilling to say anything, maybe what Zhao Youzong was trying his best to hide from her.
Since I heard that I couldn't take my daughter-in-law, Maotou was a little dizzy, followed us for half a mile, said that he wanted to go home and think about it, and then left, and my fourth uncle and I took a detour to Li Honghua's house.
Her door was wide open, and there was no one inside.
I pushed open the door, but there was no answer inside, and there were many things scattered on the table, as if I knew that the fourth uncle was coming to her, so I fled in a hurry.
The fourth uncle stood outside and looked at her house, and asked me to go in to see if it was cold and if there were any jars and jars.
There was some shade in her room, but it wasn't cold, it just smelled of must, and six small jars were found side by side under the bedside.
At the head of the bed was a white rope with six women's clothes scraped on it, these six clothes were completely ancient clothes, with rough workmanship, some of them were even sewn with sheets, especially the sixth piece, which had not yet sewn sleeves, which looked very strange.
I called the fourth uncle in, he also saw these things, and sighed, "It seems that the evil ghost has occupied her flesh, this house is not cold, and there is no ruined family wealth, it seems that the things in her womb should be raised." ”
When the fourth uncle spoke, I looked down at the six small jars, which were full of fishy smell, as if it was the blood of something, and there was incense ash next to it.
"Is she also a ghost keeper?" I felt more and more incredible.
