Chapter 651: The First Seven Looks
"Don't knock on it, your head will be stupid for a while." After waking up, I yelled at Li Hao. I don't know if he heard my voice or was shocked by my angry expression, Li Hao, the dead bull nose, put away the peach wood sword in his hand and said to me with a smile. It's just that to my dismay, I can only see his mouth moving, but I can't hear what he's saying at all.
Seeing that I was confused, Li Hao seemed to have noticed something. So he closed his mouth and began to gesture with me in sign language. Next Olympics! What's the matter with this Nima, is it that after the soul leaves the body, it can't communicate with words?
Looking at Li Hao first pointed at his body, and then pointed at his feet, I found that a thread with the thickness of an arm was wrapped around his ankle, and likewise, my ankle was also wrapped around a golden dong that was thicker than him. Immediately afterwards, Li Hao pointed to the ground again, and then pointed at him, which probably meant that I should follow him, do I have any other choice, really.
After seeing that I understood what he meant, Li Hao led the way, and I followed closely and began to search for Ling's soul that was taken away by the little ghost.
The two of us first came to the room where Section Chief Xu was, and found that the people below were all worried, as if they should be worried about the two of us, no, it should be the safety of the two souls. Subsequently, Li Hao pulled me to Ling's bed, first lifted Ling's ankle and looked, I found that on Ling's ankle, there was a broken thin thread, the color was white, and after I finished reading Ling's situation, Li Hao took me back to the house.
After this guy came in, he first pulled out the peachwood sword and shook it in my ear, which dazzled me, and then slammed the broken peachwood sword above my mouth, and after about a minute, I heard the other person say to me, "Can you hear me talk this time?" β
"What did you just do?" I asked Li Hao in a daze.
"It's nothing, it's just that the vast majority of people, when they find out that their souls are out of their bodies, are afraid. And the most concrete form of fear is to make a lot of noise, shouting to go back. I'm afraid you're just like those people, so I did a little bit of work on your seven orifices before your soul left your body, and I didn't erase the cinnabar talisman that sealed your five senses until you were fully accustomed to the current situation. Li Hao said it was relaxed and pleasant, but I didn't feel good when I heard it.
Forget it, the top priority now is to retrieve Ling's soul, as for other things, they are all trivial matters and can be discussed later. "How do you find Ling's soul?" I came up and asked straight to the point.
"According to the thickness of the soul rope tied to Ling's ankle, I think this woman was taken by the little ghost to the Wangtiantai, we have to hurry up and catch up with the little ghost of the office, otherwise once we go to the Wangtiantai, even if the Eighteen Arhats come in person, we can't bring back the soul of that stupid woman." Li Hao has a great opinion of Ling, a stupid woman in the words, you can hear it, it seems that I don't mess with him on weekdays, and he doesn't say mine behind his back.
"What is the Lookout Terrace?" It's just that I don't know much about the term "Wangtiantai", so I immediately asked Li Hao.
"Alas!" Li Hao sighed helplessly, "Let's explain to you as we go." After saying this, Li Hao drew a few times on his feet and my feet, and then I felt that my body was light, and under Li Hao's traction, our bodies actually floated towards the outside of the hotel.
Just when I watched the buildings below gradually become smaller and felt extremely surprised, the voice of Li Hao's explanation also came into my ears at the same time. "Wangtiantai is a place where the dead must pass, just like crossing the Nai He Bridge to drink Meng Po soup, to put it bluntly, it is a process that must be taken when a ghost."
Li Hao is talking, the speed of walking is really not covered, just a few words, the two of us left Anshan City, and the feet have become pitch black, and I can't see where we are going at the moment.
"Meng Po Tang, I've heard of the bridge, but I look at the roof..."
Li Hao threw a look at me knowing that you didn't understand anything, and then continued: "Do you know that the first seven weishenme want to burn paper?" "I don't know!" You see how concise the little lady's answer is.
"Then I'll tell you the key to this." When Li Hao said this, he suddenly stopped, and then pulled me to stand up straight, and saw a few crimson things not far away, holding forks in their hands and walking towards the two of us.
"Don't talk, don't stare at people." Li Hao stabbed my buttocks with the peachwood sword and said to me in a low voice. "Oh!" I replied very simply, but it still didn't stop my curiosity, and as the guys approached, I looked carefully out of the corner of my eye at what was passing in front of us.
Just look at these guys, the one they wear is called a broken ah, basically take a rag wrapped in the lower body, rickety back, one person holds a steel fork in his hand, panting, first looked at the two of us, when he saw the soul rope under our feet, turned his head, and very quickly hit the two of us in front of the eyes. This is nothing, the guy who led the team, in the center of his head, actually has a horn, you say it's not weird.
"Don't look at it, let's go." Li Hao was very reluctant to poke my ass again, and then pulled me towards the rooftop to speed up.
"What did you just see?" This Nima appeared one question mark after another, and I didn't even know what to ask.
"It's just a ghost pawn in charge of patrolling the underworld, it's worth all your fuss!" Li Hao answered my question impatiently, and then continued to explain the first seven things.
"In our China, the first seven is a funeral custom, and there are also those called Shangwang, but its existence is not unreasonable. Because on the evening of the seventh day after death, the deceased will return to the place where he lived before his death to see his family. At this time, the family often has to prepare five bowls of food for the deceased to feed the deceased who returns home, so that they can have the strength to enter the six realms of reincarnation.
In our northern region, there is even a ladder at the chimney of the deceased's house, or buy a ladder with papier-mΓ’chΓ© to put at the chimney. The purpose is to allow the deceased to follow the ladder and reincarnate as soon as possible. β
"But what does this have to do with the rooftop?" I have to say that my knowledge in this area is too scarce.
"After a person dies, the soul will come out of the body, and when it encounters a ghost, it will be caught by the other party and escorted to the Yin Judge, and the Yin Judge will lead the team to bring these dead souls to the Wangtian Platform. From the lookout, you can see what your family is doing after you die, because many of the dead souls don't know that they are dead, clamoring to go back, and even preparing to call the police. When he said this, Li Hao and I both laughed.
After laughing, Li Hao continued: "When they see their corpses and the images of their families in pain, the vast majority of the dead souls will be convinced that they are dead, and these people will be led back to their homes by the ghost guards on the night of the first seven days, they should eat, drink, and then go to the underworld, and according to the records on the merit book, the judge will determine which of the six realms they should enter. β
