Taboos in the Underworld: Starting from being paid a lot of money to beg for a child

After taking off her shoes, Granny Tian took out a jar for grinding medicinal powder.

She put some realgar, garlic, calamus, and then some black powder into it, stirring it constantly with boiling water.

She said while stirring:

"I will remove one voodoo each from your middle finger and middle toe later. These four voodoos will work with the leeches you drank in the body to force the mother voodoo to the esophagus of your neck. The things I grind are used to seal it. You also need to take a big mouthful of your seven orifices to prevent the mother Gu from escaping to your head."

I hummed and said:

"Are you finally going to force the mother voodoo into my neck and esophagus?"

Granny Tian nodded and said:

"Yes, I asked that friend who is a Taoist and Gu cultivator, and he said that the esophagus is the most vulnerable place for humans and souls. If you want to kill the mother Gu, you have the best chance of killing it in the esophagus."

"How to kill?" Senior sister suddenly asked.

"Use a knife," Grandma Tian said, then turned around and walked to a wooden barrel, and pulled out a bright hatchet that was nearly half a meter long.

"I sharpened this hatchet for two hours and soaked it in Pulsatilla, Striga and Bone Salt for six hours. It can kill the female Gu with one knife."

Hearing Granny Tian's remark, I couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After all, I still couldn’t escape the dream that Xiaoqiu had. She said that she dreamed that I was dead.

And the head and body are separated.

Doesn't Grandma Huang's method mean to chop off my head with a knife?

By the way, there is also the dream I had before, where two Gu insects fought and tore my neck directly...

I never expected that in this 21st century, there is still such a thing as beheading.

"Grandma Tian, ​​you don't mean to chop off my junior brother's head, do you? Now that the mother Gu has been forced to the neck, can you just cut open the location where the mother Gu is?"

The senior sister said with some trepidation, she would definitely not be able to accept the way I died.

Granny Tian said:

"No, the mother voodoo is cunning and will not stay on the surface of the skin. It will definitely hide in the esophagus inside the neck, and the esophagus is a relatively fragile place for both the body and the soul. I will use medicine to guide the mother voodoo to the esophagus. , and this mother Gu is a Yin Gu, if the neck is not completely cut off, it will hide with the help of the soul."

After listening to Granny Huang's words, I just took a deep breath.

To be honest, I'm afraid.

I have dispersed many resentful souls that have no way of reincarnation, and most of them were cut off by my whip.

I know that is the most direct way, and I also know how scary that situation is.

Now that I am going to end up like this, is this a way of repaying me with what I have done?

The senior sister was also so shocked by this method of killing mother Gu that she didn't dare to speak. She just couldn't stop crying.

He suddenly squatted down and held my head, choking and asked:

"Junior brother, are you afraid?"

I forced myself to calm down and shook my head, jokingly saying:

"Don't be afraid, the result will be the same. It doesn't matter what method you use. You don't have to cut me into pieces. And it's just cutting my neck. It won't affect my heroic appearance."

"Pfft, what time has it been? I'm still in the mood to joke."

The senior sister patted the back of my head.

"Senior sister, after my handsome head falls to the ground, and after Granny Tian cleans up the mother Gu, you must put my head back to the neck as soon as possible, and find a way to fix it, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable for my soul to be separated. ” I continued jokingly.

Granny Tian took over the conversation:

"Don't worry, I will use voodoo to reconnect your head and body. Although there will be a gap, it won't be obvious. My voodoo will also seal your arteries and blood vessels, so you won't bleed a lot."

"That's good, thank you Granny Tian. Senior sister, you see, it's not scary, right?"

I reached out and touched my senior sister's tear-covered face.

The senior sister just gave me a sideways look and held my head harder and harder.

"Senior sister, you want to suffocate me to death."

I said jokingly.

"It's better to be suffocated to death than to be beheaded."

As the senior sister said this, she let go of my head.

A few minutes later, Granny Huang took a measuring tape and said:

"Young man, lie down straight."

I did as she was told, and Grandma Huang handed one end of the tape measure to the senior sister, asked her to fix it around my neck, and then pulled the tape measure to my ankle.

