Chapter 12 Chapter 12 Ghost Dao
With a sound of "boom", flames shot out everywhere, and it was unknown what material the Seven Star Sword in Zha Wenbin's hand was made of, but it forcibly split a crack in the pig iron.The sword retracted like a crack, splitting into two parts with a loud bang, and then the tomb door behind him appeared again, and the vague shadow of a man rose faintly from the coffin and floated in front of Zha Wenbin.
There is no sound because he has no head!Only two slumped shoulders are still hanging around the neck. Needless to say, this is the owner of the tomb, the assassin who has been imprisoned here for thousands of years.
"Woooo..." No one could tell whether he was crying or laughing, because without his head, it was as if the sound could only come out of the trachea. A girl in white was kneeling beside him.Ghosts don't cry, she can only make crying movements, and after thousands of years of separation, the two finally meet again.
Looking at the two ghosts, Zha Wenbin was already staggering at the moment. The slash just now had consumed too much energy, and he was recovering from a serious illness with injuries, so he couldn't stand such a toss.Chaozi supported him and asked, "Are you still opening the coffin?"
Cha Wenbin shook his head: "No, we won't be here soon. Now that the evil formation has been broken, let's go out quickly. The mercury content here has exceeded expectations. Leave the rest to the Archaeological Institute, here The situation, you will report to them when the time comes, let's go."
Four people and one dog were about to dig out of the big hole again, but they heard the girl shout: "Brother benefactor, please stay."
Turning around, the man and woman were bowing three times and kowtowing nine times to them. For an ancient man, this was already the treatment of the emperor.
"Let's go, let's go on the road too. After I go up, I will send you off for a while, so don't miss this world any more. Reincarnation of life and death, each has its destiny, and in the next life, I will be a good official!" Cha Wenbin said. He flipped out without looking back, leaving only the pair of dead souls still hugging and looking at each other.
After returning to the ground, the sky was about to brighten. Chaozi advised Cha Wenbin to go back to rest immediately. They covered the entrance of the cave, but he stopped him: "I still have a lot to do."
What's up?Open the forum!There is still wine and meat left, and incense and candles are all available. This job is done very quickly, but Cha Wenbin keeps coughing. Chaozi tried to stop him several times but hesitated. The master couldn't stop it.
Fifteen minutes later, the ceremony was over, and it was regarded as the completion of the salvation for the owner of the tomb.At this time, Cha Wenbin's face became paler, and he couldn't even straighten his waist.He walked to the side of the small coffin, touched the coffin lid and said, "Girl, it's my father who is sorry for you. He didn't take good care of you when he was alive. Your father is still a Taoist priest who sees acupuncture points every day." In the end, you picked your acupoint in such a place. Don’t blame father for being cruel, and let you be exposed in this barren mountain. Don’t worry, father will find you a good place to sleep."
Not far from this land, there is a pine and cypress sticking out crookedly from the crevice of the stone. Under the pine and cypress, there is a flat land that seems to have been tidied up. This land was found by Cha Wenbin for himself later, and Fengshui is also his own. watch.Although it is not a good acupuncture point, it can also make people sleep soundly.
Originally, a good and auspicious day was chosen for the burial, but today is considered "obscure auspiciousness", that is, everything written in the imperial calendar is suitable. Cha Wenbin originally thought that this grave and the fate of the gods are not incompatible. This person, if If you randomly find a day to dig a hole, you will be in trouble. There is an old saying in China that "break ground on the head of Tai Sui".
This Tai Sui originally refers to Jupiter in the astrology. The ancients called Jupiter the Sui Xing, so it is also called "Tai Sui".They believe that Tai Sui is a vicious evil spirit, the "unity of all gods", so the place where Tai Sui passes is a fierce place, which is considered unlucky.
There is also a saying called "life commits Tai Sui", which refers to one's own birth year.This is because the Chinese people's calendar of the year is also called Tai Sui. In the year of birth, you have to wear red underwear and red socks. Red is festive and used to offset those possible bad luck.Some socks have villains painted on them, which means to step on the villains to prevent being bullied.
It was a good day, even though she was still a child, but after all, it was moving the grave, and Cha Wenbin followed the rules.Chao Zi, Zhuo Xiong, and Heng Rou Mian are definitely tough enough to count, otherwise they would have been planted on Qifeng Mountain long ago. These three are suitable for this job.
Cha Wenbin ordered Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong to be the "Eight Immortals", that is, the coffin bearers. Ours is also called a lift. The fire on the shoulders must be strong enough, and the fire on the head can be used as a torch.I also ordered the horizontal meat face to do "punching holes", which is to be responsible for digging holes later.
What about himself?First, I took out a portrait, and there was a ferocious figure drawn on it, which was the image of "Tai Sui". After observing the astrology, I determined the location, hung the portrait on a wooden stick, and respectfully placed it. Put on a joss stick.First worship the Earth Immortal, which is the land god here, and then worship Tai Sui. After worshiping, turn the face of the portrait towards the back of the selected tomb, avoiding the direction of Tai Sui, otherwise it will be "breaking ground on Tai Sui's head", and the mourning family will suffered disaster.
According to the rules, brown ropes are used to carry the coffin, but now they can only be replaced by climbing ropes.The two tied a knot, tied the coffin and wore it with wooden sticks. The coffin was originally small, but now it has no weight at all.Cha Wenbin walked in front, holding the evil spirit bell, shaking it every three steps, and then throwing out a handful of paper money.This paper money is to buy road money. First, it is to reward those lonely souls and wild ghosts, so that they don’t get in the way, and they will accept it when they see it. Second, it is to honor those mountain gods and land gods. You have to settle both black and white. , Otherwise, from now on, we will not be allowed to wear small shoes for the dead.
After tossing all the way to the land, Cha Wenbin asked them to put down the coffin, light a long burning lamp, told the general direction and direction of the tomb, and drew an outline with a stick.The fleshy face started to work with a big hoe, and this job was indeed suitable for him.
You can’t dig it directly. It also depends on the order. First, nail a piece of wood at each end, and then Cha Wenbin will dig three times under the wood. This means that your relatives picked this tomb for you, not just casually. Fool you, and then continue to use his ability as an excavator with a sloppy face.For him, this was a piece of cake. In less than five minutes, a grave that Cha Wenbin needed was completed.
Ordinary people, the next burial will be like this, as long as the feng shui is selected well, it can condense anger, and it can still make future generations suffer from evil.
Then Zha Wenbin took out the grains made of whole grains from his pocket, hoarded them in the tomb, spread a thin layer on them, and covered the grains with a small pancake, and then gave the ever-burning lamp to the grave. After putting it in, the two "Eight Immortals" - Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong - were called to carry the coffin in.
