According to the customs of our hometown, a soul-attracting chicken will be prepared at the time of burial to guide the soul on the road and prevent the soul from getting lost in the chaos.

After the deceased is buried, the cob of the soul lure is used to wipe the blood on the coffin lid, and then it is released. After the tomb is sealed, the Soul Attracting Chicken will chirp a few times, indicating that the ghost of the deceased has been successfully sent away.

Grandpa did not die at home, and when he sent his grandfather back, he would also prepare a soul-attracting chicken to lure his grandfather's ghost home, so as to avoid the ghost of a stranger who died in a foreign land.

Of course, the corpse chasers who used to walk around the land of Shenzhou will use the soul bell and do not need the soul chicken. I could have chosen other ways to get my grandfather home safely.

But I'm sure Grandpa must have preferred this most quaint way, and I had prepared the Soul Chicken before the crystal coffin was loaded into the car.

Along the way, the majestic-looking rooster had been quiet, honestly curled up in a corner of the carriage. At this time, the soul-attracting chicken suddenly crowed, which made me feel a sense of foreboding.

After the car stopped, I couldn't help but frown and glanced outside. The road is flanked by a large wooded area with lush foliage and dim light.

"How? Why did the car stop suddenly? Xiaobai muttered with some dissatisfaction.

Zhang Yang frowned: "It seems to have hit something." ”

Zhang Yang tried to start the car, and tried several times in a row, but it ended in failure. Zhang Yang's face became a little ugly: "Damn, it's broken!" I'll go down and have a look, and maybe you two will get down and push the cart later. ”

I nodded, Zhang Yang This is a voluntary help, I have no reason to complain about anything, but I have a faint feeling of uneasiness in my heart. When this happens at the time of burial, it is often the deceased who is reluctant to leave the house.

But we are now transporting Grandpa's body home, and Grandpa has no reason to stop us. After thinking about it for a while, I felt that my brain hurt and my eyes were a little pantothenic.

I wanted to use the Hope Qi technique to observe my grandfather carefully, but now I can only give up. The Qi Hope Technique consumes the essence in the body, and I can't use it for too long, otherwise it will damage my eyes, so I have to rest well before using it.

"You two come down and see what's going on, if you can't push the cart." Zhang Yang lifted the front car cover and fiddled with it for a while, and yelled a little frustratedly.

Xiaobai and I glanced at each other, got out of the car and took a look. The road was really uneven, but the wheels didn't get into the pits.

Zhang Yang checked it and found nothing abnormal. In desperation, Zhang Yang sat back in the cab and asked me and Xiaobai to push the car in the back to see if we could beat the car in this way.

"No, this car is too heavy to push it at all!" Two minutes later, Xiaobai couldn't help but complain.

We both gritted our teeth and pushed for two minutes, and the wheels didn't move. It's really strange, the talisman on Xiaobai's body hasn't expired yet, I've seen his strength, even if it's a big truck, he can push it.

Zhang Yang poked his head out of the car: "Forget it, call a tow truck." Chen Fan, does your grandfather have any unfulfilled wishes and is unwilling to go back? ”

Obviously, Zhang Yang also thought of this. The car can't be pushed, maybe it's not the car itself, maybe it's my grandfather who doesn't want to go back.

But there's no reason, send my grandfather home, what can he be dissatisfied with? Could it be that the home he wants to return to is not Xiahe Village?

That's right, my grandfather did explain a few words in that notebook, and asked me to bury his old man in the ancestral grave of the Chen family in Shanghe Village. But if I don't go back to Xiahe Village and ask someone about it, how do I know where Shanghe Village is?

"Sail, it's bad!" As I pondered, Xiaobai screamed.

The sky gradually darkened, and the atmosphere in Shunlin was a little depressing, and Xiaobai's sudden voice startled me.

I glared at him angrily: "What are you talking about?" Be quiet, don't be surprised! ”

Xiaobai scratched his head in embarrassment, then with a solemn expression, he pointed to the inside of the carriage: "Soul-attracting chicken, that soul-attracting chicken is dead!" ”

I felt a "groan" in my heart, and the soul-attracting chicken collapsed in the carriage, with a pool of blood and scattered chicken feathers under him. Looking closely, the neck of the Soul Attracting Chicken is twisted at a strange angle, and it looks like someone has broken its neck.

Zhang Yang jumped out of the car when he heard the news, stood beside me, and took a deep breath: "Chen Fan, we guess we have hit the evil spirit, you are an expert in this area, do you have any good solutions?" ”

Good way? In fact, I'm not sure what kind of situation we have encountered, so I don't dare to make a move without permission, and if it is really grandpa who is unwilling to go back, I am worried that it will hurt grandpa's ghost.

That's right, Qi Seeking! I just mastered the Qi Hope Technique, if Grandpa's Yin Ghost is nearby, I can see my grandfather with the Hope Qi Technique, and then communicate with his old man.

Thinking of this, I quickly held my breath and felt the heat on my back. A moment later, there was a burning sensation in my back, and I immediately turned on that heat flow, and after a week of running along the meridians, the heat condensed near my eyes.

