Volume 1 Origins Chapter 21 Cutting the Heart
With a half-believing attitude, Su Liu walked into the wooden house with him.
Pushing open the wooden door that was about to fall off the door frame, a damp and moldy smell rushed to the face, the room was dark and there was almost no light, and the wooden planks at the foot of the feet would creak every few steps, and the layers of cobwebs in front of them were removed, and the two came to the main hall.
Like a traditional rural house, the main hall is full of wooden furniture that looks very old, and if there is anything special about it, it is a photograph hanging on the wall.
The photo shows a man and a woman wearing a traditional Chinese red wedding dress, and the people in the photo should be Zheng Jie and Wang Juan.
When he was staring at the photo, a line of blood and tears suddenly flowed from the corners of Wang Juan's eyes in the photo, Su Liu was so frightened that he retreated again and again, if it wasn't for the person like Mr. Feng Shui who caught him, he was afraid that he would not retreat to the spikes protruding from the wall behind him.
The man smiled as if he knew what was going on, "Young man, I see that black gas is constantly coming out of your Yin Hall, I'm afraid you've been targeted by something unclean." ”
"Don't bluff me, I'm not afraid of this." Saying that, Su Liu secretly glanced at the photo on the wall again, but at this time, the photo was unusual.
"What's the point of just staring at a picture? I'll show you some more excitement. He followed the man Su Liu to a room that resembled a wedding room.
The room was small but full of paper figures, which looked even more eerie in the dim light.
The man was calm, "Do you know why paper figures can't draw eyes?" ”
Su Liu said with a smile: "Can you attract ghosts? ”
As a result, the man nodded with a serious face, "The paper figure is an extremely yin thing, and if you click your eyes again, it will attract some unclean things." After a pause, the man said, "Then look at the paper figures around you." ”
If you look closely, the paper figures around you are all painted with eyes!
Su Liu was covered in a cold sweat, and he only felt that these paper figures seemed to be staring at him, no matter where he stood, their eyes were always on him, this feeling made him feel like he was on pins and needles, and it seemed that every second in this room became a torment.
Seeing Su Liu's pale face, the man comforted: "Don't be afraid, I can't make waves with these paper figures, and this thing worries me the most." ”
As he spoke, he lifted a piece of cloth raised in front of him, and a willow coffin appeared in front of the two of them.
"It's ......"
"You can see what this is."
The man opened the coffin, and a pale-faced woman in a red wedding dress was lying peacefully inside, and the woman looked exactly like the person in the photograph outside.
"This is Wang Juan?"
"Yes, this person is Wang Juan."
"Three years ago, she was taken home by Zheng Jie, Zheng Jie's parents also thought she was good, so they decided to hold a wedding on September 15, but the day before the wedding, Zheng Jie died of a sudden illness, and Wang Juan couldn't get married, so she thought about going home, who knew that Zheng Jie's parents stunned Wang Juan on the day she didn't do it, and when she woke up again, she had already married Zheng Jie, and her soul was taken away by Zheng Jie after a while."
"Now that her body is placed here, the yin qi is accumulating more and more with each passing day, and if she continues like this, she may cause trouble."
Su Liu seemed to roughly guess his purpose, "Then you want me to help you solve the trouble?" ”
"Yes, I found you because I saw that your eyes were different from ordinary people, and I should be able to see evil things."
"No kidding, I haven't seen anything unclean in all this time."
The man pinched the hexagram in his hand and then pointed at Su Liu's temple, "Then you look around now." ”
Su Liu snorted disdainfully and looked around, but he was almost stunned, and ghosts appeared on the paper figures that looked a little oozing, with hideous faces and distorted forms, all looking at him with teeth and claws.
Su Liu looked at the man a little angrily and asked, "Hey! What kind of magic did you use on me? ”
"This is not some kind of evil art, I just opened your 'third eye' with that finger, you must know that this thing is not available to everyone, and your future is limitless."
"If I could see these things every day, I'd rather not have this third eye, and give it back to me!"
"Once the third eye is opened, it can't be closed again, boy, you just accept the status quo."
Su Liu rushed out of the room with some dissatisfaction, but as soon as his feet stepped out, there was a bell sound in his ears, and then a group of ghosts carrying the coffin stopped at the door, Su Liu was so nervous that he didn't dare to take a breath, and he was sweating profusely and carefully moved to the side against the wall.
