Chapter 85: Mugwort Wax Talisman Oil
My original intention of going to Xiadian Village was to eliminate harm for the people. As for whether I could make money, I didn't care at all. Because I am a person without great ambitions , I am content as long as I can have three meals a day and a place to live. It is impossible to say that I have no ideas at all. My biggest wish in this life is to stay by Lin Yuxi's side for the past four years.
When the girl heard that there was still a chance to turn the tables, she immediately became excited and quickly called a taxi. Then she told me that all the money she had earned in the past three years was spent on buying that house. If she could earn 300,000 this time, she would definitely buy a car so that we could go out to slay demons anytime, anywhere!
Ha, slaying demons and monsters? I'm afraid that this kind of thing will only happen a few times in a lifetime, basically the same as the chance of winning the lottery. But what I didn't expect was that I would often "win the lottery" in my later life.
That's a story for later, let's get back to the topic. After the three of us got a taxi, we took the two large bags of items headed for Faxiadian Village. We followed the old rules and went outside the village to get a taxi back. The three of us quietly slipped to the Lu family's ancestral tomb and hid in the cornfield to see what was going on.
A large light bulb was hung in the field of the Lu family's ancestral tomb, illuminating the surrounding area. A few people were standing outside the field with shovels in their hands, talking and laughing. They seemed to be the villagers that Mr. Lu had asked for help. However, Mr. Lu and Bian Hongming were not seen. I wonder if they were in the village or searching for the old man's body.
Lin Yuxi was a little worried that they would find the old house, because we only covered the cave entrance hastily, and as long as they entered the inner room, they would find clues. I am not worried about this. Even if they find the cellar, at most they can carry the old man's body back to the coffin and bury it again. The blue-eyed fox is the protagonist now. If they didn't find us last night, they will definitely get worse tonight and kill people. I am worried about the safety of those people outside the field.
After staying in the cornfield for half an hour, there was still no sign of Mr. Lu and Bian Hongming. Just when they were feeling depressed, they saw someone running hurriedly from the village and shouting, "Grandpa Lu Jingyue has been found. He is in their old house. Everyone, let's go back to the village!" Those people ran back to the village shouting and disappeared in an instant.
I was not surprised that they found the old man. Although we cleaned up the footprints in the house, the traces in the yard could not be cleaned up and would be discovered sooner or later.
Lin Yuxi said depressedly: "If they find the old Zongzi and carry him back and bury him, we will have nothing to do with him."
Xiaopang's brain was working very fast at this moment, and he said to her, "Don't forget there is a vixen. It has been hooking up with Old Zongzi for so many years. Everyone has been unearthed. It is impossible for them to bury Old Zongzi easily."
I touched his forehead and said with a smile: "That makes sense. Let's go and take a look at the village."
"What kind of nonsense... is that? I am a master of strategy and I can win battles thousands of miles away. I am no match for Zhuge Liang and Liu Bowen. I..." The boy boasted as he stood up and followed us out of the cornfield. I quickly covered his mouth. It was so quiet at night and his voice was so loud that the whole village could hear it.
When walking towards the village, I was afraid that if the old zongzi was carried out of the cellar, it would attract the blue-eyed fox, so I gave everyone a small piece of the newly invented "wormwood wax talisman oil"!
Isn't this a trendy name? It is made of wormwood juice, talisman ash, and wax oil. After solidification, it is not only easy to carry, but also can be used by simply applying it on the spiritual orifice to block the eyes of ghosts and seal the spiritual orifice to prevent any evil spirits from invading. Otherwise, if you always stick wormwood on your eyebrows, it will fall off easily, and if you meet someone with this thing on, you will be considered a psychopath .
Lin Yuxi rubbed it on her forehead a few times as I asked and asked, "What is this?"
"Moxa wax talisman oil!"
The girl immediately widened her eyes and said, "I've told you so many times that I don't love you, so don't waste your time on me. And you confessed to me in Xiao Pang like this, isn't that disgusting?"
"This thing is made of mugwort leaves, talisman ash and wax oil, so it is called mugwort wax talisman oil. What are you thinking?"
After listening to my explanation, Lin Yuxi laughed and said, "If you want to say that he is a hooligan, his thoughts are not pure. Even his name is so improper."
I almost got angry. "What's wrong with this name? It's not like moyou. Even if it's similar to an English word, that's just a coincidence. China has 5,000 years of culture, how profound is it? How can English compare? My moxa wax oil is so charming that it will definitely become a masterpiece passed down from generation to generation!"
Lin Yuxi covered her mouth and dared not laugh out loud, but just kept repeating: "Wormwood wax talisman oil, wormwood wax talisman oil..."
I coughed twice and said, "Just confess to me once, there's no need to keep confessing to me."
Xiao Pang interrupted at this time: "I confessed to you, and the rest were said to me."
Lin Yuxi's expression immediately changed: "Get lost, you two little hooligans!"
The three of us were bickering quietly as we moved towards the village. We soon turned an alley and arrived near the old house of the Lu family. But we saw that the old house of the Lu family was brightly lit and crowded with people. It seemed that all the villagers had come here to watch the excitement. No wonder we didn't see anyone when we entered the village. Since everyone's attention was on the old house and we were in the dark, they couldn't see who we were and didn't pay attention. We sneaked closer and hid behind the corner of a house to peek out.
This place is very close to the crowd, and their voices can be heard clearly. I heard an old lady say: "Master Bian is really capable. He found the remains of Xiaoyue's grandfather in less than a day."
"Who is Master Bian? He is the nephew of Aunt Lan in our village. He often came to Xiadian Village to play when he was a child. Have you forgotten that he often called you Aunt Zhao?" said an old man next to him.
"Oh, you said he was Xiao Mingzi. I haven't seen him for many years. He's old now. Hey, how did Xiao Yue's grandfather end up in the old house?"
"I heard it was a corpse pretending to exist. Someone just went in and saw it with their own eyes. The old guy hasn't decayed in forty years. He stares at everyone he sees. It's creepy!" said the old man seriously.
“It hasn’t decayed in forty years? How scary… Hey, it’s coming out, it’s coming out…”
Suddenly there was a commotion outside the old house, and the crowd retreated in all directions, but after a long time, no one came out of the old house. I heard people talking about Master Bian saying that the feng shui of the ancestral tomb was problematic and it could not be used anymore, so the old man's body should be placed in the old house first, and a grave site would be selected tomorrow to bury him.
I thought that the Feng Shui was indeed a bit problematic, but if the mountain was opened with a cave and a talisman to solve the problem, then it would be the best possible auspicious cave. This shows that this Master Bian really has no ability. Just as I was thinking about it, suddenly there was a cry of surprise from the crowd, and everyone retreated and dispersed.
"The old man has stood up!"
"Oh my God, isn't this a lie?"
"Don't be afraid, Master Bian is here, nothing will happen!"
"Look at the yellow water dripping down your body..."
We heard something wrong, how come the old zongzi is alive again? Lin Yuxi asked me puzzledly: "Didn't the old zongzi die last night after being stabbed in the back with a mason's awl? How can he be alive again?"
I rubbed my forehead and said, "You can't kill the Yin Corpse with just a mason's awl. You have to perform rituals to dispel its resentment. And the mummy in the wooden box is not completely dead. It has a chance to be resurrected if something happens."
"Under what circumstances will lead to resurrection?" asked Xiaopang.
"It's like a blue-eyed fox!"
