The years of reselling the haunted house

Chapter 65

I smiled wryly and said, "Third Uncle, I beg you not to praise me in the future. Every time you praise me, I feel like you are complimenting yourself."

The third uncle said seriously, "I'm just seeking truth from facts."

"So, am I right? Is the chest really a copper chest?"

Uncle San nodded affirmatively: "Of course, you know Uncle San's knowledge. If it wasn't made of copper, I would have eaten it."

As he said that, Uncle San casually tapped the edge of the box with the engineering shovel in his hand.

Unexpectedly, just like that, the box fell apart with a crash.

This shocked me and third uncle, no one thought that the box would be so bad.But one thing is certain, that is, this box is not [-]% copper.

I glanced at Uncle San and asked, "Uncle San, I didn't expect you to have such a strong taste. Do you want to eat steamed or braised? My nephew, I will process it for you right away."

Third Uncle's face turned red and turned white, a little embarrassed.But he quickly recovered, and said brazenly: "Well, this... Eldest nephew, third uncle will teach you again, if we get something from the haunted house, don't pay attention to the outer packaging, the important thing is The contents inside. Like this box..."

As he spoke, Uncle San picked up the scattered boxes with his engineering shovel and began to rummage inside.

I laughed to myself, pretending to be stupid, this is also the usual style of my third uncle.

That box is not copper, it should be wooden.The wood was very rotten and rotted in many places.When it was just unearthed, it was still intact. It is normal to see the sun outside, be blown by the wind, and fall apart when touched by the third uncle.

The third uncle picked out some intact pieces of broken wood, laid them aside, looked at them for a while and said, "Sure enough. Although this box is made of wood, there are spells drawn on the surface of the box. These spells Sealing the box is the same as locking the soul in the copper box."

According to the third uncle, sealing the box with a spell means that there must be something in the box that needs to be sealed.

Maybe the things that Fei Yao rummaged around at that time were in this box.That's why she frantically rummaged through the house and returned without success.

When the third uncle pushed aside all the pieces of the box, there was a piece of red cloth wrapped in the box.

I poked it lightly with a mahogany sword, and it was so hard that I couldn't feel what it was.

I glanced at Third Uncle, who nodded at me.

I used my mahogany sword to gently pick out the red cloth that was wrapped outside, layer by layer, until the last layer of red cloth was removed, and the things inside were fully presented in front of us.

"Ah..." It really was a strange thing in a strange box. Although I was prepared, I couldn't help but screamed again.

Inside is a flayed animal that looks like a cat.

We have been surrounded by black cats since we came here, and we were even attacked by a group of cats.It is not surprising that a dead cat appears in the box.The strange thing is that the cat had been buried in the box for an unknown number of years, but instead of decomposing, it turned into a mummified corpse.Moreover, the mummy was strangled with iron wires tied around its body.

It was the skinned mummy of a cat.

The third uncle was not too surprised. He looked at the mummy cat with a mahogany sword, and finally picked it up.Looking at the cat's corpse, I couldn't bear it any longer, and squatted aside, vomiting wildly.

After a while, the third uncle said: "Don't throw up, come and have a look."

I held back my nausea, covered my mouth and moved over.

"Yangzi, isn't it a little strange for you to look at the cat's belly?"

After being reminded by my third uncle, I paid attention to the cat's stomach.Only then did I realize that the cat's stomach was bulging outwards, as if it had been inflated.

"Is there something in your stomach?" I asked.

The third uncle nodded, took out a fruit knife from his body, and was about to cut the cat's belly.

"Third Uncle, don't you have too much taste? This cat may just be pregnant." I reminded.

The third uncle glared at me: "Fart, this is obviously a male cat, what kind of pregnancy is it. You are so talkative, why don't you come?"

I quickly covered my mouth and ran away for a distance.

The third uncle shook his head resentfully, pressed the cat to the ground, and cut open the cat's stomach with the fruit knife.

Click, something fell out of the cat's stomach.

The outside of the thing was covered with blood stains, and because it had been too long, it didn't emit any special smell.

This also aroused my curiosity, so I slowly leaned over to look at it.

The third uncle was going to disgust me to the end, he put on the leather gloves, and began to peel off the things that fell out of the cat's stomach.Judging from the size of the thing, it does look like a kitten.But not four-legged, obviously not as I imagined.Thinking about it, if it is really an unborn cat fetus, this is a bit too normal and does not conform to the norms of our industry.

When the third uncle had almost cleaned up the blood on the outside of the thing, he asked me to take a bottle of mineral water from the car and rinse it off.Only then did we understand that the thing turned out to be a wooden carving.

The wood carving was a woman in a cheongsam, and the carving technique was extremely exquisite, which can be called a stroke of genius.The woodcarving woman was very beautiful in appearance, but what is amazing is that the charm of an ancient woman on her body, as well as the faint sadness revealed between her brows, have been completely copied into this work by this engraver.

Looking at this wood carving, it is simply a miniature version of a real person.This kind of carving technology, I think no one can match it in modern times.

Who could this woodcarved woman be?Why was it put into the cat's belly?

The third uncle looked up at the lilac tree again, thought for a while, nodded and said, "I understand why the lilac tree suddenly withered. It turned out to be like this."

I asked: "Could it be that the earth energy in the soil has been absorbed by this thing. The tree withered quickly without the earth energy."

The third uncle nodded: "That's right. But you're only half right. Even without the earth's energy, the tree wouldn't die so quickly. It's because the wooden figurine not only absorbed the earth's energy, but also released the death energy .The dead air flows from the roots of the lilac tree to the trunk, and the tree will die quickly."

I asked another question: "But, this wooden figurine should have been buried underground for many years, right? Why did it only take two days to release the dead air, causing the lilac tree to die?"

Uncle San explained: "It's very simple. It's because the lilac tree, cat corpse, wooden figurines, and the land here form a balance. In recent times, this balance may be considered The land was destroyed. That's why a series of events happened."
