Kowloon pull coffin

Chapter 22
The next day I went to Xiaowangzhuang, which is my sister-in-law's natal home.

I drove directly there in Bai Laogui's rotten boat. Before I officially retrieved the corpse, I had to visit the sorceress first.

The corpse itself is not scary, unlike the water monkey, which even dares to kill the living when it is fierce.The biggest trouble for Shisha lies in the word cause and effect. For example, Wang Fang, if I want to salvage her body, I must avenge her.

To avenge a ghost, it is inevitable to summon the soul and ask the ghost, and ask her where the grievance is.The old ghost Bai never taught me this skill, but the sorcerer must know.

The sorceress of Xiaowangzhuang is very good at teaching, and even people like Bai Laogui have a bit of respect when they mention her.

Bai Laogui disrespects gods and Buddhas disrespectfully. The people he respects either have extraordinary abilities or experience.

Like Buddha, it is both.The suffering that Buddha has suffered is far more painful than that of Ling Chi in the old society. Her insight is completely honed by blood and tears.

The sorceress, on the other hand, has extraordinary abilities. She can go to the underworld, and going to the underworld means going to the underworld.

According to legend, there are thirteen stations in the underworld, starting from the Town God's Temple and ending at the Huanhun Cliff.In the era of the end of the Dharma, there are not many Yin people who can walk through all the thirteen stations of the underworld, and the witch is one of them.

The sorceress is very old, with deep wrinkles, sunken eye sockets, wearing a large black robe, and her hands and feet are as thin as chicken feet.When I walked in, she was sitting on a wicker chair in the yard basking in the sun.

Corpse hunters are considered to be half Taoists, and like sorceresses, they eat the dead, and they are collectively referred to as yin people.As I am considered the apprentice of Bai Laogui, I have to salute as a junior when I see the witch.

Seeing that I was going to kneel down to salute, the sorceress was so frightened that she almost fell off the wicker chair, and stopped me, not letting me salute.

"Don't salute me, I'm still thinking about living a few more years with my old bones." Seeing my confusion, she explained again: "You are the man of the Yellow River Empress, husband and wife share the same virtue, you salute me as a junior." It's like lowering her status, wouldn't it be too much for the old man if she suffers."

It seems that not only the local ghosts know about the fact that Yuhua married me, but even the ghosts like witches who have been dealing with ghosts all the year round also know about it.It's just that I'm a little surprised that Yuhua can't even solve the troubles of the local city god, why is the sorceress so afraid of her.

It took me a long time to understand that Chen Guanzhu of Huiji Temple is not afraid of the scorpion because the Tianshi Mansion of Longhu Mountain stands behind him, and the reason why the City God dares to come to provoke him is because the entire Yin Division stands behind him.

But for those Yin people in the world who don't have a big background to support, the Yellow River Empress is still a taboo existence.Of course, this is also related to Yanhua's own strength.As for how high her ability is, I will not mention it for the time being.

At that moment, I expressed my intention to the witch, saying that I wanted to salvage Wang Fang's body.

"Have you figured it out? This is a corpse. If you want to salvage her, you have to avenge her. If you fail, you will be captured by her dead soul and used as a substitute." The sorceress asked me.

"I know. That's why I came here to ask you about summoning souls."

"The evocation can only be carried out after seeing her bones. You just need to fish out her bones, and I will help you with the evocation of ghosts for the sake of Empress Huang He."

"Okay, then I will thank the witch first."

After leaving the witch's house, I went to find Wang Fang's natal family.

I thought they would definitely arrange for someone to go with me to retrieve the corpse, but they kicked me out as soon as I stated my purpose, and scolded me for meddling in my own business.Said that Wang Fang has lost all their face, and their family will not have this daughter.

Despite the awe-inspiring words, I can still see that the reason why they don't go is all because of fear.

Wang Fang has become a corpse, and the child in her belly has now become a baby spirit, and they dare not go.

They didn't go, so I had no choice but to drive to Baishakou alone in a bad boat.

Baishakou is Wang Fang's husband's house, and it is also the place where she threw herself into the river.

When I heard that I was going to salvage Wang Fang's body, a large number of villagers quickly surrounded the shore.From their discussion, I heard that no one from her husband's family came either.