After being carried in, the wooden stick was removed, and with tears in his eyes, Cha Wenbin grabbed the loess on the ground and scattered it on the coffin. The white-haired man sent the black-haired man with a heavy heart, and he had to take care of the law. It was hard enough for him.The few of them, including the fleshy face, felt that this man's life was really miserable, so they all sighed.
The elders cannot kneel down to the younger generation, otherwise the rules will be broken, and the life expectancy will be shortened. Cha Wenbin can only bend over, and it is really distressing to watch. Waiting for the coffin to be covered with a thin layer of soil, this is called "" "Add soil" must be released by relatives, which represents farewell.After placing the soil, put a bowl on top of the coffin, one is for her to eat, and the other is to move gently when moving the grave, so as not to disturb the dead and bring misfortune. This is called "clothes and rice bowl", and then close your eyes Shouted: "Into the ground!"
Chaozi, Zhuo Xiong, and Hengroulian waved their hoes respectively, and a new grave was piled up in a blink of an eye. The incense candles were lit again, and the incense was inserted. The three of them stood a little further away, leaving Cha Wenbin and her behind. What I said in the previous paragraph probably meant to rest in peace.
After finishing all this, Cha Wenbin with red eyes dragged his exhausted body back to the old tomb, filled in the old grave of his daughter, and then asked the three of them to seal the hole and burn the portrait of Tai Sui. Staggered down the mountain.
After returning home, a few people finished washing, this is to wash away the bad luck, he had a dream that night, dreamed that the girl in floral clothes greeted him with a smile, bouncing around, he wanted to hug, but she hid.From then on, Zha Wenbin couldn't afford to get sick until a few days later, Mr. He brought another person, Old Wang, to arrive...
They received a report from Chaozi that there were ancient tombs of the Han Dynasty here, and they organized a team to carry out the excavation work. Of course, the damage done by Zha Wenbin and the others was also regarded as a rescue excavation and was written off.
The arrival of the archaeological team made the village lively. The village head vacated his spare room to build a guest house, counting the money every day and laughing.Especially when he heard that Cha Wenbin had another identity, he couldn't help but sincerely admire his judgment at the time, and came over every few days to have a look.
There is actually another thing about Lao Wang's visit this time, which is about the sun wheel.With the help of modern technology, they discovered that the construction of this object was far more than three thousand years old, and even pushed back to the age of mythology. In addition to bronze, it seemed to have another special material, which made them even more unbelievable. It is the solid part in the middle of the sun wheel that actually has signs of life.
Another historical research work is also going on at the same time. According to the data, there should be the last wave of people from the ancient Shu Kingdom and their deadly enemies, the Di people.The last wave of remnants of the age of myth persisted in the depths of the mountain for more than three thousand years, and was finally destroyed.The last bronze tree I saw, according to the research of the organization, was most likely Fusang.But it is just a replica, with the energy to bring people back to life, but it can't penetrate the sky and pass through the three realms like the records in the history books.
Lao Wang came this time just to find out if Cha Wenbin still remembered what happened after they left.
Zha Wenbin was lying on the hospital bed, and the doctors who saw him were all experts from the province. These people were naturally invited by Lao Wang through his organization.The problem wasn't too big, so I prescribed medicine and told me to take a week's rest to recover.
But for Lao Wang, Chao Zi still didn't like to see him very much, but Lao Wang started to be interested in Zhuo Xiong.But that guy is also a muscle, completely unwilling to cooperate.
Cha Wenbin himself couldn't explain why he lay in that coffin, why he saw the person who looked exactly like him, and why his memory was erased in the end. As for these things, they couldn't explain them either.
But Lao Wang said that there is probably another hibiscus tree in this world, and it is the real one. They already have a preliminary direction, and they came here this time to invite Zha Wenbin to come out of the mountain again.
Without waiting for Zha Wenbin to think about it, Chaozi rejected it for him: "It's too unreliable to work with you, an old fox, and you may sell us again." But the old Wang was not upset, and every day After eating, he went to inspect the excavation site, and then went back to Wenbin's home to continue lobbying. He also brought out the bronze wheel and returned it to Zha Wenbin.
In the words of Lao Wang, this thing is probably the original product, and only by relying on it can we find the real one, which is the key that White Beard keeps talking about.
The continuous rainy days made Cha Wenbin very unhappy. During the period, Director Jin visited several times, but Chaozi blocked the door on the grounds of poor health.The excavation of that ancient tomb was led by Mr. He himself this time, because the superiors attached great importance to such well-preserved Han tombs and decided to ask him to come out of the mountain again.
On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, every family had a Lantern Festival, and Cha Wenbin's hut was quite lively, but the children were gone, and the brothers were almost drunk.After tonight, they plan to go to Director Jin's place to have a look tomorrow. This matter is also very strange. Although Director Jin is greedy for money, he is not guilty of death.
That night, Cha Wenbin, who drank a little too much, said something: "When I help Director Jin to settle this matter, I will seal the mountain and work hard for half my life, but in the end I have no future. I feel sorry for my ancestors, what kind of Taoist are you doing!"
He planned to pack up his luggage afterwards and move to the provincial capital to live. Firstly, he can provide the child with the best medical conditions, and secondly, his little brothers are all there, so they can take care of each other.With his ability, even if someone does fortune-telling and Feng Shui, it's not a problem to make a living, not to mention that there is still a place for the archaeological team.
That night, Lao Wang also drank too much. He promised not to force Wen Bin to leave the mountain, and planned to return to Beijing in the near future to find another expert.People say that a smile can wipe away grievances, this man, a glass of wine may solve it, and Cha Wenbin took advantage of the situation to make a personal relationship, and solved the knot between Chaozi and Lao Wang.
Zha Wenbin's turbulent life may have come to an end here.Work at sunrise, rest at sunset, take your son with you, and spend this life in peace, but sometimes life is brought out from the mother's womb, the more you feel that the matter is over, the more you feel Endless.
Early the next morning, Pharaoh came over to bid farewell.Several people exchanged pleasantries and agreed that they would have the opportunity to visit the capital in the future.Afterwards, Pharaoh took a special car back to the provincial capital.Director Jin's Santana has been waiting at the door for a long time. Today is the appointed day, and he also rushed over early in the morning. His eyes are still red, and he dare not sleep well at night.
Zha Wenbin put all the things he needed into the trunk, and the five rushed to the crematorium.
The gate of the crematorium has been closed since the accident, and there is not even a janitor on duty. Everyone around a hundred miles knows that the place is haunted and haunted, and no one dares to come no matter how high the salary is.Since ancient times, only fools would do the business of earning money but not spending money!
