Volume 3 Bixian Strange Tales Chapter 73 Ghost Night Talk (II)
"Grandma Shangguan, since you have calculated that the old woman and the pattern python will block the way, why don't you come forward to save you?" Ran Ran asked in a low voice, if it weren't for the silence of the night, I'm afraid no one would have heard him.
"There are some calamities that you must experience, external forces cannot intervene, and forcible intervention will only backfire!" Shangguan Yunyun said something that no one could understand, as if he was answering Ran Ran's question, as if he was giving them a warning, and it seemed that he was deliberately saying it to Qin Lingxuan.
"Besides, Master, her old man is not a god, she is just a mortal!" Xiuxiu added from the side that she knew Shangguan Yunyun well, so she naturally understood the meaning of her words, but she was also cooperating with Shangguan Yunyun and did not speak clearly for the time being.
"Grandma, you said that at a certain time to see ghosts, I'm afraid it's not just in the ghost domain!" Qin Lingxuan didn't focus on Shangguan Yunyun's strange words, because when the time came, he would naturally know everything, including the mystery of his life experience, now he just wanted to learn more about ghosts and monsters from Shangguan Yunyun, after experiencing so many strange and weird things, he deeply realized how incompetent he was, so incompetent that he couldn't protect himself, so incompetent that he couldn't even keep it, so incompetent that he was useless, he wanted to change this status quo, he wanted to become stronger, strong enough to protect the people he wanted to protect, so, He had to force himself to study, instead of putting all his hopes on Shangguan Yunyun and Xiuxiu, what if they were going to suffer one day? At that time, who will save them?
"Ling'er, tell me what you think!" Shangguan Yunyun looked at Qin Lingxuan dotingly, her heart was full of anticipation!
"Another specific time is the midyear festival you are talking about!" Qin Lingxuan said her guess, and there was no fluctuation in her heart.
"Not bad, not bad!" Shangguan Yunyun praised again and again, laughed happily, and couldn't close his mouth.
"Sure enough, the six senses are extremely strong!" Xiuxiu also appreciated, she began to admire Qin Lingxuan, if he had followed Shangguan Yunyun to learn metaphysics and Taoism since he was a child, with his intelligence and the tenacity of his learning ability, it was estimated that his current achievements would be higher than her.
Jin'er no longer has resistance to Xiuxiu, she seems to be relieved, she can see that Xiuxiu is only loyal to Qin Lingxuan, she just wants to take care of him instead of Shangguan Yunyun, at least Jin'er has not found out that Xiuxiu has a male and female love for Qin Lingxuan, she also believes what Xiuxiu said to her, although no one can say anything about feelings, that feeling of love sometimes comes, it comes quietly, and when it says go, it won't say hello and leave......
What could be better now? Go with the flow, open your heart, polish your eyes, and care about Qin Lingxuan, this is what she should do, instead of being suspicious, suspicious of this and that, if you are too suspicious, you will be crazy, and Qin Lingxuan will be crazy with it!
is also a girl, she is not as good as Xiuxiu, she is now like a vase, just an ornament, and she can't help Qin Lingxuan in any way, thinking of this, she can't help but feel a little ashamed, she knew that she didn't study at the beginning, and went up the mountain to learn the Tao, so that she could be like Xiuxiu, and become a "useful" person, instead of being Qin Lingxuan's oil bottle.
"Jin'er, don't think too much!" Qin Lingxuan saw the change in Jin'er's expression, and opened his mouth to comfort, he swore that he would never abandon Jin'er, life and death depended on each other, knowing that old age and death, he would not leave her and let her live alone!
After listening to Qin Lingxuan's comforting words, she believed that Qin Lingxuan was even more convinced that Qin Lingxuan was her own, and she couldn't get rid of it, not her own, and she couldn't keep it if she forced it, Qin Lingxuan really loved her, she could feel it, don't break a good hand of cards because of her own little belly chicken intestines, and at that time, complain about the sky? No, I can only blame myself......
"Hey," Shangguan Yunyun sighed with mixed feelings and shook his head slightly.
"Grandma Shangguan, go on, I won't interrupt you!" Jin'er cleaned up her little emotions and said apologetically to Shangguan Yunyun.
"People have human nature, and ghosts have ghost personalities!" Shangguan Yunyun began her tirade.
A person can lose wealth, he can lose love, family, friendship...... You can even lose your life, but you can't lose your humanity, once you lose your humanity, you can't get it back, because that kind of person can no longer be called a human being, it's just a walking corpse in human skin!
