Chapter 4: (Lust) People Who Died Inexplicably
"This is a slum area in Luoshihe. Most of them are from Luoshihe who come to Luoshihe to Caikuang. Since they are outsiders, they are just living here temporarily!"
Lin Xuaner walked and introduced me to the gathering place of residents. The buildings in the slums were very simple. Many places were made of low houses made of stones. Strangely, the weather was still early today, but the residential area was already quiet and only the sound of the wind was heard.
"I died here a few days ago, so I am preparing for a funeral!"
"It's normal. Don't the dead people go down?"
I asked, it is normal to die these days. When we were young, in the mountains, there was only one doctor who could do medical skills and was not proficient. If a child gets a little sick, it depends entirely on him. If he gets a good doctor, he will only look like he is not good at it. If he doesn't get a good doctor, he will just let his destiny be. When Lin Xuan'er mentioned this, I was afraid that the person who died would have any wishes and would not want to go on, so we took action.
"It's not that I can't go down, but that I can't go down at all!"
Lin Xuan'er said, her words really surprised me.
"Why can't you get down?"
I asked quickly.
"I've been looking for it these days!"
"Not?"
Xiao Shi and I looked at each other, and saw him nodding, then opened his small eyes and looked ahead, sniffed his nose, and shook his head.
"No spiritual energy at all, the soul is not here"
"Miss Xuan'er, if the soul is not there, the first seven who dies will definitely come back. Even if it is not the first seven, it will not go too far. Why aren't it here?"
I said in confusion. Xiao Shi seemed to be very sensitive to spiritual bodies, and even he didn't have a bromine. This soul must be not in the residential house.
"This is also a question I have always been puzzled about. Today is the first seventh, so I'll take a look. If the first seventh is not back, then it's either trapped or has been wiped out."
I nodded, and I could only do this now, because I didn't know what was going on, so I had to take one step at a time.
Lin Xuaner and I entered the residential area and bypassed a not-so-wide alley. Every household in the residential area hung a red lantern at the door, while one was hung with a white lantern.
We walked to the door of the white lantern, and Lin Xuan'er knocked on the door. Since it was the first seventh, no one came to sit down. The door was closed and there was no light on inside.
"Ga...sque..."
The sound of the door opening was very heavy, as if something was stuck, making a long sound. When the door opened, I suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blowing from my back, and my back suddenly became cold on the hot day.
"Hey, what are you doing? Are you the little immortal from this family?"
Suddenly, a dirty guy suddenly jumped out of his back, his hair was already knotted. Almost the moment he appeared, I pinched his chin, then kicked him on the lower plate, and kicked him down.
"I've killed someone, I've killed someone, Lao Budhi's family is going to kill someone!"
He kneeled on the ground with his legs and made a dull sound, but he didn't feel the pain, but instead shouted at the top of his throat, and the sound of opening the door frequently rang out for a while.
Everyone just pushed open the door and glanced at it, then looked at the man who was kicked down by me, a hint of fear flashed in his eyes, and they immediately pulled the door closed. In front of us, the white light door was suddenly pulled up and a man holding a kitchen knife rushed out.
His eyes were red, his pupils were covered with blood, and his hand holding the kitchen knife was trembling slightly. He shouted loudly and sadly.
"Beast, I'll fight you today!"
Tell me, the kitchen knife in my hand is about to be chopped. The man in my hand looked up and saw the bright kitchen knife. His turbid eyes suddenly lit up.
"I've killed someone, killed someone!"
He suddenly broke free from my hand and ran to the road outside yelling, while the man who rushed out of the room was pulled by Lin Xuan'er.
"Uncle Fang, calm down, calm down!"
"I killed him, a killer. My daughter came every day when she was there, and now she is dead. How can God let such a person live in the world?"
The man named Uncle Fang by Lin Xuan'er was very excited. Although Lin Xuan'er was pulled, he still struggled desperately. When I saw it, I sighed, and a knife slashed behind his head, knocking him out directly!
"No name, this?"
"It's okay, let him sleep, let's go in!"
I took the man from Lin Xuan'er, and I helped him into the house. The layout of the house was very simple, all of which were old-fashioned furniture. The only highlight was that a flower pot was placed on the wall in the house, and the lilies inside were blooming!
It seemed as if we heard us entering the room and slowly walked out of the door, touching the door frame with both hands, and tears in our eyes.
"Dad, don't be impulsive!"
Although her eyes were open, she couldn't move at all. Although she looked like she had normal eyes, she might have lost her function.
"Aunt Fang, you should stay at home!"
Lin Xuan'er hurriedly stepped forward to support the woman, and then helped her out the door.
"It's Xuan'er coming. Did you see the child's father going out? Help me persuade him, you can't do stupid things!"
"Uncle Fang is at the door, and a friend of mine persuaded him to stop him."
Lin Xuan'er lied and at the same time he gave me a look.
"Yes, Uncle Fang is by my side, but he is too tired, so he fell asleep."
