Chapter 17: The Night of the Soul

There was a rooster crow, and I saw my grandfather get up from his seat.

At this time, next to the grandfather, there were two more ghosts.

"Ding...... Ding......"

With the crisp sound of iron chains, footprints appeared on the white noodles scattered at the doorway.

I know, grandpa is leaving.

I turned around and got to my knees, reluctant.

With tears in my eyes, I shouted, "Grandpa, you go all the way!"

My voice sounded a little heartbroken.

At this time, my father, second uncle, and younger brother also knelt beside me.

I saw my grandfather, who looked at the two ghosts left and right respectively, and then turned around and smiled at me with tears on his face.

Grandpa vanished.

"Grandpa, grandpa, I still have a lot of things, I didn't have time to ask you, you just left?"

I shouted to the front.

My father stood up and took me into his arms with his right hand. Time flies, and before you know it, it's been a month.

According to the custom, on this day, all relatives and friends will come to my house to give my grandfather five periods (commonly known as going to the grave).

The five phases are divided into the morning five, and the evening five.

On this day, we have to get up before dawn and bring a kettle and a washbasin.

The older generation said that if they were lucky, they could see the lives of their deceased relatives over there.

When I came to the cemetery, I slowly poured the water from the kettle into the basin, and everyone kowtowed.

We looked at the basin expectantly, hoping to see Grandpa's life over there.

But there was only one bright moon reflected in the basin, and I was disappointed. We had lunch, and all our relatives and friends waited for the fifth day of the evening.

"Filial son pulls the soul......" the steward shouted.

Pulling the soul refers to using paper money, cut into a circular square hole, and then passing through a line of about three feet, pulled by a loved one's hands, and walking around the house against the wall, if the paper money is sucked on a certain place on the wall, it means that the soul of that person is there.

I saw my father holding paper money in both hands, walking in all corners of the mourning room.

Grandpa's soul was not pulled by his father.

Then there was the mother, the second uncle, and the second aunt, all of whom were unsuccessful.

I took the paper money from my second aunt's hand and muttered a few words: "Grandpa, it's not early, hurry up and get on the road!" My voice was a little choked.

"Smack......

With the sound, I saw the paper money sucking on the wall.

Everyone fell to their knees and wept bitterly.

I slowly removed the paper money from the wall and cried even more sadly.

I carried the paper money in my arms and walked towards the cemetery.

As I was walking, I only felt a slight pain in the wound on my body, and the jade pendant in my pocket swayed.

I took out my right hand, reached for my pocket, and touched the jade pendant with my right hand, feeling that it was so hot.

I took it out, and the jade pendant had turned blood-red.

"Ahh

I exclaimed.

When they heard the voice, they looked at me.

I saw that the jade pendant was as bloody as a rainbow.

My father came up to me and grabbed my right hand.

"Child, today is grandpa's fifth phase, focus on the overall situation, anything, after the fifth phase!"

I looked at my father and saw that his face was heavy.

I didn't say anything more, just nodded to him. When I came to the grave of my grandfather in the back mountain, I slowly put down the paper money stained with my grandfather's soul in my hand.

I only felt my chest fluttering.

My face was as earthy as a gust of autumn wind.

I only felt dizzy, weak limbs, and weak legs.

The wound bitten by the bat began to flow pus and blood, and it stands to reason that the wound has been healing for more than a month and should have healed a long time ago, but now it ......

I covered my chest with my left hand, and with my right hand, I inadvertently touched the jade pendant in my pocket.

Strange to say, a warm current swam through the whole body along the right hand, and the pain of the wound was significantly reduced.

After a while, the jade pendant no longer had a fever and turned into a normal turquoise, and the pain in my body disappeared.

"Why are you taking my stuff?"

I turned my head in surprise and saw Bai Ruoxue standing there with an angry face.

"Why are you here?" I looked at her questioningly.

"I'm asking you, why are you taking my jade pendant?" Bai Ruoxue asked me.

I shook the jade pendant in my hand: "This is my grandfather, who gave it to me a month ago, how could it be yours?

"Write yang on the front and yin on the back!" Bai Ruoxue's tone was stiff.

"Impossible, my grandfather's codex recorded that this jade pendant was given to me by a Taoist chief, divided into two pieces...... yin and yang"

I spoke in a straight tone.

After listening to me, Bai Ruoxue touched the underside of her collarbone, and then stuck out her tongue at me.

Bai Ruoxue's face was full of apologies: "I'm sorry, I made a mistake." ”