Although ghosts and humans live in parallel worlds, they can see people in the human world, generally speaking, they will not easily harm the living, because every time they persecute a person, they have one less chance of reincarnation, and they are essentially just a gray energy, and there is no complete entity, indiscriminately harming people, there is no meaning, they have to abide by the ghost personality, do not do anything out of line,
Ghost personality and human nature are the same, there are commonalities, to be a qualified ghost and to be a human person are not in conflict, the pursuit of the two is the same.
People don't commit ghosts, ghosts don't commit ghosts, if people commit ghosts, ghosts will avoid them, if people are too much, the end is only "jade burning"!
On the 14th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the ghosts of the underworld have to go up to the human world, whether they are about to be reincarnated or not, they have to come to their own festival, under the escort of the ghosts, the only "legal way" for them to go up to the human world is the day of the Zhongyuan Festival, on this day, they can be "unscrupulous", they can "act willfully".
"No wonder when I was young, the elders in the family always told us not to go out and not talk nonsense on Halloween," Ran Ran suddenly realized, the elders were just afraid that their children would provoke ghosts, so they had to remind them every year on Halloween.
The ghosts of Halloween go up from the underworld to the yang realm, they just come to "visit relatives" to see how their relatives are doing, in fact, the most important point is that they come to receive the dead money, paper money, and incense burned to them by their families......
So this custom has been passed down, not out of nowhere, people will burn buns, burn money, offer incense and delicious meals on the day of Halloween, in order to let the dead relatives return with a full load, and after returning to "bribe" the ghosts, so that they will live much more comfortably in the following days, and can also win more opportunities to reincarnate!
"Grandma, I'm afraid there is a certain time!" Qin Lingxuan heard some clues from Shangguan Yunyun's words.
"Ling'er, tell me about it!" Shangguan Yunyun stood up and straightened the center of the candle again, lest it go out, when talking about ghosts at night, it is taboo, and the candle must not be extinguished, otherwise it will give ghosts a chance to take advantage of.
"Ghosts wandering in the human world!" Qin Lingxuan stood up as she spoke, covering the red candle with the lampshade so that it would not be extinguished by the wind.
"That's right, Ling'er, you're right," Regarding the knowledge of ghosts and monsters, Shangguan Yunyun was like a treasure, and explained to him one by one, she was afraid that she would miss any important "knowledge points"!
On Halloween, not all demons return to the underworld for a variety of reasons.
The first is: when they come back to save their relatives, their families do not write their names and birthdays on the burning bag, this kind of "money" is commonly known as "black money, fake money", they cannot be collected, and if there is not enough money, money paper, they will get lost, can not walk back to the underworld, because the family does not give them enough money, do not give them clear guidance, they will get lost, they will go straight to the human world, become poor lonely ghosts, in fact, there are many such cases, All they can do is wait for the ghost gate to open again the following year, and they only have to receive enough money so that they are no longer confused and can go back with the ghosts.
The second is that the relatives of the human world lure them back, but they did not suck the abundant incense offered to them, the ghost energy is insufficient, they cannot pass the "ghost gate", when they smoke enough incense, they can find their way home, and then go back with their backs straight.
The third is: the relatives are burning the paper of the underworld, but the number is too small, they are not qualified to return to the underworld, so they are stranded in the human world by ghosts.
The fourth is: the new ghosts who have just died cannot go down to the underworld, they have to wait until the dead person has passed the first seven, and then they dare to return with peace of mind, and the ghosts who are about to be reincarnated, they are waiting for the ghost to be reincarnated notice, so they must grasp this opportunity, this is the last chance to see their former relatives!
The fifth type is: the ghosts who forcibly stay in the human world, a very small number of them come to "ask for their lives", their ghosts are ferocious and violent, they are not afraid of "getting drunk and getting drunk, they just want to see the excitement of the human world."
If there is a "smuggler" to the human world, trying in every possible way to avoid the pursuit of the ghosts, once they are found and arrested, they will be put into the oil pot, and at worst, they will never be able to live beyond the life and enter the eighteenth layer of hell.
But there are also a very small number of very few ghosts, they try their best to stay in the world, do the shameless act of borrowing the corpse to resurrect the soul, seriously destroy the balance of yin and yang between people and ghosts, they do evil, a person's yang energy, only enough for a ghost to survive for a year, so, as long as they have the opportunity, looking for a new host, they will keep changing their skins, experiencing the "various states of life", repeating the story of their life.
As Shangguan Yunyun's voice fell, most of the candle had already burned out, dripping with wax oil.
Qin Lingxuan has no yin and yang eyes, but he can see ghosts since he was a child, no one can tell why, even Shangguan Yunyun is helpless, sometimes, Qin Lingxuan is wondering if he is a human being, or whether he is the same kind of ghosts, otherwise why is he so "related" to them!
