Chapter three hundred and forty third animal making
The art of making animals was mentioned in Pu Songling's "Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio".
This kind of witchcraft was rare in Jiangbei even during the Qing Dynasty, but there were often similar rumors south of the Yellow River.
In modern times, because people with magical power disdain to practice this technique, and because people without magical power cannot practice this technique at all, this evil technique has not reappeared in the world for many years.
"Secret Records of the Zhamen" records several small techniques that can be performed without the need for magic power, such as shooting flowers, but I have heard from time to time that some people are confused by this technique.
"The art of making animals? Boy, you do have some eyesight!"
"Come on, I'm right here. You want to know how to make animals. Can you try it out?"
"It's not that I'm looking down on you. Even my dead ghost master back then didn't master this secret technique."
"Even if you find my book "Secret Records of Zhamen" and learn how to practice the art of making animals from it, if you want to truly master it and use it on me, you are just dreaming!"
Looking confident and confident, Brother Biao said with a strange look.
There will always be boats capsizing in the ditch, and if you walk too much at night, you will definitely encounter ghosts. He is engaged in this industry that is the most hated by people. When he entered the industry, he had already realized that he would die if it happened.
In this life, he drank the strongest wine, and he also slept with beautiful young women...
So what if I die? It’s worth it.
Since he has put life and death aside, what else does he have to worry about!
"Haha..." He chuckled a few times without any deep meaning. Chen Hai did not respond to Brother Biao's words, but straightened his clothes and stood up.
"Why are you talking to my boss? You're not afraid of death, are you? OK, I want you to live but not to die!"
Bai Xiaohang, who was on the side, walked up to Brother Biao in a few steps while cursing, picked up the steel pipe in his hand, smashed it on his head, and smashed it down.
Of course, because he wanted to stay alive, the place where the steel pipe fell in his hand was basically where Brother Biao's hands and feet were.
"If I fall into your hands, I will accept my defeat."
"My head is off, which is a scar as big as the mouth of a bowl. What can you do to me? It's nothing more than death!"
"Here, hit me on the head! The steel pipe falls on my hands and feet. It doesn't hurt or itch. I'm not happy!"
Facing the steel pipe that Bai Xiaohang smashed down, Brother Biao rolled on the ground at first to try to avoid it.
When he got to the back, he was no longer dodging, letting Bai Xiaohang's steel pipe fall on his hands and feet.
Not only did he not snort, but the harder Bai Xiaohang hit him, the louder he laughed.
Xiang Dong and Bai Baoshan, who went to the side room, finally walked out again.
Of course, they certainly didn't forget to close the side door and lock it.
"At this moment, among you, who has the ability to help me get a few dogs?" Chen Hai asked expressionlessly after scanning the room for his subordinates.
"Leave it to me, boss. I have experience in this kind of thing. Do you want to live or die?" Bai Baoshan immediately stood up.
He was imprisoned and what he committed was stealing.
Although he has not done this kind of thing for many years, at least the experience and foundation are still there!
"Try to find stray dogs as much as possible. I just want the skin. It doesn't matter whether they are dead or alive."
"Uncle Baoshan, I'll leave the matter to you. You should go back as soon as possible!" Chen Hai nodded and ordered.
"It's a bit difficult to catch a few live dogs. It doesn't matter whether they're dead or alive. As long as the dogs' skins are there, it's easy!"
After a few strange laughs, Bai Baoshan nodded, turned around and walked outside.
As for Xiangdong, he was very conscious. He went outside the dilapidated bungalow and started to guard the surrounding area.
Although this place is relatively remote, few people usually come here!
But don’t be afraid of ten thousand in anything, just be afraid of the eventuality.
The screams of Brother Biao's men never stopped.
There is such a loud movement. If someone happens to be passing by here and hears these sounds, there will inevitably be some trouble!
He ran eastward and stood guard outside just in case.
"This boss, judging from the behavior of you guys, you must be a gangster, right?"
"It's nothing more than seeking money when you come out to hang out!"
"That guy named Huang Yong is just a relative of yours, not your brother. How much is this kind of relationship worth?"
"Even if you kill us all, it's impossible for the boy named Huang to grow his legs and tongue again."
"For such a loser, the two of us are fighting to the death, so why bother?"
"The bankbooks I placed in the side room have all fallen into your hands. You must have seen how many deposits are in them!"
"This is not hundreds or thousands, but hundreds of thousands!"
"If you are willing to let us go and let this matter go, I can give you the account password."
"After the money is taken out and in your hands, you take your Yangguan Road, and I will cross my single-plank bridge. From now on, we will go our separate ways, and we will not owe each other anything."
