The huge hall was all gray, and the Taoist priests were doing their own thing, and no one was paying attention to us.

"What are they hanging around here?" I asked in passing.

Xu Yijin's tall nose bridge is especially prominent in the night, the curvature of the tip of his nose is perfect, I looked at it for a while, and then lowered my head not to look at him.

"Protect the formation from being destroyed." He smiled lightly: "This banquet is just to draw out the dirty things on Lin Lin's body, if the formation is destroyed, it will be in vain." ”

I nodded and asked, "Are we going to wait here now?" ”

"Of course not."

Xu Yijin led me to a small door, and avoided those Taoist priests with ease, this door was almost a quarter the size of the gate, and only one person could pass at a time, and it could not be left side by side.

The door was locked, and he twisted it with his hand, and soon broke the lock.

He walked in front and never let go of my hand.

"Your lockpicking skills can go outside to pick up work." I closed the door behind closed to avoid the Taoist priests from discovering me.

Xu Yijin couldn't deny a smile.

There was a repaired road outside the ballroom, but it was more of a bumpy path, after all, it was surrounded by mountains.

This place is a suburb, usually not many people come, there is only such a villa within a radius of 100 miles. This villa is often rented to others for events or banquets, so there are still a few street lamps that are not very bright on the road.

He led me up a hill due west, not far from the banquet villa, where there were many paths that had been trodden out. The moonlight shone unabashedly on this piece, but it was barely clear.

I glanced back at the villa, and I could see the path outside the floor-to-ceiling window of the room, and I saw a man standing there, looking in.

It was too far away, I couldn't see his face clearly, but I knew that he was the substitute ghost who was found by the Lin family.

I had a chain on my hand, so I couldn't see anything else. But I knew in my heart that the white-haired thing was destined to be by his side.

I shuddered and said, "He's watching us." ”

Xu Yijin followed my gaze.

"Don't be afraid." He patted the back of my hand in a nutshell, as if he had done it carelessly, but patiently waited for me to ease some of my fears before continuing to walk with me up the mountain.

This time, I didn't have to take the initiative to hold him, I already held his hand tightly.

There are many graves on the mountain, some of which don't even have a decent tombstone, and I walked cautiously for fear of offending any of the dead, worrying that I would step on an inconspicuous grave.

Xu Yijin didn't say much, but the mountain was too silent, so I pulled his sleeve and asked in a low voice, "Why does that thing have a whole body of hair?" ”

"It's too angry." Xu Yijin said.

I was immediately speechless, and I couldn't find any topic, so I simply followed him without saying a word.

He looked at me, stopped abruptly, and came out with a long red rope.

"What is this?" I don't understand.

Xu Yijin grabbed my wrist and tied a knot on my hand with one end of the red rope, and tied a knot on his own hand with the other end.

"I'm afraid you'll encounter a ghost hitting the wall." He said.

I looked down at the ends of the red rope and let out an "oh" sound, grinning unconsciously at the corners of my mouth.

He seemed to notice something, and glanced at me, and I immediately lowered the corners of my lips and pretended to be expressionless.

Xu Yijin did not delay much time and continued to lead the way in front.

The further you go up the hill, the fewer graves there are.

He stopped in front of a lonely grave without a tombstone.

The grave looked like it hadn't been tended to in a long time, and the grave was overgrown with weeds. There are not many tributes left in front of the grave, and it is estimated that many of them have been eaten by the animals on the mountain.

"Is the owner of the two hand prints behind me in this grave?" I asked.

Xu Yijin nodded.

Standing high, the wind was also stronger, there were only a few scattered trees on the mountain, and they couldn't stop anything at all, and the cool breeze rushed straight to me, but I was wearing Xu Yijin's coat, and I didn't feel too cold.

The grave had obviously been tampered with, and the sand on the coffin had been turned over, leaving only a thin layer of sand on the coffin lid.

Xu Yijin used his hands to lift the lid of the coffin. It stands to reason that the lid of the coffin looked thick and heavy, but when it came to his hand, it was easily pushed aside, as easily as pushing away a piece of paper.

As soon as the coffin was opened, the smell of rotting corpses hit my nose.

I covered my nose with my hands and leaned over to look.

An adult's corpse lay inside, probably for too long, the flesh and skin had rotted, and only one skeleton remained.

Looking at the clothes on his body, he should be an adult man.

There was a lot of filth in the coffin, and there were maggots climbing on the corpse, which irritated my eyes and made me sick to my stomach.

I looked at it for a moment, then immediately looked away and asked, "What's next?" ”

A corpse and a ghost are two different things, and even if a corpse is found, it may not necessarily be found with its soul.

"Burn the body." Xu Yijin said that there were no waves.

I was surprised for a moment, and instead of looking at the body, I looked at the edge of the coffin and said, "Just burned?" Wouldn't it be too good? ”

"Anything that goes wrong with the corpse, the ghost can feel it." He took out a lighter with a very high-end shell, rubbed it in his hand, and said, "This is just an ordinary ghost, it doesn't take so much time, and there is no need to delay it until the next day." ”

He put the lighter in my hand.

I held the cold lighter and was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "Do you want me to burn it?" ”

Xu Yijin nodded.

The wood of the coffin is not easy to ignite, so I went to the neighborhood and picked up some wooden sticks, threw them in the coffin, hesitated with my fingers on the switch of the lighter, and asked, "If it burns like this, there shouldn't be any problems, right?" ”

Burning a corpse with my own hands, after all, I'm quite scared.

"I'm here." Xu Yijin's tone softened a little.

Now is not the time to be hypocritical, so I took a breath, swiped the lighter with my thumb, lit the beams of joy on the wooden sticks, and quickly withdrew my hand.

Immediately, a fire burst into the coffin, first a small one, and then an even larger one.

Xu Yijin pulled me back a few steps.

The corpse was covered in flames, and a pungent smell of burning permeated the area.

The coffin should have a fireproof material, and the fire beam cannot pass over the coffin, but only run rampant in the coffin.

After more than ten minutes, it was almost burned, and the flame had a tendency to gradually weaken, the material of the coffin wood was more special, and the wind was strong at night, and the fire should be extinguished when the wind blew for a while.

Seeing a good corpse turn into ashes under my nose, I can't say how scared I am, it's just a little complicated.
