Chapter 88, Ghost Swallower
The three of them were stunned for a moment, looked at each other, and then laughed out loud at the same time.
Qian Zhukuai patted Li Chengjing's shoulder and said with a smile: "You kid, you have a temper with me, it's a pity to just stay here as a guard of Yizhuang." ”
Li Chengjing pretended to smile bitterly and said: "I understand your kindness, but I have fled here, and the road guide has been lost on the road, and the yamen did not treat me as a mountain man to serve the hardships, I am already very satisfied, and I dare not have more extravagant hopes." ”
Wang Zhu smiled and said: "What is this, how long has our Daqing court been in chaos, that is, our Hongcheng is far away from the northern battlefield, not to mention, the wind and rain are smooth, but the refugees who have fled here outside have gone to the sea, and whoever flees has to prepare road guides and other things." It's all trifles. ”
"Moreover, it's not bad for you to choose such an errand, although the reputation of making dead man's money is not very good, but it is full of oil and water. Go to the kiln a few times on weekdays, save more money, and then our brothers will be able to help you get your household registration right, if you are willing to spend your blood, it is not impossible for you to enter the yamen as an errand. ”
Qian Zhukuai did not refute, but said: "That's a good point. But you don't have to expect six rooms. But there was no big problem with the third class of officials. ”
Li Chengjing pretended to be bright, and thanked him very excitedly.
The two also knew that Li Chengjing, a distressed household who had just come here, had absolutely no money, and what he said now was somewhat true, and it was not a fraud.
The corpse bearer quickly walked out.
The three of them said goodbye to Li Chengjing and left directly.
"Master, these two catchers didn't have a good idea, and they seem to be ready to trap you!" June appeared beside Li Chengjing and said with a frown.
Li Chengjing smiled and said: "It's not too bad, now our longevity material business here is in the hands of Li Zhukuai, there must be rules in the yamen, so it is not easy for them to interfere." Now give me some promises, and if I really want to go in the future, if I find them, I can get a lot of money from them. It is estimated that it can be done. ”
June smiled, "If they knew that they were calculating a monk, I don't know what kind of expression they would have. ”
Li Chengjing waved his hand and said, "Don't look down on the mortals under the mountain, in my opinion, the strongest Taoist technique in the world is not the wind and rain on the mountain, and the stars are moving." It is the moisturizing things of mortals who are silent, manipulating the authority of the world. ”
"That's also the Dao Law?"
"Doesn't count?" Li Chengjing closed the door with a smile, came to the outside of the room, thought about it, pushed open the door and walked in.
Li Chengjing had never come in this room before, so he looked around.
I found that this room was very simple, except for a shrine dedicated to an unknown god, a few simple wooden beds covered with straw mats, and a pair of tables and chairs.
On one of the wooden beds, a corpse dressed in silk was lying at the moment, but its face was simply covered with a rag.
The hands on the abdomen were bloodless, sallow as if they were prosthetic hands.
Li Chengjing, who is accustomed to seeing corpses, knows that this is the color of human skin after a large amount of blood loss.
But strangely, there was no blood stain on the woman's body, and if it was a large amount of blood, her body would have been soaked with blood.
As for the fact that it was the new clothes that were changed before sending the corpse here, it was also very likely, except for this kind of case of untimely death, the arrester would never allow the other party to do so, even if it cost money, the corpse zombie would prevent them from changing the woman's mind.
Looking at this decent dress, it is definitely not the kind of fat and wide shroud.
That's weird.
Li Chengjing curiously lifted the linen covering her face, and suddenly an extremely distorted and terrifying face came into view, and her facial features seemed to be deformed, and she couldn't see a human appearance at all.
It can be seen how painful she suffered before her death.
"Huh!" June sighed.
"What's wrong? What did you find? ”
June nodded and said, "Master, this person's soul is trapped in the body. ”
"Sleepy?" Li Chengjing asked suspiciously.
After death, the soul of heaven returns to heaven, the soul of the earth enters the underworld, and the soul of man remains in the world, and the seven spirits will be annihilated together with the collapse of the land of life, turning into the purest vitality of heaven and earth.
So, if there are mortals of yin and yang, it can be seen that there will be ghosts wandering around the people who have just died.
Hearing June say this, Li Chengjing finally thought about why he felt that this corpse was a little strange.
When he saw the corpse, he didn't see her wandering spirit around her.
In the hall of Xiangyizhuang, there were many sluggish earth souls wandering around the corpses at this moment, waiting for Yin to come and take them away.
June is a ghost, and he is more sensitive and understanding of souls than Li Chengjing.
So the first time I saw this corpse, I found that something was wrong.
"It seems that this woman did not die in the act of killing people, but at the hands of monsters and ghosts." Li Chengjing muttered to himself.
This method of trapping people's souls in the body is not very advanced, and even mortals who know some local methods can do it, but this woman died in a strange way, as if she had been drained of blood, which is not something that mortals can do.
In short, the woman died at the hands of evil creatures.
Understanding this, Li Chengjing began to inspect the surface of the corpse, and soon found a small section of black wooden nails in the place of the corpse's Baihui acupoint.
Gently pulled it out, and the next moment, a murmur and roar instantly sounded in Li Chengjing's ears.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me! Don't kill me! ”
That voice was simply a magic sound, and Li Chengjing's brows furrowed when he heard it.
Enraged, June reached out and pulled an illusory woman directly from the corpse.
The woman's eyes were glazed, her expression was distorted with fear, and she cried out, "Don't kill me, don't kill me!" ”
Even the soul is crazy.
Li Chengjing was bored and said, "Stuff it back, like this, I can't figure out how she died!" ”
June was stunned for a moment and asked, "The master wants to know how she died?" ”
Li Chengjing smiled: "It's just curious, it doesn't matter if you know it or not." ”
June smiled: "It's simple, as long as June swallows her, you can digest part of her memory!" ”
"Can you devour ghosts?"
June smiled shyly and said, "June is stepping on the Shinto, this kind of little trick is very simple. June was bored, so he figured it out on his own. It's just that the memory deficit obtained by this method is very serious, and there is no guarantee that she will be able to see the memory of her death. ”
After making sure that June would not be affected by this woman's memory, Li Chengjing nodded in agreement.
It was the first time he had seen a Ghost Eater.
Immediately, he kept pulling the woman with both hands, as if kneading paper, and kept rubbing the woman's soul, but in a moment, the woman's soul was kneaded into a pill, and then directly thrown into his mouth.
"Is that okay?" Li Chengjing was dumbfounded.
And June, after devouring the woman's soul again, closed his eyes, opened them after a moment, and said in amazement: "I saw a strange bird with nine heads!" ”