Once this house is unoccupied, it will lose some popularity and look dilapidated, not to mention that it is a crematorium.Looking in through the crack of the gate, there is an indescribable oppressive smell.In such a ghostly place, no matter how sunny the day is, it can't make people feel clear.Influenced by mourning and crying for a long time, it seems that even this gate smells of death.
Curator Jin took out the key, opened the door, and was about to lift his foot in but retracted.Cha Wenbin saw his thoughts, and went in on his own, Chaozi smiled and scolded: "You bastard, you are afraid of being a bird in broad daylight, with my brother Wenbin here, even if I am the King of Hades, I will come to you Being a guest here can also make him move immediately today."
Curator Jin is not a coward, he is afraid. Although the past few days have been pasted with the talisman, it is true that the Spring Festival has been safely and peacefully at home, but when he closes his eyes and sleeps, it is the nameless corpse and all kinds of things here. Can you sleep soundly?If it wasn't for the money, he wouldn't want to come here again unless he died and was sent here.
Curator Jin asked if he wanted to go and see the corpse first, but Cha Wenbin smiled and said no, it was just a dead person, and he was nothing more than an evil ghost, so he should go and see the sycamore forest first.
The Luofeng Slope was originally designed by him, and the problem also started from there.Under the leadership of Curator Jin, they walked through the path and saw a wall. Curator Jin explained that it was specially fenced in case the phoenix would fly out.
A small iron door was opened, and several people walked in.This looks good, even Zha Wenbin himself thinks this is really weird.The sycamore trees in this garden are all bought at high prices, and they are all quite old.Why did this sycamore tree, which was still full of branches and leaves a month ago, look so spiritless now, everyone seemed to be dying, and they couldn't survive just looking at it.
Curator Jin was so anxious that he was about to cry, just saying that the phoenix trees in this garden had cost him all his money, how did he become such a virtuous person in less than half a year, and begged Cha Wenbin to save him on the spot.
Whenever trees die in patches, there are several reasons: pests and diseases, climate, and feng shui has been passive.
After careful observation, no signs of pests and diseases were found. The climate this year is not much different from usual, and the surrounding trees are alive and well. Cha Wenbin judged that the feng shui here may have been disturbed.Because everything in Director Jin's crematorium started from here, without this Luofeng slope, his place would only accumulate more and more evil spirits, and eventually become a paradise for ghosts, and some accidents would inevitably occur.
He had seen the feng shui here before, but now he took a compass and set it up, and calculated that there was nothing wrong with it, how did it become such a virtue?
After inspecting it, Cha Wenbin found a rock and sat down and asked, "Has anyone here been arguing about the construction site recently?"
Curator Jin thought about it, and it really didn't matter. Whoever runs a factory or builds a house is unwilling to be linked to the vicinity of the crematorium. Isn't that making him feel uncomfortable?
The two were talking like that, Chaozi was bored, so he just wandered around in it. To be honest, aside from the crematorium, this garden is quite suitable for a walk.
"Hey, curator Jin, how can such a small sycamore tree like yours hold the phoenix, no wonder there is an accident." Chaozi walked, and found a very small, inconspicuous tree stuck in the corner of the wall, He joked casually.
"Small tree? No, when I bought it, I picked out big trees according to Mr. Cha's instructions. There are a total of 108 trees. Brother He, don't talk nonsense." Director Jin was talking to Cha Wen When Bin spoke, he knew that Chaozi was joking again.
Chaozi said disapprovingly: "If you buy so many at once, they will trick you into a small one. You know a ball, so come and see for yourself if you don't believe me."
After hearing this, Cha Wenbin felt strange, so he went to Chaozi's side with Curator Jin, and sure enough, there was a small tree growing in the corner, which was not as tall as his face.With just one glance, Cha Wenbin shouted: "Damn, you've been tricked, this is a locust tree!"
Curator Jin was surprised and said: "Acacia tree? How can I have a pagoda tree here? Mr. Cha, I followed your instructions and bought all the plane trees."
Cha Wenbin looked at the sapling, which was less than a person's height, and said, "Since ancient times, no mulberries have been planted in front of the door, and no locust tree has been planted behind the house. The locust tree is an excellent carrier for attracting dirty things. This Luofengpo is just behind Facing your office, do you see if this locust tree is just aiming at your window?"
When Cha Wenbin said this, curator Jin really found out that this was the case. Why did a locust tree fall here?Is it a coincidence?
Cha Wenbin kicked the soil under his feet, and said: "Look again, the soil around this tree is obviously newer than other places, which means that this tree has just been planted, and the time is only where you started. When something happened. Director Jin, have you offended someone recently?"
This made Curator Jin very anxious. After thinking about it for a while, he didn't think he offended anyone.Besides, I am in the business of dead people, and I don't have much face-to-face with the outside world on weekdays, and I haven't had any particularly serious conflicts with any family members, so I said: "Mr. Cha, I really don't seem to have offended anyone. , is this tree causing trouble? If so, wouldn’t it be good to pull it out?”
"It's useless, this is just an introduction. Someone must be trying to harm you, but unexpectedly they made those two ghosts. The locust tree destroyed the Feng Shui that was originally designed here. In my opinion, those chickens are probably also the actions of that person. The purpose is to create chaos. Your place is full of evil spirits, without Luofengpo, it is tantamount to a ghost town." Cha Wenbin gestured to the fleshy face again, and said, "Brother, you are strong enough to uproot this locust tree, and then Carry it with me."
The fleshy face spat into each of his hands, then pinched the trunk of the tree, and with just one mention, the tree was uprooted.Curator Jin sighed in his heart: What a god-man.
Carrying the locust tree on his shoulders, Cha Wenbin followed Cha Wenbin to a small gate of the funeral parlor, which was where the hearse arrived, and the corpses were usually transported into the funeral parlor from here.Chao Zi and the others followed behind.Curator Jin was still confused, and asked, "Do you think someone deliberately punished me because they thought my business was good?"
Cha Wenbin smiled: "I don't think so, but isn't your crematorium the only one in our county?"
Curator Jin pulled Cha Wenbin to the side, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Cha, you don't know that ever since it was rumored that my place is haunted, people with a radius of hundreds of miles have been dragged to neighboring counties when they have funerals. The business has doubled in no time. I heard that the price is almost set at the floor, even if you only sell urns, you will make a fortune."
Zha Wenbin said: "I don't care about this. If you suspect it, I'm afraid you'll have to ask the Public Security Bureau to investigate for you. Go get some gasoline first, and then close the gate."
Curator Jin did as he did, took the oil barrel to the car, put a barrel of oil out, and handed it to Cha Wenbin. "Chaozi, order this tree, and then we will leave first. Curator Jin, you'd better take your family to the county town to find a hotel to stay first, and go to my house tomorrow morning to wait for my news. Also, leave the key for me." Cha Wenbin ordered.
