According to the old lady, Xiaofang opened the box and let her take a look that night. Just one look almost scared her to death. Inside were pieces of nails, all of which were green and gave off a chilling feeling. They were obviously not human nails. The old lady had been superstitious since she was a child. She heard that there was an evil man who specialized in pulling out ghosts' fingernails and used them to harm people, so she guessed that these were ghost nails.
I have heard this kind of story, but most of the stories I heard are true, while most of the stories she heard are probably made up. I heard that if you pull out the ghost nails and replace the nails on a person's hand, the person will have a ghost hand that can kill people without being seen, which is quite powerful.
Lu Fei and I looked at each other. There were so many ghost nails in the box, and they were hidden under the base of the statue. What was the purpose of this? Could it be that the nails belonged to some evil spirit? Such evil spirits, even if they were destroyed, would be too fierce and leave behind some items of their bodies, such as nails, after their souls were scattered, which would still harm people.
Without seeing the golden box, it is useless to speculate. This is the only conclusion we can draw. The fact that the ghost nail killed Xiaofang was not enough to make her resentful. The key point was that when the old lady secretly sent food to her, Xiaofang said that she was pregnant and that she had seen the wrong man. This meant that when she was criticized, the man abandoned her, and she died while pregnant. This was the source of her resentment.
The resentment and the contact with the ghost's nails made her become ordinary. After her death, she was pierced through the heart by a flying eaves. Under the pain, a ghost corpse was created, just like the evil spirit that caused the old ghost woman!
This resentment is not easy to resolve. If you can't find the man who made him pregnant, it's useless to say anything. And after so many years, the man may have a great-grandson like Xiu'er. Who would admit that he had slept with a female educated youth? If Xiaofang hadn't died, this man would definitely be proud of it and show off. Now it's probably too late to hide.
After the old lady finished speaking, the joy she had when she entered the house disappeared, and she was very sad. Wei Qing quickly sent her back. We also stood up to say goodbye, but Zhao Tinghua refused to leave. I had helped them find their child before, and I didn't charge them a penny. Later, I paid for them to go to the provincial capital for a day. She felt bad and insisted that we have a meal before leaving.
She stuffed Xiao Chengcheng into Shen Bing's arms and ran out to buy food. Since she was so enthusiastic, we had to eat with her. I held Xiaowu, Shen Bing held Xiao Chengcheng, and Lu Fei and Wang Zijun joked that the way we held children looked exactly like each other, as if they saw what we would be like when we were thirty years old.
Shen Bing wrinkled her nose and said, "I seem to see that the two of us are holding the children of Lu Fei and Yun Xi, Zi Jun and Qu Mo."
Ma Yunxi and Qu Mo blushed at the same time. After all, the relationship between the four of them has not been made clear yet. Besides, the relationship between Qu Mo and Wang Zijun is still like fog, rain and wind, which always gives people a feeling that it is not the case. Lu Fei and Wang Zijun did not object and laughed.
I angrily shoved Xiao Wu to Lu Fei and said, "Help me hold it for a while."
But Shen Bing immediately put little Chengcheng into my arms. The child looked at me with his black eyes rolling. He was so cute. I also felt that I had a connection with this child and liked him from the bottom of my heart. The little guy suddenly stretched out his hand towards the door, as if he was bored staying in the house and wanted to go out for a walk.
It was already noon and it was too hot outside. I shook my head and said to him, "Let's not go out. We'll be exposed to the sun."
The little guy actually shook his head and kept leaning out, his mouth was flat, and I realized that he wanted to find his mother. So I carried him out, and the little guy leaned out all the way to the west, and his mouth was flat if I didn't go there. To be honest, I have a lot of bad ideas for dealing with adults, but I really have no idea how to deal with children.
I could only hold him and walk along the shade of the wall, heading west out of the village. Further west was the cemetery, but the little guy still refused to stop. I couldn't help but feel a little moved. What was going on? Was he looking for his Meibao? But that wasn't right. Meibao was buried in the provincial capital. He must have memories and wouldn't come here to look for it. Besides, he was too young.
Out of curiosity, I let him go forward and really entered the cemetery. After winding around several graves, we finally arrived in front of a grave covered with green grass. Xiao Chengcheng stopped moving and looked at me and giggled. I looked down at the grave and unexpectedly found a big pit collapsed next to the grave, which seemed to have been washed away by the recent heavy rain.
Looking further into the pit, I saw a corner of the coffin. How could the coffin be buried so shallowly? The coffin had already collapsed, and it was obvious that this grave was quite old. The corner of the coffin collapsed for some reason, revealing something that looked like a book. I turned around and saw that there was no one around. I squatted down, held the child tightly with my left hand, stretched out my right hand to grab the thing, and pulled it out.
It was indeed a book. It had not rotted after so many years, but it was damp and full of mold, and it gave off an unpleasant smell.
There are a few traditional Chinese characters written on the cover: The Great and Infinite Art of Shanyuan Gong.
As soon as I saw Wuliang, I knew it was related to Taoism, so I uncovered the book and read on. Damn it, it was the secret book of this sorcerer’s evil magic!
Various kinds of evil magic are listed in the preface, such as the Five Ghosts Moving, Liu Ling'er's Magic, the Apricot Corpse Magic, the Boiled Black Beans Hidden Family Magic, etc.
It turns out that there is a magician buried in this tomb, but it is not surprising. Since there is Lao Huai in Xiping Village, there must be other magicians. Maybe this person came first and was Lao Huai's master. I glared at Xiao Chengcheng kindly. Why did you bring me here to find magicians' things? This thing is despised by the righteous way. It will dirty my hands.
Just as I was about to throw him into the grave, little Chengcheng suddenly stuck out his tongue at me and made a face, which scared me. You know, only grown-up children can make such a face. If he was so young, he would have thought he had seen a ghost if he didn't know the inside story!
He deliberately wanted me to discover this book. I lowered my head and looked at the book, thinking to myself, buddy, don't boast about how noble you are. Didn't I restore Liu Lingnu, use the family method of boiling black beans to hide, and blow off Su Yao's clothes? I'd better take it back and study it. This is called knowing yourself and the enemy, and you will never win a hundred battles.
Khan, is undefeated in every battle!
As I walked back, I couldn't wait to open the book to look for the evil magic of ghost nails, but I didn't find any such magic after searching the whole book. I was wondering, could it be that ghost nails are not evil magic of sorcerers, but a magic of the righteous way
No way, why is there no record of it in the ancient books of Maoshan
My dad once said that ghost nails are a form of witchcraft, but this book covers everything about witchcraft, so why is it that ghost nails are not included
