Chapter 3: The Origin of the Ghost Corpse
On the seventh day after the old man left, Uncle Yan went to the countryside to collect the goods and came back.
I threw the human skin in front of him, and told him about the old man.
After hearing this, Uncle Yan didn't have any expression on his face.
Didn't even look at the shriveled human skin I threw on the counter.
Just nodded lightly to indicate that she understood.
At the same time, he said to me: "Xiao Xu, you have not come home to sweep the grave of your parents after coming out with me for so many years, right?" ”
I was silent at the mention of my parents.
Since I came out at the age of twelve, I have only followed Uncle Yan back once.
It's not that I don't want to go back, but every time I go back, it reminds me of the bad things I did when I was a kid.
I didn't want to run away from anything, I just wanted to tell my parents after I figured everything out.
Their deaths were so bizarre that it has always been a piece of my heart.
I looked up at Uncle Yan and said, "You understand my thoughts, I don't want to say anything more."
"Also, when the hell are you going to take me down to the ground?"
"If I can't fix these things, I'll never really be able to face my parents."
Uncle Yan looked at me with a complicated look between his eyebrows.
He took the shriveled human skin from the counter and shook it in front of my eyes.
"Xiao Xu, I know that you have followed me all these years and have always wanted to know what happened back then."
"And if you want to go down with me, I promised your mother not to let you get involved in this business,"
"But your dog temper is inherited from your old Chen family, and I can't change anything about you."
"Now the human skin you received is a clue."
When I heard Uncle Yan say that this was the clue, I immediately came to my senses.
Hurriedly asked what the hell was going on?
I scolded Uncle Yan again in my heart, you still pretend not to care about something very important.
It's really cunning.
Thankfully, the old man was willing to sell it to me, or it would have almost slipped out of my hands.
When Uncle Yan saw me like this, he seemed to have expected me to be so excited.
He stretched out his hand and patted me on the shoulder and said, "Don't get excited, I can't see anything strange about this human skin now." ”
"But what I can tell you is that this human skin is something that flowed out of the tomb of King Zhao."
"I need time to decipher the ciphertext on this human skin, and you also study antiques, so you know that if you want to crack this thing, you can't do it in a day or two."
"I need to be quiet, take advantage of this time to crack the ciphertext, you go home to accompany your parents, at most a month, I should be about the same."
"When the time comes, I will call you back, and then I will take you into the ...... of the ground!"
When Uncle Yan said that this piece of human skin came from the tomb of King Zhao.
I immediately thought of the tomb robbery case that the state had cracked in '97.
Suddenly, I was a little nervous in my heart, and asked if Uncle Yan would be targeted?
Uncle Yan smiled faintly at me and waved his hand.
"It's not a relic, it's just a tattered human skin."
"Besides, it's been two years, and who remembers these things."
I nodded in agreement, and wanted to continue to ask about the old man.
Uncle Yan urged me to pack my things quickly, and the ticket had already been bought for me.
In the evening, I packed up and went back to my hometown in the countryside overnight.
I haven't been back for years, and basically no one in the village knows me anymore.
Everything seems to be wrong, and many people are running to the big cities.
Walking into the yard, I found that the yard was clean and tidy, and there was a lame old man looking after the house.
After seeing me come back, the old man hurriedly took my luggage and said hello.
"You're Xiao Xu, right? You can call me Uncle Chen, I have been helping your family for all the years that you have been away from home......"
I knew that everything here was arranged by Uncle Yan, so I politely called Uncle Chen.
I put incense on my grandfather and parents, and I also swept their graves under the leadership of Uncle Chen.
Although I was still sad in my heart, I couldn't help but feel a little excited at the thought of being able to go to the ground soon.
I didn't sleep soundly for the first two days.
Although I don't know what my grandfather's curse is in our family.
But the mere thought of my father's death made my chest ache like I couldn't breathe.
Uncle Yan is right, this has become a demon in my heart.
It's only a matter of time before I get into the industry, otherwise I think I'd probably go crazy.
