The fragments of the clay sculpture can still roughly identify its original appearance through its shape. It seems that its original appearance should be a clay Buddha.
I picked up a piece of clay sculpture in surprise, and found that it was indeed stained with a lot of ghostly aura. This means that there is really a ghost hiding inside the clay sculpture. And my nose also smelled a fishy smell.
"Damn it, there really is a ghost hiding in the clay sculptures and harming people!"
Although I am not sure what kind of ghost it is, I am sure that it should be a ghost that feeds on women's yin essence. This kind of ghost is generally not too powerful. If it is powerful, it will just hide in the clay sculpture and harm people directly.
I used the soul collecting bucket to collect the remaining ghost energy on the clay sculpture. It should be no problem to keep the ghost energy and use it to find the ghost later.
At this time, the bodyguard standing at the door suddenly spoke.
He told me, "Master, Boss Shan and your friends are here!"
"Um!"
I nodded and slowly walked out of the utility room.
Soon I saw Shan Daye and Master Jiang in the bedroom.
To my surprise, the lights in the bedroom were off, and Master Jiang was pouring stinking liquid into a copper lamp on the bedside table.
Hearing the footsteps, Master Jiang slowly turned around.
After taking a look at me, he asked me, "How is it? Did you find any trace of the ghost?"
I shook my head and said, "Not yet, but I collected some remaining ghost energy in the utility room."
Master Jiang said in a deep voice: "The ghost energy should still carry the breath of that ghost. When the time comes, it shouldn't be a problem to find him."
Generally speaking, the auras of ghosts are different from one another. Although they all carry ghostly auras, the auras of ghosts are very different from one another. Just like people recognize others by their faces, ghosts can also be recognized by their auras.
After Master Jiang exchanged a few words with me, he concentrated on pouring the liquid in the porcelain bottle into the copper pot.
I don't know what he is going to do, but I think he is trying to give Yan Huanhuan a chance to live.
Master Jiang quickly finished it and put a piece of wick into the copper lamp.
I didn't ask any questions, but Shan Daye next to me asked solemnly, "Master Jiang, what are you doing?"
Master Jiang saw that Shan Daye and I were both confused, so he pointed at the copper lamp and explained, "I'm lighting the life-extending lamp. With the life-extending lamp, even if this woman is really dead, she can live for two more days."
"Um!"
I understand what Master Jiang means.
I didn't expect that a small copper lamp could prolong my life.
Seeing me looking at the white porcelain bottle in his hand, Master Jiang said to me: "This porcelain bottle contains corpse oil, which is not available in ordinary places. It is accumulated during my years of working in the crematorium. There is only this much. Its function is to lock the soul and prevent it from being affected by the death of the physical body."
"As for the wick, it is made of a cow's tail. Although the cow's tail looks useless, it can emit a bit of a rancid smell when it burns. That smell is what the ghosts hate. This is to prevent her ghost from being taken away by the ghosts after her death."
Then Master Jiang pierced the earlobe of the unconscious Yan Huanhuan and took a few drops of blood.
He said that the earlobe is connected to the heart, and the blood on the earlobe can be connected to the bronze lamp.
I saw Master Jiang take the blood from his earlobe and then drip it into the lamp oil in the small copper lamp.
Then Master Jiang slowly lit the wick with a lighter.
With a crackling sound, the flame shot up. Normally, the flame of a kerosene lamp is yellow, but the flame of this copper lamp was grayish white after it was lit. The flame looked very strong.
A little later, a slightly smelly smell spread in the bedroom.
The smell makes me feel sick.
Shan Daye even covered his mouth and nose, his Adam's apple trembling, as if he was about to vomit.
"Okay, it's done, the life-extending lamp is ready!"
Master Jiang rubbed his hands and smiled at me.
His smile was a little strained, probably because he didn't smile often.
I hurriedly thanked him, "Master Jiang, thank you for troubling me this time. You even came here in person for this matter."
Master Jiang shook his head and said, "It's okay. The crematorium hasn't been very busy these past two days. I'm just responsible for driving the car, so I'll take a break if it's not busy. Besides, the crematorium has also recruited some people recently."
I was chatting with Master Jiang.
Shan Daye on the other side asked Master Jiang worriedly, "Master Jiang, is your method really feasible? Can a copper lamp temporarily save my wife's life? Why does it sound so mysterious to me!"
It is understandable that we distrust good causes.
However, Master Jiang said unhappily: "How much can an ordinary person like you understand about our Taoist affairs? I came to help you because of Brother Tianyi's face. Otherwise, do you think I would care about this matter!?"
After saying that, Master Jiang walked up to Shan Daye and stretched out his hand.
He said rudely, "I just set up the life-extending lamp for your wife, but it took a lot of effort. I won't talk about the effort, but the corpse oil is not easy to get. I'll give you a cheaper price, 10,000 yuan per drop of corpse oil. I used a lot of corpse oil just now, so just give me 500,000 yuan!"
