Chapter 24: Nourishing the Soul
"The soul returns, Chen Menghan..."
In the end, I still went to collect Chen Menghan's soul according to what Liu Laodao said, collecting souls is a bit similar to shouting souls, but there are also some differences, shouting souls is mainly for children who have lost their souls to take them back, and I want to collect Chen Menghan's souls that are about to disperse.
I took a bowl filled with water, and then took a chopstick, and kept circling around the ghost building that had been burned to ashes, and every time I turned around, I had to shout Chen Menghan's name once, and after shouting, I knocked the bowl, and then poured a little water, and silently recited Chen Menghan's birthday in my heart, so as not to receive the wrong soul.
If the soul collection is successful, the bowl in my hand will shake, and it will feel like the bowl is filled with something, and if the water is poured and this phenomenon has not happened, then it means that the soul collection has failed.
I walked around the ghost building again and again, and every time I poured water, I only poured a little bit of water, hoping that Chen Menghan would come back soon, but more than an hour passed, and Chen Menghan still did not appear.
This made me muttered in my heart, it wouldn't be that Liu Laodao was right again, Chen Menghan was hurt too deeply by Boss Chen, and she was so cold that she couldn't tell who was calling her so she refused to come out.
Seeing that there was only a small half of the water left in the bowl, a cold sweat broke out on my head, what if I failed to collect my soul, I would feel guilty for the rest of my life, I have to be a man to repay my kindness, Chen Menghan saved me several times, if she is allowed to disappear like this, my conscience will be very disturbed.
"Chen Menghan, wife, I'm Liu Jinyang, my soul is back..."
So as soon as I gritted my teeth and stomped my feet, I also believed Liu Laodao's nonsense, added a little material when collecting the soul, and treated Chen Menghan as his wife.
Strange to say, I shouted it twice, and when I thought it was still not good, the bowl in my hand shook so much, as if there was a little more thing in the bowl, and the water in the bowl had something shiny.
I was overjoyed, but no one drank this water, so I poured the water into the soul-nourishing wood, and the water seemed to have been poured into the thirsty land, and it didn't fall to the ground at all, it was all absorbed by the soul-nourishing wood.
"Husband"
Suddenly, there was a soft cry in my ears, my whole body trembled, and I scolded in my heart, dead old man, I was killed by you now, I think I may not be able to get rid of Chen Menghan for the rest of my life.
··········
After collecting the soul, I rode my bicycle back to the broken temple, and as soon as I arrived in front of the broken temple, I saw several cars there, and immediately I was angry and went up, because these cars belonged to Boss Chen, is this bastard here to kill his mouth?
I touched the knife on my body, hid it in my clothes, I grabbed the handle of the knife, and then walked in with a gloomy face, but in the small courtyard in front of the broken temple, I saw Liu Laodao and the old god sitting on a Taishi chair, but it was Boss Chen, kneeling in front of Liu Laodao, beside Boss Chen, piling up a lot of money, casually sweeping, I estimated that it was at least more than 100,000.
This money is the most money I have ever seen, these years I and Liu Laodao's life is not good, Liu Laodao has no land, and he can't farm at all, I have some fields under my name, but I have always been young, the work in the field can't be done at all, our only livelihood is to help people do white things as coffin boys to earn some money, barely maintain food and clothing, life is miserable.
But at this time, I don't have any greed, that pile of money is like a pile of dung in my eyes, it stinks, and I can figure out what Boss Chen is doing with my toes.
"Come back, find a stool to sit on, and listen to what Boss Chen has to say."
Liu Laodao saw me, smiled at me, and then said, I silently went to bring a stool, and then sat next to Liu Laodao.
"Uncle Liu, I was wrong this time, I was really wrong, I shouldn't have been fascinated and listened to their nonsense..."
Boss Chen cried tears and snot, and told the cause and effect of this incident, it turned out that what Li Sanye said last night was not all wrong.
Although this Boss Chen is the richest man in Qinghe Town, he only has one daughter under his knees, and those illegitimate children circulating outside are also fake, or they are not his, this Boss Chen was also very good to Chen Menghan before, and treated him as a daughter in the palm of his hand, but the fact that he has no son is a thorn in his heart.
The folk customs in this area of Qinghe Town are quite simple, but there are also a lot of bad habits, and there are still people who eat out of households a few years ago, and the saying that no son is cut off is even more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
This Boss Chen's age is not young, he has not given birth to a son over the years, and even his daughter has not had another one, which makes Boss Chen very worried, he can't afford to be cheap for others when he has such a big property, he used to think that there was still a chance to be young, but the past two years have made him gray hair.
