The Li family is connected by three tiled houses, and the one that places the mourning hall is the one in the middle of it. When the pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info entered the door, there was a table with the portrait of Mrs. Li standing on the table, and an incense burner was placed in front of the statue for people to burn incense. After the posthumous portrait, two bamboos were erected, a white cloth was set up as a background, and a pair of couplets were hung on both sides of the white cloth.

Behind the white cloth is the corpse of Mrs. Li. The body lay on a wooden bed, wrapped in a quilt, with only its head exposed. Li Ziping walked in and saw that Mrs. Li's eyeballs were about to burst her eyelids. Generally, people who hang themselves have their pupils bulging outward, and they are completely unable to look at them when they die. The deceased's eyelids could only be closed after the corpse was laid down, but the eyeballs that seemed to be about to be stretched out could still be seen, which was very terrifying. The women of the Li family were all holding the body of Mrs. Li at this time, crying to death.

Under the bed, there were buckets of water, which had just come up from the well, and it was very cold. Hainan is like summer all year round, sometimes the weather is too hot, the corpse may only be placed for one day will emit a rancid smell, and there were no ice cubes and ice coffins in those days, so the cold well water could only be replaced every three hours to keep the corpse warm.

In front of Mrs. Li's body, behind her head after lying down, there was a chair with a kerosene lamp lit on it. This is also a custom in the village, it is said that after death, the soul will walk a section of the yin and yang road, and this yin and yang road is dark, completely unclear, the living life is afraid that the dead people will not be able to see this road clearly, so they light a lamp to light the way for them. The lamp must not be extinguished, and it must remain lit until the body is carried out for burial.

As soon as Li Ziping walked into the yard, he attracted the attention of the villagers, after all, although Li Ziping was young, he had a true biography of the old man Li, and it was said that he was very capable! Although few people have seen Li Ziping show his ability, the people in the village have long said that this person is like a legend.

Lao Li saw Li Ziping, and hurriedly greeted him, and when Li Ziping looked at the feng shui structure in the house, he told Li Ziping what had happened.

The third uncle said on the side: "Ziping, why don't you make a hexagram and help Mrs. Li do the math?" ”

Li Ziping stopped and looked at the room, smiled slightly, looked at the third uncle, and said, "I don't count if I have three, do you know which three?" ”

The third uncle was stunned and shook his head.

Li Ziping said: "One is not counted as a fetus conceived in October, two is not counted as a dead person, and three is not a major national event." ”

This is the fortune teller "three don't count", if the fetus is not born, is the future of the calculation, do you let the fortune teller say good or bad things? If you say bad things, according to the feudal superstition of that era, I am afraid that the parents will beat the child, which will hurt the peace of heaven. If you don't count the dead, it's easier to understand, after a person dies, the soul returns to heaven and earth to ghosts and gods, that is, it does not return to people, and these things like heaven and earth, ghosts and gods, if you count his future and future, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble? Third, it is not a major national event, the national fortune is a great fortune, which overrides all personal fortunes, and the national fortune is like a peeping into heaven, and it is easy to be punished by heaven. There are only a handful of fortune tellers who dare to calculate the fortune of the country throughout the ages. It is said that Jiang Ziya, Dongfang Shuo, Zhuge Liang, Yuan Tiangang, and Liu Bowen are all strange people who can be counted as national fortunes, but there are only a few capable people throughout the ages.

"This ...... So what do you think? The third uncle asked.

Li Ziping said: "Actually, I already expected that something was going to happen in the village last night, and I made a divination before Mrs. Li hanged herself, and learned that the evil ghost came to collect her soul at ten o'clock tonight, which means that Mrs. Li's soul is still there, as long as we find a way to keep her soul from being taken away, then there will be nothing after the burial." ”

Lao Li nodded again and again after hearing this, and said, "Ziping, then what do you say you want to do to keep my mother's soul?" ”

Li Ziping looked at the third uncle and asked, "You have a little channel technique, can you catch ghosts and eliminate demons?" ”

When the third uncle heard this, his face was embarrassed, and he said: "I am not good at learning, I only learned the fur with the master back then, this evil ghost is extremely powerful, I can't deal with him at all." ”

Li Ziping said: "Then this is easy to do, you just have to do as I say, I will keep the soul of Mrs. Li, and the evil ghost will not take it away." ”

Lao Li said: "You just say." ”

Li Ziping didn't speak, he started to walk out of the house, and then walked out of the door of the courtyard. Lao Li and the third uncle accompanied him, and they didn't dare to make a sound. At this time, the villagers and neighbors in the courtyard stopped talking and waited to see Li Ziping say something.

Li Ziping stood at the wooden gate of the courtyard and looked at it.

Out of the yard is a north-south transparent dirt road, although the road is not big, but it can be used by cattle and horses, to the north for ten miles, leading to the entrance of the village, to the south, is to the village more inside. But less than three meters to the south, there is another dirt road, which is transparent from east to west, and crosses and crosses. From this point of view, Lao Li's home is at a crossroads.

The crossroads are the places where ghosts roam the most, and there is a lot of gloom here. Nowadays, there is still a saying that when people feel that they have been lucky lately, or that the baby in the family is crying incessantly, they only need to take some money and burn some at the intersection at night to avoid being harassed by the lonely ghost.

Li Ziping opened his mouth and said: "Master Li, you let people prepare ten jars of home-brewed rice wine, an iron basin, and a black dog, and then find four or five strong men who are not afraid of things to listen to my dispatch, I will come to you at eight o'clock in the evening, and listen to my arrangement when the time comes." ”

"Okay." When Lao Li heard Li Ziping say this, he was immediately shocked.

"Ziping, can we take a look at the excitement here?" At this moment, someone in the neighborhood in the courtyard asked coaxingly.

Li Ziping smiled when he heard this, turned around, faced everyone, bowed, and said: "It's not impossible for everyone to want to see the excitement, but you must listen to me tonight, after ten o'clock, you need to stay in this courtyard, no matter what happens outside, don't take a step out of this door." ”

"That's not easy, rest assured that we have a sense of proportion, and we won't delay your work." An old man said.

Li Ziping nodded, returned to the house, lit three incense sticks, bowed to Mrs. Li three times, and said: "Mrs. Li is in the spirit of heaven, and I also bless someone Li with victory tonight." As soon as he spoke, he put the incense on the incense burner and said to Lao Li: "Master Li, I'm leaving, I'll come back at eight o'clock in the evening." ”

After speaking, he walked away, but he made the third uncle and Li Ye look at each other. I muttered in my heart, what did this kid just say? Let Mrs. Li bless? Dare he himself not be sure to deal with that evil ghost?
