What is this woman doing here?

Liu Yuwei's eyes motioned to me what to do, I looked around, pulled her to the roof garden, and found a corner and squatted: You are hiding here, I will go and see what is going on.

Are you kidding? Tell me to hide alone in a house where someone has committed suicide! I don't! Liu Yuwei immediately protested in a low voice.

Then you're going to listen to me! I nodded.

The roof garden is a very uniform plastic soil trough with a length of 2 meters and a width of about 1 meter, which is planted with all kinds of flowers and plants, because there is no light, I can probably recognize vanilla, orchids, kudzu vines, orchids and other things, and the things in each clay trough do not seem to be exactly the same.

From the bottom, she seemed to be ready to enter the door, and I said to Liu Yuwei with a brick: Take off your shoes and walk with only socks!

Although she didn't understand why, Liu Yuwei immediately took off her sneakers.

I took off my shoes, grabbed Liu Yuwei's hand, and walked silently through two rows of stairs with my socks on, and went to the stairs above the living room to see what was going on.

After entering the door, before anyone came in, a hand sprinkled a pile of red paper directly into the sky, and after the red paper slowly fell to the ground, Li Shuqin walked in.

I couldn't see what she was wearing, but I realized that she was actually wearing a white dress like a funeral dress. Black しし Pavilion

After a cloud of red paper fluttered on the floor, she pinched a large pile of things in her hand: candles or something, and began to light them beside her.

One by one, the candles were inserted on the ground, one symmetrical on the left and one on the left, slowly extending towards the staircase. Sprinkle some red paper on the ground every time you go a little further, and then walk a little further this way.

The red paper paves the way and the wax torch of the soul attraction wheel is like a lamp to illuminate the soul, the dead don't ask where the road ahead is, look at my red road can go out.

What is she doing? Liu Yuwei asked in a low voice.

Repair the path of the dead. I said silently: I just don't know who it's for.

Isn't it for Zhao Shihan to repair? Although Liu Yuwei didn't understand very well, she still asked a little strangely.

I shook my head.

The Soul Road is for people who have been dead for a long time, and the souls of people like Zhao Shihan who have just died have been taken away, so it can't be her.

We kept looking.

Li Shuqin continued to sprinkle red paper and light candles, and everyone would feel very strange when she saw such a scene at three o'clock in the middle of the night.

Liu Yuwei tugged on my arm hard, maybe she was too nervous, she kept squatting beside me and held a position for too long and felt a little uncomfortable, so she changed her position.

However, this inadvertently touched a handy tool hanging on the wall next to us: because we happened to be a wine cabinet next to us, there was a wine opener hanging on the wall next to us.

With a bang, the corkscrew slammed into the wooden wall.

Harsh!

Although the sound was very slight, it was still very clear in the silence.

Li Shuqin was surprised that the thing in her hand almost didn't fall.

Just as I was thinking about what to do, Li Shuqin covered her mouth vigorously, and then made a move that I didn't expect.

She suddenly knelt on the spot, and without hesitation, there were three bangs!

I felt my head hurt when I heard the sound of kowtowing, she must have been deadly, and it was particularly harsh in the silence of the room.

After kowtowing three times, she stood up crookedly, probably making herself dizzy because she was too hard: her forehead was red, and it seemed that she was almost bleeding.

Did she kill someone? Liu Yuwei just thought that she had made a big mistake, and sighed when she saw that she was lucky not to cause a big disaster, but when she saw Li Shuqin's appearance, she was even more puzzled.

Watch out for what she's going to do, and don't move. I shook my head and said.

After resting for a while, Li Shuqin seemed to be listening carefully to whether there was any movement, and after confirming that there was not, she began to continue to sprinkle red paper and light candles.

The road of the dead continued to extend, and then began to go up the stairs, towards Zhao Shihan's room.

Liu Yuwei and I hid in the dark, looking at her appearance: her whole body was covered with sweat, even her white clothes were soaked, her face was not only panicked but also anxious, her body had begun to collapse a little but was constantly speeding up and extending forward.

As Li Shuqin's position continued to move inward, I also pulled Liu Yuwei to retreat constantly, and finally when we came to Zhao Shihan's room, I pulled Liu Yuwei to hide behind a large dirt trough and continued to watch.

If this path of the dead soul is for Zhao Shihan, then it should extend to the head of the bed.

But Li Shuqin didn't, but bypassed Zhao Shihan's bedside and continued to stretch forward.

Passing by Zhao Shihan's bedside, that is, where she committed suicide, Li Shuqin lit a thicker red candle and three rings.

