Chapter 353 The Price
The man in the t-shirt picked up the Chenzi drum from the ground, looked at it, and then handed it to me.
I carefully observed the drum and found that it was heavier than I thought and was made of two skulls. The surface of the skull was also plated with a layer of mercury, and the bottom was polished very flat, and covered with two pieces of human skin as thin as cicada wings.
One drum skin is painted with a wolf and the other with a deer. Both animals are Manchu totems.
Putting aside the weird feeling it gives people, this is indeed an ingenious work of art. It is said that when the Manchus conquered all directions, they would kidnap all the skilled craftsmen and keep them in the palace to serve the royal family. This group of people is the so-called ' Enshrined in the inner court'.
This drum was obviously made by the inner court.
At this time, Yin Xinyue, Li Mazi and the girl came out of the woods. They were startled by the tragic death of Cheng Xiaohu on the ground. Then they saw the Chenzi drum in my hand and tried to see it. I specially told them not to knock it randomly.
When it was passed to the girl's hand, she actually knocked it curiously, which scared my heart.
"Do you want to die? Don't you think the trouble we have encountered is not enough?" Li Mazi quickly snatched the Chenzi drum from her hand.
"Look, I scared you. I broke a drum. Is it that powerful?" the girl said nonchalantly.
The man in the t-shirt suddenly drew his sword and wanted to stab her throat. Of course, it was just a bluff. The girl turned pale with fright: "Brother, what are you doing!"
"Is a broken sword that scary?" The man in the T-shirt said calmly. He could actually joke, but he was a little cold.
But I noticed that the girl called him "brother" but called me "uncle". What a fucking difference in treatment!
This night was so hard that my bones almost fell apart. I suggested that we go back quickly, but the man in the T-shirt asked us to bury Cheng Xiaohu.
The leaf litter in the Suicide Forest was so thick that it was impossible to dig a hole, and we had no tools.
So, we covered Cheng Xiaohu's body with fallen leaves on the ground. The man in the T-shirt also burned some paper money for him and recited a rebirth mantra. He said that this would prevent Cheng Xiaohu from turning into an evil ghost and continuing to harm people.
The girl curiously asked what we did, and I replied inexplicably: "Gods!"
After we got out of the woods, we got into the car and I asked the man in the T-shirt who his client was.
"Apart from Kangxi and the Cheng family, who else has a great relationship with this drum?" the man in the T-shirt asked me.
"Could it be that he is a descendant of Obai?" I had an idea.
The man in the t-shirt nodded. The person who entrusted him was the descendant of Ao Bai. Although Ao Bai was executed by Emperor Kangxi, some of his relatives still escaped and fled to Nanyang, where they lived incognito.
Compared with having the owl's head displayed to the public and being executed in Lingchi, it is the most cruel thing for the ancestors to be made into a fetus. Therefore, they tried their best to find out the whereabouts of Chenzigu and entrusted the man in the T-shirt to bring it back.
At one o'clock in the morning, the car drove back to the city. Yin Xinyue gave the girl all the money she had, which should be enough for her to live for a while.
The girl got out of the car, but stood and refused to leave. She cried and said, "You lied to me!"
"how?"
"You clearly said you would help me kill my stepfather, so I knew you were lying to me. You can't believe what adults say," the girl cursed.
"You are a little girl who kills people at every turn. You will go to jail for killing people. Besides, you can't just kill anyone you don't like, right?" Li Mazi said.
"Liar! Big liar!" the girl cried and turned away, but the man in the T-shirt suddenly stopped her.
He took out a thumb-long jasper doll from his arms and handed it to the girl. He asked the girl to feed the doll with the blood from her fingertips for seven days, then put it under the stepfather's bed. The next day, the doll was He will bleed to death from his seven orifices.
The man in the t-shirt rarely deceives people, but this shocked me a little, and I quickly asked: "Are you really going to ask her to kill her stepfather?"
"Evildoers deserve to die! Besides, murder and revenge are also the most important functions of evil spirits."
Although he is a spiritual practitioner, the T-shirt man also has his own views on good and evil.
"Thank you, brother!" The girl happily hugged the man in the T-shirt and kissed him on the face. She was about to leave when she was stopped by the man in the T-shirt again.
"What's wrong?" the girl asked.
"Don't you ask what the price will be for doing this?" the man in the T-shirt said mysteriously.
"It doesn't matter what the price is!"
"After killing someone, you will lose twenty years of your life." The man in the T-shirt said.
The girl's eyes widened, as if she couldn't believe it. Finally, she nodded: "I understand, thank you!"
Nothing in this world can be obtained without any price. Every time you get something, you will lose something.
The Cheng brothers wanted too much, and in the end they ran out of tricks and got themselves involved instead.
Looking at the girl disappearing into the night, I just hope she will think twice before taking action.
Because once you get involved in some things, you may never be able to look back!
