Chapter 12 Return to the Soul
Together with Daochang Chen, I helped my father go back to the village chief's house and lay down.
I looked at my father's face covered in blood and was very worried: "Daozhang Chen, what happened to my father? He won't just die like this..."
Daochang Chen frowned and checked his father again, and finally looked relieved: "It's nothing, it's just that one of my legs won't be able to get off the ground anymore. Everything else is fine."
After hearing this, I couldn't feel relieved: "One pair of legs..."
My father is the only labor force in my family now. He usually makes coffins to earn some money to support the family. If I become disabled again now, it will be even more difficult.
"What can I do... Sigh..." I lowered my head, a little frustrated, and the happiness I felt just now was gone.
However, Daochang Chen advised me: "Little boy, if it had been anyone else, after using this golden talisman, he would have either died or been paralyzed. Your father is already considered a minor offender. But he is really brave. He can win so easily this time."
Tian Bin, his contribution is indispensable."
It turns out that this is the backlash that Daochang Chen mentioned before.
I looked at my father. Although he usually looks like a money-grubbing small businessman and has to negotiate with others for a long time to buy vegetables, he can make such a decisive decision.
Originally, I blamed him for helping the village chief do some dirty things, but now I feel that he is actually a responsible person, so I forgive him for that.
"Then when will Dad wake up?" I was a little worried.
Daochang Chen took his father's pulse again: "Well... don't worry, your father will wake up within two days when his energy and blood recover."
Only then did I feel relieved.
Although my father was still unconscious, the wounds on his body could not be delayed. According to the method taught by Daochang Chen, I went to the village chief's house to find some clean handkerchiefs, helped him clean the wounds that had been scratched by the rotting corpses, and then applied them again.
I bought some herbs given by Taoist Chen.
I usually help with housework, and my hands and feet are very quick, so I can finish everything in a short time.
Daochang Chen also packed up at this time, and there was a small baggage behind him, which contained some things like glutinous rice that he found at the village chief's house.
"Now you take Chrysalis and I up the mountain. The bodies of those villagers are probably still on the mountain. We have to go there." Daochang Chen waved to me.
I glanced at my father a few more times, then I tightened my grip on the human chrysalis in my pocket and followed Daozhang Chen out of the door.
Along the way, Daochang Chen told me a lot of things, including the origin of this human chrysalis.
The human pupa I got was made from the roots of a willow tree, and the lines on it are used to store the absorbed souls.
Although it is easy to absorb souls, it is also simple to crack. The five elements of Yang and Yang are mutually reinforcing and restraining each other. You only need to use the "gold" of the bronze tripod to restrain the "wood" of the willow tree, and then add some spells to catalyze it, so that it can absorb the soul by itself.
"Spit it out".
I was stunned for a moment after hearing Daochang Chen's theory.
Although I have experienced so many obviously unscientific things, in the final analysis I am still a teenager who has received scientific education for so many years, so when I listen to it, I take it half as a story and half as truth.
As soon as I set foot on the road up the mountain, I felt a chill on my back.
Although there is no thick fog now, the mountain is still very cold and there are messy graves everywhere.
I walked up the mountain according to my memory, and soon I reached the place where I was separated from them.
The sun is shining brightly now, and there is no obstruction to the line of sight. Logically speaking, if they were nearby, they would be easily discovered, but Director Chen and I searched all around and found no one.
Looking around, there are only small dirt bags everywhere.
Little bumpkin?
"This place... doesn't seem to have had so many small dirt bags before." I walked forward cautiously and found that some of the small dirt bags had newly dug soil.
At this time, Daochang Chen also walked up to take a look, and then showed a surprised expression: "There... there are living people down here! Dig up these places quickly!"
I was shocked, so I quickly picked up the shovel and started digging.
The soil was not buried deep, and soon a head was dug out.
"Daozhang Chen! We dug it out. It's Wang Ergou at the head of the village!"
At this time, Daochang Chen was also busy digging out another mound that looked new. I turned around and saw that he also dug out a head. It was Aunt Liu who was at the banquet table with me before.
"Keep digging!"
Daochang Chen and I continued to divide the work, and it took another half a day to dig out all the mounds. There were more than 20 people inside!
After digging everything out, I was so tired that I simply sat down on the ground and watched Master Chen cast the spell.
Although the steps of casting a spell seemed simple, Daochang Chen could only cast the spell one by one, villager by villager, which was repeated a lot. As I watched, I gradually understood some of the methods.
So, I offered to help in the later stage, and the two of us divided the work and cooperated, and the efficiency was greatly accelerated.
It only took less than an hour for Daochang Chen to release the control of the last person, and the villagers lying around him also woke up one after another.
"I'm...ah! Xu Yaomao, it's you!" Wang Ergou, who woke up first, sat up holding his head and scratched the back of his head, still a little unconscious.
He stood up excitedly: "Did you save us?"
I glanced at him: "What Xu Yaomao! Stop barking!"
Wang Ergou is a well-known snobbery in the village, but he is not a bad person. I hate him a little, but I still explained: "It wasn't me, it was Daochang Chen who saved you."
Wang Ergou looked at the strange old man in Taoist robes in front of him with some suspicion, then looked at me, hesitated for a while, then stepped forward, put on a flattering expression and talked to Taoist Master Chen.
Within a few minutes, all the villagers gradually woke up. After understanding the situation, they all stepped forward to thank Director Chen.
Daochang Chen looked calm. After responding to them calmly, he glanced at everyone and asked, "Are these the people in your village?"
Only then did I realize that there seemed to be someone missing here.
"Village Chief! Village Chief is missing!" Wang Ergou was the first to discover the abnormality and said in a hurry.
Daochang Chen frowned, but just nodded: "Okay, you take everyone back now, and we will look for it later."
It is well known in the village that Wang Ergou has been eyeing the position of the village chief for a long time, and he likes to flatter the village chief, but the village chief ignores him at all. Now Taoist Wang suddenly asked him to organize the villagers, and he excitedly
Start directing immediately.
Not to mention, Wang Ergou was indeed the person who had wanted to be the village chief for so long, and he took all the villagers back in no time.
Daochang Chen led me to continue searching around, and the two of us gradually walked away without realizing it.
It was getting dark, and I don't know if it was a subconscious effect, but I felt a vague cry ringing in my ears.
