Liu Laoguai asked someone to put the goddess's body into a coffin, and then moved it to the main room of the third aunt's house. It was placed next to the third aunt's bed. I picked up the coffin and took a look at the goddess's body. It was still the same.
He looked ferocious, with his eyes wide open and his mouth wide open.
Although it was early autumn, the weather was not that cold after all, and the body had been soaked in water, so it had already begun to emit some putrid smell. I took out some medicinal herbs from my backpack and sprinkled it on the body like salt, temporarily covering up the putrid smell.
But it can only last for a few hours at most.
"Xiao Yu, this is the rooster you want. It never crows."
Liu Laoguai walked in with a big rooster in his hand. I took a closer look and saw that the rooster was very strong. The most important thing was that it was also very quiet. Even though Liu Laoguai held its two paws, it didn't seem to resist much.
I nodded with satisfaction, this was exactly what I wanted.
For safety reasons, I sent Liu Laoguai and the others away. Only me, the demented third aunt, and the goddess's corpse were left in the whole house.
I looked at the time and saw that it was already past ten o'clock in the evening. It was Haishi now, and it was not yet the time when the Yin Qi was at its peak. There was still time, so I took out a cinnabar pen and drew a few lines on the big rooster's mouth, and painted it
His mouth was all painted red.
Then I carefully put the rooster into the goddess's coffin. I observed it for a while and found that the rooster was not interested in her body. At most, it stepped on the body a few times, and then lay quietly on the goddess's head.
beside.
On the other side, I took out a piece of white cloth from my backpack and put it on the third aunt's face, pressing it with a copper coin to ensure that the white cloth would not fall when she breathed, and of course to prevent evil spirits from getting close.
After preparing all this, I looked at the time again, and it happened to be midnight, so I turned off all the lights in the room. For a while, the whole room fell into a dead silence, with only some moonlight coming in from the window.
Half of the room was dark and half was dimly lit...
Returning to the coffin, I scratched my fingertips and wrote a small edict between the goddess's eyebrows, and at the same time recited:
"Yin and Yang Xuanming, green dragons and white tigers, various living beings, Suzaku Xuanwu, invisible gods and ghosts, they all belong to me! Take them!"
After reciting the Soul-Chasing Curse, the blood on my fingertips was quickly absorbed by the goddess's two eyes, and her eyes suddenly turned blood red, making me shudder involuntarily.
The big rooster on the side seemed to feel something, and its eyes that were originally closed suddenly opened. It raised its head and neck and looked around, and then slowly lay down again.
I hurriedly got up and hid in the back room. There was a gray curtain separating the back room and the main room so that we couldn't see each other. I quietly opened the door curtain a little with my hand and waited quietly...
I don’t know how long it took, but there was a sudden “creak” sound coming from the yard outside the house, and the door to the yard was opened by someone unknown...
After a few seconds of silence, there was another sound of "sand...sand..." walking. It sounded very slow, but you could also tell that the other person was walking towards the house.
My heart skipped a beat, I didn't expect it to come so fast! I quickly held my breath and stared at the door.
At this moment, there was another "creak" sound, and the door of the third aunt's house was slowly pushed open, and a figure slowly walked in. I subconsciously shrank my neck back and opened the door curtain.
I also put it down a little, for fear of being seen by that person.
Because it was too dark in the room, I could only tell by the moonlight that it was a dark figure, and I couldn't see his face clearly at all. I moved my eyes down to look at his feet, and I saw that he was wearing a pair of trousers on his feet.
Red cloth shoes at the door of the yard.
My heart beat a few times involuntarily, and I looked intently again. I saw a figure slowly walking to the bedside, bending over and leaning forward to press his face against the third aunt's body, as if smelling something.
It was nothing at first, but when he got close to the white cloth on the third aunt's face, his head suddenly retracted, as if he had been frightened!
I know that because he found the copper coins pressed on the white cloth...
After straightening up, the figure finally noticed the coffin next to him. Almost at the same time, he seemed to find something that attracted him. He suddenly took a few steps forward, turned over and jumped into the coffin!
"ah!!!"
"Gu...gu...gu"
A shrill frightened sound and the strange cry of a rooster suddenly came from the coffin.
I heard clearly that the frightened voice was the voice of an old woman!
The human figure suddenly flipped out of the coffin and fell to the ground, and then fled towards the door of the house in embarrassment, but the big rooster followed out with flapping wings, and its beak firmly caught the human figure, allowing her to escape.
Not even after coming down.
"No...don't!!!"
The figure screamed desperately!
Seeing that the time was almost up, I rushed out, grabbed the rooster by the neck, and threw it directly into the yard. The figure lay on the ground shivering, not daring to move.
I looked at her and said coldly:
"It's really you...the goddess!"
"You...how did you know it was me..." After a long silence, the goddess asked without raising her head. Her voice was trembling, obviously she had not recovered from the shock just now.
In order to prevent her from escaping, I pulled out a red thread and tied it to the middle finger of her left hand, and then explained:
"It's very simple, just wear red cloth shoes on your feet. The custom in Liujia Village is not to put shoes at the entrance of the courtyard. Third Aunt is quite old, so she will never violate these strict rules, and Lao Yu
The only possibility is that you, a goddess who grew up in the next village, put on your cloth shoes just so that you can know the way when you come back!"
The Goddess shivered and got up from the ground. She faced me with a pale face, her eyes full of resentment.
"Cock Soul Eater, you smeared cinnabar on that chicken's mouth, making me unable to break free. Such a damaging move can only be used by Mrs. Liu's disciples!"
I was too lazy to argue with her, but grabbed the red thread and dragged her to me, and asked in a deep voice:
"That night, what happened after you, Third Aunt, and Lao Yutou came back? After you died, where did Lao Yutou go? Where is the human soul that Third Aunt'er lost?"
The goddess looked at me sinisterly, with a disdainful smile hanging on the corner of her mouth.
"I advise you to run away for your life, you can't control the affairs of Liujiacun!"
