Chapter 73 Storm Rising
"Are you ready?" Chen Duo was surprised.
"Yes, he has been dead for five years." Xu said.
"Is this true?" Chen Duo was shocked. Judging from the woman's current appearance, even if someone said she was asleep, it would be understandable. How could such a beautiful woman have been dead for five years?
Xu Lai pointed to the top of his head and said, "Do you remember I said that a little girl's energy was sucked into the ground?"
Chen Duo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized: "Are you saying that the reason this woman is so well preserved is because she absorbed the essence?"
"Yes, there are many ways to keep a person from decaying after death, such as using thousand-year-old Yin wood as a coffin, or burying him in a Yin pool." Xu said, "But if you want to preserve it so perfectly, it is better to use a large amount of essence to nurture it. This is called nourishing the soul in magic."
"What's the use? Can it still feed people?" Chen Duo was puzzled.
"It is said that it can really feed people." Xu said.
"Is it really possible?" Chen Duo was surprised. She just said that casually.
Then Xu Lai laughed and said, "What are you thinking? This is just a legend. Do you really think there is a way to bring a dead person back to life?"
Chen Duo rolled her eyes at him unhappily, then lowered her head to look at the woman, and saw that she had a rosy face and smooth skin, and was in better condition than she, a living person who had just survived the night. She couldn't help but mutter to herself that she always felt that this person was more alive than a living person, and it wouldn't be particularly strange if she really came back to life one day.
"This woman should have been placed here by that pervert, right?" Chen Duo suddenly had an idea.
"Eighty percent likely." Xu said.
Although Xu said it was 80 percent certain, Chen Duo thought it was a done deal. Take the pile of male and female puppets entangled together the same as the art of sex, so who else could it be but that pervert.
"Then I understand. I know why that pervert did so many things!" Chen Duo said confidently.
"Tell me about it?" Xu Lai was curious.
"Think about it, why did that person go to so much trouble to build such a basement under Wenlan? And he also harmed so many people. It must be because of something that was very important to him!" Chen Duo analyzed.
"That's right, and then what?" Xu said.
"Don't you understand what I've said?" Chen Duo pointed at the woman in the wood with disdain, "It's for her. This woman must be the one that the pervert loves the most. The pervert did all this just to bring her back to life!"
"Isn't it reasonable?" Chen Duo said proudly.
Then Xu Lai laughed: "Have you watched too many TV dramas?"
"Isn't it?" Chen Duo wondered.
"Of course not." Xu Lai shook his head, "Take a closer look."
Chen Duo was confused by him. She moved closer and took out her cell phone to take a picture. She only smelled a faint scent coming from the hollow wood. She didn't know whether it came from the wood or from the woman.
After looking more carefully for a while, I found a dark shadow on the right side of the woman. I took a closer look with my phone and saw that it was a square hole.
"Why is there a hole?" She screamed in surprise, but did not hear Xu Lai's answer. She looked up and saw that the guy was no longer behind her, but had gone over there and was staring at the upright piece of wood.
"That hole is connected to this side." After a while, I heard the guy say.
The two large pieces of wood, one horizontal and one vertical, were placed close together. The hole appeared right where the two pieces of wood were leaning against each other, so naturally it connected the two sides.
Chen Duo took a picture of it with her mobile phone. It looked pitch black and she couldn't tell what was inside.
"No need to look, it's empty." Xu said.
Chen Duo was a little confused: "What is this empty space used for?"
Xu said, "You can think of these two things as coffins, but the materials used are quite special. This horizontal and vertical one is professionally called a heaven and earth coffin, or heaven and earth evil. Generally speaking, this kind of burial method is for two people."
"Double? Then is this position reserved by the pervert for himself?" Chen Duo suddenly thought of this.
Xu Lai did not answer, but turned back and stared at the woman.
Seeing that he was watching intently, Chen Duo also followed him to watch, wondering if there was some mystery here?
