Chapter 1339: Soul Nail
With such curiosity, I continued to peek.
The mouse man touched Chen Bo's ear and whispered: "I looked at the position you ordered, dug for the middle of the night, and finally found what you said. But maybe you remembered wrongly. I didn't dig any coffin, but dug a rotten quilt with a woman's body wrapped in it. I pulled down the demon-subduing pestle inserted on her head according to your instructions..."
Uncle Chen, who had originally widened his eyes, suddenly started to sob and cry. He raised his hand with difficulty, as if he wanted to hold the blood-stained demon-stained pestle in his hand.
I couldn't help but frown.
The Demon-Subduing Pestle is a holy object in Buddhism. It is a weapon used by Bodhisattvas when they subdue the Demon King. It is said to have the function of suppressing all ghosts.
But following the mouse man, the demon-subduing pestle in his hand was actually taken from the Heavenly Spirit Cover of the female corpse, which means that the function of this demon-subduing pestle is no longer to subdue demons, but to seal the soul. The masters who know how to do it all call this demon-subduing pestle: Soul-blocking nail!
It is to regard the demon-subduing pestle as a nail, nailed into the dead's heavenly spirit cover. As long as the soul-blocking nail is suppressed, the soul of the corpse will never be reborn. It can only be trapped in the burial place for generations and cannot leave.
What is the relationship between the deceased and Uncle Chen? Why did Uncle Chen hire someone to remove this soul-capturing nail? Who is the soul he wants to release?
With many questions, I held my breath and continued to listen.
Although Uncle Chen tried his best to hold the soul-blocking nail in his hand, the mouse man smiled and moved his hand away, slowly reminding him: "Old man, I have done what you told me. What about the conditions you agreed to at the beginning?"
Uncle Chen was stunned and immediately pointed under him.
The mouse man nodded, reached out and reached out to Uncle Chen. After a while, he took out a small cloth bag wrapped in a handkerchief. The mouse man cleverly untied it, revealing a stack of thick banknotes.
He suddenly laughed and lost his eyes, and didn't care about anything else. He hurriedly stuffed the soul-blocking nail into Uncle Chen's hand, and ordered the money at his own expense.
Uncle Chen held the soul-locking nail and burst into tears.
The mouse man ordered the money and found that the amount was right. He bent down to Uncle Chen with satisfaction and said, "Old man, this transaction is over. If you have anything to do if you need help, come to me. I promise to do it clearly for you."
Uncle Chen seemed to have not heard it, holding the soul-burning nail in a daze.
The mouse man didn't care. He smiled and collected the money, and then jumped out scatteredly. I didn't dare to delay, so I hurriedly chased after him, deliberately lightening his steps. When I rushed behind him, I grabbed his mouth. This time, everything happened in an instant. The mouse man's scream was pressed into my mouth. He struggled for a few times and found that it was useless, so I had to drag it to the corner by me.
I let go of his mouth and looked at him with a cold face.
The mouse man shrank his shoulders in fear: "Good man, please spare me, I don't know which road it is from? Brother, I don't know what happened to you? I'll change it immediately if you say something."
I snorted softly: "Who are you? What are you doing sneakily just now?"
The mouse man looked at me carefully: "You ask me, I want to ask who you are? You are not from the nursing home, are you? Why are you arresting me? I will call the police if you believe it or not."
I couldn't help laughing twice: "Good boy, do you still dare to call the police? OK, you report it! Report it now! I see how you defend yourself when the police come. You are still holding Uncle Chen's money in your pocket."
"He voluntarily gave this money to me because I helped him..." The mouse man closed his mouth cleverly. It was obvious that the transaction between him and Uncle Chen could not be seen.
"Say it, why don't you say it anymore? Why are you doing for him?" I looked at him coldly with my arms in my arms.
The mouse man dodged and took a two-step walk: "Who are you? Why do you have to care about this? I didn't cheat you, and the old man couldn't get out of bed by himself. He entrusted me to help with something, and that money was my hard work."
"Thank you? Is it a hush fee? Is it a corpse? What's going on? What's going on with that corpse? Did you kill it?" I deliberately said it more and more severely, and the rat man shook his head quickly: "No, of course not! How dare I kill people? I don't know the old man and the corpse at all. Even the place where the corpse was buried was told by the old man in person. You can't wrongly accuse a good man."
Good man? You don’t look in the mirror, do you have the face of a good man?
I decided to continue to scare the rat man: "I have been staring at you for a long time. You are not a good person who is sneaking around. What is the thing you gave to Uncle Chen just now? Where did it come from? If you don't explain it clearly, I will send you to the police station."
The mouse man wailed: "I said why are you so meddling in other people's business!" He took out the money that Uncle Chen had just given him from his pocket, counted out dozens of them and handed them to me: "Okay?"
It turns out that I was considered extortion.
I sighed speechlessly, took out my wallet and took out a stack of money and threw it to him without even reading it: "As long as you explain it clearly, these are all yours."
The mouse man's eyes lit up and he looked at me in disbelief: "Really?"
I nodded.
The mouse man hurriedly took the money and started to tell with a smile.
"I actually don't know this old man at all. I am a ignorant person and have no ability. I live by thieves on weekdays! I had been with a local mouse for two years and knew a little about digging graves. Later, the local mouse thought that my hands and feet were not clean, so I didn't need me, so I worked alone. However, because I had no fame and poor skills, I couldn't dig good things at all. Later, I came up with an idea, found a typing club to print many business cards, and sent them whenever I saw people, boasting about my own abilities. However, there were very few people who called and even fewer businesses could do."
"A month ago, I received a call from this old man. He said he wanted to ask me to help find a corpse and bring something back from the corpse. I was so poor that I had no meal at all. Is there any reason why I didn't answer the business? I replied on the phone and secretly came to the nursing home to meet him."
"At that time, the old man had a stroke that was not as serious as it is now. Although he couldn't speak clearly, he could barely communicate. He himself couldn't determine where the body was. He only gave me a few approximate locations and paid a deposit. I had already wanted to leave with the money, but after thinking about it, he decided to take the job."
I snorted, "You guys have a little conscience."
"Of course! The most important thing for people in the world is the word "credit". The mouse man actually boasted to me shamelessly.
I couldn't help rolling my eyes: "Tell me the point!"
The mouse man nodded quickly: "Because the location of the burial corpse cannot be determined, I have worked a lot. I dug it for three days and three nights, and I wanted to give up several times. Until last week, I finally found the corpse he mentioned at the last place the old man said. According to my experience, the corpse has been at least four or five years, and only bones are rotten, wrapped in a broken quilt. The strangest thing is that there is a demon-subduing pestle inserted on her Tianling cover. The old man asked me to take the demon-subduing pestle back and hand it over to him. It was midnight at that time, and I was scared when I dug the corpse. I was so scared that I hurriedly pulled out the demon-subduing pestle and buried it and ran away..."
