At the moment when my heart almost jumped out, I only heard an exclamation from my aunt in the dark, and then the exclamation turned into a scream, and Sheng Shiyao had already sat up from the bed. Even if you can't see the situation over there, you can guess that he restrained the aunt.

"Cheng Xiao, turn on the lights." Sheng Shiyao commanded me in a deep voice.

I immediately felt the switch next to the door, and my eyes suddenly lit up, only to see that the aunt's right wrist was twisted by Sheng Shiyao, and her expression was very painful. And in her left hand, she really held three sticks of incense, and there was still smoke curling at this time. I don't understand, is the so-called ghost boarding only possible with these three incense sticks?

With an exclamation of "don't", Sheng Shiyao had already made a move to cut off the three incense sticks. I saw that my aunt's face suddenly became defeated, and her eyes were mixed with fear and sorrow, and Sheng Shiyao let go of the hand that restrained her at this moment. The aunt's body began to tremble, her eyes stared straight at the incense that was broken into several pieces on the ground, and she muttered the name of "osmanthus" like a fool.

I quietly walked up to Sheng Shiyao, pulled his sleeve and asked softly, "What's going on?" He didn't reply to me, just stared at the aunt with cold eyes, "Who taught you this kind of soul-attracting technique?" ”

The aunt's whole body was shocked, she slowly raised her head, looked at Sheng Shiyao in surprise, and asked in a lost voice, "How do you know about the soul attraction technique?" ”

"Hmph, if I'm not mistaken, your three incense sticks are not ordinary incense, but soul rejuvenation incense, and you have channeled your daughter's soul into the incense, and you want to transfer it to another body through this medium, so that your daughter can be resurrected. In order to perform this soul-attracting technique, there must be a condition, and the soul must not be hooked away and remain in the world. So, your daughter should have been dead exactly seven days! ”

The first seven souls! Those four words came to my mind. When I was a child, I often heard the old man tell the story of the night of the soul, saying that after death, people would come back on the seventh day to see their relatives again, so the relatives of the deceased would sprinkle a kind of ash called limestone powder on the ground, and put a bowl of water, and when they came to see it the next day, there would be a mark like a bird's claw on the ash, which means that they had returned.

When I was a child, I felt very scared, but when I was older, I heard my grandmother tell this story, she said that when her grandfather died, she stayed in the house for the first seven nights and did not sleep, and she personally felt that someone was with her, because she was an old wife who had been with her for decades, and there was nothing to be afraid of, until dawn, that feeling disappeared.

In fact, many things cannot be verified by science, but there is such a legend among the people, and if you believe it, you don't believe it. Originally, I didn't believe it, but looking at Sheng Shiyao's serious expression and aunt's pale face, I couldn't help but believe it. Recalling the sentence that my aunt said before, "If you want to blame me, blame me for being unlucky", it should refer to this incident, and it happened to be just after twelve o'clock in the night when I came to knock on the door.

The rooster crowed, the sky turned white, the aunt's legs were weak, and she sat on the ground with her buttocks, and despair appeared in her eyes. Regardless of whether the soul-attracting technique worked or not, her daughter's first seven nights were in the past, and if there was really a soul, it would be dust to dust, dust to dust, where to go back.

Zhou Tong and Liuzi rushed up from downstairs when they heard the sound, and they were a little surprised to see such a scene. When we broke into my aunt's bedroom, we really saw that there was a long desk of about one and a half meters by the window, on which an ebony urn, a black and white photo framed photo, and an incense burner were inserted, and the three sticks of incense inserted in it were almost burning.

The girl in the photo is very young, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and it should be the aunt's daughter Osmanthus.
