husband from hell

Chapter 79
Luo Weilan was a little embarrassed, and replied: "In any family that raises ghosts, how can there be anyone who is not interested in longevity? According to legend, with longevity, one can get the ability to reverse reincarnation and control life and death just like Wei Changsheng. , It’s just a legend, after all, the only one in the world who really knows the secret of longevity is Wei Changsheng himself.”

"I see..." Everyone knows that longevity is an important thing, so they start looking for it, but they don't even know what longevity is. Isn't this ridiculous?
I thought about it, and then said, "Then, Wei Changsheng is also responsible for Luo Chengke's disappearance."

"People in the clan don't know either," Luo Weilan lowered her voice, and said, "Wei Changsheng was originally from Tanshen Town, and it was because of the power of longevity that he founded the mysterious Biluomen. , is going against the sky, a cult-like existence, everyone wants to get longevity from him, but at this moment, longevity disappeared from Bi Luomen."

"I've heard of it too." I went on to say, "So, many people, like the people from Biluomen and our longevity walkers in Tanshen Town, come here to look for the lost longevity, and want to try their luck?"

"It can be considered." Luo Weilan said: "However, leaving aside longevity, our ancestor named Luo Chengke is not an ordinary person..."

Having said that, he hesitated a little, and said cautiously: "I'll tell you, believe it or not, it's up to you."

My heart suddenly became nervous, this is the first time I can know about Cheng Ke so closely!Suppressing his violent heartbeat, he asked in anticipation and panic, "What kind of person is he?"

For Cheng Ke, I have had many guesses. Maybe he is an infatuated person who has been waiting for calamus. Maybe he is a very persistent person who always stays where he is for what promise?
In short, from Cheng Ke's attitude towards Calamus, it can be seen that he will definitely not be a fickle person!

Luo Weilan lowered her voice and said, "Luo Chengke is a man who likes to kill, has bloody hands, and is ambitious."

I frowned and opened my mouth halfway. The words entered my ears, as if two needles had been pierced in. No matter what I heard, I felt uncomfortable: "What did you say?"

"Looking at your attitude towards him, I also know that the relationship between the two of you is different. Maybe you have your own understanding of him." Luo Weilan swallowed and said, "I'm just telling the truth, he can Said, it is our Luo family, a rebellious son who is rare in a hundred years, in order to cultivate ghost art, he even did not hesitate..."

"How's the wound?" Cheng Ke was impartial, turning his head to the side at this moment, his voice was clear, but there was a bit of coolness.

Luo Weilan gave a "secret" wink and said, "It's done, it's probably nothing, I hope there won't be any scars."

I took my hand back, Cheng Ke looked a little tired, took my hand, thanked Luo Weilan, and took me back.

I turned my head to look at Luo Weilan. Luo Weilan's eyes were also quite complicated, with a smile drawn from the corner of his mouth, looking at Cheng Ke's appearance, he was also very cautious.

Cheng Ke led me back to the house, didn't say much, and looked at me after a long while: "Ajiu's matter..."

"I don't mind!" I said quickly, "You just want to save that body, not for Ah Jiu, right? I know, I've always known."

Cheng Ke pursed his lips, and pulled me into his arms: "Why, you always trust me?"

My heart skipped a beat, and I laughed: "Even if you lie to me, it means you care about me. If you don't even bother me, it's..."

"I won't." Cheng Ke's arm was stronger: "You know."

This embrace was still so cold, I suddenly hoped that my body temperature could warm him up too.

How many springs and autumns has he lived alone in that small ancestral hall?Wind, frost, rain and snow, flowers bloom and fall, he is just one person.

I still remember the first time he touched my face and said with a bit of loneliness: "It's warm, it's so good."

It was great to be with him until he found what he wanted to find.

That's great.

"Lu Qiao, if, after finding my past, you find that I am not the kind of person you thought I was," Cheng Ke paused, "What should I do?"

"What else can I do?" I leaned against his heartless chest and murmured, "As long as you are you, that's fine."

Who doesn't have an unknown side!

I can see that Cheng Ke is hesitating about the life experience that is about to be unveiled. He should have left a lot of memories that he can't remember, but it should be not very happy.

God Mao Gu said that Cheng Ke made an appointment with him before, if he forgot everything, please God Mao Gu, don't tell him.

However, who can bear the unknown?Still the kind of unknown to oneself.

"What kind of person do you think Luo Weilan is?" Cheng Ke suddenly asked.

