Soon it was late at night again, and the chirping sound of the takeaway was very uncomfortable. I even felt a little paranoid about the noise of the wind, the cranes, and the grass and trees.
"Nephew, I'm really sorry. There is something I forgot to tell you. Niu Gui and Ru Nu have learned a new skill, that is, they have learned how to return souls. They can enslave lonely ghosts and pour them into corpses before they act. ability. So, be careful." Chen Wanjia said so seriously that we all were a little confused, because as far as I know, soul reversion is an evil magic that has been extinct for more than a century. How could it be mastered by monsters again? Woolen cloth?
Chen Wanjia added: "Don't think it's strange. Soul return is actually something we Chinese people have studied. Moreover, we are still scholars. Let me tell you in detail."
"During the Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty, there was a man named Xu Jichang. He was from Linzi and lived in Mofangzhuang in the east of the city. He wanted to obtain fame by studying, but failed, so he became a clerk in the grassroots government. Although, he couldn't. He was an official, but it was good to be an errand for the government. He accidentally went to his in-laws' home and had to pass by the Yu family's grave. He got drunk and went home in the dark. When he passed the grave, suddenly, a large building appeared out of thin air in front of him. A beautiful and beautiful attic. Look at the many beautiful pavilions there, and there is an old man sitting in front of the door. Xu Jichang was thirsty after drinking and wanted to drink water, so he bowed to the old man and asked for a bowl of water. "
"The old man stood up, invited him in, and came to the lobby to give him water. After Xu Jichang drank the water, the old man said, "It's difficult to walk at night. How about staying here for the time being and leaving early tomorrow morning?" "Xu Jichang was also very tired, so he happily agreed. Maybe he was emboldened by the drunkenness, or maybe he really didn't know that this old man was not a human being. The old man asked his family to serve wine to entertain the guests, and he said to Xu Jichang Said: "I have a job, please don't think I'm reckless. The purity of your family is admirable, and you can rely on it to get married. I have a little daughter and I want to marry her to you. I hope you will accept her. "Xu Jichang felt humble and uneasy about this, and didn't know how to answer."
"The old man sent someone to tell his relatives that after all, things like starting a family and marrying a daughter are the top priority of the family and must be treated as a serious matter, so he sent a message to his daughter to dress up. It didn't take long, and four or five of them wore People wearing tall hats and long, wide belts came one after another. These people looked like the bride, and the people dressing the bride and groom. After doing this, the old man’s woman was also dressed gloriously. The eye-catching clothes come out, and the figure and appearance are outstanding."
"So everyone sat together drinking and eating. Xu Jichang was in a state of confusion. After all, the host's girl was very beautiful, and some of her beauty was beyond the limit. He no longer wanted to drink and eat, but he only wanted to get into the bridal chamber as soon as possible. A few toasts After drinking for the first time, he resolutely refused to drink. The old man asked the little maid to lead the couple to the new house to share the happiness of the couple. Xu Jichang asked the woman's surname and family situation, and the woman replied: "The surname is Xiao, Xingqi. "Xu Jichang asked about his family background again, and Xiao Qi said: "Although I come from a humble background and have little knowledge, it is enough for me to be a grassroots clerk. I think it won't humiliate you, so why keep asking like this! "Xu Jichang was infatuated with her beauty and tried his best to be intimate and gentle without any doubts." Xiao Qi said, "This cannot be our home. I know your sister is a kind person and may not stop us. You can go back and clean a house." , I will go by myself when the time comes." Xu Jichang agreed, and after saying that, he hugged her and fell asleep soon. In his sleep, that strange woman named Xiao Qi was practicing spells with him. In his dream, he could capture people's souls, pour them into new corpses, and enslave them with their anger. It was really strange. "
"When Xu Jichang woke up, there was nothing in his arms, as if he had had a very real dream for a long time. He didn't know whether what he learned in the dream was true, but at that time he really understood the dream. The spelling terms studied by Zhong and Xiao Qi were still fresh in his mind. There happened to be a newly dead bird nearby, and its body was still warm. He saw the bird soul floating away. He quickly caught the bird soul back. After reciting the incantation, he opened his hand to hang the bird soul in front of him and pointed at the bird corpse. Sure enough, the dead bird came to life again and obeyed Xu Jichang's orders very obediently. From then on, the bird always accompanied Xu Jichang."
