Chapter 253

Later, the door was changed to face the northeast, because the two black disease talisman came to the door. The house in this direction is not conducive to the house, and it is the same location as the northeast, which is commonly known as "offending the Tai Sui". This kind of house door is more unfavorable .

Things are always reversed, unlucky is the most auspicious, maybe it is with this idea that Yizhuang will change the door, thinking that this kind of orientation that is unlucky for mortals is the best orientation for those dead, is this true or not? No one can tell.

Before approaching Yizhuang, Chu Jiu frowned and stopped. Perhaps because of psychological reasons, Chu Jiu felt that the vicinity of Yizhuang was colder than other places.

But after all, she is a doctor, and she has been used to these things for a long time, so without any hesitation, she walked towards Yizhuang.

When Chujiu walked over, he didn't see anyone guarding him, so he wondered if there wasn't even a personal guard here?

He called a few more words softly, but still no one answered, Chu Jiu pursed his lips lightly, and pushed open the gate of Yizhuang.

The yard is not too big, and it is a bit dilapidated. Perhaps it is afraid of direct sunlight, so a yellowed white cloth was stretched on the wall of the yard, covering the whole yard inside, making people inexplicably depressing.

As soon as Chujiu entered the door, he saw many coffins, neatly arranged, from the courtyard to the open inner hall, and under each coffin, they were supported by two wooden benches. Looking over, It makes people feel uncomfortable.

The most uncomfortable thing is the coffin, because every coffin is filled with white paper money, and the courtyard has a dark wind, and the paper thread on the coffin will fall to the ground lightly, without making a sound ...

"rustle……"

When I entered the door on the ninth day of the ninth day, the soles of the shoes stepped on the dry straw. It was a slight sound, but now it was very clear, and there was an indescribable weirdness in my ears.

"Who is where..." The old voice was so hoarse that it was almost impossible to tell whether it was a human voice or just the wind.

Chu Jiu gasped, stiffened his body, looked around, and finally saw the owner of the voice beside a coffin by the wall.

It was a white-haired old man in sackcloth. At this time, he was lowering his body, silently picking up the paper money falling around him, one by one, and then put the paper money back to the original place. When the wind blows down, he will Bending down.

His back was bent, as if he couldn't straighten up, with his hands behind his back, he looked at Chu Jiu with cloudy eyes.

Chu Jiu heaved a sigh of relief after seeing him. "I called outside the door for a long time, but no one answered, so I rushed in rashly. I hope the old man will not be offended."

In the Southern Tang Dynasty, Laozhang was a respectful title for an old and experienced man. This man guarded the Yizhuang, just like the carpenter, and he was considered a craft.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration for Chu Jiu to call him this way.

The old man looked at Chu Jiu and saw that she didn't look like a villager in her attire, so he asked a little strangely: "You young man, okay, what are you doing here?"

"As you can see, it's for worship." Chu Jiu lifted the white cloth from the bamboo basket in his hand, and let the old man see the ingot candle inside.

She came this time because she wanted to do an autopsy on the grounds of offering sacrifices.

At that time, the incident happened suddenly, and she didn't take a closer look at what kind of weapon the middle-aged man died of, or whether he died of poison.

The middle-aged man's body has been placed for two days, and the Yamen has already filed a case. It doesn't take long for him to be taken back by his real or fake family members, buried or destroyed.

So before that, she must first investigate the cause of the middle-aged man's death, and also find out when the poison was placed on this man.

In other words, whether the poison was intended to kill this middle-aged man, or was it aimed at her at all, the purpose of her trip is to investigate this matter clearly.

The old man asked Chujiu, who was the other party, and Chujiu gave the excuse he had thought up in advance, saying that he had always felt uneasy these two days, and his friends who were traveling with him were inexplicably lethargic. Everyone said that he was bewitched by evil spirits. Only then did she remember the middle-aged man she had met two days ago, and she planned to burn some paper money to this middle-aged man, so that her friends who were traveling with her would recover from their illness and they could continue on their way.

"So that's the case, come with me." The old man nodded after listening to Chu Jiu's explanation, and led Chu Jiu inside without any suspicion.

The old man walked very slowly, his back was almost completely bent, and it looked like there was not much difference from when he was picking up paper money just now.

Chu Jiu followed behind him and frowned slightly when he smelled the rotten smell in the air. The house was closed and the ventilation was poor. Even the windows were sealed by thick wooden boards. There was only one door, and even the overhead skylight was sealed.

In the middle of the entrance, there is a very heavy tripod, in which there are incense sticks of different lengths, covered with dust, it looks like no one has worshiped it for a long time.

The hall was full of coffins, Chu Jiu followed the old man carefully and walked in, until the deepest point, the old man pointed to one place.

"That's all. You worship early and leave early. Living people are not welcome here..."

After the old man said this, he seemed to be smiling. Chu Jiu looked carefully at his face, but he didn't seem to be smiling. This somewhat made Chu Jiu's scalp tingle, and he bent down to take out the incense candle from the basket.

Sometimes the living are really more terrifying than the dead, because people are unpredictable, and no one knows what the person around him will do in the next moment.

The old man bent over and walked back the way he had come, very slowly.

After he left, Chu Jiu looked at Jiuhua, saw Jiuhua nodded, and knew that the old man had really gone far away, so he threw all the paper money left in his hand into the brazier, then stood up and looked at the old man. Looking at the coffin.

The coffin was not crucified, but it was not that easy for Chu Jiu to push the coffin away. She couldn't even find a shovel that could pry the lid off the coffin, so she could only rely on brute force to push it.

"Doctor, it's better not to touch mortal corpses, it will be fatal." Jiuhua reminded Chu Jiu when he saw that Chu Jiu was going to touch it with his hands.

Chu Jiu took a look at him and understood that what he was talking about was the germs of the rotting corpse, which is commonly known as corpse poison.

"I'm very aware of this matter, and I took precautions early on, so don't worry, you can go back to the bottle too, it seems to be hurting you here." Chu Jiu said in a low voice.

When approaching Yizhuang, there was something wrong with the spirits. Chu Jiu thought about it and realized that these spirits were medicinal materials that favor the sun, so they would be uncomfortable with the cold and damp.