After a long while, he said, "Let's go." Then he moved the wooden lid over and covered it. He took the nine nails from her hand, held them between his palms, and clapped them nine times. The nine wooden nails were sealed back, and no trace could be seen from the outside. After checking again to see that nothing was missing , Xu Lai took Chen Duo out.
"What happened?" Chen Duo felt something was wrong.
"That woman should be Pei Xueqing's mother." Xu Lai said.
Chen Duo was stunned for a long moment before she exclaimed, "How could that be?" She had heard Xu Lai mention before that Pei Xueqing's mother had died of illness a few years ago.
He took a few quick steps in the darkness, and suddenly a strange fear arose in his heart: "That pervert... could it be Pei Ji?"
If this woman is really Pei Xueqing's mother, then first it was Pei Xueyi, then Pei Xueqing, and then their mother. These three people all have a close relationship with Pei Ji.
Thinking more deeply, Pei Ji might have built Wenlan Middle School at all costs because his wife had passed away, and then set up this Shaman Temple in the basement of Wenlan Middle School. He also did not hesitate to use the art of sex to kill people and the art of nurturing spirits to nourish his wife. His purpose was to bring the person he loved back to life!
With this analysis, everything makes sense.
Chen Duo was immersed in her own reasoning when she heard Xu Lai say, "You're overthinking. I told you not to watch this kind of romantic TV series."
"What do you mean?" Chen Duo was angry.
I just heard him say as he walked: "You said it yourself, Wenlan Middle School was built more than 20 years ago. Pei Xueqing's mother was still fine at that time, right?"
Chen Duo was stunned for a moment. She had actually forgotten about this matter just now!
"What's going on?" Chen Duo was completely confused.
I only heard Xu say: "Who said that you have to spend so much effort for others?"
What? Chen Duo was in doubt when she suddenly heard a ringing sound and was startled.
She hurriedly looked at her cell phone, but found that it was not hers. She looked up and saw Xu Lai took out his cell phone. It was his that rang.
Chen Duo was just breathing a sigh of relief when her heart suddenly skipped a beat and she felt like something was very wrong!
I quickly looked at the phone screen and saw three signal bars!
But she had clearly seen it several times before, and there was no signal at all in this place. Come to think of it, it is basically impossible to receive a signal so deep underground.
But now she clearly saw three bars of signal. What was going on?
She looked at Xu Lai in surprise, only to see that Xu Lai had already answered the call.
"Gao Xiang, is there something wrong?" It was Gao Xiang who called, and he sounded very anxious.
"Oh my god, you finally answered the phone!" Gao Xiang was so anxious on the other end that he was jumping up and down.
"The signal wasn't very good before. Did something happen?" Xu Lai asked.
"That's right! Pei Xueyi ran out and was caught by us. What do you think the ninth section is for? That's why we hurried over to discuss it with you, great master!" Gao Xiang said while wiping his sweat. He and Sun Muyu were in Zijin Garden at that time.
The two of them called Xu Lai for a long time but couldn't get through, so they had to run directly to the community to find Xu Lai, but they didn't see him either. Even the female landlord Chen Duo was not there.
The two people were very anxious.
"When did it happen?" Xu Lai asked.
"I saw this more than an hour ago. Where are you now, Master?" Gao Xiang asked anxiously.
He put the phone to his ear and heard something being said on the other end of the line, but the voice suddenly became fuzzy and unclear.
"Master, what did you just say?" Gao Xiang repeated quickly. At this moment, a sharp scream suddenly came from the phone, which almost broke his eardrum.
Gao Xiang quickly moved the phone away, only to feel his ears still buzzing and his vision getting darker. Fortunately, he had practiced before and had an extraordinary resistance. Otherwise, if someone else had been in his shoes, he would probably have become deaf.
"What's going on?" Sun Muyu asked anxiously.
Gao Xiang held up his phone, but the call was disconnected. When he called again, the call could no longer be connected.
The two struggled for a while but were still at a loss.
