"I don't believe it, I don't look at it!" Accountant Liu shook his head vigorously, but Ye Shaoyang forced him to the side of the gossip mirror, and couldn't help but take a look, and then his expression froze.
Ye Shaoyang saw that it was almost done, and let go of the hand that was choking his neck. As expected, Accountant Liu didn't resist anymore, but shook his head and muttered to himself repeatedly: "No, my mother is not dead, no..."
"I can still prove it to you." Ye Shaoyang asked Xie Yuqing to watch him, turned around and walked towards the old woman. Just as he arrived in front of her, Accountant Liu's dull voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Mr. Ye..."
Ye Shaoyang looked back, Accountant Liu looked at him with moist eyes. "I don't want to prove it, but can... make her less painful."
Ye Shaoyang's heart moved, he nodded, walked up to the old woman locked in the eight-character copper coin array, drew a condensing talisman, and stuck it on the old woman's face.
After chanting the mantra once, the purple light of the magic talisman flickered. The old woman who was still struggling completely stopped. She could see two streams of breath, one red and one black, flowing continuously from her body surface and quickly converging into the magic talisman. The old woman withered His body rotted rapidly, and the flesh fell off piece by piece, turning into a puddle of pus, which seeped into the ground.
In the end, nothing remained but a human skeleton.
"She has been dead for a long time, because she turned into a demon corpse, so her body has not rotted, but the rotten air has been in her body, once the corpse and evil spirits are taken away, she will immediately become what she should be." To make accountant Liu not suspect that he was the troublemaker, Ye Shaoyang patiently explained it to him.
Accountant Liu leaned against the wall, slid down softly, sat on the ground, and murmured, "Thank you."
Ye Shaoyang came to Xie Yuqing's side and asked her to lower her head to check the place where the back of her head was hit. There was a big bump, but it was not hurt. Ye Shaoyang pressed it up with his palm, rubbed it a few times, and was pushed away by Xie Yuqing, blushing and said: "What are you doing! Girls can't touch their heads randomly."
Ye Shaoyang was speechless, thinking that I didn't think you were a girl at all, afraid of being beaten if I spoke out, so I held back.
"I... actually suspected it a long time ago." Accountant Liu sat on the ground and said with tears, "I just didn't think about verifying it. I thought she would get better one day."
Ye Shaoyang and Xie Yuqing glanced at each other and sighed secretly.
Accountant Liu cried for a while, wiped away his tears, raised his head and asked Ye Shaoyang: "You are a Taoist, right? Since you can find this place, you must know why my mother became what she is today. Please, tell me the truth."
Ye Shaoyang knelt down in front of him and said: "It is impossible for a person to become a demon corpse for no reason, so something unusual must have happened to the old man. I need you to tell me first before I can help you analyze the reason."
After hearing this, Accountant Liu fell into memory, suddenly frowned, and said tremblingly, "It's that mouse, it must be that mouse."
Ye Shaoyang was stunned, and urged, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"It was more than a year ago. My mother was not in good health during that time. I took her to the hospital for an examination. Esophageal cancer was found. It was already at an advanced stage. The doctor said that she only had a few months to live, and there was no need for treatment. Yes, I thought about it, she was too old, and chemotherapy or surgery would be too much trouble, so I didn't tell her, thinking about letting her spend a few months in peace, and sending her away...
There are not many people in our neighborhood, but we all know each other well. I didn't tell anyone because I was afraid that the matter would reach her ears, so no one knew about it. Her health got worse, and she couldn't even get out of bed, and she left soon after. It was midnight, so I didn't notify anyone, and planned to hold the funeral the next day.
I sat on her bedside all night. When the sky was about to dawn, I was confused for a while, and then I heard a 'squeak' sound. I opened my eyes and saw a special big mouse sitting on my mother's bed. He looked down at my mother and squeaked at her. It was bigger than a cat, with green fur all over its body, two fangs that were long and yellow, and its eyes were blood red... "
Speaking of this, a trace of fear flashed in Accountant Liu's eyes. Xie Yuqing imagined that appearance, and couldn't help shivering.
Accountant Liu took a deep breath, and then continued: "At that time, I felt that it was desecrating my mother's body, and I was very angry. I wanted to find something to beat it, but it seemed to see through my thoughts, turned its head, and used it very fiercely. It looked at me for a while, and I stared at its red eyes, and I couldn't move immediately.
It sat on my mother's bedside for a while, then stuck its head into her mouth and ate her tongue... After a while, it jumped out of the bed, squeezed through the window grille, and after a while It took me half an hour before I regained consciousness. I didn't know what this incident meant, so I wanted to bury my mother quickly and put her in the ground for peace. But before I could leave the door, I heard my mother coughing on the bed, and then slowly sit up slowly...
I thought of cheating on the corpse at the time, but my mother looked at me for a while, got up and walked to the yard. At that time, my family raised chickens. She caught a chicken, plucked it, ate it, and drank the chicken blood... and then went back to Lying down and sitting in the bedroom, I was already frightened and stupid at the time, and I didn’t know what to do, but after a long time, she was fine, so I slowly accepted it... "
When Xie Yuqing heard this, the boss with a long mouth asked in a daze: "You... don't you have any doubts, have you never thought about finding a mage?"
"I knew at the time that my mother was different from before, but she is my mother after all. I am very happy that she survived. Besides, she loves to drink blood and eat raw meat. She is no different from ordinary people, but I stopped talking, didn’t go out, and sat on the bed every day. I still fantasized about whether she had Alzheimer’s disease and would recover one day... I never thought about finding a mage, and I didn’t dare to think about it, because I was afraid of knowing the terrible truth , this is also a kind of self-deception."
Accountant Liu wiped away his tears, looked at Ye Shaoyang, and said with a sad smile: "Today, you tell me the truth, and then let me see... I suddenly realized that whether her soul is on her body or not, it is actually a kind of torture for her. I should go to the underworld, so I thank you for freeing me and my mother... "
After hearing his story, Ye Shaoyang was moved by his filial piety, patted him on the shoulder, and comforted him: "The moment your mother died, her soul had already gone to the underworld, she was liberated, and you have fulfilled your responsibility, so... you If you go back and bury her body, it will be considered filial piety, so don't think too much about it."
Accountant Liu nodded gratefully.
Ye Shaoyang walked over, took off the condensing talisman attached to the forehead of the corpse, winked at Xie Yuqing, said goodbye to accountant Liu, walked out of the room silently, unlatched the gate of the yard, walked out, and walked out of the alley silently. go.
"That mouse..." Xie Yuqing whispered.
