Chapter 64: The Lost Soul Fifteen Years Ago (4k words)
When Chen Qiqi was talking to Master Jiang, a fat man jumped in and walked in, it was the stupid young master of the Jiang family, he called Master Jiang affectionately Daddy, and then saw Chen Qiqi sitting next to him, hurriedly came to him and looked at him carefully for a while and said, "Dad, I don't want to marry a daughter-in-law anymore...... You didn't tell me Tang Shanshan looked like this. β
Chen Chuchu: "......"
This young master of the Jiang family has a fat brain, about two hundred pounds.
He was wearing a gray gown, and his round belly was perfectly highlighted by the gown, and the most concerning thing was that there was a very large black-gray birthmark on the right side of the young master's face near the eye, which added a little more intelligence to the appearance of the IQ who did not look rich......
It seems that as long as the IQ is not normal in film and television dramas, they like to make some birthmarks on their faces.
Master Jiang looked at his son's appearance, and couldn't help sighing: "An'er, don't mess around, this little brother will live in our house for a while, you can be obedient, and the new daughter-in-law will have to wait for another half a month......"
This fat man is the son of Master Jiang, the young master of the Jiang family, Jiang An.
Chen Chu observed Jiang An's words and deeds, and found that he was not stupid, just naΓ―ve, and his intelligence seemed to be only at the level of a four- or five-year-old child......
Chen Qiqi asked: "Dare to ask Master Jiang, is Ling Gongzi born like this, or is he born like this?" β
Master Jiang pulled Jiang An to sit on the chair, his eyes were full of distress and unwillingness, and said sullenly that it was normal for Jiang An to be born like other children, but he ran out to play when he was five years old, and he didn't come back after dark.
At that time, Master Jiang was still in the profession of mixed catcher, so he immediately called a few catchers to help find him, and finally brought Jiang An back from the edge of a pond......
According to the description of the catcher, when they found Jiang An, the child was standing in the shallow part of the pond, with only one head exposed on the water, and his mouth was stuffed with reed rods.
Jiang An is five years old at the moment, that is, from this time on, it is difficult to learn to teach, and he forgets it quickly when he learns, until he is twenty years old this year, as if he has never grown up.
Before and after, the doctor was asked to carefully check the pulse, and everyone said that Jiang An was in good health and there was nothing wrong with him, as for why it kept being like this, no one could tell......
This Jiang An was not born mentally retarded, and what Master Jiang said was so mysterious, which made Chen Qiqi can't help but think of the ghosts-possessed bodies in "The First Commandment", which have a little similarity......
At this moment, Jiang An came over with a teapot, poured a cup of tea for Chen Chuchu, and said stupidly: "Brother, if you want to stay at my house, it's great, I don't have to play with the ninth housekeeper in the future, he always cheats on me!" As long as my brother doesn't cheat, I'll steal my father's tea for you to drink......"
Chen Chu hurriedly said: "Don't like this, don't like this, Young Master Jiang." "Your dad is still watching.
He pondered in his heart for a moment and asked Master Jiang, have you ever considered the situation of losing your soul? Master Jiang was a little confused by the word lost soul, he knew the soul, but wouldn't the soul die if the soul was gone?
Chen Qiqi explained to Master Jiang the role of the three souls and seven spirits.
These words directly made Master Jiang, who had just sat down, stand up in shock, and the beard on his cheeks was trembling: "Little brother, no, no, what Chen Gongzi said just now is true?" If the effect of the Three Souls and Seven Spirits is really like this, then wouldn't my son have lost his earth soul? β
When Jiang An was just born, Master Jiang had great expectations, if there is a parent who doesn't want his son to become a Chan, he is the same, and even planned the future, planning to train his son into a talent with both civil and military skills!
Chen Chuchu said that he was not sure yet, and he needed to check the three souls and seven spirits.
That night, according to Chen Chu's request, Master Jiang found seven pure copper lotus lamps, put on the sesame oil and wicks begged from the temple, and then gave Jiang An some confusion medicine to sleep......
The lotus lantern is in the shape of the Big Dipper, placed around Jiang An, and then takes the blood of Master Jiang to draw a soul charm on Jiang An's forehead, and asks Master Jiang to repeat the name of the child like Guo Xiaolan's parents in "The First Commandment".
He had just made the first sound, and the lotus lamp suddenly went out for the first time!
People have three souls of heaven and earth, and this first one represents the soul of the earth!
The consciousness of the Earth Soul Lord in this life, damage or loss will make a person become demented and more serious, and directly live dead......
In order to get his son back to normal, Master Jiang shouted for half an hour, and his voice was about to smoke, and he didn't see Jiang An's earth soul returning, but the black birthmark on his face kept moving, like a flowing black body.