The man remained calm in the face of such a scene, "She's coming back." ”
Su Liu lowered his voice as much as he could and asked, "Who?" ”
"Wang Juan, there are two more days until September 15th, when Zheng Jie and she will return here to hold a secret marriage, and once the secret marriage is completed, she will have no possibility of resurrection."
After that, the man walked towards Su Liu, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go, those ghosts are here to place the coffin, and they are not interested in us, as long as they don't provoke them, they won't come to trouble us." ”
Walking out of this haunted mansion, it was already night, but the outside was illuminated by the torches in the hands of the villagers.
One of the old men, who was over the age of six, stood up and shouted, "Wang Wenle, why do you dare to come? Bring a helper this time, don't blame us for not warning you last time, the big guy is about to tie them both up! ”
A group of villagers surrounded him with ropes in their hands, and Su Liu was about to make a move but was stopped by Wang Wenle, although he didn't understand what he meant, but he still let things develop according to his wishes.
A group of villagers tied the two men with sacks on their heads, followed by a jolt, and by the time they took off their hoods again, they were tied to an extremely thick tree.
"Where is this?"
Su Liu looked around and found that all that was left of the villagers except for the extremely distorted-looking trees was the angry-eyed villagers, and after a while, a person wearing a strange mask and muttering an obscure spell walked out of the way.
After circling the two of them, the man turned to look at the villager and his angry tone and said, "The ghosts of those two sinners are attached to these two people!" These two men will need to be purified with flames to keep the village safe! ”
The villagers were so excited that they raised torches.
"Burn them!"
"Burn them!"
“......”
When the crowd was angry, Wang Wenle dropped a black ball from his sleeve, and the moment the ball touched the ground, thick smoke instantly appeared around it, and then he threw away the blade between his fingers, broke the rope that had been cut and was about to break, pulled Su Liu and ran.
After running for a while, Wang Wenle stopped under a crooked-necked tree with a hanging rope.
"What the hell are you doing, if I did it just now, would those villagers be so rampant now?"
But Wang Wenle ignored himself, and dug under the crooked neck tree with his own hands, until the blood that flowed out of his fingers was about to stain the soil red, and then he cried out like crazy: "Found it!" Got it! ”
Su Liu stepped forward to see what he had found, but he was just a little closer, and a smell rushed towards him, and he forced the smell to get closer and saw that it was actually two corpses that had rotted and grown!
Su Liu pinched his nose and asked, "What are you doing?" Why dig up someone else's body? ”
"Do you know, these two corpses are the corpses of Zheng Jie's parents, as I expected, their hearts were indeed gouged out, it seems that my conjecture is correct."
"Guess? What conjecture? ”
"The village chief is the real culprit behind the scenes!"
Su Liu was puzzled, not knowing how this matter was related to the village chief again.
Wang Wenle then explained: "The village chief has lung cancer, which should have died two years ago, but he is still alive. ”
"What does this have to do with the village chief?"
Wang Wenle is confident, "This has to talk about a folk forbidden technique - 'cutting the heart'." ”
Su Liu had never heard of such a forbidden technique, "Cutting the heart? ”
"The so-called heart cutting is to use the hearts of two people as medicine, and then take the souls of the newlyweds who are related to the two people who have their hearts cut off as a guide, and then inhale the soul after taking the heart, you can remove a hundred diseases and live a hundred years."
"But that doesn't prove that the village chief is the real murderer behind the scenes?"
"First of all, the village chief is most in favor of Zheng Jie and Wang Juan's marriage, and after Zheng Jie's death, the marriage was actually proposed by the village chief to Zheng Jie's parents, so why is he in a hurry to let the two of them get married?"
Secondly, he couldn't be more aware of the various visions brought about by Wang Juan's marriage after they became married, but he shifted all the responsibility to Zheng Jie's parents and personally executed them, so why did the village chief want them to die? What about the two hearts that disappeared here? ”
"In the end, I want Wang Juan to be resurrected, but after Wang Juan is resurrected, Zheng Jie's soul will disappear, so he will do everything possible to stop me."
After saying this, Su Liu actually believed the person in front of him a little, but Su Liu still found a flaw in his words, "According to your meaning, the village chief has not collected the medicine guide yet, since the forbidden technique has not been completed, how did he survive until now?" ”
Wang Wenle filled the soil back and stood up from the ground.
"I knew you'd ask, come with me, and show you something interesting."
