Chapter 0035 A Transaction
The Wentian Sect that He Gu belongs to must be rich and powerful, otherwise He Gu would not have directly helped me to pay the 200,000 yuan.
So the cars we called for the crematorium actually came two at once.
Several staff members, carrying all the prepared items, carried the coffin directly onto the car.
"I'll guard one, and you and Snake Lord will guard another, to prevent any accidents on the road." He Gu looked at the black snake jade bracelet on my wrist and said in a deep voice, "I've asked them to arrange the lychee trees over there."
I looked at Chen Quan and his son: "What should we do with these two?"
Those who were watching outside saw what they did just now, so it was unlikely that there was anyone guarding them.
Mo Xiu remained silent the whole time. I thought about it, took out my cell phone and called Qin Mipo, and simply asked her to bring Niu Er to pick me up.
Qin Mipo agreed readily and told me not to worry, since He Gu had been subdued, nothing should be wrong and she could handle it.
Hearing her agreement, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and got directly into a crematorium car.
There has been a call for cremation in recent years. Our town has a crematorium, it’s not big, but it has all the necessary facilities.
Otherwise, Mo Xiu cannot leave the town, which is a problem.
Nothing happened with the two coffins on the way. After arriving at the crematorium, He Gu simply asked the staff to help push the coffins in.
When it was time to burn, there were only him, me, and a worker who looked honest.
He Gu seemed to know him, and the worker didn't say anything, as if he knew something.
He simply spread some dry firewood on the ground, then lifted the coffin with one hand and pushed it inside.
The cremation room was filled with heat, and Mo Xiu didn't like the atmosphere, so he didn't come out.
Before the burning, the worker poured oil on the fire. In the raging fire, it seemed that all the flames turned into fire snakes, hissing and roaring.
I could hear that roar in my head again, and it made my head start to hurt.
Perhaps the two iron nails of He Gu worked, and apart from the fire snake spitting, there were no other accidents this time.
When I was driving back with the two urns in my arms, I was still a little dazed.
I am not very familiar with Chen Quan's family. My parents usually address him as Chen Quan, Chen Quan's father, Chen Quan's mother, Chen Quan's wife...
Until now, I still don’t know the names of the owners of these two urns.
But because of me, they became two boxes of ashes.
"Everyone has his own destiny, and cause and effect have their own destiny. They may have died because of you, or it may be destined by fate, or maybe they owed you in their previous life." He Gu actually comforted me, which was rare.
I gave him a bitter smile: "Have you figured out how to deal with Long Xia?"
He Gu's face darkened, he shook his head, looking bitter, and changed the subject: "Have you met Mr. Hu?"
This Mr. Hu really only lives in the mouths of others.
I shook my head. “I only know that on the day I was born, he ran away to save his life, but he seemed to have said something to Taoist Zhang in our town.”
He Gu continued, "Even if he ran away, he would be dead soon. He had an obsession in his heart and had been looking for something all these years. Just before your eighteenth birthday, he found Lao Zhou and asked him to calculate your life."
"Mr. Hu has been doing feng shui for Huilong Village for decades . He knows that the blessing is very strange, but he can't see through it, so he is even more reluctant to point it out."
"He has always wanted to know what a snake coffin is, but it wasn't until eighteen years ago, when you were born." He Gu looked at me.
He said in a deep voice: "That night, Mr. Hu was going to find another place to bury you and offer sacrifices to the snake coffin, but he..."
He Gu seemed to take a breath, and then said: "Forget it, you will know when you meet him when you have the chance."
He Gu didn't say anything else, but just looked at me with gloomy eyes: "You are very mysterious about the snake coffin."
"The snake coffin wants me to be put into the coffin, but it doesn't allow anyone to hurt me." I reached out and touched the black snake jade bracelet on my wrist.
Looking at He Gu: "So I have a way to lure out the snake coffin, it depends on whether you have a way to deal with the snake coffin."
At the same time, Mo Xiu came out, looked at me and said, "You want to use yourself as bait?"
"Is Snake King willing to help?" I looked at Mo Xiu, clenching my left hand. "As long as Snake King and Taoist He work together, even if they can't deal with the snake coffin, they can at least lure out Long Xia first, find a way to control her, lure out the silk snake in my grandmother's body, and save those people in Huilong Village."