Chen Qiqi hurriedly shouted to stop.
It seems that the earth soul is stuck in something and can't come over.
After all, Jiang An lost his earth soul when he was five years old, and now more than ten years have passed, and the fact that people are idiots and have not become living dead shows that the earth soul is just out of the body and not dead, which is a great luck in misfortune.
The two of them summed it up and felt that they should go to the pond where Jiang An was trapped to find the soul.
Chen Chu used a paper lantern to write Jiang An's birthday, and Master Jiang arranged for Jiang An to be taken care of by the ninth housekeeper, and called a catcher who had worked under him before to help take care of it.
So he and Chen Qiqi left Dafangbo Village and went to the pond more than ten years ago......
The pond is in the mountain, and the two of them are carrying lanterns around the mountain road, and the weeds alone are more than half a meter high, and Master Jiang has not entered the mountain for a long time, so he is afraid of encountering any danger, so he took a sword to defend himself.
His sword is indeed exquisite, and with a seemingly casual swing, he can easily sweep away the branches and thorns that block the way, and it looks like he has no effort at all.
Finally, after walking for half an hour, Master Jiang suddenly shouted to stop.
In addition to weeds or weeds in front of him, Master Jiang picked up a big stone from the ground and threw it forward, and the stone crossed a parabola and fell into the grass...... Plop!
There was really the sound of water, Chen Chu was secretly surprised, Master Jiang had a good memory, but if he took a dozen steps further, I was afraid that people would be planted in the pond.
Master Jiang explained.
More than ten years ago, there was a wooden pavilion on the edge of this pond, occasionally there were literati and rioters who came to the pavilion to chant poems and paint, and there were people uprisings everywhere in the Qing Dynasty behind, which made people panic and dare not run around.
The wooden pavilion had fallen into disrepair and had finally rotted down to the west base, and he pointed his sword forward, and sure enough, there was an octagonal stone seat in the grass.
Chen Chu nodded and said, then let's start directly.
He bled Mr. Jiang's index finger, lit it on the lantern on Jiang An's birthday, and signaled, Mr. Jiang cleared his throat: "Jiang An, Jiang An, come quickly, Daddy is taking you home...... Don't be naughty, where are you hiding. β
Calling the soul, when and at what age the object lost the soul, you must shout it according to the situation at the time, for example, Jiang An lost his soul at the age of five, then it should be the same as coming out to find a five-year-old child......
There was a gurgling sound in the grass.
Master Jiang raised the lantern to check, only to see that something was moving inside.
He looked at Chen Qiqi: "Chen Gongzi, is it possible that it is my son?" β
When Chen Chu heard this, he closed his left eye, revealing only his right eye, and there was a faint red light circulating in his eyes, and a vague and translucent figure gradually appeared in the grass, and he was startled.
Because there was not only one figure in the grass, but a large number of them, among which there was a gray-skinned and chubby child, with every shout of Master Jiang, he would desperately struggle out, and there was also a trace of Master Jiang's appearance between his eyebrows......
He wasn't quite sure: "Was your son so fat when he was a kid?" β
Master Jiang was overjoyed, and hurriedly said yes, Chen Chuchu took out the lotus lamp that he took from Master Sanshanzi in the real world, and put a sesame oil wick in it, lit it, and emitted a faint orange light.
It was the middle two fingers stained with a little lamp oil, touching the wick, the flames rushed to the fingers, Chen Chu slowly shook on the lantern Jiang An's eight characters and said: "The light leads the way, Jiang An, when will this matter not be returned?" β
The little fat man in the grass stiffened his body, turned into a phantom and went straight to the lantern, submerged into the wick, Chen Qiqi said that it was time to go back......
The two of them went back the way they came......
Jiang An was still sleeping on the bed, and there was a strong man in his forties standing next to him, and he only relaxed his vigilance when he saw the two of them coming back. Master Jiang began to repeat the previous shouting soul, this time inside the lantern, the soul of the little fat man came out, and when he saw the big fat man on the bed, he did not hesitate to burrow into his stomach.
Not much time.
Jiang An slowly opened his eyelids, he looked around in a daze, saw Master Jiang standing next to him, and said with a shocked expression: "Daddy, you have grown a lot of beard and a lot of wrinkles on your face!" β
Master Jiang trembled, and hurriedly hugged Jiang An into his arms: "Child, you're okay, you're really good, I'm so happy!" β
Fifteen years, fifteen years of stupid Jiang An, Master Jiang knows too well, just now Jiang An woke up and said the first sentence, he felt that this son was a little more smart......