"It was already dark at this time, and the pine trees blocked the morning light. Xu Jichang's body was covered with a foot of thick millet. Xu Jichang returned home with surprise and sigh, and told his wife what he had encountered. His wife did not believe it, but instead As if it was a joke, he cleaned a house, put a bed inside, closed the door, came out, and said to Xu Jichang: "The bride is coming tonight. I want to see what a beautiful bride you have. "The couple laughed together. The sun was setting. The wife jokingly pulled Xu Jichang to open the door and said, "Is the bride already in the house?" As soon as she walked in, she saw a beautiful woman wearing gorgeous clothes. Sitting on the bed. When the woman saw the two people coming in, she quickly stood up to greet them. Xu Jichang and his wife were shocked. One of them thought it was just a dream, and the other thought it was just a joke by her husband. Who knew that all this was true? Xu Jichang and his wife were shocked. The woman covered her mouth and giggled, saluting the couple with a very respectful attitude. Xu Jichang's wife then arranged the bed and quilt for them. Let them sleep together."
"Xiao Qi gets up early every day and takes care of the housework without anyone's help. Xu Jichang likes this kind of dislike very much. Even his first wife also likes her very much and has no intention of being jealous. One day, she said to Xu Jichang: "I My sisters and aunts all wanted to come to my house and take a look. "Xu Jichang was worried that there would be nothing to entertain the guests in the hurry. Xiao Qi said: "They all know that our family is not rich, so they all brought food first. They just asked our sister to cook it. "Xu Jichang told his wife about this, and his wife agreed. He waited for the ingredients and condiments to arrive in Li, and then started to show off his cooking skills."
"After breakfast, as expected, someone came carrying wine and meat. Those people put down their burdens and left. Xu Jichang's wife also volunteered to take on the work of the cook. In the evening, as expected, six or seven women arrived again, the oldest ones were no more. When they were in their forties, entering Xu Jichang's home was like arriving at their own home. They sat around drinking together, making the room full of laughter. Xu Jichang's wife lay on the window and looked in, only to see her husband and Xiao Qi is sitting opposite each other, and no other guests can see him."
"When the Big Dipper turned to the corner of the room, the guests left happily. Xiao Qi had not returned from seeing off the guests. When his wife looked at the table, she saw that the cups and plates were all bare. Although these people were all women, they had really big appetites. It was so big that it could even eat more than an adult man. Xu Jichang’s wife was also generous and said with a smile: “These girls are so hungry that they eat as cleanly as a dog licking a meat plate. "In a short time, Xiao Qi came back. He sincerely expressed his gratitude to Xu's wife again and again, grabbed the tableware and washed it himself, and urged Xu's wife to go to bed. Xu's wife said: "When guests come to our house, let them bring their own food. Drink, this is a big joke, I should invite you to another one tomorrow. "Xu Jichang naturally agreed. After all, he is not the kind of person who is as stubborn as a rooster."
"A few days later, Xu Jichang listened to his wife and asked Xiao Qi to invite guests again. When the guests came, they ate and drank as much as they could, leaving only four bowls of food and no chopsticks left. Xu Jichang asked why, and the guests smiled and said, "Mrs. Ours isn't, so those are reserved for the people who cook. "It turns out that this group of shrewd women learned the semantic connotation of Xu Jichang's wife from Xiao Qi's mouth, secretly saying that they should give food to people who are busy with food. There was a woman at the table, aged eighteen or nineteen. , wearing white shoes and white clothes, said she was recently widowed, Xiao Qi called her "Sixth Sister". Sixth Sister was very beautiful, charming, talkative and laughing. She and Xu Jichang gradually became familiar with each other, and they kept using teasing words Mocking Xu Jichang. Xu Jichang was not angry at all, he just smiled innocently."
