The soul collector took off the hat on his head, looked at his grandmother, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Who did I say, it turned out to be you." ”

Grandma smiled and nodded: "Come and do something." ”

"Good...... When I have collected these new souls, I will take you across the river. The soul collector said and put the hat back on, "You guys are lucky today, if you came here a few days ago, there must be a lot of souls coming to you for trouble." As he spoke, the soul collector took the cylindrical man back into the brass bell, and then put the new souls on the grave one by one in a cloth bag.

I looked at the cloth bag, which was no more than the size of a palm, but it could hold countless souls.

Grandma asked, "Is the chaos of Yin Si related to Lord Chenghuang?" ”

The soul collector replied: "Yes, everyone knows about this, so I don't need to say more, Lord Chenghuang even left the Yin Si for a woman, but it hurts us errand runners." ”

Woman?

The cold-faced god who is high up in the city god will actually drop his yin for a woman?

My heart was shaken.

Shen Yan asked, "Excuse me, why is it calm here now?" ”

The soul collector looked at Shen Yan for a while, and then said slowly: "Because the city god is back, haha......"

Coming back?

The three of us looked at each other.

The soul collector took care of the matter at hand, threw out an iron chain to us, and said, "Old lady Bai, you take two little dolls to pull the chain, and I will take you across the river." ”

"Okay, thank you."

Grandma pulled the chain up and motioned for me and Shen Yan to pull it up.

We pulled the chain and followed the soul collector, and in a short time many blood-red flowers appeared on the side of the road, swaying.

This is the most famous two-life flower of Yin Si.

Flowers bloom for thousands of years, flowers fall for thousands of years, and flowers and leaves will never see each other for thousands of years.

We followed the flowers all the way down and saw a long river, this is the Santu River, we were here last time. There is a boat on the Santu River, and the soul collector instructed us not to talk when we get on the ferry for a while, otherwise we will fall our three souls into the water, and even if we return to the Yang World, we will become a fool.

We each nodded and said nothing.

The soul collector greeted the old man on the ferry, and took us directly to the boat.

There was no one else on the boat, only a few of us, and the grandfather who crossed the river was silent all the way, but the Xuanyi man spoke......

He said that after a woman dies, she will first come to the Santu River, and there are three undercurrents of different depths in the river, which govern the Santu River of the women in the yang world. When you are alive, you like and dislike, and when you die, you will pass by which river and suffer the same kind of pain.

These three paths are the path of fire, the path of blood, and the path of sword.

When crossing the river, it must be towed by a man, otherwise it will be thrown into the river by the ferryman.

The water of these three rivers is not buoyant, nor is it clear, it is turbid, and it can corrode the soul. Once you fall into the water, you will never have a chance to be reborn, and you can only become a water ghost, suffering forever in this bone-cold river.

I moved to the side, trying to see what the river was not as terrible as he had told me, when I saw a white dry hand come out of the river and grab my foot and neck at once. Before I could scream, my grandmother kicked the dead hand back into the water, and there was a pop.

The soul collector glanced at his grandmother appreciatively, and continued: "These water ghosts have been in the river for a long time, and they have become jealous, and you will be dragged into the water by them, and you will have no skills to return to the sky." ”

I didn't answer him, and my heart suddenly felt empty, as if I had fallen into the river of three ways.

I stared blankly at the murky water, and the boat moved forward silently, and there were no blood-red flowers on either side, but two towering peaks.

The mountains are stacked on top of each other, and they are unusually steep.

The ferryboat grandfather stopped the boat here, hit the water with a pole, and his voice was hoarse: "It's here." ”

I looked at the cliffs on both sides, there was no road at all, this was not the way to the city of the dead and the city of the drunken capital, why did he bring us here?

The soul collector said, "Old lady Bai, you are here to find a soul, right?" ”

Grandma replied, "Of course, when did I come to Yin Si not to find a soul?" How did you get more confused than you old man? Listening to the tone of the two of them, like old friends for many years, they are not rigid at all.

The soul collector said: "Yesterday the city god came, he said that you will come tomorrow, and he also told me that the soul you are looking for is not in the Yin Division, if you come, I will send you directly to return to Yang." ”

It turned out that he sent us to the place of Huanyang.

Grandma said in surprise: "Lord Chenghuang mentioned our family? ”

The Soul Collector nodded.

"Did Lord Chenghuang say that there are still a few years left in my family's first year of junior high school?"

"This ...... Not really. ”

"Okay, I see, thank you, old man."

"Open your mouth and shut up old man, in front of these little dolls, can't you, an old woman, save me some face?"

Shen Yan and I glanced at each other and couldn't help but smile.

Grandma said happily: "You old man has been dead for so many years, and you still want to save face." Okay, I won't tell you more, I still have to get down to business, so I'll go first. ”

The soul collector took off the hat on his head and held it in his hand: "Come back and bring some paving money for my old man." ”

"Okay!"

