Chapter Eighty-Four: Everything is Ready
Zhong Xiaoyun's attention was instantly attracted, more than seventy people died tragically, or the evil ghost asked for his life, and the others couldn't calm down, she asked timidly with a pale face: "Didn't you say that Master Feng died alone?" ”
Shi Jian told the truth: "The government and the government have blocked the news, haven't you seen it from the countryside, there are yamen guarding the intersections, but such a big thing can't be hidden for long." I belong to the people involved in the case, Master Feng called my name before he died, and the only surviving person in the Miao family named me by name, and the county government head would send someone to the countryside to find me. ”
It took a while for Zhong Xiaoyun to digest this amazing news, and said with a puzzled expression: "Why do evil ghosts harm so many people? Does he have a grudge against the Miao family? ”
Shi Jian sneered: "Originally, there was no hatred, but Old Lady Miao did his own thing. He died innocently, affecting dozens of members of his family. ”
Subsequently, he told Zhong Xiaoyun about the evil deeds committed by Mrs. Miao, and after listening to it, Zhong Xiaoyun said angrily: "Mrs. Miao is too bad, I heard before that he gave people usury, and if he can't get the money back, he forces people to sell his wife and daughter, he is not a good person." Ah Chang and Xu Ling'er are also a pair of hard-working mandarin ducks, and they actually met Old Lady Miao, Dao Chief, if you can subdue Ah Chang, just subdue him, don't let him hurt people again. ”
Shi Jian said embarrassedly: "Ah Chang has become very powerful now, I just fought with him, my Taoism is a little worse, I'm afraid it will be difficult to subdue him on my own." ”
"What then?"
"You can only rely on external forces." Shi Jian looked at the sky outside the house, and said with a deep look in his eyes: "I hope that Lord Zhixian will make a wise decision, and with the intervention of official forces, the things I need should be able to be gathered quickly and subdue Ah Chang as soon as possible." If it continues to drag on, Achang's power will become stronger and stronger, and not only Ma Xiangping, but also Shangxiang and Fenghai County will suffer. ”
Zhong Xiaoyun was shocked and frightened, "Ah Chang killed Old Lady Miao, and the revenge has already been avenged, why do you want to hurt people?" ”
"It's complicated to say." Shi Jian patiently explained: "After a person dies, the soul is the last breath of vitality in the body, and on the day of the first seven episodes, this breath of vitality is summoned by the underworld, and it will leave the body and turn into a gust of yin wind, and report to the Ghost Gate." ”
"And some people are obsessed with it, the obsession is too deep, and they leave the body before the first seven souls, do not go to the underworld to report, turn into lonely souls and wild ghosts, and wander away, Ma Linxiang belongs to this type. He's okay, when he was alive, his mind was not right, but he was not a big evil, and he was not eroded into a ghost by obsession, resentment, and evil thoughts when he died. ”
"Zombies are different from ghosts, zombies are cursed corpses. There is a corpse cultivation sect in our spiritual world, and there is a saying in this sect that they believe that Hou Qing is the first zombie to come back from the dead in heaven and earth, and Hou Qing was later killed by the Yellow Emperor, and before he died, he put a curse on all the dead corpses in the world: anyone who died unjustly can become a zombie. ”
"A person who dies unjustly has an extra breath of resentment in his body, and the strong resentment makes the corpse perpetuate, and then absorbs the yin qi between heaven and earth, naturally produces corpse qi, and then the corpse becomes a zombie."
Zhong Xiaoyun listened with relish and asked curiously, "What is Ah Chang?" Ghost? Or zombies? ”
It's a zombie and it's good, with all the strangeness he shows, eighty percent is a strange corpse, but he's not.
"Not human, not ghost, not zombie."
