Chapter 25: The Ghost Son-in-law

Huo Meng's eyes widened, he looked at Wei Lai incredulously, and said in surprise: "You...... How do you know? ”

Wei Lai's face was not very good-looking, and he said: "The ghost son-in-law is because the man has encountered a ghost, and his soul has been detained by the female ghost, and he is regarded as the groom of the female ghost, commonly known as the ghost son-in-law, such an evil thing is not easy to eliminate, it is very troublesome." ”

Huo Meng turned around and looked at the cemetery, and said with fright: "Let's go back to the village first, fortunately, I am not at home often, otherwise it will be bad to be recruited as a ghost son-in-law." ”

Wei Lai said mockingly: "Just like you, I don't think ghosts will like you." ”

"Fuck off."

Huo Meng's home is in the center of the village, and Huo Meng's father is the village chief of the village, when Huo Meng arrived home, he found that the family's meals had been prepared, but there was no one in the house, Huo Meng was about to go out to look for it, Huo Meng's father happened to come back from outside.

"Dad, what are you doing out, why didn't my mother come back with me?" Huo Meng asked curiously.

"Something happened, the child of the Chengcai family lost his soul, and now it's getting more and more serious." Huo Meng's father smoked a cigarette and frowned.

"Wei Lai, let's go over and have a look." Huo Meng pulled Wei and said.

When Huo Meng and Wei Lai came to Chengcai's house, there were already many people standing in the courtyard, leaning their necks to look into the house, peach branches and yellow paper were placed at the door, and a big red rooster was tied with its feet, struggling to shake around, flapping its wings and kicking up dust.

"Let's go in and have a look." Wei Lai said to Huo Meng.

There are also many people standing in the house, looking anxiously at the kang, on which sits a blind man in plain clothes, the blind man holds a peach branch in his hand, and the other hand grasps the small hand of the child of the Chengcai family, and turns the peach branch on the child's thumb, and recites words in his mouth.

"Immortals return to the temple, ghosts return to the grave, bulls and horses face Mo hook people; The three souls are complete, the seven spirits turn, and the black and white impermanence returns to the underworld......"

The blind man's mouth kept chattering, and the children of the Chengcai family turned even paler, and when the blind man stopped chanting, he said to everyone: "The child's soul has been detained, I don't know where the child has been playing recently?" ”

After the blind man finished speaking, Chengcai stepped forward nervously, thinking about the recent events, and suddenly his face changed greatly, his face was bloodless, and he said in a panic: "I took the child to work in the field the day before yesterday, and when he passed by the cemetery, he wanted to go to the toilet, so he asked him to stay away and squat, but there was no abnormal reaction when he came back." ”

"Then it should be there, at first the fire is strong, there will be no reaction, and after a while, the fire is weak, and the consequences of losing the soul will be revealed." The blind man took a puff of the cigarette in his hand and said.

"Old Immortal, you save my child, my family is just this baby bump, you must save him." Chengcai pulled his daughter-in-law to kneel down in front of the blind man, crying and pleading.

The blind man put his hand on the child's pulse, closed his eyes, and said, "The pulse is unstable, but it is not completely weak, which means that the soul is not real, and it is still saved." ”

Hearing that his child was still being treated, Chengcai pulled his daughter-in-law and breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Old Immortal, even if you command, I will get what you want as soon as possible." ”

"It's not in a hurry, I'll stand up for incense first."

The blind man got up and went to the ground, let his apprentice take out the red thread, and then took out a long incense stick from the bundle of incense candles, and stroked it along the edge of the red thread.

"Okay, the direction is the graveyard, now let's prepare things." The blind man took off the incense and said to the two of them.

When Wei Lai saw this, he said to Huo Meng, "Let's go." ”

Huo Meng looked distracted, and when he heard Wei Lai calling himself, he subconsciously responded, but his eyes did not leave the area of the red line, and he was attracted by the mysterious and strange red line.

"Let's go." Wei Lai shook his head with a wry smile and urged again.

Huo Meng reacted this time, turned around and said, "Oh, I know, you just called me?" ”

Wei Lai pulled Huo Meng and brought him home, just as Huo Meng's mother came back, knowing that Huo Meng was back with his classmates, Huo Meng's parents warmly entertained him, and the four of them began to eat, talking about things in the village from time to time.

"Son, you don't know the situation in the village when you go to school, so it's better not to go to the cemetery, it's even more noisy than before." Huo Meng's father picked up the wine glass, and after speaking, he raised his head and drank it.

Huo Meng nodded yes, and then pointed at Wei and said, "Dad, don't worry, my classmate is very powerful, just this little thing in our village, he will know it when the time comes." ”

Wei Lai knew that Huo Meng said this, but even if Huo Meng didn't say it, he was also curious about the things in the cemetery, and seeing that Huo Meng's parents' eyes were focused on him, Wei Lai squinted his eyes and said solemnly: "The children of the Chengcai family are not so simple, they are not detained, but they are locked in their lives." ”

"Lock your life?" Huo Meng repeated suspiciously, and his parents were also puzzled.

Wei Lai continued: "That blind man has some strength, but he didn't see it thoroughly, the real reason is not the child who became a talent, but the talent himself. ”

Huo Meng was just about to pick up vegetables, but when Wei Lai said this, the hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and he said in a trembling voice: "You mean ghosts...... Ghost son-in-law. ”

"It's still uncertain, the soul fire of Chengcai will be extinguished, the breath is strong on the outside and dry in the middle, Yintang is black but there is no blood, the biggest possibility is that he has encountered something unclean." Wei Lai nodded and said.