I raised my face to look at his pretty face, which was so repulsive: "Who is he? Enthusiastic and cheerful, he seems to be very sincere in his treatment of others."

Cheng Ke frowned, as if he was not very happy.

I got up from his arms: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing." Cheng Ke pressed me on his chest again: "Memory, do you want to start looking for it from Luo's house?"

"The Luo family is always an opportunity." I looked at him cautiously: "We have a lot in common with you, don't we?"

Why is Cheng Ke a bit inexplicable today?

"Tell me, what do we have in common?" Cheng Ke looked at me, his eyes seemed to be condensed with snow: "Not like you and Calamus, I and that Luo Weilan don't look alike at all."

"It doesn't necessarily have to look alike." I thought for a while, and then said: "Aren't your curses exactly the same as him? There are Liu Xiansuo and so on... It can't be said that it's all a coincidence."

Speaking of this, I slowly panicked in my heart. If Cheng Ke is really what Luo Weilan said, a person with bloody hands and bloodthirsty, then he will return to the Luo family, then...

"Crash la la la..." The rain outside only stopped for a short moment, and then it continued to fall. Amidst the sound of the rain, there was the sound of toads gurgling and gurgling.

"Then wait until the rain stops." Cheng Ke's chin lightly rubbed against the top of my head: "Let's go find it."

I nodded, leaning on him a little tighter: "Maybe, it's not as bad as we thought."

"Bad?" Cheng Ke lowered his head: "You think badly?"

"Uh..." I seemed to have slipped my tongue, so I had to bite the bullet and say, "I was just thinking, maybe you and Changpu..."

"I will never. I just decided for nothing that you are the one I want to wait for." Cheng Ke said, "Although I forgot, there will always be a reason."

"I know." Thinking of the lingering Ah Jiu and the ubiquitous calamus, I felt awkward for no reason, and began to feel inexplicable regrets, regretting that there was no me back then.

"I'm sorry..." Cheng Ke held my injured hand and said suddenly, "It's because of me..."

"I just want to stand side by side with you." I held Cheng Ke's hand and replied with a smile, "I can't just stand behind you forever."

Cheng Ke smiled slightly: "Okay."

His smile was finally no longer like melting water from a glacier, but like a warm sun.

"Dong dong dong..." Suddenly there was a gong beating outside, and I couldn't help but stand up again: "Is there anything wrong with the shop owner?"

Pushing open the window pane, I saw that the person beating the gong was not the owner of the shop, but a man in black.

The man was dressed in black, with a cloth hat of the same color on his head, and a hemp rope around his waist. He had a strong figure, muscular muscles, and was tall. He looked majestic, but he looked like a sesame seed cake It looks like a flat face, coupled with uncoordinated small eyes, a flat nose, and pockmarked cheeks. To put it bluntly, he is so ugly that he has no friends.

"The kind of person who chases corpses must be ugly in order to be able to suppress the negative energy." Cheng Ke cast his eyes over and said, "It seems that he is a veteran among corpse hunters."

"So you still have to be ugly?" I said, "It's also a job of looking at faces."

"Not only the face, but also the sense of direction." Although Cheng Ke no longer has those memories about his past, he still catches up with the memories of these yin and yang arts: "Before you learn the art from a teacher, you must You have to rotate yourself under the scorching sun at noon. After the rotation is complete, you can still recognize the east, west, north, and south. This is a talented person-because this line of work has to travel at night. If it is cloudy, there will be no guides to guide the route. Stars, it is very likely that you will lose your way in the barren mountains."

"I didn't expect to be so particular about doing this job?"

"If you can do well in this line of work, you are truly rewarded by God." Cheng Ke said: "Just like a ghost raiser, the horoscope must be strong enough, otherwise it will not be able to restrain the corpse."

It should, also need some big zodiac signs.

At this time, the big man was vigorously beating a medium-sized gong, and the technique of beating was also very strange. It was short and long, sometimes light and sometimes heavy, as if it had a fixed point.

And with the sound of the gong, the slender man under the mulberry tree, with a headless body, suddenly started to wriggle slowly!
I have heard of the magic of expelling corpses long ago, but this is the first time I saw it, so my eyes naturally widened.

But I saw that the dead body moved its hands and feet slowly first, and then, instead of bending its arms and legs to prop up its body like ordinary people, it bounced straight from the ground like a stiff board. Get up, the whole body up and down, not even a bend!
By the way, after a person dies, the corpse will have muscle stiffness, and there is no way to bend it.

