It's the sound of a gong.

Tang Jia couldn't hear the voice, but when he saw that my expression was wrong, he swallowed what he was about to say, looked at the front window behind me, narrowed his eyes, and pointed over there and said, "Shopkeeper Shen, look, what's that gray mass?" ”

The visibility was too low, all I could see was a hazy cloud, and I couldn't tell where the gray he was referring to, and when I walked near the car door, a man sitting in the front seat suddenly stood up and said to the people in the car: "Look, someone is coming, we are saved!" ”

As he spoke, he asked the driver to open the door and run under the car, and I covered his mouth from behind to prevent him from making any more sounds, and then I saw that the so-called "person" in his mouth was an old woman wearing a shroud and bowing her head. And behind her, there are countless dark spots, all of which are as dead and different as her, and are coming in our direction in droves.

"Draw the curtains!" I dragged the man back into the car, lowered my voice and said to the people in the car, "Whatever happens for a while, don't shout." ”

The people in the car were stunned, and under Tang Jiao's leadership, they reacted one after another, and pulled up the curtain with panic. I put a yin charm on every window to hide the smell of the car, borrowed a roll of tape, used advertising paper and clothes to block the front windows and doors, and asked the driver to turn off the lights in the car.

There was so silence in the darkness that only human breathing could be heard, and the raindrops grew heavier, making a small crackling sound against the windows.

I stood by the door and looked out through a gap. The car was parked in a bad position, and a large number of ghosts were blocked in the road in this situation, because of the runes, they could not pass through the body, and could only crowd in place, because they themselves had no body and weight, and they could not have any effect on us for the time being.

I don't think it's a way to go on like this, but while thinking about countermeasures, I suddenly heard a baby's cry from the back row, and my temples jumped twice, and I turned around to see a young woman in her twenties holding a baby in her arms, and was patting his back in fear, and seeing that all of our eyes fell on the two of them, she cried out at once, and even covered the child's mouth with her hand in a hurry.

"Don't panic." I hurriedly stopped her and said, "Find a bottle for him to eat, don't let him cry." ”

She nodded again and again, grabbing the backpack from the chair, but accidentally pulled at the corner of the curtain, revealing the glass behind it.

A miserable white face glimpsed the scene inside the car, slowly turned his neck, and put the whole face up at once.

The distance is too close, the person has been dead for a long time, it seems that the body has traces of decay before death, the face is loose, and the makeup of the burial is too thick, which adds to the horror under the eyelids, the woman and his eyes are close to him, and immediately let out a miserable scream, almost fainting.

I quickly pulled the curtain back as I steadied her, but it was too late, and there was an eerie cry from outside the car window.

The yin energy of the Midyear Festival is the strongest, and the ghosts outside are probably unfinished, and they want to take this opportunity to borrow their bodies to resurrect their souls.

Desire turned into shape, the window was slammed hard, I didn't dare to do it rashly, at this time I could only ask Tang Jia to stabilize everyone's emotions, don't go wrong again, and then extinguish the two yang fires on his shoulder, and let the driver get out of the car alone after opening the door.

It was cold outside, and the drizzle was completely negligible, but the wind made people shiver and their teeth chattered.

I walked around to the window with the tart whip in my hand, took a piece of talisman paper, and put the yellow talisman on his arm while it was unprepared.

The sun was scorching, and he let out a few strange screams, staring at me with an angry look, and rushing towards me with a large cloud of yin qi.

There are all yin spirits everywhere, and I am like a live target mixed in with them, attracting many people who want to seize the body and return to the yang.

They weren't wronged when they were alive, and I didn't want to really hurt them, so I dodged in all directions, using the tart whip to avoid the attack of the yin qi, and took them away from the other side of the body. But after bypassing, the ghosts lingered, and they all gathered around me, forcing me into a bend under the rock.

I really couldn't resist the gloom of such a top, and I was afraid that I would damage their souls and reincarnate by mistake, so I had to hold the tart whip behind and swing it at them with only brute force, giving myself a small breathing space. But just barely dragging it out like this, but it couldn't solve the fundamental problem, and in this weak state, I couldn't hold on for long, and I was crushed by their numbers in the struggle, and the last Yang Fire was almost hit by a stream of Yin Qi. I was about to light the flame on my shoulders and venture to take them down the hill when I suddenly heard two crisp bells in my ears. The ghosts of the past suddenly stopped, and after a brief pause for a second, the sound of the bell rang again regularly, and the surrounding ghosts twisted their expressions, clutched their heads and screamed and fled in another direction.

