Chapter 654 The Theory of the First Seven
Who would spend such a high price to poison Old Ding and Old Feng to death?
Almost immediately, Wang Zhu thought of Blue Toad.
According to what I learned from Mr. Ding and Mr. Feng, Lan Toad is extremely vindictive, and he must take revenge. Moreover, his power is huge and intertwined, and he has this ability. The cost of harming a person is far beyond the scope of ordinary people's thinking.
It is very likely that Blue Toad has already set his sights on this villa.
Keep an eye on this villa!
Wang Zhu's body trembled, and he thought of a possibility, that is, Lan Toad probably arranged for people to watch outside.
"Do you want revenge?" Wang Zhu stared at Ding Zhihui, whose face was covered in tears, with a murderous look on his face.
"Think!" Ding Zhizhi nodded without hesitation, a spark of hatred shot out from those originally kind eyes, as if to burn everything.
"If my guess is correct, the person who set the trap should be observing the villa. From the current point of view, they don't know that Mr. Ding and Mr. Feng have passed away. Then, we can pretend to lure them to try, Then, we captured a living victim, tortured him, and asked who was behind the scenes."
"Uh-huh."
Although Ding Zhihui was a smart person, the accidental death of Mr. Ding left her in a state of turmoil and confusion, so she naturally obeyed Wang Zhu's advice.
"Remember, we have to pretend to be a normal life, understand?" Wang Zhu looked deeply at Ding Zhihui, his gaze was as deep as the vast starry sky.
"Understood... I... Can you really resurrect my father?"
"I don't know, I can only try my best, and it will take at least seven days."
"First seven?" Ding Zhihui's eyes lit up.
"Yes, the first seven, the first seven is when the soul re-condenses. As long as we protect the bodies of your father and Feng Lao during this period, after seven days, it is possible for his soul to return to the body."
In Chinese folk, there is a custom of "the first seven". However, it is generally believed that the soul of the deceased will return home on the "first seven". The method is to sleep, and if you can't sleep, you have to hide in bed; if the soul of the deceased sees his family, it will make him miss him, which will affect his reincarnation as a human being. It is also said that after death, the soul will wander around with the "first seven",
When returning home at midnight on the "first seven" day, family members should burn a ladder-shaped object at home, so that the soul can follow this "ladder" to the sky.
In addition to the "first seven", there are also "two sevens", "three sevens", "fourth sevens", "fifth sevens", "six sevens" and "last sevens", for a total of 49 days. According to folklore, people have three souls and seven souls, one soul will be removed a year after death, one soul will be removed in seven days, and the soul will be exhausted in three years, and seven full souls will be exhausted, so there will be "seven periods" and the third anniversary. There is another folk saying. It is said that within 49 days from the date of death, Hades will interrogate the dead soul every seven days, so the "seven periods" are also called "passing seven disasters".
In the eyes of practitioners, although these folk customs are unreliable, they are not aimless.
The so-called seven seven forty-nine days are actually three souls and seven souls gathered together and not separated. During this time, they will be separated and reunited, and this separation and reunion is based on seven days as a stage. At this stage, if you don't fall into the six realms of reincarnation, you will either become a lonely ghost, or your soul will be scattered.
Usually, if an ordinary person does not enter the six realms of reincarnation, it is basically the result of the soul flying away and never being reborn. Therefore, the living relatives will guide the soul into the six realms of reincarnation through the form of sacrifice.
Guidance is actually a way for monks and Taoists to lead into the six realms of reincarnation by condensing the spiritual power generated by the grief of the relatives of the deceased. The complicated procedure of seven, seven, forty-nine days is just a way to use various rituals to make relatives remember and produce a stronger spirit. Power, how profound is the mana of a non-taoist priest.
It is precisely because of the above reasons that some ordinary families have four people, and they can extradite the souls of the dead if they invite any monk or priest.
However, for some ghosts and wild ghosts or ghosts like the white-haired female demon, monks and Taoists with real magic power are required to save them, because lonely ghosts are all without descendants, which completely depends on monks Only the magic power of Taoist priests can make them enter the six realms of reincarnation. As for Li Gui, because he has powerful power, he is unwilling to be reincarnated and erase his memory because of grievances. Naturally, he needs powerful mana to subdue him...
...
"What should we do now?" Ding Zhihui, who has no master, is now completely dependent on Wang Zhu's decision.
"You don't need to worry about their bodies. Later, I will use spiritual energy to protect their bodies from corruption. If possible, I can let their blood flow bit by bit and become vegetative. When the soul returns at seven, I am sure to revive them." Wang Zhu's face was full of confidence.
"What about Auntie?"
"We can only save together."
There was a wry smile on the corner of Wang Zhu's mouth. At this moment, he didn't care about trouble. If the nanny didn't come back to life, it would be difficult to deal with just this corpse. After all, she is the nanny of the Ding family. If she disappeared out of thin air, it would cause a lot of trouble. Necessary trouble, moreover, after reviving Ding Lao and Feng Lao, with their heart of hanging the pot to help the world, they will be guilty for life if they harm the nanny.
