Chapter 370: Substitute for the Dead Ghost
I watched the little house suddenly be in chaos, and the people from my aunt's family and the neighbors were coming to our side, and there were more and more people, and everyone was gossiping.
We didn't know what was going on when we heard each of them, but in my heart I knew very well that there must be something strange about this matter.
Extrapolate from the timeline.
The same thing happened to the little guy last night.
It was also in the second half of the night that we lit a lamp above his head, set up a formation and made a method, and his life was saved, but the moment he woke up, the daughter of his aunt's family was gone.
Could this be someone looking for a replacement for the dead?
Or did the daughter of the aunt's family become a short iron ghost?
I can't even figure it out.
"Amitabha. The deceased is gone, if you can't help the little monk, either let the little monk go over and help her over. ”
Huineng also looked very sad when he said this, for him, he couldn't bear to hear and see the fall of any life.
But fate is over, and we have no way to control these things.
Now the only thing we can do is for Huineng to help the daughters of my aunt's family.
I can also help with the burial ceremony if needed.
Anyway, after I'm done with the little brother's side of things, I'm basically out of work.
"Excuse me, help me see my daughter." The uncle helped the aunt who was about to faint again, and said to us a little embarrassed: "It's really embarrassing that my daughter-in-law came over so early today to disturb everyone's sleep." ”
I waved my hand, there is no big deal in life, since the person is gone, then we send her the last ride, which can be regarded as the wish of the living.
Anyone can understand this matter, after all, the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, and it may not be acceptable to anyone at once.
The affairs of my aunt's family were handed over to us, and my uncle gave us a little money to settle his daughter.
I asked him to order a coffin nearby, and this kind of thing has to be done by them themselves, and we can't interfere, it's all the rules.
While he was busy with his work, Huineng closed his eyes tightly, sat on the floor next to the bed alone, and kept reciting the scriptures.
Because she wanted to wear a shroud, Dong Jing personally helped her aunt's daughter to clean herself.
A plate of hot water was called, and Dong Jing wiped the corpse.
In order to avoid unnecessary disputes, I waited outside the door all the time.
But Dong Jing's voice came from inside the room, and I got the permission of my aunt and uncle before I walked into the room.
Dong Jing's face suddenly turned wrong, and I followed her line of sight and looked towards the corpse's waist, only to find a particularly strange sign on her waist.
"Is it the sign of the Ancient Wizard Cult?"
Naturally, we didn't know what was going on, although I already had a vague feeling a little strange.
The death of this little girl is certainly not so simple.
Let's not mention that she is not very old, and she has no hidden diseases.
Under normal circumstances, how could it be possible to die violently.
But it is an indisputable fact that people are dead.
And this timeline, it's obvious that there is a problem.
"This girl, help the little one to be a substitute for the dead." I frowned, that was the only conclusive thing I could say.
Of course they all understand, but the little girl's parents were stunned.
"That's good, the short guy didn't do anything harmful. Although I don't read much, but you say that you are acting for the dead ghosts, someone has to do it, right? "Uncle looked at me with wide eyes.
I was stunned for a moment, his words were like a beacon, making my originally confused road clear at once.
"Yes, there's a good chance someone did it."
I frowned.
Last night, the little one should have also fallen into someone's formation.
But because of the formation we resisted on the side, his soul was not hooked.
"Did anything happen to my daughter when she went out yesterday?" I asked uncle.
After listening to my words, the uncle nodded again and again: "She said yesterday that when she went out to play, she went to the river and was about to go down to swim, but was stopped by an old man on the road." Later, at the instigation of her friends, she still came down to the river.
I heard that her leg was entangled in the river by aquatic weeds, but later it was the old man who rescued her.
Her little friend also knows about this, but we don't know who the old man is, and we still want to thank the old man, but we can't ask why. ”
My eyes rolled, even if she was frightened during the day, if the yang energy in her body was sufficient, it would be impossible to become a substitute for the dead at all.
"Uncle, do you remember your daughter's birthday?" When I asked this, I was actually restless inside.
Because in my heart, the uncle's daughter can become a substitute for the dead, and her birth date seems to have been set a long time ago.
"The 14th day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar is 12 o'clock at noon." Uncle replied.
As I expected!
I see!
Her body was already in turmoil because of the day, and with her eight characters, even her short life was not as good as this girl's.
However, at the beginning, the person who set up the formation had already taken a fancy to the little one, but with our help on the little one's side, that person had no choice but to find the person with the heaviest yin qi in the village and the unstable soul to be this substitute ghost.
It's just that this old man is who, and why he warned those children not to go down before they went into the water.
And according to the uncle, the old man had physical contact with the children.
Will he have any problems?
I began to struggle inwardly, and everything on the surface seemed like the old man was a good man.
But in my heart I always thought this old man was weird.
With these 10,000 steps, it is impossible for the person who made the formation to suddenly find another substitute for the dead ghost.
If the whole thing has something to do with this old man, and he's a bit of a Taoist.
When he was in contact with those children, what did the old man do, then the one with the heaviest yin qi among those children is gone today, and the remaining ones will also be in danger of life.
"I think...... I need to meet the kids who go swimming in the river with your girlfriends. I looked up and discussed with my uncle: "It will take three days to do things too much here, and we can hand them over to Master Huineng in these three days, and we have other things to do." ”
Those children are still young, and they can save one of them.
The uncle thought for a while and nodded in agreement: "Then I'll take you over." ”
