Chapter 380 Dream and Coffin(1/2)
Gongsun said a saying that everyone had never heard of, "Beast Soul Array."
"That's it." Gongsun hugged the innocent little son on his legs and rubbed his arms while recalling, "I remember when I was a teenager. Once when I came to the hospital, I picked up an old man who was about to die of illness on the side of the road. I took him back to the medicine house for treatment. He was feverish and speechless, and was crazy. I checked him and found that something had been hit by his head. He didn't even say a big hole, but he might have been stunned. During the treatment of him, he kept saying something about "Jiuxiao Soul Court, Ding Gui Baishen, Beast Soul Array, the entrance is east, the exit is west... um..."
Gongsun touched his chin, as if he was sorting out the crazy man's nonsense in his memory, "Oh, and, finally, I've found it... I'm going back to tell the master."
Everyone looked at each other.
"What have you found?" Zhao Pu asked.
Gongsun shook his head and signaled that he was not clear.
"It's been a long time since the incident." Zhan Zhao said, "It's a pity that you can remember."
Xiao Sizi nodded, "Dad has a good memory."
Gongsun touched Xiao Sizi's face.
Bai Yutang asked, "What does that person look like and do they have any characteristics?"
Gongsun thought for a while, "Well... it looks like an ordinary old man, white hair, big beard, wearing an ordinary gray robe, ah!"
As he said that, Gongsun clapped his hands, "He doesn't look so much like a Han man. His nose is so tall. There is also a tattoo behind his ears."
As soon as Gongsun finished speaking, he heard Zai Shenghua suddenly ask him, "Black or red?"
Gongsun was slightly stunned and looked at the Burial Flower.
Others looked at him too.
Although Huanshenghua still felt a little embarrassed, her eyes seemed to care. He looked at Gongsun and asked, "Is the tattoo behind his ears a flame-shaped figure?"
Gongsun nodded, "Yes!"
"Red or black." Huanshenghua asked again.
"Black." Gongsun replied.
Huanshenghua frowned slightly and glanced at Gongsun, "What about later? What about that person?"
Gongsun had no choice but to say, "He fainted after I sewed his wounds. I went to collect herbs, but when I came back, he was gone."
Zai Shenghua shook her head and pointed at Gongsun, "I have great fortune and great destiny. If I encounter it, he will kill you."
Gongsun was shocked.
Zhao Pu was also quite dissatisfied, "How many times have you told you that not everyone is a good person, especially some people who are injured and are still on the roadside without anyone to care. Why do you pick up people at home?"
Gongsun looked at Zhao Pu with his eyes slanted, "Do you have any objections?"
Zhao Pu blinked, scratched his chin, and muttered, "No..."
Everyone looked at each other - Oh? Zhao Pu should be so mean to speak a little, right? How did it change?
Gongsun looked at Zhao Pu.
Zhao Pu laughed at him, his eyes were similar to those when Gongsun looked at his fourth son on weekdays. Gongsun scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed.
"Who is the one with black flames behind his ears?" Bai Yutang asked Huanshenghua.
Cang Shenghua frowned and said, "I have often met these two groups of people over the years. They have excellent skills and no trace of coming and going. They only have one purpose, to find something in the tomb, or to mean, they are looking for a certain tomb."
Everyone looked at him and Zhan Zhao asked, "So you don't know where they came from, and what are you looking for?"
Hua Shenghua seemed not used to everyone's eyes being focused on herself, and she was embarrassed to block it with her cloak, and then said, "I often find that in some relatively large tombs, there are corpses of humans that do not belong to this tomb era. At first I thought it was a tomb robber, but later I found that it was not very similar... Many tombs did not lose burial objects, and the equipment of the people who died in the tomb did not look like stealing things, but more like some kind of pathfinder. Moreover, these corpses generally have a characteristic, with tattoos behind their ears, some were black, and some were red, and each was different."
Everyone touched their chins - and what happened like this?
Later, a few times, I ran into a tomb. They seemed to be looking for something. The only difference was their personality. The black tattoo behind the ear is very cruel and will attack others on their own initiative. I have killed a few. The red tattooed one never attacks people and runs away when they find people. I have grabbed a red tattoo behind the ear, but I can't speak."
"Is it a mute?" Gongsun asked.
"It's a deformity!" Zai Shenghua pointed to her mouth and said, "The tongues of those people are very strange in shape and make strange screams, but they can't speak. Their tongues are a bit like bird's tongue."
Everyone sounded fresh.
"Is there such a person there?" Zhan Zhao found it incredible.
"I asked Ban Yuexian to see it." Huansheng said, "He said that these people should have been soaked with poison since childhood, so their tongues are deformed and cannot speak, but they can make sounds, so that they can communicate in a way that belongs only to them, and they will never be afraid of leaking secrets."
Everyone couldn't help but open their mouths. This method was a bit too cruel.