In order to avoid a series of accidents in the future, Wang Zhu has decided that as long as they can be resurrected, they must be resurrected together.
Next, Wang Chu asked Ding Zhihui to go upstairs to pretend that everything was normal, so that she would not be sad when she saw Ding Lao's body.
At this time, revenge became Ding Zhizhi's biggest motivation.
After Ding Zhihui left the secret room, Wang Chu began to forcibly infuse spiritual energy into the three corpses to keep their bodies from decaying.
To Wang Zhu's relief, because the three died only a few hours ago, their bodies hadn't completely stiffened, and their body cells hadn't completely died. With his efforts, the already stiff corpses became soft and warmed up.
According to the current situation, in the first three days, Wang Chou had to use spiritual energy to maintain the "vitality" of the corpse every half an hour. In fact, the so-called vitality of the corpse now is to keep the human cells from being completely dead. Entering, recovering the heartbeat, the blood can flow immediately, thus achieving real resurrection.
Whether it is a mortal or a cultivator, the physical body is extremely important.
Needless to say, mortals spend huge sums of money to maintain their health, but the importance of the physical body can be seen from the fact that they cannot become immortals after the dissolution of the Sanxian soldiers.
Whether it is a prisoner or a cultivator, if he loses his body, he becomes duckweed.
In fact, whether the physical body is important or not can be seen from Sanxian Xiaoqian. She lost the courage to live because she was dismissed as a Sanxian, and finally chose to commit suicide. The importance of the physical body can be seen.
After "maintaining" the three corpses, Wang Zhu carefully inspected the underground alchemy chamber.
There are a lot of pill bottles on the shelf, and I checked a few bottles, and there are many top-notch pills among them. Obviously, only since he shared some pill recipes with Mr. Ding and Mr. Feng last time, their alchemy skills have improved. One floor, a great breakthrough has been made.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of their breakthrough in alchemy that they have reached a certain bottleneck, and they need to use the furnace to break through and reach a higher level.
Finally, Wang Zhu set his sights on the bronze furnace.
Intuition told Wang Zhu that this cauldron was by no means a fake, but a genuine ancient alchemy cauldron.
However, what puzzled Wang Zhu was that the herbal medicine in the furnace was not highly poisonous, and even Wang Zhu found a prescription from the desk of the furnace, which showed that there was no problem .
In fact, in the entire underground alchemy room, there is no highly poisonous substance, and there is no elixir that kills people invisible.
Both Ding Lao and Feng Lao are traditional pharmacists, and they both have a heart of hanging pots to help the world, which is different from the vicious blue toad. People seek profit by means of human means, so when facing the blue toad, they were completely on the passive defensive. This time they were poisoned and killed, which seemed a bit accidental, but in fact it was inevitable. After all, there is no one who can guard against thieves for a thousand days.
It seems that the problem still lies in the furnace.
Wang Zhu carefully observed the bronze stove, but except for some simple patterns and some meaningless seal scripts, he basically found nothing else.
Have a chance to ask Qin Fu.
The Qin family is a figure in the Great Qin era, not only in a high position and well-informed, but also a peerless master, maybe we can see some clues...
...
When Wang Zhu went upstairs, Ding Zhihui had regained his composure, and began to follow Wang Zhu's instructions, pretending to clean the room and dump the garbage, but his eyes were extremely red and swollen.
On the first floor, Wang Zhu checked and found that the cold food on the dining table was neatly arranged. It seems that the guess is correct. The nanny prepared the food and asked Mr. Ding and Mr. Feng to eat. Poisoned to death, of course, it may also be because she saw the blood on the ground, or Ding Lao Feng told her to leave quickly, but because she was an ordinary person and the poisonous gas was strong, even though she left immediately, she was still poisoned to death At the head of the stairs.
"Didididi..."
Ding Lao's phone number on the coffee table rang.
"It's an unfamiliar number, can you answer it?" Ding Zhizhi looked at the phone number.
"You adjust your emotions first, and don't let your voice show your feet." Wang Zhu thought for a while, and he felt that it was not a good thing for an unfamiliar number to appear suddenly at this moment.
"Hmm." Ding Zhizhi took a deep breath and pressed the answer button: "Hello, hello...Package? I didn't buy anything online...Mr. Ding, um, it's my dad...oh...okay Okay, I'll go ask my dad, wait a minute, he's upstairs."
Ding Zhihui covered the phone, and said to Wang Zhu, "It's the courier, who said it was bought by my dad."
"Does your dad buy anything online?"
"I didn't buy it before, but after Feng Bo lived here, he would often buy something online, using my father's name and number."
"If it is someone arranged by the enemy to test, then the account number of Ding Lao's online shopping may be leaked. If he refuses to accept it, it may arouse suspicion and let him send it over." Wang Zhu made a decision after a little thought.
"Yeah." Ding Zhizhi let go of his hand and said, "I asked just now, and he didn't remember if he bought anything, so you can send it over to have a look."
