Chapter 7 The Female Corpse in Red
The female corpse has a beautiful appearance and a voluptuous figure. Her face is smeared with rouge and gouache. If you smell it carefully, there is a faint body fragrance.
The cause of death was suffocation. There was an obvious strangulation mark on his neck. His body was clean and there was no soil. He did not crawl out of the soil. It is unknown what happened.
It is easy to dispose of the corpse after it is clean. All you need to do is wipe off the rouge and gouache on the face of the female corpse.
This is also the rule for cleaning up corpses. Before burning the corpse, the corpse must be restored to its original appearance. Otherwise, if the seductive ghost mistakenly identifies the wrong person, big trouble will happen.
Wearing linen and mourning, the face of the female corpse was cleaned with a damp cloth. Without the color of makeup and powder, the female corpse returned to its original appearance, with a somewhat grayish complexion. This is a normal phenomenon after death.
Overall, her appearance has not changed, and she is not the type who will die after removing her makeup.
At this time, Qin He also discovered that the female corpse was holding a white handkerchief in her hand and pulled it tightly.
I tried using both hands together but still couldn't pull it out. I looked carefully and saw that it was a piece of Suzhou embroidery with fine stitches and red patterns on it. Unfortunately, it was held in the palm of my hand and I couldn't see the whole thing.
Qin He didn't dare to try again. The female corpse was so attached to this handkerchief. It must be a deep obsession. If she used force, something bad would happen.
Without further delay, he immediately moved the corpse to the furnace and burned it with strong wind. This corpse made him feel uneasy.
A corpse wrapped in red is never an auspicious sign.
In the blazing flames, the body remained motionless, showing no signs of transformation.
But Qin He was still worried. He touched the oil drum next to him, shook it up with a ladle, and poured a spoonful of kerosene on the female body. His eyes never left the body, and he was ready to use the nail to hold the body down at any time.
Kerosene is used for burning corpses, and the amount is very small. Corpse cremators are very economical and only use it when they encounter corpses that feel very bad, so as to burn them as quickly as possible.
However, Qin He's pupils shrank at this moment.
It wasn't that the corpse had moved, but that he found that the handkerchief in the female corpse's hand... was missing.
The female corpse's palms were open and empty.
A chill rushed from the soles of Qin He's feet to Naoren, and he quickly took several steps back.
The handkerchief was not burned because there was no ashes in the palm of the hand, it just disappeared.
Qin He held the corpse-suppressing nail in his hand, his palms a little sweaty.
The five years of internal energy that had just been eaten in the body was obviously stimulated by something, and it was stirring back and forth.
The tension in his back told him that there was something behind him.
Qin He had no way of knowing what the thing behind him was, but it didn't move. Maybe it was his own inner energy, or maybe it was the corpse-killing nail in his hand.
You must not look back at this time, otherwise you will be fatal in an instant.
This is a supernatural event that is even weirder than corpse transformation, involving something on another level.
The next time seemed extremely long to Qin He.
Under tension, the passage of time becomes unreal.
I don’t know how long it took, whether it was half an hour or an hour, the corpse in front of me gradually turned into charcoal.
The Yin Qi behind him slowly retreated and disappeared without a trace.
Qin He breathed a sigh of relief and turned around slowly. There was nothing behind him, as if the feeling just now was an illusion.
The huge gray and white curtain slowly lowered, and the sound of wooden bangs penetrated the dim light.
The shadow puppet interpretation is like fantasy and reality, it is the life of the female corpse.
She was originally a daughter of an official, and had been educated and literate since she was a child. Her father was a censor of Youdu, the capital procuratorate.
Four years ago, his father and twelve officials from the court jointly impeached the current Wei Qiansui for seven major crimes, including corruption, bending the law, forming cliques for personal gain, and causing trouble in the harem, in an attempt to bring down the eunuch party in one fell swoop.
But they failed, and the officials who signed the alliance were imprisoned and killed. The men were exiled to the army, and the women were sent to the priest's office.
The so-called Jiaoshifang is a courtyard dedicated to the enjoyment of the powerful in the Ming Dynasty.
If a guilty woman enters that place, she has entered the tiger's mouth. The only way out is to be favored by some powerful people and redeem her body. Otherwise, her fate will be very miserable.
Because of her reading, literacy, playing, playing and singing, the woman soon became popular among the people, and her fame gradually increased. Finally, during a dance, she was spotted by Xu Huai'en, the son of the King of Zhongshan, and she was redeemed from the priest's square.
However, what awaits her is not a twist of fate, but death.
After entering the Zhongshan Prince's Palace, she spent a period of time living like a paradise with no worries about food and clothing, and Xu Huaien treated her with great kindness.
However, the good times did not last long. One day after the woman had finished her dinner under the service of the servant, she suddenly felt that her whole body was unbearably hot, and she had an affair with a guest in a daze.
This scene happened to be caught by Xu Huaien. Xu Huaien was furious and ordered the woman to be strangled to death on the spot.
A talented woman of a generation died in a wealthy mansion just like this.
After the woman's death, a sinister wind arose, and the palace servants thought the body was ominous, so they sent it to a crematorium.
The shadows and lanterns capture the soul, and the judgment weighs the person. The man in black robe opens his mouth: his smile is like a flower, and his jade voice is gentle and flowing. He does not know that the human heart is separated from the belly, even if he is full of talent and wisdom, it will be in vain.
The water patterns dispersed, and light appeared all over Qin He's body. A reminder in his mind: You have gained ten years of Taoism.
Qin He was delighted, this reward was quite good.
I used to chat with other corpse cremators, and they said that those monks and Taoists who specialize in dealing with supernatural events are compared to Taoism.
The corpse burners couldn't tell exactly what Daoxing was. It seemed to be another system parallel to Neijing, but it focused on monsters, ghosts, and supernatural beings. It could be used to hurt people, but it was far less direct than Neijing.
After ten years of Taoism, there is no problem in dealing with small supernatural events. For ordinary people to reach that level, it will take at least ten years of hard work, and a master will be required to convey the message.
It seems that this reward is indeed closely related to the burned corpse. The reward for supernatural events is much stronger than that of ordinary corpses.
What Qin He didn't understand was why supernatural events occurred on the woman's body. The disappearing handkerchief was never performed in the shadow puppet show, which was really strange.
However, Qin He is not a person who likes to get into trouble. If he can't figure it out, he won't think about it.
Anyway, the reward has been obtained. What he wants to do now is to make himself stronger as soon as possible. His current strength is still far from self-protection.
Roll up your sleeves and work harder.
"ah!!"
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from not far away.
Qin He hurriedly looked in that direction. After being quiet for a while, people finally started to die again.
I don't know which crematorium it is.
The officer on duty soon gave the answer.
"There is a vacancy in crematorium No. 2, please fill it in as soon as possible!"
Qin He was stunned.
Number 2 is the oldest cremator at the Dongcheng Crematorium. His name is Ma Tuzi. He was originally a pig butcher. He survived in the crematorium for half a year with his evil spirit.
Unexpectedly, it came to an end tonight.
…
After dawn, the cremators gathered at the door of Room No. 2 and watched as the body of Ma Butuzi, wrapped in black cloth, was loaded onto a corpse truck and left.
When they are no longer visible and disperse again, they are considered to have said goodbye.
Everyone will still remember him in three to five days, because it is too rare to survive half a year in the crematorium.
