"Hmm." Xiao Yu nodded and pointed over there again.

Then he looked at Lu Qi.

"Does Lu Gongzi know about some folk customs about burning paper money?"

Lu Qi shook his head and said he didn't know.

Isn't burning paper just burning paper?

In his impression, the money for burning paper is burned by the living to the dead, so that the dead can also have money to spend in the underworld.

Sometimes, if you meet some money-greedy ghosts, you can also use the money burned to bribe them, so that they don't have to suffer too much.

As the saying goes, money makes the devil grind.

Even when you go to the Netherworld, there are many things that need money.

Xiaoyu said that in the past, if an elderly person died in the family and the body was still at home, a brazier would usually be placed in front of the corpse's feet.

Then light lanterns and incense candles, and relatives will burn paper money at this location.

Anyone who comes to mourn will also burn paper money into the basin, commonly known as "burning foot paper".

This paper money is burned in the hall.

Even now, after the death of the elderly, parked in the funeral home, cremation, there are many people will also set up a spiritual seat in the hall, the same in front of the statue of the spiritual seat to light a lantern and incense candles, put a basin to burn paper money, come to mourn the people also want to burn paper money, in order to express condolences to the elderly.

There are also some places where ancestors are worshipped, and they don't worship on big festivals.

Instead, on the fifteenth day of every month, they would worship their ancestors in the hall at home, and at this time they would also burn a little paper money.

The paper money to honor the ancestors can be burned under the shrine, or in the left and right corners of the incense burner.

If it is to worship heaven and earth, burn paper money at the door of the hall.

These are some folk customs.

However, it also depends on the region, which varies from place to place, and the customs of some places are also different.

Hearing this, Lu Qi nodded, and then pointed to the dozens of ghosts who were busy working in front of him.

"What about these?" he asked. They did not burn in the house, nor in the door of the house, nor did they have any shrines. ”

"They burned it for the lonely ghosts." Xiao Yu said: "Lu Gongzi, look." ”

Xiao Yu pointed over there, only to see a few ghosts in it, and out of nowhere, there were stacks of sumptuous dishes, as well as the tall pile of rice.

On top of the rice, there was a pair of chopsticks stuck straight up.

Lu Qi, who is particular about sticking chopsticks vertically, knows that he has heard about it on Earth when he was a child.

It is said that only for the dead will chopsticks be inserted in this way.

So when I was a child, if I stuck chopsticks in my meal, I would be beaten.

At this time, the ghosts put the food neatly at the crossroads.

Immediately after, a few more ghosts took out four empty bowls.

The four ghosts crouched down, facing the four empty bowls.

Each ghost holds a pair of chopsticks in their hands and begins to tap the empty bowl with their chopsticks.

Bang Bang Bang!

The crisp sound of knocking on the bowl was heard, and it was particularly clear in the dark night.

At this time, when I looked at the thick fog, there seemed to be something distorting inside.

It was at this time that Xiao Yu asked Lu Qi to restrain the breath on his body, so as not to scare them.

These ghosts who are busy tonight are specially arranged here by the Yin Si Chenghuang.

"It's coming!" Xiao Yu spoke, and with a wave of his hand, he covered Lu Qi's body with his yin ghost aura.

"Ha ——!"

In the next second, a ghost covered in tattered clothes and with a cloak suddenly staggered out of the gray mist.

This ghost was skinny and bone-like, his eyes were blank, and his stomach was deeply deflated.

This is a belly stick to the back in the true sense of the word!

However, at this moment, the smell of food suddenly wafted over.

The ghost's eyes suddenly lit up.

He turned his head to look at the food all over the floor, and immediately became excited.

He pounced directly, lying on all fours on the ground, rushing towards the meal, and his mouth kept drooling.

When he came to the food, he reached out and grabbed it, and kept shoving it into his mouth.

Immediately after, another emaciated ghost came out.

The ghost appeared to be short, with a yellow face and chapped lips.

He staggered, and was suddenly stimulated by the smell of food, and suddenly pounced on him like a wild beast.

Xiao Yu said: "These are starving ghosts......

