The Secret Art of Refining the Dead: The Walking Corpse File

Chapter 99
Zhou Xuanye didn't seem to want to mention Fu Nan too much. Seeing that Tang Linlin had packed everything properly, he said helplessly, "Let's go, don't waste time."

Only then did Tang Linlin's stinky face soften, and she took my arm and said, "Go, Tiantian, my sister will take you to see and see today." Actually, this girl is one year younger than me, but she has a weird personality. It's a headache.

We drove to the foot of the mountain, and to the old reservoir, we had to walk a small section of the mountain road.Unfortunately, it just rained the day before yesterday, and the soil in some places was still wet. Tang Linlin wore a pair of high heels, walking on the muddy and steep mountain road was like walking a tightrope, and I was terrified to see it.In the end, the girl climbed on my back.

I was quite helpless, and said, "Do you women like high heels so much?"

Tang Linlin blinked her big eyes, and said in a very affectionate voice: "Tian Tian, ​​as a man who is 1.7 meters tall, you can't understand the pain of a short man." , the only external shortcoming is probably the height, less than 1.6 meters, plus the cute appearance, she looks like a little sister.She joked with me before that she couldn't get a boyfriend, and I said, "Don't tease me, you are so beautiful and cute, how is it possible, I think your vision is too high."

Tang Linlin said innocently: "No, they said, facing me, there will be a feeling of committing a crime against a minor."

While chatting, I followed Zhou Xuanye with Tang Linlin on my back, this girl didn't stop, she suddenly reached out to pat me on the shoulder and said, "Drive, drive, hurry up, didn't I feed you grass? "

I said: "If you say one more word, I will throw you directly."

Tang Linlin finally shut up, showing a flattering smile, and said, "Brother Tian Gu, you are so handsome."

I said, "This flattery is true."

While talking, they finally arrived at the reservoir, and the old couple was already waiting by the side of the reservoir, and there was a fat middle-aged man walking with them.

The old man introduced: "This is Officer Wang."

"Police?" I was a little surprised, and thought that the methods we used to retrieve the corpses were not visible. Now that the police are here, how can we use them?Officer Wang stretched out his hand and said, "Nice to meet you three."

Zhou Xuanye was also very surprised, and said, "Officer Wang, what are you doing here?"

Officer Wang smiled and said, "I'm on vacation today, and I didn't wear a police uniform, so don't call me Officer Wang, call me Old Wang. I'm very curious, and I really want to see and see. Our police force can't salvage it." For the dead who came up, how did you operate it? Learn new techniques. However, the penalty for fraud is very high now, so don’t take a detour.”

It turned out that a policeman with a high sense of justice thought we were liars and tricked the old couple. He came to follow us.

I was speechless and thought it was funny. To be honest, although he was targeting us, as a policeman, his spirit of caring for the people after work is really worthy of praise.

Zhou Xuanye understood the other party's words, just smiled, and casually began to look at the reservoir in front of him.

The original area of ​​the reservoir should be large, but due to abandonment, the surrounding soil is silted up, and the water volume is reduced, forming a terrain with deep water in the middle and silt on the outside.The muddy land is full of dense aquatic plants. This kind of ecology is actually quite suitable for some waterfowl to survive, but for some reason, I didn't see a single waterfowl.

It is still early at this moment, but it is more than six o'clock in the morning. Because it is close to the reservoir, there is still a thin mist around it. The water in the reservoir is stagnant water, which looks dark green. I walked to the side and looked down. Not good, I can't see the bottom, but according to the information provided by the old couple, the water here should be very deep.

There was a wooden boat docked by the reservoir with some simple salvage equipment on it. Zhou Xuanye looked at it for a while and said, "Tiangu, Linlin, you come on board with me." Officer Wang said, "Can I go up and have a look?" Although it was a question, the person had already walked towards the position of the wooden boat.

Zhou Xuanye didn't mind, so he smiled indifferently, and the four of us boarded the boat, leaving only the old couple standing on the shore.

This boat uses a propeller, so we don't need to row it with our hands. With the rumbling sound of the engine, the hull drove to the center of the reservoir.

Zhou Xuanye signaled to stop the engine, so I closed the valve, and the wooden boat floated quietly on the reservoir, and the emerald green water looked extraordinarily deep.

I said, "Brother Zhou, what should we do next?"

