smuggler

Chapter 19
I took a deep breath, and then opened the rough old book. There were two pages inside that were yellowed and peeled off. They were stuck in the book, but they were still intact.

I opened it and glanced at it casually, and my eyes narrowed suddenly, and I found that there are all some folk magic methods in it, and there are three articles in it.

I took a cursory look at the page, and the first twenty or so pages were full of folk magic tricks, and there were chapters in the latter part.

The words and drawings in the book were all written with a black brush, not printed. They should all be untold secrets, and I was dazzled by so many strange things.

The snake-repelling talismans left by grandma should have been obtained from this book, so I flipped through a few pages and looked at them.

It is found that there are many kinds of paper talismans, the most common ones are paper talismans, and hand talismans, which are drawn on the hands with blood from the tip of the tongue or fingertips.

The runes are made of cinnabar, realgar, chicken blood, bletilla striata and other drugs, mantras and energies.

I watched it for a long time, and I really had a headache. I lay on the bed and fell asleep in a daze.

It was already noon when I woke up, my aunt didn't know what to do, but there was still hot rice in the pot, so I was in a good mood.

But halfway through the meal, my aunt broke open the door and broke in. Her face was pale and she was sweating profusely.

I saw that she was panicked and her hair was a little messy, so I quickly asked what happened.

The aunt gasped and said, "Your sister-in-law is crazy!"

Mrs. Ma is Wang Mazi's daughter-in-law.

Although a shocking incident happened in the Snake Cave the day before yesterday, fortunately no villagers were injured, and Wang Mazi's body was later brought back by the village chief.

The funeral is going on now, and my aunt said that Mrs. Ma suddenly went crazy, she became like a snake, crawling around on the ground, and her temper is very violent, if someone touches her.

Mrs. Ma would hiss like a giant python, and even open her mouth to bite people, even her own child.

"Go and have a look!" Chu Yuan's voice echoed in his ears.

I also thought of the many weird anomalies circulating in the village before Wang Mazi's accident two days ago, and felt that this matter was inappropriate.

"I'll go take a look."

I stood up and said to my aunt.

My aunt grabbed my hand and said, "Everyone in the village says that she is possessed by a snake spirit, so don't go."

"I'll take a look and I'll be back." After I finished speaking to my aunt, I hurried out of the courtyard.

Walking on the village road, from a distance, I saw villagers surrounded by the gate of Wang Mazi's house. They looked very panicked at the moment, but the noise had already broken out, mixed with the cries of children.

I came to Wang Mazi's house, but before I entered the door, I was terrified by what I saw.

There was still a coffin in the main room, and Wang Mazi's daughter-in-law was curled up on the ground, her body squirming, her hands firmly holding onto the soul-inducing chicken placed in front of the coffin.

Moreover, he was biting vigorously, and several people in the village tried to drag and persuade, but it was useless. He could only watch sister-in-law maw the chicken to death.

She didn't care about the chicken blood and chicken feathers around her mouth, which made my stomach churn.

Sister-in-law Ma curled up and crawled on the ground, just like a snake showing a human body. The rumors were like a scourge, and everyone commented that Sister-in-law Ma was possessed by a snake spirit.

Although I don't have much skill, but after reading that book yesterday, I also know something more or less.

Wang Mazi's daughter-in-law has no evil spirits on her body, and her spirit platform and face look like normal people. Although her behavior is weird, she is not something that provokes uncleanness.

This does not belong to the category of metaphysics. Her aura is still there, and she is stable. She is not sick or disaster, and has never been harmed by dirty things. She is just so crazy.

What I didn't expect was that when I was still thinking about what I read in the book yesterday, the most terrifying scene happened!

Mrs. Ma, who was grabbing the big cock and biting at the door of the main room, turned her head without warning and stared at me blankly.

A weird smile appeared on her blood-stained face, and she twisted her body, slowly crawling towards me like a snake.

This scene frightened everyone at the gate of the courtyard to go crazy, howling and retreating.

A cold sweat broke out on my forehead, but my feet were like roots, and I couldn't move.

Gritting her teeth, swallowing her saliva, she forced herself to stare at Mrs. Ma who crawled over, her heart almost jumped out of her throat.

After approaching the courtyard gate, Mrs. Ma stopped, tilted her head and stared at me, smiling strangely, stared for a while, and then suddenly said quietly.

"Do you want to know why I'm crazy?"

Her voice was as deep as a death knell, like a song from hell, ethereal and sinister.

I was so scared that the back of my neck exploded!Somehow, my sixth sense tells me that something very bad is about to happen!

I asked in a trembling voice, "Why... why are you crazy?"

Mrs. Ma waved at me: "Come here, I'll tell you."

At that time, I felt as if I had been possessed by an evil spirit. I hesitated for a while, and pressed my ear to her mouth in a mysterious way.

Mrs. Ma said to me word by word:

"Ask the snake."

???

These few words, with a kind of indescribable sinister malice, made me get goosebumps all over my body, and looked at her in astonishment.

"You... what do you mean?"

"Ask the snake."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Ma smiled secretly at me, licked the chicken blood on her lips, and looked like she was enjoying it.

Go ask the snake, how should you understand this sentence?

How can I find out how crazy she is by catching a snake?

I didn't dare to think about it anymore. At that moment, I seemed to have fallen into a gloomy world. I thought of the hell scene where I dreamed that all the villagers in the village turned into snakes that day.

Just when a layer of cold sweat broke out on my back, Chu Yuan said in my ear, "Look at her shadow!"

Only then did I see that Mrs. Ma's shadow was distorted and stretched very long, vaguely like a snake.

Chu Yuan said: "She is not crazy!"

I was secretly surprised, but then I gritted my teeth, took out two snake-driving talismans, took two steps forward, and tried to drive the snake away.

But Mrs. Ma is not Zhang Xianren from the night before yesterday, she is alive now, and seems to be very afraid of the snake-repelling talisman in my hand.

As soon as I took it out, she stared at me with gloomy eyes. Her tongue became bigger, and she kept swallowing from her mouth, making faint hissing sounds.

Just like a snake sticks out its tongue quickly when it is in danger.

While spitting out the snake, I twisted my body and backed away. Seeing this scene, cold sweat broke out on my forehead, but I still pushed forward.

There was no way to retreat, and Mrs. Ma suddenly went crazy and grabbed my hair, took out a short knife from her pocket, and was about to stab me.

Everything happened so fast that no one could react, but luckily I reacted fast enough to grab her wrist.

"You crazy woman, what do you want to do?!" I slapped Mrs. Ma's face.

Mrs. Ma stared at me with wide eyes, as if she was possessed by an evil spirit and wanted to fight back: "Die! Go to hell! Stab you to death, stab!"
