The way the soul singer sends away the soul is like singing to the person, because of the special method, "song" and "send" are homophonic, so they are called soul singers.

The Soul Singer is the earliest messenger of the underworld in the underworld, but because the process of singing the soul is too troublesome, it gradually evolves into others, such as the ferryman.

The names are different, but the functions are the same, they are all responsible for sending the souls of the dead back to the underworld.

......

I was born in a small remote mountain village, and I was raised by my grandparents, who told me that my parents had gone out to work to earn money.

But when I was sensible, I didn't see them come back once, but the family didn't worry about eating and drinking, and my grandfather told me that it was the money sent back by my parents.

Our family is relatively large in the village, and there is a big house where I can run around, but the innermost room is locked, and my grandparents never let me in, saying that if they do, they will spank me.

Grandpa is very prestigious in the village, from time to time someone will come to look for him, and then he will not come back for several days, I don't know what grandpa is going to do, sometimes clamoring to follow, but at this time grandpa is very serious, yelling that I will not let go.

"Little San, let's be obedient, don't disturb your grandfather to do things!" On this day, grandpa went again, and grandma came to comfort me.

I forgot to mention that my name is Wang San, and my nickname is Xiao San, and I don't know what my parents who haven't met think about it, so they actually gave me such a casual name.

"Grandpa is not going to eat something delicious, why doesn't he take me there?" I muttered, this is not the first time, I have to wonder.

For some reason, grandma suddenly laughed when she heard me say this, "Little San, grandpa will definitely bring you fun and delicious things when he comes back, let's wait together!"

It's true, when I come back, my grandfather always has a little thing in my hand that I can't put down, and when my grandmother says this, I also start to look forward to it.

After the past three days, instead of grandpa walking in with a smile on his face, we were carried back by people from four villages.

Grandma immediately collapsed and shouted, "Xiaoshun, what's the matter? Why did my old man become like this!"

Xiaoshun's full name is Li Shunli, the eldest son of the Li family in the village, and he usually comes to call my grandfather over.

At that time, I also had the concept of death, knowing that if a person lies down and does not move, he is dead, and at this time, when I saw my grandfather lying on a stretcher, I was very flustered.

"Grandma, is Grandpa dead?" I pulled at Grandma's sleeve and quickly asked.

"Smack!" Grandma slapped me hard with a crisp sound.

"Little San is not allowed to talk nonsense, how can your grandfather die? No......" Grandma glared at me fiercely, but who knew that she suddenly choked up as she spoke, and covered her face with her hands uncontrollably.

Li Shun said guiltily: "Auntie, it's my fault, I didn't know this matter would be so serious, I just wanted to ask Uncle Wang to see our family's cemetery, and then give me some feng shui, but ......"

He stopped in the middle of speaking, a look of horror on his face, as if something had scared him like this.

Grandma has a strong temperament, and she is very affectionate with grandpa, where could grandpa die so inexplicably, she stopped crying, and asked firmly: "But what! What can't be said......

Li Shun looked around, and then whispered: "Auntie, Uncle Wang asked him to sleep next to the grave last night, of course I couldn't agree, but he insisted on asking for this, I thought Uncle Wang was sure to deal with it, so I agreed."

But I didn't expect that when I came to see it the next day, I found Uncle Wang lying upright next to the screen, motionless, so I quickly called someone to carry him back. ”

Then he lowered his head and didn't speak, and the meaning was obvious, that is, it was his fault that this matter was his fault, and let grandma deal with it casually.

I didn't understand much, but I understood in my head that my grandfather was dead, and a wave of grief immediately welled up in my heart and I fell next to my grandfather's body.

"Grandpa, grandpa, wake up!" I shouted desperately, hoping that grandpa would open his eyes, smile at me, and scold me for being an ignorant child.

But Grandpa was always motionless, and what I did was in vain!

"Xiaoshun, you take someone back, auntie doesn't blame you, I know our old man's temper, if he insists on doing something, no one can stop him. Grandma wiped her tears and said to Li Shunli.

"Auntie, I'm ......"

"Don't say anything, let me be quiet, okay?"

Li Shunli was silent for a while, nodded and said, "I know, if my aunt has anything to help, just ask, let's go!"

I watched them go, as if I was pronouncing grandpa's death, and cried even louder, pulling grandpa's arm and shouting like crazy: "Grandpa, get up, the ground is cold, you will be sick!"

Grandpa is my most important relative, and at my age, I am not ready to lose them, everything is too sudden!

What makes me wonder is. Grandma, who was still emotionally out of control and yelling just now, calmed down at once, and kept looking down and thinking about things.

She ran over and touched her grandfather's chest, then her chest, and finally her wrist, and it wasn't until later that I realized that grandma was making sure if grandpa was really dead!

After a while, she looked very serious, which I had never seen before, and it scared me.

"Little San, are you willing to save grandpa?" Grandma suddenly asked such a very strange question.

Grandpa is indispensable to me, and if I can save him, of course I would like to.

I nodded, my little head kept nodding, looking at my grandmother expectantly, to see what she could do?

"Okay, you wait for grandma!" Seeing that I agreed, she quickly got up and went to the big locked house, and grandma got into the house and didn't come out.

Don't look at me as I'm only seven years old, but my curiosity is so heavy that my eyes unconsciously look into the room.

Countless questions arose in my heart, what was grandma going inside, was there a way to save grandpa? what was there, as for being locked up?

Just as I was struggling with whether or not to see what was inside, my grandmother came out of the room, but it was empty compared to before, and now she had an extra parchment roll in her hand, and it was a little torn.

Before I could ask, my grandmother immediately came to me and motioned for me to sit cross-legged on the floor, and she sat down in the same way.

"Read it to me, read it to me sentence by sentence, or grandpa won't be able to come back?" grandma told me solemnly, mentioning me that this was the only chance to save grandpa.

"I, Wang San, am willing to replace Wang Tianguo as the forty-eighth soul singer, and I will perform my duties well and maintain the balance between the world and the earth......"
