It is indeed very easy to use the Guiyou card to suck blood and seduce souls.
Because a condemned prisoner will go to the execution ground carrying a crime sign. It will not be until he is beheaded that the executioner will take off the crime sign and throw it on the ground in front of the prisoner.
As the prisoner's head is chopped off, blood spurts out from the neck, often splattering the crime cards.
And if this guilty card really has some kind of soul-seducing ability, it can indeed seize the prisoner's soul at the moment of death without being noticed by others.
But Qin Shaoyou thinks it is impossible to say that Guiyou Pai became a demon by sucking blood and trapping souls.
Because after a prisoner is killed, if relatives and friends help collect the body, the police officer will burn his guilt card.
And if no one comes to collect the body, the guards will bury the prisoner's body in a mass grave, and the prison card will serve as a tombstone and be inserted at the head of the grave.
In most cases, because there is no coffin to restrain the prisoner's body, as the smell of blood spreads, it will be dug up and eaten by wild dogs and hungry wolves within a few days, and the crime sign will be destroyed.
The people in the yamen, especially those involved in the subject of torture and killing, all know that if the artifacts are contaminated with human blood, life and resentment for a long time, they will undergo supernatural changes, and even turn into monsters.
So they have always paid great attention to these aspects.
Not to mention the fact that the Guiyou Pai is not reused, even the Ghost Head Sword and some torture instruments will be sent to the temple every once in a while and placed in front of the Buddha for the monks to chant sutras to avoid changes.
From this point of view, even if Guiyu Pai absorbs human blood, human soul, and is contaminated with the resentment and hostility at the moment of death, it is only once and there is no way it can become a monster.
If you really want to become a demon, isn't the chance of the Ghost Head Sword greater than that?
So, maybe there is something else going on here?
Either it is the demon who enslaved Shen Bin and fragrant his soul. He is not really guilty of the crime, but just changed into this appearance to numb and deceive people.
Either there is some special reason or external influence that turns the guilty card into a monster.
"External influence..."
Qin Shaoyou frowned slightly and couldn't help but think of the 'Enoki mushroom monk' and 'see the master tomorrow'.
Since this mysterious monk can enlighten the tiger and Ruan Xiangxiang into demons and spirits, and 'transform' the guilty cards into demons and ghosts, it is not impossible.
Of course, Qin Shaoyou just made a casual guess.
It's impossible that behind every incident, behind every demon and ghost, there are traces of that mysterious monk, right?
Is he that free?
Or is it that he is obsessed with being the godfather of demons and ghosts, so he goes around enlightening demons and cultivating party members?
Qin Shaoyou guessed so much, but in fact it was only a short period of time.
During this period of time, the guilty card was firmly inserted behind Xiang Piaopiao.
Qin Shaoyou noticed that Xiang Piaopiao's expression was a little painful. It was obvious that this mistake made her feel very uncomfortable.
However, although Xiang Piaopiao was in pain, she did not dare to struggle or resist at all, she just gritted her teeth and endured.
It can be seen from this that the Guiyou card must have some special means to make the enslaved ghosts obey orders.
When the guilty card was completely inserted, Xiang Piaopiao breathed a sigh of relief, and the pained expression on his face eased.
She raised her right hand and waved lightly towards the courtyard door.
His hand did not touch the courtyard door, but the courtyard door, which was locked from the inside, slowly opened with a muffled creaking sound.
In the fragrant residence, Lai Cha and others were sitting in the main room.
They had been tormented all day, and by late night, they were all tired, sleepy, and in pain, but even so, no one dared to close their eyes and sleep.
They had witnessed Xiang Piaopiao's death with their own eyes, and none of them wanted to have 'Shen Bin' touch the door, blow on him, and cut off his head after he fell asleep.
Although Lai Cha and the others were the only ones in the hall, there was no night watchman watching over them, and their hands and feet were not tied up with ropes.
But they had no intention of escaping.
Because I dare not.
