Looking for you in reincarnation

Chapter 325 Refining Bone Beads

Si He supported Ning Ji and walked closer to the house. She said to the man, "I want to do business with you."

Her voice was cold, but still pleasant to the ear.

The two men walked into the lobby, and their faces became immediately visible.

Ding Mu was stunned when he saw the girl's face. He had never seen such a beautiful girl. Even though she was wearing plain clothes, it couldn't hide her stunning appearance.

But next to this girl is an old man with white hair? Calling him an old man is not quite right, it can only be said that he is an elderly man. Is this her father?

Ding Mu came back to his senses, looked at the two of them silently, and asked, "What's the deal?"

Are there still people doing business in the crematorium these days?

At this time, Ning Ji spoke up and said calmly, "Burn the body."

Ding Mu looked at the two men in confusion, feeling a little puzzled. Although some people would usually send corpses for cremation and they could also get some money, he inexplicably felt that the purpose of these two people coming here should not be simply to burn corpses?

"Xiao Ding, what's wrong?" At this time, an old man came out from the inner room, his small eyes showing shrewdness, and he looked at the person carefully.

"Master, they said they were here to do business and wanted to burn the body."

The old man didn't find it strange when he heard this. He guessed that maybe there was a troublesome corpse and they were asked to help carry it to be burned. This kind of thing had happened before.

But Ning Ji's next words made the two of them open their eyes wide, and both looked incredulous.

Are you going to burn the body and give them the ashes to play with?

Is this something humans do?

This is desecration of a corpse!

But! The money is quite a lot. Helping to burn a corpse will earn you fifty taels of silver!

Normally, they would only get a few taels of silver for cremating a corpse, and no more than ten taels at most. Moreover, there were not many jobs of cremating corpses. Now, fifty taels per corpse is really a lot!

The old man has been working in this business for so many years and has never received such a high reward!

So, of course, I agreed immediately!

The only troublesome thing is to get a few corpses over. However, this is easy to solve. There are plenty of corpses in the charity cemetery next door. All we have to do is give some benefits.

Although the old man was curious about the hobbies of these two people, he still entertained them warmly. Burning one body would cost fifty taels, so if he burned a few more, they wouldn't have to worry about food and drink for the next few years!

Ning Ji threw fifty taels of silver to the old man, and the old man couldn't wait to order his apprentice to work and do it according to Ning Ji's instructions.

Coincidentally, there was a body in the lobby ready to be cremated.

Before the cremation, Ning Ji lifted the black cloth on the plank bed, and a horrifying male corpse came into view.

The corpse had a grayish-blue face, black lips, obvious lividity on the skin, and blue-black nails. It looked like the victim had died of poisoning, but that was not the case.

If you look closely, you can vaguely see a faint black aura on the surface of the corpse's skin. It is very subtle and not obvious. In addition, the lighting in the lobby is not that good, so if you don't look carefully, it is really difficult to find.

There was a piece of talisman paper pasted on each of the four corners of the bed, and a talisman was also drawn with cinnabar under the bed where it was not visible to prevent the corpse from mutating and had a suppressive effect.

The old master and his disciple glanced at the two men at the same time, and their expressions were amazing. The two men had calm expressions, as if they were used to seeing such corpses.

It is not surprising that an older man is knowledgeable, but it is really surprising that a young girl also behaves like this.

"I wonder what happens to this body?" the old man asked.

If that doesn't work, I have to ask my apprentice to go to the charity cemetery next door to get a corpse. After all, this corpse is different and I don't know if it will suit the two of them.

Ning Ji said calmly, "Yes."

After hearing this, the old man quickly asked his apprentice to move the body to the incinerator. However, before cremation, according to Ning Ji's request, they removed all the clothes and shoes on the body.

The master and the disciple couldn't help but mutter a few words in their hearts, but for the sake of money, they still did as they were asked.

Si He stayed in the lobby and did not follow.

The burning lasted for a long time.

During this time, Si He went to bring in the food from the carriage and ate some with Ning Ji in the lobby.

By the time they took out the ashes, it was already afternoon.

Next, Ning Ji took action himself. According to what Zang Nian had said before, he added some medicinal juice and some special powder to the ashes, kneaded them into a bead, and then carved runes on the bead with a needle. Finally, he used the crematorium to condense it.

Si He watched carefully from the side, and the master and apprentice continued to work according to Ning Ji's instructions, but their curiosity grew stronger.

The stove started burning again, but this time the fire was controlled, just like burning porcelain.

Ning Ji and Si He were standing by the stove, watching seriously, which made the master and apprentice beside them feel a little nervous. They had figured something out by now, but they didn't dare to say much and just focused on their work.

After a long time, the thing was finally refined, and a gray-white bead appeared before people.

This bone bead is as big as an oriental pearl, but it has no luster and is a bit rough. It also has a faint gray-black aura, which looks ominous.

When it was ashes before, all the evil aura seemed to have burned away, but now that it has become a bone bead, this aura has reappeared.

The master and disciple on the side looked at the bone bead with serious expressions and did not approach it rashly. At this moment, they felt more and more that the two people were not simple. Who among ordinary people would make such a weird thing?

Si He frowned and looked at the bone beads on the plate. Was this a success or a failure?

She was about to ask, but saw Ning Ji suddenly cover his mouth with his hand and cough uncontrollably!

"Husband."

The two people next to her were extremely surprised when they heard her call. They really didn't expect that these two people were actually husband and wife!

They stared with eyes wide open, somewhat incredulous.

At this moment, Si He hurriedly patted Ning Ji's back, but the next moment, when she saw the blood on his palm, her heart trembled, and then she quickly took out a handkerchief to wipe it for him, and whispered: "It's okay, it's okay..."

I don’t know whether these words are to comfort him or to comfort myself.

She held back her tears and carefully wiped the blood off him. Then she remembered to take out the medicine bottle, poured out a pill, and handed it to his mouth. Her hands were a little trembling, "Husband, take the medicine first."

After Ning Ji stopped coughing, he opened his mouth and swallowed the medicine, then smiled and said to her, "It's okay."

Si He tried hard to raise the corners of his mouth, forced a smile, and responded, "Yeah."

Although he said this, his face looked pale and ugly.

She knew that her smile must be very ugly at this moment.

"Let's go back first."

Hearing him say this, Si He nodded quickly, "Okay."

Si He put the bone bead into a small box, and then she supported Ning Ji and walked out carefully.
