"Why would he do this? Could it be that he is a ghost breeder?" I asked in surprise.
The female ghost shook her head,
"No, he just knows some simple tricks. I wandered here a month ago and was discovered by him. Seeing that I was a humble person, he tied my soul with a soul-locking knot and set up a memorial tablet for me to enjoy offering incense.
, he usually asks me to help him scare away the gangsters who come here to cause trouble, but he doesn’t do much else..."
It suddenly dawned on me that the boss must have felt uncomfortable seeing that I was only staying for half a day, so he let the female ghost come to scare me. He was really petty!
But I thought of another question,
"Then how did you die? Why didn't you report to the underworld instead of wandering around?"
The female ghost sighed softly,
"My name is Tong Qian...I live in Tongjia Village. I escaped from the village a month ago..."
"etc!"
I stretched out my hand to interrupt her and said in surprise:
"You said you are a villager from Tongjia Village? Which Tongjia Village?"
"It's Tongjia Village in the mountains on the edge of Wanxian County. What's wrong?" The female ghost looked at me suspiciously.
Because I was afraid of causing unnecessary complications, I was not prepared to tell her that I was going to Tongjia Village.
"Oh...it's nothing. Go on, why did you run away from the village?"
Tong Qian lowered her head slightly, a look of horror gradually appeared on her face,
"This starts from a previous incident. Two years ago, a pregnant woman living alone died in Tongjia Village. Because the pregnant woman's husband worked in other places, her body was discovered by nearby villagers. Although someone died,
But the villagers at the time didn’t think much about it, thinking that the pregnant woman just had a sudden illness..."
"The only pity that everyone feels is that this death means one body and two lives... But her husband thought that his wife's death was strange, so he asked someone to perform an autopsy on his wife's body..."
"Anatomy?!" I lost my voice.
To be honest, this was something I never expected. Normally, family members would never let the corpse of a loved one receive such special treatment unless it was absolutely necessary. After all, the person is gone. If you are disrespectful to the corpse... most people will not do it at all.
Just can't stand it.
"Did you find any abnormalities after the autopsy?" I asked.
Tong Qian nodded and said with some difficulty:
"After the autopsy, they discovered...that the baby in the pregnant woman's belly was missing!"
"The child is missing?!" My eyes widened.
"Well... a six- or seven-month-old child disappeared inexplicably from the belly of a pregnant woman. No wounds were found on her body, and she just disappeared! At that time, people in the village were talking about it, saying that it was the pregnant woman.
I secretly induced labor myself..."
"But just before this matter subsided, a second person died in the village. She was still a pregnant woman, and the child in her belly was still missing, and then the third person..."
Tong Qian's mood became more and more agitated, and the resentment on her forehead became more and more intense. I hurriedly put a resentment relief charm on her shoulder to help her offset some of her resentment.
But after hearing this, I guessed some clues in my heart, so I asked:
"Could it be that you escaped from the village because of..."
"Yes, I escaped when I was six months pregnant, because I felt that Tongjia Village was suddenly cursed. No pregnant woman could die well! It's a pity... not long after I came out of Tongjia Village, I escaped from Tongjia Village.
I slipped and fell to my death on a suspension bridge in the mountains..."
Tong Qian said unwillingly.
“Six months??”
I subconsciously looked at her belly. Maybe the white dress she was wearing was too wide, so I couldn't see her pregnant belly at all.
After death, the soul will remain in its pre-death state. If there was a fetus in the belly before death, then the ghost must also have a baby spirit in the belly after death! Moreover, the fetus is already six months old.
"Where is your child's soul?" I asked in a voice.
"have no idea…"
"I don't know?! How can you not know? Then why does your own soul wander from the mountains to Wanxian County?"
Tong Qian still shook her head,
"After my death, my soul seemed to be dominated by something. I came to Wanxian County aimlessly... and now I have no way to go to the underworld by myself. In the end, I was detained here by the owner of the hotel. It's a pity that I
My body and my child may have been thrown into the wilderness and eaten by wild beasts..."
Speaking of this, Tong Qian finally couldn't help crying. She was a ghost after all, and her cries would spread far away. If others heard them, they would be scared out of their wits...
My heart also sank. It would be okay if the infant spirit went to the underworld on its own, but if it was trapped by something, then the matter would not be that simple, but I decided not to show my worries yet.
.
"Don't cry yet. I will send you to the underworld right now. As for your body and child, I will find a way to find it and dispose of it properly. You can be reincarnated with peace of mind!"
Hearing this, Tong Qian looked at me in disbelief,
"Really?"
\"Of course, but you need to leave me two strands of your ghost hair, I will use it.\"
Tong Qian pulled two strands of her hair and handed them to me without hesitation. I wrapped my hair in two pieces of red cloth dipped in magic medicine. The red cloth can isolate the yin and yang and prevent the ghost hair from dissipating.
Then I used the soul attracting talisman to save her.
"Arch Mage, if you see my child, please treat him kindly..."
These were the last words Tong Qian said before leaving. I sighed silently. I naturally understood the meaning of her words. I looked at the sky outside the window and saw that the sun was setting. I packed my luggage and went to the front desk of the hotel to check out.
Seeing me appearing so calmly, the fat boss had a look of surprise on his face.
"What? You don't know him anymore?" I curled my lips and stared at him.
"I know... we know each other, what about... room card..."
I smiled slightly and left the room card on the front desk. When the boss saw the room card, his face turned green because there was a black rope wrapped around the room card...
"What? You don't recognize the black rope either?" I asked coldly.
"You...who are you??" The boss looked at me in horror.
I ignored him, but took out the red cloth wrapping Tong Qian's hair from my backpack and handed it to the boss.
"The tablets do not have to be removed, the incense must not be cut off, worship them properly, and pay tribute during the New Year and festivals, including incense, candles, paper money, etc. This will ensure your safety throughout your life..."
After I finished explaining, I turned around and left the hotel.
Although I didn't get his promise, I know that he will do what I say, not because he is kind, but because he dare not not do it. It is against the laws of the underworld to detain the soul privately. If the following knows, then
This boss is in big trouble!
So I asked him to do this not only to save him, but also to gain a lasting incense for Tong Qian...
Because Tongjia Village is in the mountains, I hailed a tractor directly after coming out of the hotel, negotiated the price with the tractor master, and he took me bumpy all the way into the mountains...
On the way, I kept thinking whether what Tong Qian said was related to Aunt Liu's disappearance. Although Aunt Liu's ability is not as good as the master, she is still a veteran after all, and what can cause her trouble must be something other than ordinary!
