"What can we do?" Lao Yutou and Lao Xu asked at the same time.
"This is not the place to talk, come with me!"
"Then what should they do?" Lao Xu asked, pointing to the body still tied with red thread in the room.
I thought about it and said:
"Burn them and explain to their families later, otherwise these corpses will still be controlled and will only become a pile of rotting corpses. Their families will probably be even more unacceptable."
Lao Xu hesitated for a moment,
"That's all I can do. I'll explain it to my relatives later. They still trust me."
Under the restraint of the Corpse Locking Curse, several corpses temporarily lost their ability to move. It was only temporary, so they had to be dealt with at this opportunity.
We used a cart to pull the body to the mountainside near the town where the fire was completely eliminated, so that the person behind the body who was controlling the body could sense it in time.
I believe it won't be long before we meet!
After disposing of the body, I dug a small pit in the nearby land using local materials. Then I took out a bottle of mineral water from my backpack and poured it into the pit. Then I poured the excavated soil into the mud water and started using it.
Hands and clay.
"What are you doing? Do you need my help?" Lao Xu squatted aside and asked curiously.
I don’t know why, but his name for me has changed.
Lao Yutou lay leisurely aside, stroking his remaining beard and saying:
"This kid always has a lot of clever ideas, so you don't have to worry about him."
I glared at Lao Yu, smiled and said to Lao Xu:
"Don't worry, I will really need your help later."
With that said, I started to knead the clay seriously.
After a few minutes, I made a large puddle of mud, then took out the pair of red wedding shoes, smeared the mud bit by bit until the surface of the shoes was completely covered, and then started baking it with a talisman fire.
After a while, the mud on the shoes slowly dried and felt a little hard, so I nodded with satisfaction.
"Let's go back to the well."
On the way down the mountain, I couldn't bear Lao Xu's questioning, so I started to explain:
"I used the soul-chasing spell before to find the specific whereabouts of the couple's souls. I never figured out why. It wasn't until Lao Yutou found the double happiness that I realized that the woman had drowned in the well, so
Her soul is probably hiding at the bottom of the well..."
"Can't we find it if we hide at the bottom of the well?" Lao Xu asked.
"Based on her birth date, the woman's five elements belong to fire. There is water in the well, and water overcomes fire. This means that the water at the bottom of the well can completely suppress the attributes of her soul. In this way, the soul-chasing curse will most likely not be able to find her.
.”
"Then what do you do with these shoes?"
"The couple died unexpectedly on the day they got married. This pair of shoes was worn by the woman before she died. After she drowned, the shoes left her feet and the clothes did not cover her body. There will be resentment in the soul. This is equivalent to the family members replacing the deceased before death.
You must have a complete change of clothes, and you will never be without shoes."
"So this pair of shoes will definitely attract her soul. This also verifies the possibility that the soul has been hiding at the bottom of the well. Because it is relatively close to the shoes, and the five elements of fire and earth are in harmony, it will have an impact on the soul.
Stronger attachment.”
After explaining, I never got a response from Lao Xu. I turned to look at him in confusion and found that he was looking at me with a strange look.
"What's wrong? What don't you understand?" I asked.
"Uh... I understand, I understand, I'm just a little weird..."
"What's weird?"
"I heard from Lao Yutou before that you had only been a beginner for a few months. I always thought that you were just a layman who had just stepped into Taoism. After tonight, I discovered that you are actually very knowledgeable about ghost arts.
So transparent.”
"Haha...haha..."
Lao Yutou beside him burst out laughing, his face full of pride, as if Lao Xu was praising him.
It didn't take long for us to return to the well in the fence garden. I took out the yin and yang disk and fiddled with the pointer, and walked around the well a few times, and I had a general idea in my mind.
Then he took out a small red flag and placed it in the southwest position of the well mouth, which corresponds to Kun Gua in the Eight Diagrams and Yinghe Gate of Death among the eight gates. A small white flag was placed due east of the wellhead, Zhen Gua, Yinghe Shangmen, and a small green flag.
At the position due west of the well mouth, Dui Gua corresponds to the Jingmen among the eight gates.
Among the eight gates, the three gates of death, shock, and injury are all the gates of death among the gates of life and death. This is also the Yin and Yang ghost-sealing array that I specially arranged to deal with the possible red and white evil spirits.
I used it when I was dealing with the ghost-shou Qingyi in Yunfei's hometown, Guying Village. However, because my magic power was still relatively weak at that time, the Yin-Yang Ghost-Sealing Formation was a double-edged sword for me, which could only hurt the enemy.
A thousand will cost you eight hundred.
But today is different from the past. In order to save time and mana, I only arranged three of them, and they are all death doors. I am bound to take down the red and white evil with one blow!
After preparing all this, I called Lao Xu to my side and said:
"The next step is up to you."
"Me?" Lao Xu looked at me in surprise.
I smiled,
"Take off your shoes and put on these wedding shoes."
"Ah? What are you doing?"
I whispered a few words in his ear. Lao Xu was shocked and his face immediately turned pale. I further said:
"Lao Yutou has a special status and cannot do this job, and I have to free my hands to deal with the red and white evil spirits, so you can only do it. Of course, I won't force it, but after all, this matter is related to the lives of all the people in your town, so you
You have to think about it."
When Lao Xu heard this, his expression became even more grim. He walked back and forth at the entrance of the well several times, clapped his hands, and gritted his teeth and said:
"Okay! That's it!"
After saying that, he sat down on the ground and took off his shoes. Because I was afraid of getting rid of the mud on the wedding shoes, I had to put them on for him myself. Fortunately, Lao Xu's feet were not too big.
I can make do with wearing the wedding shoes into my feet.
I slowly helped him up, handed a lit incense candle into his hand, and reminded him:
"Be sure to remember to walk slowly, don't get the dirt off your shoes, and don't put out the candle!"
Lao Xu took the incense candle and nodded heavily.
After seeing that his mood was relatively stable, I placed a cauldron of incense burner on the edge of the well and inserted three pillars of soul-inducing incense. Then I took Lao Yu's head and hid behind the wall of the nearby tile-roofed house. I poked my head out a little.
He winked at Lao Xu.
Lao Xu nodded, took a deep breath, held the incense candle in his hand and began to walk slowly clockwise around the mouth of the well...
After walking three times, he slowly spoke and said in a deep voice:
"When the gong sounds, the night becomes unclear, and it is difficult to walk on the road to the underworld. People attract souls, ghosts build bridges, and injustices remain unsolved by the Forgotten River!"
