Chapter 60 Return to the Soul

Wu looked at her: "What does this mean?"

"Bian Que·Cang Gong's Biography" says: Bian Que passed by Guo, and at the right time Prince Guo died. Bian Que asked his disciple Ziyang to sharpen the stone with needles to get the outer Sanyang and Wuhui. There was time for Prince Su. Therefore, all the world was conquered.

Bian Que can live and die.

Prince Guo was resurrected on the seventh day, so there was a folk saying of "returning to the soul in seven days".

However, the so-called "return to the soul in seven days" is just because in a few cases, people are in a state of "suspended death" under the influence of external forces. If they are buried hastily, they miss the hope of life. Before the first seven days of soul return,

If you can recover, you can continue to live.

After all, this situation is very rare.

The deceased is already alive and the living are like this, and the soul will return in seven days, which is nothing more than comfort to the living.

He Lingjiang sat down cross-legged on the futon nearby. This posture should be indecent for a young lady, but she did it casually and naturally.

"In Taoism, there is also a saying that the soul will return to the soul in seven days. The soul of the deceased will be inactive for seven days. At midnight, the yin energy will be at its strongest. If there is an obsession in the heart and refuses to go away, the soul will be pulled along.

Come back then.”

Wu was startled and couldn't help but look excited: "You mean, Master Erlang may return tonight?"

He Lingjiang spread his hands: "I'm not sure. I said, I just came to take a look."

"When an ordinary person passes away and breathes his last breath, the soul will belong to Mount Tai and disappear in the world. Even if the obsession in the heart is really strong enough to pull the soul back, there is no possibility of resurrection. It will just be trapped around the body.

At dawn, he will just disappear again. Others are not like Yin and Yang, and they can't even see him."

Wu's eyes dimmed: "Yes, the deceased is gone, what extravagant hopes should I have?"

He Lingjiang didn't speak, just sat on the futon and looked at the flickering candlelight.

The copper kettle leaked and it was already three o'clock in the night.

I don't know when the wind started blowing into the mourning hall, and the half-burnt ashes in the brazier were picked up, spinning around a few times and falling lightly outside the basin.

The candle flame went out for a moment and then the stars lit up again.

He Lingjiang raised his eyes and saw a hazy gray figure standing next to the coffin, staring blankly into the coffin.

She sighed: "Second uncle's obsession has not gone away."

The gray figure next to the coffin seemed to be aware of it, and slowly turned around, staring straight at her with a pair of ghostly eyes.

Wu who was on the side was so shocked by her words that her heart jumped suddenly. When she saw her eyes staring directly into the void next to the coffin, she couldn't help but ask anxiously: "But Master Erlang is back?"

He Lingjiang nodded and stood up.

Mrs. Wu suddenly grabbed her sleeves, her eyes full of pleading: "Ling Jiang, please don't hurt your second uncle."

He Lingjiang sighed helplessly: "Auntie, what are you worried about? He is just a ghost lingering in the world now. He can't do anything to ordinary people, so what can he do to me?"

The so-called first seven fake corpses are just nonsense.

Unless there are evil spirits or spells, the returning soul is just a wisp of smoke and gray, and has no ability to harm anyone.

"If he doesn't hurt me, I won't hurt him either."

She brushed Wu's hand away, walked gently to the coffin, and said, "Since you are back, you haven't understood it yet."

Gray Shadow's dark eyes moved slightly, and it took him a long time to regain his memory: "It's you."

It was the man in front of him who took his life.

She is the seventh wife of the He family, but she is not.

He Lingjiang nodded: "It's me."

“Since the soul has returned to heaven and earth, it should go where it should go, so why should we cling to it?”

"Yes, we have to go to the right place. So, what about you?" Gray Shadow asked.

"Me?" He Lingjiang smiled softly, "I don't even know why I came here. Where do you think I should go?"

Gray Shadow shook his head: "Tell me, are you lucky or unlucky to live like this without humans or ghosts?"

He Lingjiang stretched out his hand to caress the coffin: "Whether you are lucky or unlucky, everything is the best arrangement of heaven. Those who are determined can find a way out even if they are in a desperate situation."

"After all, I can still walk freely in this world, but you can't."

Gray Shadow said: "When I was alive, I have never seen your tongue be so sharp."

He Lingjiang smiled: "When you were alive, our words were full of provocations, so naturally we have to be more polite."

She also never expected that she just came to see if He Xiancheng's soul would show any abnormality on the night of soul rebirth, and now she was standing here chatting with the soul that she had killed with her own hands.

Hui Ying also felt that it was really strange that the two of them were so calm about each other: "You clearly want to take my life, but I have no hatred. It's strange, maybe you are a ghost, and you can't even say that in your heart." , also lost.”

"If you hate me, it makes no sense. One drink and one peck is destiny. You killed the two eldest men of He Mansion. As Lady He Qi, it is reasonable for me to take your life on your behalf."

"Yes, I owe my eldest brother a lot."

Gray Shadow also understood He Lingjiang's precautions: "I have no evil intentions, and I am unable to cause trouble now, so you can rest assured."

He looked at the tearful Wu: "I just don't trust them. I left her such a mess. I feel guilty."

He Xiancheng was dead, and people said that he was gone after his death. He had no intention of causing trouble, and there was indeed no difference in his soul at the moment. She had no intention of arguing with a ghost.

"Do you want her to look at you?" He Lingjiang asked.

It is not difficult for her to temporarily open her Yin and Yang eyes for ordinary people.

When Wu heard this, she couldn't help but feel a bit of anticipation in her eyes.

Gray Shadow refused softly: "No need. Yin and Yang are separated. Since I am dead, letting her see what I do will only hurt her body."

Xu knew that He Xiancheng did not want to see her, so the light in Wu's eyes dimmed little by little.

He Lingjiang said: "Injury to the body is certainly bad, but compared to being sad, which one is worse?"

The gray shadow seemed to be poked by her, and he sighed faintly: "In that case, I'll bother you."

He Lingjiang walked to Mrs. Wu, took out a talisman from his sleeve and gave it to her, and then placed it on her forehead.

Wu felt a chill in her forehead. When she opened her eyes, she felt that her eyes were hazy, and in the haze there was another gray shadow that looked so clear.

Her tears rolled down in a flash: "Master Lang!"

Gray Shadow looked at her and wanted to step forward, but he was afraid of getting too close to her and hurting her. He couldn't help but sighed and persuaded: "Lian Niang, stop crying. I want to see you smile."

Wu hurriedly pulled up her sleeves, wiped her tears, and smiled.

Gray Shadow smiled and said: "It looks good!"

"You still have to smile more. This is how you look like the Lotus Lady of the Wu family who captivated many men in Yingdu."

Mrs. Wu swallowed even more: "Mr. Lang is right, you need to smile." As she said that, she smiled again.

Hui Ying's tone was full of debt: "Lian Niang, I still owe you a thank you and an apology for many things."

He thanked her for giving birth to children and taking care of the housework for him. He felt ashamed that she was burdened by him and had to worry about so many funeral affairs for his children.

"Thank you for all the hard work, Lotus Niang, for so many years! It was me who made you and the children suffer!"

He bowed and saluted her, looking as elegant and dignified as ever.

The tears that Wu had just held back finally slipped down uncontrollably.

The lights in the room flickered slightly, and the gray shadow also shone in the dim light, gradually fading until it disappeared.

She hurriedly went up, but in vain.

"Master Lang!"