"Hey, I'm so tired, so tired. Please help him in and sleep. I haven't closed my eyes for seven or eight days!"
The woman sighed and reached out to touch her in the air, as if she wanted to touch her lover, but she didn't touch her, so she had to put her hand back.
I helped Uncle Fang enter the hall. As soon as I entered the hall, I saw a pretty decent coffin placed in the main hall. There was a brazier in front of the coffin, which contained freshly burnt paper. I guess they were burning paper money for their daughter when we came just now.
After entering the side room, it was very monotonous, with only a wooden bed, and a corner was still supported by stones. This family is already penniless!
After helping Uncle Fang lie down, there was no bedding. I had to cover my coat on him. When I came out, Lin Xuan'er and the woman were sitting outside, and she was comforting her.
I nodded to her, pulled out three incense sticks from the square table, then lit them, and checked around the coffin with them.
The eternal light under the coffin was light and dark, and water flowed down the edge of the coffin. I reached out and lifted the coffin, which was very heavy. Even though I used all my strength, I still remained motionless.
Put the incense into three positions, then walk to the front of the coffin and look backwards towards the coffin. If it is a soul-returning night and the soul is about to come back, there will be a door formed by qi on the coffin to let the ghost look at his body for the last time.
"No need to look at it. Without a door, the spiritual energy will not gather here!"
Xiao Shi stood on my shoulder and said.
"In this case, what are the possibilities for not having the soul?"
I asked Xiao Shi for advice, and I found that this guy who speaks humans seems to know a lot and recites the old Taoist scriptures.
"There are many situations, but I have to open the coffin to see. Now I can't understand the coffin, so I can't tell why her soul cannot come back!"
"I'm afraid it's not OK to open the coffin. After all, it's already in the coffin. It's not because of a relative, so it's unreasonable to open the coffin!"
"Then I have no choice. Hey, I'm hungry, let's have a meal."
After saying that, he pulled his little head and looked listless.
"What are you eating? I'll take you there!"
Because when he was having dinner just now, he didn't participate, but kept sleeping on my shoulder, so it's normal to be hungry now.
"The medicine, or it's corpse qi!"
"Blind? Medicine and corpse gas?"
I was shocked and thought that this guy's recipe was a bit too much. Where can I eat medicine and corpse gas as food in this world? I have never heard of it.
"The medicine I mentioned is fresh herbs, and the requirements for corpse qi are higher. Generally, corpse qi is not eaten because it is useless to me!"
"But where am I going to find medicine for you now?"
I'm so crazy. Where can I get fresh medicinal materials here? There may be dry medicines, but I think there are very few fresh medicinal materials except for the origin of Luoshihe.
"You don't need to look at me with this look. If the longer the medicine I take, the less hungry I won't be hungry. For example, if I eat a thousand-year-old medicinal herb, I can't eat for ten years!"
"It sounds amazing, but where can I find thousands of years of medicinal herbs for you to take? I'll go and take a look later, you can hold it up first."
I gave him a weak look, then walked out, Lin Xuan'er was still talking to the woman. The two were like their old friends, revealing their feelings to each other.
"how's it going?"
When she saw me come out, she immediately asked.
"Come on, I'll ask you something!"
I gestured to her, after all, there were many things that could not be said in front of other people's parents, especially their newly dying daughter.
"Did you see anything?"
At the door of the Fang family, Lin Xuan'er asked me anxiously.
"You have to tell me first, how did she die?"
"I didn't wake up when I sleep in my room at night."
"Not a scar at all?"
"No, when I came, I was going to feed another ghost, but after I came here, I found that someone was dead. But I didn't receive an ultimatum. As the area I managed, if someone died here, the ultimatum would be displayed!"
After saying that, Lin Xuan'er handed me the certificate of the Spirit-Flowering Master. The difference is that mine is black, while hers is red. There is another difference, that is, there is a row of very small words on her certificate of the Spirit-Flowering Master, which records a personal name.
"Is this the one who wants to die?"
I asked at the row of small names. She nodded, then turned over the Spirit Master's Certificate. Behind the Spirit Master's Certificate, her name was carved, and a black name, "Fang Shu".
"This is her ultimatum. Because the soul has not gone down, although it is recorded in the underworld, she is always on the blacklist of the Spirit-Flowering Master when she has not received her soul."
"What will happen if the soul that has been blacklisted goes down?"
"If there is no cause, you will be punished!"
After listening to her words, I don’t have to think about what will happen. After all, I read a lot of villain books from peddlers before, which recorded some ghosts and gods.
"Now I have no clue, I suggest opening the coffin!"
"Open the coffin?"
Lin Xuan'er frowned. I also knew that the requirements were a bit high, but nowadays, I couldn't think of any good ones. I could only open the coffin and let Xiao Shi see it. Maybe it could reach where her soul went.
"I'll take you to her room first. You can't open the coffin unless you have to. This is too disrespectful to the deceased!"
Lin Xuan'er said, I nodded to express my understanding, so I had to walk to Fang Shu's room with her first.
