Chapter 20: The Curse of Despair, the Golden Lock Throat

After Xu Erhu finished talking about what happened to Xu Dali's family, we also rushed to his doorstep.

I sighed for a while, and felt in my heart that this Xu Dali was also a poor person, so I asked, "Is he really as lazy as you say?" Didn't you go to see the construction site the other day? ”

Xu Erhu said: "He didn't care about the construction site, he ran back after two days, and he couldn't go." ”

With that, he walked to the door and "clanged" a hammer.

There was no movement in the courtyard for a long time, so he raised his voice and shouted: "Uncle-uncle-are you at home?" ”

"Will it go out?" I guessed.

The cow madman frowned: "It should be at home, the door is bolted from the inside." ”

After smashing for a while, there was no response, the cow madman's brows furrowed more and more tightly, and I also had a bad premonition.

"Something may have happened, don't knock." The cow madman pulled us backwards, flew up with a kick, kicked the door open with a "bang", rushed into the yard with an arrow step, and ran straight to the door of the house.

Okay, old cow!

I was amazed at the skill of the bull madman and ran after him.

The door of the house was inserted from the inside, and the cow madman pushed it without pushing it open, nor did he grind, but directly kicked it again.

As soon as the door opened, a cloudy stench came to my face.

"This ...... What does it smell like? I covered my nose and stood in the doorway.

But the cow madman didn't seem to smell it, and went around the hall, pushed open the door of the back room, and was stunned.

As soon as I saw his expression, I knew something was wrong, and I pinched my nose and walked over to take a look inside, and my heart chuckled.

There was an old man lying on the floor of the inner room, his face full of horror, his eyes seemed to be about to pop out, slightly open, and the crotch of his pants was slimy...... Apparently long dead.

"This ...... This ......"

Xu Erhu, who came in at the end, looked at the corpse on the ground, and was stunned for a long time without saying a word.

"He's Xu Dali?" The cow madman asked.

Xu Erhu nodded with horror on his face.

The cow madman walked in, squatted down and touched the corpse, and sighed: "It's still warm, we're a step too late." ”

He ...... How did he die? I haven't heard of any illness in him, could it be that there is something wrong with his house? Xu Erhu unconsciously lowered his voice, his eyes were full of fear, and he looked around, as if a demon would suddenly jump out of this room at any time, and I was nervous.

"It's like scared to death, I don't know what he saw before he died."

As soon as he heard that the cow madman said that people were scared to death, Xu Erhu's face turned pale in an instant, and his body trembled: "This ...... This Xu Dali is a single, I will go to the village committee to notify and ask everyone to help deal with the aftermath......"

Before he could finish speaking, he turned to leave.

"Wait." The cow madman called out to him and asked, "Which craftsman built this house for him?" ”

"It was many years ago, I was young, and I don't know." After Xu Erhu finished speaking, he smeared oil on the soles of his feet and ran away.

"Old Niu, Xu Dali will not die sooner or later, but we are looking for him, he is dead, is this too coincidental?"

The cow madman was checking Xu Dali's body, listened to my words, looked up at me, showed a look of approval, and nodded: "Xu Dali should have seen the murderer that night, and the murderer knew that we were going to come to him today, so he killed people." ”

I nodded and felt that it made sense, but after thinking about it, we made a temporary decision to come to this Nanyuan Touzi Village after eating, and no outsiders knew about it at all, so how did the murderer know?

"Could it be that we are being watched, and our every move is under the control of others?"

The cow madman was not shocked when he heard my words, and seemed to have thought of it a long time ago.

"Old Niu, how did this murderer come in and kill people? This ghost in broad daylight didn't dare to come out at all, it couldn't be a ghost to kill people, if you want to say that people kill people, but this door is inserted from the inside, and the windows are all iron mullions, so you can't get in at all. ”

"I can't answer you about this, there are too many strange and ingenious tricks in the world, and there are countless ways to kill people in crooked ways." The cow madman shook his head, sighed, and said, "Now that the only clue is broken, things are getting more and more confusing. ”

"By the way, the old turtle in the Xiaolong River also said that he was very powerful, and he was desperate to save the female ghost."

"It seems that the opponent we are facing is really strong!"

As he spoke, the cow maniac spun back and forth in the room, and at one moment he went to the bottom of the bed, then he knocked on the pot table, and then he looked up at the beams......

I was curious and couldn't help asking, "Old Niu, what are you looking for?" ”

This time, the madman did not answer me immediately, but searched again, and finally came to the hall and stood on a horse and knocked vigorously on the wall facing the door, and beckoned to me: "Changsheng, go and find me a good guy, I will tear this wall apart and take a look." ”

Tear down the wall? Yours is the real thing.

"What are you doing by tearing down the wall?"

"Find something."

I stomped around and found a hammer from behind the door and handed it to the cow maniac.

The cow madman took it and smashed it against the wall with all his might, and after a few clicks, the wall skin fell off, revealing a palm-sized hole.

He reached in and fumbled for a boxy brass locket covered with green rust, opened it, and inside was a small bag of oiled paper sealed with wax, and when he opened it again, he found an old yellow-mounted paper.

"Humph! As expected, it is extremely vicious! The cow madman only glanced at it and cursed.

Curious, I stood on tiptoe and anxiously asked, "What's it?" ”

The cow madman jumped off the maza and handed me the yellow mounted paper, which was a strange painting, the painting was a crooked house, the door was wide open, empty, the pot stove in the house was also collapsed, it was simply decadent, and there were two lines of crooked words written on both sides, but I didn't recognize any of them after looking at it for a long time.

"What is this?"

"Is the Ox Fairy still in the house?"

The cow madman was about to answer me, when a shout suddenly came from outside, it was Xu Erhu who had returned.

The cow madman answered, and several big men walked in one after another, who should be the people sent by the village to collect Xu Dali's body.

I don't know what Xu Erhu told them, they cowered one by one, and after entering the house, they casually pulled up a broken quilt from the kang, wrapped Xu Dali's body, lifted it up and ran away.

The people are dead, the clues are broken, and there is no point in us staying here any longer, and as soon as they leave, we will leave immediately.

It was almost noon, and I sat on the back of my bicycle and asked about the painting again.

"That painting is a curse thing, Xu Dali's family is dead, all thanks to it."

The words of the cow madman surprised me, such a broken painting can actually curse a family to death?

"This is not an ordinary painting, the house collapses, and there is no one in the house, which represents the extinction of the household. The position of this painting is facing the door, the door of the hall is the gas outlet of the family, wealth, luck, and anger are all entered from the air mouth, and the things placed in the air mouth can be related to the fortune of the family. ”

"Such a painting with a special charm is packed in a metal box and built into the wall, which is called the golden lock throat in Taoism, which means that it locks the throat of the family, that is, the breath, and the anger cannot come in, and the turbid air cannot get out, and over time, the family will naturally decay......"

Ever since the bull madman agreed to teach me Taoism, he always told me in great detail about this kind of thing. Then he talked about the art of disgust and feng shui gossip, and talked all the way......