"What do you think of my proposal?"
Both Bai Xiaohang and Tian Mingjian had stopped holding the steel pipe and beating Brother Biao and his group to death.
Lying on the ground, resting for a while, Brother Biao, who had already recovered his breath, rolled his eyes, and he tentatively opened his mouth and mentioned this suggestion to Chen Hai.
It's a pity that Chen Hai, who moved a chair and sat near the gate smoking a cigarette, didn't even look at him, let alone what kind of response he would make to him!
"It seems that you are really unwilling to leave any way for us to survive?"
"When I think about the money I have earned through hard work for most of my life, but in the end I can only give it to the bank, I feel so unwilling!"
Brother Biao shook his head and sighed.
He seemed to be sighing repeatedly, but in fact, he had been paying attention to Chen Hai from the corner of his eyes, checking his expression.
Before he could wait for Chen Hai to react, the sound of footsteps approaching from far outside the house reached his ears first.
"Boss, people here don't seem to like keeping dogs."
"I drove the van around the area a few times and got two dogs to come over!"
Bai Baoshan, who was carrying a dead dog on one shoulder, came in cursing.
When he saw Chen Hai, he grinned, threw the two dead dogs in front of Chen Hai, and said.
"Thank you for your hard work, Uncle Baoshan!"
"Two dogs are just two dogs. We can make do with it, and we can barely use it for a while!" Chen Hai, who had been smoking a cigarette, had already stood up at this moment.
After nodding towards Bai Baoshan, he squatted down in front of the two dead dogs.
Then, while muttering something in his mouth, he stretched out his finger and touched one of the dead dogs here and there!
In just the past three or five minutes, he stretched out his big hand, clasped it on the dog's head, and lifted it up.
A complete piece of dog skin had been completely peeled off from the dead dog and appeared in Chen Hai's hands.
"This is really the art of making animals..." Brother Biao, whose eyes were always on Chen Hai and hadn't left his side for even a moment, was chattering with his teeth.
He had already put life and death aside, but at this moment, his face became distorted due to extreme fear.
His exposed skin was covered with goose bumps, and his whole body was shaking violently out of control.
"Brother Biao, two dog skins, one for you and one for Liuzi!"
"I know that you don't regard yourselves as human beings, so I wasted a lot of time in order to satisfy your wishes and make your long-cherished wish come true!"
"I'm just trying to make ends meet. I just learned the art of making animals, and I'm still a bit slick at it."
"Let's do the experiment with the six boys first. Don't be impatient or get too excited. I will definitely not forget your share!"
At this moment, Chen Hai actually looked a bit strange.
After saying a few words to Brother Biao, he walked a few steps to Liu Zi who was lying on the ground, still wailing.
Among this group of people, Brother Biao is the only one who is an authentic descendant of the Zha clan.
Several other people, although they were also extremely conscientious, were just following Brother Biao to earn a living.
When Brother Biao saw off the young man's arm, it was Liu Zi who trampled the young man under his feet.
When Chen Hai and others broke in, they happened to see this scene.
Since there are only two dog skins, one is reserved for Brother Biao, and the other one must be used on these six sons.
Liuzi knew nothing about the art of making animals.
But even so, when Bai Xiaohang and Bai Baoshan held him down and took off his clothes, he still looked panicked and began to beg, hoping that Chen Hai and others would let him go.
"One drink, one peck, one cause, one effect. Have you ever been soft-hearted when others begged you for your life?"
"A good person wants to be a beast instead of being a good person. Isn't what I'm doing now exactly what you want?"
With an expressionless face, Chen Hai snorted softly.
After saying this, he began to mutter something, and first put the dog's head on Liu Zi's head bit by bit.
Then, he picked up the dagger handed over by Bai Baoshan and slashed Liu Zi's naked body, carving out a strange pattern.
The pattern carved on the skin and flesh was scratched, and blood continued to seep out.
At this time, Chen Hai took advantage of the situation and attached the dog skin that had been cut open on the chest and abdomen to Liu Zi's body.
The blood seeping out of the pattern, in a situation that cannot be explained by chemistry and physics, perfectly bonded the dog skin to Liu Zi's body.
After absorbing Liu Zi's blood, the entire dog skin extended to all parts of Liu Zi's body like a living creature.
Liuzi's body began to shrink rapidly in an incomprehensible way.
One minute, two minutes...
Time passed little by little. At the beginning, Liuzi sometimes whined and begged. Later, the sound coming out of his mouth had turned into a barking sound.
When about ten minutes passed, Liuzi's entire person had completely disappeared.
Instead, there was an old, yellow-haired, lame dog.
