I was so surprised that I couldn't help but take a breath of air...
After calming down a little, I quickly took the three copper coins on the third aunt's shoulders and head, tied them with red thread and tied them into a cross. A long thread came out, and then opened her mouth with my hands.
, put the bundled copper coins into her mouth, pressed the tip of her tongue, and left the red thread outside her mouth.
The three copper coins represent the three souls of heaven, earth and man respectively. Holding it in her mouth means that the soul is in the body. The soul and the body are attracted to each other. The red thread binding the soul and leaving a lead will have a strong attraction to the lost human soul...
I saw that although the third aunt had a strange look in her eyes, fortunately she did not have any rejection reaction, so I raised my hand and picked up the incense candle on the ground, and used the flame of the candle wick to ignite the red thread left outside her mouth, and the thread instantly ignited.
A small handful of inconspicuous flames.
I took a look at the length of the red thread. It took less than a minute for the flame to burn from the end of the thread to the third aunt's mouth. I had to find the location of the third aunt's human soul within this minute, otherwise it would be considered a failure.
Of course, if the flame on the head is extinguished first, it also means failure.
Judging from Third Aunt's current state, the distance where the soul was lost shouldn't be too far away, and it's very likely that it's hidden in this room...
I didn't dare to waste time, so I hurriedly took a step back and formed a seal with my hands, and shouted softly:
"rise!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the sluggish third aunt stood up from the ground as if she had heard the order, and the red thread that was originally hanging around her mouth slowly stood up like a snake.
…
The flames at the end of the thread swayed slightly as if to indicate the direction, and the third aunt slowly raised her feet and walked towards a certain direction.
Looking at the third aunt's dark eye sockets and the weird state, it looks like a manipulated corpse, which makes people shudder...
But the strange thing is that the third aunt actually walked stiffly towards Mr. Liu who was standing behind me. Mr. Liu was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly covered his mouth and hid aside in panic. The third aunt did not follow him anymore, but
He opened the door and walked out!
My heart sank. Could it be that her lost soul was not in this room? It would be really difficult if it ran outside!
Sure enough, as soon as the third aunt walked into the yard, the flames on the red thread were suddenly blown by the wind outside and almost blew out. I quickly took out a white cloth from my backpack and put it in front of her face, trying to cover it as much as possible.
wind.
The third aunt slowly walked to the door of the courtyard. Liu Laoguai opened the door with great discernment, but the third aunt did not move. Instead, she lowered her head slightly and seemed to be looking at something. I followed her gaze.
Looking over, I saw a pair of red cloth shoes on one side of the courtyard door.
They are the kind of cloth shoes that only old ladies in rural areas would wear...
I looked at the third aunt suspiciously, wondering why she kept staring at this pair of cloth shoes, but at this time, the flames on the thread had already burned to her mouth, and a minute passed in the blink of an eye, and I could not continue.
I had to open her mouth and take out three copper coins tied with red thread.
The moment the copper coins were taken out, the third aunt's body went limp. I hurriedly stepped forward to support her and helped her into the house. After lying on the bed, I saw that her eyes were still dazed, but she had returned to normal.
black and white eyes.
I came back to the door of the yard, picked up the pair of red cloth shoes and looked at them carefully. I didn't find anything abnormal. The only feeling was that the red cloth shoes were a little cold, as if they had just been taken out of the refrigerator.
"Weird..." Liu Laoguai whispered in my ear.
"What's weird?" I turned around and asked.
"No one has the habit of putting shoes in front of the courtyard door. This is very unlucky in our Liujia Village. What's more, your third aunt wears these cloth shoes every day, so why would you put them at the courtyard door?
"
Hearing what he said, I suddenly remembered that I once heard Aunt Liu say that there is a custom in Liujia Village. Shoes must not be placed at the entrance of the yard, especially the toe of the toe must not face in. This will most likely attract bad people.
Clean things and only unclean things will wear the shoes at the door.
Thinking of this, I looked down and saw that the shoes had been moved by myself, and the position seemed to be different from before.
\"Laoguai, do you still remember whether the white position of this pair of shoes was facing inward or outward?\"
"The toe of the shoe is facing inwards..." he replied without thinking.
"How are you so sure?"
"Because I saw this pair of shoes at a glance when we came here before. I remember clearly that the toe of the shoe was facing inward."
Seeing his determined look, I started to wonder, who put these shoes here? I think it must not be the third aunt, if not hers, then there is only one person left!
Thinking of this, I suddenly had an idea in my mind. Although the previous soul search was only half successful and only allowed me to discover this pair of shoes, the guidance given was enough.
"Laoguai, why have I never seen that goddess before? Is she from Qinglan County?" I asked in a confused manner.
Liu Laoguai was stunned, thought for a while and said:
"Originally, she was from the village next door, but after starting this business, she moved to the county. She is considered half a local."
"That's right..." I nodded thoughtfully.
After putting the red cloth shoes back at the entrance of the courtyard, Liu Laoguai said to me:
"What should we do next?"
I thought about it and said:
"Put the goddess's body in the coffin and move it here..."
"Move here?" Liu Laoguai asked in surprise.
"That's right. When moving, you must be careful not to touch the pair of shoes at the door. Also, help me find a rooster that doesn't crow."
"Didn't you say that I wanted to save your third aunt? Why are you looking for that witch and some rooster again?"
I waved my hand impatiently,
"I'm doing this to save my third aunt, so hurry up and make sure everything is ready before night."
Liu Laoguai finally stopped asking any more questions. After he left, I walked to the door and looked at the non-cloth shoes, and couldn't help but murmured:
"Lao Yutou, Lao Yutou, you must not get into trouble, you must wait for me!"
