Later, I learned that the corpse wax that Uncle Huo Wang mentioned was a kind of ointment refined with corpse oil and many medicinal herbs, which had the miraculous effect of warding off evil spirits and preventing ghosts from coming on the body.

In the process of painting corpses, the corpse painter will inevitably encounter some people who died in vain, and it is not easy to have an accident if he smears some ancient wax on his body before painting the corpse.

The second thing Uncle Huowang is looking for is this corpse ancient wax.

The secret recipe for refining corpse wax is the mastery of the corpse painter, and it will not be passed on.

And because this corpse ancient wax is very precious, so the old man Bai will be this performance.

Although Old Man Bai was very angry, Uncle Huo Wang and I refused to leave, and he couldn't do anything about us.

In the end, he simply said: "Cheng, if you want to stay here, just stay, anyway, don't think about that thing." ”

After saying that, he went into the back room and went about his business.

Uncle Huo Wang originally wanted to spend so much time with him, but after staying for a while, he felt bored, so he took me into the back room to see what the old man was doing.

I saw a female corpse parked in the center of the room, her body was covered with a white cloth, her abdomen was high and bulging, it seemed to be a pregnant woman, but the white cloth covering her body was full of blood.

At this time, the old man Bai was holding a corpse pen in his hand, and he was looking at the face of the female corpse with a solemn expression.

Uncle Huo Wang seemed to see something unusual on the side, and said in a low voice: "Lao Bai, what's the situation?" ”

The old man sighed.

"Ah, the debt."

Then he told the origin of the woman's corpse, which turned out to be a girl from a neighboring village, and had just turned eighteen this year.

But she suddenly had a big belly in Layue last year.

You must know that in that closed mountain village, it is not a trivial matter for a girl's family to get pregnant before marriage, and in the old society, it was to be immersed in a pig cage.

After the incident, her parents thought that she had ruined the lintel and immediately sought out the adulterer.

But this girl always said that she didn't do that outrageous thing, and she didn't know why she had a big belly.

Her parents naturally didn't believe it and thought she was hard-mouthed.

In the end, the girl was forced to have no choice, and one day in front of everyone, she used a pair of scissors to cut open her stomach to prove her innocence.

As a result, there was indeed no child in the belly, and she was not pregnant at all, but there was a big sarcoma in the belly.

Uncle Huo Wang's face immediately changed after hearing this, and said, "Lao Bai, you want money crazy, even dare to take on this short-lived ghost's job?" ”

Short-lived ghosts, in Feng Shui, refer to young boys or girls who have not yet started a family, and this kind of person is still cloudy and can easily transform after death.

The corpses of short-lived ghosts can often only be buried by the river, and if they are buried in ordinary dry land, there is often a vision that the corpse does not decay all year round.

Doing white things, whether it is a corpse painter like Old Man Bai, a big man, or a coffin bearer, it is very taboo for short-lived ghosts.

Sometimes people are reluctant to take jobs when they are given a lot of money.

And this short-lived ghost, not only died before he became an adult, but also died with hatred, this kind of work is logically said that no one dares to take it.

At this time, the old man Bai said: "I am only a corpse painter in these ten miles and eight towns, and I can still take it if I don't accept it."

This female doll is already pitiful, so she can't be allowed to fall into the ground like this. ”

After speaking, he carefully lifted the white cloth on the female corpse, trying to stitch up the wound on her stomach.

But before he started, the old man hesitated, and then took out a bamboo tube from his arms, and took out some snow-white wax cream inside.

Wipe them on your hands and face.

That's how you dare to do it.

At this time, Uncle Huo Wang said on the side: "Lao Bai, if I don't give you a shot, you can divide the corpse ancient wax with me later." ”

"Fart, flash me aside."

So we stood by and watched him handle the woman's corpse, and as he stitched up the wound stitch by stitch, the atmosphere in the room seemed to become more and more eerie, and it was already dark by this time.

The old man Bai stitched up the wound, picked up the paint and was about to paint her dead makeup, but when the first stroke went down from the center of his eyebrows, the female corpse actually opened her eyes.

The dead man opens his eyes, which cannot be said to be absent in the corpse painter's business, but it is rare enough.

The old man Bai, who was full of confidence just now, couldn't help wiping a cold sweat at this time.

"His grandmother's, this money is really not easy to earn."

Maybe it was because of the ancient wax of the corpse, but the old man Bai still didn't take his hand after that.

According to the rules of the corpse painter, when he saw the dead man open his eyes, he first closed his eyes and clapped his hands three times, and then silently recited some incantations in the independent posture of the golden rooster.

I think it's a bit funny.

After finishing the matter, he had the courage to wipe it on the face of the female corpse and help her close her eyes, but as soon as he put down the pen, his eyes opened again.

The old man hesitated, and I was scared when I stood aside.

"Uncle Huowang......"

I glanced back, but Uncle Huo Wang was holding his hands calmly.

The old man swallowed.

"Girl, the old man is here to send you off for the last time, so that you can walk decently, don't bite Lu Dongbin and don't know good people."

After speaking, he helped the female corpse finish painting the dead man's makeup when she opened her eyes.

It looked like it was over, but then something even weirder happened.

At this time, there was a sudden thunderclap outside, and the female corpse sat up directly, and directly grabbed the neck of the old man Bai with both hands.

The old guy panicked all of a sudden, and hurriedly shouted: "Sun Huowang, what are you doing in a daze, hurry up!" ”

Uncle Huo Wang smiled knowingly.

"What, do you want to give or not to give the corpse ancient wax I just said?"

"If you have suffered a thousand cuts, you still have the heart to mention this matter at this time, and Lao Tzu can't give it to you."

Seeing that the old guy was pinched by the female corpse, his eyes turned white, and at this time, Uncle Huo Wang suddenly rushed forward, and took out a paper talisman out of nowhere, spat and pasted it directly on the female corpse's head.

She was immediately restrained and let go of her hand, but there was still a tendency to struggle.

Seeing this, Uncle Huo Wang took out a grapefruit leaf from his bag again, wrapped a soul egg and stuffed it into the female corpse's mouth, she was completely honest this time.