What's going on?

After the initial fear, Liu Yuwei finally survived her nervous tension and began to be able to think about problems with a more normal attitude.

(The so-called nervous tension period refers to: people are in a state of mind that makes them very nervous, and after a period of time, they begin to gradually adapt to it, so that they can relax, this time varies from person to person, of course, there are two situations that have not been able to stop and have been nervous)

That was the place where Zhao Shihan died, and she had to give Zhao Shihan a candle. I explained it and motioned to continue reading.

Finally, the path of the revenant continued to stretch forward, and actually entered the garden, and finally, in front of a dirt trough.

Is it in the dirt trough?

Each of these dirt troughs is two meters long and one meter five wide, and it couldn't be easier to bury a body in them

I was a little horrified when I thought of this, and I continued to look at it.

Li Shuqin's ghost road finally arrived here, and I looked at the time: it took her a full two hours, and it was already five o'clock in the morning.

The path of the revenant must be before dawn to have an effect, then

Li Shuqin lit two thick ever-bright candles in the same place, then took out 9 pillars of incense, lit them all on the ever-bright candles, inserted them on an incense stand on the ground, and silently recited something in her mouth after bowing on the ground.

Contemplation of Freedom Bodhisattva. When walking deep in Prajnaparamita. Seeing that the aggregates are empty, and all suffering is overcome. Relic. The color is not different from the emptiness. Empty and not heterochromatic. Color is emptiness

Quietly, I could hear it clearly, she was reciting the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra

The road to the dead soul is a Taoist technique, and now I actually start to recite the Buddhist classics again, what kind of mash-up is this?

"Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" is the most widely circulated Buddhist scripture, the whole text is more than 300 words, it is very rhythmic to read and easy to memorize, it is the easiest to eliminate disasters and avoid misfortune.

After reciting the sutra back and forth seven times, she seemed to have finally come to her senses, slowly stood up, first looked behind her and checked the candles on the path of the dead: when they were all lit, she took out a shovel and began to dig.

Is it really the body buried here?

Liu Yuwei looked at me, obviously thinking the same thing as me: Is there a corpse hidden in it?

Read on. I don't understand either.

The paving of the road to the dead soul is a record in a book that my grandfather handed me before, except for the last 7 times, Li Shuqin's approach is completely correct. But in fact, this Dao technique is not a very strict Dao technique, and it is nothing if it is missing.

As Li Shuqin's shovel kept waving and throwing the dug soil aside, I realized that this Li Shuqin was a very strong woman: the muscles on her body should be very obvious to the body wet with sweat: the muscles are all linear, but it should not be a person who practices martial arts, just the kind of person who regularly participates in physical exercise.

As the excavation continued to deepen, Li Shuqin finally dug up something.

This dirt trough is about 1 meter high. Li Shuqin leaned in, and then took out something.

By the light, I found that it was a jar about the size of a human head.

The jar resembles a kimchi jar, the edges are very well sealed with mud, and it looks like something very old.

Columbarium. I whispered to Liu Yuwei.

Liu Yuwei seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: if a rotting corpse or something was dug up inside, it was estimated that Liu Yuwei would be nervous to death again.

After reporting the first columbarium, Li Shuqin did not stop, and then took out the second one.

In this way, after holding out a total of five urns, she finally did not dig again, but took out a few pieces of black cloth from her arms, wrapped them all one by one, and then dripped wax oil on the parcel to seal it.

When she was done, she pulled out a large bag. Put the five columbarium jars very solemnly into the bag.

So she came here to remove these urns?

Now I feel that things seem to be a little wrong: could it be that these urns are for her ancestors and relatives or something, and she will have to take a few ashes with her when she leaves here?

But I immediately rejected my idea: if it was a relocation, the correct way was to wrap the urn in a red cloth, but why is it a black cloth now?

And the meaning of the road of the dead soul is to let the souls of several columbariums leave with their own columbariums, so who are these columbariums?

After solemnly wrapping a few columbariums, she seemed to have finally settled a big matter, picked up the pack and prepared to leave.

It was at this time that I suddenly felt a strange sound.

Sou

It's windy!

A gust of wind poured in from nowhere!

When I came here, I made sure that every window here is completely locked, and that the house is very high-end: all the windows can be electrically controlled, why do the windows open suddenly?

But the effect of a gust of wind was that all the red paper on the ground was blown up, all over the sky, and the candles on the road of the dead were almost all extinguished!

Only at the head of the bed where Zhao Shihan died, the thickest candle was still burning.
