This is the sequelae left after being killed by the ghost claws. The wound is infected by the ghost's qi and becomes corpse poison. Although it has been cremated, the toxins still remain in the ashes. It is most likely to breed and spread in a place like a funeral home where yin is strong and evil is extremely strong. Generally, the yellow talisman cannot solve the problem. The ashes must be washed with glutinous rice water and then dried with talisman fire, and the corpse poison will be removed.
After seeing the situation clearly, I walked out of the funeral home quickly and told Lu Fei the solution. I asked him to buy some glutinous rice and soak it in clean water for an hour before pouring it into the ashes.
Lu Fei immediately drove to buy things, and we stood outside the door waiting.
Zhu Zhongqi had a wide network of contacts, and friends often came to pay their respects, so he was busy greeting the guests. After a while, these people all ran out, covering their noses. I stood aside and saw that there were women among them, most of them wearing high heels, so I stared at their feet.
I have memorized the size of the shoe, and I can tell roughly from the shoes on these women's feet. But the same size of shoes does not mean that the murderer is the one. Although I see the same size of shoes, I dare not conclude that the owner is likely to commit the crime.
By the time Lu Fei bought the sticky rice, it was almost dark. At this time, another woman in high heels came to pay her respects. She started crying as soon as she got off the car. When she arrived at the funeral home, she suddenly grabbed Zhu Zhongqi's clothes and yelled, "How did my sister get hit to death? Why didn't you wait for me to see her for the last time before you cremated her in such a hurry..."
This should be Zhu Zhongqi's wife's younger sister, that is, his sister-in-law. I heard that she married far away in the south, and she hurried here after hearing the bad news today. Then there is no need to look at this pair of high heels. Lu Fei and I shook our heads and let the brother-in-law and sister-in-law make a fuss. We quickly went to deal with the stinking ashes.
First he ran to the tap, took a small plastic basin and put the glutinous rice in it, turned on the tap water, let the water cover the glutinous rice, and then put it on the ground and waited for the soaking time.
One hour, two hours, felt like a very long time in front of the funeral home. But then a farce happened, which made us feel that the time was not too unbearable.
After Zhu Zhongqi's sister-in-law went in, she found that the ashes were smelly. When she opened the box, she found that water had entered. How could she let him off the hook? It was against human ethics to hastily cremate the deceased before his relatives could take a last look at him. And anyone could have guessed that there was something wrong with this.
So the quarrel between the sister-in-law and the brother-in-law turned into a fight at the door of the funeral home. A man wearing glasses who looked quite gentle, who should be the sister-in-law's husband, stepped in to stop the fight. This farce attracted a lot of onlookers. Because the crematorium and funeral home are not the same, and the funeral is not held at the same time, some people wore mourning hats to watch the fun.
In the end, Zhu Zhongqi's clothes were torn in several places. After being persuaded by everyone, he drove away in a panic. The man with glasses and his sister-in-law were left sitting on the ground crying. Her sad cry, heard in the dark night, made people feel extremely sad.
Just at this time, the two-hour soaking time was up, and we carried the sticky rice water into the funeral home. As soon as Zhu Zhongqi left, the people who were keeping vigil all ran outside. It stinks here, it's really not a place for people to stay. Of course Shen Bing didn't come with me, I asked Lu Fei to open the lid of the box, and I poured the sticky rice water into it. Then a strange situation happened, and a layer of black grease floated up immediately, while the light ashes sank to the bottom of the water, and the ashes turned back to black and gray. The situation was so strange that it was shocking.
But I knew this method was right. The black grease that floated up was the corpse poison. Then I asked Lu Fei to hold up the urn. At this time, the corpse poison floated up, and the stench became stronger, making Lu Fei's face turn green.
I quickly made a spell and burned a talisman to drive away evil spirits, and placed it at the bottom of the box. I burned three talismans in a row, and the talisman fire was basically burned out in an instant, but after being soaked in glutinous rice water, the talisman fire became its nemesis. In less than 20 seconds of roasting time, the layer of black grease strangely evaporated and disappeared, leaving only turbid glutinous rice water.
After three more purple talismans burned, the glutinous rice water quickly evaporated. Half a minute later, the ashes returned to their original color. With a slight movement, they squirmed like quicksand, as if they had not been soaked in corpse poison and glutinous rice water at all.
Lu Fei closed the box and put it on the spirit table, and gave me a thumbs up. He had been working on it for a long time in the afternoon, but couldn't come up with a solution. I solved it very thoroughly, and even my buddy admired himself.
The source of the stench disappeared, and the smell in the house gradually drifted outside. Although it still had a bit of a stench, it was not as strong as before and was within the acceptable range. So Lu Fei and I called the vigil to come in. At this time, my sister-in-law was tired of crying, and she walked into the funeral home with the help of her husband.
Just as we were about to wash our hands and leave, we suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing from inside to outside. We couldn't help but turn around curiously, only to see that the eternal lamp on the altar had gone out!
Lu Fei and I looked at each other and thought that this was a bit strange. If it was a returning ghost, firstly, the timing of its return was not right, and secondly, it was impossible for it to blow out its own eternal lamp.
Shen Bing grabbed me and whispered, "The funeral hall is going to be haunted!"
I nodded and winked at Lu Fei. I held eight copper coins in my hand. Lu Fei took out the copper coin sword and put it behind his back, then turned around and returned to the mourning hall.
A clever young man who was guarding the body hurried over and took out a lighter to light the oil lamp. The sister-in-law came over quickly, held the spirit table and cried, "Sister, did you die unjustly? Did you blow out the eternal lamp to hint to me?"
I frowned. The deceased had indeed died an unjust death, and the resentment was very strong. If it was really the ghost of the deceased who came back, your words would undoubtedly add fuel to the fire and stir up the flames of hatred in her heart.
As expected, as soon as he finished speaking, the young man also lit the oil lamp, but the flame suddenly became stronger and burned the young man's hand. After a scream of pain, the young man covered his hand and stepped back. The urn clicked and the lid opened by itself!
The sister-in-law was crying sadly, but now her eyes widened in shock, and the man with glasses turned pale with fear. The two of them supported each other and stepped back. The young people who were sitting on the ground to keep vigil stood up in unison.
"Woo..." Another gust of swift and cold wind blew out from the mourning hall, and the oil lamp on the mourning table went out again.
I thought to myself that if I didn't take action someone might die, so I took out eight copper coins, which spun rapidly to form a copper coin array above the mourning hall.
But the move was too late, and before the spell could be uttered, a cloud of ashes flew out of the urn and flew towards us with the wind. The copper coin array was immediately submerged in it, making a clanging sound as it fell to the ground.
Suddenly, screams broke out and everyone ran out with their heads in their hands. The mourning hall was in chaos!
