Chapter 3 Searching for Bodies
"Found it!"
With Li Aijun's roar of surprise, the others also gathered over with joy on their faces.
"Why is this incense burning like this!?" Li Aimin glanced at it and said in horror.
"What do you mean?"
"The old man often said that the incense burns three pillars, going hand in hand, two sections and one long, a great omen! This... The girl buried here is very resentful! ”
As if to cater to Li Min's words, a yin wind on the flat ground swept the wet paper money straight into the sky, not to mention that it was as high as a five-story building, and the sad crying sound that seemed to be there was desperately drilled into people's ears, as if the evil ghost was drinking flesh and blood, and people were furious when they heard it.
"What bullshit, no matter how heavy the resentment is, can't it kill those crumbs on the dog's baby?" Li Dazhuang also heard it, but he was not afraid of anything by nature, so he scolded, and was about to dig with a pickaxe, but was stopped by Li Aijun.
"Wait!"
"What's wrong?" Li Dazhuang didn't understand, the "life-saving corpse" was right in front of him, why couldn't he dig it up?
Li Aijun explained: "Wang Banxian has explained, this trick attracts souls, but he doesn't dare to come like this..."
Now that I've found it, I have to try it anyway, even if it's my own life, I have to invite this Yin Lord back!
Li Aijun made up his mind, asked everyone to step back, knelt in front of the grave, and then put down Wang Banxian's bag, opened the zipper, took out three dark candles, lit them with flint, and inserted them in front of the grave in the shape of a zigzag, and carefully took out three soul-attracting incense sticks and lit them on the candle flame, and also inserted them, and then took out a pile of knife paper, and burned them all with a wooden stick.
It was obviously windy, but this pile of paper ashes lay quietly on the ground like a stone, motionless, the flame of the dark candle was erratic, and there were signs of extinguishing at any time, and the dry and transparent soul-attracting incense was only a red dot as small as a needle, barely burning.
Li Aijun sighed, Wang Banxian said that if the paper is not ash and the incense and candles are difficult to burn, it means that this girl's soul is not willing at all.
Fortunately, Li Aijun still had a back hand, took out a small paper bag from his arms, and burned it on the candle flame, and a smell of burnt hair wafted out, and what was wrapped there was Li Gouwa's fetal hair.
"Miss Xiujuan, I know that your life is hard, you were bullied during your lifetime, and your soul has to suffer after death, it just so happens that my baby's soul is special, and now he is haunted by resentful spirits, ready to take his life, today I dare to invite you, go home with me to be the Yin Lord for a few years, as long as you are willing, protect my poor baby's life, I will engrave a monument for you, and worship it day and night!"
After Li Aijun finished speaking, he knocked his head three times, and then bowed respectfully, bent over at 90 degrees, and waited quietly.
Li Aijun held a heart and waited nervously, according to Wang Banxian's statement, the soul of the person who committed suicide went to hell, and he would definitely have to suffer a hundred years of torture, if someone with a soul and a yin was willing to worship it, it would be able to use this fetter to deceive the investigation of the yin difference, and stay in the world for a long time to enjoy the incense, not only to avoid the pain of torture, but also to have the opportunity to cultivate into a ghost immortal and wash away the sins, which can be described as a good thing that kills two birds with one stone, and no ghost is willing to refuse.
Li Aijun's mind was full of thoughts, and the crazy swept wind suddenly swept away, the paper money hovering in the sky lost its supporting strength, and fell down like a kite with a broken string, and a jet-black black gas rushed up from the mouth of the valley and floated on top of the mound.
A group of people felt stiff at the same time, even Li Dazhuang, who was the most courageous, couldn't help but tremble, although it was just a cloud of black gas, but everyone understood that this must be the soul of the girl, everyone held their breath and stared, bowed their heads slightly, and didn't dare to look.
Boom, boom, the dark candle seemed to have some inexplicable strength, the fire suddenly rose two inches high, the soul-attracting incense burned at a speed visible to the naked eye, wisps of green smoke gathered but did not disperse, faintly condensed into the shape of a hand, under Li Aijun's frightened gaze, he hugged the ashes of the knife paper and drilled into the grave.
