Chapter 199: Pretending to be a ghost and asking for sacrifices

"Brother Luo?"

"Makihara, why are you here?" Luo Qiren was really a little surprised.

Mu Yuan really admires these scouts a little, Luo Xuanren is also in his twenties, and he can walk in this kind of place with ease, and it seems that he is also a little virtuous. And these bags obviously don't just inquire about news in the yang world, but also often go to this kind of ghost market in exchange for information.

"I'll do something!" Mu Yuan explained, and then asked, "Brother Luo, did you bring any money?" Can you lend me some? ”

Luo Qiren glanced at it and understood, he smiled and took out a stack of money, and said, "Count yourself lucky, you ran away today, and the things you brought were useless!" ”

Xia Xue glanced at Luo Qiren gratefully, took the money he handed over and gave it to the little girl.

"Thank you, sister!" The little girl was very happy, but she only took out one, "One is enough!" ”

"Take it all and see what else you want to buy!" Xia Xue didn't stop, and wanted to stuff the rest of the money to the little girl.

"You can't take too much!" The little girl shook her head, threw the pen and paper into the bucket, and then happily picked up the little red shoes.

"The underworld coin is to pay attention to yin virtue, to rely on the blessing of the ancestors, there is a fixed amount of money for the passage, no matter how much you give, you can't spend it!" Luo Qiren explained.

"Then tell my sister, what's your name, I'll tell your parents and ask them to send you money!" Xia Xue was a little unbearable.

"Mom and Dad went to work, only Grandma is here, but Grandma is old and can't see clearly, they haven't come to see me for a long time!" The little girl's voice grew quieter and quieter, and at last she sobbed quietly.

"Be good, don't cry!" Long Ling'er persuaded on the side, "Tell my sister your name, I'll take care of grandma and let her go to see you!" ”

"My name is Xiuxiu!" The little girl wiped away her tears and gave her name and address.

"Makihara, have you thought about what happened last time? When are you going to go? Luo Xuanren asked, through his grandfather's inquiry, he had confirmed Mu Yuan's identity, coupled with the chance encounter here, he was already convinced of Mu Yuan's ability.

"It may be a while!" Makihara said, "Xia Xia is still playing, at least until the game is over!" ”

Luo Qiren calculated the time in his heart and said, "If I am free then, I will go with you!" ”

"Okay!" Mu Yuan nodded in agreement, and with Luo Qiren, a well-informed scout, he believed that things would go a lot smoother.

After a while, seeing that Xia Xue had finished comforting the little girl, Mu Yuan urged the two to leave quickly. Luo Qiren didn't say anything more, those who come to this ghost city generally have a time limit, and he is naturally familiar with the truth.

After saying goodbye to Luo Qiren, the three of Mu Yuan turned back to the path where they came, Xia Xue only felt a flower in front of her, and when she opened her eyes again, she found that she was back outside the wall, standing in a shadow.

"Hey, why is my hair and clothes wet?" Xia Xue noticed that her body was a little cold, and when she touched it, she found that her hair and shoulders were wet.

"Because it's raining!" Makihara said with a smile.

"But, we just ......"

"You don't really think we're passing through a wall, do you?" Long Ling'er said with a smile, "The past is only the main soul, and the body is still here, otherwise why would Brother Muyuan stay and guard us!" ”

"Is that Xiuxiu also a ghost?" Xia Xue still couldn't believe it, "Everything just now seems to be a dream!" ”

"The ghost market is to find a location with heavy yin qi on the ghost gate line, and build a critical magnetic field, you can imagine it as a space!" Makihara explained, "This space only allows souls to pass through, and the mantra that Mr. Cai told us is actually a way to drive the main soul out of the body!" ”

"You're saying that souls can enter after they leave their bodies?"

"It's that simple!" Long Ling'er smiled, "If it weren't for Mr. Cai giving us guidance and picking us up over there, we wouldn't have been able to get in!" It's like a set of passwords, without the answer inside, no one can get in except for the bardo body. Those who set up stalls and shops are also passed down from generation to generation, they do business for the living during the day and the dead at night, and there is a special set of screening rules! ”

"Bardo body? What is that? Ghost? ”

"That's understandable, but it's not accurate!" Long Ling'er said, "Bardo body is a Buddhist term that refers to the process of the deceased after the death of the deceased, the eighth consciousness from the body to the reincarnation, simply put, the wandering soul waiting for reincarnation!" ”

"Eighth consciousness?" Xia Xue was completely confused, she had seen too many things tonight, and she had heard too many nouns, and she obviously felt that her knowledge and IQ were not enough.