"During the drinking order, Xu Jichang served as the supervisor. According to the regulations, joking was not allowed. The sixth sister violated it many times and was fined for more than ten glasses of wine in a row. She was drunk until her face was red and drunk. Her body was weak, lazy, and difficult to support. and left soon after. Xu Jichang carried a candle to look for her, and it turned out that she was sleeping soundly in the tent on the bed. Xu Jichang approached and kissed her, but she didn't wake up. He put his hand into her pants and felt her private parts bulge. Xu Jichang felt in his heart Just when he couldn't control himself, everyone at the table called him. He quickly arranged the clothes for the sixth sister. When he saw a silk scarf in the sixth sister's sleeve, he secretly put it away and then came out. When the night was late, the guests were all He stood up to leave, but Sixth Sister hadn't woken up yet. She was so drunk that she didn't even know she was being taken advantage of. Sure enough, drunk people have no moral character, and this was the case with drunk Xu Jichang. Sixth Sister was no less generous than Xu Jichang. "
"Seeing that Sixth Sister had been sleeping for a long time and didn't wake up for a long time, Xiao Qi went in and shook her, and she got up yawning, tied her skirt, straightened her hair, and left with everyone. Xu Jichang was very concerned about Sixth Sister and always felt in his heart Unable to put it down, he wanted to open it in a place where no one was around and take a look at the silk scarf she left behind. When he looked for it, it was gone. He also suspected that it had been left on the road when seeing off guests, so he took a lantern and searched carefully. There were no steps or courtyards anywhere. I felt like I had lost something and was very unhappy. Xiao Qi asked him, and he responded casually. Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Don't lie, the Lingjin family has already taken it away, and it was all in vain." Energetic. "Xu Jichang was surprised, so he told her the truth and said that he missed Sixth Sister very much. However, his behavior made Xiao Qi disdainful and reprimanded her and said: "Xu Jichang, you are a slut, Sixth Sister is not actually a living person. , but I captured her soul and poured it into the corpse of a newly deceased person to keep her alive. Didn’t you find that her body was lukewarm? In fact, she has been dead for a long time, and you still dare to molest a dead person. You are really shameless. I misjudged you. "After saying that, Xiao Qi wanted to leave, but it was Xu Jichang who kept asking for her so much that she finally agreed."
"Xiao Qi said: "She has no deeper fate with you. Your fate ends here. "Xu Jichang asked her why, and Xiao Qi said: "She was a prostitute during her lifetime, and you were a scholar. You fell in love with her when you met her. Because your parents blocked it, your wish was not fulfilled, and you got sick because of it. You are in critical condition. You asked someone to treat her. She said: 'I can't do it anymore. As long as you can come, let me touch your body and you will die without regrets. 'She was moved by your affection and agreed to your request. It happened that I couldn't arrive quickly because of trivial matters. When I went there the next day, the patient was already dead. So she and you had such a close connection in the previous life. Anything more than this cannot be achieved. You have been reincarnated as a human being, but after she died, she did not reincarnate for a long time, and she wanted to see you again, so she became like this. You will never see Sixth Sister again in the future. To be honest, although you are not a Taoist, you have the wisdom of a Taoist disciple. My being with you is all arranged by my father, in order to return the soul to this technique and spread it to the world. What a pity, you let me down so much! "Later, when Xu Jichang hosted a banquet to entertain those women, only the sixth sister stopped coming. Xu Jichang suspected that Xiao Qi was jealous, and was very dissatisfied with her, and did not believe Xiao Qi's advice at all."