Mo Xiu's voice was cold: "Those people in Huilong Village deserved it. I have saved them once, but it was useless. I will not save them again."
I rubbed my fingertips on my palms and looked at He Gu with a solemn look: "Didn't Taoist He come here to study the snake coffin? How can we study it if we don't see the snake coffin?"
Mo Xiu chuckled, as if he was angry and laughed, and then he turned into a black snake jade bracelet and wrapped it around my wrist.
He Gu glanced at me and said, "I respect the Snake King in everything."
My clenched left hand loosened and I had to give up.
The sun had already set when the crematorium's car took us directly to Qin Mipo's home.
Niu Er was sitting in front of the eaves, burning a fire. Outside the eaves was a bamboo bed, on which Chen Quan and his son were lying.
Under the cool bed, there was a pot of fire burning some rice husks mixed with mugwort leaves. Thick smoke rose from the gaps between the bamboos, just like smoked bacon.
He Gu looked at it and said "Huh", then lowered his head to look at the brazier.
"Long Ling, you're back!" After Niu Er tidied himself up, he felt much better.
Looking at me, he chuckled and said, "These two people have snakes in their bodies. Aunt Qin said Xunxun will come out."
I didn't expect this to work, and I'm a little curious, but it seems to be a solution.
But if this can smoke out the snake in Chen Quan's body, then can the silk snake in my grandmother's body also be smoked out this way?
Voluntary separation from the body is much better than being forcibly pulled out.
I hurried into the house. Granny Qin was still sifting rice. When she saw me come in, she just said in a deep voice, "I don't know if it will work for now. Let's try it with Chen Quan first."
"Thank you!" I thanked Qin Mipo and went to cook.
Niu Er can't stand being hungry, but he didn't complain of hunger today. He probably roasted something over the fire to eat.
After I finish cooking, it will be just Qin Mipo and I who will eat at the table.
He Gu was still sitting, while Niu Er was sitting outside with a bowl in his hand.
I just took a few bites and went into the house to check on my grandma.
She was unconscious, and the silk snakes behind her had stopped moving, as if they had gone crazy because of the acupuncture given by He Gu last night .
I got some hot water and wiped her body.
I then came out and added things to the brazier under the cot.
Qin Mipo’s own recipe is rice husk and mugwort, two spoons of sulfur powder, and one spoon of realgar powder.
The smoke from the burning was not very thick, and the snake that stuck out from above Chen Quan's head seemed to be still limp and looked as if it was dead.
Once these snakes have entered the body, you cannot pull them out for fear of pulling something else. You can only let them come out on their own.
But not long after the fumigation, the itchy feeling from the snake poison came back.
The poison will take effect at night. Mo Xiu seemed to sense something and appeared beside me. He said in a deep voice, "The marriage alliance of the Snake Clan will take seven days to complete. You still have to go to that place with me tonight."
I added some food to the brazier, looked at my grandmother again, and said a few words to Grandma Qin.
Finally, after thinking about it , I decided to disturb He Gu who was meditating and left him my phone number: "If you have anything, call me."
He Gu looked at me with heavy eyes and just nodded.
Mo Xiu still took me to that cave. This place was obviously very remote, so the fallen trees were not moved.
Although I felt restless inside this time, I wasn't as groggy as I was last night.
After entering, I discovered that those moving white lights were actually some insects.
Unlike fireflies whose tails glow, these insects have a little white light on their antennae on top of their heads.
However, the insects are very small, and only when they gather together can they form small balls of white light.
"These are fireflies. They eat some glowing things in the stones, and then their antennae glow. The ones you see are males. They use the glowing antennae to attract female insects for mating." Mo Xiu explained to me patiently.
He chuckled and said, "In fact, at night, many insects will glow. If there is a chance, I will take you to see them."
I just smiled. I'm afraid such opportunities are rare.
When we reached the innermost part of the cave, the water was still icy cold.
I reached out and touched it. Maybe I had a fever in my body last night so I didn't feel anything, but now my fingers were so cold that they hurt.
But I didn’t have time to be pretentious, so I just took off my clothes, lay down on the big rock, and turned to look at Mo Xiu.
But when he turned around, Mo Xiu seemed to have a hurt look on his face: "Long Ling, do you think that this is just a deal between you and me?"
