Chapter 29: Stealing Life (2)
After reading the text message, the heavy stone in my heart finally fell to the ground.
After eating, Zhang Qiang and I went back to school and helped Jiang Ke and me ask for leave.
The reason is that Jiang Ke is sick, the high fever does not go away, and it takes a week to be hospitalized, and I am accompanied, it is a diagnosis certificate that Yan Shuyuan found someone to prescribe, and even the teaching director can't see any loopholes.
"Okay, then Jiang Ke will leave it to you." It was the first time that the Dean of Students had been so polite to me.
"I've known Coco for so long, I already treat her as my own sister, director, don't worry, I will take good care of her."
I'm not going to let her have anything to do.
When he got home, Yan Shuyuan was already sitting on the sofa, resting with his eyes closed, and sitting next to him was Jiang Ke's cousin, Du Ai.
"Shhh, the young master is tired, you let him rest for a while."
"Okay." I nodded, turned around and walked to the balcony, but I didn't expect Du Ai to follow, "You know about Coco?" ”
Outside the window in early spring, there was a lot of life, which was in stark contrast to the lifeless Jiang Ke in the room.
"Yes." Du Ai nodded, "Just now I accompanied Young Master Yan to find the third uncle, I know that you want to save Coco, whether you treat me as an assistant or a friend, this matter, count me in." ”
"Okay." I nodded, without any reason to refuse.
Yan Shuyuan didn't sleep long, and after waking up, he told me everything about his return.
When they went back, Uncle Liao was getting up, and he was happy that Yan Shuyuan went back to see him, but he didn't expect to go back to ask for advice on how to steal his life, and after knowing that we had trouble outside, he was angry enough.
Although these were all perfunctory by Yan Shuyuan.
But the tiredness of his body, and the wrinkles in his knees, I knew that he didn't get this solution so easily.
Later, Uncle Liao told me the real situation.
Stealing one's life is against the sky, and it is not permissible for extraordinary people to do it.
Back then, Uncle Liao was able to exchange the rooster for my grandfather's life, which has been counterattacked, and in recent years, his health has become worse and worse, and at that time, my grandfather still had a breath, which was much easier than a real dead man stealing his life.
And Jiang Ke has already left his body, and he has long been dead.
If you want to change, you have to use trickery.
Trickery is a taboo in their profession, if Uncle Liao has a sect, he will abolish his cultivation and expel him from the sect because of the matter of saving my grandfather, but fortunately, Uncle Liao is just a carefree old man and doesn't care about these rules at all.
In addition, the matter is not serious, and few people know about it, so it has not caused any splash in this industry.
But what Yan Shuyuan and I have to do is much more serious.
Yan Shuyuan knelt in the ancestral hall at that time, begging Third Uncle Liao to hand over the trick to save Jiang Ke, and after the matter was completed, he was willing to abolish the identity of Third Uncle Liao's closed disciple.
This remark made the third uncle angry again.
A closed disciple he finally found had not been teaching for a few years, and then he had abandoned himself? Isn't this a waste of his hard work for so long?
After thinking about it in the house, I gritted my teeth, isn't it just a trick, let these young people build it, and turn it upside down!
After Yan Shuyuan told me the method, I realized why it is called trickery, and it is also called a partial door.
First of all, we wanted to hold a funeral for Coco, and the location of the funeral, we chose a funeral home in the county seat.
When the funeral home received our list, it felt very strange, because there were only three relatives of the deceased, namely Yan Shuyuan and me, and Du Ai.
And the three of us have more important things to do, so we paid some more people to cry for Coco.
The so-called crying and mourning, there is also a saying, that is, to tell 'heaven', 'earth', this person is dead, and the family is also very sad, after crying, it is to burn paper, what paper to burn, burn Yinwen, burn Yinwen to the underworld, let the king of Hades have a registration, so that the ghost is ready to pick up people.
On the seventh day, after the deceased goes home to see his relatives, that is, after the first seven returns, he will return to the cemetery, through the yin and yang door of the tombstone, to the underworld, and accept the guidance of the imp to go to the underworld to report.
The first six days were fine, we just need to protect Coco's corpse from breaking, and the focus is on the seventh day.
On the seventh day, we will let Coco's soul lie down in our body, at this time, the body and soul will not merge, and the next step, I will smear Coco's whole body with rooster blood, so that the oni will not find out that this is a dead person, and will mistake Jiang Ke covered in rooster blood for a living person.
Although Jiang Kedi's soul will feel very uncomfortable, she must endure it, otherwise, once she is discovered by the ghost, she will be taken away, not to mention, a few of us who stop the ghost will definitely not end well!
When the ghost can't find Jiang Ke's soul, he will think that Jiang Ke is just fake his death, and we living people have made a mistake, and then we will return to the underworld.
As long as it goes back and rescues Coco, it will be successful, and the so-called stealing life is equivalent to stealing life by trickery.
But when it came to the seventh day, no one was so calm.
The blood of the rooster had smeared all over Coco's body, and I could clearly see through the yin and yang eyes that Coco's soul was biting her lip uncomfortably.
It's already nine o'clock in the evening, and there are still three hours to go, and as soon as it's past 12 o'clock, Coco will come back to life.
There was silence in the mourning hall, and Yan Shuyuan and I sat on both sides of the coffin, dragging two red threads wet with cinnabar and black dog blood in our hands, and these two red threads crossed to block Jiang Ke in the coffin.
It's kind of an insurance line of defense that we've made.
Because this trick has never been used by others, what if the ghost cha finds Jiang Ke's soul lying in his body and wants to detain her?
Therefore, this line of defense is to prevent ghosts, so that she can't touch Jiang Ke's soul.
Of course, Jiang Ke can't touch this red line.
"Here we are." Du Ai's eyes were already dripping with tears, helping us to carefully observe the direction of the ghost.
Of course, Yan Shuyuan and I can also see it.
I saw a black figure, holding a thick iron chain in both hands to enter the door, and as he walked, the iron chain dragged on the ground, making a collision sound.
"Where is Jiang Ke?"
Onicha walked over to the coffin and looked around.
The three of us were disguised as night watchmen at this time, Yan Shuyuan and I were crying, and Du Ai was burning paper money behind me.
"Where is Jiang Ke?"
Onicha-sama screamed again.
My heart jumped, no, Jiang Ke heard the voice of the call, and actually wanted to struggle out of his body.
Fortunately, she already had a soul-fixing talisman drawn by Yan Shuyuan on her body.
"Jiang Ke!"