Chaozi poured gasoline on the locust tree, struck a match and threw it over, and the locust tree immediately ignited, with black smoke billowing high.
At this time, Director Jin was tremblingly taking out the key and an envelope, and was about to pass it to Zha Wenbin. He said flatteringly: "Mr. Zha, please take these. If you have anything to do, please tell me. It must be done."
Cha Wenbin glared at him and said, "Hold your envelope, or I'll turn around and leave!" Curator Jin also knew Cha Wenbin's temper, but he still blushed and stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do it is good.At the critical moment, Chaozi had to come to rescue him. He took the red envelope with a smile, and put it into Curator Jin's pocket, saying: "If you want to take it, take it away. After finishing the work tomorrow, I will naturally come to pick it up." of."
Curator Jin had no choice but to take the envelope and go back to the car first.Chaozi asked: "Brother Wen Bin, you don't charge for anything you do. To put it bluntly, this old boy is a black-hearted businessman who makes money from the dead. It's only natural that we charge some money."
Cha Wenbin patted him on the shoulder and said, "Chaozi, brother Zhuo Xiong, and big brothers, in our line of business, if you talk about everything with money, you will lose your life even more. Those who are offended on weekdays There are too many gods and ghosts, and sometimes you can only do things to accumulate more yin virtues. But life has to live, so my master explained before he died that not all money can be taken."
When the locust tree was almost burnt out, Zha Wenbin took out some talisman papers from his pocket, and pasted a talisman on the door for transporting corpses, the door for receiving ashes, and the door for entering the office. , and then took a few brothers out of the gate.Curator Jin drove them to the county seat in a small car, and the banquet had already been booked.Director Jin was naturally generous with Cha Wenbin, entertaining him with good wine and meat, but after seeing how much their brothers could drink, Director Jin gave up the idea of toasting.
After dinner, according to Zha Wenbin's instructions, Curator Jin opened two rooms in the guest house upstairs, and Zha Wenbin and the others went up to rest first.Director Jin had to rush home to pick up his wife and children, and it was already dinner time when he met Cha Wenbin and the others again.
After dinner, Zha Wenbin asked Curator Jin for the floor plan of the crematorium.Looking at this thing, the two scouts, Chaozi and Zhuoxiong, are the best at it. They only took a few glances and took note of all the locations.The three most important locations are: dressing room, incineration room and morgue.
Curator Jin deliberately removed the keys of the three doors and asked Cha Wenbin to keep them, leaving the car keys to Chaozi.Cha Wenbin told Director Jin not to go out at night, so as not to have any accidents, just sleep in the hotel honestly.
At about ten o'clock in the evening, Cha Wenbin gave an order, and he, Chaozi, Zhuo Xiong, and Hengroulian drove towards the funeral home.Zha Wenbin didn't say anything along the way. For some reason, he always felt panicked and indescribably depressed tonight.When he was on the road, he was still thinking about going back early the next morning to pack up and go to the provincial capital.
The car drove straight into the courtyard.Cha Wenbin specially wore a Taoist robe that night, and he still looked immortal, which also added a sense of security to this oppressive night.
Cha Wenbin held the Seven Star Sword and the big seal, and gave each of Chaozi, Zhuo Xiong, and Hengroulian a talisman for self-defense.Then, they entered the office building together.This place is scary when you come in during the day, let alone in the middle of the night.
Cha Wenbin opened the compass in his hand and saw that there were "friends" floating around. Fortunately, no one could cause trouble. It seems that within this month, all the lonely ghosts with a radius of hundreds of miles Came here to make a home.
As soon as you enter the gate, there is a hall. The end of the passage on the left of the hall is the incineration room, the end of the passage on the right on the second floor is the mortuary, and the dressing room is in the basement.These three places are not so easy to stay in, Chaozi felt the hairs all over his body stand on end as soon as he entered the door, but he was a person who had seen the world anyway, so he still asked calmly: "Brother Wenbin, where should we go first? "
Cha Wenbin pointed to the stairs and said, "Go to the dressing room first. If you feel something is shooting you from behind, don't look back. As long as you don't look back, you'll be fine."
Then, Cha Wenbin led the way in front, with the fleshy face in the back, Chao Zi and Zhuo Xiong in the middle, and they walked all the way to the dressing room.Those "friends" only felt that there was a mighty righteousness coming from far away, fierce and powerful, so they all hid far away.
Chaozi asked Zha Wenbin if he wanted to turn on the light, but Zha Wenbin said no, he would have to do it in the dark.
There was a "creak", probably because no one came in for a while, and the door was a little rusty.The four high-brightness tactical spotlights were borrowed from He Lao's team. The professional equipment worked just fine, and the walls turned pale when the lights entered.
There is a single bed in the quiet dressing room, and there are messy bottles and jars scattered around, which must be some cosmetics.It can be seen that after the accident, no one came in to clean up.
Zha Wenbin took out a small incense burner, put it in the northeast corner of the room, plugged in a stick of incense, thought for a while before lighting it and said: "Chaozi, Zhuo Xiong, you two go to the door and guard, if there is any movement, immediately Knock on the door. Remember, I’m talking about people, not those floating friends, those good friends don’t need to answer, big brother, you stay in this room with me.”
Naturally, Chaozi didn't know what kind of medicine he was selling in his gourd, so he pulled Zhuo Xiong behind closed the door and went out.These two buddies lit their cigarettes, stood outside the empty door, and even wanted to make a joke or two, how could they look timid?
The fleshy face was arranged to stand in the southwest corner. After burning incense, all the lights were turned off under Cha Wenbin's order.In the blink of an eye, a talisman ignited in the air, and Cha Wenbin picked up the fireball and drew a circle on the bed, and began to recite the incantation.Although countless dead bodies had been parked here, the only one who died here was Lao Zhou, a makeup artist, and he was naturally the only one left here.
With the acceleration of the spell, the incense suddenly lit up, and then in a certain corner, even the fleshy face saw a swaying figure squatting on the ground, this is the soul that Cha Wenbin wanted to recruit.
The biggest difference between souls and ghosts is: souls have entered the book of life and death and can be reincarnated, while ghosts are mostly forced to stay here for various reasons.The way of appearance is also different. The soul needs to be summoned, and the more powerful ones can only be attached to the body, but after a long time, it will still be diluted by the person's yang energy.For example, some people will feel weak all over for a certain period of time without any special treatment, and then recover after a period of time, then it is probably a trick.On some occasions, a ghost will appear with its own will, and even transform into an entity to murder other people's lives, and it can take away your soul and complete the book of life and death for it.