My grandmother took Shen Yan's hands from left to right and threw us upward, and I suddenly felt dizzy, my eyes were dark, and I seemed to lose consciousness. Before I lost consciousness, I seemed to detain the soul collector and said, "Coffin son, your calamity this year is not small, pay attention." "Then I didn't know anything.

When I woke up again, I found that we were back in bed.

I couldn't wait to ask, "Grandma, why does Lord Chenghuang know that we will go to Yinsi?" He also knew that the soul we were looking for was not in the underworld? Shen Yan also looked at her grandmother curiously from the side.

Grandma pondered for a while and said, "Lord Chenghuang is in charge of everyone's life blessing and punishment, and it is not difficult for him to understand that the man who died on Yang An's bed, I wonder why he is so sure that we will go to Yin Si to find his soul?" ”

Shen Yan and I glanced at each other and said in unison, "Lord Chenghuang is by our side!" ”

Grandma nodded: "Not bad." ”

I don't understand, how could the head of the Yin Division of the dignified realm, the god City God, notice such a small role as us? From what the soul collector said, I felt as if this city god knew our whereabouts at all times.

My grandmother suddenly looked at me: "First day of junior high school, hurry, take out the Qingming ruler and take a look." ”

I was stunned, why do you want a clear ruler at this time?

I took out the Qingming ruler and handed it to my grandmother, who took it in her hand and looked at it carefully, and suddenly laughed out loud, I looked at my grandmother in confusion, and my grandmother smiled and laughed, and suddenly burst into tears, I was frightened and hurriedly wiped away the tears for my grandmother.

"Grandma, what's wrong with you?"

Grandma sniffed, laughed and cried: "On the first day of junior high school, grandma is happy, grandma is happy." ”

"Grandma...... "I feel more and more uneasy.

Grandma said: "On the first day of junior high school, it turns out that the third master of Ling is ...... Hahahaha...... Good! Good! Good! Now I'm relieved, I'm relieved, haha......"

I looked at my grandmother worriedly.

Shen Yan suddenly said, "Grandma, let me see if this Qingming ruler is real...... Ouch! As soon as her hand touched Qingming's body, a puff of white smoke suddenly appeared, and she screamed in pain and rolled on the bed.

I was frightened and hurriedly helped her up, her whole body trembled, and I hugged her tightly: "Shen Yan, Shen Yan? ”

Grandma handed me the Qingming ruler: "On the first day of junior high school, you must keep this Qingming ruler well, you know?" Don't take it out and use it until you have to, it's too powerful, you don't know, it's actually ...... Hey, forget it, it's not the time yet, and when the time comes, you'll know everything. ”

Grandma patted Shen Yan's cheek, and Shen Yan slowly calmed down: "Grandma, I was so uncomfortable just now. ”

"Hey...... Yan'er, silly child, that's the Qingming ruler that specializes in curing evil and driving away ghosts, you are the son of the coffin, the Qingming ruler is your natural nemesis, don't touch it again in the future, my hard-working child. ”

Grandma hugged Shen Yan, Shen Yan fell into her grandmother's arms, and the two hugged each other tightly.

I sat on the side, looking down at the Qingming ruler in my hand, what time did my grandmother say? I don't know what? The Qingming ruler was given to me by Lingzheng, is there any problem?

I was stunned: "Grandma, Lingzheng hasn't come back yet, is it in danger?" ”

I was busy, found the door open, rushed into Lingzheng's room, and suddenly ...... Once again, I was stunned! - Lingzheng didn't wear any clothes, lying flat on the bed, his eyes closed, and King Ling's tomb was not wearing any clothes, sitting cross-legged at the foot of the bed.

"Ah......h

I froze for two or three seconds, reflexively screaming.

King Ling's tomb suddenly opened his eyes and covered my mouth: "Dead woman, what's the ghost called!" I couldn't help biting him, he was in pain, let go of me, and scolded, "I'll go to your uncle's!" You stupid woman, bite Uncle again, believe it or not, Uncle pry all your teeth out! ”

Frightened, I covered my mouth with my hands and took two steps back.

King Ling's tomb lifted his feet to the ground and slowly pressed towards me: "Now you know that you are afraid? Why don't you have the habit of knocking on the door when you enter a man's room? ”

"You, you, you, you...... You ......"

"What are you? Usually so fierce, now I'm so scared that I can't speak? ”

I closed my eyes tightly and turned my back to stop looking at King Ling's tomb: "Your uncle's tomb of King Ling!" You don't have any clothes on! ”

“……”

I heard the sound of a quilt pulling behind me.

At this moment, my grandmother and Shen Yan ran in and asked me what was wrong? I hurriedly covered Shen Yan and my grandmother's eyes, telling them not to look, they would have needle eyes.

My grandmother knocked my hand off: "Shocked, what's going on?" ”

I pointed behind me: "He, they...... They ......"

Grandma was stunned, bypassed me, and walked up: "Little tomb, when did you come back?" ”

"Grandma, King Ling's tomb is not dressed, don't ......"
