I had just walked a short distance when I suddenly heard shouts behind me, and when I looked back, it was the old woman who was hurrying towards me. When she saw me stop and look back at her, she hurriedly waved at me, meaning to ask me to wait for her.

I was very surprised at what she told me to do, and when she got closer, I asked, "Old man, what did you call me?"

The old woman, who was a little out of breath because of the haste she had walked, and with a look of obvious worry and apprehension on her face, took a slight breath, and said to me, "Young man, I forgot to tell you just now, that you had better not go to Wang Sheng's grave. ”

I asked, "Why?"

The old woman said solemnly: "Young man, I see that you are young and simple, and you are a kind child, and I can't bear to let you get into danger, so I have come to tell you." That Wang Sheng drowned, died unjustly, and Mr. Taoist said that he was resentful. ”

Hearing the old woman say this, I immediately understood what was going on, because when he was outside the ghost gate, Wang Sheng said that there was a Taoist priest who said that he died unnaturally, with resentment, and that it might harm his family, so he used a bowl to detain part of his soul on the grave, which caused his soul to be incomplete. Now it seems that this is true.

I was very touched by the kindness of the old woman, but I was entrusted by Wang Sheng's ghost to come to the grave to find a part of his detained soul, so naturally it was impossible not to go, but I couldn't tell this kind and kind old man my true intentions, and at the same time I was curious about what the Taoist priest did at that time, so I took the opportunity to ask: "Old man, how can this be?" Brother Wang Sheng was drowned, although this is indeed an unnatural death, but it is also a very common death, in reality there are many such deaths, how can you say that he will have resentment? What kind of person is that Taoist priest? Why does he think that the death of Brother Wang Sheng must be resentful?"

When the old woman heard that I dared to question Mr. Daoist, her face couldn't help but change, and she said solemnly: "Young man, Mr. Daoist is a very famous gentleman in our area, and he lives in our neighboring village, as long as he asks, everyone knows." He is very profound, and he said that if there is resentment, there must be resentment, and no one does not believe it. In our area, no matter who dies, we have to ask him to be a dojo, as long as he is invited to be a dojo, the family of the deceased will be safe and sound. ”

Hearing the old woman say this, and then thinking of Wang Sheng's resentment towards Mr. Daoist, I couldn't help but be curious, and became interested in Mr. Taoist's dojo, and couldn't help asking: "Old man, can you tell me how powerful that Mr. Daoist is?"

When the old woman saw that I was interested, she immediately came to her senses and said: "Mr. Daoist's surname is Yang, we all call him Daoist Yang, he is a Taoist priest who has been handed down from generation to generation, and it is said that his ancestors once studied under Taoist priests in Maoshan and are good at identifying and dealing with evil spirits. Generally, anyone who has died unnatural will invite him to his home to do a dojo and let him see if the deceased has any grievances and whether he will harm his family. If he encounters someone who has a grudge, he will use Taoism to dissolve that resentment, so that the souls of the dead and the living can be at peace. ”

When the old woman said this, she paused and continued: "After Wang Sheng was drowned, his family specially went to ask Daoist Yang to be a dojo, and as soon as Daoist Yang saw Wang Sheng's corpse, he asserted that he had a very heavy grudge and must resolve it, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. ”

I hurriedly asked, "And how did he resolve it?"

The old woman said: "We naturally don't understand his Taoism, but we only know that he used a bowl to buckle Wang Sheng's grave, saying that he would detain it for seven hundred and forty-nine days. Don't open the bowl within these forty-nine days, as long as you pass this period, you'll be fine. ”

Sure enough, it was Wang Sheng's soul that was deducted with a bowl, and it seemed that it was no problem to complete Wang Sheng's entrustment, and I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. At this time, for me, it is the right thing to quickly take Wang Sheng's soul, as for that Yang Daoist, I am not really interested, as for why he insisted on saying that Wang Sheng's death is resentful, although I am puzzled, but I don't want to meddle with things, so I don't want to pay attention to it.

Now that I know what's going on, and it's not too early, I have to hurry back, otherwise my uncle and aunt will be worried, I don't want to waste more time, so I thanked the old woman for her kind reminder, in order not to let her worry, I lied to her and said: "Old man, thank you for the reminder, I know, then I won't go to Brother Wang Sheng's grave." The scenery here is good, I am hard to come out, just climb the mountain, and go back after a while. ”

The old woman told me not to go to Wang Sheng's grave, and then left.

When the old woman had entered the village, I continued my walk up the hill and went straight to Wang Sheng's grave.

According to the direction that the old woman told me before, I walked all the way up the mountain, although it is also Geyue Mountain, but far away from the scenic development area, it is a relatively primitive and desolate area, and the road is not easy to walk at all.

I walked for almost half an hour to find Wang Sheng's grave, which is a typical burial tomb, because this is a rural area, although the body is also cremated, but the funeral customs still follow the form that has been passed down from generation to generation in this area, the tomb is made of stones, and a simple tombstone is erected in front of the tomb, on which Wang Sheng's name is engraved.

Sure enough, there was a porcelain bowl on the grave, because after many days of wind and rain, some soil had accumulated on the bowl.

Finally found it, I couldn't help but be excited, hurriedly approached the grave, and said to the grave: "Brother Wang Sheng, I finally didn't lose my trust in you, I hope you can be peaceful in the future and enter the underworld smoothly." ”

After saying these words to myself, I took out the soul storage bag, and was about to reach for the porcelain bowl, but suddenly it occurred to me, how can I put the soul into the soul storage bag?

As soon as I thought of this, I didn't dare to make a rash move, and hurriedly said to Fang Kedong in the soul storage bag: "Fang Kedong, can you see the soul? I'm worried that I can't see it, and I don't know how to put the soul in the soul storage bag. ”

Fang Kedong poked his head out, looked around curiously, then looked up at me, and said, "Can I help you, can you let me go out and stretch my body?"

Anyway, it's very secluded here, so I don't have to worry about someone coming, so I nodded and promised to let Fang Kedong come out for activities.

Fang Kedong was very happy to get my permission, and immediately turned into a puff of green smoke and flew out of the soul storage bag, and then turned into Zhang Ke and stood in front of me, and then went to my command to uncover the porcelain bowl on the grave.

At this moment, I suddenly felt an inexplicable sense of tension in my heart, and my eyes watched without blinking as Fang Kedong reached out to open the porcelain bowl.

Who knows, as soon as Fang Kedong opened the bowl, he shouted in panic: "It's not good, Lin Han, there is no Wang Sheng's soul in it at all." ”
