This accident happened so coincidental that no one knew how to describe their feelings.
After being silent for a while, Father Qin smiled bitterly and said, "This is all fate. It seems that God is destined not to let our Qin family have good rewards."
I sighed and said, "Old man, you don't have to be so pessimistic. At least Widow Chen has been eliminated. If only this bastard is left, she may not be able to achieve anything."
Father Qin said numbly, "But this child...is considered the flesh and blood of our Qin family after all, right?"
I shook my head and said, "Don't think so. This devil died before it could take shape. It can't be considered as flesh and blood of your Qin family. What's more, it absorbed Widow Chen's resentment. Even if it can really be born, it will not be considered as flesh and blood." An out-and-out debt collector, the first thing he wants to do is to take revenge on his relatives."
I don't know much about the cause of the corpse fetus. I only know that this dead baby was born out of grudges and inherited Widow Chen's resentment towards the Qin family.
Now that it has crawled into Qin Tao's belly, it will definitely try its best to absorb his life. When Qin Tao dies due to exhaustion of his life, the corpse fetus will cut open his belly and be born.
This thing is neither human nor ghost. It is a rather special kind of evil thing. There is no way to restrain it with ordinary methods. It is hard to say what it will become.
After listening to my words, the Qin family father and son fell into silence, while Qin Ni turned pale with fright, widened her eyes in disbelief and said,
"What are you talking about? How can there be a child in my uncle's belly? He is obviously a man... No, this is impossible, it is simply ridiculous!"
"Nothing is impossible."
I interrupted her coldly, shook my head and said that you haven't been home for a long time, and you still don't know what happened in the village. Your uncle did an extremely stupid thing, causing one person to die and two people to die. This is He deserves retribution.
Qin Ni was stunned and said timidly, "Then my brother-in-law..."
I gritted my teeth and said, "Can a person who is inhabited by a corpse still live? Your brother-in-law deserves to die for his own sins. But once this debt collector is born, more people will be affected."
As soon as I finished speaking, heavy footsteps could be heard outside the house.
Everyone ran outside the house, but saw Huizhen stepping into the small courtyard alone with a sullen face, and said helplessly,
"That bastard ran too fast. I couldn't catch him. I had to watch him climb into the back mountain with my own eyes."
Well, after working for so long, it was all in vain.
I was too tired to talk, so I shook my head at Huizhen and said, Fatty, we can do everything we can. It’s just the Qin family’s bad luck, and I’m afraid we can’t control the rest.
Huizhen sniffed and also expressed helplessness.
"You can't say that. Since we ran into this kind of thing, it can be considered a cause and effect. Let's try to go into the mountain to look for it after daybreak."
Not long after the corpse fetus inhabited Qin Tao's body, it absorbed the evil spirit left by Widow Chen, and I'm afraid it couldn't be digested so quickly. According to Huizhen's speculation, it is estimated that this devil will need to continue to develop for a while before he can break through it." Dad's belly crawled out.
It will be very weak before then. As long as the corpse fetus is taken out in time, it can be eliminated.
I had no choice but to agree. After working for so long, everyone was so tired that they didn’t even bother to leave the altar, so they couldn’t wait to go back to the house to rest.
Fortunately, Widow Chen had been wiped out, and the Qin family didn't have to worry about retaliation for the time being, so they slept peacefully.
Early the next morning, I heard a knock on the door while I was still asleep. I rubbed my eyes drowsily and opened the door. I saw Qin Ni holding two bowls of poached eggs and standing outside the door with an apologetic look on her face, speaking in a timid tone. explain,
"I'm sorry. I already know the truth from grandpa. I was too reckless yesterday and I shouldn't have come in to cause damage."
After a night of adjustment, my anger also disappeared. I shook my head and said I don’t blame you. If I do, I can only blame the fate of the Qin family. I deserve to bear this debt of karma.
Huizhen was also awakened by the conversation. She sat up and rubbed her belly. She looked at the poached eggs brought by Qin Ni herself. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she said with a silly smile,
"Great, I haven't had poached eggs in a while."
This guy had such a big appetite that he didn't even bother to move his chopsticks. He took the big porcelain bowl filled with poached eggs and poured it into his mouth. The two rows of big teeth were like floodgates, dazzling the contents of the bowl with a few blows. There was nothing left, but he smacked his lips with unfinished content and looked eagerly into my bowl.
I was so dumbfounded. Doesn’t this stupid guy even need to chew his food?
Huizhen might feel embarrassed, so she scratched the back of her head and smiled, "I was born with a big appetite, and the temple doesn't allow eating meat. Usually eating an egg is considered a tooth-beating ritual. Sometimes when I'm extremely hungry, I have to go to the back mountain to catch it." If you eat a hare, you might even get beaten by the master..."
Seeing how pitiful he said it, I quickly handed him the poached eggs in my bowl.
He was so rude. He poured the poached eggs into his mouth and swallowed them all in a few times. He also blinked at me helplessly and said that he had consumed a lot of energy last night and these six poached eggs could only keep him 30% full. Nothing else can fill your stomach,
"I'm not picky about food, just give me a few baked potatoes."
