C17 Body-refining

My eyes were fixated on the "O" shape of the mouth inside the coffin as I shouted, "How could this happen!"

The reason why Zhao Jiale and I were surprised wasn't because the corpse of Gao Laoyi in the coffin was so terrifying.

It wasn't that Old Gao's corpse had suddenly come alive, or that Old Gao's corpse had suddenly come alive. On the contrary, the coffin was empty, and the body of Gao Laoyi was gone.

I asked Zhao where the body was in the coffin. Chen Jiale shook his head. He said to me, "Let's dig up the graves of Liu Jie and Gao Genji. As expected, the coffins of Liu Jie and Gao Laoyi are also empty."

Chen Jiale and I opened the graves of Liu Jie and Gao Genji together. When we opened the coffin lid, we found that the graves of Liu Jie and Gao Guiyi were also empty. The corpses of Liu Jie and Gao Genji were also gone, leaving only the empty coffin.

I said to Zhao Jiale, "Uncle Jia Le, where is the corpse in the coffin? Old Man Gao and his family just got buried this afternoon. "

"What do you think?" Zhao Jiale narrowed his eyes at me and asked.

"Huh?" I was not at all at a loss at Zhao Jiale's rhetorical question. "I don't think anyone would be interested in Gao Laoyi's corpse? "Elder Gao and his family's death was strange. Their grievances were already great …"

I can only guess, because in this day and age I don't think anyone would be interested in the bodies of the Gauguins. He took the risk to dig up Gao Laoyi's corpse. If it was a tomb robber, then it would be even more impossible, because the old man and his family's birthday suit were all missing.

I guessed, "Could it be a corpse?"

"Bullshit." Chen Jiale put down the cigarette that he hadn't finished and stomped on it hard. "I heard from those workers that it wasn't difficult to lift the coffin and I felt something was wrong. As expected, all the bodies in the coffin were gone."

Hearing Elder Gao's words, I remembered it now. Back then, when I was carrying the soul flag and walking in front of that tired steamed bun man, it was as though those labourers were walking on flat ground, their faces unblushing. At first, I thought it was the bodies of these labourers. From the looks of it, it wasn't just the laborers who were energetic, but the coffin was empty from the very beginning. It was just that no one had expected it.

After burying the three coffins at noon today, I saw that Zhao Jiale was giving smoke to the workers carrying the coffins and talking about something. I think that was when Zhao Jiale found out that something was wrong with the coffins and tried to catch the laborers there.

"Feng" Zhao Jiale stared at the empty coffins gloomily and said, "Look, the soil on these tombs didn't move at all when we came here. This proves that these tombs have never been opened." And the men said they thought it was light to carry the three coffins, so I think they were empty from the funeral to the grave, and there was no body in them at all. "

I took a deep breath. It would have been empty from the funeral to the coffin. The body in the coffin must have been taken away last night.

Because there were many people in the day, it was impossible to bring away the three corpses in broad daylight. It just so happened that something happened to Old Man Gao's family the day before yesterday. No one dared to guard Old Man Gao's house last night, so the thief must have taken advantage of last night's loophole and quietly moved the corpse away.

"Uncle Jia Le." I couldn't resist asking, "Then, who do you think would be interested in the corpses of the Gao family?" At this point, I suddenly felt a chill in my heart. Then, my complexion changed. "Could it really be a fake corpse?"

Because I really don't understand, who would be interested in these three corpses and take the initiative to seek misfortune.

"I don't know if anyone is interested in the body." Zhao Jiale sighed and said, "Old Gao's family died a violent death. You should know that the people who died were extremely resentful. Earlier in the year, I heard that some people loved to dig up the corpses of dead people and refine them. This is because these people are the ones who have died a violent death, their grievances and grievances are extremely great, and the bodies they refine are also extremely powerful. "

"Refining a corpse?" I frowned for a moment as if I understood something. Then, I asked Zhao Jiale, "What's the matter with refining corpses?"

Zhao Jiale frowned, "Refining corpses is an unorthodox method. It's nothing more than refining them into something evil to be driven by one's own will." Normally, people who worked in this line of work would lose their lifespan. As far as I know, in this era, there aren't many people who knew how to refine corpses. It's hard to say who stole the bodies of Old Man Gao and his family. "

After hearing what Zhao Jiale had said, I felt that it made sense. A good person would not do such an evil spell like refining corpses. And now that the technology was so advanced, if he were to really refine it into a bronze-headed iron-headed zombie, it would be very difficult for him to achieve anything after a single cannon shot.

