Well of Mystery

Huayang skillfully passed the thin thread through the eye of the needle, and then began to twist the thin thread on both sides of the eye of the needle together bit by bit.While twisting, he continued to instruct Jiang Chenglu: "Go outside and get some water to clean up the break of Xiaobai's neck. If it is not smooth enough, deal with it again."

"..."

The content of this order is too cruel, but Jiang Chenglu also understands that if Xiaobai is to be resurrected, this procedure must be completed.

So he immediately ran out of the tent according to Hua Yang's instructions, and found that there was indeed a spring not far away, the spring was silently invisible, and there was a layer of colorful agate stones under the clear water.If you look closely, the stones are engraved with water purification charms.

He knew that this should be the source of water that Hua Yang was talking about, so he decisively took a bucket and brought it back into the curtain.

"Xiaobai, let me wash you first..."

He whispered softly, as if facing a lover who was still asleep and didn't want to wake up.Then gently lifted Bai Xiuqi's head and immersed it in clean water.

Because of falling into the muddy water of the tunnel just now, Bai Xiuqi's cheeks were covered with mud and blood, looking very miserable.However, at the moment of immersion in the clean water, all the filth was scattered towards the water, and after sedimentation, they became black or red stone beads, and Bai Xiuqi's head became extremely clean immediately.

"Okay."

At this time, Hua Yang had already prepared the needle and thread. He signaled Jiang Chenglu to hold Bai Xiuqi's head again, and helped him align Xiaobai's head with his body.

Finally started sewing.

The almost transparent cow hair fine needles and the almost transparent thin thread danced flexibly up and down at Huayang's fingertips.The needle tip pierced Bai Xiuqi's skin, and then pierced into the seemingly hard white porcelain doll, as effortlessly as piercing into tofu.

Different from the suturing techniques of those skilled surgeons in the world, Huayang's suturing stitches are more precise, but they look very, very messy.Sometimes a long thread is pulled out, sometimes it goes back to the place where it has already been sewn, and sometimes it is even just a continuous needle on one side of the neck, which does not seem to have the effect of connecting the head and the body...

However, Jiang Chenglu could tell that this acupuncture method was actually intentional.Huayang is imitating a sacrificial step called "Yu step".Stepping up and down, there is no chaos at all.Only in this way can the mana-infused stitches really work, reconnecting two lifeless objects of different materials into an organic whole.

The extremely subtle operations continued quietly.A small but extremely important ceremony is underway.Although Jiang Chenglu couldn't help much, he still waited by the side without blinking.

After about an hour, the troublesome stitching project was finally declared over.Bai Xiuqi's head was officially joined to the doll's body.Although the joints seem to be tightly stitched, and there are almost no traces of stitches, but overall, there are still some differences in skin color between the head and the body.

"It doesn't matter. In the past few days of fusion, the skin color will gradually become unified."

This is Hua Yang's answer.

However, the stitching of the body is only the first step in resurrecting Bai Xiuqi.Jiang Chenglu soon began to ask what should be done next.

"The next step is to make bones, muscles and internal organs. Don't be in a hurry, it will take a little time."

This time, the person who answered him was no longer Hua Yang, but Shang Douxing who had just opened the green curtain and walked in.

The man who took off the bear's skin returned to his fierce appearance.But no matter how evil he is, at least he has rich experience in reshaping his body.

Of course, Jiang Chenglu had heard about reshaping the body after death.The most famous one is of course the story of the third prince Nezha in the early days who cut the bone to return his father and cut the flesh to return to his mother. After Nezha died, his master Taiyi Zhenren reshaped his body with lotus root festival.

However, that kind of miraculous lotus has long been extinct, and it is not possible to find even a single branch in the world.To reshape the physical body, more complicated means must be adopted.

"Xiaodong is luckier than me. At least his body is not completely wiped out."

When he said this, Shang Douxing had already gently placed a cloth bag in his hand on the white jade bed.A slightly burnt smell immediately spread into Jiang Chenglu's nasal cavity.He knew that it contained the ashes of Bai Xiuqi's body.

"To make internal organs and muscles. This is the best material. But bones, especially the spine, have to find other materials."

"What material?" Jiang Chenglu hurriedly asked.

"The best is dragon spine coral. Its shape is most similar to the human spine. Embed it into the doll, fill it with internal organs and muscles. After waiting for seven days, a brand new skeleton will be able to grow."

"I have this kind of coral!" Jiang Chenglu's eyes lit up: "I still have a lot of things in my warehouse, you can take whatever you need!"

"It's convenient." Hua Yang smiled at the side: "Then stop talking nonsense and do everything that can be done first!"

