He's still here, and he's stopped for half the night, is this to give me an early morning surprise? I didn't think much of it at the moment, because he was only less than half a meter away from me, and I raised my left hand and waved it.

As the palm fell, the little boy turned to look at me, his face still the same as before, without any expression. But the originally empty eyes seemed a little urgent at this moment, it didn't seem to have the intention of dodging, and that kind of eyes even seemed to be eager for my palm to slash down.

I'm a cheap person. Obviously he was about to hit, but he hesitated at this time, and this hesitation involuntarily stopped. I hung my hand in the air and stared at the little boy's ghost so closely, that it looked at me motionlessly, and after a few seconds, it seemed to shed tears.

Master once told me that sometimes ghosts cry and laugh, but most of that is just for show, and there is no emotion in it. For example, if someone hears a female ghost crying, it is really just a way to attract attention, not that she is actually crying, but at most because she died because of some kind of sadness that she had to cry. In the same way, the same goes for laughter. But the little boy in front of me, although he looked like he was crying, I looked closely, and the tears were not real tears, but just tears.

In other words, the crying little boy I see in front of me at this moment is an expression of himself crying, and it just allows me to see it.

I think that scene at that time must have been very weird. A living person and a weeping ghost looked at each other, and neither of them embarrassed anyone, just sitting on the bed together in silence. The little boy "cried" for a while, then stretched out his hand to my bag, palm down, and bent his wrist a few times. It was like calling for something, and then it looked at me again. Although I haven't been on guard against him at the moment, it is true that my hostility has decreased a lot because of these dozens of seconds. I think he meant to ask me to give him the bag.

This stinky little ghost, wrapped in front of you, is relatively close to you, why should I take it? But I picked up the bag anyway and handed it tentatively. He didn't take it, but stretched out his hand again and pointed to my bag, so I began to take out the contents of the bag as well, I first took out those magic weapons that can hurt the ghost, so as to scare this little ghost, I took out each one, I watched its reaction, for fear that it would come out of something, after taking a dozen things back and forth, my hand touched something, and instantly seemed to understand something.

It was the silver Ruyi lock I had taken from the widow the day I had kept it in my bag the day before, and it was the little boy's belongings.

Seven or eight-year-old children already know very little. In addition, it has been dead for many years and has become a nameless and nameless lonely ghost, it can exist to this day, and it must have experienced some hardships, it stands to reason that such a revenant should have forgotten who it was and become a pure revenant, but it is clear that it still remembers certain things, at least it remembers this silver lock, and it knows that this is its thing.

Originally, I asked the widow for this silver lock, as a medium of communication with the child, so that I could take it as my altar soldier. Now that you've found the right owner, I asked it softly, do you want to get your own things back? After saying that, I suddenly realized that I had a communication barrier with it. So I put the silver lock on its crouched heels, made a gesture to it to stay still, grabbed my water bowl, and rushed to the kitchen to scoop a bowl of water.

The ghost of this little boy is not aggressive for the time being, and I can see it clearly, which saves me the time to do the water method of circular light again, but directly throws rice and asks rice, so that the bowl of water and these rice grains in front of me have become the medium of communication between me and the little boy, and between me and it, there are some simple questions and answers.

I asked it if it wanted its own stuff back, and it said yes. I asked it if your father's soul had to take revenge, and it said yes, and I asked it if it would like to be my soldier and horse, so that I could worship and eliminate its years of anger, and practice its own blessings, so as to transcend life as soon as possible, and it was silent for a moment, and then said yes.

All these questions and answers are done between the ups and downs of rice grains. During this period, Tian Deping came to the door of the room and called me once, but from his point of view, he should only see me squatting on the bed with my back to the door, I asked him to leave it alone and go back to his wife and children by himself, hoping that he would not think I was doing something strange when he saw me.

I told the little boy that when you follow me, when I settle the matter here, I will fulfill my promise to bury your relics and your body together. Now that you've thought about it, let it go, and go to my wooden man. After asking, I put the little wooden figure on the side of the bowl.