I looked at the empty coffin and said to Zhao Jiale, "Uncle Jiale, the bodies of the Gaoyi family have been stolen. Should we call the police? Or perhaps tell the Village Head? "

"Call the police? "No need." Zhao Jiale shook his head. "The death of the three of them was abnormal. If we say that the three of them were lost now, then the whole village would be in chaos."

I thought about it for a moment and then agreed. The Gao family already knew about it in several villages nearby. If the three corpses of their family were to disappear right now, then it would truly be against the will of the heavens. Who knows what sort of rumors would spread around, and at that time, who in the other villages would be willing to marry a girl to our village's boy?

Besides, Zhao Jiale and I came over in the middle of the night to dig up the tombs of the old and righteous, but we couldn't explain it to the villagers.

"Fill back the dirt." Zhao Jiale handed me a cigarette, which I accepted. We began to fill in the dirt bit by bit.

"Who is it!" Suddenly, Zhao Jiale shouted and I was startled. Under the moonlight, we saw a horned shadow not far from us. He was looking at us from behind a grave about ten meters away.

Zhao Jiale's shout not only gave me a fright, but also scared the horned monster hiding behind the grave who peeked at us.

"Halt!" Zhao Jiale shouted and chased after the monster.

"Uncle Jia Le!" Not daring to move, I picked up the flashlight stuck upside down on the grave and was about to follow.

At this moment, my phone suddenly rang. I saw that it was Zhao Jiale calling. I looked at the distance and saw that Zhao Jiale had already gone in pursuit of that thing. I could no longer see him in the dark. I suspiciously pressed Tongjian and Zhao Jiale's voice came out of the phone.

"Feng? Where is it? "Come to my house." Zhao Jiale said over the phone.

I was stunned. "Where's the Gao Family's ancestral grave at the back of the mountain?"

"What!" Zhao Jiale seemed to be even more surprised than I was. "At the back of the mountain? What are you doing there in the middle of the night? "

I was completely stunned. "Didn't you bring me here?"

"When did I bring you here?" Zhao Jiale scolded, "Today, the Village Head has finished all his work. He invited us to have a drink. We've only just finished. I'll call you after drinking."

My heart thumped. If I had just finished drinking before leaving, who was the one who was digging the tomb with me? I was completely flustered.

He recounted how he got a text message from Zhao Jiale, how he had chicken stewed with mushrooms with Zhao Jiale, and how he had dug a grave with Zhao Jiale. He also recounted the incident over the phone.

"What?" On the other end of the phone, Zhao Jiale seemed very surprised to hear my words. Zhao Jiale asked me what day of my birthday was. But I thought about it, the situation now is related to my life, I don't know whether the person who brought me here is a human or a ghost, so I told Zhao Jiale on the phone which day and year I was born.

However, on the other end of the phone, Zhao Jiale seemed very excited when he heard me say, "So that's how it is. Do you know why that person pretended to be me so that I could take you to the Gao Family's ancestor and dig up Gao Clan's righteous grave? "

I said I didn't know. On the other side of the phone, Zhao Jiale seemed to be very angry, "You fool, your birthday belongs to the Yin years and the Yin months. It's an excellent physique for those who practice evil arts to refine corpses. That person brought you here to refine your corpse. Now don't believe the person who brought you to dig the grave of the righteous, only by listening to my instructions can you keep your life. "

I cursed my mother in my heart, thinking that I would be a fool if I believed you. I have long heard that the word 'birth' is not easily leaked out, because it tells others that it is easy to be decapitated, implanted with Gu, cast spells, and so on.

Especially in this kind of situation, I couldn't trust anyone. Just now, when Zhao Jiale asked me for my birthday, I told him a date of the holiday. The year and month were right, but the date was a few days later than my real birthday. Who would have thought that Zhao Jiale would unhesitatingly say that he was born on the yin year, yin and yang day, and that he possessed the exceptional physique of a person who practices evil arts. He was obviously lying to me.