Although Huixiang, an orphan, was bullied during her lifetime, when the body was retrieved, there were old people in the village who buried her in the coffin. In contrast, Wang Fang's natal family has parents, and her husband's family has parents-in-law, but there is no one to collect the body.

Alas, I don't know who is more pitiful between the two of them.

The place where Wang Fang's body sank was in the shade of a cliff, a bend in a river with slow water flow and no aquatic plants.

I leaned the rotten boat on the cliff and began to prepare for the corpse.

The water in the shade was cold, so I drank a big gulp of sorghum spirits, and then chewed half a piece of ginger while pinching my nose.

Spirits keep warm, and ginger drives away evil spirits.

After warming up my body, I jumped into the water with a red rope, body rope, and a waterproof flashlight.There is no need for a white cloth, and there is no need to cover the bones under the water without seeing the sun.

The water is so deep, I have been sinking more than two feet, and I haven't seen the bottom yet.

Not only was the water deep, but it was also far colder than I expected, which gave me goosebumps all over my body, and my body trembled involuntarily.

Three feet, four feet, five feet...

When I dived to a full ten feet, I started to panic.

Even though I am brave and good at water, I can't go all the way down this bottomless bottom, right?
The water is deep and the water pressure is high, and my eardrums are oppressed and buzzing, all supported by a breath.

But if I don't go down, who will help me salvage Wang Fang's bones?

There are still people taking risks for money when erecting corpses, and no one will take over the work of corpses.I can only bite the bullet and continue diving. This is the time to test the man's courage.

The depth of the water was endless, and finally, when I dived about five feet, my feet touched the mud at the bottom of the river.

The breath in my chest was almost exhausted, and I gritted my teeth and insisted on turning on the waterproof flashlight, wanting to see the situation at the bottom of the river before floating up to take a breath.

The water quality is very clear, and the beam of light from the flashlight has a wide field of vision, but I turned around and saw nothing.

I couldn't hold back anymore and was about to float up to take a breath, but at this moment, I seemed to see a figure flashing past in front of me.

I hurriedly pointed the flashlight at it, and this sight almost scared me to death.

I took a picture of someone else, but Wang Fang herself, and it was directly on her face!

Before going into the water, I made full mental preparations for her corpse. Wang Fang had been dead for so many days, and her corpse must have been swollen out of shape, and some of it might even be eaten away by fish and shrimp in the water.

But I never expected that she is still exactly the same as before.

Wearing a taupe-colored dress, brown curly hair, and a figure with slender arms and legs that hasn't deformed at all.

This is not the key, the most important thing is that she is alive!

When my flashlight beam just shone on her face, her originally closed eyes suddenly opened.

After opening her eyes, Wang Fang first showed me a strange smile, and then walked towards me step by step.

I was completely frightened and stupid now, I didn't respond, I just looked at her in a daze.

When she came to about three feet in front of me, Wang Fang stopped and opened and closed her lips, as if she was talking to me.

But my ears were already buzzing under the pressure of the water, and I couldn't hear what she said at all.

Seeing that I didn't respond, Wang Fang seemed to sigh, and then pointed up with her hand.

I looked up following her movements, and then I remembered that I was still at the bottom of the river, and suddenly the suffocation of lack of oxygen came to my heart, and I hurried up desperately.

When I floated up, even the tip of my heart was trembling, for fear of being dragged by her and drowning at the bottom of the river.

Fortunately, I floated up smoothly, climbed onto the rotten boat, and started panting like a dead dog.

When my emotions gradually stabilized, I began to think about what happened underwater just now.

I didn't find Wang Fang's body at first because I had been shining a flashlight on the bottom of the river. I never thought that Wang Fang was standing upright in the water, let alone that she was alive.

This activity does not refer to living people, but living corpses.

When it comes to living corpses, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind. Isn’t a living corpse underwater just dead?

Bai Laogui once told me that the bones in the Yellow River, the corpses and the vertical corpses are not the scariest, and there is a walking corpse that is much more terrifying than them.

This kind of corpse is called dead body.

The dead walk underwater, wandering day after day, year after year, where they died before they were alive.

With resentment in his body, he will die without falling.

Only when the Yellow River dries up, or the people who killed them die, will they fall down.