"One day, Xiao Qi said to Xu Jichang: "Because of Sixth Sister, there is no reason for you to put the blame on me. She really refused to come, so why did she blame me? Now that we have been in love for eight years, we are about to break up. Let me try my best to think of a way for you to dispel your doubts about me in the past. Even though she doesn't come, why don't you let me go? If I go to her place to find her, maybe man can conquer heaven, maybe. I can help you, but you must promise me. My bottom line is that the method of returning souls must be spread throughout the world. "Xu Jichang was very happy and agreed to Xiao Qi, so he followed her. Xiao Qi held his hand, fluttering as if walking on the air, and arrived at her home in a short time. The big yellow brick house, There are many gates in the courtyard and the roads are winding and winding, which is not much different from the first time I saw it.”
"My father-in-law and mother-in-law came out together and said: "Our stupid daughter has been loved and cared for by you for a long time. Because we are old and frail, we can't visit home. You probably won't blame us!" After that, the banquet was put on the table, and Xu Jichang also returned the favor. She was polite and sensible, showing her understanding of them. Next, Xiao Qi asked about several sisters, and her mother said: "They all went back to their own homes, and only your sixth sister is here!" "Immediately asked the maid to invite the sixth lady to come. After a long time, the sixth sister did not come out. Xiao Qi went in and pulled her out. The sixth sister lowered her head and remained silent, not as natural as before. After a while, The old couple said goodbye and left, and Xiao Qi said to Sixth Sister: "My sister is self-respecting and makes people blame me. "Sixth sister smiled and said: "How can you get close to a frivolous man?" Xiao Qi picked up the wine glasses that the two had drank from, forced them to exchange drinks, and said, "I have already accepted the kiss, so there is no need to make any gestures!" "After a while, Xiao Qi walked away, and there were only two people left in the room."
"Xu Jichang suddenly got up and approached Sixth Sister, but Sixth Sister dodged and refused. Xu Jichang pulled her clothes and knelt down to beg her. Sixth Sister softened her attitude, and they walked into the inner room holding hands. Just as they were about to untie their clothes, they suddenly heard hissing. The shouts were earth-shattering, and the firelight shone through the crack of the door. The sixth sister was shocked, pushed Xu Jichang away, stood up, and said: "Disaster has suddenly struck, what should I do? "Xu Jichang didn't know what to do at this critical moment, and Sixth Sister had already disappeared without a trace. Now, the good thing he was about to do was interfered with, but he could only helplessly Sigh, as Xiao Qi said, the two of them have only a touch of each other."
"Xu Jichang sat there for a while, feeling lost, and saw that all the houses were gone. At this time, a dozen hunters came to him holding eagles and weapons, and asked in surprise: "Who is hiding in this place at night?" Xu Jichang made an excuse. He said he was lost and told them his name. A hunter said: "I just chased a fox, did you see it?" Xu Jichang replied: "No. "He took a closer look and found out that this was the Yu family's cemetery, so he went home gloomily. He also hoped that Xiao Qi would come back again. When he got up in the morning, he saw magpies on the branches, predicting that a happy event was coming; at night, when he saw the lights bursting, he predicted that a happy event was about to happen. I went to the hall, but no matter where I was, no news at all."
Xu Chengcheng stopped and then moved, and said: "I understand. After that, this little official named Xu Jichang really spread the soul return technique that Xiao Qi gave him. And, Xiao Qi and the others They are all not human beings, but undead. The strange thing is that the souls have been cultivated and returned. So, Uncle Master, what happens next? I think Xiao Qi’s family wants Xu Jichang to resurrect their whole family! "
"It is true, but the effect is not satisfactory, because the people he resurrected are all walking corpses, and they can only obey the orders of the caster. As for how this soul return technology was learned by Niu Gui and Ru Nu later, I don't know." After Chen Wanjia finished speaking, he took a sip of tea.
I nodded and said: "Xiao Qi? It sounds familiar to me, but I know a little about the story you just told. I have long heard that there is a family named Xiao in Linzi area who captures ghosts and injects the corpses of newly deceased people into them. Then it will be resurrected. I feel a bit like taking the body, but this method is much better than taking the body."
