Holy Bone

Chapter 880 The Taboo of Corpse Sewing

Thirty miles away in the western suburbs of Jiangzhou Prefecture, there is a mountain village called Xicai Village. Almost all the villagers living here have the surname Cai.

Compared with the name of Xicai Village, the name of Sewing Corpse Village is more famous in Shili Baxiang.

Because in Xicai Village, there is a corpse maker named Cai Xu. It is said that this name is related to his lack of fire in the five elements. .

It can only be said that fate is impermanent, and Cai Xu, who is short of fire in the five elements, would have thought that he would end up earning a living in the vagina, often dealing with the dead, and gaining a reputation in ten miles and eight villages.Whenever the mutilated corpse repaired by this Cai Xu, no one would not praise the workmanship.

It is also because Cai Xu has a high reputation in ten miles and eight towns, so the villagers call him Master Cai.

The business of morticians deals with the dead more than with the living, and those who can find a mortician to repair their corpses are those who died violently with deep grievances, either their bodies were torn to pieces, or they were cut into eight pieces by the people or the Meridian Gate Beheaded, so the ancestors of the same line set up many rules for future generations, so that future generations can avoid some risks.

For example, one is not to sew one corpse and two lives together;
The second is not to confuse the two;
three……

It's just that no matter how many rules there are, if you walk too much at night, you will inevitably bump into little ghosts. The Yinmen industry, which often deals with dead people, is a high-risk occupation that is most likely to encounter supernatural and strange things.

Cai Xu, a corpse seamstress, recently took over a big order, and it was heard that there was a lot of commotion, even the surrounding villages heard about it.

This matter had to be started half a year ago. That evening when the sun was about to set, Cai Xu was having dinner at home. He had enough to eat and drink enough to sew up the dead body in the evening.

A large family came to the door with a carriage, and wanted to ask Cai Xu to sew the corpse. Before Cai Xu could open his mouth, the other party directly ordered his servants to carry an ice coffin into the yard and put it in the lobby of the house. Even Cai Xu refused the opportunity. nothing.

Able to use the ice coffin, it looks like a big family that is either rich or expensive, not ordinary people can offend, and the people who see it are quite unkind. So he planned to inquire about the situation first, and then decide whether to accept the business.

This rich man also knows how to play hard and soft, politely said that lying in the ice coffin is his nine-year-old granddaughter, who died of drowning and her body was incompletely eaten by fish and shrimp in the river, so I want to ask Cai Xu to sew the corpse .

After finishing speaking, the other party left behind a bag of golden beans and an ice coffin, and took the people away, coming and going in a hurry, without giving Cai Xu a chance to refute.

Cai Xuming knew that there must be something wrong with this, but he thought that the other party was rich and powerful, and he couldn't afford to offend him, and the bag of golden beans left behind by the other party was indeed a generous reward, so he decided to open the ice coffin to see the situation first. Refuse it, saying that I am not good at learning.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he opened the ice coffin, Cai Xu smelled a strong smell of blood.

It's not the rotten smell of rotting corpses, nor the muddy smell of drowned people, but the smell of blood!
Cai Xu's heart skipped a beat, knowing that the job he took this time might not be as simple as the other party said on the surface!
According to the rules set by his ancestors, he burned paper money and joss sticks for the deceased. After paying respects, he began the autopsy. He wanted to personally confirm how the deceased in the coffin died, and why there was such a strong smell of blood?
The female doll in the ice coffin looks delicate and lovely, like blue and white porcelain, but in Cai Xu's eyes, her scalp is numb and her heart is cold.

Death does not rot, and the qi is hard to swallow. This is the lingering yin qi, and there is a possibility of corpse change at any time.Moreover, even the upper and lower eyelids of the girl doll were stitched shut, as if she was afraid that the girl would die if she opened her eyes.

Now that he had accepted the order, even though he knew it was wrong, Cai Xu had no choice but to bite the bullet and do the autopsy. It wasn't long before the autopsy, and Cai Xu was so frightened that his hands shook and he almost sat on the ground.

commit a sin!Too bad!Animals are not as good as ah!Cai Xu cursed with an ugly face.

It turned out that what the female doll hid under her clothes were two bodies stitched together. Starting from the chest, a diagonal line stitched the left and right corpses together.

The taboo of the seamstress is absolutely not to confuse the two together!

I don't know which Yeluzi mortician broke the rules set by the ancestors. After mixing the two together, he saw that he couldn't suppress his resentment, so he came up with a bad idea and threw the corpse to him, letting him take the blame.

At this moment, he saw that the incense stick standing in front of the coffin was only half burnt and then broke, which aggravated his bad feeling even more.