And the mortician chanted a mantra, which was different from Li Minglang and the Fourth Aunt who pronounced words so clearly that others could understand the literal meaning. With a strong Xichuan accent, people can't understand what it is, but the corpse can understand, but instead of rushing to chase the mortician over, the corpse turned around and walked straight towards the big mulberry tree Jump over!
"This is called corpse hunting." Cheng Ke said: "The corpse will use the Yin energy similar to itself to bring back its mutilated limbs."

It turns out that the mortician really has this skill, no wonder the Hu family sisters were thinking about it just now, and wanted to ask the mortician if he could get back her sister's head!

The corpse first tentatively ran towards the mulberry tree, stepping on a lot of toads under its feet, but now there were no outsiders in the porch, so no one stopped it.

The mulberry tree was struck by lightning yesterday, and the fallen leaves were flying all over the ground. Today, the fat mantou must be because of the heavy rain, and there was no time to clean it up. The dead branches and broken leaves were soaked in the water under the rain, which was very A terrible feeling.

And the headless corpse stepped on the pile of things, bouncing and bouncing, and was about to jump into the tree!
Of course, he couldn't go up.

But at this time, the mortician put down the gong and rode out himself, and reached under the mulberry tree. Using both hands and feet, he climbed up very vigorously.

"Cheng Ke..." I couldn't help but get nervous. If the mortician went up to the mulberry tree, would he be injured by that toad monster just like the thin man?

Cheng Ke just shook his head and said: "He has been in this business for so long, so he can naturally distinguish between danger and safety. What's more, that thing is injured by the Scarlet Blood Curse now, so it must be hiding to recuperate. , I rashly came out to seek death."

Sure enough, the mortician rubbed his body like an ape, jumped up, stretched a thick arm into the tree hole, and dug it vigorously. A human head was just like that. Take it out!

Then, the mortician threw the head down, and the thin and big man's body followed the head and put it on his neck again!

This series of movements is extremely neat, without any sloppiness, it is simply breathtaking!
The slender man got the head, so he froze. The mortician glanced at us, and probably saw that we were not ordinary people, and we didn't seem to be troublesome, so he ignored us, opened his mouth and talked to the room. Inside shouted: "Xiaoyuan, come out, take the needle and thread!"

This mortician is not only ugly, but also has a very hoarse voice. It is estimated that this is also one of the professional qualities of the mortician.

I saw that the curtain of the door of the side room was lifted, revealing the face of a little girl, that is, in her early twenties, who was originally at the same age as a flower, but it is a bit regrettable that this little girl, compared to the rushing The morticians are even more ugly than others, with valgus nostrils, sunken forehead, and thick red cheeks. They should also be a reserve force to drive away the mortician.

The girl called Xiaoyuan held a ball full of steel wire in her hand, and took out a pin with the length of a finger, threaded the needle, arranged the steel wire, and tied a knot. Respectfully handed it over to the mortician.

The mortician also took it over, muttering words in his mouth, his hands were flying up and down, and he sewed an airtight seal on the neck of the slender man. The dexterity can't help but make people admire.

"Okay." Putting his hand away, the mortician threw the steel wire to Xiaoyuan and said, "Take it back."

I walked to the front hall where Fat Mantou was.

While holding the wire, Xiaoyuan turned her head, chanting indistinct incantations like a mortician, and sure enough, the body of the slender man moved on its own, just like before. stand up!

Cheng Ke looked at Xiaoyuan, as if he was very interested, but at the same time, Xiaoyuan just turned his head and saw Cheng Ke, he was a little dazed and flustered!

This panic doesn't matter, the mantra in his mouth is also broken, and the body of the slender man is about to fall towards Xiaoyuan!
I hurriedly pulled Cheng Ke to let him help. Cheng Ke was a little impatient, but he was still very fast. I didn't even see how he passed by. He had already supported the corpse. One point, he always treats others with a cold look: "Watch the way."

Xiaoyuan's dark complexion immediately turned red, her small eyes sparkled inexplicably, her two thick lips touched each other, hesitating, as if she wanted to say something.

Cheng Ke didn't look like he wanted to talk, but just came back alone.

Seeing Cheng Ke's attitude, Xiaoyuan was even more ashamed. She was even more nervous and didn't know where to put her hands and feet. She glanced at Cheng Ke secretly, as if she didn't know what to say, so she had to put the The body rushed back through the door.

