Chapter Eighty-Seven: An Unsolved Mystery
"Immortal ......"
Just when I was stunned, Xu Yuanzhi called me. I heard too many things from his voice, some solemn, some shocked, some puzzled, some questioned...... Seems to have something important to tell me.
I looked at him, and he looked at me, frowning, with a complicated look in his eyes, and his lips trembled twice, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't say anything.
The way he looked made me panic, and my intuition told me that something must have happened, and I rolled my throat a few times, and opened my mouth to ask, "What...... What's wrong? β
Xu Yuanzhi didn't speak, just turned his head and picked up the bones of the dead baby and handed it over.
If it was in the usual days, I wouldn't have picked it up. But now, in this atmosphere, I actually stretched out my hands and took it.
The corpse was dry, very light, and the dry human skin tentacles were a little erect, greasy, and felt disgusting.
I held the corpse in my hands and stared at Xu Yuanzhi, not knowing what he meant by handing it to me.
He raised his chin at the corpse and said, "Look at its head!" β
What's wrong with the head?
I lowered my head and looked at the baby's head quickly, and I noticed something was wrong.
At the same time, there was a "boom" in my head, and the whole person was like being beaten with a stick, dizzy, and sitting in the grave.
The top of the baby's head! The location of the fontanelle! There was a silver needle the thickness of a toothpick!
My mind went blank, my heart was beating so fast that I couldn't breathe, and I was suffocating.
After the blank slate, an overwhelming number of questions swept in.
Who is buried in this tomb? Who is this white bone? Who am I?
The cow madman once told me that when I was cut out of my mother's womb, there was a silver needle stuck in the fontanelle, and the silver needle almost killed me.
Even if the cow maniac's words are not to be believed, my grandmother said the same thing to me before she died.
But why did I come back this time, I heard a lot of villagers say that my mother left a dead baby after she died, and many people have seen the dead baby.
The infant corpse had a silver needle stuck in its fontanelle, and it was buried with a woman......
Could this person be my mother, and the dead baby back then?
If so, who am I?
I can accept that I am a freak who was inexplicably conceived and stayed in my mother's womb for more than a year, but I can't accept it, my mother is not my mother, I am not me, if this is the case, wouldn't I have become an orphan of unknown origin?
"Look at this ......"
As he spoke, Xu Yuanzhi felt something from the side of the bones again.
It was a yellow jade plaque, but what really caught my eye was the word "Ru" engraved on it.
It seems that this grave is really my mother!
It's just that why did my mother's grave have an extra child for no reason? I looked at the little dried corpse again and said, "Who is it?" β
"It should be your brother." Xu Yuanzhi said.
"My brother? Was I not the only one in my mother's womb back then? I was surprised.
Xu Yuanzhi nodded: "No one has said that your mother has only you in her belly, it should be that both of you were calculated at the beginning, but you survived, but he died." β
Xu Yuanzhi looked at me for a long time, like he didn't know me.
"Is the silver needle that pierced your fontanelle still there?"
Hearing this, I had mixed feelings in my heart, and Xu Yuanzhi's inference was eighty percent right.
I shuddered and took out a silver needle from my pocket, and plucked the one from the head of the baby's corpse, and put it togetherβthe same cumbersome lines, like charms, that made people feel both vulgar and evil!
"The one on your head was pulled out, and the one on the baby's head, probably because he was dead at the time, was neglected, and was buried here with your mother."
I suddenly felt a pain in my heart, and the pain made me crouch down and tears rained down.
I have fantasized about my mother countless times, but I never thought that this would be the case when our mother and son met for the first time......
At this moment, I finally understood the purpose of the ghost baby to bring me here, it must be trying to tell me that I must find out the murderer of my mother and our brother.
Xu Yuanzhi looked at me who was crying bitterly, and said quietly: "This is the will of heaven, these two silver needles are magic weapons, since they are magic weapons, then they must not be ownerless, I will go back and ask people in the same way to see if anyone knows this thing." β
After Xu Yuanzhi finished speaking, he rummaged in the grave again, but he couldn't find anything else.
"Changsheng, have you ever been to your mother's grave?"
"No, my grandmother didn't let me when I was a child, and I didn't let the cow madman ...... after my grandmother died."
Actually, I didn't know where my mother was buried at the time...... As a Son of Man, isn't that a little too incredible?
I put the baby back in my mother's belly. I think the person who buried my mother put it in this position in the first place, probably so that it and my mother's soul in heaven can comfort each other.
"Master, you have expected this for a long time, right?" I asked Xu Yuanzhi.
He nodded and said, "This morning, when you said that you could feel the fluctuations in the ghost baby's heart in your heart, as if it was connected with its blood, I had an extra thought. Add to this the fact that the black carp stone is useless to the ghost baby, and it can always sense your presence, so I would venture to guess that there may be some kind of magical connection between you. β
Xu Yuanzhi is well-informed, which I really admire.
I nodded, and said, "Why don't you say that this baby's corpse doesn't rot, and my mother's corpse is rotten into white bones?" β
Xu Yuanzhi's eyes rolled, and he said: "It should be the relationship between that needle, and other than that, nothing else can be explained." β
"Have you ever heard of any sorcery or spell that requires a silver needle to be pierced into a baby's fontanelle?"
I and the ghost baby both have silver needles stuck in our heads, and there must be some point for the murderer to do this.
Xu Yuanzhi shook his head this time: "Many years ago, Niu Maniac discussed this matter with my master, but they didn't come up with a famous name. In this world, there are many side doors, and there are countless strange spells, because they are not recognized by people in the righteous path, they are naturally hidden, and many things are unheard of by us. β
I was a little frustrated: "In this way, if you want to find the murderer to avenge my mother, you can only rely on these two silver needles." β
"Don't worry, there are so many discoveries today, it is providence, it is a good start, you have to believe that one day, everything will fall into place."
I nodded yes and solemnly put away the two silver needles.
"Go back and prepare something, let this baby corpse be overborn, it hasn't entered reincarnation for so many years, and it has long missed the opportunity to reincarnate, if we don't help it overrun, it can only be a lonely ghost wandering around, this is probably the purpose of it leading you here."
