Chapter 25: The Soul

The matter was settled so quickly, and Su Dan was very happy.

Dragged Cheng Ming from the mourning hall to another room, where the banquet had already been arranged.

Cheng Ming was slightly stunned, wondering in his heart, is this a long preparation?

After all, Su Dan was on an errand in the yamen, and it was instinct to observe words and looks, and when he saw Cheng Ming's eyes, he knew what he was thinking, and hurriedly explained: "Forgive me, Dao Chief, this is the rule of the village, and red and white ceremonies must be held." Originally, it was intended that the person carrying the coffin would have a full meal, and when he was buried, he would walk smoothly and smoothly. No one expected this to happen, the big guys all ran away, but fortunately, there was still a table left, which was somewhat cold, forgive me! ”

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and asked Cheng Ming to sit down.

Cheng Ming waved his hand and said, "You don't need to be like this, it's not easy for you!" ”

Su Dan sighed: "You still love me!" Knowing that we are on an errand, although we wander around the doors of the yamen every day, they are actually small people, and when they see which chief must not nod their heads, they are careful in their hearts, for fear that they will be offended by being a little careless, and they will be beaten and wear small shoes afterwards. ”

He took the wine jug and poured a glass for Cheng Ming first, then poured himself another glass, raised the wine glass and gestured, and drank it all.

Cheng Ming saw that he was a little sulky, shook his head and took a sip lightly, but did not speak.

"Dao Chief, thank you for your help, otherwise my father may not have something to do here, and after a long time, maybe even our family will be kicked out by the village! The most important thing is that you saved my mother's life, which is a great kindness. Boy, I have no intention of repaying it, so I toasted three glasses in a row to express my gratitude. In the future, the Taoist will tell you, Su Dan will not dare to disobey! ”

After speaking, he drank three glasses in a row, and it was so spicy that he could only breathe.

Cheng Ming smiled and nodded on the surface, but secretly gave a thumbs up in his heart.

Sure enough, he is a person from the yamen, and he can speak. It's not easy to be polite and courteous, and make people feel good.

There was a toss on the side of the mourning hall, and after about half a stick of incense, the old lady walked in with her daughter-in-law, and when she saw Cheng Ming, she saluted, "It's up to the Taoist!" ”

Cheng Ming hurriedly returned the salute, "Don't dare, don't dare!" ”

The old lady is a real birthday star, but Cheng Ming is a fake god. If you want the older generation to salute yourself, it is a long life, and Cheng Ming doesn't dare to accept it.

The old lady said: "The old man will be sent away calmly for a long time, the old woman has a sense of guilt, and the family is surrounded by walls, and there is nothing good, so I can only wait for my son to slowly repay your kindness in the future." ”

Cheng Ming didn't even dare to say anything, the old lady smiled and didn't answer, and after telling her son not to snub Cheng Ming, she went out again with her daughter-in-law.

Su Dan took in two more glasses of wine, and then asked, "Dao Chief, what's going on with my father's situation?" ”

Cheng Ming thought for a moment and asked, "Is the situation that happened before the same as today?" ”

"It's almost identical!" Su Dan said: "It's all a dead old man, an old lady who came back to call." Fortunately, my mother has been deadlocked, ignoring what my father says. If you can't stand the persuasion and dress up, I'm afraid you'll be lying next to the coffin by now! ”

Cheng Ming looked down at the palm of his hand, where a card was floating.

There is no card album inserted, it is transparent in the eyes of others, and only Cheng Ming himself can see it.

In the center of this card, the phantom of Old Man Su is floating.

Is this the soul?

But why can't you sense special powers? Isn't that about that?

"Maybe the old couple is deeply affectionate and unwilling to go alone!" Cheng Ming shook his head: "This thing is weird, it's the first time I've seen it, so I'm not sure." I'll look into it later, and I'll get back to you in two days! ”

Su Dan had nothing to do, and begged: "Dao Chief, I just ask you to follow the funeral procession and suppress the evil spirit, in case there is another accident in my father's place!" ”

Cheng Ming was originally curious, so he naturally agreed.

Su Dan thanked him for his kindness, frequently persuaded him to drink, and then boasted vigorously that Cheng Ming was strong in magic and was the first person to arrive at home.

made Cheng Ming cry and laugh, as long as he didn't spend money on it, he could throw out any good words.

According to the rules, Old Man Su is going to be buried today, and after such a fuss, it is almost auspicious.

The crowd did not dare to delay, and knocked on the door of the neighbor one after another, and called a few bold coffins.

When she went out, the old lady begged Cheng Ming to read the scriptures.

Cheng Ming was a little dumbfounded, and after rummaging through the exchange system for a long time, he found a suitable scripture book, sealed it in the card, and hovered in front of his eyes, reading the scriptures loudly while looking at the book.

Scattered the money along the way, carrying the coffin in front, followed by the family of the filial son, crying all the way to the cemetery.

Su Dan came to ask Cheng Ming to preside over the burial.

Let Cheng Ming refuse, and on the grounds that it was unlucky to change the general, let him get the previous lieutenant back.

Finally the process is carried out.

Villagers are married and funeral, although they are not as particular as the eunuchs, they also have their own set of rules, and one procedure after another has been followed, and the sky has been darkened.

Su Dan attracted everyone to thank him, and Cheng Ming took the opportunity to resign.

The family was again thankful.

Cheng Ming's heart was full of emotion, and the folk customs were simple.

---

Out of Sujiazhuang, Cheng Ming couldn't hold back anymore, directly took out the seal card, took a step forward, and the whole person entered the sealing space.

Old Man Su's soul was suspended there quietly, stunned, as if he had Alzheimer's disease.

Cheng Ming slowly approached, and his soul didn't react at all.

He tentatively touched it with his hand, and went straight through it, bringing out a trace of gray gas.

"Old man Su!"

Cheng Ming screamed, but still didn't respond.

This made him scratch his head a little, what the hell is going on? Could it be that this is just one of the three souls and seven spirits, so he is delirious?

Or is it that after a person dies, his soul is muddy and he has no IQ at all.

But if so, how did the legends of those resentful ghosts come about?

After a careful observation, Old Man Su's body was constantly floating with a slight gray qi, which meant that his soul was dissipating.

Is this going to die?

Reaching out and attracting the escaping ash qi into his hand, it formed a ball, and after a closer look, he had no clue at all.

Touching his chin and thinking about it, he suddenly had a flash of inspiration, and a little thought came out of the tips of his fingers, and he gently poked it on the gray ball.

This time it's terrible, just like a tofu in brine, there is a violent chemical reaction.

The gray ball, which could only be seen just now, instantly turned into a pitch-black solid ball.

The orb exudes an incomparably familiar atmosphere.

"Is this a Nian Beast?"

Cheng Ming's eyes widened in disbelief.

After a moment's hesitation, choose energy absorption.

The exchange point skyrocketed, and the pitch-black orb narrowed and soon vanished.

Glancing at the increasing number of exchange points, Cheng Ming had a feeling of excitement.

"This ...... It's pie in the sky, but it's a bit immoral......"
