I realized I was in trouble. But I didn't expect Aunt Xue to beat me. So I was a little confused for a while, and I was stunned in the house.

The old man sighed and said to Aunt Xue: Forget it. He doesn't have a heart either. Let's find a way to remedy it.

Then, they supported Xue Qian and helped him into the bedroom. Along the way, both of them were muttering quietly, as if discussing something.

A few minutes later, the two men walked out, both with the same expression on their faces: looking at me meaningfully.

I was a little hairy by them, and I couldn't help but say: Do you want to kill me now and give Xue Qian his life.

Aunt Xue nodded: If Xue Qian died, I would do so.

The old man smiled strangely: So you'd better cooperate with us and find a way to save Xue Qian.

When I heard this, I rejoiced: How? Xue Qian is still saved?

The old man nodded: As long as you are obedient.

I subconsciously felt a hint of danger: Wait, you tell me first, what the hell is going on. And what needs to be done from me.

Aunt Xue obviously calmed down, and said succinctly: Our ancestor once had a grudge with a ghost woman. Today's qiē is all forced by the Yin ghost woman.

I asked strangely: What is a ghost woman?

The old man said: The Yin ghost woman is a special kind of ghost. They like to look for young men and marry him. On the night of the wedding, the man's soul was taken and refined by a special means. In order to keep their youth forever. Every Yin Ghost Woman has lived for at least a few hundred years. Whenever they feel they are aging, they appear in the world.

Aunt Xue continued: All the males in our family, on the twenty-fourth birthday, the souls will be taken away by the Yin Ghost Mother. Xue Qian's father is like this, and so is his grandfather. When my husband married the ghost woman, I was next to me, and I still can't forget that tragic appearance.

The old man sighed and said: Xue Qian is Mrs. Xue's widow. She's such an amazing woman. I came to me with my baby and asked me to come up with a way to kill this ghost woman and stop the child in my womb from suffering this sin.

I nodded knowingly, and then asked tentatively: So, you two failed today?

The old man smiled bitterly and said, "If it weren't for you, we would have succeeded today."

He pointed to a broken bowl on the table: these liquids were corpse oil. Soaked in it were the nails and hair of the dead.

As soon as I heard this, I looked at the bowl of greasy stuff again, and immediately retched.

The old man was still looking at himself and said: Three days ago, Mrs. Xue and I quietly rushed back and prepared a qiē. Just now, I was roasting these things on the fire, and in a moment and a half, the corpse oil steamed out, which could confuse the Yin Ghost Woman and make her think that Xue Qian was marrying another evil ghost. I am ninety percent sure that I can discourage her from snatching Xue Qian's soul. As long as this succeeds, he will be kept safe for at least twelve years. It's a pity that the Yin Ghost Woman came too early. Before I could get my mechanism in place, I was seen through.

I cautiously asked: Could it be because of me that the Yin Ghost Woman came so early?

The old man looked at me and said, "It's because of you." I've painted charms all around this house. The narrow street covered with locust trees alone made it difficult for her to get through. Especially the gate, which was blocked by me layer by layer. Even if she could rush in, it would be almost dawn. Unexpectedly, you just happened to pass through here, not only helped her easily cross the narrow street, but also helped her open the door.

I felt a pang of weakness. Hurriedly changed the topic and said to the old man: You are so capable, why didn't you stop her when the female ghost broke in? Hanged yourself instead?

The old man sighed lonely: I was seriously injured because of some things. Now it's just a waste. How can you have the ability to fight with the yin ghost woman?

I had to smile bitterly, and then asked: Didn't you just say that Xue Qian still has a chance to be saved? What do I need to do?

The old man thought for a moment and patted me on the shoulder: save him back, now there is no hurry. You sleep first, and I'll call you later.

I sighed: "Something so big happened, do you think I'll be able to fall asleep?"

The old man smiled strangely and said to me, "Of course."

Then I felt someone press my neck, and my head went numb, and I lost consciousness.

I also don't know how long I slept. I just know that when I wake up again, I feel like I'm in a different world.

I got out of bed. Rubbing his neck and thinking: Didn't the old man get seriously injured and become a waste? This hand just now is quite powerful.

At this time, the sun is about to set. It seems that I slept for a long time.

When I walked to the living room, I saw the old man and Aunt Xue rummaging through a piece of clothing.

I asked the old man, "Daoist, what are you doing here?"

The old man said: Don't call me Taoist, just call me Mr. Lu.

He pointed to the clothes in his hand and said: This is Xue Qian's clothes. Then he pointed to a pile of egg shells on the ground: these were eggs that had been hatching for eighteen days. The chick inside will be formed but not formed, and when it is opened, it will be the most angry inside, but there will be no resentment. I smeared egg whites on my clothes. It can create the illusion that this is Xue Qian's soul to the Yin Ghost Woman.

I was a little confused and said: You shouldn't be stealing beams and changing pillars, right?

Mr. Lu nodded: Yes, young man, you are quite smart.

I scratched my head, thought about it, and said embarrassedly: "You have a good idea." But how do you find the Yin Ghost Woman? How can she change people back under her nose?

Mr. Lu put away his clothes. It was placed in a paper bag and then sealed with a piece of yellow paper. He said to me: It is not difficult to find the Yin Ghost Woman, although my legs and feet are not good now, but the things that make plans behind the scenes are not a big problem. The key is whether you can calm down and quietly replace people.

I waved my hand: Of course, I was halfway through this, and suddenly I reacted: What are you talking about? Let me trade people back?

Mr. Lu said as a matter of course: Yes. You messed things up. Of course, you have to get people back. Didn't we say it?

I weighed it and could only nod: what do you want me to do? Isn't this trip dangerous?

Mr. Lu looked confident: As long as you listen to me, there is no danger.

Then he patted me on the shoulder, pointed to the compass on the table, and said, "Do you see this line?" You follow this line. Don't be biased for a while. Then you'll see a room, right in the center, right on this line. The ghost woman lives in this room.

I looked out in the direction the compass was pointing. The line passes through the gate and over the locust grove, and it is not known where it leads.

At this time, the sun was setting, and it was already dark. Mr. Lu asked me: Do you have anything on you that can reflect light?

I pulled out my phone and said, "Is this a good idea?"

Mr. Lu nodded: Count. You leave your phone behind.

I'm in a hurry: I don't have my mobile phone, how can I contact you later?

Mr. Lu waved his hand: No one has contacted you. Out of this door, life and death are up to you. Then he handed me the paper bag: When you find Xue Qian, take out the clothes. Then bring him back. After saying this, he began to push me outside.

I panicked: go now? What did I say when I saw the ghost woman? Won't she kill me?

Mr. Lu patted his head: Blame me, blame me, I'm too anxious. I haven't explained it yet.

As soon as I heard this, my heart was cold: Mr. Lu, I am also a life, you can't take it seriously.

Mr. Lu nodded sincerely: Of course I will take it seriously. You can rest assured. I'll give you a baby.

Then he took out a small stone-like thing: when you go out, take this treasure in your mouth. When you see the Yin Ghost Woman, no matter what she says to you, you don't pay attention to it. As long as you don't talk nonsense, she shouldn't deal with you. When she gets impatient and goes to find Xue Qian, you will quietly follow, and then take advantage of her unpreparedness to bring people back.

After Mr. Lu said this, he couldn't help but say, and stuffed the stone into my mouth. Then he handed me the compass and pointed to the line on it. Said: Go, don't talk, don't look back, don't deviate from this line.
