smuggler

Chapter 97
Che Yu sat up from the coffin, but he couldn't move freely for a while.

I was moved.

"You block the door and don't let him out."

After speaking, before Jiang Wenmao could speak, I went directly into the room. I rummaged inside for a while, and finally found glutinous rice in a big jar.

Then I randomly wrapped some in a cloth bag. When I went out, Che Yu had already come out of the coffin, his eyes were bloodshot. Seeing this, I immediately grabbed a handful of glutinous rice and beat it.

The glutinous rice hit Che Yu's body, and immediately made a chi-chi sound, and black air came out, and the glutinous rice hit the body and fell to the ground, turning black as if it had been burnt.

I said, "Disperse the yin energy on his body, and he won't be able to pick up the corpse."

Jiang Wenmao saw that this trick was effective, so he hurried over to grab the glutinous rice and hit Che Yu.

One by one, the black air was emitted from the coffin. When the black air was almost dispersed, the sitting corpse finally fell down with a "bang".

I sprinkled another two handfuls of glutinous rice, and the color of the glutinous rice was no longer black, and I knew that the evil spirit had been washed away.

Walking in front of the coffin, I saw Che Yu laying motionless in the coffin with his back to the sky, staring at his lifeless eyes.

The color of the corpse had turned purple-black, and the face was swollen, emitting a stench.

Jiang Wenmao gasped, "It's only been a day, and the corpse has changed like this."

My heart trembled, I reluctantly swallowed my saliva, forced myself not to think too much, slowly stretched out my hand, and closed Che Yu's eyes.

Then, frowning, I took out what was in his throat. It was a piece of yellow paper. After I spread it out, crooked symbols were drawn on the paper with red cinnabar.

Jiang Wenmao looked terrified: "What is this?"

"Yin Talisman!" I said in a cold voice.

Sure enough, it was Zhang Zizi who was playing tricks.

After a person dies, there is a breath in the throat, which would have dissipated slowly over time, but Zhang Laizi used this yin talisman to block the breath in his throat, allowing the yin to flow back. Sit up for a scene.

Just in case, I stuffed a broken copper coin into Che Yu's mouth, and then I closed the coffin lid with Jiang Wenmao.

Then the coffin nails were driven at both ends of the coffin, and she was relieved after all this was done.

Standing in front of the mourning hall, I thought of the behavior of the lame Zhang earlier, and felt that something was wrong.

She wanted to figure out what the hell was going on.

Let Jiang Wenmao guard here, and I decided to go to Zhang Laizi's house to take a look.

When he went out and walked along the village road to the gate of Zhang Laizi's house, he saw a white lantern hanging at the gate.

It is very particular in the countryside.

If there is a happy event in the family, red lanterns are hung on the beams of the house, and white lanterns are hung only when there is a funeral.

The moral is to illuminate the lamp, pointing the way home for the souls of the dead.

He was doing funeral things inside, and when he walked to the gate of the courtyard, he saw a big black coffin parked in the mourning hall, with a funeral letter pasted on the head of the coffin.

The portrait placed on the long table facing the door is obviously old lame Zhang.

Although I was prepared in my heart, I was still a little nervous when I saw this scene.

I saw a village aunt cutting funeral paper at the entrance of the mourning hall, so I asked in a low voice how the lame Zhang died.

The aunt was a little sneaky, she glanced into the mourning hall in fear, turned her head and said softly: "Old lame Zhang died strangely, he strangled himself to death. And... I heard that he knelt at the gate in the middle of the night Burn the paper and kowtow to Lord Yan."

I was not at ease, and the more I listened, the more weird things became.

Lame Zhang committed suicide, but he had no grievances with him, why did he want to kill himself! ?

When I first picked him up, he said he owed me.

owe me nothing! ?

But the deceased is now lying in the coffin, and the eyes of several family members around the coffin are red and swollen. I know it is impossible to find out here.

Back at Che Yu's house, Jiang Wenmao was sitting on the steps in front of the gate when we arrived at the mourning hall. Che Yu's second uncle and second aunt were outside the mourning shed and dared not enter the mourning hall.

I walked over and asked them to invite the villagers to carry out the coffin as soon as possible.

The two couples were honest now, looked into the room with pale faces and fear, nodded and went out.

Seeing me, Jiang Wenmao quickly stood up and said, "Did you go to that old cripple's house?"

I nodded.

"He's dead?" Jiang Wenmao said in a low voice.

I looked up at him and said nothing.

Jiang Wenmao shrank his neck, glanced into the mourning hall, turned his head and said in a scared voice, "I've grown up so much, it's the first time I saw a dead person sitting up today, you... what on earth do you do? ?”

Seeing his 1.8-meter tall man, his face turned blue with fear now, I smiled slightly: "What do you think I do."

Jiang Wenmao followed with a pale smile and said nothing.

At this time, the sky was already deep, and after waiting for a while, Che Yu's second uncle brought and invited the villagers to carry the coffin for the funeral overnight.

Let them handle the rest by themselves.

Then I went to Ridge Garden again, and Jiang Wenmao followed her, came under the ancient peach tree, and cut off a wrist-sized peach tree on the ground beside it.

Jiang Wenmao pointed to the chopped peach branch and said that Che Yu hung it up, and after the body was taken down, his second uncle chopped off the peach branch.

I didn't reply to him, but now Gu Taoxia looked up seriously, recalling that weird photo in my mind.

While thinking.

Jiang Wenmao suddenly let out a 'huh', and said, "This peach branch has been chopped down for a day and a night. Look how the peach blossoms on it are still so beautiful."

My thoughts were interrupted, and I turned my head to look over, and at a glance, I also saw that the peach branch that was cut off was a bit weird.

After ordinary trees are cut down and exposed to the sun for a day and a night, the leaves and flowers must wither and die.

But that peach branch was different, the red peach blossoms on it were still very bright, and the peach leaves were still tender green.

I walked over and took a quick look, and saw that the peach branch was bright red where it was cut, and the juice that flowed out dried up on the floor, turning from bright red to dark red.

"This, this is... the blood tree."

I took a breath, my face full of horror.

Then I turned my head and looked at the ancient peaches in the Ridge Garden, and suddenly realized why this peach tree blooms such a bewitching red flower in September.

This is a... yin peach.

Trees that grow in extremely shady places will absorb yin and earth qi if they are too old.

If any part is injured, it will bleed.

The tree that grows in the most shady place is originally the most evil thing.

But unfortunately, this is a peach tree.

The ancient peach belongs to yang and is the essence of the five trees. It has the function of restraining evil and avoiding evil spirits. However, in the view of orthodox Taoists, Yin wood not only cannot ward off evil spirits, but is also easy to attract disasters.

But there is a method in the broken book, which can turn the Yin peach tree into a magic weapon for killing demons and exorcising demons.

I didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains from this trip, I put away the peach trees, and when I left Lingyuan, I took a deep look at Gu Tao.

Che Yu's family had already gone to the funeral, so naturally there was no need to stay. After leaving Lingyuan, Jiang Wenmao happened to be on the way, and he came by car.

I asked him to take me to the town on the way. When I passed the old house of Granny Ma, I took a look through the glass, and it was no different from the last time I came.

It's just that the old house next to the bamboo forest in the ditch in the mountain area reveals a secret, which looks a bit eerie and strange.
