Volume 1 Chapter 027: Inducing Burial Qi
I was so angry when I heard this. Damn, where did the Gu family find these two living treasures? It's amazing! But when I heard the dead face say that it was "evil spirits", I was also a little worried. After all, I have personally seen many cases of evil spirits, but never like this.
The dead-faced man probably heard the conversation between the man in the melon-shaped hat and the Taoist priest with the ox nose, and said coldly, "Who said that the only evil that can be caused is possession by a ghost?"
The man in the melon-shaped hat immediately sneered: "You are all experts here, so why don't you show off your tricks? Everyone knows that there are three causes of evil spirits!"
Seeing that the dead man didn't respond, Guapi couldn't help but feel proud and continued, "One is that a human soul possesses the body, which is what we usually call a ghost. The second is that a spirit borrows the body, the most common ones are like yellow-skinned people and foxy people who borrow the body to practice. The third is that mountains and rivers take over the body, which is very powerful, it draws the veins of mountains and rivers into the body, which is beyond human power!"
"The three types of evil spirits have their own distinct characteristics, and none of them match Miss Gu's symptoms."
It's true that although this man with a melon-shaped hat looks wretched, he does have some real skills, and his words are very coherent. Of these three types of evil spirits, I have only heard of the first two, and this mountain and river vein seizing body is the first time I have heard of it.
The man with the Ox Nose nodded slightly and clapped his hands, saying, "Brother Wang, what you said is right." The Taoist priest with the Ox Nose has always been very arrogant, and the fact that he could now praise him showed that what the Taoist priest with the melon-shaped hat said must be right.
I wasn't too worried. I hate Dead Face very much, mostly because of the Lin family girl, and secondly because I suffered a great loss at his hands, so I have an inexplicable trust in this man's ability. I don't think that a melon-shaped hat like this can cover up Dead Face.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Dead Face didn't even comment, and just said, "Stupid!"
As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly felt relieved. The man in the melon-shaped hat and the man with the bull nose changed their expressions drastically, and the people from the Gu family were stunned.
The man in the melon-shaped hat
"Fool, you only know how to stick to the rules!" The dead face said expressionlessly: "Who said that only ghosts and monsters can cause evil? There are thousands of magic spells in the world, can't it be human-made to cause evil? The little girl is clearly still alive, but her body is covered with corpse spots and the stench of corpses fills the house. What is this?"
When the man in the melon-shaped hat heard the word "idiot" again, he was about to get furious. But after hearing the next sentence, he glanced at the man with the big nose and showed hesitation.
"It's the appearance of a living person dying!" Someone suddenly said, his voice hoarse and dry, a bit like the sound of a broken gong being struck. I looked and was a little surprised. It was actually the old farmer in hemp clothes who spoke.
When these words came out, the man with the melon-shaped hat and the one with the ox nose were both shocked. The man with the melon-shaped hat murmured, "The dead look of a living person... The dead look of a living person... It seems that there is a little bit..."
The bull nose glanced at the old farmer in hemp clothes and was confused and said, "Mr. Qi, when did you find out?"
The old farmer in hemp clothes shook his head and said, "I'm ashamed. It was only after Mr. Zhong reminded me that I suddenly realized it. I had been thinking that it was ghosts and monsters that were causing trouble, but I was really thinking in the wrong direction. Now I think that Miss Gu must have been planted with a corpse evil spirit."
"What did you say?" Everyone in the Gu family exclaimed in unison.
"Mr. Qi, are you saying that someone deliberately harmed my Zi'er?" Father Gu's voice was low, but it was obvious that he was suppressing a great deal of anger.
The old farmer in hemp clothes turned out to be called Qi Lao. He looked ashamed and said apologetically, "Boss, it's all because I'm useless. I didn't see it earlier."
The second uncle of the Gu family had been silent the whole time, but now he spoke up: "My Zi'er has been at home the whole time. What happened? Did someone sneak into our Gu family and commit crimes?" I heard him mention Zi'er, probably the little girl lying on the bed.
This second uncle looked elegant and gentle, and at first glance he looked like a teacher, but when he said this, his eyes flashed with a kind of pressure. Compared with him, the old woman of the Liu family was nothing. I was secretly wondering what kind of people this Gu family was.
Old Qi sighed and said, "It should be difficult for anyone to sneak into our Gu family. If what I guessed is correct, someone must have used a magic that can make people get killed without leaving their homes." As he spoke, he arched his hands towards the dead face, "I don't know if what I guessed is right, please give me some advice, Mr. Zhong."
The dead face looked at him and said nothing.
The bull nose sneered and said, "How can there be a magic spell that can make people be possessed by evil spirits without leaving the house? Are you kidding me ?"
The man in the melon-shaped hat was pale, with sweat on his forehead. He said in a trembling voice, "It seems... Could it be... Could it be the burial-guiding technique?"
Niubizi was puzzled: "What is that?"
