Chapter 1: The Mantle

Next Chapter

Yesterday, before she died, my grandmother suddenly returned to the light.

"Qiu Ke, take over the mantle of grandma and be a spirit woman."

"Grandma, what is a spirit woman?"

"Lingpo is the one who lures those powerful ghosts with resentment into the underworld."

At this time, I seemed to know why I was the next spirit woman.

Just a few days ago, on the day of Qingming Festival.

In my grandmother's words, I opened my yin and yang eyes and was able to see a lot of things that I couldn't see before.

I was terrified of all I saw was dirty things: ghosts!

Usually they hide during the day and only come out at night.

Some hung outside, sticking out their blood-red tongues on the crossbars of traffic lights, dangling around;

Some are floating in the downtown bathroom, quietly watching you conveniently;

Others lie on your back, greedily licking your ears and sucking your yang energy.

……

Since opening the yin and yang eyes, I have been at home every night and dare not go anywhere.

It's so scary! I'm so scared that my aunt won't come!

My grandmother gave me a lot of strange things before she died.

What compasses, soul bells, soul detention bags, as well as the talismans she drew and a copy of the "Lingpo Charms".

The strangest thing was the phone that made me use her later.

"If you have a call, you must answer it, this phone can be called yin and yang."

I wondered, could I still talk to the underworld?

Grandma also said to me: "If there is a commission to attract spirits, the spirit woman cannot refuse, but you must charge a fee, otherwise you will hurt your luck."

It seems that the spirit is not introduced in vain, and it can still make money!

"Qiu Ke, people have three souls, you were stolen by someone when you were in your mother's womb, fortunately you kept one, but you were born half a yin person."

Tremblingly, my grandmother handed me a small and small embroidered shoe.

I just picked it up...... My grandmother's breathing suddenly became short, her face turned purple and black, and her eyes stared at me.

"Qiu Ke, find ...... Find the other one, and you'll be able to unravel your ......."

"Grandma...... Grandmother? ”

I hurriedly called her, but unfortunately she was no longer breathing, and completely left me and died.

I never thought that I would take over the mantle of my grandmother and become the only spirit woman in this world.

Maybe I'm the last one, and I don't know if anyone will be able to pick up my mantle.

I was silently packing up my grandmother's relics at home, and the phone rang, and I quickly answered it when I saw that it was the head teacher's number.

"Song Qiuke, it's only a few days since the college entrance examination, come back to class as soon as the family is arranged, and don't forget to bring the money for review materials 147 yuan when you come to school."

I pulled out some crumpled tickets from my pocket and counted them to less than 50 dollars.

"What can I do? After paying for grandma's funeral, there was only this money. ”

I muttered to myself that I was confused about the future.

At this moment, grandma's phone actually rang.

"Suzu...... Bell ......"

The voice was unusually harsh, I picked it up and pressed the answer button nervously, and an old woman's voice came from the microphone.

"It's Lingpo, my old house is haunted, please take a trip."

It turned out that someone commissioned grandma to guide the spirit.

No, grandma is gone, Lingma? I am now a spirit woman.

I endured the excitement in my heart and negotiated the price with her, paid me a deposit of 3,000 first, and then gave me 3,000 after the final payment.

Looking at the money transferred through WeChat, I almost didn't jump up, and I was excited for a while.

This is an advance payment, if I don't complete the channeling, will the money have to be returned?

Thinking of this, I lowered my head and drooped my head, and suddenly lost my energy, lying on the bed and thinking.

Now I am alone, and I can only rely on the identity of the spirit woman left by my grandmother to make money, otherwise I can't eat.

"No, you must cheer up, you have no support, you can only rely on yourself in the future, Song Qiuke you can do it."

It's right that my nickname is Song Daring, what's the matter! In order to strengthen my courage, I called my little speech.

He is chubby, small-headed, loves to squint and smile, he has been bullied by me since he was a child, what I say, he will never refute.

We were the same age, he was a few months older than me, and after graduating from junior high school, he went to vocational school.

I turned 18 years old this year, and I happened to be in the internship period, so I learned to drive, and I bought a taxi to start running a job by myself.

I don't think that's right, he can help me build my courage and have a ready-made job.

……

In the evening, Xu Yanxin and I came to the place agreed upon by the client.

An area of ancient houses.

I've been here during the day before, and it's a very cultural place.

But tonight, I felt that the whole street was eerie and chilling, could it be that my fear was at work?

When I arrived at the No. 7 ancient house, there were two people standing at the door, a white-haired old woman and a middle-aged woman as thin as a bamboo pole.

I guess the kind old woman must be the client who entrusted the commission, so I got out of the car with Xu Yanxin and came to them.

"You're the grandmother entrusted by the Guiding Spirit, right?"

They looked at me in surprise, and the old woman asked suspiciously.

"You're a spirit woman?"

"Yes, I'm the Spirit Woman."

"Heh......" The woman as thin as a bamboo pole gave me a disdainful look and reached out to the old woman next to her.

"Mom, this is the spirit woman you are looking for?"

It turned out that they were mother and daughter.

The old woman ignored her daughter's inquiries and scanned me up and down.

"So young, are you sure it's a spirit woman?"

"I'm pretty sure I am, we're on the phone today."

Did they see that I was too young and think I was lying to them? And hastened to add.

"I'm the spirit woman who took my grandmother's mantle."

"Mom, I said that I was looking for Mr. Wang, and the fairy wind bone of the other family has the appearance of a gentleman, you see this is a child...... Catching ghosts is not a game. ”

Well, she didn't say it to me, but her triangular eyes were glancing at me.

Still at home? When I was a seven or eight-year-old child, how could it be reasonable, if the school was not in a hurry to pay the money, Miss Ben would not have served.

Bear, I endure.

"Auntie, don't worry, I'm a spirit woman, just like a fake."

"Hmph, I think it's better to forget it, now...... There are too many liars, especially those children, who are not good at learning anything, and they want to learn from others to deceive others. ”

Aunt Zhugan spoke harshly and scolded Huai, which made me extremely depressed, but I couldn't argue with it.

How do I prove that I am a spirit woman? If you don't catch ghosts and don't attract spirits, you can't prove it! I was so anxious that tears were about to fall.

Xu Yanxin couldn't help it.

"Grandma, Auntie, I can prove that she is a real spirit woman."

Aunt Bamboo Pole "sighed", and her eyes didn't look at us squarely.

"You're all liars who come together......"
