I didn't quite understand it, but seeing Li Bowen's indifferent look, I didn't take it too seriously. In addition, although this place is a bit eerie and weird, it is very different from Fengling Village and the tomb.
Soon the two of us walked into the second floor of the restaurant.
Under the candlelight, I could see a little more clearly what was inside.
At this time, the entire second floor looked in a mess, and some faint traces of fire could be seen, and under those traces, there were pools of blood.
Under the bloodstains were red cloth, a red carpet, and some flowers. You could also see some photos on the wall, of two people, which looked very festive.
It's just that under the bloodstains, there's something scary about it.
After looking around, Li Bowen said: "The newlyweds should be dead."
"died?"
I froze for a moment.
Li Bowen nodded and said: "When red and white conflict, red things have to give way to white things, but the owner of the restaurant arranged both red and white things together for the sake of business."
"Under normal circumstances, the soul of a person will stay for seven days after death."
"In these seven days, if nothing happens, it will completely dissipate."
"In most cases, as long as there is no deep obsession or resentment, these ordinary dead souls will not become ghosts."
"Although a wedding is a happy event, it is undoubtedly a provocation in the eyes of the dead souls. Those who are unwilling will inevitably cause some troubles because of a little resentment."
"You mean, the reason why the second floor looks like this is because of the death of that person?" I was a little surprised.
Li Bowen glanced at me and said, "You are quite smart, and you can understand everything at once."
"Is that really a ghost?" I asked again.
Li Bowen said calmly: "It can be counted, but it can't be counted."
"It's just an ordinary ghost. It can't cause any big trouble."
"But if it is not resolved, it will indeed turn into a vicious ghost over time."
"Let's go to the third floor and have a look." Li Bowen said, walking towards the third floor of the restaurant.
Once we reached the third floor, the candle Li Bowen gave me began to flicker, and it seemed as if it would go out at any moment.
Seeing this, Li Bowen took out a talisman from his arms and handed it to me, asking me to stick it on the candle, and then walked towards the center of the third floor.
There is a platform in the center of the third floor.
There is also a photo hanging on the wall behind the platform.
The photo shows an old man with gray hair.
When I saw the photo, Li Bowen's eyes were also on the photo, but he only looked at it and then withdrew his gaze, then looked around before looking at me.
He took a few more talismans and handed them to me and said, "Put these on the four directions of east, west, north and south."
"What to do?" I asked.
Li Bowen said lightly: "Since he doesn't want to come out, then I can just ask him to come out."
I was stunned for a moment, but I quickly came to my senses.
But I also became curious in my heart, can I just stick these four talismans?
After I pasted the talisman as Li Bowen said, Li Bowen was already sitting cross-legged on the platform, facing the photo, and said calmly: "I will only give you one chance."
"If you don't show up again, don't blame Pindao for being rude."
I looked at Li Bowen and was surprised.
If you do this, you can find the ghost?
However, as soon as I came up with this idea, a figure gradually appeared in front of Li Bowen. The figure looked a little blurry, but I could tell at a glance that he was the old man in the photo.
It's just that at this time, he looked extremely pale, and there was a hint of ferocity in his eyes.
As soon as the old man appeared, he looked at Li Bowen angrily.
Li Bowen said calmly: "Old man."
"Birth, old age, illness and death are human nature. Since you are already dead and can be considered the end of your life, why do you still commit this mistake?"
Hearing Li Bowen's words, the old man's face became even more angry, and then he turned around and left as if he didn't want to hear what Li Bowen said.
Just after taking a few steps, Li Bowen stepped forward slightly, and the golden thread generated by the four talismans on his body instantly entangled the old man in it.
"The time your soul can stay in this world is running out. If you don't reincarnate, you will only turn into a ghost. By then, I will no longer be so merciful, and your soul will definitely be driven away."
"I can make you a promise."
"If you leave here, I can go find the wedding family and ask them to pay homage to you on the fifteenth day of every month and hold a new wedding for you and have a grand burial for you."
"how?"
Hearing Li Bowen's words, the old man's angry face suddenly changed, and he became a little more hesitant.
Li Bowen said again: "The poor Taoist Li Bowen is the owner of the ghost tower."
"Pindao only gives you this chance."
"If you hesitate any longer, you will only harm your family."
After finishing speaking, Li Bowen took back the thin thread wrapped around the old man, his expression still calm.
The old man looked thoughtful, and after a moment he bowed to Li Bowen.
Only then did Li Bowen have a little smile on his face, and then he took out another talisman.
"I will send you to the afterlife right now."
"Way to go!"
As his words fell, the talisman fell directly on the old man, and the old man's blurry figure slowly disappeared under the talisman.
Only after he completely disappeared without a trace did Li Bowen wave his hand, and the four talismans attached to them returned directly to his hand. Then Li Bowen looked at me again.
"do you understand?"
I was stunned for a moment and shook my head subconsciously.
After Li Bowen helplessly scolded me for being stupid, he then added: "Those four talismans are called soul-calling talismans. They can make all ghosts appear without escape."
"The four elements are in harmony with one, and then using Pindao himself as the eye of the formation, a soul trapping formation can be set up. All ghosts will have nowhere to escape as long as they are within this formation."
"You can kill them and cross them."
I nodded and subconsciously recalled Li Bowen's actions just now, and I had some understanding in my heart.
At this time, Li Bowen said again: "If you encounter non-powerful ghosts or ordinary ghosts in the future, you should focus on enlightenment. Unless the obsession is too deep and cannot be solved, then you can consider completely eliminating it."
"How to enlighten?" I asked.
Li Bowen explained: "After a person dies, the reason why the soul turns into a ghost is mostly because of resentment, or because the obsession is too deep, and there are unfinished things in the heart, so it is difficult to rest in peace until death."
"You only need to know why they are resentful and obsessed with them, solve them from the source, and then help them leave voluntarily, this is enlightenment."
"As a village guardian, your duty itself is to protect the village and its souls, and to protect the peace of the place."
"Learn how to enlighten."
"It won't do you any harm in the future."
"However." Li Bowen glanced at me, "If you encounter those evil spirits and evil spirits who are unwilling to accept enlightenment..."
"How?" I asked subconsciously.
Li Bowen said decisively without any hesitation: "Of course, let it be destroyed into ashes."
"So as not to cause trouble to anyone."
"And this is also the first lesson Pindao teaches you!"