Like Bai Xiuqi's head, the bag of ashes from his body had been soaked in the muddy water for quite a long time, and had already been mixed with the muddy water.So Jiang Chenglu went to fetch another bucket of clean water.According to Shang Douxing's instructions, he soaked the entire cloth bag together with the ashes into the water.

After a while, I saw sand and all kinds of filth began to separate out of the cloth bag, forming fine beads one by one, falling to the bottom of the bucket continuously.

Almost half an hour later, Jiang Chenglu took out the cloth bag again, opened the mouth of the bag and found that the remaining ashes had suddenly turned into off-white coarse sand-like particles.

"These things are a bit close to relics in terms of composition."

Hua Yang explained casually, and then said to Shang Douxing: "Go and call Xiao Wei, I need his help for the next thing."

Wei Xiangtu soon entered the Hutian, Huayang showed him the bag of ashes, and he immediately showed a clear expression.

"First, grind these granules into powder." He pointed to a medicine mortar next to the white jade bed and instructed Jiang Chenglu, and then reported several very rare medicinal materials.

"I have it, I have it!" Jiang Chenglu nodded repeatedly.

Rare medicinal materials were quickly brought over, and they were put into the kettle for decoction in a certain proportion.Because of the function of the pot sky, the time for decocting the medicine was shortened to the shortest.The amber concoction with a strange and strong aroma was poured into the mortar, and thoroughly mixed with the ashes that were crushed into white powder.

Jiang Chenglu continued to stir the objects in the medicine mortar, continuously pouring his spiritual power into it.This kind of behavior is actually a bit similar to blood transfusion between ordinary human beings. Although the proper ratio will not harm the body, but beyond a certain range, it will cause danger to the blood donor.

"That's enough, you take a break. The little boss can't bear so much at all."

In the end, it was Wei Xiangtu who took Jiangchenglu's arm, and told him to sit aside to rest temporarily, and Shang Douxing took over the job of the medicine mortar.However, Jiang Chenglu was still fidgeting, and ran to Baiyu's bedside to check on Bai Xiuqi's condition.

According to Hua Yang's temper, he should have been cursing when he met such an annoying guy, but because of the special situation, he suppressed the complaint abruptly, and pushed Bai Xiuqi outside with one hand.

"It's already night. You might as well go to the gate of hell with Tao Chuan to have a look. If Xiaobai accidentally enters the gate, it will be too troublesome to ask those iron roosters in the underworld to ask for someone."

————————————————————————————

Jiang Chenglu went out and found Tao Chuan.There was no need to communicate any more, the two jumped into the police car and set off immediately.Head towards the suburbs to the northeast.

gate of hell.As the name suggests.It is the level that connects the human world and the ghost world.On both sides of this ghost gate, the human world ends here, and the ghost world begins.

The ghost gate in the traditional sense is located in the northeast geographically, where a certain Yin energy gathers.It could be a cemetery, an abandoned hospital, or even a ruins of a sacrificial pit excavated by archaeologists... and the city in front of him is just the location of the crematorium.

Whether it is Tao Chuan or Jiang Chenglu, this is not the first time they have dealt with people from Guimenguan. Apart from being concerned about the whereabouts of Bai Xiuqi's soul, there is no more anxiety and tension.

The place where the funeral home is located is called Niu Ma Road, which was the location of Niu Ma Village in ancient times.Some people also combined the name of the road with the funeral parlor, saying that it means a cow's head and a horse's face. In fact, this is really not a coincidence.

Everyone on the "Tao'er" knows that judging whether a location is possible or not is one of the important basis for the gate of hell.Just to see if there are two big families surnamed Niu and Ma living near this place at the same time.

If there is, it needs to be further judged according to a series of other conditions such as terrain, geomantic omen and so on.But if not, then this place will certainly not be a ghost gate.

The reason for saying this is actually very simple-these two families are actually ghost messengers sent to guard the gates of ghosts, and they have inherited this important responsibility from generation to generation.

Half of the members of this family are in the sun room on the side of the gate.Half of them are in the underworld on the other side of the gate. You can only meet each other during the three festivals of Qingming, Winter Solstice and July and a half. It's a bit like visiting relatives between South Korea and North Korea.

These ghost messengers surnamed Niu and Ma are dignified civil servants in the underworld and enjoy all the treatment that civil servants should have.At the same time, they often each have a decent human social identity—doctor, teacher, white-collar worker, businessman…the list goes on.

Yes, because the gate of hell is only open at night, so these civil servants also work at night.Just lie down on the bed and wait for the soul to go out of the body, and then you can go to work. When you wake up the next day, it just seems to be a hard dream, and it will not particularly affect your work and life during the day.

What a good job, you can earn money while lying down. Of course, the person who does this job must be courageous, and the most important thing is that the money earned is stored in the bank of the underworld, and can only be spent after death .
