Shen Lingxi bathed and changed clothes, ate and drank enough, and thought that he would be taken to the elders to say goodbye.

Unexpectedly, she only waited for the little girl sent by An's mother to say: "There have been many things in the house in the past two days, and the ancestor is sick again, so the Hou Ye asked the five girls to fast in the meditation courtyard for a few days, and then go to see the elders." ”

Shen Lingxi knew what this meant, smiled, and didn't say anything, he should come down.

The people who served in the courtyard were all selected by Mother An, and naturally they all knew Xuanpinghou's order to "dry her for a few days".

When the little girl who reported the news went out, the rest of the servants and maids all withdrew from the meditation courtyard.

In the huge courtyard, only Shen Lingxi was left.

It's the height of summer, there is no wind at night, there is no ice basin in the room, and it is very hot.

Shen Lingxi couldn't sleep, so he simply took out a set of tea sets from the room, and moved them to the vermilion corridor along with the table in the room.

Then she went back to the house and took out a thing from the cage she had brought with her.

It was a black and ebony frame, and a marquee made of good rice paper was held.

At the top of the lantern, there is a lotus crown made of silver sheets, and the four corners of the corolla are hung with four silk ribbons, and several silver bells are tied at the end of the ribbons.

Shen Lingxi took the fire fold to light the candle in the lamp and hung the lamp under the cloister.

The flickering candle flame just illuminates the tea table.

Shen Lingxi played a fan and cooked tea by himself.

In less than a cup of tea, the lantern was heated, and the lotus crown at the top began to rotate slowly, carrying the silver bells on the banner belt, making the sound of jingling bells.

The bell echoed in the silent courtyard, very ethereal, very good.

The bell rang for about half an hour, and suddenly a cool breeze suddenly rose in the yard, making the green bamboo by the wall rustle.

When Shen Lingxi heard this rumor, he knew that a new "deal" had come to the door.

This lantern is called the Reincarnation Lamp.

After the death of the Xuanqing female crown of the Golden Immortal Temple, she thanked Shen Lingxi for what she had done for the deceased soul and gave her a drawing, which Shen Lingxi made according to the drawings.

Just light this lamp at night, and when the silver bell rings, you can attract the souls of the dead who have a chance with her.

Daoist Xuanqing once said that if the souls of the dead summoned with this lamp can fulfill their wishes, they can help them reincarnate and accumulate merits.

Shen Lingxi has always acted only according to his heart, and has no obsession with merit.

It is only regarded as a "sale", earning remuneration and giving away people to be reborn.

"Snap, snap, snap, snap......"

In the darkness, a string of footsteps sounded in the courtyard, as if they had been soaked in water.

Shen Lingxi turned his head to look, only to hear footsteps from far and near, but there was no dead soul in his sight, only wet footprints, imprinted on the green bricks.

"If you're here, why don't you show up?" She asked, confused.

The footprints stopped, and then a simple male voice came into Shen Lingxi's ears: "The villain died in vain, and now he looks ugly, and he is afraid of scaring the girl." ”

"You drowned?" Only the souls of the dead in the water will carry water with their feet.

Before the burial, the appearance of the soul is the appearance of the corpse.

In this midsummer, the body of a drowning person is indeed difficult for people to look at.

"Yes......"

The "footprint" took a few steps back, as if he was worried about disturbing Shen Lingxi.

"It doesn't matter." Shen Lingxi took out half of the incense from his sleeve pocket, lit it with a fire fold, and placed it on the gilded incense burner at hand.

"This incense is called 'rhino zhao', and during the burning of incense, your soul can temporarily return to its pre-life appearance. In the coming day, I will bury you, even if you go to Huangquan Prefecture, you don't have to worry about your unbearable appearance and shame to see people. ”

As these words fell, the position of the "footprints" slowly revealed a ghost.

It was a middle-aged man in his forties, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, a tiger's back and a bear's waist, wearing a green cloth robe, and his hair was neatly combed, so he could see that he was a clean and decent person before he was born.

The man looked down at himself, and his expression could not hide his surprise.

It's just that in an instant, I thought that I was dead, my heart was sour, my mouth was deflated, and I cried out loud.

"Thank you, girl." He wiped his tears and saluted Shen Lingxi, "I heard that the girl can fulfill her last wish for the deceased, so I came to disturb her." ”

Shen Lingxi raised his hand to signal him to sit opposite, poured him a cup of tea, and put his hands on the table in front of him.

The tea cup on the table did not move, and the dead soul already picked up an identical cup of tea in his hand, and drank it, and tears fell again.

The souls of the reincarnation lantern can all enjoy Shen Lingxi's offerings.

"I will bury you and fulfill your wish, but I will not do it in vain, you pay you, after the matter is done, we will not owe each other." Shen Lingxi said her rules.

The man wiped away his tears, "The villain knows. The ghosts who died in vain in the capital all know the girl's rules, and they all look forward to being summoned by this reincarnation lamp. ”

Shen Lingxi didn't know that he was now so famous in the underworld of this capital.

"Since the reincarnation lamp has brought you here, there must be some chance between you and me. I have no choice but to buy or sell anything of silver or gold, but whatever is useful to me, I may give it as a reward. ”

"The villain saves." The man told his identity: "The villain's name is Liu Si, and he is the son of the family in the Xuanping Hou Mansion. The mother-in-law's surname is Wang, and she combs the hair of her ancestors on weekdays. ”

"The villain has no long things, there is a pair of children to raise at home, there is no savings left before his death, think about it, the girl first returned to the Hou Mansion, she must want to know more about the things in the house, if the girl does not dislike it, Liu Si is willing to be a guide, know everything, say everything, can the girl see this reward?"

When Shen Lingxi first came to the Hou Mansion, he really needed a helper, so he nodded in response, "What do you want me to do for you?" ”

"The villain only asks the girl to think of a way to transfer my mother-in-law and a pair of children to serve with the girl, so that they will not be poisoned like me." Liu Si pleaded.

Shen Lingxi was surprised, "You mean...... The one who harmed you is in this house? Not only will it hurt you, but it will also harm your family...... Are you the person in front of the Marquis of Xuanping, and your family is working in the ancestral house, or you are the son of the family in the house, and your status in the house is not low, who can harm you like this? ”

The man seemed to be poked in the center of the sour, and cried again:

"The night before the wedding of the four girls, the villain was on duty in the treasury. According to Hou Ye's instructions, after counting the dowry of the four girls for the last time, when he was already a child, he rested directly in the wing room next to the warehouse. When I woke up again, I had already been put into a sack and sunk into a well, and I was out of breath...... In the end, I didn't even see who the murderer was. ”

"The treasury of the Hou Mansion is guarded by a courtyard, and it is an important place in the Hou Mansion, and ordinary thieves dare not trespass at all. What's even more strange is that the villain, such a big living person, suddenly disappeared without a trace, and no one in the house suspected that the villain was on an errand with the Hou Ye and went out of the house to do errands. ”

"The villain has been wandering around the house for the past two days, and he didn't find anything unusual, only today the villain suddenly saw that when my mother-in-law went out of the house, she was secretly targeted by two muddy people, and realized that they might attack my wife and children......"
