Chapter 14: Returning to the Soul

At home, Wang Shun reached out and attached Zhou Hongyi's earth-haunting soul to a branch of a broken locust tree brought back.

Wang Shun said take me back to my soul and see how Zhou Hongyi died. Just listening to the Zhou family's words, he felt a little strange, and it was better to see it with his own eyes.

The so-called soul return, that is, mixed with incense ash and fingertip blood to drink, the flesh furnace Ding lay in the coffin for three days and three nights, without eating or drinking. The soul will merge into the wisp of Zhou Hongyi's haunting soul, and look at the only memory he has.

It all depends on an ever-bright lamp to continue life.

Although I was a little worried, somehow I absolutely believed in Wang Shun's deeds and listened to his plan.

Wang Shun used a silver needle to take three drops of blood from the center of his eyebrows, and then took the blood from my fingertips, and smeared it on a radish.

Replace him with a radish, and then put on all his close-fitting clothes, this is to prevent the earth soul from leaving his body for a long time and being persecuted by the lonely souls and wild ghosts outside, so he uses his own clothes to cover up.

In this way, Wang Shun's people did not need to enter Zhou Hongyi's coffin, but replaced them with radish. Wang Shun's earth soul took my mind to see how Zhou Hongyi died, and his mind merged with the earth soul, seeing what he saw and listening to what he heard. When his earth soul comes back and merges, it will naturally bring back my mind. In this way, I don't have to take any risks, and I have a general memory.

As for himself, he must also set up an ever-bright lamp offering platform in the house, on which he will be offered a black coffin prepared for himself, and he will lie in the coffin.

What I have to do is to put the radish stand-in into Zhou Hongyi's coffin before dawn.

I haven't been to Zhou Hongyi's grave, but Wang Shun described it to me, but it was easy to find, in a mountain forest under the front mountain.

Zhou Hongyi is a person who died early, and according to the ritual law of burying bones in the ancestral grave, people who are not dead cannot enter the ancestral grave.

I think Hongyi is also pitiful this week.

Time was short, so I ran with what I was going to put in the coffin.

Sure enough, there is only this small grave in the mountain forest, and the soil is new, it must have been arranged by Mr. Feng Shui before, dug and buried.

I don't know what feng shui gentleman this family invited, but based on what I know, I don't think this is a good place to bury bones.

This place is obviously a yin ravine, and there is a wind and grass, and it is strange and scary.

I didn't have time to think about it, so I picked up the pickaxe and dug out. The first time I dug a grave, I still had a mustard in my heart, but fortunately I didn't need to open the coffin, just put the radish stand-in on the coffin to fill the soil.

But when I dug a few times, I found that the loess on the grave was a little red.

Seeing that it was about to dawn, even if there was a dead person underneath, I had to keep my head down, and finally, I just closed my eyes.

Out of sight, out of mind.

Finally, I heard the sound of the coffin, and I opened my eyes and felt for the turnip in my pocket.

The east was already white, and the sun was about to come out, so I took the hard bite and put the radish wrapped in Wang Si's clothes in it and began to bury the earth.

When the sun came out, the new grave paper was pressing.

But when I returned home, there was only one note for Wang Shun's people.

I searched everywhere and finally found Wang Shun's hiding place.

I also want to ask him about the redness of the new grave, for fear that it will affect his soul, who knows that this fat man has sealed himself in a coffin and began to return to his soul.

Before I left, I told me that I would not be in the coffin until I returned.

Wang Shun lit a lantern in front of his coffin, and left a book on the table.

The title of the book is written vertically and in traditional Chinese, and it looks like it should be old.

If this book is used as an antique in the city, it will definitely sell for a good price.

I don't know many traditional characters, but the title of the book is still recognizable - "Xuanyin Mathematics".

Although the book was old, it was spotless, and I immediately thought that this must have been left for me by Wang Shun.

Although it is not a big deal to return to the soul in the coffin, after all, this time it is a transfer of flowers and trees, and the three souls are separated. Wang Si must have some intention in leaving this book.

I took a bite of my meal and started reading.

It turned out that Wang Shun came to this line and was the Xuanyin faction in the inheritance of the Daomen number school. The so-called Xuanyin is a profession that guards the safety of water and soil in the yang world, and in ancient times, it was a branch from the kind of work.

Until today, there are not many true Xuanyin heirs left, and Wang Shun is one of them.

This line of work is dealing with the dead, and the dead often have some unfinished things and leave regrets before they are born, so they leave resentment, and the resentment accumulates, and it becomes yin.

People who deal with the dead will often accumulate yin energy in their homes, and when they are in excess, they will also go into the coffin to remove the evil.

At the back of the book, the origin of the Xuanyin sect is introduced.

I watched it for a day, from morning to night, and I didn't understand it too clearly, and it was foggy.

I continued to flip through "Xuanyin Mathematics" and suddenly thought of something.

Today, Wang Shun borrowed the old locust tree to perform the method of gathering yin, and condensed the soul body for Zhou Hongyi's earth-entangled soul, if I can learn this technique, I can naturally condense the soul body for Nai Qing, then I can meet Nai Qing again!

Flipping through the ancient book, I quickly found the book and studied it with some excitement.

There is not much introduction to the method of gathering yin in the book, but fortunately, it left the key to casting spells, I read almost word by word, and memorized it by heart, and there is a footnote at the end of it, which also fell into my eyes.

"This method is against heaven and harmony, so be cautious when using it."

I wondered, this method of gathering yin is not an evil art, how can it violate the harmony of heaven?
