Chapter 17: The Resurrection of the Dead
The second uncle's tone was very serious, there was no joke, my scalp was numb, and I made lanterns from the skin of a living person, what kind of person would do this?
My heart was beating hard, and I said to my second uncle with a miserable face, "With those two lanterns guarding, can't we get in?" ”
"Not necessarily."
The second uncle frowned and thought for a while, and suddenly had an idea, took out a white candle, and a copper mirror, put it on the ground and said,
"Later, I will set up two ghost slaves in the human skin lamp, so that they can't ventilate and report the news, you take the opportunity to go around to the backyard, first find out who the village chief is meeting with, and then talk about what you have talked about."
"Hmm!"
I nodded vigorously, but my heart was still very unsettled, and I looked at the two human skin lanterns with a worried face, not knowing what method the second uncle would use to deal with them.
I saw the second uncle put his middle finger into his mouth, bit the blood mark with his teeth, and it didn't hurt, he directly dipped his middle finger in blood, wrote and drew on the bronze mirror, and made a lot of twisted lines.
These lines are outlined together to form a quirky pattern.
Then the second uncle lit the white wax, gently placed it on the ground, held the bronze mirror in both hands, and adjusted the angle slightly, so that all the light on the candle shone on the copper mirror.
The candlelight was reflected by the bronze mirror, and the spell on it was immediately magnified, forming a vague pattern that shone straight on the two human skin lamps.
In an instant, I felt the human skin lamp shake violently, and two white shadows floated out from under the lantern, and I struggled very hard, trying to crawl into the crack in the door.
I was taken aback and shouted in a suppressed voice, "Second uncle, those two ghosts are going to run away......"
"Can't run!"
The second uncle let out a low cry and took out a pair of chopsticks from his arms, the chopsticks were pointed, one black and one white, which he held firmly in his hand, and threw it directly towards the two white shadows.
Then there were two muffled sounds, and the chopsticks nailed the two white shadows to the door.
No matter how these two shadows struggled, they couldn't get rid of the bamboo chopsticks shot by the second uncle, but they smoked all over their bodies and slowly disappeared from sight.
I looked surprised, both novel and scared, pulled my second uncle's sleeve, and asked him what was going on?
The second uncle squeezed out a stiff smile and said that chopsticks have one yin and one yang, representing the harmony of yin and yang, as long as they are used properly, they can also ward off evil spirits and eliminate disasters.
"I've fixed those two lantern ghosts with bamboo chopsticks, you hurry up to the backyard to see the situation, remember to be careful, don't be discovered by the people inside."
I hummed, got up from where I was hiding, and crept to the backyard of the village chief's house.
Fortunately, the backyard gate was not closed tightly, and as soon as I came to the backyard, I slowly pushed open the door and crawled in, and saw an oil lamp lit in a room, so I quickly put my back against the wall and moved it there inch by inch.
I finally moved under the window of that room, and before I could catch my breath, I heard the nervous voice of the village chief,
"Master Wang, is it really okay to do this?"
At the same time, another hoarse response came from the room, "The old man will not lie to you, to solve the trouble in your village, this is the only way, the source of this disaster is the crazy daughter-in-law of the old Zhou family, although she is dead, but the grievances are still in the village, the only way to resolve these grievances is to find her body as soon as possible." ”
Overhearing these conversations, my heart immediately trembled violently.
The village chief really has a problem.
But fortunately, my mother's body has not fallen into the hands of these bad people for the time being.
The village chief sighed and said, "But Zhou Xuan's mother's body has been hidden by the old immortal, and no one can find it now." ”
"Zhoujiagou is not a big place, the old immortal is likely to hide in the back mountain, from tomorrow, you directly mobilize all the villagers to find it, don't believe that you can't find people!"
The old voice snorted coldly, "Remember, you must not be merciful when the time comes, once you have to grab the body of that crazy woman as soon as possible, and hand it over to me to exorcise evil spirits, if you continue to delay, her resentment will become stronger day by day, and then your village will really be finished." ”
"Knowing Master Wang, I will definitely cooperate with you fully."
The village chief seemed to be very afraid of this Master Wang, and he always accompanied him carefully when he spoke.
I leaned my body against the wall, curious about who this so-called "Master Wang" was, and why I was so convinced by the village chief in a few words, and slowly stood up with my body against the wall, intending to pull out the window to see clearly.
But just as my hand was about to touch the window, there was a muffled "bang" outside, which instantly frightened me to shrink back.
The people in the house also heard the movement outside, and the village chief and the master Wang got up from their chairs at the same time,
"What's going on out there?"
"It's not good, someone touched my arrangement, it seems that there are masters in your village, maybe the old immortal has returned!"
Master Wang's tone was low, and he quickly admonished the village chief,
"I'm going to chase people outside, you stay in the village and continue to preside over the rituals, remember my words, there must be no kindness of a woman!"
After saying that, the mage surnamed Wang jumped up, kicked open the door of the room, and hurriedly chased in the direction of the main gate.
My heart was beating like a drum, and I didn't dare to move when I curled up in the corner of the wall, and it wasn't until Master Wang's body rushed out of the door that I had the courage to glance at him.
Just this glance, my heart was so frightened that I almost jumped out of my chest.
What do I see?
This Master Wang is actually a dead man!
I thought my eyes were glazed, so I rubbed my eyes and continued to look towards the front yard, and even though the night was dark, I was sure that I was not wrong by the light of the village chief's house.
"The coffin maker surnamed Wang, isn't he already dead? When I went to the coffin shop in town with my grandfather that night, I saw his body with my own eyes, why is it ...... now?"
My cheeks bulged like a toad, and my face was covered in cold sweat.
Fortunately, the coffin maker didn't notice me hiding at the base of the wall, and after breaking out of the room, he immediately looked up in the direction of the hanging human skin lantern, and snorted coldly,
"Even my ghost slave can be fixed, I don't know who the master is, if there is a kind of appearance, let me meet you in person!"
After speaking, he kicked his legs and ran quickly towards the gate of the compound, his toes barely touching the ground, and it felt like flying.
I'm even more nervous, this coffin maker has an evil face, and it's very difficult to mess with at first glance, since he has found out that the second uncle is guarding outside, will it be bad for the second uncle?
I finally found a relative, I didn't want the second uncle to have an accident, gritted my teeth, and was about to chase after the second uncle to remind the second uncle.
But not long after I got up, another flashlight beam shot from the courtyard, shining on my face.
"Zhou Xuan, why are you hiding in my backyard?"
I couldn't open my eyes due to the flashlight, and subconsciously blocked it with my hand, but I still heard the village chief's voice, panicked in my heart, and turned my head and ran out of the backyard door.
"Stop!"
The village chief ran very fast, and after a while he caught up, he picked up a flat pole in his hand, and scolded and said,
"Rabbit cub, I can't imagine that your life is so hard, and you can come back alive, hehe, that's fine, as long as I catch you, I'm not afraid that he won't show up."
Old brute!
When I heard the village chief's shout, I couldn't help but look back with a sad and indignant face, "It turns out that you also have a part in calculating my family's affairs, and you are not worthy of being the village chief at all." ”
Bang!
The flat pole thrown by the village chief hit me impartially, and I shook my heels, and I couldn't stand still for a while, and I fell into the mud.
The village chief ran over, stepped on my waist, and said with a blue face,
"Fart, why did your Zhou family do the sin that affected the entire village? I was also forced to be helpless. ”
