Section 23 The ghost door opens the ghost door and the ghost comes
It turns out that it has entered July unconsciously, no wonder I often see people burning paper money in the middle of the night these days, and in the blink of an eye, I have been dead for fifty days, and time flies so fast.
I still remember that I used to go to the grave with my parents to burn paper and kowtow to my grandparents, and later I also specifically checked the meaning of "July and a half".
"In the Chinese folk ghost festival, the first day of the seventh month is to open the ghost gate, and the dead ancestors will return to the world to check whether the descendants are good or evil, and the descendants will also take the opportunity to sacrifice them; July 15 is Halloween. After the fifteenth day of the seventh month, the door of the ghost will be closed, and before the thirtieth day of the seventh month, if someone has not sacrificed to his ancestors, his ancestors will wander the world for the next year. ”
Although this is the information I found at the time, I didn't really pay attention to it, and now that I have become a ghost, it is understandable.
When I returned to the Yang Realm, it was about 7 p.m., and when I got home, I found that Xu Xiaojuan was not at home, but my parents were burning incense in my previous bedroom.
I think it must have been my parents who notified Xu Xiaojuan in advance and asked her not to live at home today.
Looking at the old look on my parents' faces, I couldn't help but feel sad again, I don't know why, but after becoming a ghost, I also seemed to become sentimental.
Think about it, I should talk to my parents and put them at ease, and when they fall asleep, I'm dreaming with them.
I didn't stay in my room long, for I knew they wouldn't leave until tomorrow, and now I should do my job as a "ghost" and patrol the streets to see if any ghosts were causing trouble.
I floated directly downstairs through the window, but I saw a familiar figure downstairs, it was Nan Shuirou.
It's already a little hot in mid-July, and Nan Shuirou is wearing a white dress, standing by the street lamp downstairs in my house, if it weren't for the shadow under her feet, it would be easy to think that she was also a ghost.
When she saw me come down, she couldn't tell whether she was happy or sad. The tangled look makes people want to be comforted.
"Nan Shuirou, why are you here? Can I help you? I floated up to her and asked.
"Me, my mom, my mom is back." She said, twisting her fingers.
"That's a good thing, don't you really want to see your mother again? Why are you upset that she's back? "I was puzzled because Nan Shuirou's expression was not very happy.
"She came back to say goodbye to me, she said that she was going to be reincarnated and would not come to see me in the future, and said that she was very sorry for me and failed to raise me." Nan Shuirou said, already crying, and there were tears in her eyes.
I don't know how to comfort her, to say that it is a good thing for a ghost to be reincarnated, but for a loved one who is still alive, it is not a good thing, which means that this person who has a very close relationship with him will not have a relationship with him in the future.
I thought about it, and then said to Nan Shuirou: "Nan Shuirou, don't be sad either, you should know that this is a very good thing for your mother." ”
Nan Shuirou sobbed and nodded, "I know, but I'm just sad." ”
I touched her head and told her, "Perhaps, when I go back, I can help you ask which family your mother will be reincarnated, and you can go and see it later." ”
"Really?" Hearing me say this, Nan Shuirou looked at me in surprise, the kind of light called "expectation" in her eyes was so dazzling that I couldn't bear to lie to her.
"Well, I'm not sure, but I'll do my best to ask, if I can't......" I said uncertainly.
"It's okay, it's okay, I know Wenxuan, you did your best, if you can't ask, then I'll die in the future." Nan Shuirou hurriedly said, for fear that I would regret it.
Well, since Nan Shuirou has already said this, what reason do I have to refuse?
But in the end, I decided to send her home first, because for a person who can see ghosts, walking alone on the street full of ghosts, no matter how nervous a person is, will feel scared, not to mention that Nan Shuirou is a weak woman.
Soon I made this decision for me, uh, a little bit regretted.
Can you imagine a girl holding your arm tightly and not daring to take a step?
Well, it doesn't feel like it's something to brag about, as long as you don't have a whole bunch of ghosts around you.
Although I'm also a ghost, no, those strange ghosts don't think Nan Shuirou is their kind because of this.
Although most of the ghosts are very disciplined, after receiving the sacrifices of their relatives in the yang world, they will return to the underworld on their own, waiting for the next chance to be reincarnated.
However, there are also some ghosts who have committed a wrong thing in the yang world and are punished in the underworld, and then want to return to the yang world through the special day of the seventh month and a half, and never return to the underworld.
Although there is a lot of risk involved, there are still many ghosts who take risks every year.
What appeared in front of me at this time was a group of such ghosts who wanted to smuggle in the sun.
Generally speaking, this kind of ghost who dares to smuggle into the yang world generally commits a great mistake in the yang world, and does not receive the punishment he deserves in the yang world, or the punishment cannot offset his offense at all.
When they enter the underworld after death, they will be reconvicted by a judge, and then they will be punished accordingly.
Since most of the punishments of the Yin Division are very severe, many ghosts will choose to escape because they can't stand it.
However, if he is captured by the demons, not only will the criminal punishment he received before be inflicted on him, but several more severe punishments will be added.
"Hey, little ghost, don't be nosy, we're going to have a girl." While I was thinking wildly, a male ghost in front of me said to me.
They already knew from Nan Shuirou's performance that this girl could see them, and such a person would be of great use to them.
Hearing this, Nan Shuirou grabbed my arm even more nervously.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." I comfortingly patted Nan Shuirou's hand around me, trying to let her relax.
At this time, I remembered the hands and feet that Bai Wei did on my ghost sign after returning to Yin Si last time, and she carved a cat's paw print on my sign, saying that she could be contacted.
So I pressed the cat's paw print with my hand, but I was still a little unsure in my heart, not sure that this paw print would really work.
I pulled Nan Shuirou behind me, and put out a starting hand pose that Huang Feihong used to do before fighting on TV, with his legs lunging, his right hand at his waist, his left hand in front, and his left hand beckoned to the ghost in front of him.
During this time, I read a lot of books about martial arts illustrations and learned a lot of moves, and I hope I can use them.
In front of me, I saw the starting hand I made and laughed: "Yo, it's a practitioner, let Lao Tzu weigh whether you have a few strokes." As he spoke, a vicious tiger pounced on him.
Seeing this, I hurriedly stretched out my left hand and put it on his wrist, held his wrist and handed it to his chest, and my right hand passed through his left hand to intercept him, and slapped him on the left chest.
He was beaten back by me for a few steps, and when he stood firm, he looked at me gloomily and said, "Tsk, I didn't expect it, Lao Tzu looked away." ”
I'm a little glad I was able to hit him, and it gives me a little bit more confidence that I can handle him.
