Volume 1 Sacrifice to the Corpse to the Mountain Chapter 11 White Tiger Whisker
Zhang Shouyu put on his robe and came to the window, and saw several villagers slowly passing by the courtyard with night lights.
Under the flickering lights, they could be seen holding several thick stacks of yellow paper under their armpits, which were supposed to be incense money used to commemorate the deceased.
This is a common "sending god" gift among the people of Northeast China.
Once a relative dies in the family, after 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, someone in the family will go out with paper money. After going out, keep walking north, come to the first intersection, and burn all the paper money in your hand.
This custom has existed in the three eastern provinces since ancient times, and the customs of different regions are slightly different. This area of Heilongjiang pays attention to "yin people send yin", that is, the person who burns paper money must be a woman, and the man's yang energy cannot be mixed. When burning paper, a large circle will be drawn on the ground, and the paper in the circle is for the deceased relatives, and a few sheets will be thrown out of the circle, which is to give some money to the lonely souls and wild ghosts, so as to prevent the lonely souls and wild ghosts from competing with their relatives.
It is expected that the women who went out to send God at this time should all be among the six families who died two days ago.
The more Zhang Shouyu looked at it, the more sour his heart became, after all, if he really had a good tomorrow night, who would be able to send him some paper money?
About half an hour later, several women who had sent the gods returned one after another.
Zhang Shouyu had been watching them pass by the courtyard wall, and he was still a little sad in his heart, but the next moment he suddenly noticed a detail, which made his mouth full of aftertaste-
If he was not mistaken, one of these women who sent the gods did not burn the paper money, but returned to the village with the paper money intact!
Send gods without burning paper, fooling ghosts?
If this is the case, this act is even more blasphemous than burning newspapers on a grave. Zhang Shouyu couldn't help but lean closer to the window frame and glanced a few more times in the direction where the women left.
"One, two, three, four...... Heptad? ”
"Six families died two days ago, and now there is one more imposter with paper that is not burned...... It's kind of interesting. ”
Zhang Shouyu glanced at the room where Situ Ling was, and seemed to understand something for a while.
If what he expected, the woman who was mixed up in it should be Situ Ling's scout, and she deliberately sent God out in the middle of the night under the pretense of sending God out, God knows what inconvenient "information" was exchanged without God knowing!
Now in the White Tiger Village, Situ Ling has his hands covering the sky, except that he really can't think of a second behind-the-scenes command. Zhang Shouyu took all this in and quietly returned to the bed to meditate cross-legged.
That night, there were no more waves.
The next day, he was unharmed during the day, and Situ Ling occasionally came to see him. Zhang Shouyu and his good voice should be reconciled, but both sides have a hundred hearts, and their words are not leaky, so naturally they have no taste to chat.
At night, there was still nothing to do, but Zhang Shouyu's heart was in his throat.
He didn't dare to take it lightly at all, after all, the calculation results were there, and tonight would be the last opportunity to complete the ritual of sacrificing the corpse to the mountain.
At one o'clock in the morning, there was silence.
At two o'clock in the morning, the lights in Situ Ling's room had not yet been extinguished.
Just after three o'clock in the morning, a sharp knock on the door broke the dead silence.
"Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang! ”
"Chief, come out and take a look!"
It was Situ Ling who shouted, and before Zhang Shouyu could figure out the situation, he was dragged to the courtyard by Situ Ling, who rushed into the house.
"Master Situ, what are you doing?"
"It's not me, it's my sister, she's ...... Something happened! ”
"What did you say?"
Zhang Shouyu was slightly stunned when he heard this, and Situ Ling still looked anxious, but he didn't know how sincere he was.
He dragged Zhang Shouyu to the room where his sister was, and pointed to the threshold below. Zhang Shouyu took a look and found that there were many things with silver light floating on the ground.
Strands of hair, like human hair.
Zhang Shouyu bent down to pick up the "hair", twisted it in his hand and looked at it a few times, and then frowned and quickly threw it out.
"What are you doing?"
Situ Ling subconsciously took over the "hair", but Zhang Shouyu scolded sharply, and knocked all the "hair" in his hand to the ground.
"This is a white tiger beard, a hoodoo that cannot be touched!"
"White Tiger Whiskers?"
Situ Ling, who believes in science, obviously does not understand this kind of thing.
"The three northeastern provinces are located in the white tiger in the direction of the four elephants, and the white tiger whisker is said to be the transformation of the mountain god, and the person who gets the white tiger whisker can see the nature and the previous life, and if he sees the white bones, it is a great joy. If you see 10,000 taels of gold, your head will fall to the ground! ”
"What do you mean, Xiaodao Chief, could it be that this beard can make people hallucinate?"
"Don't talk lightly, it's better to touch less, where did this thing come from?"
Zhang Shouyu was extremely taboo about the white tiger whiskers, and Situ Ling also bypassed those whiskers when he heard the words. He wiped his delicate three-and-seven-point hair, and put the bangs that had fallen off on his forehead back again.
"I don't know, I just heard a strange noise in my sister's room, and I wanted to ask her if she was okay, but I found that the door was locked, and then I saw these whiskers. Chief, what did you see just now holding your beard? ”
Situ Ling seemed to be asking for warmth, but he always felt awkward in Zhang Shouyu's ears. Zhang Shouyu was also the first time to see this kind of legendary thing, and as soon as he wanted to answer, he felt dizzy, and Situ Ling in front of him also began to have sporadic ghosting.
"Is there really something wrong with this beard......"
Before the words fell, a strange laugh interrupted the two of them, and the voice came from the room where the younger sister was.