"It's done!" When Li Aijun saw this scene, he knew that the girl's soul had agreed, and tears of excitement flowed.
"Thank you for your kindness, my old Li family will definitely not disappoint you!"
Li Aijun didn't know how to express his emotions, so he knelt down again and kept kowtowing.
"Let's go..."
A long, resentful woman's voice floated out of the black air, "Hey! Li Aijun hurriedly stopped kowtowing, agreed, took out a yellow talisman, held it with both hands, the black gas seemed to be very eager, and when he saw the talisman paper, he immediately turned into a black light and shot into the talisman.
"Dig the grave!" Li Aijun was like holding a newborn dog baby, folded the rune paper, put it close to his body, and shouted, Li Aimin knew that it was time for him to play, took off the suona pinned to his waist, and blew a trombone.
The trombone changed, followed by mourning, and everyone immediately began to dig graves.
The moonlight is cold, and before you know it, it has reached eight o'clock in the night, because it is a new grave, the soil is fluffy, not compact, and the burial is not deep, almost just a cigarette, a roll of tattered mats appeared in front of you, the mat was tied horizontally and vertically by the red line, and there was a talisman at the intersection of the red line, which should have been painted by Wang Banxian, seeing this talisman, Li Aijun knew that this was absolutely not wrong, and the female corpse was exactly the object they were looking for.
Everyone hurriedly stopped their movements, Li Aijun bowed again, said 'offended', and then jumped off the grave, took a deep breath, forcibly stabilized his trembling arm, tore off the charm, ripped off the red line, and uncovered the straw mat.
By the moonlight, a beautiful face came into view, and the skin that could be broken by blowing was not at all like a woman in a ravine except that it was as pale as paper, with a graceful figure and a concave and convex body.
But no one did not have a little coveting, because the female corpse's cloudy eyes were round and wide, like a dead fish, her expression was hideous and terrifying, and her limbs were irregularly distorted, as if she wanted to choose someone, and her whole body exuded a cold dead air.
"Ahh
As soon as the straw mat was lifted, a deafening and terrible scream spread throughout the four fields, rumbling far along the valley, and the echo continued for a long time.
After all, Li Aijun was an ordinary person, and fear instantly came out of his heart, so frightened that he crawled to the corner of the grave and knelt down and kowtowed.
The five people outside the grave were also shocked, gasped, and knelt down.
After more than ten minutes, Li Aijun suppressed the fear in his heart, and quietly glanced at the female corpse with a dark face, but saw that the female corpse didn't know when, her hands, feet and expression had returned to normal, lying peacefully, but her eyes were still not closed.
Li Aijun's heart was about to jump out of his throat, his mind was blank, and his hands and feet twitched violently without obeying the call, but when he thought of the dog baby, he suddenly became ruthless, gritted his teeth, slapped himself hard, stabilized his mind, and then slowly approached the female corpse.
"Xiujuan... Uncle will take you home! ”
The female corpse seemed to hear the call of this desperate man, a sinister smile quietly appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she slowly closed her eyes.
Li Aijun breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw this, and said to a few people outside the grave: "Brothers, it's become..."
After wrapping the female corpse again with the straw mat he brought, Li Aijun took out a pair of white straw paper cut out of the word "Xi" and pasted it on the straw mat, then put it on his back and climbed out.
Li Aimin puffed up his cheeks and played the suona vigorously, but the song was a mourning music, a joy blowing back and forth, which seemed very weird, in fact, this is not difficult to understand, please Yin Lord, in fact, it is almost the same as marrying, naturally you want to play joy, but it is a dead person who is invited, and mourning is also a must.
Li Dazhuang walked in the front as usual, holding a spirit flag in his hand and waving it constantly, the fierce north wind blew the spirit flag up, like a ghost hand, Wang Jianguo sprinkled paper money and white flowers folded into white paper while walking, Li Erniu held a bell in his hand and shook it, and Li Jiefang was responsible for shouting "Xiujuan... Go home with your uncle..."The last one is Li Aijun who is carrying the corpse on his back.