With the soul, Zha Wenbin also couldn't talk directly, and he was out of his senses, so he left a fleshy face to be a guardian, because his yang energy was strong enough, and ordinary little ghosts didn't dare to get close.All that was left for him was the time for a stick of incense. After sitting on the ground, he opened his eyes again, and an old man with a rather delicate appearance was in front of him. Maybe his children were too unfilial. The clothes are still old, the old man is smelling the fragrance...
When the lights in the room suddenly turned on again, the fleshy face subconsciously covered his eyes, Cha Wenbin patted his shoulder and smiled: "Let's go, thank you for your hard work."
Opening the door, Zhuo Xiong was the only one standing at the door, Cha Wenbin hurriedly asked, "Where's Chaozi?"
Zhuo Xiong was also impatient: "Brother Wenbin, what's the matter with you? Just now we had to knock on the door and there was no response from the inside. You let us watch here and let us know if there is any situation. After about five minutes, we The two of them saw a figure passing by outside the door. Although the footsteps were very light, they couldn't escape our ears. Chaozi was afraid of being tricked, so he chased him out first, leaving me here to watch."
Cha Wenbin was shocked and said: "You guys knocked on the door? Big brother, did you hear that?"
The fleshy face looked blankly, and spread his hands. Although Cha Wenbin needs to be quiet when performing the method, he will not die so much that he can't even hear the knock on the door. As long as he hears it, the result will only be to return to reality immediately. , is there something that can make two people on high alert not hear the sound?
After a while, there were footsteps and cursing at the door. It should be that Chaozi came back.Seeing that Zha Wenbin had come out, Chao Zi said, "Brother Wenbin, there are indeed visitors."
"Caught it?"
Chaozi spread his hands: "Run away, faster than a rabbit. How is it inside?"
"It's a little more complicated than I imagined." As he spoke, Cha Wenbin took out a talisman and stuck it on the door, "Now it's time to go to the burning room."
The incineration room is the place where cremation is carried out. Everyone, whether powerful or ordinary, has to come and lie down in this box after they die.They are divided into three, six, and nine classes in life, and they are treated equally after death. This place is generally not a place where there is not much violence.Because no matter who you are, you want to walk cleanly and decently, and you won't easily offend people here. The person who burns the stove is also accumulating virtue.
At that time, electric heating wires were not used, but diesel fuel was used for combustion. A corpse was placed in a square box the size of a coffin. Push it in, and after pressing the switch, the fuel injector on it began to inject fuel downward.The difference of the high-pressure furnace is that a large amount of air is compressed in to increase the combustion rate and burn faster.According to Director Jin, the furnace was investigated because the booster device exploded, which killed the worker.
Open the heavy door, this place is also the most mysterious place of all funeral parlors, the inside is already a mess, steel sheets are scattered everywhere, and there are mottled bloodstains that have dried up on the ground.
Chaozi fiddled with the thick steel plate on the ground, and weighed it: "Look at the force of the explosion. It has exploded to such a thickness. How could the body be intact? This is too bizarre."
"He died unexpectedly, just like that makeup artist Lao Zhou. If he doesn't save himself, he will inevitably become a ghost in the future. This room is indeed not clean. Fortunately, he was also a person of good deeds when he was alive. You all stay and help. I'll give you a ride." After Cha Wenbin finished speaking, he began to play with things.
"Leave them all?" Chaozi said, "Then don't worry about that person outside?"
Zha Wenbin smiled and said: "We are in the open, he is in the dark, besides, he has been discovered once, this time he should not show up easily again, and those who dare to come here in the middle of the night probably still have some skills in their hands of. We continue to do ours.”
Because these people died unwillingly, after passing away with grief and indignation, they will continue to repeat the pain and fear of the time of violent death. Over time, this pain will become the driving force for harming others. That's what we call obsession.If it is light, it will become a lonely ghost, and in the end it will inevitably fall into the abyss of hell and suffer endless punishment. If it is serious, it will become a demon that only kills people's lives.Rather than saying that its nature is bad, it is better to say that its thinking has been replaced by pain, which requires finding a place to release it. This person died not long ago, so Zha Wenbin still focuses on speed.
After the simple fruit table was set up and the incense candles were just lit, a gust of wind suddenly blew up in the originally sealed room, and the flames on the candles were blown loudly, faintly showing signs of being extinguished .
With a movement of Zha Wenbin's body, several talisman papers in his hand were thrown out in the air, a plum blossom stepped on, the sword was broken in the void, and the four talisman papers were instantly ignited. On the contrary, if you refuse, what else do you think you can do if you stay in this world?"
After all, the new ghost was still a new ghost, and Cha Wenbin, who had come back from the pile of dead people in Qifeng Mountain, couldn't bear it, and the wind died down immediately.The four brothers here, if you want to talk about fighting, the other three can suppress ordinary dirty things with their murderous intent alone, let alone Cha Wenbin.
Looking at a direction in the northeast corner, Zha Wenbin waved his hand and threw out a handful of glutinous rice with a "pop" sound. Then, a small flag with ghost patterns was thrown out and stood upright in the corner , this is considered to determine its position.