Haha
In the middle of the night, the fog was heavy, the snow was soaking, and the laughter in the old houses in the dark mountain village was treacherous, which couldn't help but make Zhang Shouyu's scalp tingle.
"Sister, if you don't come out again, I'm going to break in!"
Situ Ling has always been resolute in doing things, and when he saw that the door had not been opened for a long time in the house, he immediately took out a pistol and pointed it at the door lock, which was two explosions!
Bang!
Bang!
The heavy lock crumbled, and the door creaked open a large corner.
The two of them outside the house were very cautious, and did not choose to rush in at the first time, but watched and visited through the dim light in the house.
"No one?"
Situ Ling looked at it for a long time and found that it was empty, and from the moment he shot just now, the gloomy laughter in the room also stopped abruptly.
At this moment, the house looks like a lonely tomb.
"Xiaodao Chief, you are a pedantic, go up and take a look!"
Situ Ling ignored Zhang Shouyu's mental illness, and Zhang Shouyu was naturally reluctant in his heart, but the revolver with four bullets left had already resisted his backbone.
"Adjutant Situ, you also touched the white tiger whiskers just now, why are you okay?"
Zhang Shouyu was forced to pace forward while muttering something to Situ Ling.
After saying this, he immediately regretted it, after all, if this white tiger beard was really Situ Ling's trouble, it would be tantamount to causing trouble for himself to say it openly now. However, at this moment, Zhang Shouyu is already in a daze, and if he is very young and meditates on the Tao, I am afraid that he will have fallen to the ground and fallen into a coma.
Zhang Shouyu came to the door slowly, and was just about to raise his feet and walk inside, when a miserable white smiling face suddenly appeared in front of him the next moment, so frightened that he almost vomited out the day's fast!
"Ahhh
Zhang Shouyu was so frightened that he immediately retreated, and Situ Ling's subordinates also came at this moment, and the entire courtyard was surrounded by live ammunition. But even so, Zhang Shouyu was still nervous and trembling, after all, he knew in his heart that there were some "things" that these foreign guns couldn't solve!
"Xiaodao Chief, what are you panicking about?"
Situ Ling came to Zhang Shouyu with a solemn face and scolded loudly.
"White face! Just had a human face! White face! ”
"What are you talking about, where are you having a face?"
Situ Ling pointed at the direction of the door with his gun, Zhang Shouyu looked over again, and sure enough, he didn't find any clues.
"That's not right...... I just saw a human face! ”
"Won't you be dazzled?"
"Nope! It's true! ”
"I don't see it, Xiaodao, it's the dead of night right now, you better not talk nonsense. Hey, you guys, did you just see a human face? ”
Situ Ling asked the sergeant of the Quartet, and the soldiers who raised their guns and aimed shook their heads blankly.
Didn't see any of them!
Seeing this, Zhang Shouyu felt a chill in his heart, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and couldn't help but start to doubt himself.
"Xiaodao Chief, since you said that you saw a human face, then let me ask you, is she a man or a woman, is she a sister?"
"I don't know...... I didn't see it clearly. ”
"Since that's the case, don't be scared, look at you, talk baldly, where else is the aura of the fairy wind bone."
Situ Ling's expression was still calm, but the bangs on his forehead had fallen again.
"Well, since you haven't seen it clearly, let's go up and take a look."
The pistol was again pressed against the back of Zhang Shouyu's backbone.
Zhang Shouyu knew that he could not avoid it today, so he could only move forward head-on. As he walked, he recalled the eight secret techniques that Master had taught him, starting from touching those white tiger whiskers, he found that his head was a mess, and he couldn't think of anything for a while!
What to do?
In a panic, Zhang Shouyu came to the threshold of his sister's room again.
Take a deep breath and step over the threshold.
A Shenzi fire talisman was tightly pinched in Zhang Shouyu's hand, which was the "evil spirit" method he practiced the most in the mountains in the past. It's just that whether it works or not, he doesn't have any score in his heart at all.
Inside, the front is greeted by an old New Year's painting of a doll holding a koi, an incense case below, two candlesticks on it, and an old "cuckoo" cigarette case.
Looking left and right, the room was empty, except for a table and a bed.
"What's going on......"
Zhang Shouyu shook his head and made a safe gesture towards Situ Ling behind him. Seeing this, Situ Ling also walked into the house, and frowned when he saw that there was no one around.
"It's strange, the guards are extremely tightly guarded today, and it is impossible for my sister to come out of this house. Wait a minute, there's a ...... on the ground Water stains? ”
Situ Ling slowly squatted down, and Zhang Shouyu also noticed the water stains in his mouth, and immediately squatted down to take a look.
About three paces away from the threshold, there was indeed a puddle of liquid remaining. It just looked extremely hot, with wisps of bright green smoke, and it didn't take long for the ground to corrode into irregular holes.
The two of them looked at each other, unable to see what it was.
While they were hesitating, a few more drops of "water" slashed through the center of the tips of the two people's noses, and several yellow holes with white gas appeared on the ground.
"This color seems to be calcium sulfate at a very high temperature, and the taste is a bit like formalin and potassium hydroxide, what do you think?"
Situ Ling likes to tinker with these scientific research terms the most, and he hurriedly took out his experimental gloves from his pocket, but the next moment he was held down by Zhang Shouyu.
"What are you doing?"
"I said Master Situ, you'd better put away your research momentum first, I think it's ......."
Zhang Shouyu's face became more and more pale at the moment, he swallowed a big mouthful of saliva, and then slowly raised a finger and poked it lightly in the direction of the roof above.
"I think...... Shouldn't you look up first...... Take a look......"
