Chapter 74: Going Yin
Su Chen knew why the middle-aged woman and the big mouse didn't let the little girl get close here, for fear that the little girl would become a ghost.
No matter how innocent the little girl is, if she sees her bones being discarded in the mountain stream, she will inevitably have resentment, and this resentment will slowly intensify, and when it reaches a certain level, she will turn into a ghost.
Inside the wooden house!
Su Chen put the oiled paper cloth on the ground, and then took out an incense burner from the snakeskin bag, placed it on top, and lit the incense stick.
"Su Chen, what are you going to do?"
Everyone kept their questions along the way, but at this moment Chen Xin couldn't help it.
"I'm going to go down to hell. ”
"I'm going to find out where this little girl is. ”
Su Chen didn't hide it, this was the first step he had to do, only by determining the identity and origin of the little girl, could he send the little girl to the underworld to be reincarnated.
Facing a ghost who didn't know his name and didn't know his birth address, Su Chen didn't have any choice, but fortunately, the little girl's bones were still here, and there were bones, and he still had the possibility of trying.
"And how are you going to find it?" Chen Xin asked curiously.
"People have roads, ghosts have ghosts, and about ghosts, it is natural to go to the ghosts of the underworld to ask. ”
After Su Chen heard this, the sound leopard on the side was shocked, and said, "Mr. Su, do you want to go to the yin?"
"Do you still know how to go to the yin?" Su Chen was a little surprised.
"There is a mother-in-law in the town next door, who specializes in interpreting dreams, and any family that is entrusted with a dream by a deceased relative will go to this mother-in-law to ask, and this mother-in-law will ask the deceased, and the people in the town say that this mother-in-law can go to the underworld, and the mother-in-law herself said it. ”
Hearing Yin Leopard's explanation, Su Chen nodded and said that he understood.
Walking Yin is a professional term, the meaning is easy to understand, and walking means to go, which means to go to the underworld.
The underworld is very mysterious, so mysterious that even some of the top masters in the metaphysical world can't go there, except for one type of person, who has the ability to go to the underworld, and is called a netherworld.
Yin walkers are not necessarily very powerful, and even in addition to being able to go to the underworld, they are the same as ordinary people in other aspects, and there are many reasons why they can go to the underworld, but in the words of Old Man Tian, the most common reason is related households.
The underworld and the yang world are two worlds where the well water does not interfere with the river water, but the connection between the two worlds is extremely deep, and some ghosts miss their families, or they have some unfulfilled wishes to tell their families to let them complete them on their behalf.
In order to allow these ghosts to stay in the underworld with peace of mind, the Yin Division made a decision to allow people from the Yang World to go to the Netherworld, but what kind of people can go to the Netherworld is determined by the Yin Division in charge of each area.
This is a fat difference, just like opening a yin shop, but there are many rules for people who walk in the underworld, first of all, they will never reveal their experience in the underworld, and secondly, this kind of person will not leave the city he is in for life, and the approximate range is as big as a county seat.
Because Su Chen has been in the underworld for many years, he has seen the underworld, but in fact, ordinary underworld people can't go to the real underworld at all, they just stay on the periphery of the underworld, and then call the name of the ghost they want to find with the eight characters of their birthday.
"I'm not going to go in the shade. ”
Shaking his head, Su Chen gave Yin Leopard a negative answer, he is not a Yin person, and going to the underworld is no different from looking for death.
But just because you don't go to the underworld doesn't mean you can't see ghosts.
"Put the paper money in a brazier and burn it. ”
Yin Leopard's snakeskin bag contained a lot of paper money, and the brazier was an iron pot taken from the kitchen, and Yin Li took the initiative to get it.
"Su Chen, what can I do?"
Seeing that Yinli was burning paper money, Chen Xin also opened his mouth to ask, Su Chen glanced at her and said, "You go and get four bowls, pour half of the water into each bowl, and then put the bowls in the four corners of the courtyard outside, press a few pieces of paper money at the bottom of the bowl, press as much as you want, but the amount of paper money under each bowl should be equal." ”
"No problem, wrap it up on me. ”
Chen Xin patted his chest and reassured, Su Chen looked at Yin Leopard, Yin Leopard picked up his mobile phone and made a call, and said after half a ring: "Those things are also ready, do you want them to carry them in, or I will go and get them." ”
"Trouble the third uncle, go and get it in, don't let too many people come in here. ”
After hearing Su Chen's words, Yin Leopard didn't say anything more, turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate, and walked back in less than a quarter of an hour, at this moment his hands were full of things, and his left hand was a vegetable basket, and in the whole vegetable basket was a large half-cooked pig's head and some dishes.
Ordinary people worship the three animal sacrifices that their ancestors will use.
On the inside of the right arm is a wooden box, which is almost two meters long but less than ten centimeters thick.