The man in the melon-shaped hat wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said, "When my master was alive, he told me that there is a very powerful formation that can draw the burial qi of the dead on the grave to a place hundreds of miles away and kill the person." He shook his head again, as if he was a little unsure, "But... according to my master, this formation was lost many years ago, and it is extremely powerful. Once hit by the burial qi it draws, even an elephant will die on the spot. But Miss Gu..."
Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone present could easily understand what he meant. What he meant was that the burial energy drawn by this burial induction technique was extremely powerful, and the little girl from the Gu family should have died on the spot.
Old Qi said, "Mr. Qian is right. This is also what the old man is confused about. I wonder..." He still looked at the dead face.
Dead Face pointed to a corner of the tent and said, "Because of it."
Looking in the direction of his finger, I saw an iron cage with a dying civet cat inside.
"It blocked most of the burial qi, so the little girl can live until now." The dead face sneered: "It's a pity that ordinary people don't know what's good for them."
Gu Sihan yelled and rushed over to ask someone to open the iron cage. I followed and saw that the big black cat was already breathing weakly, and its body was covered with dried blood. Hearing the noise, it half opened its eyes, stretched out its tongue to lick my hand, but it couldn't hold on any longer and closed its eyes again.
I asked Gu Sihan to get some rice soup quickly. When I turned around, I saw that Gu's father, Old Qi, the man with the melon-shaped hat and the man with the cow nose had already left the tent. The dead face brought Gu Sihan's aunt and one of the doctors who was over 60 years old to the bedside of the little girl from the Gu family.
Because of the curtain, we couldn't see what was going on inside. Gu Sihan brought the rice soup over and fed it to the big cat with a spoon. I washed its wound with clean water and bandaged it. But the ear was broken. It had been too long and could not be restored.
Gu Sihan kept muttering: " If my sister knew about this, she would cry to death."
I consoled him, saying, "It's okay. You're safe. It's just a broken ear. It's not a big deal!" The cat seemed to understand what I was saying. It cried out and bit my finger. I patted the cat's head and said, "Don't make trouble. I'll stew you."
The big cat purred and lay on the ground, its body close to the ground, its two paws covering its ears, looking like it was surrendering. Even Gu Sihan, who was originally worried about his sister's safety, was amused by it and laughed out loud.
I poked the big cat on the forehead and scolded him with a smile: "What an idiot!"
At this moment, footsteps were heard, and the dead face had led two people out. Gu Sihan's beautiful aunt looked pale, as if she was about to collapse at any time. The other old doctor was not much better, he was in a daze, as if he had lost his soul.
When Gu Sihan and I saw them, we immediately rushed over to ask what was going on. Gu's father and others who were waiting outside the tent heard the noise and immediately rushed in, staring at the three people anxiously.
"The corpse evil has been eliminated." The dead man said expressionlessly. The beautiful aunt and the old doctor also nodded vigorously, but they were speechless for a while. I don't know what kind of horrible thing they experienced.
Father Gu and the others didn't care about anything else, and immediately opened the curtain and rushed in to see their daughter. Gu Sihan pulled me in and hurried in. The big cat meowed and limped in behind me.
The girl looked better. Her dark lips had turned pale, and the black spots on her body had faded. She looked a little more energetic. The doctor came forward to check her pulse and said that her pulse was much stronger than before and her breathing was much heavier.
After checking, Elder Qi and the others were delighted and said that the corpse gas in Miss Gu's body had been eliminated and her life should be saved. The Gu family was overjoyed to hear this, and even Father Gu, who was so calm, was a little overwhelmed with excitement.
But despite their joy, Qi Lao, Guapi, Niubi and others did not look very happy. Gu's second uncle was a thoughtful person, and he probably saw what was going on, so he asked, "Are there any other questions?"
The man with the melon-shaped hat and the ox-nosed nose looked at each other and remained silent. Old Qi hesitated for a while and sighed, "The young lady's life should be safe, but this corpse has been in her body for too long and has formed corpse miasma in her body. I'm afraid..."
"What are you afraid of?" Father Gu asked in a deep voice, with a fierce look in his eyes.
Mr. Qi hesitated to speak, but finally said: "I'm afraid his whole body will be ulcerated, and he can only rely on drugs to survive for the rest of his life."
As soon as these words came out, the tent fell silent. Gu Sihan stood beside me, shivering all over. I couldn't help but feel sad. For a little girl, if she could only be festering like this, neither human nor ghost, it would definitely be more painful than death.
“I don’t know, Mr. Zhong…” Old Qi cast a hopeful look at the dead face.
"I can't do anything about it." Dead Face flatly refused. The tent fell into a deathly silence. I didn't give up and couldn't help asking, "Um... Mr. Zhong, is there no other way?"
The dead face sneered, and after a moment, he said: "Unless someone knows how to use acupuncture to pry open all the veins of the corpse miasma that have already solidified in the girl's body, there is no way she can be saved even if there is a magic pill or a miraculous medicine."