Shan Daye stood there in surprise. He didn't expect Master Jiang to ask for money right away.
I stood aside with a smile.
I know that Master Jiang suffers from the lack of money among the five disadvantages and three deficiencies, so he cannot keep money, and as far as I know, he doesn't care much about money.
However, Shan Daye's doubts about Master Jiang's skills made Master Jiang very unhappy, so Master Jiang asked Shan Daye for 500,000 yuan.
But 500,000 yuan is really just a drop in the bucket for a good cause.
Seeing Shan Daye hesitate, I stood by and fanned the flames, saying, "Boss Shan, you are a rich man and we are poor, so you should not be short of money. Besides, we are saving your wife now, and Master Jiang and I will go together to find black beard fruit for your wife later. Don't you care about your wife's life for such a small amount of money?!"
Good deeds are great
He took out a pen and a check reluctantly, and in front of Master Jiang and me, he wrote Master Jiang a check for 500,000 yuan.
After taking the check, Master Jiang put it in his pocket without even looking at it.
He said in a deep voice: "I have accepted the check. Don't worry, we will do our best to help you find the black beard fruit and rescue your wife. As for the 500,000 yuan just now, I will not keep it for myself. I will donate it to the orphanage."
Donate to an orphanage
Shan Daye glanced at Master Jiang coldly, it seemed that he still didn't believe what Master Jiang said.
I didn't care about Shan Daye's reaction, but went to Yan Huanhuan's bed.
I felt Yan Huanhuan's pulse.
I found that Yan Huanhuan had no vital signs at this time. In other words, Yan Huanhuan was already dead.
However, Yan Huanhuan's face had turned a little red from the previous paleness. This was not a last burst of light, but the life-extending lamp had taken effect.
Master Jiang looked at the time and said to me, "Brother Tianyi, it's getting late, let's go. The life-extending lamp can only last for two days. If it exceeds this time, this woman will be finished!"
"Okay! Let's go now!"
Then I told Shan Daye, "Boss Shan, after we leave, don't let anyone else into this room, and don't open the windows or anything like that, lest you extinguish the life-extending lamp. If the life-extending lamp goes out, your wife's life and soul may not be saved."
"I know, I know! ... "
Shan Daye’s head nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
After that, Master Jiang and I left Shan Daye's house. Shan Daye wanted to follow us, but Master Jiang said to him, "The place we are going to is very remote, and the person we are going to meet is also a very strange person. It is said that the person eats human flesh. Do you still plan to go?"
Originally Shan Daye still had some persistence, but when he heard these words, and knew that the place he was going to was remote and the person he was going to meet was a weirdo, he felt a little scared.
He shook his head and said, "No, no, I'll just stay at home and take care of my wife. Masters, you must come back soon."
Let me and ginger
What the master didn't expect was that Shan Daye actually had his luxury Bentley driven out and the keys were handed to Master Jiang.
Master Jiang took the key and got into the car without saying anything.
I followed him into the car.
Soon the Bentley drove out of the villa area.
Master Jiang used to drive a hearse, but he suddenly changed to a luxurious Bentley, which made him very happy. He used to be a serious person, but now he could smile a little in the car.
In the car, Master Jiang played music. I, a 90s kid, don't really like the music he listened to.
“I stand in the fierce wind/I wish I could get rid of the endless pain in my heart/I look up at the sky/The clouds are moving in all directions/I hold the sword in my hand/I ask who is the hero in the world/I stand in the fierce wind/I wish I could get rid of the endless pain in my heart…”
The song was Tu Honggang's "Farewell My Concubine".
Master Jiang and I were talking while listening to Tu Honggang's heroic voice.
Master Jiang asked me, "Brother Tianyi, did you figure out what kind of ghost that was?"
I shook my head and said, "I haven't figured it out yet. But I don't think that ghost is a very powerful one."
Afterwards, I told Master Jiang everything I knew about the clay Buddha.
He said, "Yes, it's not a very powerful ghost. However, I have met many ghosts over the years, but I have never seen a ghost that likes to suck the vitality of women... ... Let's put it this way, when we come back from Zhang Quezi, whether we get the Wuxu fruit or not, we will go and meet that ghost!"
"Great! With your help, Master Jiang, I'm even more confident. You're my senior, and your skills are much higher than mine. If we work together, it won't be a problem to get rid of that ghost."
But Master Jiang curled his lips, glared at me, and said jokingly: "I didn't realize that after not seeing you for a few days, you have become better at flattering people!"
I was a little embarrassed and just laughed.
But what I was curious about was what was so strange about the corpse raiser Zhang Quezi? Master Jiang didn't tell me about this. He just told me that I would know when I got there.