More than ten days have passed, and life in the countryside is boring and boring, although I have always carried that bronze dragon mirror with me.
But after so many years, I don't just know that it is a thing of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, but who the original owner is.
I don't know what the magic of this bronze mirror is.
I also looked at my face in the mirror and didn't experience any discomfort.
The only speculation is that it has something to do with the ghost corpse in Grandpa's mouth.
By the time I had been in the country for twenty days, I couldn't resist wanting to go back and see it anymore.
Because I was afraid that Uncle Yan would fool me, he wouldn't tell me after cracking it himself, and then sent me away.
This kind of thing, he used to do it when he was a child, and I was already on guard.
This person, once he has a thought about something, he can no longer restrain himself physically.
After breakfast that day, I immediately took the train home, and I didn't even bring anything.
Because I'm afraid that Uncle Chen will report to Uncle Yan.
As soon as I got off the train, I ran straight to the shop.
Uncle Yan didn't expect that I would suddenly kill a horse pistol.
When I broke into the shop, all three of the people in the shop looked at me in amazement.
"Xiao Xu, why did you come back all of a sudden?"
Uncle Yan was the first to react.
I looked at the scattered equipment on the ground, as well as the other two Uncle Yan's men, and I had an indescribable taste in my heart.
I stared at Uncle Yan with both eyes, trying hard to suppress the anger in my heart and said, "Uncle Yan, you still want to lie to me? ”
The other two guys looked at each other, exited the shop under Uncle Yan's eyes, and closed the door of the shop at the same time.
After they left, Uncle Yan and I fell into a brief silence.
After a while, Uncle Yan sighed heavily and sat down on the chair in the shop.
said in a very helpless tone: "Xiao Xu, you can't go this time." ”
"Next time, I promise not to hide it from you......"
As soon as these words came out, I couldn't restrain myself.
I sneered and said, "Uncle Yan, think about it yourself, how many times have you told me this sentence?" ”
"You're never prepared to take me down to the ground, are you?"
My words, Uncle Yan's heart is like a mirror.
Over the years, in order to track down my parents, not only did he not help, but he always stopped me when I was about to find some eyebrows.
Uncle Yan didn't speak, but lit a cigarette for himself and took a hard puff.
Several photographs were then taken out of the body.
The photograph shows a human skin that has been unfolded.
There is a pattern on the human skin, which is a blood-red blood phoenix tattoo.
And there are a few dots on the tattoo that have been marked with a pen.
At this time, Uncle Yan, who was smoking, spoke.
"Xiao Xu, it's not that I won't take you there, it's just that this trip is too dangerous."
"It's dangerous, even I'm not sure if I'll be able to come back with my whole body, don't you see that I only brought my two buddies?"
"The photo you see is the human skin you gave me, and I have burned the human skin, and there is a very complicated relationship here."
As he spoke, Uncle Yan changed his words and said, "Actually, there is another point that I don't want you to go, there is another consideration. ”
"This is a big deal for you."
I was originally skeptical of Uncle Yan's words, but now that I have come to this set again, I must not believe it.
I looked at Uncle Yan and asked, "You say, I'll see how you can make it up." ”
In the face of my cynicism, Uncle Yan was not angry.
Instead, he asked me if I knew what a ghost was.
I didn't speak, just shook my head.
Seeing this, Uncle Yan extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and then told me about the origin of the ghost corpse.
Ghost corpses are also known as three corpses.
It is recorded in the ancient book "Rebuilding the Collection of Dimensional Books".
The corpse is a thing, and the real soul is also the genus of ghosts and gods.
If you want to cause people to die early, this corpse should be a ghost, indulge in parades, and eat people for worship.
Every time it comes to the poor day of Liujia, the heavens are white and the life is white, the Taoist is guilty, the too big one takes the discipline, and the too small one takes the people.
Therefore, those who seek immortals, go to the three corpses first, are tranquil and desireless, quiet and bright, accumulate all goodness, take medicine effectively, and become immortals.
It probably means that someone wants to use some ancient Taoist spells to cultivate into immortals......