"Ah Chang's situation is very special, he was pressed into the fish tank by Mrs. Miao and drowned, full of resentment, after death, the soul is likely to become a ghost, and the body is likely to become a zombie, and it is a very fierce ghost and zombie. Later, Mrs. Miao entrusted Mr. Corpse Driver to transport Ah Chang's body out of the city, and there may have been an accident on the way. ”
Shi Jian guessed: "When I fought with Ah Chang, he exuded a strong smell of sulfur and was covered in mud. Jin Zhutou told me that there were several sulfur pools in the barren mountains north of Fenghai County, and I estimated that Mr. Corpse Chaser might have passed by there and accidentally dropped Ah Chang's body into the sulfur pool. ”
"In the spirit world, sulfur is a poisonous yang attribute substance, and Ah Chang's soul and body are soaked in it, which is equivalent to being in a raging fire, and the pain is beyond human imagination. If there was nothing to hold him up, he couldn't possibly hold on. ”
Zhong Xiaoyun said: "It should be his love for Xu Ling'er." ”
"Xiaoyun, you and I have come to the same place." Shi Jian expressed his appreciation, stood up and paced slowly with his hands behind his back, and said as he walked: "With the support of hatred, resentment, and love, Ah Chang survived, and his soul and body were integrated together, and because he had been soaked in the sulfur pool for a long time, he had a strong resistance to yang attribute substances, and also had a special ability to manipulate the quagmire. ”
With strong obsession, bitter hatred, sky-high resentment, and unswerving love for Xu Ling'er, Ah Chang was able to return to the world, these things are the source of his strength, and they are constantly polluting his soul. He has lost his humanity, and all that remains is the killing instinct driven by evil thoughts and resentment. In other words, he couldn't stop. ”
Speaking of this, Shi Jian suddenly paused, frowned and thought for a moment, and said to himself: "Love is an obsession, Ah Chang and Xu Ling'er are deeply in love, and seeing her husband drowned, doesn't she have a little anger and resentment in her heart?" Didn't she become a ghost after being dead for so many days? ”
Unable to find an answer for the time being, Shi Jian planned to open the altar at night to surpass the undead, so he summoned the ghosts of Master Feng and Xu Ling'er together to ask.
The two sat and chatted for a while, Shi Jian asked Zhong Xiaoyun to help clean up the Demon Suppression Hall, Master Feng died, some underwear, and the items he used should be taken out, and those that should be burned should be burned, and those who should be buried should be buried.
Zhong Xiaoyun actually wanted to leave, she would rather go home and be nagged by her father and mother than stay in the Demon Suppression Hall, just now she focused on the affairs of Ah Chang and Xu Ling'er, but now facing Shi Jian, she felt uncomfortable.
couldn't bear Shi Jian's soft grinding and hard bubbles, Zhong Xiaoyun saw that he had too many things to do, his heart softened, and he reluctantly agreed to stay and help him clean up the house.
She packed up her things, Shi Jian was not idle, drawing talismans to buy things, and doing some preparations for the opening of the altar at night.
When he was busy in the afternoon, Zhong Xiaoyun was about to say goodbye and leave, when the county magistrate suddenly came to the door and brought good news, the county magistrate decided to ask Shi Jian to catch ghosts, and a thousand taels of silver was a lot. Jin Zhutou is responsible for assisting Shi Jian, if the matter cannot be resolved, the magistrate will solve Shi Jian and Jin Zhutou together.
In addition to roosters, yellow table paper, cinnabar, peach wood and other things, Jin Zhutou also found Shi Jian with something that he urgently needed, seven lotus lamps that had been enshrined in front of the Buddha statue for more than ten years.
Shi Jian was overjoyed, now the Beidou Demon Demon Lamp Array is also available, and when the heavens and the earth are all working together, he feels that this is the will of heaven, and he doesn't want to delay it any longer, so he temporarily decided to kill Ah Chang tonight.
Zhong Xiaoyun couldn't leave again, she had to stay and help Shi Jian watch the dozens of big roosters, while Shi Jian led the yacha and some of the recruited villagers to Coffin Mountain and carried all his little cuties to Yizhuang.