After she noted the length, she pushed a simple stand from the side. She didn't know what it was used for, it was a bit like a weaving stand.

She fixed the shelf against the wall. The middle of the shelf was empty, and a wooden strip with a gap in the middle was tied to both sides.

I immediately understood that this wooden shelf was used to fix the sharp hatchet.

"Young man, I will put four Gu worms under your limbs later. These Gu worms will attack in 10 minutes. After the attack, they will paralyze your whole body and you will not feel any pain. During these 10 minutes, etc. , you have to climb up the stairs yourself, then put your feet into the ropes above, put your body down, and hang vertically under the wooden ladder." Granny Tian said.

"Okay, Granny Tian, ​​let's cast the poison." I said directly.

Granny Tian nodded and opened the four voodoo jars she had just brought over. Each of the voodoo jars contained a voodoo worm.

Grandma Tian inserted four Gu insect winds into my body from my limbs.

Then he quickly took another jar from the table.

What's inside this jar is not a poison, but something thick and thick like an ointment.

She spat the stuff on my neck in a thick circle and explained while applying it:

"These ointments mixed with the corpse of the seed voodoo are used to attract the mother voodoo. And with this layer of things, the mother voodoo cannot escape into your soul."

"Well, Granny Tian, ​​thank you."

I said gratefully.

"Young man, you are very brave, and your friends are very lucky." Granny Tian put away the ointments.

This sentence seems familiar, and I remember what the fortune teller said to me before, "In a way, you have already calculated your death just once. As for the future blessings I am talking about, it has nothing to do with you, but with the people around you. Regardless, your life is still your life."

Now that Granny Tian said that my friends are very lucky, I finally understood what the fortune teller meant.

But is this really their blessing?

On the surface, it seems that I killed the mother voodoo with my own life and helped them untie the child voodoo.

But emotionally, I gave them more pain.

If it was my senior sister who was going to die, I don't think I would have the courage to face it.

"Okay, let's climb up."

Granny Tian stood up and said.

I nodded and started to climb the ladder. When I reached the noose, I put my feet in it.

Then turn over to the back of the wooden ladder, stand upside down with your hands, hold on to the ladder tightly, and slowly climb down.

His feet were hanging on it, and his hands were almost in a straight line and tightly attached to the back of the wooden ladder.

Grandma Tian and senior sister supported me, and I slowly let go of my hand and began to swing toward the wooden frame until it was vertical.

The two wooden blocks of the wooden frame were just around my neck, and Granny Tian adjusted the position slightly.

Then he pulled me back to the back of the wooden ladder while I was hanging upside down, and fixed me on the wooden ladder with a rope.

At this time, the voodoo attacks.

There is no feeling in my whole body. Except for my consciousness, everything seems to have nothing to do with me.

My back was against the back of the wooden ladder, and there was a rope tied to my chest.

Three meters in front, the wooden frame stood straight there. Granny Tian picked up the shiny hatchet and fixed it on the frame.

And put a layer of stuff on it.

Now everything is ready, just cut the rope around my chest.

Due to gravity, I will hit the hatchet directly, and the sharp hatchet will cut my neck instantly.

After Granny Tian applied the medicine, she began to seal my ears, nostrils, and eyes with ointment made from ground realgar, garlic, and calamus.

Then he opened my mouth with his hands and poured a mouthful of the ointment into my mouth.

"Young man, only by standing on your head can my voodoo drive the mother voodoo to the neck. Although this method is cruel, the old lady really has no other way. I hope you don't blame me."

As Grandma Tian spoke, her eyes began to moisten.

At this time, I could no longer speak. I could only comfort Granny Tian with my eyes.

"I am now going to use a technique to make those voodoos drive the mother voodoo to the neck. After I succeed, I will not hesitate to cut the rope fixed to your chest." Granny Tian continued.

I tried hard to nod, but I couldn't do anything. The senior sister started crying...

Grandma Tian started ringing the bell, and took a handful of garlic leaves and swept them regularly over my body, speaking in Miao language that I couldn't understand.

But less than 3 minutes later, I suddenly heard the sound of scissors cutting the rope.

My body suddenly broke away from the wooden ladder, and my neck quickly hit the sharp hatchet...