I leaned against the wall and gasped, and the tart whip was still in front of me, when I saw another soul walking up to me, with a handsome and childish face, holding a soul bell, with a half-yin breath and the sun, looking at me, looking up and down, and said: "Today, the fifteenth day of the seventh month, is the day of amnesty in the underworld, and the ghost gate is opened, you are a cultivator, so you will not know, why do you still block the road here?" What do you want? ”

I made up my mind, glanced at the vehicle parked on the road, and said to him: "We are all passengers who take this car to Dongchuan, because the road ahead collapsed, and the group is all blocked here, and they can't leave for the time being. ”

"Road collapse?" He looked back and asked, "You mean the direction I'm coming from?" ”

I nodded, and he said, "But what did you see?" ”

I paused and said, "I just listened to what the driver said, and I didn't confirm it with my own eyes." ”

He groaned and said, "I just brought these people from Dongchuan to pass through here, and I have never seen any collapsed roads, if you don't lie nonsense to deceive me and have some schemes, you are also deceived by others and fall for tricks." ”

After the car stopped, only the driver went to the front to check, Ziwei only went to ask about the situation, everything was learned from him, and then a warning post was placed on the side when he came, and everyone stayed in the car and stalemate. From start to finish, no one ever suspected that the driver would lie.

I don't know how to explain it, but the man on the other side raised his eyebrows, his attitude was still peaceful, and said, "Can you take the liberty of asking Daoyou's surname?" Who did you study from? Why did you come here? ”

"Your surname is Shen, a single name is a clear character, and he studied under Shen Pei, the sixth generation disciple of coffin craftsman Shen Zhongming, and he came here to find people and resolve a disaster."

"Shen Zhongming?" He was slightly surprised, reflexively took out a compass-shaped artifact, held down the inner and outer sub-plates and hung them a few times, as if he was looking for something, and when he looked at me again after confirmation, he lost his seriousness and showed a smile, "I didn't expect you to be Mr. Shen's disciple." ”

I was stunned and asked, "Do you know my master?" ”

"Although I didn't know him, I have worked for so long and heard many stories about him from people over there." He smiled and said, "Mr. Shen has a benevolent heart and is a great benevolent person. ”

I didn't know anything about it, and for a moment I couldn't say what it was like, only silence.

He clasped his hands in front of his chest and said to me: "My name is Qin Ye, a native of Dongchuan, because I was born when the summer solstice Yang Qi gathered, so I am not afraid of the yin and the underworld, and because of an accident when I was a child, I made a deal with people, and I got this errand now, called 'Impermanence', I help to do some tedious chores on weekdays, and catch the souls that are inconvenient to do over there." ”

"Impermanence" is mentioned in many books on Zhiwei, and the reason for its existence is said in the "Notes on Reading Wei Caotang": "The sickbed must be guarded by someone, the sun is shining, and the ghosts are difficult to approach." Or there may be a true nobleman, whose spirit is vigorous; A true gentleman, his temperament is strong, and he especially dare not approach. Or the officers who are punished by the soldiers have the spirit of slaughter, and the strong men have the spirit of ferocity, and they cannot come near. However, the soul body is yin and yang, and there is no need to worry about these things, so it must be prepared. ”

"Born soul", that is, a person hangs there in one breath and is not broken, but the soul has been out of the body, and if the opportunity is right, it can also return to the body and be resurrected.

Qin Ye said: "There are still a lot of ghosts waiting to pass behind, and it is not a reason for your car to be parked here and stopped, if someone really wants to calculate you and needs my help, Miss Shen, you can just speak." ”

Even if we know that we have been deceived, we are now stuck here, and we can't leave if we want to. If I went to confront the driver at this time, it would only cause more trouble and expose everyone to danger, so I thanked him and said, "I also want to know what kind of calculation he is making, this matter should be resolved privately after we leave here, and the most important thing is to let you pass smoothly first." ”

Qin Ye smiled, his expression slightly relaxed, "Thank you Miss Shen for your understanding." ”

If I didn't think about it properly and didn't pay attention to where the car was parked, it is not easy to move it now.

Qin Ye used the soul bell to control the yin ghost from approaching, and spread a short distance for us, I returned to the car, first asked the driver to put the car as close to the edge of the cliff as possible, and had a way in my heart for the time being, before getting out of the car, I called Tang Jiao to his side, hinted at him with his eyes to the driver, and said solemnly: "Keep an eye on him, understand?" ”

Tang Jiao was stunned for a moment, glanced over quietly, and nodded confusedly.

I didn't have much trust in him in Muzhang County, and I had no other choice but to hope that he could be more reliable and understand what I was referring to.

I borrowed an umbrella from someone, got out of the car with a roll of tape from the previous passenger, hid in a gap in the back of the car, and asked Qin Ye to help, pasted the yin charm on it, cut and spliced it into a large net, and in his puzzled eyes, he took this "net" to the railing of the road, used the removed umbrella bone as a support, and laid it on the other side of the railing.