"I asked my family to cook these dishes, according to the ancestors of our family in the past. ”
Pig's head, chickens, ducks and geese, and several dishes, Su Chen was very satisfied, and at this moment, after Yin Li burned the paper money again, he also cleaned up a table of eight immortals in the house, and Yin Leopard put these sacrifices on the table.
"I bought this wooden box from Liu Laohan's shop, I told him your request, Mr. Su, and he gave me this wooden box. ”
Su Chen took the wooden box and opened it, and what was placed inside was a paper figure, a lifelike paper figure, if it was to be replaced by someone else, it was estimated that he would be startled the moment he opened it.
Seeing this paper man, Su Chen asked with some curiosity: "Third uncle, how much did Master Liu charge you?"
"A paper figure isn't worth much. Sound Leopard waved his hand, not paying much attention to reply.
"Third uncle, you better tell me the truth. ”
Su Chen didn't believe that this paper figure was not worth much, what he wanted was a paper figure that could carry the yin spirit, this kind of paper figure was not easy to make, first of all, not to mention the technical requirements of the paper man, even the materials were not easy to get.
The normal process of papermaking is to take the material first, then peel off the bark, then soak it in water, and then soften the material, and then carry out steaming, continue to rinse after steaming, so that the impurities are reduced, so that after repeating several processes, finally put the material in the stone mortar and mash it, and then pour it into the paper tank and put it into the water, and wait for the fiber to float completely on the water surface to form pulp, and finally use a fine bamboo curtain to filter a thin layer of paper film in the pulp and take it to dry.
But this kind of paper is still impurities, can not carry the Yin spirit, in order to carry the Yin spirit, first of all, the material must be locust wood, but also must be more than a hundred years of locust wood, followed by the purity must be very high, normal papermaking can extract a hundred pieces, this can only be extracted one.
In addition, this paper cannot be left to dry in the sun, but only allowed to be blown by the natural wind.
With Su Chen's understanding of Liu Shanxi, how could such a painstaking paper man not collect money, it is estimated that not only does he collect money, but the asking price is not low.
"That old man Liu took 8,000 yuan from me. Sound Leopard scratched his head, a little embarrassed.
To be honest, when he first knew the price, he was really taken aback, how expensive is a paper man?
If it weren't for Mr. Su's designation that he would go there to buy it, he would rather go far away and go back to town to buy it.
"The price is ......"
Su Chen didn't know what to say, this Liu Shanxi was really greedy enough, the cost of paper money was about one or two hundred, plus his craftsmanship, three thousand or less was considered a normal price, and the eight thousand was obviously a fraud.
It is estimated that Liu Shanxi also guessed some from his previous questioning, and knew that he might be in a hurry, so he had the courage to report this high price.
"I'll give you this money when the time comes. ”
"Mr. Su doesn't need to be so serious, it's the same when I go out, I just think I'm doing good deeds. ”
In Yin Leopard's opinion, although 8,000 yuan is quite distressing to him, if he can use this to get closer to a master like Mr. Su, then the money is worth spent, he even spent 30,000 yuan, will he care about the 8,000 yuan?
"That's different. ”
Su Chen shook his head, but he didn't insist at this time, and after the offerings were arranged, he placed the paper figure on the left side.
Strange to say, this paper figure is a thin sheet of fluttering, but it can stand there without falling.
After doing some of it, Su Chen glanced at the sky, the sun was already setting at this moment, and the time was almost up.
"You'd better go to the study next door. ”
Su Chen pointed to the door of the study on the side, and the next thing is better not to have too many outsiders present.
This time, Chen Xin didn't say anything, and obediently followed Yinli and Yinbao into the study.
Su Chen was a little surprised that Chen Xin would be so obedient, but what he didn't know was that the reason why Chen Xin was so obedient was because she saw Yin Li also entering, anyway, her main purpose in following Su Chen was to prevent Su Chen from being hooked up with by this woman.
In the hall of the entire house, there were now Su Chen, the big mouse, and of course, the soul of the little girl.
"No matter what you see or hear, don't speak, just sit quietly, and you too. ”
Su Chen said this to the little girl and the mouse, and the little girl nodded very obediently to indicate that she knew, but the mouse was a little reluctant, but after Su Chen's eyes glared, he still nodded his little head.
Seeing that the rat agreed, Su Chen took a bowl, and at the same time poured the ashes of the paper money burned in the iron basin into the bowl, and then walked towards the door, all the way, pouring the paper ashes on the ground all the way, and stretching all the way to the entrance of the courtyard.
When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the paper ashes in the bowl were almost finished, and Su Chen directly put the bowl at the door, but this time it was upside down on the ground.
At the same time, Su Chen put his hands behind his back and read aloud: "The Emperor of the Four Directions, the Divine Monarch, the land number Quartet, the main family prepares wine to welcome the guests, and I hope that the four gods will invite the guests." ”
