Night Lights

Chapter 66

In the body of a person, the three souls are mysterious, and the death tells the truth, and the filth dissipates; when the person passes away, the body is like ice, but there are seven souls temporarily stored, converging in a certain place, condensing and heating; When the soles of the feet are hot, the soul returns to the hell realm; when the knees become hot, the soul returns to the animal realm; when the chest becomes hot, the soul returns to the human realm; Tao; this name is called: touch the corpse. ——Excerpted from Tongyin Eight Volumes of "Wordless Book of Heaven".

……

"Smoking pods, no bong, really annoying!"

The corpses on this side were entangled under the body by the python, and they couldn't be taken out, and there were people who bought the corpses on the other side. Unexpectedly, the corpses of Bai Shibao and Yan Zifei turned out to be delicious, so many 'people' snatched them up!

Can Bai Shibao not be annoyed!

Yan Zifei said urgently: "Brother, what do you think about this?"

Bai Shibao said: "I don't think this big python is coming towards us, it probably smells the meat smell from the entrance of the cave, these two people came by coincidence, just in time to help us lure the python away. Let's run over and join in!"

Bai Shibao and Yan Zifei pressed their backs against the wall, jumped up and slowly moved into the hole, just waiting for the boa constrictor to take another step, so that they could take the opportunity to 'snatch' the corpse back!

At this time, two figures from the hollow also came in. The two ghosts and a boa snake squeezed together in this dark and narrow hole.

Whoa!
One of them lit the candle in his hand and held the candle to shine in the cave, but he was frightened and panicked, and hurriedly backed away, but was stopped by another person beside him.The man frowned and looked at the big python in the cave, and sighed: "Good boy! Li Jiuzi, where did you get this big python to guard the corpse here?"

Li Jiuzi was trembling, with the candle trembling in his hand, he said anxiously, "Master Liao, don't be kidding, if I can afford to feed this big worm, why would I sell a corpse! I really don't know when such a big python got in!"

That Master Liao took out a talisman paper from his pocket, handed it to Li Jiuzi, and said, "Don't worry, if you carry this talisman paper on your body, the big python won't be able to smell you!"

Bai Shibao looked at this well-dressed and well-dressed Master Liao, and saw that he was wearing a purple silk gown, his hair was combed shiny, his head was narrow and his chin was wide, and his whole face was "covering the sky".Bai Shibao couldn't help but thumped in his heart, and exclaimed, "Isn't this Liao Gouzi?"

Yan Zifei asked beside him, "What? Do you know him?"

Bai Shibao said with a smile: "This Liao dog has turned into ashes, and he can't escape the banner of my Bai family!"

It turns out that the real name of this 'Master Liao' is: Liao Sanhe.

The ancestors of their Liao family were flag slaves who threw flags on the ground, and belonged to the Bai family of the Guerjia family.According to the old law, in addition to paying rent and food for the banner master's family on a regular basis, the banner slaves also went to the master's house to congratulate them during the New Year's festival.They didn't dare to disobey, who let the status of master and slave be in charge!
A slave is only eligible to be an official after being redeemed. Although he can redeem himself, he cannot lose his status as master and slave.In the old Qing Dynasty, a flag master would not commit a serious crime if he killed a flag slave, so naturally no slave would dare to redeem himself and provoke the master.

Later, the Bai family declined and became poorer and poorer. They couldn't even support their slaves. The number passed down by the ancestors was then raided by the uncle's family. Bai Shibao's old man gritted his teeth and simply asked Liao Sanhe to pay some money to redeem himself. .

Now that he has made a fortune somehow, this attire is even more luxurious than Bai Shibao.

Yan Zifei said: "Brother, I am not against you. When the Eight-Power Allied Forces occupied BJ, even the Fujin of the palace was captured by foreigners. It is not uncommon for third- and fourth-rank top wearers to be dragged to dig trenches by foreigners. How much is your flag master worth?" Eldest son? I'm not afraid of your anger. What era is it now? I'm afraid the old Qing system of masters and slaves can't stand it. Now there are no bannermen in all walks of life? The master has become a coolie, carrying bags for the slaves. , but the servants who become officials become officials, and those who get rich get rich..."

Bai Shibao didn't like it when he heard it, but it was indeed the truth!
It's right in front of your eyes!
Liao Sanhe's current attire looks more like a master than Bai Shibao!
Yan Zifei said again: "Brother, I see something wrong with this matter, why did that big python suddenly stop moving?"

Bai Shibao looked up, and the big python stuck out its tongue, then retracted, turned its body back to its original shape, and remained motionless, as if it didn't notice that two more people came in from the hole at all!
Yan Zifei said: "Look! Look at the posture, is he going to do something?"

Bai Shibao hurriedly turned his head to see that Liao Sanhe was kneeling on the ground with one knee, spread a piece of red paper with his hand, and placed a small incense burner on it, then took out a piece of yellow paper from his pocket, and tore it into a snake shape with his hands. ...

"Where did Gouzi Liao learn this witchcraft?" Bai Shibao wondered inwardly.

Yan Zifei whispered: "They are the same as us, they are all here to collect the corpse, just let them lure this big python away!"

Bai Shibao nodded.

Then look at Liao Sanhe putting the snake-shaped yellow paper on the incense burner, then sitting cross-legged on the ground, chanting formulas with both hands, and suddenly there was a burst of thick smoke from the incense burner in front of him, instantly smoked the snake-shaped yellow paper It was getting dark, at this time the big snake shook its head, tilted its head, and passed out!

Li Jiuzi looked surprised and said: "Master Liao, you are so addicted, the medicine is really strong!"

