Mr. Wang said, it is actually very simple. Does the place where he committed suicide must have his body? So on the other hand, is it true that as long as his body is there, it will make him heartbroken?
Although I don’t understand it very well, I think if I were Chen Guzi and saw my own body with my own eyes, I would be grief-stricken and cry loudly. After all, when you die, there really is nothing.
Mr. Wang said, isn’t that necessary? As long as I bury Chen Guzi in the coffin, and the other party just puts Chen Guzi's body under the coffin, will this place immediately become a place of sadness for him? When the time comes to revisit the old place, see your own corpse, feel sad, and shed a few drops of cat urine, isn't it perfectly reasonable?
After listening to Mr. Wang's analysis, I couldn't help but yelled, "Fuck!"
It’s not that my brain circuit is not strong enough, it’s that the other person’s idea is really awesome!
In this way, no matter where Mr. Wang buries the coffin, the other party will have a way to make Chen Guzi's portrait cry, and the Baili Corpse Monument will still be activated!
Your uncle, this ingenious way of breaking the situation simply amazed me!
I was excited for a while, and then slowly calmed down, and then I realized that what Mr. Wang said had nothing to do with "not letting the truth come out"!
Mr. Wang looked at me with a disappointed expression on his face and said, this is all I have said. Didn’t you understand? The truth that Chen Guzi committed suicide in secret cannot be made public, and the place where he committed suicide and his body cannot be discovered either.
I was a little confused and asked hurriedly, does this have anything to do with not being able to dig graves during the day?
Mr. Wang was a little angry when I asked him. He said that the conventional methods cannot be explained to you. Let me give you an example. For example, there is a corpse on the mountain. As long as no one finds it, it will never be found. Everyone knows that he is dead, but no one can ever confirm the cause of his death?
I say, theoretically speaking, this is the case. After all, as long as it has not been more than four years, legally speaking, it can only be judged as missing, and cannot be directly concluded as death. (Article 23 of the General Principles of Civil Law)
Mr. Wang said, but if this body is discovered now, will the truth about why he died be revealed?
I nodded and said, yes.
Mr. Wang said, in the same way, as long as Chen Guzi's body, that is, the wooden man, is kept in darkness, does it mean that no one will find Chen Guzi's body, and no one will know about it? Is the truth that he committed suicide?
I nodded again.
Mr. Wang continued, so once this piece of wood representing Chen Guzi's 'corpse' is seen, does it mean that someone has discovered Chen Guzi's corpse? Then will the truth about his secret suicide come to light?
I did nothing but nod.
Mr. Wang continued to talk, and once the truth is revealed, does it mean that the place where he committed suicide and his body are found? In this case, does it follow that the wooden man under the ancestral hall courtyard will be the real 'corpse' of Chen Guzi?
I feel like I want to eat chickens on the ground right now, and my head is about to break!
Mr. Wang stared at me and asked, do you know what this means?
I'm tentatively speaking, it means that my grandfather's method of using the portrait as a corpse has failed, and it also means that the set of procedures we used to build a dojo for Chen Guzi have been in vain, and we have to go through it all over again?
When Mr. Wang heard what I said, he almost jumped up and cursed. He said, "What a stinky thing in your house!" This means that we will never be able to crack the Baili Corpse Monument!
I asked, why? Just bury the 'body', right?
Mr. Wang said, you are as stupid as a cancer bag (stone)! That wooden man was carved by the old carpenter. He has every way to make that wooden man disappear again without anyone noticing! By that time, we will no longer be able to find anything to replace Chen Guzi's corpse. Tell me, we are going to break a hundred-mile corpse monument? !
That’s it, that’s it! No wonder Wu Tinghan must dig graves at night. No wonder Wu Tinghan said from the beginning that some things are inherently shady. It turns out that the stakes are here!
I never thought that a simple grave digging would contain so many details.
If Wu Tinghan had been a little careless and chose to dig graves at noon, as Mr. Wang said, digging graves at noon was the best time, then all of us might have died at that time.
To use a popular Internet term to describe Wu Tinghan, it is 'Wu Tinghan YYDS (Eternal God)'!
But that's not right. Since the other party can carve a wooden figure to serve as Chen Guzi's body, and you, Mr. Wang, are also a carpenter, can't you make it according to the law? Wouldn't it be enough to bury Chen Guzi's body when the time comes?
Mr. Wang shook his head and said, "When I carve wooden figures, it's the same as the Wu family's paintings. They need to be replaced by living people as reference, otherwise the carved things will not work at all."
Only then did I remember that when Mr. Wang carved a wooden figure to replace me, he asked me to move it; when he made a paper figure to replace me, he also asked me to dot the eyes. This was all done while I was still alive, and all involved me.
The reason why the old carpenter was able to use the wooden man to replace Chen Guzi's body must have been carved when Chen Guzi was still alive, and he must have let Chen Guzi touch the wooden man so that he could replace his body.
So scheming, so scheming! Even if the opponent has taken this step, how can we fight the next battle?
I used to often hear people say that they are not afraid of god-like opponents, but they are afraid of pig-like teammates. I think people who can say this have never really encountered a god-like opponent - because once they do, they will There was no chance for me to say this!
