Chapter 16 Pretending to be a ghost


After a while, Sun Yixiang and Huang Donglai quietly slipped out of Zeng's mansion by the moonlight.Back then, as soon as it got dark, there was basically no one on the streets, and things like street lamps didn't exist, so they didn't worry about anyone finding out.Mingjiao Temple is very close to Zeng's house, just two streets apart, it can be said that it is enough to reach it with your feet, Sun Huang and the two of them only took five minutes to come to the back wall of the temple, and they successfully reconciled with Zhou Wu.Because they had already planned in advance, they didn't have to talk too much after the three of them met, and after a few whispered exchanges, they climbed over the wall and entered the temple.The body of the second lady of the Zeng family had been embalmed yesterday, and the coffin of the shroud had been completed, and the coffin was now parked in an idle empty room in the temple.The Buddha hall is not allowed to place corpses, and the dead corpse, a shady thing, must not enter the Mahavira Hall if it has not been cremated; This is the rule, Sensei said that Master Zeng, even the emperor can't mess around.Therefore, after the body of the second lady of the Zeng family was transported, it was always placed in a room without Buddha statues for the monks to chant the scriptures around.Monks, who are also human beings, also need to rest.At night, they rested, leaving only a young novice of fifteen or sixteen years old, who watched the coffin and kept a symbolic vigil.Sun Huang came to the door of the mortuary room (the mortuary room cannot be closed), looked in a little, and found that the little monk was sitting cross-legged with his back to the door, his head down, and he was already dozing.Seeing this, the three of them just exchanged glances and didn't say anything, and Huang Donglai took the lead in walking in; I saw that he silently approached the other party with light skills, took a piece of cloth dipped in potion from his arms, and covered the other party's mouth and nose, and the little monk lay down at that time, unconscious.Sun Yihe and Zhou Wu followed closely behind, and they also stepped into the door."

Brother Huang, your medicine is good."

As soon as Sun Yixiang came in, he teased in a low voice, "Picking flowers, right?"

”"I'll pick your sister!"

Huang Donglai also said, "This is my Huangmen, a serious inhalation fast-acting sleeping pill, a secret recipe!"

Do you understand the secret recipe?

”"That's okay, you can get me a ten-pack or eight-pack another day, and I don't sleep well."

Sun Yi said humorously."

Get out."

Huang Donglai said, "If you don't sleep well and call me, Lao Tzu knocked you out with a stick." ”Huang Donglai still knew Brother Sun, and in order to prevent his brother from going astray, he firmly rejected Sun Yihuan.The two of them said these few words, and Zhou Wu on the side had already quickly opened the coffin lid (before the burial, the coffin lid would not be nailed).After all, Zhou Wu is also the head catcher of this Luzhou City, even if he is not a top master, his strength is not comparable to ordinary people; Even Sun Yihuan can use brute force to remove the lid of the sarcophagus at home, and Zhou Wu can open an ordinary wooden coffin."

It's still there."

After Zhou Wu opened the coffin, he glanced inside, and then said this.When Sun and Huang heard this, they no longer joked with each other, but both came to the coffin and looked inside.That's right, it's indeed "still" - the glass fish is still firmly held by the second lady of the Zeng family with both hands and covered in her chest."

Hmph......

Really. ”After observing for a while, Huang Donglai said with a smile, "This second lady was also poisoned to death. ”He paused and said, "This of her is called 'Bundle Immortal Rope'; when this poison occurs, the heart and lungs of the person will be like being tied by ropes, and it will be difficult to beat and breathe, resulting in suffocation and sudden death in a short period of time; and another characteristic of this poison is that the phenomenon of the deceased's 'corpse stiffness' will come very quickly and severely, as if the whole body has been 'tied'......

Therefore, as long as the glass fish is placed in her hands shortly after her death, there will be the illusion of "the dead man holding on to things" at the moment. ”"Brother Huang Xian."

Zhou Wu then continued, "In this case, can we still ......?"

"Of course we can." ”Huang Donglai knew what he was going to ask, so he answered directly, "Just break it." ”"Huh?"

Zhou Wu couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, "It's that simple?"

”"Nonsense, no matter how stiff it is, it's just flesh and bones, and it's not made of iron."

Huang Donglai said, "Why can't you break it?"