So in the past few years, in addition to going to major hospitals around the country to check his body, he has also begun to ask God and Buddha, and all kinds of folk remedies are indispensable, until not long ago, he met a master in the field, that is, that Qin Ye.
Qin Ye has a very good reputation outside, many people believe in him, Boss Chen was also introduced by a friend, Boss Chen didn't say anything about giving birth to a son at first, but fortune telling, then Qin Ye is not ambiguous, according to Boss Chen's eight characters, even if it is calculated, the things he said in the end can surprise Boss Chen, because what he said is not at all, and there are even some things that only he knows.
Boss Chen knew that he had met a master, and he didn't hold it anymore, no matter what he was thinking, he wanted to ask for a son.
After thinking about it for a while, Qin Ye told Boss Chen that he had no children under his knees, and that was because the blessings of his descendants were all blocked by one person, this person was Chen Menghan, and the daughter of someone else's family was Zhaodi, and she was a hindrance brother, and there was no way to do it.
This can make Boss Chen worried, but there is no way at all, you can't kill Chen Menghan, but then Qin Ye has another idea, that is, to send Chen Menghan away.
It is not to give it to others as a child daughter-in-law, but to send it abroad, thousands of miles away, the impact is small, maybe there is still a little opportunity, Boss Chen agreed without much thought, after all, going abroad is an impossible thing for the people in Qinghe Town, but he is not a difficult thing, money, Boss Chen is not lacking.
After returning home, Boss Chen said that he was sending Chen Menghan abroad, the reason was to train Chen Menghan, saying that domestic education is not good, anyway, he will go abroad to study in college in the future, it is better to go out as soon as possible, and he can adapt as soon as possible and receive a Western aristocratic education.
And Chen Menghan's first reaction was naturally to refuse, she had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, and her hands were not touched by the spring water, although she was excellent in character and learning, but her life ability was not strong, and more importantly, when she thought that she was going to a foreign country alone, she would inevitably be afraid and frightened, so she didn't want to go at all.
But this time it was useless for Chen Menghan to refuse coquettishly, Boss Chen was determined to send Chen Menghan away, and in the end, the father and daughter quarreled and broke up unhappily.
Chen Menghan went out for a walk in sadness, and he didn't know how to get to the Qinghe River, and then finally fell into the water and drowned, and Boss Chen's first reaction when he heard the news was not sad, but surprise, did he even get rid of sending him out of the country.
So he called that Qin Ye again and spent a lot of money to invite him to come, but this time Qin Ye told Boss Chen a shocking news.
He told Boss Chen that Chen Menghan drowned, and his resentment was too great, even if he gave birth to a son in the future, he would not be reconciled, his son would be very dangerous, Boss Chen naturally refused to give up, and hurriedly asked Qin Ye if there was a way to solve it.
Qin Ye told Boss Chen that when he was looking at the ancestral tomb of the Chen family, he saw a fierce place next to it, and the so-called fierce place is naturally a dangerous place, this kind of place, but any feng shui master of a certain level will not choose this place as a grave.
But Boss Chen can do the opposite this time and bury people here, which is not only beneficial to Boss Chen's descendants and descendants, but also a windfall, of course, the price is not nothing, with Boss Chen's life, he can't stand this life, so who can bear it, that is Chen Menghan.
That Qin Ye gave Boss Chen an idea, kill eight people, and then find someone to bury alive, use the feng shui formation to pour all their grievances into Chen Menghan, and refine Chen Menghan into a resentful corpse, all the suffering was suffered by Chen Menghan, this is one person suffering, and the whole family enjoys happiness.
That Boss Chen was also confused, not only did he not refuse this evil method, but agreed to it, so he bought Li Sanye to murder the remaining coffin bearers, why kill them, it is because the coffin bearers are poor haha, not poor will not do this.
The above is the general process of the matter, but it is not like this in Boss Chen's mouth, in his mouth, he was wronged by him, and everything was instigated by others to do it, it was the Qin Ye who came up with the idea, and it was the Qin Ye who asked Li Sanye to kill, he has now repented, and he wants us to forgive him for doing something wrong.
Listening to Boss Chen's words, my heart is full of appetite, I am worthy of being the richest man in Qinghe Town, I can say that I can live if I die, and my mouth is powerful enough.
However, we were unmoved, but the soul nourishing wood on my body shook violently, and the originally cold soul nourishing wood was already as cold as ice at this time, and the resentment was almost coming out of my body.