Su Fengfeng said: "What you are saying is that I have also heard about the Xiao family. The people in their family deal with evil ghosts all day long. As a result, the talent in the family has been withered. For many years, the population has not been prosperous. The people in the family Most people die young when they are in their thirties. If anyone can live to be fifty, for their family, it is considered a long life. It must be related to being contaminated with evil spirits. , but at the end of the Qing Dynasty, I heard that the Xiao family in Linzi had become extinct."
Li Huhu also spoke: "You said that this good family can't live a good life, so why do they catch wandering ghosts? The Xiao Qi that my uncle mentioned just now is obviously a ghost, but he is like a living person. After eight years, do you really have feelings? In fact, if you ask me, if a wanderer with bad behavior like Xu Jichang was really not simple, he would have been exterminated by ghosts long ago. In the end, the ghosts of the Xiao family I didn’t kill him, probably because I took a fancy to his excellent Dao roots, and used Xu Jichang’s technique of returning the souls of the Xiao family to survive, that’s all.”
Geng Biaobiao also said: "Yes, ghosts and other evil spirits are inherently harmful to living people, and they also practice such evil magic. Not to mention making the world angry and resentful, at least it will damage the moral character. Over time, the lives of the family members will be at risk. They have grown up, but they still don’t know how to restrain themselves. In the end, their family is ruined and they have no children or grandchildren, so they can’t blame anyone else.”
Everyone was talking to each other, which made Chen Wanjia speechless, and said: "Let's not talk about these things now, there are many lonely ghosts out there! You don't know what is going on, what if the cow ghost and the Ru Nu and the others have formed an army of living dead. Let me see how you deal with it. The main thing is that they are all living dead. The police don't care if these are people who have died long ago. If you really kill corpses like this, in the end, , you will also have to face a lawsuit."
As soon as Chen Wanjia finished speaking, I felt a slight sinister aura coming in, which was very strange.
Then, there was another noise outside the door. It seemed that something was about to happen again.
I walked out of the gate, and it turned out that some souls that were about to disperse were being pulled away by a few dead soul insects.
Geng Biaobiao was dumbfounded when he saw it, and said anxiously: "No, this is called Cao Cao. Is Cao Cao here? Niu Gui and Ru Nu are here so quickly, my god!"
I said: "Junior Brother Huang Sheng, you are too nervous. These dead soul insects do pull souls away, but these souls are incomplete and are about to disperse. Niu Gui and Ru Nu really want to use their souls to return them." Otherwise, she would not use such incomplete souls. There is only one situation, that is, Sun Ying is hungry and needs to use these incomplete souls to replenish her body."
Xu Chengcheng said: "Since Sun Ying is here, let's go find her and resolve the grudge between her and the master as soon as possible so that Sun Ying can be on my side! Don't you think so?"
But I waved my hand, rejected his suggestion and said: "No need. Now that Sun Ying needs to use her residual soul to restore her body, it means that she is very weak. Moreover, the divination shows that she will be in the near future. , will come to us. Do you understand? Let’s go back, let’s quickly think about how to deal with Niugui and Runu.”
That's what I said, but I kept it in mind. I quietly practiced the Celestial Eye Technique to facilitate remote observation of the enemy. After all, Sun Tzu said that if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious in any battle. Therefore, I deliberately used one of the forbidden techniques in the "Five Spirits Dharma Book" to practice. Although learning forbidden arts is risky, I have to do it. Because we ate so much.
After returning home, I used my energy to check, and I happened to vaguely see Sun Ying eating away the incomplete soul. At the same time, I also saw the body of a red-haired girl next to her.
At this time, I lost sight and fell into a state of temporary blindness. Sure enough, there is a price to pay for practicing forbidden arts. Now, I am a blind man, I just don’t know what Sun Ying is going to do.
Since I can't see anything, I'll use my brain to think of ways to deal with Niugui and Runu!