”As he spoke, he had already reached into the coffin, and with a little force, he broke the second lady's hand.Seeing that Huang Donglai took out the glazed fish so easily, Zhou Wu also smiled bitterly, and then he realized: In fact, in the past three days, if there is a bold person who is not afraid of blaspheming the dead, he dares to break it directly like Huang Donglai, and the fish will be taken out.It is precisely because they are all afraid of ghosts and gods and believe in ghosts and gods that they take it for granted that this is the deceased's resentment, and they need to find a monk to chant the scriptures before she can let go of her hand.Of course......

They really have to be patient to wait like this, and when the time for the zombie is over, the hand will indeed be released."

Alright, done, let's go."

Huang Donglai took out the glazed fish, put it in his arms, and walked out.Zhou Wu and Sun Yihuan did not delay, the two quickly walked to both ends of the coffin, one song and one tail, and carried out the body of the second lady and followed them..................

At three o'clock, the housekeeper Zeng Su lay on the bed and tossed and turned, with nightmares repeatedly.As the saying goes, being a thief is weak-hearted.Although Zeng Su is already a habitual offender with several lives on his hands, and his own psychological quality is not bad, he ...... after all He is not a professional killer, nor is he a man in the rivers and lakes, he is just a housekeeper of a large family.In just half a month, it is impossible for a person to change so completely.If this incident subsides, in another year and a half, Zeng Su may survive......

At that time, he will get used to this mentality of carrying human life on his back, but now he is obviously not good.So, in his dream, everything went back to the beginning......

That day, the second lady of the Zeng family suddenly called him into the room, cried with him, and asked him when he would be able to take him away.Zeng Su was speechless.The second lady of the Zeng family is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old today, and the old man Zeng is sixty; The so-called pear blossom pressed begonia, this big family, the old husband and the young wife, it is reasonable that this kind of thing will happen.In fact, Zeng Su is not young, he is forty-three this year, but compared to Master Zeng, he is even in the prime of life.The adulterous affair between him and the second lady was well concealed, except for the parties concerned, only the second lady's personal maid knew about it in the whole house; At first, the maid was also coerced and lured by them to help them cover up, but then after a long time, the maid became a grasshopper on a rope, after all, at that time, the wood was already in the boat, once the matter was revealed, the adulterer went to soak the pig cage, and she, the maid, must be killed by the owner.Originally, as long as they kept a low profile, they could continue to live like this, and when Master Zeng died in a few years, they might be bolder.But the second lady was still young and still did not accept her fate......

People have pursuits, and they don't want to be so sneaky, she wants to roll up a batch of Zeng's finesse and let Zeng Su run away with her.Zeng Su didn't have that guts, but he didn't have that brain—not so stupid brains.What do you think?

Zeng's family, is that an ordinary family?

You ran away with the second lady of the master?

Can you run?

Unless you can run out of the Great Mountains, you will definitely be caught.In the face of the second lady's crying and coercion again and again, Zeng Su knew that it was difficult to get good about this matter, so he decided to ......

Run on your own.He had already planned, so he left a letter to Master Zeng, saying that he was sorry for Zeng's mansion, he was greedy, and stole a hundred taels of silver from the cabinet, because he had no face to see the master, so he could only write this letter and run away.Zeng Su calculated very accurately, this amount of money, no more, no less, not so much that Master Zeng would be difficult to let go, and not so little that it made his escape seem false.When the time comes, he will take the silver and fly away, and it will not be a problem to live in the future, and the second lady can only break her thoughts, if the woman really wants to make trouble again, she will only find her own death, and it will have nothing to do with him.Originally, he was ready to implement this plan, but unexpectedly......

The day before he was about to run away, he met a man.It was a woman.A woman with a "faceless".Every time she appeared in front of Zeng Su, she would change her face.Sometimes she is a graceful young woman, sometimes she is a hunched old woman, and sometimes she becomes a beautiful big girl.That day, this woman took the initiative to find Zeng Su; She knows martial arts and is very good at talking.She knew all about Zeng Su, including Zeng Su's adultery with the second lady, and Zeng Su's plan to escape alone.She told Zeng Su that she had a way to make Zeng Su continue to stay in Zeng's mansion as a housekeeper, and she could make the second lady "shut up forever".Zeng Su didn't agree at first, but he soon found out that the other party was not giving him a "choice", but threatening him......

