I once searched online about witchcraft. Corpse raising and poison are considered to be witchcraft, but the focus online was only on these two, with no mention of other types of witchcraft.
After asking grandpa, he finally took out the pipe from his waist and started smoking, telling me about it as he puffed away.
The range of witchcraft is very broad, but there is a kind of witchcraft related to raising ghosts, which cannot be found in China. Only Thailand has it.
As soon as I heard about Thailand, I immediately thought of ladyboys and Thai head-hunting.
However, beyond my knowledge, there are more powerful witchcraft, that is, raising little ghosts.
Because the little ghost has just died and has no human emotions, it can only rely on its master to maintain its life. But Zhao Xiaocui has already grown up, and after becoming a ghost, it is impossible for her to be loyal to her master at all.
And if I entrust the powerful magic to Zhao Xiaocui, but it does not involve her fate, then it is very easy.
Although the nine peach branches carved with scriptures were used by my grandfather to suppress Zhao Xiaocui, in the end, they turned into such a fierce thing.
When I got home, I saw blood flowing from two places on my body. Grandma was so scared that she almost fainted, and Grandpa brought alcohol and other disinfection tools from the room to clean my wounds. Because there was no gauze, I had to use band-aids.
Looking at Du Xiaolan who was busy back and forth, I couldn't help but feel very close to her.
After solving this matter, my tense emotions finally relaxed. I quickly fell asleep on the bed, and woke up in the afternoon the next day. When I walked out of the room, I found that my grandfather was not at home.
When I asked Grandma about my grandfather's whereabouts, she was puzzled and said that she hadn't seen him since this morning.
He was always the kind of person who comes and goes without a trace, and since he is going to work tomorrow, I didn't think much about it. After packing up, as soon as I walked out of the door, I saw my grandfather coming back with a grim expression.
He signaled to me, and I went back to the room. Grandpa closed the door and said to me with a grim expression that the ghost fetus was gone.
I said, what's so surprising about this? Zhao Xiaocui is not dead, and the ghost fetus is her child, so burying the child is a matter of course.
But Grandpa shook his head repeatedly, saying that the nine leg bones placed in the heart of the array had also disappeared without a trace.
As soon as I heard this, I quickly became alert and asked my grandfather what the benefits and harms were. Grandpa frowned and said that the nine hundred-year-old leg bones and the peach branches carved with scriptures have similar effects.
And Zhao Xiaocui knows the witchcraft of refining these things, if she refines the nine leg bones, the consequences would still be unimaginable.
I hurriedly left the room to go to the grave to find Zhao Xiaocui, but my grandfather grabbed me and shook his head, saying that Zhao Xiaocui had disappeared without a trace, and he had no way to find her either.
The more I thought about it, the more worried I became. My grandfather sighed and said that he hoped he was overthinking, perhaps it's not as complicated as he thought.
At this moment, there was no other way, so I followed the plan and got in the car with Du Xiaolan. I asked my grandfather to take care of my grandmother at home, and if anything happened, to call me immediately.
As I left the village, when I arrived at the village gate, I saw many people gathered, all discussing who had dug up their family's ancestral grave, and even cut off the leg bones.
Feeling guilty, I quickly drove away. Du Xiaolan looked puzzled and asked why I was so nervous, but I couldn't tell her that it was because I had dug up someone else's ancestral grave, so I casually made up an excuse and passed it off.
I returned to Xi'an in the afternoon, ate something outside casually, sent Du Xiaolan back home, and then returned to my rental house.
After I finished washing up and lay down on the bed, ready to check the news of these days on my phone, I heard a faint knocking on the door.
I was puzzled who was so clever to know that I had returned today. I threw my phone on the bed, got up and walked to the living room to open the door.
A man in his thirties was standing outside the door, wearing a set of branded sportswear, with a very strong body, and a short hair that exuded vitality.
Before I could speak, the man said, "Are you Mr. Yin? I've tried to find you several times, but no one was at home every time."
I feel a little uncomfortable using the word '您', so I asked with a wry smile, "Is there something you're looking for me for?"
The man nervously rubbed his hands and said, "I heard that you can arrange ghost marriages, so I came to find you."
"Who told you that?" I became alert all of a sudden. You can have a sloppy meal, but you can't speak carelessly. Although I have witnessed several ghost marriages, I have no idea how to arrange them.
Moreover, the only person who knows that I have witnessed a ghost marriage is Du Xiaolan. She has been with me during this time and could not have told anyone.
But then I remembered someone else, that is, Fei Xuemin, whom I witnessed arranging a ghost marriage for a few days ago. The man in front of me was dressed very meticulously, obviously he was an acquaintance of Fei Xuemin, and it's possible that Fei Xuemin told this man.
Just as I was about to mention Fei Xuemin's name, the man laughed and said, "It was a young man who told me."
"The young man in the black short-sleeved shirt?" I felt uneasy and asked hastily.
"Yes," the man nodded and continued, "I asked many people over the past few days, but no one knew. Then one day, while I was eating at a restaurant, this young man came to me and asked if I was looking for someone to arrange a ghost marriage for me, and then he told me your address."
He said it calmly, but it sent chills down my spine.
That young man actually knows where I live. Could he possibly break in and kill me while I'm sleeping?
I shuddered involuntarily. The man asked with a wry smile, "Mr. Yin, is it okay?"
I shook my head, "I'm sorry, I cannot arrange a ghost marriage. I am just a host of a wedding company. Besides, the young man you mentioned is most likely a lunatic, deliberately playing with you and me."
The man awkwardly said, "That young man also told me that you would say the same thing to refuse me."
"What?" I exclaimed, startling the man visibly.
After stabilizing my emotions, I quickly waved my hand, asking him not to be afraid, and gazed into his eyes, asking, "What else did that young man tell you?"
The man thought for a while and then said, "He said, 'You are very eager to find him now...'"
"Anything else?"
"He said he will find you when necessary." The man finished speaking and shrugged, "That's all he said, then he left."
I took a deep breath. This young man knows everything so well, even what I'm going to say next. If I don't take on this matter, it will be difficult to find his trace.
After careful consideration, I finally nodded, "Okay, I'll go with you, but I don't have time today. I'll call you tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, I'll wait for your call tomorrow," the man said and handed me his business card, then turned and walked towards the elevator.
