Ever since they learned that there was a real culprit in the death of the bridegroom and his bride, the Zheng family, feeling guilty, did not dare to look directly at the Zhang family.
Zhang Baoshan, a big man, knelt down and cried loudly on the spot. His first reaction was not to go to Zheng's family to avenge his daughter, but to cry with sadness and helplessness.
Seeing that the angry Zhang family was about to fight with the Zheng family, in order to avoid causing more casualties, the old Taoist priest stood up and said that the real murderer had not yet been found, and the bones of the deceased had not yet been buried. The most important thing now was to bury the body, and then Find out the truth and catch the real culprit, and bring justice to the groom and the bride. Only in this way can the deceased be buried in peace.
He also said that not all the Zheng family are evil people, but there are good people like the bridegroom officer who can help us point out clues to prove the bride's innocence. This just shows that the bridegroom officer and the bride really love each other. The executioners who killed the bride that day can Let's take control first and wait until daybreak to hand it over to the Yamen for judgment.
In the end, they were arrested and tied up, and a dozen people from the Zheng family were controlled and imprisoned in a room. In order to calm down the anger of the Zhang family more quickly, the Zheng family members actively cooperated to find the remaining body of the bride. Baoshan and his two sons ignored the stench and jumped into the manure tank to retrieve the body.
Seeing the tragic fate of Zhang Baoshan's daughter, the Zhang family was so angry that they almost started fighting with the Zheng family again.
The old Taoist priest recited the Supreme Taiyi Du'e Tianzun, came to Zhang Baoshan and said: "My little brother happens to know some corpse burial techniques. Donor Zhang, you go back and take a bath and bring your daughter's skin back. My little brother will bury Miss Zhang’s body completely, and then choose a good time to bury it properly.”
In fact, what the old Taoist said was only half correct. Jin An not only had to bury the bride's body today, but also had to re-bury the groom's body, which was poorly made with paper, and bury them both decently...
In "Collection of Corpses", there is an introduction to death by being skinned and executed, as well as detailed explanations on how to bury a corpse, remove evil spirits, and re-sew human skin.
According to "Record of Corpse Collecting", the skinned person will be particularly painful before death. If there is unresolved hatred or a great injustice, and there is a lingering resentment, it is often the easiest to breed strange things and the most difficult to resolve. resentment.
The Zheng family also knew that the bride would die miserably and would most likely turn into a haunting ghost, so they buried the bride's body under the pit so that the bride would not have a chance to stand up after her death.
Jin An noticed a detail. The idea of burying the bride's body in a manure pit was also proposed by Mr. Zheng Liu.
He temporarily put aside his distracting thoughts and concentrated on burying the bodies of the groom and the bride.
It is not difficult to make up for the missing body of the groom. He can be regarded as a familiar person once and twice. The most difficult thing is the bride.
If it was just a simple exorcism, just a yellow talisman to quell the evil, but today he was not exorcising the evil, but helping the deceased to exorcise the evil, bury the body, lay it to rest, and re-enter reincarnation. This matter is more complicated than exorcism. There is a saying among the people that "it is better to make enemies than to dissolve them." Why do you put yourself in the perspective of the victim and ask the victim to let go of his hatred? It is precisely because it is too complicated, so he needs to spend more energy and concentrate on doing this. thing.
Jin An once again deeply understood the meaning of the sentence "To save the dead and to keep vigil for the living" in "Record of Collecting Corpses".
Zheng's mourning hall, Jin'an altar practice, in front of him were three bed boards placed on benches, each bed board covered with white cloth, one of the bed boards placed the groom's body, and the other two bed boards placed
It is the skin and body of the bride.
He asked for the birth dates of the groom and the bride, and made two soul-calling flags on the spot.
He ordered the Zheng family to go to the river and pick two willow branches. It must be a big willow tree by the river. Willow branches can either kill ghosts or attract ghosts, depending on where the willow tree grows. Willow trees growing by the river
If the yin energy is strong, it is best suited to be used as a soul-calling flag.
However, the Zhang family could not trust the Zheng family, so in the end it was Zhang Baoshan's two sons who went to the river to collect willow branches.
Jin An made two little puppets with his own hands, stuffed the notes with birthdays and eight characters into the two little puppets, and finally tied them to willow branches, and tied a bell on each of the little puppets. This is the soul-calling bell.
, is used together with the soul-calling banner.
After making the soul-calling flags, Jin An inserted the willow branches at the entrance of the mourning hall and began to concentrate on burying the corpse.