Zhou Xuanye took out something from his backpack. When I looked at it, I found that it was another low-quality doll that cost five yuan each. This reminded me of the corpse that I crawled out of under the ruins. I couldn't help feeling a little excited, thinking: Could it be Is Zhou Xuanye going to use that move last time?Could this corpse swim up by itself?

The next moment, Zhou Xuanye took out an oil-based pen and began to write on the doll's chest.What he wrote was the deceased's name, surname and date of birth, which were neatly arranged on the left and right. Officer Wang on the side also watched intently, as if to see what kind of moths our group of suspected liars could make.

After Zhou Xuanye finished all this, he pasted a talisman paper that he had prepared earlier on the doll's forehead, and immediately nailed it with a very special-looking nail.The nail is golden yellow, only about three centimeters. The nail itself is very small, but if you look closely, you can find that there are some even smaller red patterns on the small nail, which seem to be made of cinnabar. Plated on.

After finishing all this, Zhou Xuanye put the doll into my hand, smiled, showed his white teeth, and said, "From now on, don't talk, just give it a try."

let me?
I was very excited and nodded. Since I saw Zhou Xuanye operate it once before, although he didn't tell me, I can still roughly guess what to do next.

I stood up the doll lying on my hand, Zhou Xuanye nodded approvingly, and said, "Let him go ashore."

Go ashore?
I thought he could swim out by himself.

I started by telling the doll to pretend to be walking.Zhou Xuanye began to explain on the side, saying: "Choose the right east, don't turn around."

East, that is, where the old couple was.It suddenly occurred to me that if they watched their dead son walk out of the water, they would be scared to death.I felt something was wrong, but Zhou Xuanye told me not to speak again, I couldn't help being anxious, and gestured to the old couple on the shore.

Zhou Xuanye just met him now, patted his forehead, and said: "Blame me, I didn't expect this level. Recently, I have taken on too much work, and I forgot how ordinary people can bear it." Then, he stretched out his hand to guide me, saying : "If this is the case, it can be like this, you can see my gestures clearly."

His hands suddenly started to seal. In order for me to see clearly, the whole process was very slow. The last movement was right hand to left hand, index finger and middle finger together to form a sword formula, and he heard him lightly scold: "Come out."

The doll in my hand remained motionless.

After Zhou Xuanye finished, he said calmly: "I'm just teaching you that if you really use it, such slow movements won't work. If you see it clearly, do it once."

My memory is still good, and these handprints are not complicated, so I silently recalled them twice in my heart, and immediately started to experiment.

I put the doll on the boat and began to make seals. Because I was not skilled, the first few times failed, and the doll didn't respond.Zhou Xuanye was not in a hurry at all, motioned me to take it easy, and said, "This method is called inviting the corpse, and it mainly relies on the golden needle for fixing the soul, the walking corpse talisman, and this set of handprints. I will teach you the simplest ones, such as spells, It cannot be learned overnight.”

This is typical for me to be cultivated. I was very excited, and immediately worked harder.As the saying goes, there is nothing difficult in the world, as long as there is a heart, I have studied it seriously, so I quickly hit the mark required by Zhou Xuanye, and he said with satisfaction: "This time it will definitely work, let's start."

I immediately performed the hand art again, but this time, when I was holding the sword art in my hand and was about to "exit", I suddenly felt that the two fingers seemed to have an invisible pressure, which made me feel like this. The last movement suddenly became slow.

I couldn't help being stunned for a moment, I didn't know what was going on, and I didn't want to give up halfway, so I had to use all my strength to complete this last movement.Finally, the action was completed, but the whole hand twitched like a cramp, and the doll remained motionless.

At this time, Police Officer Wang next to him said with a suppressed smile on his face, "I said, are you two performing? Is it okay? No, just follow me to the police station. I suspect you are a scam."

Tang Linlin wrinkled her nose angrily, and said, "Didn't you say that you are taking a break, that you are nosy while resting, you are too dedicated."

Officer Wang said: "It's not easy to be a policeman these days, and it's even more difficult to get a job. How can I do it if I don't show much?"

Zhou Xuanye didn't pay attention to the words of the two of them. He just glanced at me and didn't know what he was thinking. After a while, he patted me on the shoulder and said: "You may be a little less enlightened. It doesn't matter. Just practice more. The stupid bird flies first."

I just felt like crying, but I thought I was really a stupid bird, not to mention how depressed I was.