A string of silver bell-like maiden laughter was triumphant and cold, and as the team kept moving forward, the mountain wind whimpered, like a terrible ghost's sorrow, accompanied by the sound of footsteps, adding a permeating atmosphere to this unusual night.
The loss is that there are no living people in this broken ravine at night except for the beasts looking for food, otherwise it is estimated that the soul will fly directly when he sees this scene.
Ahh
Quack quack...
As soon as I got off the pheasant cliff and climbed up the hillside, there was a long howl of wolves and a strange cry of crows behind me at the same time, the sound was rapid, mixed with a touch of fear, like urging, and like retaining, it sounded very uncomfortable, and everyone even doubted that they would not be able to roar directly and choke to death. However, no one cared about them at this time, and hurried to hurry up at a hurry, and must hurry back to the village before twelve o'clock.
The backs of the group gradually disappeared, no one noticed, and a group of terrifying-looking ghosts suddenly appeared on the silent pheasant cliff, chattering and laughing recklessly, and among them, there was an unwilling 'Xiujuan'!
How can there be two Xiujuan? Or, the soul they led away may not really be Xiujuan at all!
At about eleven forty, Wang Banxian was already a little better at this time, sitting next to the sleeping dog, taking out a pocket watch and looking at it from time to time, full of anxiety.
"Uncle, what time is it? Why haven't they come back? Li Aijun's mother-in-law paced back and forth, she had already made sacrifices with the women in the village, dressed in hemp filial piety, and a brand-new red lacquer coffin was placed at the door, just the yin master of the dog baby.
Wang Banxian was about to comfort him, when he suddenly smelled an astonishing evil aura floating from the entrance of the village, and hurriedly said, "I'm back!" Hurry up and prepare! ”
Li Aijun's mother-in-law was shocked, pushed open the door and ran out, called out, the firecrackers crackled and exploded, a red and white lantern lit up at the same time, the two Li elders sat nervously on the two chairs in the north of the courtyard of Li Aijun's house, on each side stood two rows of vivid paper people, behind the paper people is a paper horse, a paper room, unified with white straw paper, the dim lantern light shrouded in the Li family everywhere is permeated with infiltrating demon.
It didn't take long for the corpse search team to appear in the courtyard of Li Aijun's house.
"Xiujuan... We... It's home! ”
With Li Aimin's trombone, they all said that the corpses of dead people are much heavier than those of living people, Li Aijun has a deep understanding of this time, and when he put down the corpse, he gasped violently, sweat soaked through his clothes, and his whole body seemed to be washed with water.
"Hold the dog baby, give it to me!" Wang Banxian, who had been waiting for a long time, stuffed the dog baby into Li Aijun's arms, unfolded the rune paper for a moment, his brows twisted into a pimple, and then uncovered the straw mat and glanced at it, and asked, "Are you sure that the soul in this talisman is this girl's?" ”
"Then there can be a fake, all the procedures are according to what you said, a group of us saw with our own eyes a stream of black gas drilled into the talisman!" Li Dazhuang hurriedly replied.
"But... How does it feel wrong, this ghost aura is too scary, the soul of the person who has just died, no matter how heavy the grievance is, there is no reason for it to become so strong..."Wang Banxian muttered to himself.
"Uncle Wang, it's almost too late, what are you waiting for?" Li Aijun saw that Wang Banxian didn't move, and couldn't help urging.
"Maybe I'm suspicious, so let's get started!" Wang Banxian completely uncovered the straw mat, revealing Xiujuan's corpse, and then silently recited the soul return mantra, the rune paper shook, and the black gas floated out, like a snake, along the seven orifices of the corpse.
Cluck...
As soon as the black qi entered, the lying corpse sat up straight, the bones on the neck made a tooth-aching sound, the head turned one hundred and eighty degrees mechanically, a pair of dead fish eyes opened suddenly, staring straight at the dog baby in Li Aijun's arms, and then the mouth was huge, and even the cheeks were deformed, blooming in a strange arc, and giggling.