The summer night was sultry and windless, and the copper bell tied to the little stuffed doll remained silent. It was a dead thing, as if it had no role in summoning spirits.
After burying the groom's body, Jin An raised his head and glanced at the copper bell hanging at the door of the mourning hall, then lowered his head to bury the bride's body.
The bride died after being skinned. It was a bit troublesome to bury the body. She needed one person to do it. Jin An called an old Taoist priest to help. He was responsible for touching the bones and tightening the skin. The old Taoist priest was responsible for acupuncture and acupuncture, fixing the skin shell, and finally it was perfect without sutures.
The body was successfully interred, the skin was smooth, and the body was restored to its original appearance as much as possible.
Even the frightened, angry, and resentful expressions on the bride's face were transformed into a peaceful and sleeping expression by the adjustment of several acupuncture points on her face.
After all this work, the old Taoist priest was so tired that his back robe was wet with hot sweat. The old Taoist priest glanced at the soul-calling flag at the entrance of the mourning hall, and whispered to Jin'an: "Little brother, the soul-calling bell still hasn't rung. The bride doesn't seem to be happy."
Are you willing to come back and resurrect? Could it be that the bride’s soul is trapped somewhere and can’t come back?”
"Little brother, does your book "Corpse Collection" describe in detail what to do if this kind of situation occurs?"
"Since the soul-calling flags and soul-calling bells can't summon the bride, try using some soul-drawing lanterns. Southern Suzaku, old Taoist priest, you lead the Zheng family to extinguish all the lights, only in the well of the house, Gui, Liu, Xing, Zhang, Yi
, light a lantern in each of the seven places, and I will set up the southern Zhuque Qisu Soul Calling Formation! If someone really deliberately traps the soul of the bride to prevent her from reincarnation, I want to see if he can withstand the fire and burn himself!
I'm going to set him on fire!"
The old Taoist priest gave a thumbs up: "You are still taller, little brother."
After saying that, he had already started working with the Zheng family.
During this period, Jin An was not idle. He asked for pen and ink and red paper, and then gave the two red papers with writing on them to the Zheng family, asking them to stick them on the door and open the door wide.
The Zheng family members took a look at the red paper and immediately changed their expressions. This was a confession of guilt. The Zheng family members admitted that they had wronged the bride and killed her. It has been found that the real culprit was someone else. The Zheng family members were accused by the groom and the bride.
Moved by his true feelings, he wants to find out again that the matchmaker is marrying Miss Zhang into the Zheng family, and sincerely welcomes Miss Zhang back to the Zheng family. The real culprit will be caught tonight and she will be given justice.
The other piece of paper is a joint letter, which needs to be signed by the Zheng family.
This is called telling the world, making it public, and actively inviting ghosts and gods to live in the Zheng family.
Seeing the hesitation of the Zheng family, Jin An looked sternly: "Tonight is your only chance to save yourself. This is not only a chance for you to atone, but also a chance for the deceased to save themselves. You have also witnessed what happened to the groom tonight. If
If the grievances of the groom's family are not quelled, the Zheng family will never have peace in the future. Even if he is buried forcefully, it will bring harm to future generations for generations to come."
Perhaps remembering the scene of finding the groom's body under the bed, the Zheng family turned pale with fright, so they had no choice but to sign a joint letter to clear Ms. Zhang's innocence and sincerely invite Ms. Zhang to stay at the Zheng family home.
Just when the Zheng family was queuing up to sign the joint petition, the old Taoist priest had already arranged for the Qisu lantern to come back. When he learned the reason why the Zheng family was queuing up to sign, the old Taoist priest clapped his hands and praised: "Wonderful!"
"The Zheng family has always owed Miss Zhang a title. With this title announced to the world, Miss Zhang is the mistress of this house, and she can come in and out openly. Even the God of Thunder inspects the world and suppresses lonely ghosts.
I can’t take care of the Zheng family’s housework.”
The Zheng family had just pasted two pieces of red paper on the door. Suddenly, two soul-calling bells at the entrance of the mourning hall rang at the same time.
"There is a reaction!" The old Taoist priest just showed his joy. At this moment, an explosion suddenly came from Fenghuang Town in the dark night, and the flames shot into the sky, waking up the sleeping townspeople.
This is the Southern Suzaku Qisu Soul Calling Array at work!
Jin An jumped onto the roof and headed straight to the fire spot with a stern expression!