But it’s not right. Since Chen Guzi’s coffin cannot be buried anywhere, why is Wu Tinghan so sure that he can be buried in my yard?
After all, as long as there is a burial, it will not take long for the other party to bury the wooden man under the coffin. Will the portrait still shed tears by then?
Mr. Wang said, don’t ask me, this is something I have never thought about.
I remember that when Mr. Wang was at the ancestral hall during the day, the expression on his face kept changing. In the end, although he became more enlightened, there was still a trace of doubt in it. Now that I think about it, I probably didn't figure this out.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt blessed. I looked at Mr. Wang and Wu Tinghan and said, while the wooden man is still in the ancestral hall, why don't we go over and burn it with a fire? Chen Guzi is dead, I don't believe that the old carpenter prepared dozens of wooden figures in advance!
As soon as they finished speaking, Mr. Wang and Wu Tinghan looked at me like I was an idiot, especially the latter. After taking one look, they even turned their heads to the side, as if they didn't even bother to look at me.
Mr. Wang even sighed, "Come on, tell me, that 'body' can't be found. If you burn it, doesn't that mean you've discovered it?" When you really burn it, okay, just help him burn Chen Guzi’s only corpse, he wants it all!
I was immediately stunned by what Mr. Wang said. Speaking of which, doesn’t that mean that there is absolutely nothing we can do against that wooden man?
Mr. Wang nodded and said, "That's really it. Apart from turning a blind eye, no other means can be used." Because once you use it, it means you have discovered it. This is the great thing about that old carpenter. You clearly know his tricks, but you just can't do anything about him.
I felt frustrated when I heard this. Isn't this the popular saying of 'I like how you can't stand me but can't kill me'? I guess that old guy is hiding somewhere now, secretly admiring the frustrated and disappointed expressions on our faces.
Let me tell you, is there nothing we can do?
Wu Tinghan, who had been silent for a long time, finally spoke up and said, if there is no other way, why go to all the trouble to move Chen Guzi's coffin to your yard?
Let me tell you, my yard doesn’t have copper or iron walls. Didn’t that old carpenter just come...
At this point, I suddenly paused and looked at Wu Tinghan with excitement, saying, "You mean, my grandfather left some powerful formation in my house that would make even the old carpenter's craftsmanship useless." Is it right to cast it here? Just like the Locked Dragon Well in Lao Sicheng!
Wu Tinghan snorted coldly when he heard this and said, there are still people in this world who dare to compare craftsmanship with Luo Chaoting's methods. Do you know what is meant by "If God did not give birth to me, Luo Chaoting, craftsmanship will be as long as the night"?
I know my grandfather cannot be compared with Luo Chaoting, but am I just making an analogy?
Besides, if my grandfather hadn't left some powerful formations near my house, how could you be so confident in moving Chen Guzi's coffin?
Wu Tinghan said, I said at noon, find a place to bury where the truth will never be revealed, and your home is this place.
I don't understand at all, how could my family meet such conditions if my grandfather hadn't left behind the formation.
Wu Tinghan said, because Chen Guzi died before your grandfather.
Before I could figure it out, Mr. Wang suddenly slapped his thigh and said, Damn it, I know something is going on! Did I just forget about this incident? Alas, alas, I am getting older, I am getting older...
I hurriedly asked Mr. Wang, do you know what's going on? Tell me quickly.
Mr. Wang said, have we analyzed before that Chen Guzi committed suicide before your grandfather died?
I nodded and said, yes, that's why my grandfather died early.
Mr. Wang said, isn’t this obvious? Wherever Chen Guzi commits suicide, he cannot commit suicide in your house, because in that case, your grandfather will definitely prevent Chen Guzi from committing suicide in order to ensure that the agreed time with me remains unchanged.
He continued to talk, but your grandfather left early, which meant that Chen Guzi's death was unexpected by him. In this case, Chen Guzi must have committed suicide in hiding. Have we already thought of this before?
I nodded hurriedly, and the thoughts in my mind suddenly became clear. Therefore, in order to prevent my grandfather from finding out, Chen Guzi would definitely not do something blatantly in my house. In other words, anywhere in the village could be Chen Guzi’s sad place, but my home would definitely not be it!
Mr. Wang said, yes! That's what I mean! So that wooden man may go anywhere, but he will definitely not enter your house! Because even if I enter your house, there is no way to turn your house into a sad place for Chen Guzi, let alone to make the portrait continue to cry! You may even lose a wooden person and trade at a huge loss!
After finishing speaking, Mr. Wang and I looked at each other, and then both looked at Wu Tinghan as if we were looking at monsters - she just glanced at the ancestral hall, and ended up coming up with so many details. It's really Is it possible for people to do it?
No matter what, I want to kneel down and lick Wu Tinghan, and no one can stop me! Wu Tinghan YYDS!
At this moment, the six people were just flattening the sealing soil of the new tomb. I was going to go up and say a few words of thanks, but I saw them suddenly throw away the shovels in their hands, walk out of the courtyard with their eyes closed, and go up the mountain to the end of the village. Walked in the direction.
When Wu Tinghan saw this, he whispered: Is this the Nine Corpses Statue? After two days here, I finally saw it. Follow along and take a look!