Although Cai Xu loves money like most people, he knows how big his ass is and how big his pants are. Otherwise, he would not have survived in the vulva business for so long. One night, at dawn the next day, Lizheng immediately borrowed an old horse, pulled the ice coffin with a carriage, and rushed to find the rich family.He wanted to return both the ice coffin and the corpse, saying that he couldn't take over the job.

Fortunately, it was still spring at that time, the weather was cold, and people had to wear thick padded jackets to keep warm, and the ice coffin melted slowly. When Cai Xu found the place according to the address left by the other party, the other party did not hide it, and told the truth very simply—— —

It turned out that this rich family had a pair of twin granddaughters, whom they loved very much since they were young. However, an accident happened while swimming in the river. The twin granddaughters fell into the river and drowned. After several days, the bodies were salvaged downstream. The twins died miserably. , Even after drowning, they still hold hands and refuse to let go.

Because the corpse had been sunk for a while, the body was severely damaged by fish and shrimps. After being introduced by someone, I found a mortician, but even this mortician could not separate the hands of the dead.When he learned that the two sisters were inseparable during their lifetime and their friendship was very deep, the mortician made a decision to sew the remaining intact bodies of the two sisters together. There is me in you, and you in me, and let the sisters die. Continue to be together to resolve grievances.

Doing so made the dead man finally loosen his hands, but the big family has been restless so far, not to mention the business has suffered repeated setbacks. The whole family was restless, so they thought of finding someone to take over.Then there was the scene of sending the corpse of the mixed seam to Cai Xu's house.

After hearing the whole story, Cai Xu was almost so angry that he cursed, not only because the other party was messing around, but also because the other party knew the danger, and even transported the corpse to his home, wanting his death!

When he proposed to return the corpse and the remuneration, and refused to accept the business, not only was he unsuccessful, he was kicked out of the house and threatened by the other party. The villagers of Cai Village followed him and Cai Xu was in bad luck.

The other party's family has a big business and a lot of influence in the local area. Of course, Cai Xu knew that the other party was not joking, and he also knew that he would not be able to get rid of this hot potato. In the end, he drove the old horse back to Xicai Village with the ice coffin, frowning all the way , thinking about how to deal with this hot potato.

Cai Xu's first idea was to separate the two sisters again, and then replace their bodies with paper figurines or hay puppets to repair the two sisters' bodies.

After Cai Xu returned home, he began to prepare tools, but when he left for a short while, when he returned to the lobby, he found that someone was sneaking open the coffin and stealing the corpse. It happened to be at night.

Those who can eat the food of the vulva are not cowardly. Don't be afraid to see a dead body, but he is not afraid at all when he meets a villain and a kid. He just grabs a bench and wants to Fight the corpse thief.

The corpse thief was startled by Cai Xu who rushed out suddenly, and ran away. Although Cai Xu didn't catch up, and the lights were dim at night, he couldn't see the opponent's face clearly, but he still recognized the corpse thief through the opponent's physical features. The thief is just loafing around in the village all day long, and is best at stealing chickens and dogs and gambling badly.

Cai Xu immediately became angry. This scarred eye is idle all day long, and he is addicted to gambling. No girl is willing to marry him. He is almost 40 years old and still a bachelor. Let the dead be spared!
Cai Xu went directly to the opposite door to Ba Yayan's house. He was so angry that he kicked the door open without saying a word, and he was not polite to Ba Yayan. He was not even afraid of the dead on weekdays, but he was still afraid of a big living person. .

Scar Yayan is not at home, only the house with air leaks from all sides is bare, and I don't know if it is because of the Dongchuang incident that Scar Yayan hid.

The small mountain village is not big at all, and if there is any trouble, it will spread throughout the village immediately. After hearing Cai Xu's scolding, the villagers learned what happened, and they all cursed that the scarred eye is not human, even worse than a beast.It's fine to sneak around on weekdays, and the folks in the big hometown just put up with it. Unexpectedly, this scar is so painful that even the dead begin to miss it.

The excited villagers helped to search for Scarred Eye, but they couldn't find Scarred Eye after searching for most of the night. Li Zheng told Cai Xu to go back first, and he would organize the villagers to look for Scarred Eye tomorrow when his vision was clear during the day. Seeing that the stupid things he did today have offended everyone, he will definitely scratch his scars and come back to give him an explanation.

I thought the matter would pass away so peacefully, but the whole strange thing was just the beginning. Cai Xu returned home, lit incense for the deceased, and wanted to close the coffin again, but the incense sticks broke as soon as they were lit. After three sticks of incense sticks were broken in a row, Cai Xu's complexion changed drastically, and he hurried to the ice coffin to check the condition of the corpse.

