In the deserted cemetery, Han Benchu walked forward with fear. Those tombstones fell to the ground, and occasionally a few of them were still pasted with black and white photos of the dead, and the people in those photos were smiling and opening their eyes, as if they were all looking at Han Benchu, the weird atmosphere made people shudder, and every step felt creepy.

On a gloomy day, everything was gray and white, and the dark red lantern in the distance stood out from the rest. When Han Benchu saw this lantern, he was overjoyed, as if he saw the only straw that saved his life. He couldn't help but speed up his pace, and the urgency in his heart was unimaginable to ordinary people.

Han Benchu came to this time-honored pot shop called "Tianrenzhai" again, because the matter was urgent, this time he didn't even knock on the door, he broke in directly, and shouted inside: "Are you there, old woman?" ”

In the living room in the northwest corner, the old woman walked out, stood at the door and waved her hand to Han Benchu, but did not speak, signaling him to come here. Han Benchu understood, and hurriedly walked over, he was tired enough after a day of running, panting heavily. When the old woman saw his appearance, she said lightly: "Let's have a cup of tea first." ”

Han Benchu nodded and entered the house with the old woman.

After entering the house, the old woman put a cup of weak tea in front of Han Benchu, and then asked softly, "Have you met her?" ”

Han Benchu said: "We met." ”

The old woman smiled and said, "Well, yes, yes, she can go with peace of mind?" ”

Han Benchu was silent for a few seconds, and said with a pale face: "She didn't leave......"

The old woman, who was still smiling, instantly froze her whole face when she heard this.

She asked Han Benchu in disbelief: "You said she didn't leave?" ”

Han Benchu nodded, and said with a sad face: "Old woman, what the hell is going on?" Why could you guess that her ghost would come back to see me? What the hell is that yin-yang pot you gave me? I don't think you're a bad person, but why would you hurt me? ”

The old woman listened to Han Benchu's words, and her face obviously showed a little frustration, a little doubt, and a little disbelief. She sat down in her chair, staring blankly at the ceiling, and muttered to herself, "Have I been deceived by this tailless puppy?" ”

The anxious Han Ben hurriedly asked, "What the hell is going on?" ”

The old woman sighed solemnly and told Han Benchu the truth of this matter:

The old woman who sells yin and yang pots in Tianren Zhai is surnamed Zhuang, and she is called "Granny Zhuang". There is a legend that she is the descendant of the founder of the yin-yang pot "Braided Aunt". Granny Zhuang is unpredictable, running a pot shop called "Tianren Zhai" on the surface, but in fact, she is secretly doing some "can't see the light" business, similar to "wizard witchcraft" and the like.

Granny Zhuang generally does not have contact with ordinary people, in other words, ordinary people "can't afford to see her". Her clients are all rich people. What film and television stars, business and political celebrities, chaebol tyrants, etc...... These people were introduced by acquaintances and came all the way to this "Tianrenzhai" located in the wilderness, with a "huge gift" that you can't imagine. Just to ask Granny Zhuang to help.

Some of them are to increase their fortune by raising imps. Some curse the villain in order to assassinate their peers. This kind of thing sounds ridiculous to you, but it is very popular in many high-end circles, especially in the film and television entertainment industry, many female stars in order to get out of the position, in order to step on other female stars who are better than themselves, the means can be described as varied.

Granny Zhuang is a man of God, but not a saint. That's what she's been doing since she was a child. So it doesn't matter if the other party is a mule or a horse, as long as the price is in place, she doesn't mind helping them do some secretly shady things. This old goddess has done a lot of bad things, and her heart is a little unsteady after all, so she will also do some good deeds to accumulate virtue, such as Han Benchu's matter.

In fact, when Granny Zhuang saw Han Benchu for the first time four days ago, she knew that he was stained with unclean things. Unexpectedly, this kid would have a relationship with this unclean thing, and even came out to buy hot pot for it in the middle of the night to pay tribute to its dead soul. So Granny Zhuang asked him again and again what had happened to him, just to show him the way.

As we said before, the yin and yang pot of Bashu, the underworld marriage with the north, the corpse chaser in Xiangxi, and the pen fairy in Jiangnan are all "evil arts" in a sense. But the knife can kill and save people. Even if it's an evil spell, it depends on how the caster uses it. Just like the corpses in Xiangxi, some people drive corpses in order to drive the dead to a place where they will never be reborn, and some people drive corpses in order to let the dead return to their hometown and be buried in peace.

The same goes for yin-yang pots.

In this technique, as long as an ordinary "mandarin duck pot" is placed in a place where the deceased frequented during his lifetime, and then the iron sheet separating the red soup from the white soup is reversed, it becomes a "yin and yang pot" that can summon the soul of the deceased.

If someone is unfortunate enough to take a bite, they will be able to see "something" sitting opposite and eating white soup, or a ghost, or a lonely soul, and from then on they will be entangled by that thing, and they will live in great fear day and night, and they will die within two months.

But if it is not used to harm people, but to remember the deceased, then the yin and yang pot is a good way to "compromise". It will neither be entangled with each other for a lifetime like a ghost marriage, nor will it summon a terrifying ghost like a pen fairy. So at the end of the day, it depends on how you use it.

That night, after listening to Han Benchu's story, Granny Zhuang was very sure that the tailless puppy was not a dog, but a ghost. But even ghosts are good and bad. This tailless puppy may have approached Han Benchu at the beginning, indeed for some extremely evil purpose. But in the end, for unknown reasons, it didn't do it, but lived with him until the outbreak of the "hot pot incident".

The story of Han Benchu and the tailless puppy moved Granny Zhuang very much, so that night, Granny Zhuang handed over a yin and yang pot to Han Benchu, she knew that once the pot was boiled, the dead soul of the tailless puppy would inevitably appear, and the previous life and death parting between the two was too regrettable, so this meeting was regarded as their final goodbye. But what Granny Zhuang never expected was: The soul of this tailless puppy didn't leave after eating the yin and yang pot!

This is a big taboo.

If the ghost who eats the yin and yang pot does not leave, it is to harm people, that's for sure. Granny Zhuang originally thought that Han Benchu had come to thank her, but she didn't expect this to happen. She was furious in her heart, it seemed that her previous judgment of the tailless puppy was completely wrong, this guy was not a good thing at all, it was just that they didn't do it to Han Benchu for some reason they didn't know. I didn't think that my kindness would help this ghost!

Han Benchu couldn't believe it: "I've obviously lived with it for nearly a year, but my neighbors actually say that they have never seen my tailless puppy, what is going on?" ”

Granny Zhuang said, "What you see is only what it wants you to see......

Han Benchu said in a deep voice: "Everything I see is just an illusion? Could it be that every morning I go to the flower bed downstairs to relieve my hands, and walk in the community in the evening, those people touch it and tease it, this writing bit by bit, in fact, has never happened at all? Is it just that it was designed for me to see? ”

Granny Zhuang nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Han Benchu looked up to the sky and let out a deep breath. It turned out that I opened the door of the house every morning, but there was nothing to go out at all. It turned out that he was the only one who walked around the community in the evening, and there were no dogs at all...... Thinking of this, the hairs on his whole body stood up, his hands and feet were cold, and his heart trembled like an explosion.

After a long time......

Han Benchu asked coldly: "What is it?" ”
