On the way to the cemetery, I suddenly remembered that I needed to buy some things, so I asked Yan Shiting to take me to a funeral parlor.
The boss of the funeral parlor was an old man. He was watching TV leisurely in the room. When he saw the two of us coming in, he greeted us leisurely and asked lightly:
"What do you two want to buy?"
"A brazier, ten pieces of paper money, twenty incense candles, a pair of straw mats..."
The boss was stunned,
"straw mat?"
"Yes, straw mat, I know you don't have one here, you can help me make one up, you decide the price..."
The old man hesitated and said
"Then it will take some time..."
I nodded, and Yan Shiting and I sat casually on the chairs in front of the counter. At this time, a news item was playing on the TV.
"Jiangcheng Xu Group was successfully listed on a certain exchange today. Chairman Xu Ting and his daughter Xu Yiyi attended the group's celebration banquet..."
My heart moved. I didn't expect Xu Ting's business to be so big. This was beyond my expectation.
Turning around again, I found Yan Shiting staring at the TV with a complicated expression, seemingly attracted by the news.
"What's wrong?" I asked curiously.
Yan Shiting regained consciousness,
"The Xu Group and our Yan family originally had a big cooperation to discuss, but unfortunately after my parents' accident, Yan's stock price plummeted, so the cooperation was shelved, and then nothing happened. For the Yan family
It’s a huge loss…”
Yan Shiting shook her head helplessly,
"Hey, why am I telling you this...Grandpa's matters are more important right now."
I was suddenly confused, but I didn't say anything else.
Straw mats need to be made manually and take a long time. During this period, Yan Shiting and I went to a nearby restaurant to have some food. Later, when we left the funeral home, it was almost past nine o'clock in the evening.
Night falls…
When we returned to Mr. Yan's grave again, the entire cemetery was plunged into darkness. Because the deceased was large and tabooed light, there were almost no light sources in the park.
At this time, the grave had been backfilled and smoothed, and it was impossible to tell that it had been dug up before. It must be said that the professional level of the staff here is still very high.
"What are you going to do next?"
Yan Shiting asked worriedly as she stood in front of the grave.
I illuminated it with a flashlight and pointed at a big tree not far away.
"Don't worry about this. From now on, you hide under that tree and don't come out no matter what you see or hear. For the sake of safety, you still have to keep the half of the jade in your mouth. You must
Remember, no matter what you see, don’t come out!”
Yan Shiting nodded heavily, looked at me worriedly, then turned around and hid under the tree. I took a closer look and found that she seemed to be hiding in the darkness and disappeared.
And I turned around and sat on the ground, illuminated it with my phone, and started folding the paper figures. This was an important prop I was going to use tonight.
After the paper man was folded, I took out a wooden box. The wooden box contained Yan Feng's hair, which was pulled from his head when he was in the hospital. I carefully tied the hair to the paper man's wrist.
Use a cinnabar pen to write Yan Feng's birth date on the back of the paper figure.
Then, he took out twenty incense candles and placed them neatly in front of the tombstone, lit them one by one, then spread a straw mat on the ground, placed a brazier at the end of the mat, and finally wrote Mr. Hao Yan's name and birthday on the paper money.
After preparing all this, I looked at my phone. It was 11:40 pm...
"about there…"
I took a deep breath, laid the folded paper figure flat on the side of the tombstone, then formed a seal with my hands, and whispered:
"Don't hide the souls of the dead. The souls will help you. Listen to my wishes and follow my instructions. Let the three souls and the seven souls return to their birth. Be as urgent as the law! Get up!"
After reciting the incantation, the paper man moved slightly at first, then stood up and stood beside the tombstone like a living person!
When I saw this, I hurriedly squatted down by the brazier at the end of the straw mat and started burning paper money...
While burning, he muttered with a cry in his mouth:
"Grandpa... my unfilial grandson Yan Feng has come to guard your grave. I offer you incense, candles, paper money, please don't be offended..."
Every time I burned ten pieces of paper, I chanted one sentence, which cost ten dollars worth of paper. I repeated it a hundred times in total...
When all the paper money was burned, I immediately took out a hidden energy talisman and put it on my shoulder, trying to hide the mage's breath from my body, and then faced the tombstone and knelt on the straw mat with my head lowered.
What follows is a long wait…
Late at night, in the deathly silent cemetery, I could only hear the rustle of the breeze blowing through the woods. This was the first time in my life that I knelt in the cemetery. Although I am a mage now, I still felt a little nervous. After all, I was surrounded by people.
All the people lying there are dead!
I don't know how much time passed, but there was still no movement at all. I raised my head slightly and saw that nearly half of the incense candle had been burned, and the paper man began to sway slightly.
My heart sank. After such a big setback, I must not fall short!
At this moment, I suddenly felt a gust of cool wind blowing from behind me and hit my back. I immediately shivered unconsciously, and the surrounding temperature suddenly dropped, and the twenty sticks in front of the tombstone
All the incense candles were extinguished!
The surrounding area instantly fell into darkness!
"coming!"
My mind was trembling, and I knelt down quickly, looking down at the ground...
"Creak...crack..."
A sound like the sound of feet stepping on fallen leaves came intermittently from behind. I could imagine that there was a hunched old man behind me, staggering towards me. The sound got closer and closer, and the footsteps got closer and closer. Finally,
Stopped abruptly!
"Feng'er..."
An old voice sounded faintly in my ears, and at the same time I saw two feet wearing old men's cloth shoes suddenly appeared on the ground in front of me!
Something stood in front of me...
Because I lowered my head, I couldn't see the face of the person coming, but I knew that this person must be Mr. Yan.
"My good grandson...grandpa is here to see you...hehehe"
The hoarse laughter came from the air, making people's heads tingle.
Just when I was hesitating whether to look up at him, suddenly, the two feet on the ground in front of me moved slightly, as if they had bent down! Then an old face suddenly stretched out from under my sight to my eyes.
!
I was completely unprepared for the sudden appearance of this face, so I was so frightened that my whole body trembled and I almost collapsed on the ground.
This is a pale face full of wrinkles, with a chapped mouth, and two deep-set eye sockets with two black holes, without the whites or kernels of the eyes!
I couldn't help but gasp, not only because of his terrifying old face, but more importantly, I saw two shocking scars on both sides of his cheeks!
I was shocked at first, then immediately realized something...
I see!
I immediately understood why his soul could stay in the world for a long time!