查文斌拿出辟邪铃，单手结印，随着铃声一响，口中念道：“巍巍道德尊功德已圆成，降身来接引；师宝自提携慈悲洒法水，用已洗沉迷；永度三清岸，常辞五浊泥！太上老君，急急如律令！”
那面小旗“轰”的一下燃起，发出阵阵恶臭，惹得众人紧紧地捂住鼻子。待那小旗子燃尽，查文斌又细细地扫了地上的灰烬，用块红布头包好，装进了乾坤袋里。
超子问道：“这就完了？”
查文斌笑道：“你以为拍电影呢？废了它初生的心魔，这不过是个普通的魂魄罢了，回去找个地方给埋了，就可以了。”
这道门也被他留了一道符，然后就剩下最后那一站了。出发前查文斌深吸了一口气，时间已接近十二点了，不知怎么，前面出乎意料的顺利总让他觉得今晚有事发生，特别是那敲门声，为何自己没有听见？
“噔噔”的一串脚步声在二楼的回廊里响起，四个人小心地朝着太平间走去……
太平间就是停放尸体的地方，殡仪馆每年都会新进好多无名无主的尸体，这些尸体的案子一时半会儿破不了，就会先拉到这儿存放着。还有一种就是因为案件还在审理程序中，需要验尸等过程，比如车祸的调解纠纷、刑事案件的凶杀等等。
总之，留在这儿的尸体都是有着这样那样的故事，之所以取名为太平间，也是想让他们死后能够平静、安宁，别闹事。在古代，也可以叫作义庄，只是现在有了冷冻技术，可以保持尸体不腐烂。
这种地方多半是鬼故事取材的最好源泉，各地无论是医院还是殡仪馆，出现不合适的“朋友”出来打扰众人的例子也是数不胜数。自从没了义庄之后，这儿就是人世间最为阴森的地方，没有之一。
对于死者，中国自古都讲究个入土为安。而及早把死者下葬，就是对死者的最大尊敬，死者在九泉之下就可以安息了。如果不能把死者及早安葬，对死者未免残忍，对生者也是一种折磨。
但是留在这儿的人因为种种原因不能下葬，怨气难免会越积越多，时间久了就会互相影响，是最容易出厉鬼的地方。而这个太平间的位置，一般搁在平时没有人去的西边角落里，同时这个方位也是住宅里最为差劲的位置。
厚重的钢制铁门被缓缓拉开之后，一股冷气扑面而来，这里长年保持低温，四个人几乎是不约而同地打了个寒战。
超子揉了揉鼻子说道：“这地方真他娘的有些邪门，明早金馆长要是不拿一沓厚厚的钞票来，我就把他的办公室给掀了。”
别说超子，连查文斌都觉得汗毛有些竖立起来，墙壁上只有一个开关，在这儿他不敢托大，“啪”的一声，白光亮起，整个屋子透出一种强烈的惨白，直冲人的心灵深处。
精神上的恐惧往往要大于脏东西的现身，未知的世界总是充满刺激的挑战静静地等待你的来临。一排排的冷库按照顺序排列，方形的格子布满了视线，这就是存放尸体的冷库了。
按照金馆长给的编号，他们顺利地找到了那具无名尸所在的位置：在最西边的小角落里。
“真是一群不会干事的人在这儿乱搞，这种尸体还敢放在这个位置。”查文斌看着这儿的布局有些不满，嘴里咧咧道。以前的查文斌话是不怎么多的，超子和卓雄私下也讨论过，自从出了青城山，他话就变得多了起来，或许是要逃避些什么吧。
超子拿出兜里那把十字形钥匙，准备打开那格子，却被查文斌按住了手：“别急着动，先退到门口的位置再说。”
等大伙儿退到门口后，查文斌从兜里掏出一根红绳来，上面挂着小铃铛，这套东西他在四川就用过，无论是人是鬼经过都会触发细线使得铃铛发出报警声。据说这线不是普通的线，而是夹杂着西域的牦牛尾巴上的那点儿毛纺织而成。
退出门外之后，这条线被超子和卓雄以“之”字形从楼梯口一直延伸到了太平间，除非那人是长了翅膀，不然肯定得中招。想起之前他们在外头吃的亏，查文斌决定这次一个人进去，他们三个全部留在门外。
拿了钥匙之后，查文斌把那道大门死死地关住了，偌大的空间里只剩下他一个活人，连喘气声都听得分外清楚。要说怕，他是不会怕的，自从跟了师父，在坟堆里面过夜的事就没少发生，道士嘛，天生就是跟这些东西打交道的。
不过这一回，他也没打算托大，手里那点儿家伙事全都亮了出来，其中最让他有底气的是除了老朋友七星剑和大印之外，还有那六枚从蕲封山里带回的灭魂钉，这东西回到家里后他仔细研究过，单是那奥妙无穷的符文就够他受用半辈子的了，道家精髓与上古巫术的完美结合让查文斌也自创出了几种法门，今天就是抱着收不了你，也得毁了你的心态来的。
这藏尸格子不比棺材有棱有角，它完全是镶嵌进去的，所以什么捆尸索之类的，完全就用不着了。而且今儿个，他也没打算跟对方客气。造孽的恶鬼，查文斌没那么好心肠，硬碰硬地来，你还能比那修了上千年的黄金面具更厉害？
穿布鞋有几个好处：声音轻，不臭脚还走得正！查文斌一身浩然正气，七星剑凌厉出鞘，直奔那角落而去，你若不现身，就直接钉了你！
“咔嚓”一声，钥匙已经被拧开，柜子下方有一个拉环，查文斌正眼看着，左手猛地一下拉开，“哗啦”一声，柜子便弹开了，右手的七星剑已举在空中。
“空的！”查文斌不敢相信地看着眼前空空如也的柜子，他知道金馆长无论如何也不敢跟他开这个玩笑，他更不会记错，殡仪馆关于尸体的储存有着严格的手续，每一具尸体都对应着自己的编号和柜子。
查文斌的右耳一抖，听见门外响起了微弱的铃声，一拍大腿喊道：“不好，中计了！”更让他纠结的是与此同时，四周陷入了一片黑暗，电源被切断了！
好在身上还带着射灯，不过查文斌没打算打开，而是悄悄地猫着腰向门的位置摸去，门口站着的是自己的三个兄弟，个个都身强力壮、训练有素，一般人根本近不了身，此时他更加担心的反倒是房间里面，若是对方早已准备好，在这里面设伏，那自己八成就得中招。
等摸到把手的那一刻，他的心总算是放了下来，一把拧开开关，厚重的大门被慢慢打开，门外一片黑暗，没有一丝动静。
当他打开射灯的一刹那，发现脚底下横七竖八地躺着三条大汉，查文斌顿时后背一阵冷汗冒起。弯下腰去试探了一番，三人都还有呼吸，并且很通畅，只是任凭他如何叫唤、踢打就是没有反应，好比是喝多了酒的人熟睡了一般。
这种情况，查文斌的脑海里第一个想到的人就是冷怡然！她曾经在蕲封山也莫名其妙地昏迷了过去，生命体征却一直完好。
