Chapter 72: Heaven and Earth Bureau
Chen Duo sat on the ground imitating the others and felt her face burning.
"Close your eyes, calm down, take a deep breath, and don't think about those messy things." Xu Lai said.
Who wants to mess up things! Chen Duo almost went berserk again. She pinched herself a few times, closed her eyes, and calmed down.
"Listen carefully and see if you can hear anything?" Xu Lai's voice.
Chen Duo concentrated, at this time the room was completely silent, without a single sound. She was born with the ability to see yin and yang, and her senses were many times more sensitive than those of ordinary people, so she could always hear many strange noises in the dead of night.
Therefore, she was very familiar with this kind of thing. After a moment, she really heard some sounds. At first, they were very faint and unclear, and sounded like the sound of wind passing by.
But slowly, the sound became clearer, as if it was a gasp squeezed out from between teeth, and then the sound became louder and louder, twisting and turning.
Chen Duo's cheeks were burning and her heartbeat was speeding up. At this moment, Xu Lai's voice came to her ears again: "What did you hear?"
"It's just... panting..." Chen Duo was too embarrassed to say it. After thinking for a while, she added, "Men and women."
"Please listen carefully and tell where it is coming from, the left or the right." Xu said.
Chen Duo calmed down and listened carefully, and felt that the sound was getting louder and more rapid, as if it was going to pierce her eardrums.
Chen Duo couldn't bear it anymore and was about to open her eyes when she suddenly felt a bright light in front of her eyes. She saw countless pairs of men and women tumbling in front of her, one wave after another surging towards her.
She was about to close her eyes in a hurry, but at this moment she suddenly remembered that her eyes were closed, so how could she see all these?
As he was thinking, the scene in front of him became clearer and clearer, and closer and closer, as if it was right at hand. Chen Duo felt his whole body burning hot, his head dizzy, his breathing becoming more and more rapid, and his heart beating heavier and heavier, almost jumping out of his chest.
At this moment, I felt something flicking my eyebrows lightly, and then I felt a bang in my head. All those voices were left behind, and I woke up with a refreshed spirit.
When she opened her eyes, she saw Xu Lai squatting opposite her, looking at her.
"well enough?"
"It's okay, what can happen!" Chen Duo quickly got up from the ground and touched his face. He felt a severe fever and his heart was still beating wildly.
He calmed himself down, pointed to the left and said, "This way."
"You've worked hard, take a break." Xu said, walking to the flat piece of wood on the left.
Chen Duo stood there for a while, covering her face with her hands. When the fever on her face subsided a little, she went over to see what Xu Lai was doing.
He saw that the piece of yellow cloth covering the wood had been lifted up, folded into a square and placed on the ground. Xu Lai placed his right hand on the piece of wood and stroked it along the trunk.
She was looking at him in wonder when she heard him say, "Landlord, go stand in the northeast corner."
Chen Duo was stunned for a moment and asked, "Where is the northeast corner?" After she went down underground, she was already a little dizzy.
Xu Lai pointed her in a direction. Chen Duo didn't bother to ask any questions and stood in a corner with her cell phone in her hand.
"Stand against that drum." He then said.
"Okay." Chen Duo stood as he said.
I took a picture with my phone, but it was not very clear because it was far away. I vaguely saw Xu Lai lift his hand that was pressed on the wood, and heard a "hiss" sound. There seemed to be something between his palms, long and thin, and I couldn't see it clearly.
Then he did the same thing, running his palm along the piece of wood forward to a place, then upwards, and each time he pulled something out.
This happened nine times, and then he waved over here.
Chen Duo turned around and saw that he was holding something in his left hand.
"What is this, a nail?" Chen Duo took a picture with his cell phone.
Xu Lai handed the thing to her and asked her to take it first.
Chen Duo took a closer look and found that there were indeed nine nails, and they were wooden nails. The nail bodies and nail tails were of the same thickness, and only the tips were sharpened.
