When I heard this, I suddenly felt excited, but I also realized that tomorrow night would definitely not be spent peacefully...
Thinking of this, I immediately calmed down and recalled the complex runes on the spell in my mind. I dipped my finger in water and tried it on the table several times. After all, black gold powder is rare and expensive and cannot be wasted casually.
Unfortunately, after drawing more than ten times in a row, all ended in failure. I looked back at the sleeping master, gave up the idea of asking him for advice, and started trying again and again.
The whole night, the Tan family's old house was very quiet, without any accidents, but I stayed in Master's room for the whole night...
When I woke up the next day, I found myself lying on Master's bed. There wasn't much sunlight shining into the yard through the patio of the old house, so the room was still a little dark, but it was naturally much brighter than at night.
I slowly got up and sat on the edge of the bed in a daze for a while. I looked at a talisman drawn on the table. I didn’t know whether to be happy or helpless. I only succeeded in drawing one talisman throughout the night, but according to Master’s instructions
He said, this one is enough.
After a simple wash, I opened the door and walked out of the room. I stood on the corridor on the second floor and looked around. I found that except for the main room where Granny Tan lived, the doors of every other room were open. I lowered my head and saw,
The courtyard on the first floor was crowded with people. They were walking back and forth in the mourning hall, and they were busy with something unknown.
I went downstairs and walked into the mourning hall, and immediately smelled the smell of incense and ash...
After taking a closer look, I found Tan Chen and Tan Xi kneeling in front of the altar wearing mourning clothes. There was a brazier in front of them. They were burning paper money and yellow paper. Tan Chen was facing the little boy in the three photos of the deceased. Tan Xi
Facing the little girl in the photo.
"this…"
I muttered in my heart, how could these brothers and sisters wear sackcloth and show mourning for two children? This is totally against common sense and rules!
My eyes couldn't help but fall on the photo, but I was stunned when I saw it. In the photo, the little girl smiled brightly, but there was a shocking scar on her forehead.
I clearly remember that when I saw the photo for the first time yesterday, there was no such scar on her forehead, but now...
At this time, two big men walked into the mourning hall. Each of them held a colorful porcelain doll in their hands, one male and one female. They placed them on both sides of the deceased's photo, like boys guarding the body. Looking carefully, I found that on the altar table
There were a lot more incense candles and tributes.
No matter how you look at it, it looks like you are overdoing it for a dead person...
"How's it going? Do you feel like you're overdoing it on a dead person?"
Master's voice suddenly sounded behind me. I turned back to look at him and asked in confusion:
"Haven't these three people been dead for many years? Why go too far?"
The master sat on the chair next to him and whispered:
"The first seven are not accurate, it should be the return of the soul."
"Returning to the soul? Isn't that the same as the first seven?"
"The first seven are small ghosts, and the owners of these three coffins are big ghosts!"
When I heard this, my heart suddenly trembled...
The so-called Great Return of the Soul is a folk saying. Although it also corresponds to a seventh son, it is not seven days, but seven years!
Under normal circumstances, a person's soul returns within seven days after death. However, if the ghost is unwilling and has great grievances, does not want to come back and cannot be released, in this case the underworld will not accept it, and they will wander in the earth.
During this period, if the ghosts can eliminate the grievances in their bodies on their own, they will complete their soul return after seven years, which is the great soul return, and then they can go to the underworld again.
I suddenly remembered the conversation between Master and Granny Tan on the way to the Tan family’s old house yesterday. It seems that these three people have been dead for twenty-one years and have gone through three great ghost returns. But why are the ghosts of the three people still in the world?
, and was sealed in three coffins.
"I know what you are thinking..."
Master said something, and then pulled me out of the mourning hall and out of the Tan family's old house. At this time, the sun was shining outside the house. I felt like crawling out of a hole in the ground, and I couldn't help but stretch my neck bones.
Master also twisted his waist and said:
"The three people in the coffin experienced two great rebirths, and I was present each time. Unfortunately, each time was not peaceful. Especially during the second great rebirth seven years ago, the resentment of the three ghosts had reached
When it reaches its peak, they are determined to wipe out the Tan family!"
"Seeing this situation, I could only trap the souls of the three people in coffins seven years ago to prevent them from causing trouble. But you should understand that as the saying goes, every change in life, especially Sanqi, if it is not solved completely this time
They, it will be difficult to tell them in the future..."
I nodded thoughtfully, but I was still confused, so I asked the biggest doubt in my heart,
"What happened between the three people in the coffin and Granny Tan? Why do they hate Granny Tan and brother and sister Tan Chen so much? Do they have to let them die?"
There was a tangled look on Master's face. I thought he wanted to hide it from me, but in the end he said:
"The reasons are so complicated that I don't know how to explain it to you clearly. I'll let Mrs. Tan explain it to you in person after tonight's great night of soul recovery..."
"You really... always miss the mark at critical moments!" I complained somewhat unhappily.
Master rolled his eyes at me, changed the subject, and said seriously:
"Tonight you lead the way for the coffin-carrying team. Remember we only have one chance. If we miss this opportunity, we may make a big mistake! So we must be cautious and don't be reckless!"
I nodded heavily. I don’t know why, but instead of feeling nervous about Master’s reminder, I was actually a little excited. This was the first time I had truly cooperated with Master since I became an Onmyoji, so I felt very happy.
expectations!
While the two of us were chatting, a series of screams suddenly came from the yard of the Tan family's old house...
