Chapter 147: Changing lives
Qian Chi sat in the corner, silent, not knowing what he was thinking.
My Adam's apple moved slightly, thinking of the scene of Gan Chi kissing a deer's head.
"Holy shit! Is it true?!" Zhang Geng touched his arm: "Officer Wang, don't scare me, I'm getting goosebumps! How can a dead cat come back to life?"
Wang Liqing did not answer Zhang Geng, but instead asked Qian Chi: "Qian Chi, what do you think? Can a dead cat come back to life?"
Qianchi's voice came out through the mask, a bit low and muffled.
She said: "Then let me also tell a story. The name of the story is "Resurrection"."
Gan Chi's voice was calm and dry, and the story he told was not as ups and downs and full of suspense as Wang Liqing's.
But her story is obviously weirder than Wang Liqing's.
The protagonist of the story is a woman named Liu Cui. Her family has an ancient and mysterious secret technique-Guo Yin.
It is not uncommon to cross the underworld. Many goddesses and masters are more or less able to do so. They go to the underworld to find specific ghosts, ask some questions, or help the ghosts fulfill their wishes.
The Liu family is different from others. In addition to being able to cross the underworld, they can also bring the souls of the dead back from the underworld.
Of course, all this requires equal exchange.
A life for a life.
There are four major taboos in the Liu family's secret technique: first, the soul does not need to be reborn from a living person, and usually requires the life of an animal, such as stray cats and dogs, or cattle, horses, and pigs; second, the time of death cannot exceed twenty-four
hours, otherwise weird things that are difficult to control will happen; third, do not change the lives of underage children; fourth, they cannot be born in the yin time.
Some people who have exchanged their lives can live for three to five years, and some can only live for a year and a half. This is related to how much life is left in the animal with which they are exchanged.
Liu Cui only explained the taboo to the family members of those who changed their lives, but did not tell them why.
Liu Cui knew that if these families knew that the lifespan of the exchanged animals played a vital role, many cats, dogs, cows and horses would not survive to grow up.
Liu Cui heard from her mother that her ancestors changed the life of a person who had been dead for more than 24 hours. As a result, the person went crazy after being resurrected and killed everyone in the family.
The reason why children's lives are not changed is because the children are too young. No matter how many years they live, relatives will feel that it is not enough and want to change their lives again.
However, resurrecting once was already the limit, and Liu Cui did not have the ability to change her life a second time.
I heard that there was someone in our ancestors who could help people change their lives indefinitely, but the secret technique has been passed down to this day, and it no longer has the original ability.
Liu Cui originally didn't want to do this business. She felt that dealing with the underworld was too evil and prone to disadvantages and shortcomings.
But the current environment is really not good. Layoffs are happening everywhere, white-collar workers are living in panic, workers are trembling, and only those bosses with general bellies are getting richer and richer.
In order to survive, Liu Cui had no choice but to engage in the business of changing people's lives.
In their line of work, they rely on word of mouth.
The matter of exchanging lives and resurrecting people is somewhat mysterious. Many people are willing to pay large sums of money for their loved ones.
Soon, Liu Cui lived in a big house and drove a car.
However, less than half a month later, the house caught fire and the car had an accident.
Liu Cui was almost burned to death or hit to death.
Liu Cui could only live back in the village and donated all her money, and her life became easier.
Liu Cui raised a few chickens and grew vegetables.
That day, while she was weeding in the garden, a middle-aged man driving a Mercedes came to her door.
He picked up a five or six-year-old little girl from the car.
He wanted to change his daughter's life.
Liu Cui told him her taboos and rejected him.
The man shed tears silently, hugged the girl's body tightly, knelt on the ground and begged pitifully.
Liu Cui couldn't bear it, but she still didn't let go.
If you only bring the child back for a few years, the child will die again, and the man will suffer the pain of losing a loved one again, and he will be even more sad than he is now.
In the end, Liu Cui agreed to take action.
It wasn't because of the man's pleading, it wasn't because of the man's money, it was because the man put the knife on her neck.
The man's eyes were red, filled with crazy colors.
Liu Cui had no doubt that if she disagreed, he would really kill her.
"How long have you been dead?"
"Ten hours."
"Write her birthday to me."
"..."
It's not Yin Shi Yin Fate, so apart from being a child, it doesn't seem to be a big problem.
"You can buy a chicken from someone in the village, or bring a pig to me..."
The man opened the trunk, and there was a young man inside.
Liu Cui was beating her heart.
"Use him!"
The man shed tears again. He began to tell how the man in the trunk followed his daughter and how he molested and raped her. When he got emotional, the man burst into tears and burst into tears.
The man in the trunk widened his eyes in horror, his mouth was covered with a white cloth, and he couldn't speak. He was shaking his head desperately.
He is begging.
The man is also begging.
In the end, Liu Cui chose to trust the man. After all, in addition to begging, the man also held a sharp knife in his hand.
Liu Cui asked the man to buy a lot of incense candles and ghost coins, and ordered him to burn paper aside.
"The ceremony will not stop, the flame will not go out, so be careful."
The man nodded like he was pounding garlic, burning paper in one hand and holding a knife in the other.
Respect and threats reached a strange balance in him, making all his actions reasonable.
"Master, besides burning paper, do you need me to do anything else?"
Liu Cui pondered for a moment, then decided to give a few words of advice: "While I am doing this, please do not interrupt or stop. No matter what you see, please do not get close to your daughter."
The man agreed again and again.
Liu Cui cut her palm, wiped the blood on the girl's eyelids and forehead, and then tied a red rope around her and the girl's wrists.
Liu Cui threw out a handful of soaked glutinous rice, which fell on the ground and on the two people.
Liu Cui began to scream.
"The soul is back, it's back——!"
Liu Cui put her hands up, spread her legs, and danced a strange dance. Each of her joints was convex or concave, strangely not like joints, but more like a rusted machine.
There were words in her mouth, but each sentence became stranger and stranger, intermittent, ups and downs, strange and eerie.
The flames of burning paper shot up into the sky, yellow and flickering.
Liu Cui's body was still dancing mechanically, but her eyes turned upward, revealing only the whites of her eyes.
In the final analysis, the secret technique is to bribe the ghosts in the underworld with ghost coins to make them turn a blind eye, then exchange them with life span, and finally bring the ghosts back to the earth.