My head was full of black lines, but Qin Ni found it interesting and laughed, "Fat brother, don't worry, there are still several baskets of eggs at home, I can definitely take care of them."
Upon hearing this, Huizhen's eyes suddenly lit up, brighter than a night owl, "Sister, you are so kind to me. I have never eaten so many eggs in my life."
I was speechless. While Qin Ni went to the kitchen to boil eggs, I asked Huizhen, "Is life in Xuankong Temple really that hard? Even an egg is considered a luxury?"
Huizhen giggled and said that's not the case, it's just that she has been very good at eating since she was a child. One meal can meet the needs of her brothers for three days. In addition, due to the hard work of practicing, she consumes a lot of food.
At this point, the stupid man sniffed aggrievedly and said, "Zhou Xuan, you don't know. The food in the temple is terrible. I eat steamed buns and pickles every day. Look how thin I have become."
I looked at the pile of meat around me, swallowed my saliva and nodded, "That's right, you can still put on more meat with your body, and your head can probably be used as a dustpan."
After a few nonsense words, I felt that although Huizhen looks rough on the outside, she is very simple and kind on the inside. She is not quick to make jokes no matter how hard she is. She really lives up to the old saying about being broad-minded and fat-bodied.
After a while, Qin Ni brought a basket of hard-boiled eggs and greeted us with a smile to have breakfast.
This stupid guy was good as usual. He couldn't control his mouth when he saw him eating. He even stuffed his food while stuffing it. He also secretly hid a few hard-boiled eggs in his waistband, which made me very happy.
Eaters are short-tongued, so after we had eaten and drank enough, we were not idle and continued to take the guy into the mountains to look for corpses.
The fog in the back mountain is still very thick. I have been in the village for several days, and the damn fog still has not cleared. While I was looking for traces of Qin Tao, I joked with Huizhen, saying that you have entered the village since you were a child. You must have learned a lot about the temple. What did the old monk teach you?
"Just recite sutras, what else can you do?"
Huizhen rubbed the sweat on her feet and said that Buddhism has many rules and regulations and a very strict schedule. She gets up at six o'clock every morning to do morning exercises, eats at eight o'clock, then carries water and chops firewood, does chores, and recites sutras in the afternoon.
My eyes widened and I said, "Then you haven't learned anything useful, such as practicing martial arts, drawing spells or something like that?"
"Practice, usually at night."
Huizhen smiled honestly and said that he was a lay disciple and was not qualified to enter the Sutra Pavilion. Usually, the old monk secretly taught him his skills.
"By the way, your master is Xuan Zhenzi. This old Taoist is very powerful. What did he teach you?"
I thought of Xuan Zhenzi's wretched face, and said with a wry smile that he was almost like you. He recited the Tao Te Ching during the day, practiced martial arts and drew talismans at night, and was beaten to death by him every now and then.
After chatting for a while, I looked at the heavy fog shrouding the mountains behind, and then changed the topic to the Yama Valley.
"By the way, Fatty, the old monk brought you all the way to Yamawanggou. His purpose must not be simple, right? What's going on with the thirty-year agreement he was talking about?"
Huizhen looked confused, but shook her head, saying that she really didn't know.
"My master rarely talks to me about things at the bottom of the mountain, and rarely takes me down the mountain for a walk, but seeing how anxious he is, I guess what happened in Yamawanggou is not a big deal."
I nodded in agreement, and just when I was about to say something, Huizhen suddenly stood up holding the compass, looked down at the beating red pointer on the compass, and her face sank.
"Let's not talk about it for now. The pointer is moving. There must be evil spirits around here. Maybe that devil is hiding nearby."
I quickly grabbed the mahogany sword, stood up nervously, followed Huizhen on tiptoe, and walked towards the direction where the compass needle was swinging.
But as I walked, I realized something was wrong. It was very quiet around here. There were no footprints. It was impossible for the corpse to control Qin Tao to climb here.
Huizhen said with a serious face, "The compass left by my master cannot be false. The pointer keeps swinging towards this place. There must be evil spirits nearby. You should be careful."
I hummed and nodded silently.
Huizhen got started earlier than me and laid a more solid foundation than me. He said that if there is a problem here, there is probably one.
But after wandering along the back mountain for a long time, we still couldn't find any trace of the corpse. Just when I was wondering if there was something wrong with his Feng Shui compass, Huizhen suddenly stopped and squatted next to a stream, looking at He stared at the clear water under his feet in a daze.
I followed him and asked him what he was looking at.
"There's something wrong with this stream."
Huizhen twitched the fat on her big face and said doubtfully, "Whenever my compass needle gets close to this creek, it keeps trembling, which means that the evil spirit should come from the water."
"What could be wrong with the stream?"
I looked puzzled, and just when I was about to ask a question, I saw Huizhen pouring a handful of stream water on the compass.
It was fine without watering, but the red pointer on the compass trembled as soon as it touched the stream, and the cinnabar red mark smeared on it gradually turned black, turning into a color like thick ink.
"No, there's so much injustice under this stream!"
Huizhen stood up in shock, and I also showed an incredulous expression.
