Maybe he was running too hastily, and he actually lost one of his shoes...
"The ghost dropped his shoe..."
I lost my voice, and at the same time I thought about it, what could scare an old ghost like this?
Under normal circumstances, ghosts will not throw away the clothes they wear at will, because they are the clothes they wore during their lifetime and are buried with their bodies after death. When they become ghosts, these clothes become part of their souls.
"He...he ran away..."
Yan Shiting, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke.
I regained my composure and shouted in a low voice:
"You took my money and you still want to run away?!"
Then he picked up the shoes he had thrown on the ground and threw them directly into the fire where the paper money was burning. Then he picked up the incense candle and placed it on the fire at an angle. After a few seconds, a drop of red incense candle wax fell into the fire.
With a sound of "Puff!", the fire suddenly burst into flames half a meter high, followed by the second drop, the third drop...the flames became more and more intense.
At this moment, a shrill scream suddenly came from the darkness not far away. The screams echoed at the foot of the dark mountain in the suburbs. The sound reached the ears and made people shudder.
Yan Shiting came closer to me unconsciously and asked in a trembling voice:
"This... what kind of sound is this..."
Before I could answer, a hunched figure staggered over from the night. As he walked, he muttered:
"Don't burn it...don't burn it..."
It's the old ghost just now!
Yan Shiting looked at the scene in surprise and asked:
"how so?"
"The ghost clothes are stained with the ghost body. If you burn his clothes, it is equivalent to burning his body. Naturally, he can't bear it."
I saw the old ghost limping up to me. His legs had shrunk a bit and he looked like he had been burned by fire. His expression was a bit submissive. Only then did I understand that the ghost's appearance was the same when he first appeared.
The scary look turns out to be bluffing...
"Why are you running?" I asked looking at him.
"I...I don't dare to tell you. That blind mage is very powerful. If I tell you, if he finds out, I...I won't even be able to become a ghost!"
"Blind mage?!" I exclaimed in shock.
At the same time, I also realized that the blind mage he was talking about must be Blind Master Wu. I really found the right place! It seemed that the man with glasses really didn't lie to me.
I thought about it and said:
"Don't be afraid. After you tell me, I will save you and let you go to the underworld and reincarnate."
When he heard that I wanted to save him, the old man showed a hesitant look on his face.
"But...but I don't want to go to the underworld yet, I can't bear to be here..."
I smiled softly and said:
"You said before that you haven't enjoyed the incense offerings for a long time. This means that no one in this world is paying homage to you, and no one is thinking about you. Why do you miss this world?"
The old man looked at me blankly and was speechless for a long time. Seeing him like this, I continued to follow the instructions.
"You accepted my paper money, which also means that you have already prepared to go to the underworld. Otherwise, what would you do with the money? Paper money is useless in the earthly world. If you do me this favor, I will remember you."
Isn’t this better if you share the merit?”
"Hey..." The old man sighed softly and nodded slowly.
Yan Shiting and I looked at each other with excited expressions on our faces.
"Come with me..." the old man said in a low voice, then limped and led the way.
We followed him to the rocks, and then passed through the old man's caves one after another. When I passed the cave entrance, I shined a flashlight into it, but I also saw a few gloomy white bones. I couldn't help but shake my head. I didn't expect that in this era,
Something like this will happen again!
Yan Shiting followed me without saying a word. She must have been frightened by the scene in front of her...
After walking for a few minutes, the old man suddenly stopped, pointed at an old man's cave in front of him, and turned back and said:
"This is it..."
Before I could even look around, a putrid smell penetrated my nose, making me almost breathless. It took me a while to get used to it.
I couldn't help but cover my nose with my hand, and then used a flashlight to shine. I could see the head of a person in the cave at a glance. The cave was empty, except for a few broken bowls on the ground.
No…
The old man sighed softly and said:
"This woman has a very hard life. She was sent to the old man's cave by her children at a young age. She was paralyzed and could only sit in the cave all day long. Her daughter only gave her food for three days and ignored her.
, and in the end she starved to death..."
"Hey, sometimes when I go out and wander around at night, I can clearly hear her crying in this cave. How pitiful."
Hearing this, Yan Shiting and I couldn't help but sigh. A paralyzed woman was still trapped in the wilderness, suffering alone day and night. Let alone a paralyzed person, even a normal person would probably collapse.
!
"What happened next? How was she taken advantage of by that blind man?" I couldn't help but ask.
"A few days after the woman starved to death, the blind man came. At that time, I happened to be wandering nearby, and I saw the blind man roasting the chin of the corpse with candlelight to extract the corpse oil, and then mixed it with his own blood to make corpse oil ointment.
Then...then he uses talisman fire to roast and torture the woman's soul and force her to submit..."
Having said this, a look of fear appeared on the old man's face...and his voice started to tremble.
"I still can't forget the miserable scream of that female ghost. It was so cruel!"
My fists were tightly balled up, and the anger in my heart burst out uncontrollably.
"Blind Wu! You used such cruel methods to torture ghosts. I will make you pay the price!" I secretly felt cruel in my heart.
"Xiao Yu... didn't you say that after death, ghosts will reincarnate? Why was she still caught by Blind Man Wu after she had been dead for several days?" Yan Shiting asked in a trembling voice.
"Hey, I guess she was unwilling to do so, so she refused to report to the underworld for a long time. After Wu Xiazi caught her, he used magic to control her mind, so she was at the mercy of others..." I gritted my teeth and said.
After feeling sad for a while, I sorted out my messy mood and started looking for the remaining body oil in the cave...
I thought it would take some time, but I didn't expect that after a while, I found a small pool of black and shiny sticky substance on the cave wall. I immediately scraped it off bit by bit with a knife, and then put it in front of my nose to smell it.
smell,
"The corpse ointment was found!!!"
I screamed excitedly.
"Great! Yiyi is saved!" Yan Shiting couldn't hide her excitement.
While I was excited, I suddenly thought of something, so I reached out and placed the bowl on the ground where the woman in the flower jacket had eaten, got some incense ashes, and then lit three incense sticks and inserted them in...
"Xiaoyu, what are you..." Yan Shiting asked in confusion.
"The flower-jacketed woman has a hard life. We don't know her name or date of birth, so let's express our condolences with her belongings..."
After the simple ceremony, I fulfilled my promise and saved the old man, and then Yan Shiting and I left the old man's cave, a place of right and wrong.
Along the way, we both had our own thoughts and barely spoke. I looked out the window at the dark night and suddenly had a question...
Yan Shiting is one of the ten spirits of Quan Yin. She is often plagued by bad luck and easily provokes unclean things. This is understandable, but why does Xu Yiyi often encounter such things?
From the first time I met her, she seems to be in constant trouble. Why is this?