"The sixth sense knows, modern science believes that the sixth sense exists in the cerebral cortex, and it is a kind of superconsciousness in addition to sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch, which can be understood as mental sense!" Long Ling'er explained, "The seventh sense is considered to be time awareness, a kind of perceptual ability to perceive time; The eighth sense is the sense of space, the ninth sense is meditation, and the tenth sense is developed when stimulated, which can be regarded as a superpower! ”

Looking at Xia Xue's confused look, Mu Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said: "You just understand it like this, everything has a spirit and is interconnected with each other, and it is explained by modern scientific theory that energy is conserved, and they can be transformed into each other, but before the transformation, they all have their own belonging, and they exist in an independent space according to unique laws!" The ghost market is a space that exists under this rule, it is both a container and a filter, and only things that meet the conditions can enter and exit! ”

Seeing that Xia Xue was still puzzled, Mu Yuan stopped explaining, these are his own understandings, let Xia Xue ponder slowly. After walking around the alley a few times, Makihara finally stopped in front of a paper horse shop.

It's a small shop, it's lit inside, a gourd hangs from a tree on the left side of the door, a wreath hangs on the wall on the right, and the roller shutter door is pulled down more than halfway, just above an adult's knee.

"You guys wait for me here, I'll go buy some sacrifices for Xiuxiu!" Makihara said.

"No need, I'll do it!" Long Ling'er giggled twice and ran over first.

Makihara knew that the shopkeeper was going to be unlucky, and this little witch might be playing pranks again.

Long Ling'er tiptoed to the door of the store, reached out and untied the long whip wrapped around her waist, and with a flick of her hand, the whip was wrapped around a branch, and her arms were slightly forced, and her feet were suspended, leaving only a pair of feet still dangling under the roller shutter door.

"What is she doing here? Upper room? Xia Xue asked strangely.

"You'll understand in a moment!" Mu Yuan said helplessly, "I hope the person on duty is bold enough not to be scared to death by her!" ”

"Knock, knock, knock!" Long Ling'er knocked lightly on the roller shutter door.

"Who?"

"It's me, I want money!" Long Ling'er smiled evilly, but her voice was a little scary, trembling, and it sounded like goosebumps.

"Mom!" A scream came from the roller shutter, followed by the sound of things being knocked over.

"I want money, I want money!" Long Ling'er learned the ghost sound, and her two little feet kept dangling.

"Give you money, give you money!" A large stack of Dead Coins rolled out from under the door.

"Burn it to me, my name is Xiuxiu, and I want fragrant wax and new clothes!"

"Okay, okay, I'll burn you right away! Not only today, but every fifteenth day of the new year in the future, I will burn it to you! ”

After hearing all this, Long Ling'er's waist pole exerted his strength, climbed up along the long whip, and then quietly climbed down on the other side of the canopy.

"Let's go, it's over, don't worry about Xiuxiu in the future!" Long Ling'er clapped her little hands and said triumphantly.

"Will he really do it?" Xia Xue was a little skeptical.

"If you don't believe me, just wait and see!"

After about half an hour, the roller shutter door was pulled up, and a young man came out trembling, his palms folded, chanting Amitabha Buddha without stopping, and holding a bunch of things in his arms. The young man looked at the doorway, and then in a panic he drew a circle on the ground and set all the things on the ground on fire.

"So Xiuxiu can receive it?" Xia Xue asked.

Mu Yuan nodded, shook his head again, and saw that Xia Xue was a little puzzled, so he explained: "Haven't you heard of a common saying? The heart is known to the Buddha, and it is for people to eat! Those so-called offerings and paper money are just a kind of sustenance in people's psychology, whether it is ghosts or gods and Buddhas, they can't enjoy it directly, what they need is the power of faith, this power can enhance their mana! For Xiuxiu, one more tribute from the world will allow her to receive one more provision in another world! ”

"This is really similar to reality, just like parents, they don't expect to get any material gifts from us, as long as they call back every day to ask for warmth, they are extremely happy!" Xia Xue seemed to think of something and said with emotion.

"This is actually the greatest act of kindness, and the great good is invisible!" Mu Yuan said, "Although those who give material things are also good, only a few people can do it, and it is a small goodness, and the great good is to pay attention to moisturizing things silently, every word, every move, influence others, and enter the broad road together!" ”

"Accompany me to see Xiuxiu's grandmother tomorrow!"

"I have something to do tomorrow, I want to take the Jiang sisters to my teacher!" Makihara shook his head.

"Okay, then I'll go alone!" Although Xia Xue was a little dissatisfied, she still nodded.

"Go back and get some rest!" Mu Yuan advised, "If your main soul leaves your body tonight and comes into contact with the wandering soul, your own aura will be disordered, and if you don't manage it well, you will get sick!" ”