察看了下，四下无人，查文斌吃力地把他们挨个拖进了走廊尽头，等他再次抬起头时，不远处一个红色身影一闪而过，速度极快地遁入了太平间。
“是人还是鬼？”查文斌自问道，那速度快得不像是人，但太平间是个死胡同，这明摆着就是给自己信号，进还是不进？看着地上躺着的三人，八成就是刚才那人所为，瞬间秒杀三位高手，这功力可真不是盖的，“进！不入虎穴，焉得虎子！既然花了这么大的心思，我不来会会你，岂不是让你白忙活一场了？反正现在自己也是光棍一个，上无老，下无小，唯一的儿子也已经托付给了何老，还真怕了你不成？”
这地上的三人分明就不是被下了死手的，那么目标就是自己了。生死之别，他早已在蕲封山祭出逆天噬魂咒以后就看破，这条命不过是稀里糊涂捡来的。
安顿好他们三个之后，查文斌踏着大步迈向了太平间，嘴角闪出一丝让人捉摸不透的笑意。这次直接抬脚踹门，“哐当”一声，厚重的铁门完全开启，雪白的战术射灯照去，没有发现任何东西。
这儿的藏尸格是一排一排的，总计有七排，查文斌就提着七星剑慢慢地搜寻过去，一直到第六排，还是没有发现任何异样。当最后一步跨过，第七排出现在自己视线中时，他赫然看见刚才被自己打开的那一格已经重新关上……
trap?能够做到如此悄无声息，联想到外面躺着的三个弟兄，查文斌没有必胜的把握。如果是个鬼魂，那么再凶也不过是自己的刀下鬼，但如果是个人呢？
在他看来，这完全是一种挑衅，赤裸裸的挑衅，无论是谁，都需要为今晚的行为付出代价！
查文斌把身子紧紧地贴在柜子边，左手轻轻触到那拉环，右手已经做好了攻击的准备，以便随时可以一剑劈下。
之前那一次，查文斌是眼疾手快一把拉开，而这一次，则是一点一点地慢慢拖动着。这就好比眼前放着一个充满了未知世界的潘多拉魔盒，打开它，谁也不知道会发生什么！
当柜子被拉开约莫三十厘米之后，查文斌的射灯照在一张冰冷的脸上。
这是一张怎样的脸？黑，黑得犹如夜色里的焦炭，实在是太黑了，他的眉毛上现在甚至开始出现了一层淡淡的霜。眉宇之间，印堂之上，格外的黑！连嘴唇都是乌色，这是一具让查文斌第一眼看见就觉得极其诡异的尸体，甚至在他的潜意识里，这根本就不是一具死尸，而是一个魔鬼！
当柜子被一点一点地拉开后，查文斌发现一袭红衣整齐地穿戴在他的身上，鲜红的颜色与他的肌肤形成了鲜明的对比，让查文斌的心跳开始加速。
这绝对不是一具普通的尸体！没有人会给死人穿上这种颜色的服装，因为这是大凶！横死之人，若穿红离世，必成厉鬼！而这具尸体，穿戴整齐，甚至难以找到一丝褶皱，这是有人刻意安排的。
如果说下一世的轮回是人在死后灵魂最终的归宿，那么还有另外一种形式的存在，便是以一种特殊的形态继续留在这一世，那便是化作鬼魂。有的人留下是因为舍不得，有的人留下是因为放不下，还有一种根本就是为了复仇。无论何种目的，在人们的眼中都是超越了规矩的存在，天地间的生死轮回本就是一种循环反复的既定规则，不可能因自我的意识强行改变，所以才有了道士这一职业的存在。
鬼气，无与伦比的鬼气直扑而来，查文斌甚至能隐约感觉到他对自己的不屑。这副打扮，如今说什么都不可能留下你，查文斌左手立马翻出掌门大印，准备一个罩门直接按在他的脑袋上，对付这种成了精的家伙，就得下死手！
当大印离那黑色面孔不到十厘米的时候，那具尸体猛然睁开了眼睛，一道凌厉的视线凶狠地看向查文斌，查文斌只觉得手腕一吃痛，一双黑色的大手已经牢牢地捏住了自己的左手。
以尸体的方式进行攻击？查文斌心头一惊，这还是头一次遇到，右手宝剑一转，径直劈下。那双手见有利器来袭，立马缩回，这才让查文斌有了间隙脱离，低头一看，手腕上已经被那厮给捏出了十道血红的手印！
就凭这股力道，查文斌知道这绝对是个厉害角色，人死后还能控制尸体，只有两个解释：僵尸或者根本就是个活人！
但那股灵活的样子又绝非僵尸能办到，再说僵尸这种东西他也只是听闻师父他老人家讲述过，自己却没有真正遇到过，因为尸体如果要做到不腐烂是很难的。
可又有哪个活人能躺在冰冷的冷柜里这么久，活人能办得到？再者，这里已经是好久没开业的殡仪馆，谁也不会跑到这儿来装神弄鬼，更加让他可以否定的是屋子里那漫天的鬼气，而这种鬼气他很熟悉，曾经在哪里就遇到过，只是一时想不起来了。
“哈哈，果真是个有意思的人。”一阵冷笑过后，那柜子里传出这样一声。
活人？查文斌握着家伙，心里顿时一凉，要真是个活人，他的确没有把握，因为论身手，自己怎么可能是外面那哥仨的对手，他们都被放倒了，自己又怎能逃得过？
人在关键的时候，就是不能手软，更加不能自己吓自己，查文斌狠狠地咬了一下嘴唇，努力让自己清醒一点儿，顿了顿，不卑不亢地说道：“兄台半夜三更跑到这儿来，恐怕也不是来做客的吧？”
那柜子里的人听完又说道：“很简单，你回去告诉那个胖子，这个地方闹鬼，让他关门大吉，包括你那三个朋友在内，我不会为难你们，否则……”说到这儿，他突然话音一变，凶狠了起来。
查文斌冷喝一声：“否则如何？难不成你还想鸠占鹊巢，一直睡在这里面？”
“哈哈哈……”柜子里的人大笑道，“小道士，不要不识抬举，恐怕就凭你还不是我对手，本来我不想这样，吓唬吓唬他们就算了。可那胖子不识好歹，竟然叫了个野道士来作法，害我受了些损失，若不给他点儿颜色看看，他就不知道什么叫厉害！”
“这么说，后来这里死去的那几人也是你的作为咯？”查文斌依旧保持着那个语调。
“哼！”柜子里的人冷哼道，“我想他家里那道符也是你给的吧，不然他怎么能活到今天？好吧，算你还有些本事。不过，你听着，凡是我想要的东西，从来没有得不到的，因为所有挡着的人都已经死了，哈哈，带着你的人走吧！”
“单凭你滥杀无辜和那一身鬼气，我就不能放过你，不管你是人是鬼，又有何目的，草菅人命之徒，非凶即恶，受死吧！”查文斌说完，身子猛地一弹，瞬间冲到了柜子边，右脚一记势大力沉的直踹，“当”的一声，那柜子径直被重新踹了进去！
若他真是个活人，在这种零下的密封环境里绝对不会活过五分钟！
还未等查文斌有下一步动作，“咣”的一声，那柜子笔直飞向对面，撞得第六排储藏柜摇摇欲坠，那个人一袭红衣，两眼直盯着查文斌，恶狠狠地说道：“天堂有路你不走，地狱无门闯进来。既然你想死，我便成全你！”