Liao Sanhe glared at him, and said, "What do you know? This is witchcraft. If it was a drug, you would have slept with it long ago!"

"Oh!"

Li Jiuzi walked forward with a candle in his hand, kicked the python's head, and said in surprise: "If such a big worm is skinned, the money it sells is enough for me to live happily in the 'Zuixiang Tower' for a month!"

Liao Sanhe scolded: "Looks like a good-for-nothing, and knows how to miss women all day long. If you help me get more corpses, I will definitely give you money!"

Li Jiuzi smiled and said, "From then on, I'll be with Master Liao!"

"You only know Qian, why don't you hurry up and move the corpse?"

Li Jiuzi turned around and walked to the corpses of Bai Shibao and Yan Zifei, put the candles on the ground, bent down and held the tail of the boa constrictor with his hands, gritted his teeth and tried to suck, but he couldn't lift it up, turned his head Shouted to Liao Sanhe: "Master Liao! The legs and feet of this corpse are crushed by the big snake, and I can't lift it out!"

Liao Sanhe scolded: "The pig's brain is so stubborn! Can't find something to pry it off?"

Li Jiuzi picked up the candle and searched in the cave for a while. He found a leg stick bone from nowhere.

Snapped!
The bones snapped.

Li Jiuzi scolded: "This bone is bad, it's like wood scum!"

Liao Sanhe was sitting on the ground protecting the censer, thick smoke was billowing from the censer, it could be seen that once the spell stopped, the big python would wake up again!Liao Sanhe couldn't get away, seeing Li Jiuzi's clumsiness, he shouted: "Will you not dig a hole below and drag him out?"

Li Jiuzi responded, took the two broken bone sticks, and dug the soil under the snake's body.

At this time, Bai Shibao whispered to Yan Zifei: "Brother, when he lifts our bodies out, we will vote immediately!"

Yan Zifei nodded.

Li Jiuzi dug for a while, sweating profusely from exhaustion, and finally dug the bodies of Bai Shibao and Yan Zifei out from under the boa constrictor.

Liao Sanhe shouted: "Take out the corpse quickly, I won't last long with this technique!"

"what!"

Li Jiuzi didn't have time to stop, so he stood up and dragged Yan Zifei by the collar...

At this time, Bai Shibao shouted: "Brother, it's now!"

After finishing speaking, Bai Shibao and Yanzi jumped on the two corpses, as if hitting the surface of the water. After a burst of pain, the soul and the corpse slowly merged together.

Li Jiuzi was dragging Yan Zifei's body when he suddenly saw Yan Zifei's arm move, and fell to the ground in fright, shouting, "You...you're a corpse?"

At this moment, Yan Zifei and Bai Shibao slowly opened their eyes and sat up slowly.

Liao Sanhe was startled, the magic formula in his hand loosened, and the thick smoke on the incense burner suddenly dissipated. At this moment, the big python suddenly raised its head, spat out its message, opened its mouth wide and rushed towards Liao Sanhe. .

Liao Sanhe closed his eyes tightly, pinched the magic formula in his hand, and said the spell in his mouth urgently, thick smoke billowed out from the incense burner again, the python's head sank and fell to the ground.

There is no danger!

At this time, Bai Shibao stood up from the ground and called out, "Does Liao Gouzi still know me?"

Liao Sanhe raised his head to look at Bai Shibao, couldn't help but gasped, and said to himself, "I've sprained my feet this time! The corpse I want to buy is actually the owner of the old banner!"

Although the world has changed now, the sense of master-slave has been imprinted in Liao Sanhe's heart, and he can't change his mind for a while.

Liao Sanhe hurriedly called out: "Young...young master?"

Bai Shibao said: "What's the matter, Liao Sanhe! After getting out of slavery and finding a new master, did you forget about this?"

Liao Sanyi gritted his teeth and didn't know what to say, instead he turned his head and glared at Li Jiuzi angrily.

Li Jiuzi showed a helpless expression.

Just as Bai Shibao wanted to scold him, he saw Yan Zifei suddenly fell to the ground, clutching his legs and shouting, "I'm numb from being crushed by that big python, but I can't stop bleeding..."

Bai Shibao was taken aback for a moment, and felt his legs become numb for a moment, unable to exert any strength, his legs softened, and he collapsed on the ground with a 'bang'.

At this time, Li Jiuzi ran over to Liao Sanhe and said, "Master Liao! How do you know each other?"

Liao Sanhe blushed and nodded.

Li Jiuzi saw some tricks, and thought that he couldn't make a trip in vain, and he couldn't even get a big son. He lowered his head and thought for a while, then whispered to Liao Sanhe: "Master Liao! You want a corpse, but I want money." , Now that these two corpses suddenly come back to life, how can this be calculated? I think these two people can't move their legs and feet. Why don't you bring the big python back to life? In this way, you take your corpse, and I take my money ..."

Liao Sanhe scolded: "Bastard! He is my young master!"

Li Jiuzi shook his head and said, "Master Liao! You've gone too far! What's the age now? How can there be a master-slave distinction? The era of wearing filial piety and kneeling in front of the master's spirit as a trumpeter has long passed, you I still think about it in my heart, when will I forget it? Besides, you don't want to be so useless for the rest of your life, do you?"

Liao Sanhe blinked, feeling a little moved.

Seeing the sign, Li Jiuzi took advantage of the situation to fan the flames, and continued, "I, Li Jiuzi, knocked on the rim of the vat to make noises. There is no one else in this cave. If you don't tell me, who would know?"

Liao Sanhe's eyes lit up when he said this, he slowly raised his head and glared fiercely at Bai Shibao...

Bai Shibao was startled, and panicked, "Slave dog, could it be that you want to kill the master?"
