The night was quiet, and the sneaky moonlight reflected on the paper shop, plating the entire paper shop with a layer of ghostly light, making the whole paper shop sneaky.

The old man looked at the toad on the ground calling at him, and for some reason, the old man suddenly had tears in his eyes and cried: "Son, is it you?" It's you're back, isn't it! ”

Folk rumors say that after a person dies, he will become a variety of animals, some say that a person will become a butterfly after death, or a variety of animals, when you see a butterfly flying into your home, do not hit him, because it is likely to be your relatives.

Of course, although these folk legends have no justice, but the people believe it very much, the old man looked at the toad on the ground, he was not afraid of people, and shouted at himself, which made the old man's heart sour, and he actually picked up the toad on the ground with his hand, and then entered the house.

This thing is strange, after the toad was picked up by the old man, it did not flash or move, but obediently stayed in the hands of the old man.

However, after seeing the toad, the old man took the toad into the house, closed the door, put the toad on his body, and began to chatter: "Son, you also know that you come back to see Daddy, I know that you have rules in the underworld, and today happens to be your first seven, so you come back to see Daddy......"

"By the way, son, your first seven souls are not ghosts to escort, oh! Are you afraid that your father won't see you, or that your father will give you the paper money you burned, and you will take it and explain the bull head and horse noodles, so they let you come back alone, so you will possess this toad and come back to see your father. ”

Of course, it is impossible for the toad to speak, but he just stared at the old man with wide eyes, and after the old man finished speaking, the toad "croaked", as if he was replying.

This night, the old man did not sleep, and chatted with the toad all night, until more than three o'clock in the morning, suddenly the temperature of the paper shop plummeted, making the old man shiver, feeling a little cold, holding the toad into the house, said: "Son, let's go into the back room and say, since you left, Dad misses you, and has a lot to say to you." ”

The first seven souls, however, tonight happens to be Bai Fan's soul night.

There has always been such a funeral custom among the people, and after death, people wake the spirit for three days, and then go out for the funeral. On the seventh day after the death of the deceased, the soul will be returned, which is commonly known as the first seven.

The funeral customs of the Chinese are customary to believe that the "first seven" refers to the seventh day after the death of a person. It is generally believed that the soul of the deceased will return home on the "first seven", and the family should prepare a meal for the soul of the deceased before the soul returns, and then avoid it, the best way is to sleep, and if you can't sleep, you should hide under the bed. If the soul of the deceased sees his family, it will make him remember it, and it will affect his reincarnation. It is also said that when the family returns home on the seventh day of the first day, the family should burn a ladder-shaped object at home, so that the soul can follow the "ladder" to the sky.

The first seven soul nights are usually escorted back by the bull-headed horse face or the bad ghost, and this time it was the bull-headed horse face who escorted Bai Fan back.

After Bai Fan came back, he saw that there were incense wax paper candles in the corner of the paper shop, as well as wine and meat, and said to Niu Tou Ma Mian: "Two big brothers, this is some wine prepared by my father, it is really not a tribute, you can eat and drink as much as you like." ”

Ox head and horse face all the way up with white sails, feel dry mouth, hungry in the stomach, one of the bull head body, two feet of cow hooves, strong and strong, holding the steel hairpin ghost, it is the head of the cow, he looked at the tribute on the ground, said: "Count your family can be a man, it just so happens that our two brothers are also hungry, eat and drink here, you can go into the house to visit your relatives." ”

Bai Fan was overjoyed when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "Thank you two big brothers." ”

Bai Fan went into the house, but his father was sitting on the bed with his back to him, and he was muttering alone, which made Bai Fan feel very sad, and he thought, Dad must have missed me too much, and he was talking to himself alone.

At this time, Bai Fan walked towards his father, and saw that his father was holding a toad in his hand, this toad's eyes flashed with blue light, which frightened Bai Fan, you must know that Bai Fan was killed by Shishen before, although Bai Fan didn't know what kind of goblin the toad in his father's hand was, but he also knew that it was definitely not a good kind.

Seeing this, Bai Fan rushed out of the back room and asked Niu Tou Ma Mian to save his father, but Niu Tou Ma Mian and Niu Tou Ma Mian were so good at wine that they drank several times that they fell asleep and couldn't wake up.

At this moment, Bai Fan was anxious, and for some reason, he actually floated out of the house and wandered on the street.

On the street, Yu Blind Man walked all the way, and he always felt faintly uneasy in his heart, on the one hand, after the black zombie was hit by Black Impermanence's palm, he suddenly disappeared, but for some reason, Yu Blind Man unknowingly came here.

"Maybe it's providence that makes it so, and Old Man Rong is a hexagram."

Yu Blind stretched out his right hand and kept pinching his fingers, and after a while, Yu Blind frowned and said to himself: "The heavenly stem is evil every seven, and the earthly branch is every seven for rushing." The earth branch takes seven places for the rush, and the heavenly stem takes seven places for the meaning of evil. Such as meridian hedging, seven numbers from the meridian to the meridian, A Feng Geng is evil, A to Geng seven numbers, seven variables! ”

"Who~"

Suddenly, the blind man Yu pulled out the peachwood sword on his back, shouted loudly, frightened Bai Fan miserably, looked at the blind man in front of him, and said, "You are not blind, can you see me?" ”

Yu Blind Man's ears moved, and he slowly approached Bai Fan's soul, raised his eyebrows, and said, "Tonight is your soul night?" ”

"That's right!"

"That's right, that's where variable seven comes in."

"You blind man, who are you, why can you see me if your eyes are not blind?"

"I am blind and not blind in heart."

After hearing this, Bai Fan no longer wanted to pay attention to the blind man, so he turned around and left, but the blind man chased after him, but Bai Fan said angrily: "You blind man, what are you doing with me?" ”

"The old man calculated a hexagram just now, something big will happen tonight, and it is by your side."

When Bai Fan heard this, he was suddenly startled and said, "Are you a Taoist priest?" ”

"Yes."

Bai Fan was overjoyed in his heart, and told the strange toad in the room to Yu Blind, and after hearing this, Yu Blind Man was suddenly startled and said, "It's not good, that guy is a Qinglong-style god, hurry back!" ”

When the two of them saw Yu Blind, they trembled with fright and murmured, "When will the Heavenly Master come!" ”

As soon as the blind man heard this voice, he knew that it was a bull's head and a horse's face, and the cheeky man smiled without a smile: "There are demons in the house, don't you care?" ”

"Heavenly Master spare your life, our two brothers have low mana, no more prosperous than the black and white impermanence brothers, but they are just eating in the underworld."