"I thought red was a good person if I didn't kill people." Zhao Pu curled his lips, "It's better to look like black than black, at least I can speak nonsense."
Gongsun touched his chin, thought for a while, and asked Huanshenghua, "Does the black tattooed person have a cold personality and seem to have no feelings? Then he will never be captured or feared, and will continue to fight to death?"
Huanshenghua nodded.
"Oh..." Gongsun understood and said, "When I was treating the old man's wound, I found an iron nail in the wound on the left back of his forehead that pierced into his brain. I thought it was caused by the impact, but now I think it was caused by man."
Everyone couldn't help but raise their eyebrows, their eyes wider.
"It's cruel enough to soak the poison in the tongue." Zhan Zhao couldn't help but say, "I'm still nailing someone's head?"
Gongsun nodded, "This is a cruel, but effective way to control people. The structure of a person's head is very complex. After many places are destroyed, people will change their temperaments! Nailing nails in this position may be the reason for this personality. The old man I saved is also a blessing in disguise. The nail in his head has shifted due to the impact, so he did not fight to death like others."
Everyone nodded, so that's it.
"Who controls them, and their methods are so cruel." Zhan Zhao thought, "What kind of beast soul array was mentioned by the rescued man... Tell the master... Could it be that what his master is looking for is the kind of vision in the valley?"
"It's possible." Gongsun nodded, "I used to live in Shaoxing Mansion. After he was injured, he wandered around and was in a daze. It's possible that he could get there."
Bai Yutang suddenly asked Zhan Zhao, "The person who committed suicide by being buried by Grandma Jiutou... Is there a tattoo behind his ear?"
Zhan Zhao was slightly stunned.
"If he can speak, he will have a black tattoo, right?" Zhan Zhao said.
Everyone nodded.
“Ha~”
At this time, Xiao Sizi's yawn pulled back everyone who was in deep thought.
Zhan Zhao looked at the sky and said, "Everyone goes back to sleep, it's better to talk about it tomorrow."
Everyone was exhausted and dispersed.
...
They went back to their houses, and Gongsun fed water to wash the little son.
Xiao Sizi didn't know if she woke up just now, but now she was inexplicably energetic. While washing her hands, she asked Gongsun, who was a little sleepy, "Dad, why do you need to lock the coffin with an iron chain?"
Gongsun yawned, "Well... I guess there is something important inside."
"Don't the coffin pretend to be dead?" Xiao Sizi continued, "Will the dead crawl out?"
Gongsun wiped his face with a hot towel and said, "It's probably some kind of ritual, or funeral customs or something."
"The one buried in the ground can't even come out even if you think about it?" Xiao Sizi followed Gongsun and asked a question.
Gongsun was so funny, "Yes..."
"Then can I open the chain with the key?" Xiao Sizi continued to ask.
Gongsun thought for a while, "I guess he was a dead person when I mentioned the chain but didn't mention the lock." Gongsun poured water outside, turned around and went back to the house, and the little Sizi continued to be a follower, "Dad, I have seen a coffin locked with chains before."
Gongsun was slightly stunned, and woke up halfway through sleepiness. He put down the basin and looked at Xiao Sizi, puzzled, "When did you see it? Why don't I remember?"
"Dad we often see each other dad?" Xiao Sizi asked.
Gongsun was puzzled, so he pulled the stool and sat down, pulled the little guy down, combed his hair, and asked, "I've seen it too?"
"Every year when they pull nets and catch fish, they don't throw many locked coffins into the river."
Gongsun was stunned for a long time, and finally couldn't laugh or cry, "That's not a coffin."
The little four son tilted his head.
"That is load-bearing, just like a weight." Gongsun explained to Xiaosizi, "They caught too many fish and pulled them up in one net. If they got ashore, the fish would soon die. So use heavy things to hang the fishing net to ensure that the fish would not swim and not die. In this way, after they picked the big fish away, the small fish would be released!"
The little four son tilted his head.
"Those coffins are not shaped like coffins, but iron piers." Gongsun explained, "There are hooks on the chains, which are hooked on the fishing nets..."
Speaking of this, Gongsun suddenly touched his chin, "Yeah..."
The little Sizi patted his long fluffy hair and asked Gongsun, "Dad, can I comb my hair like Jiujiu?"
Gongsun came to his senses and looked at the little Sizi with disgust, "Does Jiujiu comb his hair? Didn't he just tie a tuft of hair at will? What's the difference between it and a mop?"
...
"Ah snee..."
In the next room, Zhao Pu suddenly raised his face and sneeze.
The sneeze was really loud. Gongsun and Xiao Sizi heard it, looked at each other, and covered their mouths together.
...
After Zhan Zhao washed up, he climbed onto the bed, hugged Xiao Wu, the soft and fluffy one in the bed, and rubbed it.
Xiao Wu took a shower and basked in the sun before, so his hair was warm all over his body and there was a smell of the sun.
