"What did you mean by what you just said? How could you know that my methods are useless!"
Yue Guanchao could tell that Ren Kongque was very serious about entering the underworld. He had just heard that her method was useless for the first time, so he had already shown panic on his face. When the nurse left, he would definitely ask questions.
"The gate of hell you entered is between Chencang Road and Baoxie Road, near the cave, right?"
Before Yue Guanchao finished speaking, Ren Peacock nodded and acquiesced to his guess.
"That's right, going to the gate of hell requires a specific ritual. Just letting the dead go to the gate of hell is useless."
He had just listened to the conversations of these Taoists in the courtyard of Yizhuang. Most of them were just for exorcising corpses. As for how to enter the ghost gate, they didn't know. They were even just helpers hired by Ren Peacock, not even relatives or friends.
"I don't believe it. There's no way I won't be able to get in after offering sacrifices to Donghuang. This is old nonsense. It can't be wrong."
As expected, it was the old fool who told me. Yue Guanchao waved his hand: "Have you ever been to the Gate of Hell?"
"No, this old man talks confusingly. I can only remember a rough idea. I heard that only the dead can enter the underworld."
When Ren Peacock mentioned this, his guilt and anxiety were already reflected in his eyes. If he hadn't been so impatient, someone like her wouldn't have acted so recklessly.
"That's right, among our people there is an old man who has been through the underworld, and he has also come out of the underworld. He enters and exits according to his method, and there is no problem with the designation!"
Yue Guanchao's words sparked new hope in Ren Kongque's eyes, and he looked at him curiously: "It turns out that you are local masters, no wonder you are so cunning and full of evil."
"Sister, I don't want to talk about this. Then why did you go to the ghost gate? Why did you go to the grave if it wasn't for the treasure?"
Yue Guanchao's words made Ren Kongque realize that both parties had other purposes. She sighed: "You have no choice but to come down with me and have a look, and you will know."
"Go down?"
Yue Guanchao's eyes became confused. Down below should be the main hall of the inn, which is the place to eat.
After Ren Peacock finished speaking, he opened the door and took him out of the room. When he reached the end of the corridor, he could see a wood-carved statue of the fox god sitting in the round arch niche, with a fox head and body, colorful silk clothes, holding a magic seal in his hand and hugging the magic statue. device.
The fox's eyes were white and black like human eyes, strange and mysterious, and the herbs were fragrant, but somehow they smelled similar to hers.
"What the hell is this?"
"Don't worry about it."
Let the peacock twist the lamp next to it, the shrine roared backwards several times, and a dark gap appeared. Looking through it by candlelight, there was a locked door inside.
She picked up the key and opened the door. The two of them walked down the stairs. When they got to the end, it was obviously a darkroom under the shopkeeper's building. Without the fire wall to heat up, it was as cold as an ice cellar.
Not far from them, three stone wells were built. There was a roaring sound inside and a cold wind blew. Most of the coldness here was caused by the cold and damp air coming out of the well mouths.
There was a large coffin parked next to the wellhead. When Yue Guanchao saw the dead man's coffin under the house, he felt uneasy. Could it be that this eldest sister wanted to destroy the body and eliminate traces of it? Thinking of this, Yue Guanchao regretted that he came down like this, with only a candlestick in his hand. I can't find anything to defend myself.
Ren Peacock's thoughtful mind saw the worry in his eyes and waved his hand: "Don't worry, what's in this coffin is Brother Zhi, my late husband. I won't do anything to you!"
"It seems that the inn owner has been dead for ten years? Can his body still be preserved?"
After Ren Kongque heard this, he knew that he had inquired about him, and retorted with an unhappy look on his face: "Brother Zhi is not dead, he just lost his popularity, and he can't wake up for the time being. I only talked about him in order to take over the chores at the station." already dead."
"Look if you don't believe me."
Ren Peacock pulled him and pushed open the coffin. The body inside was that of a Shaanxi man with a square face and a broad forehead. He was about the same height as Yue Guanchao. He was wearing a white sweatshirt, and his strong body had an outline. There was no decay or smell on the whole. It might have been After lying down for a long time, he became slightly pale and showed red bloodshot eyes.
It is impossible for a corpse that has been dead for ten years to still look rosy, as if it were asleep.
Yue Guanchao saw the body was intact with his own eyes, and he also wondered in his heart, is the owner of the inn alive or dead?
He walked to the man's coffin, pulled out a piece of hair and brought it to the tip of his nose. There was only a slight movement in the hair, which showed that although he was breathing, it was already weak. Knowing that he was not dead, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Since he's not dead, why don't you ask a doctor to take a look at him? It's not a solution if he doesn't wake up for more than ten years!"
Ren Peacock sighed, and said with a helpless expression: "It's useless. People who look at things say that I am a girl from the Luohua Cave. Brother Zhi's luck was taken away by the cave god. As long as he gets his luck back, he will To be able to return to normal, I have been feeding him rice cereal mixed with medicinal herbs for these years, always saying that the souls of the dead will report to the Kunlun Earth Gate first, and if his luck is not with him, it must be at the Earth Gate."
"So, if you want to use the corpse to open the door to the ground, you just want to..."
Ren Peacock caressed the corpse's face with tender eyes, turned around and his eyes became firm: "Yes, go to the gate of the earth to invite the husband's soul!"