The moment I opened my eyes, my eyes tingled. I saw a pair of big black hands on the crystal coffin, firmly clasping the lid of the coffin.

In just two seconds, my eyes were already painful, and before I could see what was going on, I had to close my eyes.

But the moment I closed my eyes, I shuddered, and there was a black shadow lying on the front wheel, which looked like a person!

"Fanzi, how are you?" Xiaobai rushed up to help me.

The essence in my body was overdepleted, and I was a little weak. When I opened my eyes again, although I couldn't use the Qi Lookout technique, I could feel the Yin Qi all around me.

Looking into the carriage, I couldn't see the hands on the coffin at all. And under the front wheels, there is no figure at all.

I swallowed hard and spit, and we were in trouble! If I can't see those things under normal conditions, it can only mean that my strength is not enough, and the Qi Hope Technique will not go wrong.

Now we are likely to have encountered the ghosts blocking the way, and these ghosts may be nearby lonely ghosts, or they may be resentful spirits with other intentions.

If it's the former, it's all easy to say. In case we encounter a spirit, it will not be easy to get out of here.

I took a deep breath and hurriedly ordered, "Quick, get the yellow paper out and send them money!" ”

Lonely souls and wild ghosts often block the way for money, and burning a few knives of yellow table paper can make them leave satisfied. Now I have to prepare with both hands, while Xiaobai and Zhang Yang go to burn the paper, I am ready to carry my grandfather out of the crystal coffin.

As the yellow paper burned, I looked out and saw a group of ragged ghosts standing around the fire! But instead of staring at the fire, they stared at me with cold eyes.

At this moment, my whole body seemed to have fallen into an ice cave, and I couldn't help but tremble. My worst fears have arisen, these ghosts are not seeking wealth!

There were more and more ghosts around the fire, and there were more and more shadows, and it seemed that there were at least a hundred. And Xiaobai and Zhang Yang squatted beside the fire, and continued to burn the yellow table paper surrounded by the ghosts, unaware of the approaching danger.

"Run, run! Don't burn, run for your life! I yelled and pry the lid of the coffin.

My anxious palms were sweating, but the lid of the coffin was very tight, and it was also pressed by the ghost, and it was difficult to pry it open. I caught a glimpse of Xiaobai and Zhang Yang having gotten up and rushed towards me, and they had no idea how dangerous our situation was now.

"Leave me alone, run! With the amulet in your hand, run quickly, and I'll catch up with you in a moment! I scolded again.

Xiaobai finally stopped and dragged Zhang Yang in the direction of our village. He knew me best, and even if he wanted to rush over to help me, he would suppress the urge in his heart.

Because he knows very well that coming here now will not help me in the slightest, but may become a burden to me. No matter how strong his strength is, there is nothing he can do in the face of the Yin Spirit, he can only believe my words.

It should be more than ten miles away from Xiahe Village, but you will encounter other villages on the way, and the ghosts in crowded places will not be so unscrupulous.

A part of the Yin Spirits chased after the two of them, but they didn't dare to get too close. The two of them have the peace charms I prepared on them, and they will not be in danger anytime soon.

However, according to this situation, the yin qi around them is too strong, and the peace charm will soon become invalid, so I can only pray that the two of them can run to a certain village as soon as possible.

Some of the Yin Spirits were attracted by Xiaobai, but more stayed here. The spirits crawled into the carriage one after another, pulling the lid of the coffin with their hands, preventing me from opening it.

"Shit, fuck off!" I yelled and pulled the money sword out of my luggage.

With a swing of the sword, the ghosts all retreated. The Money Sword is very effective in warding off evil spirits, and once the Yin Soul touches the Money Sword, it will take serious damage.

Taking advantage of the temporary retreat of the ghost, I lifted the lid of the coffin without hesitation: "Grandpa, I'm sorry. It's all Xiaofan's incompetence, you can be wronged first, and I'll take you home! ”

I put a talisman on my grandfather's forehead and jumped out of the car carrying his corpse. A dense network of ghosts surged towards me, and countless pairs of eyes seemed to be staring at me in the woods.

"Get out of the way, roadblocker, soul is gone!" I roared, protecting my grandfather with one hand and wielding the money sword with the other.

I'm human too, and I'm scared too, and being surrounded by so many ghosts, both of my legs are weak. But I didn't dare to fall, I had to rush out with my grandfather.

"Sneer......" The money sword came into contact with the Yin Spirit, and some of the weaker hidden dangers instantly turned into a puff of white smoke.

But more Yin Spirits, even if they touched the Money Sword, were only a little weaker. They weren't afraid to get out of their minds and continued to rush towards me.

This situation is very wrong, it is already strange to encounter so many ghosts here. And these ghosts are still crazy, and they seem to be determined to kill me, are they all being manipulated?

At the moment of life and death, I don't think about it so much. I wielded the money sword to kill the red eyes, I have no sympathy for these ghosts, and if I dare to stop me, I will have the consciousness of being scattered.

It feels like half a century has passed, but I've only just gotten a few hundred meters away from the police car, and I haven't stepped out of this large wooded area yet. There are so many ghosts, and I already feel a deep weariness.

Suddenly, I stepped on something, I fell to the ground.
