Six Ways of Fumo

Chapter 101 Demolition of the Soul
The chopped peach tree fell to the ground with a crash, the air was stirred, and a smell of bloody grass rose up.

"Er Miao, what's going on?" Lin Xiruo said to Ding Ermiao with a serious expression, "According to the procedure, I have to notify the Municipal Bureau. Because judging from the scene, this is not a natural death."

"Does this need to be said? It must be the evil thing done by Feiyun Taoist Master Zhong Haoran!" Li Weinian clutched the engineering shovel, the muscles in his arms were stiff, and said angrily: "It's a pity that he came a step too late and let him run away!"

Ding Ermiao calmed down and said to Lin Xiruo: "You inform the city bureau. But I have a request. After your people see the scene, I will burn the bones. Otherwise...there will be endless trouble."

Lin Xiruo nodded, which means he agreed to Ding Ermiao.Then she picked up the phone, walked aside, and reported the situation here to the leaders of the city bureau in a serious tone.

When Lin Xiruo was on the phone, Ding Ermiao had already picked up a pair of black earrings from the skull with a branch.

"What kind of earrings are these made of? Why are they black?" Lin Xiruo asked confused.

Wan Shugao and Li Weinian were equally puzzled. They crowded over and stared at the pair of earrings.Li Hao and Zhou Peng couldn't bear to see such a horrific scene, so they dragged their shovels, said hello and fled.

Ding Ermiao handed the earrings to Lin Xiruo and said, "These are a pair of pure gold earrings. You will know the weight by weighing them. Judging from the scattered position, they should be the accessories of the deceased during his lifetime."

Lin Xiruo took it and gently tossed it in the palm of her hand. It was indeed very weighty.

"But... why are gold earrings black? As far as I know, the chemical properties of gold are very stable and very antioxidant. Generally speaking, it will not change color?" Lin Xiruo asked.

As an excellent criminal police officer, Lin Xiruo has some knowledge of academic encyclopedias, which is also a kind of soft power they have developed during their work.

Ding Ermiao nodded: "Yes, golden gold, generally speaking, it should be yellow and golden. But some old detectives may have seen such black gold. That's because the gold is stained with... Mercury, that is, mercury. In many ancient tombs, a large amount of mercury is often poured into the corpse in order to preserve the corpse. And the gold jewelry worn by the tomb owner will appear black spots or all black when it is contaminated with this mercury. Just like this pair of gold earrings.”

"Mercury?" Lin Xiruo and Wan Shugao Li Weinian asked almost simultaneously: "Is this pair of earrings black because of mercury?"

Ding Ermiao nodded and said nothing.

Li Weinian still didn't understand and asked: "Brother Ermiao, this is not an ancient tomb, why is mercury present? Moreover, the corpse is also corrupted. It is obvious that there is no antiseptic effect..."

"Mercury is not only used for embalming bodies, sometimes..., it is also a tool."

Ding Ermiao looked up at the sky and seemed to have made a lot of determination before saying: "This skeleton... this deceased was skinned alive with mercury."

"What, peel, peel...?"

Lin Xiruo shuddered, took another look at the bones in the pit, and quickly hid behind Ding Ermiao.Li Weinian and Wan Shugao shuddered at the same time and leaned towards Ding Ermiao.

Regarding the torture of skinning, Lin Xiruo and Wan Shugao and Li Weinian both knew a little bit, either from TV or from novels.

In the unofficial history of the Huaxia Kingdom, there are many records about skinning torture, which are mostly the same.

The torturer buried the living person standing in the soil with only his head exposed.Make an incision on the scalp and pour mercury into the incision.Because the mercury has a high specific gravity, it slowly slides down under the skin. The person who was buried alive felt pain and itching, and kept struggling.In the end, the person struggled out, but the human skin remained intact in the soil.

"Why is Taoist Master Feiyun so vicious and do such an unscrupulous thing?!" Li Weinian clenched his fists, his joints crackling.

Ding Ermiao withdrew his gaze, looked at the bones in the pit, and said: "His viciousness is not just that. He also forcibly split the three souls and seven souls of the deceased, so that the souls of the deceased could not be reunited, and they could neither be reincarnated nor sane. If you lose, just obey his orders."

Lin Xiruo and the other three were all shocked as Ding Ermiao continued to explain.

"After the deceased is skinned, the torturer fills the skin with rice chaff and hangs it in the air, facing north and facing the sun. The seven orifices are sealed with Taoist talismans and cinnabar, so that the three souls remain in the skin. inside; and buried the bones in the mountain yin, and used five peaches and copper swords to restrain the seven souls. ... This kind of magic is very evil, even my master has never encountered it once since he started practicing Taoism."

After a slight pause, Ding Ermiao continued: "But this spell also has fatal flaws. Because the dead cannot be reincarnated and have great resentment, the attack power is particularly strong. Once the soul breaks through the blockade, it will bring endless disasters. The caster, They often fail to control the situation, and are hurt by it, and do not end well.”

"What should we do now? The female ghost just disappeared suddenly. Will she go around killing people?" Lin Xiruo asked anxiously: "By the way, is this skeleton Xie Caiwei's mother? I looked at the back, it's true Exactly the same as Xie Caiwei."

"It's fine during the day, but before twelve o'clock tonight, I have to take in this female ghost, otherwise the consequences will be disastrous. I'll talk about other things when I have time." Ding Ermiao interrupted Lin Xiruo and said to Li Weinian and Wan Shu Gao said: "From the peach tree, just break fifty small peach branches for me, just a little thicker than a toothpick and a little longer."

With that said, Ding Ermiao took out the red thread again and measured it for a long time between the limbs of the skeleton and the peach tree. Then he used a soft ruler to measure the length of the red thread and asked Lin Xiruo to write it down one by one.

Li Weinian and Wan Shugao acted immediately, quickly broke off fifty small peach branches and handed them over.Ding Ermiao took the peach branches, sat cross-legged on the ground, took out a handful of copper coins, scattered them on the ground, stuck the peach branches back and forth in the eyes of the coins, and murmured something in his mouth.

After a long while, Ding Ermiao let out a long breath and said: "Three quarters and three minutes due east by south, seventy miles!"

Lin Xiruo and the three of them were stunned and asked at the same time: "What do you mean?"

Ding Ermiao took out a large compass from his backpack, laid it flat on the ground, carefully calibrated the direction, and then called everyone over to take a look, saying:

"Sister policewoman, look. Seventy miles ahead, follow the direction of the red needle of the compass, and that's where Zhong Haoran placed the skin of the deceased. If I want to contain this evil ghost, I must first find the skin and let the ghost's soul Return to one. If the female ghost's skin is not found before twelve o'clock tonight, then... I don't know how many people will die."

"Oops!" Li Weinian was shocked and said, "Taoist Master Feiyun has already run away. Maybe he put away the deceased's skin first. Isn't it too late for us to find him now?"

"It shouldn't be that fast, right?" Ding Ermiao thought for a moment, then raised his fingers and began to recite the curse.

When a whirlwind blew, Kang Cheng Luo Ying hid among the branches and leaves of the peach tree and asked, "Great Master, what is your order?"