However, he asked suspiciously, "But why does my son still seem to be a little ......?"
Chen Chuchu knew what he meant, the three souls were complete, why did he still look a little naΓ―ve, he said, fifteen years of lack of earth souls, Jiang An's whole person was confused, and he quickly forgot or only remembered one of the things he learned.
Now the person is complete, but there are still some things that have to be learned from scratch, and this time it will be soon.
Jiang An jumped out of bed and looked at his body curiously: "Daddy, you see that I have become an adult, I am almost as tall as my father, can I drink like you in the future?" β
Yes, this bear child used to stare at adults and drink, but he cherished this son very much, and he was afraid of hurting his body, so he kept prevaricating him with the excuse that he could only drink when he grew up, but he didn't expect to remember this incident.
In the following days, Master Jiang kept his promise and began to teach Chen Qiqi to learn swordsmanship, starting from the most basic and taking it seriously, but when Chen Qiqi practiced by himself.
Master Jiang disappeared as if he had evaporated, and it turned out that as long as he was free, he would take Jiang An around for a long time and teach him all kinds of common sense in life.
Now Master Jiang is no longer satisfied with the simplicity of just passing on the lineage of the Jiang family, he feels that he can live a few more years, and educate his son to become a talent in the past few years, and he does not expect him to carry forward the Jiang family, as long as he can keep this great business.
Chen Chu was immersed in the pleasure of practicing swords, Master Jiang's explanation was easy to understand, he understood the meaning after a little thought, coupled with the special medicinal bath soaking his body every three or five times, he felt that his physique was indeed improving, and his sword was sharper and faster than at the beginning......
But Chen Chuchu never forgot one thing.
That's Tang Shanshan and Tang Long, and zombies!
After Jiang An returned to normal, he became very polite to Chen Qiqi, and as long as Chen Qiqi's requirements were not excessive, he could basically meet them......
Chen Chuchu was not polite, he asked Master Jiang to purchase a large piece of mountain stone, which is a piece of thousands of catties, boxy, and needs five, and he also asked a stonemason to polish the surface of the stone smooth.
Afterwards, five of the stones were buried in the courtyard in front of the ancestral hall gate, one stone was directly below, and the other four stones were in the four directions of the east, east, west, and northwest above, so as to form a square stone cave.
After doing this, he also hired a blacksmith to make eighteen solid iron rods the thickness of a baby's arm, and then locked them firmly on the top of the stone cave with an iron frame......
Happened.
There was also news from Lou Jinnan's side.
said that he had found the Xiangxi corpse king and was coming to Dafangbo Village.
Chen Chuchu quickly met the corpse chaser king, if it wasn't for a local face, then he was dressed more like a foreign counterpart from the Western Regions......
The corpse king has been in contact with corpses all the year round, and when he came to Jiang's house and walked around, his complexion changed when he passed by the ancestral hall, saying that the corpses inside had not melted for a long time, and the evil qi had accumulated, and he had already met the conditions for corpse transformation......
Master Jiang was a little confused, he asked, are the ancestors alive?
The corpse king explained that it was not resurrection, it was a corpse transformation, the corpse became a monster without humanity, and it would attack humans by instinct, and the corpse that died for a long time still had corpse poison, and the living person was scratched or bitten, which could easily cause corpse poison infection, and become a living dead similar to the corpse to continue to attack others......
Master Jiang was silent, feeling that the dead elders of their Jiang family were sealed with wax sealing technology, and a time-varying bomb was sealed......
But these are elders, and he doesn't know what to do.
Originally, his son was an idiot, and it didn't matter if he could still mess up, but now that his son is normal, he must face up to these problems, if one day he also dies.
The son was eating with his daughter-in-law in his arms, and was suddenly bitten by a group of corpsed ancestors, so the problem was too big......
The King of Corpses said that corpse transformation is actually not a big problem, the most terrible thing is that kind of old corpses, absorbing a large amount of Yin Qi on the ground and magnetic fields do not decay, becoming invulnerable zombies!
If he encounters this kind of thing, then he can only escape as the king of Xiangxi corpses, no way, who calls him the king of corpses instead of zombies......
Chen Chu invited him to come, of course, he didn't expect him to single-handedly kill the zombies in the General's Grave.
It's that the corpse king has been in contact with corpses all his life, and he is definitely much more professional than them in some aspects, and learning more experience can make Chen Chuchu more confident in calculating zombies......
Half a month has come.
Jiang An's time to marry Tang Shanshan is at night, there is no way, if his wife dies, then marrying a new wife must be carried out at night, Jiang An has died several wives, and he must be in the middle of the night!