Hearing this, Lu Qi nodded, and then pointed to his mouth to ask if he could speak.

Because considering that this was something arranged by Yin Si Chenghuang, and the relationship between everyone was so good, Lu Qi was worried that if he spoke, it would be bad if there was yang energy floating out, so he didn't speak immediately.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu said with a smile: "Lu Gongzi whispered, I have covered it with my breath!" ”

Lu Qi nodded and asked, "Then what are you doing to lure these hungry ghosts out?" ”

Xiao Yu said that recently, the painted skin has begun to move, and there is indeed a painted skin that has infiltrated Cloud City, attracting some lonely souls and wild ghosts.

These lonely souls and wild ghosts are relatively weak, but they didn't harm anyone, and even coming to Cloud City was not their intention, they were just dragged over.

Although those lonely ghosts are confused and delirious, they also have their own obsessions.

Fortunately, their obsessions are relatively easy to solve.

It's like these starving ghosts, as long as they are given a good meal, they can be sent away.

As for the other ghosts, those who want money will give money, and if they want other things, as long as they are not too tricky, they can basically be sent away after a little satisfaction.

Xiaoyu said, don't look at these ghosts are just muddy, it is very likely that they don't even know who they are.

But you can't underestimate them because of this, after all, a little adds up.

And who knows what that painted skin wants to do this time, so just in case, it's better for her to send these lonely ghosts away first.

Lu Qi wanted to ask, why didn't he just go straight and kill these ghosts, wouldn't everything be solved?

But if you think about it carefully, Xiaoyu herself is also a ghost, and Miss Ghost Chen Wanyan is also a ghost.

And now the people who are doing things over there are also ghosts.

As ghosts, it is understandable that they will treat ghosts differently than living people.

And Xiaoyu also said just now that these lonely souls and wild ghosts are muddy, and they have not harmed anyone.

It is also for this reason that the treatment of the Yin Si Chenghuang is just to fulfill some wishes of those wild ghosts and then send them away.

Follow.

Xiao Yu suddenly mentioned the Netherworld Gap again.

She said, "I don't know what Lu Gongzi has been doing lately? ”

Lu Qi: "In addition to cultivation, it is to chase a painted skin girl to kill ......"

Lu Qi told him about the painted girl.

When Xiaoyu heard this, she was slightly silent.

followed her and said, "Master Lu, I feel that the painted girl is just trying to attract your attention."

And every time she appears, and you happen to be willing to go over, then she is naturally more willing to do so. ”

She thought for a moment, and then said, "And according to what Lu Gongzi said just now, the time when that painted skin girl appeared every time it appeared was basically consistent with the time of some recent events in the Netherworld. ”

Hearing this, Lu Qi understood.

So every time the other party appears, it's because what does her painted skin want to do in the netherworld?

And she was worried that she would get involved, so she would rather surrender herself to cultivation and attract herself to the past at those times?

Lu Qi thought in his heart, feeling that this possibility was quite large.

After all, the upright eyes with double pupils before also said that Lu Qi was a variable, so he was transferred.

After such an analysis, I feel that the approach of these two things is quite similar.

And that painted skin seems to be in collusion with that vertical eye.

If you think about it this way, you can feel certain.

At this time, Xiao Yu said: "In addition to falling asleep, has Lu Gongzi personally been to the gap between reality and the netherworld?" ”

"That's not true, it used to be through dreams, consciousness entered."

"Then does Lu Gongzi want to go in and see for himself?"

When Lu Qi heard this, his eyes lit up.

"Do you have a way?"

Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Miss has!" ”

When Lu Qi heard this, he asked: "Then if I go in, what if that painted skin girl makes trouble outside in order to attract me?" ”

"You give me her doppelganger skins, and if she dares to come out again, I'll go find her!"

"Okay!" Lu Qi nodded.

He has never been able to see through Xiaoyu's strength, and now that Xiaoyu has made a move, Lu Qi is also relieved.

"In that case, why don't you wait for the matter here to be over later, and then you can take me to the Netherworld to have a look?"

"Lu Gongzi is so anxious?" Xiao Yu smiled slightly: "But it's okay, something has indeed happened over there recently." ”