I noticed that behind their slightly opened door, there were many people in black clothes standing side by side, each of them looked like paper dolls, with lifeless and stiff faces, and I understood in my heart that it must be what they needed. Drive the corpse away.

Cheng Ke glanced at it, and said: "It seems that they will stay here for a few more days, this rain does not seem to stop soon, and the most taboo is cloudy rain when driving the corpse outside. "

"What's the point?" I asked casually, "It's what you said before, afraid that you won't be able to see the stars when you drive at night, and you won't be able to guide you in that direction?"

"This is on the one hand," Cheng Ke said, looking at the thick dark clouds in the sky, "It's also because the most taboo thing about expelling corpses is lightning. All of them must be hung with town spirit talismans, but there is no guarantee that there will be no mistakes, so when encountering such a situation, those who chased the corpse must wait until the weather clears before going on their way."

Thinking of living in the same inn with a group of corpses, I feel a little awkward, but as long as Cheng Ke is by my side, there is nothing to be afraid of.

Cheng Ke seemed to have seen through my thoughts long ago, and asked, "Are you afraid?"

I shook my head quickly: "If you are by my side, I am not afraid of anything."

Cheng Ke's good-looking eyebrows and eyes were slightly moved, and his thin lips curled up: "Well, we will live here until the rain stops, and when the clouds clear, I will accompany you to watch the stars again."

I nodded and said with a smile, "That's great."

At this moment, the girl named Xiaoyuan came over timidly again, and said: "Just now... I really thank you, big brother, I... I don't have anything to repay, I made this refreshment myself, you guys If you don't mind, just eat a little."

I hurriedly said: "You are so polite, it's just a little effort..." Then I let the little girl into the room.

Cheng Ke still had an expressionless face and said nothing.

Xiaoyuan held a white linen bag in her hand, put it on the table, opened it, and inside were four round dumplings, and the whole body of those dumplings was a very beautiful blue color, like four pieces of good like emeralds.

"This is Aiye Wowotuan." Xiaoyuan said, "It resists wind evil, clears away heat and detoxifies..."

It is estimated that the mortician has been exposed to the evil spirit of corpses all year round, so he needs this kind of thing to resist. I remember that during the Dragon Boat Festival, there are always sales on the street.

After thanking him, he chatted with the little girl: "Your name is Xiaoyuan, right? Are you a family member of the mortician?"

Xiaoyuan shook her head, and said shyly: "Master picked me up. When I was a child, I was probably thrown away by adults because I was too ugly. Master drove the corpse through the graveyard and saw me, so he rescued me." Those who came down, said... that I am a good young man who chases corpses, and he intends to let me inherit the mantle."

Even though she said these somewhat sentimental words, Madoka's attitude was still quite honest, she didn't seem to blame others at all, on the contrary, she always seemed to be afraid of causing trouble to others, with a timid look.

I replied, "Your master is really a good person."

Madoka was still shy, and nodded heavily: "He is a good person."

While talking, she saw a hair clip on the table.

The hairpin was in the shape of a plastic flower, which was not common, but Madoka seemed to have never seen it before, and her eyes were full of liking.

I picked it up conveniently and said, "You brought Wowo Tuan here, and my sister has nothing to return. Let me wear this thing for you to play with?"

Xiaoyuan looked a little flattered, but it was obvious that children of this age must have the love of beauty, but she couldn't refuse, so she took it with her, and secretly looked at the reflection on the table again and again.

Inexplicable, a little distressing.

"Xiaoyuan! Xiaoyuan!" At this time, the mortician was coming out of the front hall, shouting at the top of his voice. Xiaoyuan hurried out when he heard the sound, and said goodbye to us shyly. This time he saw Cheng Ke , Little face turned red again.

It must be rare for the little girl to see such a good-looking person, right?Thinking of this, as someone close to Cheng Ke, I couldn't help feeling a little proud.

Turning around and looking at the green dumpling, I wanted to take it and taste it too, but Cheng Ke shook his head and said, "Don't eat this kind of thing randomly... People with unknown origins, who knows what's in it."

I was stunned for a moment: "The origin is unknown?"

Cheng Ke nodded, his peach blossom eyes were a little dark: "The ones they were chasing after were all the corpses of ghost raisers, and you didn't seem to notice that their bodies were not yours."

I widened my eyes: "Is it the same trick as Ah Jiu usually uses?"