It was time for it to make its own choice, and in the past, when collecting soldiers and horses, not everyone was so gentle, and some of them were even forcibly captured by me, just as the Kuomintang reactionaries used to arrest strong men, and now they have to follow me whether they want to or not. I have always believed that every time I collect more soldiers and horses, I remove a sense of anger from this world and block the possibility of doing evil and haunting. The little boy looked at the little wooden figure for a long time, then lowered his head and buried his head between his knees, and then his body gradually began to ripple, looking like the picture was distorted by the heat emitted from the ground in the scorching summer, and then slowly faded, slowly transparent, until it disappeared. Then the wooden man trembled slightly, and I knew that the child's soul had followed me.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and I couldn't help but sigh too much at the moment, but I felt that a big problem had been half solved at the moment. So I packed up my things on the bed and put the tools I had just freed up back in my bag, but the silver lock was in my pants.

I walked to the others with my bag, Tian Deping asked me why I had been in the house for so long, I didn't answer him, just smiled slightly, trying to comfort everyone with my smile, but found that I was smiling a little fake. I began to set up a formation in the room where everyone was staying, pasted charms on the doors, windows, and every wall, and lit a few sticks of incense for each person to hold in his hand, and then summoned my rampant soldiers to guard the room. There was incense to offer, which was a bargaining chip for the rampant soldiers to exchange protection, and I walked to the door of the hall, mixed the incense ash with rice, and spread a spot on the ground.

This array had been used at Old Man Wang's funeral before, but at that time, it was drawn by the Void with his fingers, but at this moment it was made of rice cloth. However, when I was finishing the last stroke of the mantra "雸" in the book, I stopped and left the last stroke blank and did not finish it.

Go back to the house and draw a five-thunder talisman, which is the last trick that can summon the heavens and thunder, and when there is nothing to be done in the face of evil spirits. I took the charm between the index and middle fingers of my left hand, and took the Five Thunder Command in my right hand, and told everyone not to open the door by themselves whatever they heard, and then I closed the door and walked to the middle of the hall.

I placed the rice array at the entrance of the gate, which meant that whenever something stepped in, it would be trapped in my rice array. And I deliberately left the last stroke not to paint, because if I did, the ghost would not be able to step in, and I had to leave an entrance for it, which is called "please enter the urn".

Then I walked to the door, took a deep breath, calmed myself, outside the door, there was still a knock knock on the door, I knew that the ghost of the landlord was outside the door at the moment, so I spat at the charm I drew last night on the door, and then quickly wiped the charm with my sleeve to make it spent, and then I kicked the deadbolt open, the moment the deadbolt fell, the door was slammed open by a violent impact, a strong wind rushed in front of me, and even the ears made a buzzing sound, I knew that it was in!

Since I was standing in the rice array myself, from the moment the door was opened, there was a large tingling sensation on my face, neck, and hands, all the exposed skin, like the feeling of suddenly applying salt water to my skin after being exposed to the sun for a long time. I resisted the pain, because I knew it was unreal, I was not hurt by it, but the ghost gave me a feeling that I was hurt, and I stretched out my right hand and made a pen with the five thunder commands, and completed the last stroke of the "雸" character array.

After a strange roar in my ears, I jumped out on my side with a force on my feet, and the right side of my body fell heavily to the ground, but because I had been prepared, I was not injured, but the force of the landing was relatively large, which made me feel a little tightness in my chest and want to gag. I immediately got up and pressed the charm in my left hand to the ground with the Five Thunder Command, and as I leaned over, I saw the rice grains in the rice array vibrate slightly as the ghosts struggled to be restrained.

As the saying goes, to kill is to kill. It means that when you decide to do something, the goal and the result are already there, and the execution is just a process, but you can't hesitate at all, because then things will change, and no one can say whether the result is good or bad. So I didn't dare to hesitate this time, after all, I suffered a lot from this ghost. I stood up and clasped my hands together on the mine formula, because the mine formula was relatively simple, and said aloud:

"Summoning thunder generals, summoning thunder soldiers, raising thunder drums, and cutting thunder spirits! Leading the generals, leading the soldiers, sending the drums, and raising the stars! Fly the gold spirit, hold the fire wheel, cloth Xun Qi, and slay the goblin! Groaning, five thunders are fast! Haste as a law! ”

Because I was too nervous, and it was the first time I used the Five Thunder Mantra in actual combat, so that in the process of chanting, I had several ecstasy sounds. But as the spell ended, the ghost of the landlord who had not yet appeared in the rice array let out a painful scream, and then a faint blue whitish electric spark appeared on the ground within the meter array.

Then everything suddenly calmed down, and all I could hear was my own breathing, and my pounding heartbeat.