Wei Lai and Huo Meng looked solemn, what they said at the dinner table was a little weird, Huo Meng's parents didn't understand, looking at the expressions of the two of them was a little unnatural, even looking at Huo Meng's eyes was a little unfamiliar, as if the child in front of him was not his son.

"Daddy, what kind of eyes do you have, I understand that these things are good things, and they can be used for self-defense." Huo Meng saw his father looking at him and explained loudly.

Wei Lai didn't speak at this time, Huo Meng's parents chattered when they saw Huo Meng, and what they knew was that Huo Meng knew some supernatural things, if they didn't know, they thought they had brought Huo Meng badly.

After eating, Huo Meng pulled Wei Lai to the house, closed the window, and said in a low voice: "Wei Lai, I know you have a way, you can help our village, there is no way to go on like this." ”

Wei Lai frowned, shook his head and said: "It's not that I don't help you, it's because I don't know the situation of the cemetery, so let's do it, that blind man's soul conjuring needs to cast spells at night, let's go find out the situation at night, and first find out if Chengcai is a ghost son-in-law." ”

Wei Lai felt that things were very strange, on the surface, it seemed that the child of the Chengcai family had lost his soul, but Chengcai's own problems were greater, the main problem was still in the cemetery, as long as Chengcai was the ghost son-in-law, he would definitely go to the cemetery at night, Wei Lai planned to follow Chengcai and explore the secrets in the depths of the cemetery.

Wei Lai and Huo Meng waited outside Chengcai's house, saw Chengcai and his wife send the blind man away, and then prepared things in the house, when midnight came, Chengcai went out with a paper lamp made by the blind man and walked in the direction of the cemetery.

Chengcai lit the paper lamp, emitting a dim yellow light, which was extremely eye-catching in the dark night, like a fluttering flame, weird and mysterious.

Cheng Cai walked to the intersection, knelt down in the direction of the cemetery, took out the prepared yellow paper and incense candles, as well as various paper ingots, money and other worship supplies, and then burned all the things, looking at the constantly burning items, Chengcai gathered the soil on the ground, fixed the incense candles in the mound, and recited the words in his mouth:

"It doesn't matter if you are a ghost in the underworld, or if you are an immortal in the yang world, everything you want is given to you, so return my child's soul."

Cheng Cai kept churning the items, making the flame burn more vigorously, and kept repeating what he had just said in his mouth until all the things were burned, Cheng Cai lit the incense candle fixed on the ground, and then picked up the paper lamp at hand, and walked towards the house, without looking back once halfway.

Chengcai stretched out the paper lamp to the front, and slowly recited silently in his mouth, and his faint voice was hoarse and weird: "Chenglin, Chenglin, Dad is here to pick you up, Chenglin, Chenglin, Dad is here to pick you up......"

Huo Meng's eyes widened, goosebumps broke out all over his body, and when he heard Chengcai's voice, his scalp was a little numb, and he asked Wei Laidao, "What are you doing?" ”

Wei Lai stared closely behind Cheng Cai, and whispered: "This is a soul conjuring, if it succeeds, this Cheng Lin's soul will follow." ”

"What, is there really a soul?" Huo Meng didn't believe it, but when he heard Wei Lai say this, he couldn't help but be puzzled.

"Shhhh Wei Lai covered Huo Meng's mouth and pointed behind Chengcai.

Huo Meng looked behind Chengcai, only to see Chengcai constantly repeating the silent recitation, and the paper lamp in his hand was shaking, and at this moment, a vague figure appeared in the direction of the cemetery, following in the direction of Chengcai.

The vague figure moves woodenly, the figure is the same as the child, Huo Meng rubbed his eyes, and when he looked carefully, he found that the figure behind him was the child of Chengcai, and the child's expression was dull, staring straight at Chengcai, and he followed step by step.

"His kid is behind him, why don't you look back?" Huo Meng felt chills all over his body, and when he saw that Chengcai didn't look back, he said suspiciously.

Wei Lai took out the black talisman and put it in Huo Meng's pocket, Huo Meng felt that his whole body was much warmer, no longer as cold as just now, and Huo Meng's doubts became heavier.

Wei Lai pointed to the soul of the talented child, and said in a low voice: "This is called soul summoning, it can only be carried out at midnight when the yang energy is the weakest, and the soul conjuring must not turn back, because the soul cannot see the living, can only hear the sound and see the paper lamp, if you turn back at this time, the exhaled yang energy will frighten the soul, and it will be difficult to conjure the soul again." ”

"Then why was it so cold that I felt like I had fallen into an ice cellar?"

"The conjuring chooses midnight, in addition to the reason why the yang energy is the weakest, there is also the reason why you don't want others to see it, because the soul is detained by the ghost, it is often contaminated with filthy yin energy, the soul conjuring will not turn back, and there are very few people who are contaminated by this yin energy, and you not only see the yin spirit, but also contaminated with yin qi, that is to say, your soul fire is pressed by yin qi, the three soul lamps are not so strong, and chills are a normal phenomenon."

Hearing Wei Lai's explanation, Huo Meng touched the black talisman in his pocket, breathed a sigh of relief, and then said: "Fortunately, there are black talismans to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil, by the way, isn't it normal to become a talent, it's not like becoming a ghost son-in-law?" ”

"I can't see it now, we are waiting for a while, saying that it is very difficult to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil, I feel that your ancient sword is not simple, and when I have time to help you study it, the things that can suppress the Tu Tuo Ghost Flower are more powerful than my glazed pendant." Wei said.

Huo Meng's eyes lit up, and he said excitedly: "Great, I can help you by then, I ......"

Before Huo Meng's words were finished, Wei Lai suddenly covered Huo Meng's mouth and said in a low voice: "Look, Chengcai has come out." ”
