Chapter 1412 Taboo
In such a world, the danger of staying outside alone can be imagined. Even if they want to return to this spooky Yin house after nightfall, it may not be so easy.
Time passed by, and everyone's work was coming to an end, but Lu Qin and Shao Tong were still missing. The most important thing was that there was no news.
As the night deepened, the atmosphere in the room became more subtle. Zhang Qi tried to call Lu Qin's mobile phone. The call was connected, but no one answered.
The same was true for Shao Tong's mobile phone.
Something happened... Everyone can be sure of this, but the question now is whether it was Lu Qin and Shao Tong who had an accident, or those who stayed in the Yin house.
Shao Tong and Lu Qin don't seem to be people who will be easily tricked. If you think about it from another perspective, they may have found some key clues and know that something must happen in the Yin house tonight.
Looking around, Jiang Cheng focused his attention on the paper bridge, as well as the nearby paper ingots and candles. If something must happen tonight, it is likely to be in this exorcism ceremony prepared for the fat man.
Jiang Cheng looked at Zhang Qizhen, who was frowning, and Tang Qisheng, who was busy at the side. "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Tang, how are the things needed for tonight prepared?"
Tang Qisheng stood up and wiped the sweat off his cheek with the back of his hand. "Almost done. The paper bridge has been built, the ingot candles are also ready, and the basin is ready in the charity cemetery. Now we just need Miss Li Bai's paper clothes. Oh, and those pairs of boots. We bought them in large sizes. I will ask Brother Fugui to try them together with the paper clothes.
At this time, the fat man had already accepted the reality. He squatted on the ground in a decadent manner, with an expression that was uglier than death. According to what Yao Shunyu had just introduced to him, he would soon wear paper clothes and burial clothes, pretending to be a dead person, and then walk on the paper bridge. Just thinking about that scene made the fat man want to Cry without tears.
Jiang Cheng checked the necessary items one by one, and found no problems. Because they were not sure of the fat man's shoe size, Tang Qisheng and others specially bought several pairs of boots of different sizes. The boots were leather, looked very sturdy, and were covered with a thick layer of white paper.
These things in front of them were all discussed by them in the morning. There was no problem in Jiang Cheng's memory, but Jiang Cheng just felt uneasy. He scanned these things one by one, and always felt that something was wrong.
Until he took out the paper in his arms, the paper recorded the things they needed to exorcise the evil spirits, which were specially left by Jiang Cheng. After comparing the two, he finally found the problem.
Li Bai, who came to his side, opened his eyes wide, and his hair stood up in shock, "How...how could this happen? "
According to the records on the paper, the shoes they need tonight are called "funeral shoes", also known as "old shoes" or "burial shoes". They are usually black cloth shoes, and burial shoes must not be made of fur, and leather soles are even more taboo. Such shoes will break the Naihe Bridge and fall under the bridge, and reincarnate as livestock in the next life.
After seeing the records on the paper, everyone was dumbfounded. Tang Qisheng rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He personally selected the shoes, and as a folklore researcher, how could he make such a mistake? After a moment, Tang Qisheng looked at Jiang Cheng nervously, "This... This is not my intention! I don't mean to harm Brother Wang Fugui, it's my memory... There's something wrong with my memory!"
"It has nothing to do with you. It's not just you. There's something wrong with our memory. "Putting away the paper, Jiang Cheng said with a gloomy face, he has realized the problem.
Tang Qisheng did not lie, someone modified their memory, and it was this false memory that drove them to buy the wrong shoes. He did not react until he saw the words on the white paper clearly.
"It's Lu Qin and Shao Tong!" Zhu Jie gritted his teeth in hatred, "No wonder they dare not come back, they know something will happen tonight!"
Zhang Qizhen stomped his feet heavily at this moment, and an undisguised murderous intent appeared on his face, "Brother Fugui will definitely never come back if he wears such shoes across Yinqiao. Not only that, along this bridge, there may be some ghost things coming out from the other side of the bridge. Lu Qin and Shao Tong are not just going after you guys this time, they want to kill us all!"
"I will kill them next time we meet! "Yao Shunyu looked at those pairs of leather boots, and the anger in his heart had been suppressed to the extreme. The night watchman really had bad intentions.
Now everything is clear. It was Lu Qin and Shao Tong who changed their memories. This ability is terrible. The first time was at the night of the inn, the second time was last night, and today, these two people changed their memories at least three times. The night watchman is definitely well prepared.
As for the purpose, Jiang Cheng has a guess that the other party is willing to spend so much money, it is definitely not just to kill them. There must be a bigger plot behind this, and this plot The conspiracy is likely related to their so-called memory.
The ability to modify memory made him think of Lin Wan'er involuntarily. He conducted a new round of self-examination. Perhaps it was because Lin Wan'er had modified his memory too many times, so he was alert when facing the false memory created by Lu Qin Shaotong for him. He was also the first to realize that there was something wrong with the things he prepared.
But now is not the time to think about these things. How to let the fat man spend this night safely is the top priority. It is obviously too late to buy a pair of mourning shoes now.
"Mr. Zhang, is there any remedy now?"
Hearing this, Mr. Zhang pursed his lips, and his eyes could not help but dim. "The function of mourning shoes is the same as that of paper clothes, which is to cover up the yang energy of the living. Without mourning shoes, how can the living cross the paper bridge safely, let alone send Gao Yanqing's wronged soul to the underworld on the other side of the paper bridge."
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the room fell into stagnation for a while. The fat man looked at the almost desperate eyes of doctors Yao Shunyu and wanted to say a few words of comfort, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know how to say it.
"I have a way, maybe we can try it." After a long silence, Tang Qisheng hesitated and suddenly said: "But I can't guarantee that it will succeed, and Brother Fugui will have to suffer."
"Please speak!"
"The purpose of wearing mourning shoes is to cover up the yang energy of the soles of the feet of the living, and the middle toe of the feet of the living is connected to the yang, and the yang energy is the heaviest, so..." Tang Qisheng paused and looked at Jiang Cheng with a somewhat embarrassed look.
"So as long as we break the middle toes of his two feet, we can temporarily cover up his yang energy and make those things mistakenly think he is a dead person. Is that right?" Jiang Cheng asked.
