Chapter III: The Law of Substitution
"Brother He, this is this thing, and it is this jade pendant that the master asked me to give." Liu Laoliu shouted loudly, and there was still greed in his eyes, "At that time, I thought this jade pendant was good." ”
I took a deep breath, barely suppressed the fear in my heart, and said in a cold tone, "You like this jade pendant, right?" I'll give it to you as a funeral gift. ”
A trace of anger flashed on Liu Laoliu's face, and he immediately sneered: "Brother He, where are you, I'm just curious." ”
"Don't think I'm threatening you." I sighed, "This jade pendant appeared in my store, whether it was you or me, I wouldn't survive tonight." ”
After saying this, I was also sad, and I almost couldn't hold back my tears.
Liu Laoliu's eyes widened suddenly, his breathing became short, and he asked tremblingly, "Brother He, are you...... You're not kidding me, are you? ”
"You're just kidding me." I sat back in my chair weakly, "At least, you'll have a few more hours to live." ”
Liu Lao Liu was also a little angry: "What the hell is going on with He Ziwu?" ”
I didn't get angry this time, because he was already sure that the other party was coming at me, and Liu Lao Liu was implicated by me.
"This thing is called Tiangong Blood Pendant, do you see the pattern on the front? The meaning of the expression is the heavenly palace. If you smell closely, you can also smell the smell of blood, which is said to be the smell left on it by the souls accumulated over countless years. I explained with a bitter face, "This thing is a taboo for our Huangquan postman, as long as anyone who receives this jade pendant will not live to the time of the Son of Heaven." ”
Liu Lao Liu asked anxiously: "What does that have to do with me?" This jade pendant is not for me. ”
"But you are a sacrifice of the Heavenly Palace's blood pendant, so you will also die." I said with a wry smile.
When did the Tiangong blood pendant appear, no one knows, the first to use it was the Huangquan postman in the late Ming Dynasty, that person used the jade pendant to kill the enemy's entire family of seventy-six people in one night in order to take revenge, which shocked the government and the opposition at that time.
Subsequently, the Tiangong Blood Pendant appeared many times one after another, and each appearance was accompanied by many deaths, and its use method also spread.
Its practical method is also very simple, first use the blood of the Heavenly Palace to warm it with human blood for forty-nine days, and then find a Huangquan postman to send the blood pendant of the Heavenly Palace out, and countless ghosts who have died under the blood pendant will come out of the blood pendant and kill the person who received the blood pendant and everyone present.
As for Liu Laoliu, originally this matter had nothing to do with him, but unluckily, when I sent the blood pendant to the family in Guangming Community, he gave it to me.
The Heavenly Palace Blood Pendant is extremely vicious, and the user will be counterattacked, which is the so-called blood sacrifice.
However, under normal circumstances, the blood pendant should not be used until midnight, why did he kill that family in advance this time?
Liu Laoliu's face turned pale, he didn't understand so much, he just asked: "You mean to say that we will all be killed by this jade pendant?" ”
"That's right, and you're going to die a terrible death." There was a hint of desperation in my tone.
Liu Lao Liu grabbed the Tiangong Blood Pendant: "I'll smash it!" ”
I sighed and said: "It's useless, this thing looks like a jade pendant, but no one knows what material it is, and there are countless powerful ghosts sealed inside. ”
"Throw it out then?" Liu Laoliu proposed.
"Even if you throw it into space, the ghosts will come to us." I said helplessly.
Liu Lao Liu was like a mourner: "Then what should I do?" I don't want to die yet. ”
"I don't want to die either." I sighed.
Liu Laoliu looked at me with a look of hope: "Brother He, you are the Huangquan postman, so you have the word Huangquan, is there really no way at all?" ”
"If my grandfather is still alive, he may be ......an old man" Speaking of this, I suddenly recalled one thing, and immediately pointed to Liu Laoliu's nose and said, "You wait here, maybe there is still the possibility of fighting for your life, remember not to go, otherwise you will die,"
Then, I hurriedly turned around and walked inside.
The first floor of this shop is the front face, and the second floor is a normal one-bedroom room.
I went up the innermost staircase to the second floor, pulled out a large box from under the bed in my bedroom, and then took out the key hanging around my neck to open the box and take out a small wooden box from inside.
This box only has a crack in the middle, and if you don't look closely, you will definitely think that this thing is solid.
I bit my index finger and wrote the word "meridian" in the ghost script that my grandfather taught.
"Click."
The gap in the middle of the box immediately widened, and it split in two, revealing an inch-thick ancient book inside.
On the cover of the ancient book, the word "Tibetan Heaven" is written.
This is the most important relic left to me by my grandfather, and there are many Yin Si methods and secrets written in it, but I really don't have any talent, and I can't practice the above methods well, so I simply gave up.
Now that life and death are at stake, I can only hope to find a solution to the Heavenly Palace Blood Pei from the book.
Quickly flipped to the page of Tiangong Blood Pei, I knew the introduction of this thing very clearly, so I didn't look closely, and turned directly to the back, when I saw the word "no solution", my heart was like being grabbed by someone, and it was so uncomfortable that it was difficult to breathe.
However, further down, I saw that there was another line of small print.
This line of words was obviously added by later generations, and it is a note, and the small print reads, "Use the substitution method or you can try it." ”
Substitution?
I think it was written in the book.
Thinking of this, I hurriedly flipped through it again, found the page of the substitution method, and read it carefully.
The so-called substitution method is divided into two types, one is "life substitution" and the other is "soul substitution".
The "life" in the first type of life substitution refers to the life grid, which is simply to exchange the fortune of two people, for example, to exchange the emperor's life for a beggar, the beggar may not be able to become the emperor in the end, but with this life, he can definitely become a hegemon.
For example, if a person is dying, if he exchanges his soul mark with another person, then the ghost will take the soul with his soul mark as if he took it away.
"Substitute the law of life, fate for deceiving the sky, soul for deceiving the earth, the user will be punished by heaven!"
That's the last sentence on this page.
I was so frightened by these words that I didn't think about learning at all, but if I don't condemn it today, it's a matter of later, and I have to live through tonight first.
If you want to escape the fierce ghost of the Heavenly Palace, you don't need to think about it to know that you have to use the method of "soul replacement".
However, it is unlikely that I will find someone to exchange soul seals with me, and I will not be happy in my own heart, after all, there is no reason to let someone else die for me.
Fortunately, there is a note left by predecessors on this page, saying that it can be reluctantly replaced by a rooster.
The question is, it's already past nine o'clock in the evening, where do I go to find a rooster?
I didn't have time to think too much, so I rolled up the ancient book and stuck it in my trouser pocket, and hurriedly ran downstairs, ready to call Liu Lao Liu to find two big roosters.
As a result, something that made me dumbfounded happened, Liu Lao Liu's bastard thing actually ran away by himself!
The piece of Tiangong blood pendant was still on the table, and it was estimated that he didn't have the courage to take it.
"It's really looking for death!" I scolded viciously.
I've already told him not to leave, there may be a glimmer of life if he stays with me, who knows if he doesn't believe me.
At this time, I didn't bother to go to him, so I hurriedly put on my bicycle and ran towards the vegetable market, hoping that those merchants selling chickens and ducks would sleep in the market at night.