In the evening, when Lai Cha and others saw that the night watchmen were not binding and guarding them, they thought they had an opportunity and sneaked out of the house to escape.
Before escaping, they clearly saw that there was no one outside.
But when they escaped from the yard, they found themselves surrounded.
Like a magic trick, the night watchman came out with a snap and surrounded them. There was also a man who asked them playfully, "Are they surprised or not?"
If it weren't for the fact that these night watchmen all carry knives and are not easy to mess with, several idle men would have wanted to spit and curse: "Surprise, surprise, you are a bitch."
Although they did not dare to curse, they were still beaten up and then thrown into this room.
Still no one was guarding him, and he was still not tied up.
But Lai Cha and others learned their lesson and knew that the night watchmen were hiding in the dark and watching, so they did not dare to escape again.
After all, my butt is still burning and painful.
Not daring to escape or sleep, Lai Cha and the others suffered terribly.
They can only find something to talk about to keep themselves awake and not doze off.
As they chatted, they started complaining to each other.
"Lai Cha, it's all your fucking fault. If you hadn't suggested doing the Immortal Dance, we wouldn't have ended up like this."
"Fuck your mother, Sun Laosan, why didn't I see you say these things when we shared the money before? Every time we shared the money, you were the one who made the most noise. Now when something bad happens, you blame me? You Are you sorry? Do you have such a face? Besides, I only proposed the Immortal Dance at the beginning, and I didn’t ask anyone to kill people. It’s because you are afraid that people who have been robbed of money will report it to the officials and insist on silencing them. If you just do the Immortal Dance to seek money, why don’t you do it? You will be sentenced to death, and you will not be provoked by monsters. If you are to blame, you are also to blame!"
"Bah, even though you didn't explicitly tell us to kill people, you were hinting to us that if the person who was robbed reported it to the police, we would definitely be arrested, and then we thought of killing people... Ah, I
I know, you have been plotting against us from the very beginning!"
After a fruitless quarrel, someone else stepped forward to act as a mediator and persuade both parties to the quarrel.
After admonishing and persuading, the person who acted as a reasonable guest suddenly changed the topic and said to Lai Cha in a serious voice: "Lao Lai, if there really is a demon coming to judge and demand life, you should take the initiative to admit all your sins.
.In this way, even though you die, your brothers can live. Every year on Qingming Festival and the anniversary of your death, we will burn paper money for you."
This statement immediately got the approval of several other idle men, who all echoed: "Yes, yes, we will burn more paper money for you when the time comes, to ensure that you have enough. We can also burn seven or eight maids for you, and ensure that all of them are tied up."
It’s very beautiful.”
It’s a pity that Lai Cha didn’t do it: “Why should I admit all my sins?”
A few idle men chattered:
"You are the mastermind. You must have committed an unpardonable crime and will be sentenced to death by the devil. You are going to die anyway, so why not give your brothers a way to survive."
"That's right, we people can only be regarded as accomplices at best, and our crimes are relatively minor. If you can admit more guilt, we might be able to be let go by the monster."
"Lao Lai, just admit all your sins. If your brothers can escape this disaster, your incense and sacrifice will definitely not be cut off. They can even adopt a son with your surname to continue the incense of your Lai family.
"
However, no matter how many benefits these idle men promised, Lai Cha refused to agree.
"Fart, I still don't understand you? You all say nice things. If I were dead and you were still alive, would you burn incense and paper money for me? With that money, you must have used it to drink and play around. How can you still think of me?
You want to adopt a child to me? You simply want to steal my inheritance! Let me tell you, you want me to take all the blame? No way! If we die together, no one can live an illegitimate life! Who makes our relationship good? Yes
Brothers must die together!"
Seeing Lai Cha being so uncooperative, several idle men suddenly became furious and wanted to surround him and beat him until he was obedient.
But at this moment, they suddenly heard a heavy, dry, scalp-numbing 'crunch' sound coming from the yard.
It was as if something pushed open the courtyard door.
The idlers instantly became quiet, and none of them dared to express their anger.