Before, because he was angry and saw that the corpse had not been stolen, he didn't think too much and went straight to Ba Yayan's house and kicked the door. Only at this time did he realize that the thread that sewed the dead man's eyelids was picked apart by Ba Yayan!Unexpectedly, this scarred eye was opened to a dead man, this scarred eye made him miserable!

There is a saying in the industry of fishing for Yinmen, that when drawing dragons, do not touch the eyes, when drawing tigers, do not touch the pupils, and when drawing paper figures, they only draw the eyes but do not touch the eyes.

Of course Cai Xu understood what it meant to open the eyes of the dead.

But he was the first person the dead man saw after opening his eyes. His shadow was reflected in the pupils of the dead man. The girl who died suddenly and was a mixed corpse would definitely seek revenge from him.

Cai Xu scolded all nine generations of his ancestor with scarred eyes, but after scolding, he realized that it was equivalent to scolding his ancestor, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

He broke one of the taboos of the mortician, and another of the taboo of fishing for the vulva. This is really unlucky for people, and the good and the bad come one after another. At this point, even he is a little at a loss In the end, I can only change the black wooden coffin for the girl before the ice coffin melts, and then seal it with century-old coffin nails, and then fill it with ink fountain threads and paste yellow talismans.I plan to find a solution in the next few days, and wait until I find a solution before dealing with the girl in the coffin.

After finishing all this work, Cai Xu, who hadn't had a good night's sleep in the past few days, finally fell asleep unknowingly in the lobby.

He slept soundly that night, but luckily nothing happened, if the scarred eye went away and came back again, the body would definitely be stolen this time.The next morning, he was woken up by the sound of knocking on the door in panic. Some villagers came to him anxiously, saying that Scar was dead and drowned in the river outside the village.

Cai Xu, who was sleepy just now, was awakened suddenly. When he followed the villagers to the river, he saw that Scarred Eyes had died strangely. Holding a torch in his hand, he stood at the bottom of the clear stream just one person deep, and made a gesture. It looks like walking into the bottom of the river after falling into a ghost wall?His body was covered in waterweed and he died of drowning.

In broad daylight, seeing such a strange way of death, not to mention the villagers trembling with fright, even Cai Xu gasped.

The aquatic plants that entangle Scarred Eye's body actually give people a creepy feeling, as if they are not aquatic plants, but clumps of hair, which are extremely creepy in sunny days and broad daylight.

……

……

"Then what happened next?" The old Taoist asked curiously on the donkey cart with its wheels kicking and bouncing.

Jin An and the old Taoist were sitting at the end of the donkey cart. On the donkey cart was a black coffin, fastened firmly with thick hemp ropes. The donkey cart was driven by a dark-skinned rural old man with thick arms and legs. Sitting silent all the way, a sad middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man is also thick-boned and dark-skinned. One can tell at a glance that he is a farmer who has faced the loess all his life and his back to the sky.

And the donkey cart was walking on the dirt road to Xicai Village.

The old man continued to drive the donkey with a rope whip, and said: "The people in Xicai Village refused to tell about what happened later. No one knows what happened in Xicai Village. The little old man I know is because of Xicai Village. The villagers of Cai Village said it unintentionally after being drunk once."

Sitting at the end of the donkey cart, with his back to the old man driving the donkey cart, Jin An also turned around to look at the black coffin on the donkey cart: "According to the different ways of death, there are five types of coffins. Coffins, white coffins for unmarried men and women, yellow coffins for ordinary people, golden coffins for princes and nobles, and black coffins for only those who died unjustly... Elderly people, do you also go to Xicai Village to find a mortician to repair the corpse of the bitter master in the coffin? "

The old man was surprised: "The Taoist priest is well-informed, and this trip is indeed to find a mortician in Xicai Village."

This time it was the old Taoist who said, "I don't know how the benefactor in the coffin died. Need to find a mortician to repair the body?"

The old man sighed: "The child secretly ran to the village reservoir to swim in summer, and was dragged by the water ghost to become a scapegoat and drowned."

"When the body was recovered, the head was gone. Everyone said that it was eaten off by the thousand-year-old fish king in the reservoir. The child's parents found me, the old man, and accompanied the child to Xicai Village."

The silent middle-aged man sitting next to the old man wiped tears from the corners of his eyes sadly at this moment. He must be the biological father of the drowned child.

"Supreme Taiyi Duer Tianzun." Jin An and the old Taoist expressed regret.

"Why did the old Taoist take his disciples to Xicai Village?" asked the old donkey cart curiously.