In addition, there are several runes and some animal heads engraved on the nail. The overall color is blue-black, but there is a hint of red.
Chen Duo took another photo with her cell phone and saw that there were a few more tiny holes on the piece of wood, making it exactly nine in total.
"What's going on?" It was obvious that the nine nails came from this piece of wood, but the nail body and the nail tail were of the same thickness. After being nailed in and knocked flat, it was not easy to see from the outside.
"This is called Nine-Star Positioning." Xu said, pinching the fingers of his left hand, as if calculating something.
Chen Duo did not disturb him for the time being. When she saw him stop, she asked what the Nine Star Positioning was.
"It's a way of sealing a coffin." Xu said.
Chen Duo was stunned for a long time before she said in surprise: "Is this a coffin?" She had always thought it was made of a large piece of wood.
"It's not a coffin or not, but the person lying inside it is real." Xu said, pushing the edge of the wood. Suddenly, a click was heard, and the seemingly natural wood broke into two pieces.
This really has a lid! This was Chen Duo's first thought.
Then the second thought was that she was nervous and panicked. Just as she was in a daze, she saw that the wooden lid had been pushed open by Xu Lai. She mustered up the courage to move closer and looked under the light of her mobile phone. She saw something white underneath, as if there was really something lying there.
Seeing that Xu Lai had no other instructions, he bravely moved closer to take a closer look.
I saw that the piece of wood was indeed hollowed out, and a woman in a white dress was lying inside.
Chen Duo shuddered, but managed not to scream out, muttering to herself, "Don't be surprised, don't be surprised."
At least she was born with the ability to see ghosts and spirits, so she has some resistance to these weird things. Otherwise, if it were an ordinary girl, she would really scream.
The woman had a pretty face, fair skin, and bright red lips. She had her eyes , as if she was soundly sleeping.
But reason told her that this person was probably not a normal living person, because how could anyone be trapped in such a place and still survive?
She was just getting nervous when she heard the guy say, "Not bad, you're pretty calm."
"Stop talking nonsense and come and see what's going on!" Chen Duo was annoyed, but when she looked up, she saw that although the guy was saying sarcastic words, his expression was extremely focused.
So she also calmed down and stayed quietly aside. She saw him staring at the woman for a long time, then took out a set of thin gloves and put them on. However, he did not put his hand in directly, but made a strange gesture above the woman.
Although Chen Duo didn't understand, she knew that he was at a critical moment, so she didn't ask and kept silent to avoid affecting him.
In a short while, Xu Lai's fingers were interlaced and changed into several forms. She was so absorbed in watching that she squinted her eyes slightly. Suddenly, she seemed to see something, as if a layer of light gray gas was steaming up from below, and then it twisted a few times and dissipated.
If she hadn't been staring closely, she wouldn't have noticed.
This went on for a while, and she no longer saw any gray gas coming out. Xu Lai withdrew his hands and slowly walked around the woman, observing her from head to toe.
Chen Duo couldn't help but think, this guy always says that the first rule of a wizard is to be calm and cautious, and it turns out he wasn't just talking nonsense.
After observing everything and finding nothing unusual, Xu Lai reached in and pointed a finger between the woman's eyebrows.
"Is this the time to start the autopsy?" Chen Duo thought to herself. She had heard Xu Lai mention autopsy several times before, but all she knew about was limited to the forensic doctors she had seen in novels and on TV. She was very curious about how the master would perform the autopsy.
"Turn around first." But Xu said.
"What's the matter?" Chen Duo asked in a low voice, puzzled.
"It's not very convenient to see." Xu said.
If it were any other time, according to Chen Duo's personality, she would have definitely retorted, as there was nothing inconvenient about it. However, at this moment and here, seeing his focused look, Chen Duo just said "oh" obediently and turned her back.
After waiting for about ten minutes, I heard him say "Okay", then I turned around and saw that the woman in the wood was dressed neatly, even her hair was tidy, and she looked exactly the same as before.