And between the defendant who was immersed in the pig cage and killed the second lady and continued to be the housekeeper of the Zeng Mansion, Zeng Su did not struggle for too long.According to the woman's instructions, at the appropriate time, he put the "glass fish" in the place where He Da and He Er often walked, and deliberately let them find and pick it up.He cooperated with the woman to pretend to be a ghost and scared Zhao Daqiang.He used the medicine powder given by the woman to trick He Er out at night, knock him unconscious, and then take the glazed fish from him, and then pushed He Er into the pond.He poured the woman's poison into the water that Zhao Daqiang drank, causing Zhao Daqiang to die.Then, the woman disguised He Er's voice again, put the glazed fish in He Da's room, and pretended to be a ghost again to scare He Da; And Zeng Su followed closely and brought his family to save the scene.He Da was too scared, and told what he had seen and heard, and Zeng Su used this as a basis to tell Master Zeng, connecting all the things before and after, and taking the matter of "the glass fish is an evil thing, attracting ghosts", and pushed this responsibility onto the He brothers.After that, He Da left Zeng's mansion, and Zeng Su led people to bury the glazed fish in the barren mountains and mountains according to the instructions of Master Zeng.But that night, he quietly turned back and dug it up again.After all this was done, finally, it was time to make a move on the second lady; Anyway, as long as the dead body has a glass fish in its hands, the death of the second lady will be attributed to the same nature as the previous "haunted events".After killing the second lady, Zeng Su told Zhou Zhutou all the "ghost stories" in front of all the officials, so that the matter could spread to the streets and alleys.On the other hand, after He Da left Zeng's mansion, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that things were strange; He wasn't interested in the truth, but he was afraid that the evil thing would find him again, so he went to the pawnshop again to ask the pawnshop keeper what was going on with the glass fish.But he didn't know that the shopkeeper was also bought by that woman, and he was playing tricks.As a result, He Da's behavior brought death to himself; Zeng Su received the woman's instructions, ran to the inn to find He Da, and quietly poisoned his tea in the process of talking to him, and successfully extinguished his mouth.At this point, Zeng Su already has four lives in his hands.He was indeed not caught, and he kept his position as the steward of the Zeng Mansion; He is not afraid of any "jade-faced flying dragon Sun Honglei" and "Xudong Old Immortal Huang Xiaose", only when they are swaggering warlocks.But Zeng Su was afraid of ghosts, he was afraid that there were really ghosts in this world, and he was afraid that those who were killed by him would come to him to ask for their lives; He was also afraid of the "faceless" woman, because he still didn't know what the other party was teaching him all this for behind the scenes.Hiss-hiss-sssHe hesitated for a moment in the darkness to make sure that the sound was not a hallucination, and then quickly got up and lit the oil lamp on the table in the dark."

AhhThe moment the room lit up, Zeng Su screamed in fright.Because he saw that there was a glass fish on his table.Hiss-sssZeng Sumu turned his head and looked at the window according to the sound, but he could only see ......

A familiar, woman's shadow was standing there, as if looking at herself through the window.He recognized that it was the shadow of the second lady......

In fact, even if Sun and Huang don't move the body of the second lady over today, and find a random woman to stand there, in this kind of environment, Zeng Su will automatically make up her brain as the second lady."

Nan no Amitabha Buddha Nan no Amitabha ......"

In extreme fear, Zeng Su retreated to the corner farthest from the door and window, closed his eyes, folded his hands, and began to recite a Buddhist scripture that he only knew, praying that the ghost would be dispersed.He thinks too much......

After a few seconds, all I heard was a "squeak".The door of his room was pushed open a crack.The housekeeper is also a subordinate, and the door of the subordinate is not allowed to be locked, and it can be opened with a push from the outside......

In fact, Sun Yihui had already opened it once when he quietly came in to release the glazed fish just now, but Zeng Su hadn't woken up at that time, so he didn't know."

There is no Amitabha Buddha in the south!

Nan Wu Amitabha Buddha ......

"With this change of opening the door, Zeng Su's frequency of chanting sutras became faster and faster, and more and more urgent, but his eyes did not close again, because he was afraid that if he closed his eyes, he would not be able to see any terrifying danger approaching."

Unexpectedly, after the door opened a crack, the door suddenly became quiet, and the woman's shadow disappeared, as if everything just now was just an illusion......

If the glass fish on the table was not there, maybe Zeng Su would really start to think about whether it was just wind.Just when Zeng Su's heart was a little relaxed, suddenly!

The second lady's head poked in from the gap in the doorway, and a pair of dead eyes stared at Zeng Su like this.
