Mr. Qiao put down the pipe in his hand, went into the room and brought out a red rope, and then asked me to stand up.
Although I don't understand why he wanted to save me? Or maybe the other party has something to do with my grandfather? But it turned out that he was supposed to save me.
I forced myself to stand up, and Master Qiao measured a red rope on my body that was the same length as my height, and then asked me to go back to the house and lie down!
At this time, my mind was starting to get confused, and I could only feel blood starting to seep out of my mouth and ears.
As soon as I lay down, Mr. Qiao came in with a sickle. I was so scared that I suddenly became more awake. I thought he was going to kill me, but he just cut my finger and soaked the red rope with my blood. After a while, he asked me my birth date.
It didn't take long for Chen Yunqi to come back. I heard Mr. Qiao tell him that I had been shot in the head and would definitely die within twelve hours.
The twelve hours they generally talk about are all in one hour, that is, one day and one night.
I should have been hit by the spell last night, which means that if the spell cannot be solved, then I will definitely not survive tonight.
After a while, Mr. Qiao Wu came in with a face mask tied with a red string and my birth date written on it.
He took off my coat and wrapped it around me, then stood on the bedside and went out!
This time, I suddenly felt that my breathing became much easier, and then I fell into a deep sleep.
When I woke up again, it was already dark. There was a dim oil lamp burning on the table in the house. Mr. Qiao Wu and Chen Yunqi were both sitting at the table. There was nothing they could do about it. It seemed like this was the only room in their house that could be occupied. .
I looked at the masked man next to me again and found that the masked man's neck had been broken and his head had fallen to the side.
"This is the puppet substitution technique."
Mr. Qiao Wu said calmly while smoking his pipe.
Listening to this name, I can probably imagine that this person should have endured the magic on me on my behalf, so if there was no such person, it would be me who lost his head!
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but become very interested in Master Qiao's magic. At critical moments, you can stand in and save your own life. Isn't this the same as having an extra life?
"Thanks!"
Although I don't have a good impression of this old man, he saved my life after all, so this thank you is from the bottom of my heart.
"No need."
Mr. Qiao Wuye glanced at me sideways, then stood up and took the masked figure placed on the bedside, holding a pipe in his mouth and said, "Based on this puppet, you can find the place where the other party performs the spell."
"How to find it?"
I asked quickly.
Because if I can find that young man based on this, then many things will be easier to solve. Whether it is a fight or a reconciliation, it will be better than if he has been secretly using tricks on me, making it difficult for people to guard against.
"Come with me."
Mr. Qiao Wu took off the man's coat and threw it to me, then took the headless man directly out the door.
I quickly got out of bed and put on my shoes, and then chased out with Chen Yunqi.
The old man didn't expect to go all the way to Huilong Town in the middle of the night, but this was pretty much what I thought. I knew that the young man must have never left Huilong Town.
It was already midnight, not a single soul could be seen on the street, and only a few storefronts still had lights on.
Fifth Master Qiao didn't say a word the whole way, he just walked in front. Chen Yunqi and I followed behind. We couldn't say anything, so we could only remain silent.
Not long after, we arrived at an abandoned old house outside Huilong Town.
The house is not small, but it looks like it has been abandoned for some time. The door is open, the yard is covered with grass, and some houses are even showing signs of collapse.
Qiao Wuye took a look at the dough in his hand, and then walked in first.
Chen Yunqi and I had no choice but to keep up.
This old house feels eerie and weird as soon as you enter.
This kind of old, unoccupied house is most likely to attract unclean things, and mountain spirits often come in and out, so you can feel the unusual atmosphere as soon as you enter.
Fifth Master Qiao walked through the grass in the yard and kicked open the door of the main room.
The moonlight shines in from the door, and you can see the dust in the air.
I glanced into the house, and my expression suddenly changed slightly, because I saw a corpse hanging from the beams in the house, and it was also a female corpse.
I recognized her almost immediately, it was Gu Xiaorou’s mother.
"It seems that he used corpses as a medium to do whatever he could."
Fifth Master Qiao walked into the house, raised his head and looked at the body on the beam and said.
I scanned around the room and saw no one else. Obviously the person who performed the spell was no longer here!
"Don't look any further. He will definitely not stay here if he knows I broke his spell."
Mr. Qiao Wu looked at the corpse on the beam and said, "It's such a pity to die after he was so good-looking!"
I was speechless for a moment. Why are you still so immoral at your age?
"Take down the body!"
Qiao Wuye said and stepped aside.
I had no choice but to find a relatively strong old wooden table, move it over and step on it, and then use a lighter to burn the rope hanging the body.
With a "bang", the body hit the ground directly.
I jumped down and took a look. There was a blood stain in the middle of the corpse's forehead, but it obviously didn't belong to the deceased. It should have been left by the person who performed the spell. There was also a red rope tied around the neck of the corpse. It was tied so tightly that the neck was exposed. A deep groove.
Mr. Qiao knelt down, struck a match, and then opened the deceased's eyelids to take a look.
I also took a look, but I didn't expect that my face was still reflected in the deceased's pupils.
My whole body suddenly felt like it was struck by lightning.
Now I finally understood. No wonder the corpse did not harm anyone in the Gu family last night after it turned into an Inferi. Instead, it disappeared directly. It turned out that this was what the other party wanted.
To use magic to harm someone, you either need to know the other person's name and birthday, or you need to lock the opponent's essence and charm. When I saw the corpse open its eyes last night, I was in an extremely nervous state, so all the essence, essence and charm were retained. In the eyes of the deceased.
The other party must have planned it, directly using magic to control ghosts, then using ghosts to control corpses, controlling the corpses to come here, and then cast spells on me.
This method is so meticulous that it is simply unbelievable.
"Something."
Qiao Wuye closed the eyes of the corpse and smiled coldly. The smile actually gave me a creepy feeling.
"If this person appears again, come to Wolong Ridge to find me. Then I will meet him personally."
After Qiao Wuye finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Chen Yunqi and I messy in the wind.
