Chapter 69: Corpse Fluid
Mr. Lu was stunned by the words that the child's illness was caused by the ancestral tomb. He then shook his head and said that he had invited many people, but no one had ever mentioned the ancestral tomb. Most of them said that it was because the foundation of the building might not be clean. Although the house was arranged with a strict Feng Shui layout, it still could not withstand the slow erosion and penetration of the ghost's Yin Qi, which was caused by years of accumulation.
Seeing that he didn't believe me, I smiled and said, "Since they found out the problem, who cured the child?"
Mr. Lu was speechless. If the child could be cured, why did he ask us to come over?
Lin Yuxi looked at me and kept rolling her eyes. She asked in a probing tone, "Are you sure about the ancestral grave?"
I nodded and asked Mr. Lu if he would mind borrowing a plate. Mr. Lu nodded and said no problem, and his attitude was much better than before. So I opened the cupboard, took out a plate, scraped it with my fingers more than ten times, and smeared it all on the plate, forming a bean-sized water droplet.
Then he went back to the living room, put the fat man on the coffee table, picked up a lighter, lit it, and touched the water droplets on the plate. It actually caught fire!
Not only Mr. Lu was stunned, but even Lin Yuxi and Xiaopang widened their eyes. How could water burn? Unless it was water mixed with chemicals.
The hostess, Mrs. Liu, looked up and saw this strange scene. Her face suddenly changed color. She pointed at the flames and said, "I have dreamed that water can burn, and the water came from a person..."
I turned to her and asked, "Do you know this person?"
Mrs. Liu shuddered all over and said, "I know him, he is the child's grandfather!" The so-called grandfather is a local common name, that is, great-grandfather, or great-great-grandfather, that is Mr. Lu's grandfather.
When Mr. Lu heard this, his face turned pale and he asked his wife, "Why didn't you ever tell me this?" As he spoke, the flames on the plate gave off a pungent fishy smell, and he quickly covered his nose with his hands.
Mrs. Liu said distressedly, "Because of the child's matter, I was absent-minded and forgot about it a long time ago. If I hadn't seen that water can burn today, I wouldn't have remembered it."
As they talked, the stench became stronger and stronger. Except for me, they all covered their noses. A bean-sized drop of water had been burning for such a long time, but it had not yet burned out. As it burned, a layer of yellow-orange liquid oozed out around it, which looked a bit disgusting .
I told them: "The water actually seeped from the ancestral tomb. Once something happens to the ancestral tomb, it will bring disaster to the descendants, and corpse fluid will seep out of the house!"
"Master?" The fat boy blinked. Even Lin Yuxi didn't understand what these two words meant.
I said angrily, "What a joke. Corpse fluid is the fluid that oozes out of a corpse. The reason is that the body of the deceased does not decay after death and is tortured day and night, so corpse fluid containing resentment emerges to remind future generations and help resolve the disaster as soon as possible."
Mr. Lu finally couldn't help it, and said angrily: "What a bunch of... My grandfather has been dead for more than 40 years, how is it possible that his body has not decayed?" He meant to call it "what a bunch of nonsense", but perhaps considering that I was a guest, he gave me some face and swallowed the nonsense.
Lin Yuxi frowned and said to me: "You have to make things clear before you talk. Don't think that the dead are like the old Zongzi in Longjia Village."
I didn't get angry, and said seriously: "This situation will occur whenever the deceased is buried in a corpse-raising ground or a place with strong yin and evil spirits. I believe you have all heard of the many stories circulating among the people about corpses that have not decayed for hundreds of years. These are not groundless, and many of them are true. If Mr. Lu doesn't believe it, then please seek help from someone else." After saying that, I wiped my hands and made a gesture to say goodbye.
Since Mr. Lu can become a high-ranking official, he must have his own strengths. The guy looked at the smelly flames, nodded and said, "It's not that I don't believe it, but it's all a bit mysterious. Let's do this, you see how to stop the child from crying tonight, and then we can go to see the ancestral grave."
"The method is very simple. Go outside and find a place that is often exposed to the sun. Take some soil and fill a porcelain bowl with it. Then put it on the leaking part of the kitchen counter. The child will definitely sleep through the night tonight. However, this is only a temporary solution. If you don't treat the ancestral grave, I'm afraid that the whole family will have problems in the long run." As I said this, I took out a talisman from my bag, lit it on the flame, and threw it on the plate. It immediately swallowed up the bean-sized flame and extinguished it together. The oozing yellow corpse fluid disappeared, and the fishy smell was no longer smelled.
Seeing me show off my skills again, Mr. Lu was finally convinced. He nodded and said that as long as the children could sleep well tonight, he would pick us up and go to the countryside to visit our ancestral graves tomorrow.
It's almost ten o'clock when we come out of here. Lin Yuxi chased me and asked, "Is what I said true? Are you using the same tricks as fortune-telling to cheat people?" I said angrily, "Cheating people is what Xiaopang does. I have always been real. If I always have the fluke mentality of cheating people, how can I deal with evil spirits?"
Lin Yuxi thought about it and realized that it was true, so she stopped doubting it. But Xiaopang refused to accept it. He was just fooling people. Aren't you always helping to be a babysitter? I quickly coughed twice and asked him if he wanted to eat hot pot. This kid was so smart that he immediately shut up and didn't mention anything.
Of course, we went back to the studio to eat hotpot. There was a hotpot restaurant on the second floor. Xiaopang and I had never eaten there before. While eating in the hotpot restaurant , I mentioned Chen Dahong again. Lin Yuxi wanted to keep it a secret, saying that she was not in a good mood now and would talk about it later. I hummed and told her that I was not in a good mood tomorrow and would not go anywhere.
"It's not tomorrow yet, how do you know you'll be in a bad mood tomorrow?" Lin Yuxi puffed up her cheeks in anger.
"Because if you don't tell me about Chen Dahong, I will be in a bad mood for the rest of my life, and of course I will be in a bad mood tomorrow." I said, picking up a glass of wine and drinking it.
Lin Yuxi immediately gave up and told me that she had contacted many friends about this yesterday because she was going to reopen her studio. During the dinner, someone mentioned that a very famous Feng Shui master had appeared in the countryside recently. He happened to meet this person by chance . He heard from this person that his name was Chen Dahong and he had lived in Longjia Village for many years.
She was shocked at the time, wondering if this Chen Dahong was the murderer who killed the old blind man and Aunt Ting. But she did not reveal anything yesterday, but asked this friend to arrange a time to meet with Chen Dahong, and in the future, if the studio has problems that cannot be solved in terms of Feng Shui, ask him to come and help.
I said, is there any need to think about this? Chen Dahong has lived in Longjia Village for many years. Who else could it be but this person? I was not in the mood to eat. I asked her to contact the friend from yesterday and ask where Chen Dahong lived. I went to raid his house tonight.
Xiao Pang still didn't know our story. He didn't ask any more questions when he saw that we were talking in a mysterious way. He just ate the mutton hotpot with his cheeks wide open. When he heard that I was going to search the house, he was so scared that he spat out a piece of meat in his mouth and said, "We can't search the house. At most, we can just stab one or two people to death."
Lin Yuxi was almost mad, and glared at both of us fiercely: "This is a public place, don't rob the house and stab the couple to death, okay? We definitely can't go tonight. First, we don't have a car, and second, we are not sure whether the other party is the person we are looking for. Let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm the manager, you have to listen to me in everything, otherwise I will punish you two and make neither of you sleep tonight!"
"Why aren't you sleeping? Are you playing Landlord?" Xiaopang interrupted.
"Fight you big head ghost!"
