The fifty-ninth chapter copper plate replaces the dead for the soul
When I saw a clump of dark, water-weed-like things looming in the water, I knew the person I was looking for had arrived!
I don't dare to face Ye Xu, who has become a water ghost, like this in the water. Fortunately, I am now standing firmly on the cement steps with both feet, not very close to the water. In addition, no one seems to be using this place recently, and the steps are very
It's dry, there's no water, and I'm not worried about what Ye Xu can do to me.
After all, one of the characteristics of water ghosts is that they are extremely powerful in the water and have no lethality when they come ashore. This is why he wanted to lure Zhang Wei into the water today, and he had to have an external soul in front to cooperate with the pulling.
I took out the half bottle of white wine I brought and opened the lid.
I advised the dead souls to call their names when drinking. I slowly poured liquor into the river and called softly, "Ye Xu, drink. After receiving this glass of wine, you should go on your way without worrying about the world."
I kept shouting and pouring until the bottle in my hand was completely empty, and then I saw that the waterweed that had been moving very quickly now looked swaying, slow, and a little drunk.
It seems that Ye Xu has really drank all the wine I brought, and he should be on his way up now.
Then a pale, swollen face emerged from the water. Although only the chin was exposed, and the neck and body were still in the water, I still recognized that this was Ye Xu.
He just looked at me with a pale face and red eyes. He opened his mouth and let the dirty river flow into his mouth and nose, "bastard... hiccup... I want you to be my substitute!"
In fact, when I saw him like this, I felt a little pity. I thought it was quite pitiful that this man died in the river at such a young age. But with just this sentence, I immediately dispelled the sympathy in my heart.
Clean and tidy.
I used the same attitude I had towards him before and said with annoyance, "Ye Xu, after drinking my wine, you have to do one thing as I say. You can't be as unruly as you are when you are a ghost, understand?"
?”
The oaths made by ghosts go directly to heaven and earth, so whether they are ghosts or gods, they attach great importance to their oaths and will not swear easily.
What I was thinking about this time was this trick. Giving the ghost alcohol is the same as letting him agree to my conditions. I take the opportunity to tell my request, and the ghost has no chance to resist at this time.
It was also the nursery rhyme my grandfather read in his dream that inspired me, and I was able to think of this.
"You...you are despicable..."
Now this scene is both horrifying and a bit ridiculous. A man is standing on the shore in the middle of the night, talking calmly to a drunken and terrifying water ghost with a big tongue.
I actually don’t feel scared at all now, just because this is Ye Xu, who has been very hateful since he was a child. He was often beaten by me until he went to his mother to complain!
Die, die, once die, a hundred will die.
No matter what grievances I had during my lifetime, by this time, I no longer hate him. He has already paid for his mistakes.
Ye Xu staggered over and wanted to grab my wrist, pull me into the water and drown me, acting as his substitute.
Of course I didn't let him succeed, and since he was drunk and had poor accuracy, I easily dodged him, so I pulled him out of the inner world and hit him on the head with the stick covered with ghost-killing curses.
He wasn't cruel, and it wasn't even one-third as hard as the one he used to hit Xiao Taohong this evening.
The main reason is to scare Ye Xu and not ask him to come over and cause trouble.
I don't have the ability to send a water ghost directly to the underworld. I can only send him to the City of Fushun. When the opportunity comes, Ye Xu will embark on the road of reincarnation.
He took out the prepared boat, unfolded it and placed it on the water of the river. He lit the small candle on the paper boat as a guiding light for Ye Xu to enter the city of vain death.
The candles were lit, emitting a long light on the river.
I shouted, "Ye Xu, why don't you get on the boat? Isn't the water cold?"
This sound was to awaken the last wish in Ye Xu's soul and inspire his strong desire to leave the bottom of the water. Only if he climbed onto the paper boat himself could the boat go all the way west and take him away from here, no longer in the river.
suffer.
Ye Xu's body is very big and clumsy, and he almost overturned the small paper boat several times. It is said that the soul is weightless, but the water ghost's whole body was covered with water, and the paper boat was afraid of water, so he got on the boat
The chances of success are not many.
It just depends on whether he can catch him or not. The reason why he is as obedient as he is now is also because of the drink. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that he will not be aggressive and will docilely give in after making a fuss for a while.
The suffering of water ghosts is recorded in books. They cannot leave the water every day. Half of the ghost's life will be lost every time you come out of the water. It is an extremely cold place under the water. In addition, the water slides, and every time you come out of the water, it is like a knife edge.
Severe pain that cuts through the flesh.
It's okay that the body was salvaged, but if the body cannot be salvaged due to various external reasons, and you have to watch your body being eaten by fish, shrimps and crabs, what kind of mental torture would it be.
And it is precisely because of this that if Ye Xu misses the opportunity to climb onto the paper boat, he will definitely wake up drunk and fight with me ferociously, or even die together. The other bottle of kerosene in my pocket is prepared for this.
As a last resort, I can only attack with fire. Water ghosts are born with water, but they are also naturally afraid of fire. Fortunately, it seems that the last kerosene will not be used.
After Ye Xu's round soul body hit the paper boat, it gradually shrank, turned into the same proportion as the paper boat, and sat in the paper boat.
At the same time, I prepared a copper plate with chicken blood in my hand and sent it into the river.
The copper plate is something that sinks when it enters the water. If it falls directly to the bottom, it will carry chicken blood with vitality and yang energy. This is something that fools people. It makes the laws of heaven think that there is indeed another living person who has replaced this water ghost and continues to stay.
In the water.
As the chicken blood on the copper plate is gradually diluted by the water, the living creature becomes a dead ghost, which is what it means.
After Ye Xu got on the boat, his shrunken figure changed to what he looked like before he was alive. He sat dumbly. I thought to myself, "Looking at my height, is this guy as tall as a giant, so he can be so honest?"
The river flows from west to east, but the thin paper boat with a small piece of wax lit on it strangely goes against the current toward the west, going farther and farther.
After crossing the small bridge at the edge of the village, it disappeared.
I don't know if the paper boat sank into the water, but I know that I succeeded. Ye Xu has been freed. At least he is not waiting in the river for someone with bad luck to pass by, so that he can take the opportunity to harm others.
My matter was settled, but I still didn't feel relaxed. I was worried about Uncle Wu and didn't know what the situation was like over there!
