Chapter 26: The Conjuring
Hearing Ye Yan say that someone had already paid for the money, the problem of defrauding the corpse had also been solved. The purpose of this is to give his son a time when the master is overdue, a middle-aged woman in her 50s behind the middle-aged man hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Ye Yan's hand and said emotionally:
"Dao Chief, thank you so much. Dao Chief, you have also seen the conditions of our family, which is indeed not good. The third child of my family didn't enjoy any happiness when he was alive, and now the orphans and widows who left these three rooms are gone, how can you live if you call me a mother. The middle-aged woman continued to hold Ye Yan's hand with tears in her eyes and said:
"Dao Chief, you can do good deeds, buy a good deal for my third child, let my child have a good birth in the next life, and blame me for not having the ability to be a mother in this life, and not taking care of him..."
Ye Yan wasn't joking, in addition to the purpose of coming to Liujia Village this time was to solve the zombie matter, there was also one thing to overrun the soul of the dead Liu Chuang.
If the soul of a young person who died in vain is not properly transformed, I am afraid that it is very likely to turn into some evil such as a resentful ghost and endanger the world.
"This donor, by the way, since we have already come, we will definitely do our best, please rest assured. We have to do the pujas for 7 days, and then we need to build a mourning hall in your backyard. Is there anything wrong with this? Ye Yan asked.
"No, no, as long as we can do it, just tell us, Daoist. If you don't dislike you, you can live in the house to the east of my house, and although the room is always empty, we also clean it regularly," said Liu Chuang's mother.
After Ye Yan said that there was no problem with the residence, and then explained to Liu Chuang's family members what the mourning hall was going to prepare, Ye Yan led a group of several people to his room and began to explain the things to pay attention to when doing things at night while tidying up the guys.
Sure enough, there are many people and great strength, although this Liu Chuang's family is relatively poor, there are a lot of people. In less than a morning, the mourning hall in the courtyard was built according to Ye Yan's requirements.
At more than 10 o'clock in the evening, after everyone had dinner, Ye Yan pasted a guide note with Liu Chuang's birthday on the coffin parked in the mourning hall, so that when Liu Chuang's soul went home for a while, it would not be lost.
Subsequently, Liu Chuang's parents, wife, children and sisters began to burn paper and light incense on Liu Chuang's spiritual position and portrait according to Ye Yan's instructions.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was almost twelve o'clock in the evening.
Seeing that the time was approaching, Ye Yan took the white paper lantern prepared in advance and stood at the gate of Liu Chuang's house with Liu Chuang's youngest son.
Subsequently, Ye Yan asked Zhang Youcai and He Yong to also carry a lantern and hang a guide light at every intersection on the road from the village entrance to Liu Chuang's house, and burned a bunch of paper money and ingots at each intersection, this is to answer the lonely ghosts passing by, so that Liu Chuang's soul can return home with peace of mind.
The village at night has no neon reflection of the city, and it is exceptionally dark at this time. The only thing that can be seen in the entire darkened village is the light of the white guide lights hanging at every intersection. This scene is indeed strange and infiltrating.
Although it was their relatives lying in the coffin, the scene at this time and what happened to Liu Chuang before inevitably made everyone's hearts full of fear, and everyone kept following their so-called Ye Daochang's side, and they didn't even dare to take a breath. Before dinner, Ye Yan asked Liu Chuang's family to inform the people in the village that the family was going to do a supernatural ritual for his son today, and the people in the village had also heard some things about the haunting after Liu Chuang's death, so at this time, every household was in a state of closing the doors and windows, turning off the lights and turning off the fire, for fear that they would hit ghosts and evil spirits tonight.
Tonight's night is exceptionally quiet, and there is no dog barking on a quiet face, and it even makes people feel a little depressed. In the village where you can't see your fingers at this moment, in addition to the white lantern in Ye Yan's hand and the guiding lights hanging at every intersection, I am afraid that the only thing that is lit is the candle placed in front of Liu Chuang's spiritual seat.
Suddenly! Ye Yan, who was standing at the gate with a child dressed in linen and filial piety, made a "jingle bell..." The crisp sound!!
"It's coming," Ye Yan said secretly in his heart.
Then, in the dark night, the guiding lights at each intersection in Liujia Village began to go out one by one in order from far to near.
Liu Yanran didn't react, and He Yong and Zhang Youcai on the side, as well as Liu Chuang's relatives, had a strong sense of fear in their hearts when they saw this scene.
After feeling everyone's emotions, Ye Yan was afraid that someone would ruin things because of fear, so he said to the people behind him:
"Don't be afraid, everyone, everything is up to me, if someone leaves without permission or does something, it is difficult for me to guarantee that there will be no other problems"
After hearing Ye Yan's words, Liu Chuang's family, who was originally a little restless behind them, could only reluctantly choose to persevere.
At this time, when Ye Yan, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard, saw that the last guiding light at the nearest intersection was extinguished, he told Liu Yanran, He Yong, and Zhang Youcai to return to the inner room with a group of relatives, no matter who it was, don't come out. Then he told Liu Chuang's son, who was dressed in white and dressed in linen and filial piety, and began to cry and mourn while shouting "Dad".
And Ye Yan himself led the mourning child to the mourning hall in the backyard, shaking the evil spirit in his hand every 7 steps, Ye Yan read while walking:
"Years old, mighty and thundering. Everything happens, stirring up the spirits..."
When he was about to walk to the mourning hall in the backyard, Ye Yan suddenly heard a woman's cry! Although the cry was not very loud, it was indeed very clear in this silent night.
It is not difficult to tell from the voice that the owner of the cry is none other than the mother of the dead Liu Chuang!
After hearing the cry, Ye Yan was shocked in his heart:
"Oops!! Could it be that this woman did not enter the house? Still in the mourning hall! ”
