Chapter 1413 Taboo
In a world like this, the danger of staying alone outside can be imagined. Even if they want to return to this haunted house after nightfall, it is not that easy. .
Time passed by, and the work in everyone's hands was coming to an end little by little, but Lu Qin and Shaotong were still missing. The most important thing was that there was no news at all.
As the night went on, the atmosphere in the room became more and more subtle. Zhang Qizheng tentatively called Lu Qin's mobile phone. The call went through, but no one answered.
The same goes for Shaotong’s mobile phone.
Something happened... everyone can be sure of this, but the question now is whether it was Lu Qin Shaotong who had the accident, or the ones who stayed in the Yin Mansion.
Shaotong Lu Qin does not seem to be someone who is easily tricked. Thinking about it from another perspective, they may have discovered some key clues and know that something will happen in the Yin Mansion tonight.
Looking around, Jiang Cheng focused his attention on the paper bridge, as well as the nearby paper ingots and candles. If something was going to happen tonight, then it would most likely be during this exorcism ceremony for the fat man.
Jiang Cheng looked at Zhang Qizheng, who was frowning, and Tang Qisheng, who was busy beside him, "Mr. Zhang, Mr. Tang, how are you preparing the things you need tonight?"
Tang Qisheng He stood up and wiped the sweat from his cheeks with the back of his hand, "Almost There are more, the paper bridge has been set up, the ingot candles are also prepared, and the water basin is ready-made in the village. Now we just need Miss Li Bai’s paper clothes. By the way, there are also those pairs of boots. We all choose large sizes. I bought it and asked Brother Fugui to try it on later along with the paper clothes.”
At this time, the fat man had also accepted the reality. He squatted on the ground dejectedly, with an expression uglier than death. According to what Yao, Shun, and Yu had just introduced to him, he would soon wear paper clothes and a funeral attire, pretending to be a dead man. Then he had to walk on a paper bridge. Just thinking about that scene made the fat man want to cry.
Jiang Cheng checked the required items one by one and found no problems. Because they were not sure of the fat man’s shoe size, Tang Qisheng and others specially purchased several pairs of boots of different sizes. The boots were made of leather. , it looks very strong, and it is also covered with a thick layer of white paper on the outside.
The things in front of them were all discussed early in the morning, and there were no problems in Jiang Cheng's memory. However, Jiang Cheng just felt that it was not safe. He glanced at these things one by one, always feeling that something was wrong.
It wasn't until he took out the paper in his arms that they recorded the things they needed to exorcise evil spirits. It was left behind by Jiang Cheng. After comparing the two, he finally discovered the problem.
Li Bai, who came to his side, opened his eyes wide and his hair stood up in shock, "How...how could this happen?"
According to the records on the paper, the shoes they need tonight are called "burial shoes", also known as "old shoes" or "funeral shoes". They are usually black cloth shoes, and burial shoes must not be made of fur, and are even more taboo. With leather soles, such shoes will break through the Naihe Bridge and fall under the bridge, and be reincarnated as livestock in the next life.
After seeing the record on the paper, everyone was dumbfounded. Tang Qisheng even rubbed his eyes in disbelief. He personally selected the shoes, and as a folklore researcher, how could he make such a mistake? After making such a mistake, Tang Qisheng looked at Jiang Cheng nervously after a moment, "This...isn't this?" That's my intention! I didn't mean to harm brother Wang Fugui, it's my memory... There's something wrong with my memory!"
"It has nothing to do with you, it's not just you, it's all our memories. Problem." Putting away the paper, Jiang Cheng said with a sullen face, he already realized the problem.
Tang Qisheng didn't lie, someone modified their memory, and it was this false memory that drove them to buy the wrong shoes. He didn't react until he saw the words on the white paper clearly.
“It’s these two guys, Lu Qin and Shao Tong!” Zhu Jie gritted his teeth in hatred, “No wonder they don’t dare to come back, because they know something will happen tonight!”
Zhang Qizheng stomped his feet heavily at this moment, with an undisguised murderous intention on his face, "Wearing such shoes to cross the Yin Bridge, the rich little brother will definitely go there and never come back. Not only that, along this bridge, the other side of the bridge I still can’t tell what kind of ghost is going to come out from one end, Lu Qinshao Tong is not just going for you this time, they want to kill us all!”
“I will kill them when we meet next time!” Yao Shunyu looked at those pairs of leather boots! , the anger in his heart has been suppressed to the extreme, the night watchman really has no good intentions.
Now everything is clear. Lu Qin and Shaotong changed their memories. This ability is not terrible. The first time was at the inn at night, and the second time was last night. Coupled with the fact that today, these two men had changed their memories at least three times, the Night Watchmen were definitely prepared.
As for the purpose, Jiang Cheng had a vague guess that the other party's willingness to spend such a large amount of money was definitely more than just wanting to kill them. There must be a bigger plot behind it, and this plot is likely to be related to them. It’s about so-called memory.
The ability to modify memory made him involuntarily think of Lin Waner, and he conducted a new round of examination of himself. Perhaps it was because Lin Waner had modified his memory too many times, so when facing Lu Qin Shaotong He can only be wary of the false memories he created for himself, and he was also the first to notice that there was something wrong with the things he prepared.
But now is not the time to think about this. How to let the fat man spend the night safely is the top priority. It is obviously too late to buy a pair of mourning shoes now.
"Mr. Zhang, are there any remedial measures now?"
Hearing this, Mr. Zhang pursed his lips and his eyes couldn't help but dim, "The function of mourning shoes and Just like paper clothes, they are all designed to cover up the yang energy of living people. Without mourning shoes, how can living people be normal? An stepped on the paper bridge, let alone sent Gao Yanqing's innocent soul to the underworld on the other side of the paper bridge."
Hearing this, the atmosphere in the room was stagnant for a moment, and the fat man looked at doctor Yao Shunyu and the others with almost despair. His eyes wanted to say a few words of comfort, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't know what to say.
"I have a way, maybe I can try it." After a long silence, Tang Qisheng suddenly said while hesitating: "But there is no guarantee that it will be successful, and the rich brothers will have to suffer some hardships."

"Please tell me!"
"The purpose of wearing mourning shoes is to cover up the yang energy in the soles of a living person's feet. The middle toe of a living person's foot is open to yang and has the heaviest yang energy, so..." Tang Qisheng paused. , looked at Jiang Cheng with somewhat embarrassed eyes.
"So as long as you smash the middle toes of his two feet, you can temporarily cover up the yang energy and make those things mistakenly think that he is a dead person, is that true?" Jiang Cheng asked. (End of this chapter)
