Chapter 91 Chapter Thirty

How Ebisdemon's head was cut off, how it was skillfully healed by Panurge; the news of the underworld After the great victory, Paiguguet returned to the place where the wine was kept, and summoned Panurges and the others, and they all came safely, except Osten, who was killed in the process of cutting the neck of a giant. Several places were scratched on the face, and Ebisdemon didn't show up at all.Pagnus was so sad that he wanted to commit suicide, and Panuge said: "Don't worry, my lord, please wait a moment, let's search among the dead people first, and see what's going on."

They searched and searched, and sure enough, they found Abisdemon dead there, holding his bloody head with both arms.Osten exclaimed: "Ah! Vicious death! You have taken the best of us!" Hearing this cry, Paguguay rose to his feet, and said to Panurge with a grief that no one had ever seen: "Ah! my friend, your prophecy of the two cups and the butt of the gun is a curse!" But Banuge said: "Children, don't cry. His body is not cold yet. I promise to bring him back to life and make him as strong as ever." As he spoke, he took Abesdemon's head, put it on his crotch, and wrapped it warmly so that it would not be blown by the wind; Osten and Gabalin carried the body to the place where they had just eaten wine. They didn't expect him to be cured, but they just wanted Paiguguai to see him.But Bannuri comforted them by saying:

"If I can't cure him, I'll lose my head (that's a madman's promise); don't you cry, but help me." Then he washed the dead man's neck with good white wine, and then washed his head, and sprinkled it with some powdered poop, which he always carried in his pocket; I don’t know what kind of oil it is. Carefully align it, blood vessels to blood vessels, tendons to tendons, spine to spine, so as not to make him have a crooked neck (because he hates people with crooked necks ②).After it was aligned, I sewed fifteen or sixteen stitches around it to prevent it from falling off again immediately, and then spread a little ointment around it that he called resurrection power.

Abby suddenly became angry, then opened his eyes, then yawned, sneezed, and finally let out another loud fart.Banuji said: "Now it's guaranteed." He poured out a large glass of old vodka, with a piece of sweet bread in it, and drank it down. Ebisdemon was miraculously cured in this way, but his throat was hoarse for more than three weeks, and he had a dry cough. Finally, he drank a lot of alcohol before he recovered. He started to talk, saying that he had seen many ghosts, talked affectionately with Lucifer, and had wine in Hell and Paradise③, and he assured everyone that ghosts are also very kind.Referring to the ghost in Hell, he said that Panurge had annoyed him by calling him back to earth so quickly, saying:
