Chapter 34: Lost Soul

Only one night later, the red silk arranged by the He family for the birthday banquet was replaced with white flags, and He An's bones were also placed in the mourning hall. Among the many mourning relatives of the He family, He An's mother Liu cried the most heartily, and her heartfelt wail added a touch of bleakness to this already oppressive atmosphere.

He Ping also looked sad, he burned the paper money, and said to Liu: "Let me ask you, when Jiulang came back last night, he said that he had encountered a ghost, and then I asked you to accompany him, did he say anything to you at that time?" ”

When Liu heard her husband's question, she couldn't help crying aggrievedly: "Husband, I wanted to tell you about this matter before I went to bed last night, but you drank too much wine and became sleepy, so you scolded me for talking too much before I said two words!" Otherwise, if you had come up with an idea earlier and found someone to exorcise evil spirits for Jiulang, Jiurou might not have died! ”

He Ping was stunned and said: "What's going on, you can talk about it quickly!" ”

Liu nodded, and carefully told He Ping what He An said to him last night.

There is an elm forest more than ten miles north of Hejiazhuang, and the elm trees in it are uneven and strange, and dense and abnormal.

Just after noon, He Ping led a large number of Hejiazhuang people here, who kept shuttling through the woods with firewood knives and hoes, as if looking for something. Suddenly, someone shouted, "Second uncle, I found the grave!" ”

"Where?"

"It's right next to the path ahead!"

Picking up the grass, He Ping saw the tombstone that had been beaten by wind and rain, and when he saw the words "Taihe of the Great Wei Dynasty and the twenty-first year of the Twenty-first Year" on the tombstone, he couldn't help but glare: "Yes, it's this one!" Turning his head, he said to a person beside him: "Sixth, is the method you said reliable?" ”

That person is He Ping's brother He Liang, who loves to study the Book of Changes in his life, and occasionally looks at feng shui and measures good fortune for the people in the village.

He Liang said: "Second brother, you believe me in this kind of thing!" According to you and your second sister-in-law, you don't have to think about the culprit who killed Jiulang, it must be a mountain ghost, and I think it is the bones in this mound that are not corrupted, so as long as we dig up the grave and burn the bones, then everything will be fine! In this way, you can avenge Kuro, and you don't have to be careful that it continues to harm people! ”

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" He Ping nodded fiercely, and said loudly to some young people: "Don't be stunned, dig quickly!" ”

There are many timid young people, and they hesitate: "Second uncle, sixth uncle, is it really okay to do this?" ”

He Liang said: "What are you afraid of? At this time I have specially chosen, you look up and see, the sun is thick, it is the peak of yang energy, and all ghosts dare not do it! If you don't dig now, do you have to wait until the evening to dig again? ”

As soon as the young men heard that they were going to dig the grave at night, they were immediately frightened and hurriedly started, and after a while, the soil on the grave was dug several feet deep, and a black coffin also broke through the soil and appeared in front of everyone.

Everyone was surprised when they saw the coffin, but He Liang said, "What I said is true, right? This grave is more than 100 years old, and the coffin has not decayed, so you can imagine that there must be something strange in it! ”

"Sixth Uncle, what should we do next?"

"What else can be done? Pull the body out and burn it, so you can get rid of it! ”

The young men picked up the hammers and pryed the lid of the coffin one after another, and when the lid was pried open, some of the bold ones were the first to look into the coffin, but their faces instantly became strange.

He Ping and He Liang couldn't see what was going on inside the coffin because their vision was blocked, so they asked, "What did you see?" ”

The young men hurriedly opened a gap to let their eyes pass smoothly, but when they looked at it, they saw directly at the bottom of the coffin, only to see that a huge hole had cracked at the bottom of the coffin, and fresh soil had been exposed under the hole, and the coffin was already empty, and the bones of it had long been gone.

He Ping and He Liang glanced at each other, even though the red sun was in the sky at this time, the two still felt a little cold behind them.

The words were divided into two ends, and outside Husu County at this time, the carriage of the Cui family was queuing up to enter the city.

Cui Ye glanced out of the car, turned around and smiled at Cui Yu: "Fourth sister, we will be home soon!" ”

"Hmm." Cui Yu agreed a little weakly.

Zhou Hongxian glanced at Cui Yu, and saw that her face was a little pale, and couldn't help but ask with concern: "Siniang, are you uncomfortable?" ”

When Cui Yu heard Zhou Hongxian's greeting, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she immediately threw herself into her arms, and said in a slightly weak voice: "Sister, I don't know what's wrong with me, I just feel so weak, and as long as I close my eyes, I will always remember the scene in He An's house last night!" ”

When Zhou Hong saw Cui Yu's appearance now, he knew that she had left a shadow in her heart, so he gently held her in his arms and comforted her softly: "Siniang, don't be afraid, things are over, don't think about anything when you go home, just rest well!" ”

Cui Yu was comforted by Zhou Hongxian, and nodded with a slight smile.

The carriage soon arrived in front of Cui's mansion, and when she got out of the car, Cui Yu's appearance looked more and more sleepy, and she was already yawning.

I saw the Lu family in the back house, the Lu family didn't know what happened to several people, and when they saw Cui Yu's appearance, they thought she was tired of traveling and driving, and they didn't care too much, so they only told her to go back to the room to rest. Cui Yu had palpitations, and before entering the house, she proposed to let Zhou Hongxian accompany her, and Zhou Hongxian saw that she was not in good condition, so he agreed.

In order to alleviate Cui Yu's mood, Zhou Hongxian adapted a few funny jokes he heard in his previous life, coaxing Cui Yu to laugh, and it didn't take long for Cui Yu to fall asleep with a smile. At this point, Zhou Hongxian still thought that Cui Yu was simply frightened, as long as she was allowed to sleep well, she should be able to recover. But it didn't take long for the situation to change suddenly, Cui Yu actually started a high fever, and said a slurred babble, her expression in her sleep was very uneasy, as if she was having a nightmare, Zhou Hongxian tried to wake her up, but found that it was to no avail.

Zhou Hongxian began to get nervous, and suddenly thought of a possibility, so she reached out and stroked Cui Yu's forehead, and used her demonic power to visit her soul, but this exploration didn't matter, she was so shocked that she shouted "Not good", because she found that Cui Yu's seven souls were complete, but the three souls were missing one soul.

Taoism has a saying that people have three souls, called fetal light, said cool spirit, said ghost spirit, among which the fetal light is the main lifespan, the cool spirit is the main wealth and wisdom, and the ghost spirit is the main **, and what Cui Yu lacks is the fetal light.

If a person loses the fetus, he will definitely be low in spirit, and his life will not last long, Cui Yu is young, no illness and no disaster, why is this so? Zhou Hongxian speculated a little and came to a conclusion, that is, Cui Yu's fetal light soul was scared away last night.

Zhou Hongxian thought of this, she couldn't sit still anymore, she knew that Cui Yu's soul must have been lost in Hejiazhuang, so she had to rush there immediately to retrieve it, otherwise today is already the next day, if it is two more days, then it will be too late to say anything!

However, Zhou Hongxian was just about to leave, when he heard Lu knocking on the door outside: "Yu'er, are you asleep?" A-Niang just heard Ye'er say that you have encountered a terrible strange thing in Hejiazhuang, A-Niang is worried that you are scared, so I want to accompany you! ”

"If Mrs. Lu sees Siniang's situation, she will definitely have to ask me, without further ado, I don't have time to explain!" Zhou Hongxian thought so in his heart, so he didn't wait for the Lu family to come in and see him, but as soon as he turned around, he turned into a gust of wind and drifted away.

Hejiazhuang is more than thirty miles away from Husu County, and Zhou Hongxian returned here in a few moments, but in order to avoid suspicion in Hejiazhuang, she used a blindfold to hide her figure.

Zhou Hongxian first came to He An's house, because this is the first scene of last night's incident, but also because of the strange thing that happened last night, He An's house has been regarded as ominous by the He family, so he was sealed with wooden boards early this morning, of course, this is not an obstacle for Zhou Hongxian, who is not seen at this time.

It's just that Zhou Hongxian has searched all over the house, and even checked the bottom of He An's bed, but he has not found Cui Yu's soul. Since it was still daytime, it was impossible for Cui Yu's soul to stay in the light, so Zhou Hongxian searched in the shadows inside and outside He Taiweng's house, but the result was still nothing.

After this toss, the sky has darkened again, and Zhou Hongxian's heart has begun to panic, because once it is night, Cui Yu's soul can go to more places, and looking for it again is really like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Si Niang, Si Niang, you are such a good girl, how can I see you die in vain? Don't worry, I won't rest for a moment, and I will find you in two days! When the moon rose, Zhou Hongxian stood on the roof not far from He An's mourning hall and silently swore to the sky.