红衣男子的速度极快，快得超出了查文斌的反应。没等他有下一步动作，便觉得胸口一疼，身子便狠狠地撞到了后边的柜子上，“当”的一声，若不是这口气憋着，查文斌只怕当场就能喷出血来。
那男子没有就此罢休，而是悠悠地举起右手，作势就冲着查文斌的天灵盖而来。只是这一次，查文斌看得很清楚，那只手像一只鹰爪，弯曲而干瘪！
花白胡子的手也是这样！查文斌猛地想起蕲封山下的那个人，那个自称是卓雄的爷爷——鱼凫王的后裔。
“鬼道之术！”查文斌终于知道了为何有那般鬼气，这是一个修炼鬼道之术的邪恶之人，身体的强壮远远超过了常人，看他的修为未必在花白胡子之下，更有可能已经超过了他，这是一个未知的邪门修道者！
“真不错啊。”那红衣男子颇有些玩味地看着查文斌，继续说道，“这年头，竟然还有人认出鬼道，活了这么多年，还是第一次被人看穿，倒也不枉费我一番心思占这个地方。有意思，真有意思，不过小道士，你既然知道了，我也留你不得了，受死吧！”
红色影子如箭一般直射过来，鹰爪一般的手指像是锋利的匕首带着丝丝鬼气，查文斌身子一斜躲过了这一击，“轰”的一声，背后的柜子瞬间被洞穿，足见这力量之大！
一击未成，那男子倒也不懊恼，在他眼中，查文斌只是一个还在挣扎的猎物而已，就像是猫抓老鼠那样，玩着也是一种乐趣。
对付这种不人不鬼的东西，查文斌一时也找不到好的办法，再这样耗下去，最终倒下的肯定是自己。
就在此时，查文斌的耳边突然传来了一阵狗吠声，“汪汪汪！”黑子！是黑子！这是它的叫声，它怎么来了？
那黑衣男子听到狗吠之后，明显脸上也隐隐有了些许不愉快，作势又要攻来。只是这一次查文斌没有像之前那样选择躲避。他大喝一声，抢在那红衣男子之前，率先举着七星剑直刺而去，没有任何花招，干干净净的一剑。
红衣男子显然没有料到他还会还手，这七星剑可是上古遗物，经过了历代道家传人之手，对付这些恶魔歪道自然还是有很强的杀伤力，那红衣男子感觉到其中的厉害，身子一闪，让查文斌扑了个空。
未等查文斌来得及回身，身后已听得红衣男子恶狠狠地喊道：“你给我去死！”
“噗”的一声，查文斌感觉到自己的后背被刺穿了，一阵麻木过后，背脊上一凉，那是血。
“啊！”不知哪里来的力气，查文斌怪叫一声之后，抡起七星剑向后用力劈去。红衣男子的一只手还留在查文斌的体内，被他这么一转身，手臂恰好卡在了骨头里，完全来不及拿出来，如切瓜一般，那只手永远地离开了红衣男子的手臂。
“这，不可能……”红衣男子喃喃地说道。
与此同时，一只体型硕大的黑狗，如同疯了一般冲向二楼，撞得那些铃铛响起了一片，它恰好看见了这一幕，看见了自己的主人受到了重创。
黑子就像一头豹子，没有任何停留，直接扑向了正不可思议地看着自己的断手的红衣男子……
黑子是一只土狗，虽然它有着超乎意料的天眼，能识得恶鬼，也有着惊人的勇气和不屈的斗志，但它终究是一条土狗。
红衣男子被这一扑虽然乱了阵脚，可毕竟还是一条老狐狸，在断了一只手的情况下狠狠抡起被黑子咬住的右手。“咣！”黑子就像是一块破抹布一般被砸在柜子上，可是它依旧没有松口，狗对主人的保护天性和对黑暗世界的憎恨在这一刻表现得淋漓尽致。
红衣男子显然已经气急败坏，虽然自己也受了重伤，但一只断手却不是致命的，只需再一击，查文斌必定命丧黄泉。
当他高高地扬起自己的手臂准备再次砸下的时候，只觉得脑门一疼，转而瞬间身体已经离开了大地，那只抬在半空的手再也无法落下。
画面被定格在了一个这样的场景：红衣男子的右手依然被黑子紧紧地咬着，而他的身旁站着奄奄一息的查文斌，只是此刻他的天顶穴上多了一样东西——灭魂钉！
就是这不足半寸的小钉子，就在他准备对黑子下杀手的时候，查文斌以迅雷不及掩耳之势拼尽了最后一丝力气狠狠地钉在了他的头上。
灭魂钉的头部并没有想象中那样锋利，反而还有些钝，但它却轻而易举地刺穿了红衣男子的头盖骨，这点儿阻力甚至让查文斌觉得自己是刺中了一块豆腐，瞬间就没入了他的脑壳里。
灭魂钉是绝对的上古神器，况且这玩意本就是出自鬼道高人之手，对于魂魄有着超乎寻常的杀伤力，就算是大罗金仙只要被击中也得立马魂飞魄散。
连哀号声都没有发出，刚才还不可一世的红衣男子身子一斜，便一头栽倒在地上，两眼瞪得老大，他大概永远也不会明白为什么一个活死人也会有死亡的那一天，而且来得如此突然。
灭魂钉的厉害之处在于它的符咒，自古道家符文之中，唯有鬼文是最难解的，这种早已失传的秘法可能是因为过于歹毒，也可能是过于深奥。它是超越了杀生这个最为严厉的惩罚的存在，它不仅能杀生而且是让人永不超生，三魂七魄会尽数被它禁锢，也就再也谈不上轮回。
查文斌看着对方倒地，眼皮一沉，便昏睡了过去，隐约间一个摇晃的身影踉跄着走到身边，他只觉得脸上一湿，又回到了三足蟾给他的感觉，只是这个更加粗糙。
第二日，当金馆长按照事先的约定摇摇晃晃地来到这里，查文斌身边的血迹早已凝固成了一片黑色，身上还有一条大黑狗紧紧地趴在他背上，用体温给主人带来最后一丝温暖。吓破了胆的他拨通了公安局的电话，随之便是救护车响着尖锐的喇叭声载着几人呼啸而去。
三天之后，省城的加护病房里，查文斌第一次睁开了眼睛：超子、卓雄、横肉脸、金馆长、冷怡然、何老、老王、赵所长、冷所长，还有他的儿子。人们看到他眨着的眼皮喜极而泣，庆幸这位汉子再一次死里逃生，根据事后的描述，红衣男插进的五根手指中最近的那一根距离查文斌肺脏不足一厘米。
因为殡仪馆属于民政部门，所以那件事情对外的官方解释是殡仪馆里进了小偷，查文斌他们是智斗小偷受了伤，目前小偷已经被关押起来。但是民间的说法都是殡仪馆里出了一个恶鬼，先后害了多条人命，最终一个道士经过一番恶战终于收服了那恶鬼，有好事者还有模有样地讲述了查文斌是如何作法的，一时间查文斌的大名在我们周边几个县里是如雷贯耳，大家都知道这里出了个高人。加上之前一些受过他恩惠的人，特别是王庄的那一块地，查文斌几乎就成了天师下凡的代言人
