A Guest In A Ghost House - Chapter 264 No Ghos
The old man gave a strange smile and said, “Her body, hey hey, right behind you.”
When he was saying, he raised up his hand and pointed to the green hill in distance.
I turned back subconsciously, but suddenly felt there was something wrong. Then I hurriedly turned around, only to see the old man’s arm was extending and was stabbing towards my face. I had a lot of ways to cope with the old ghost, but at this moment I can’t react at all.
Until the old man’s finger stabbed on my body, a faint blue halo appeared in front of my eyes.
Fortunately, I had the amulet. Then I broke the incense from the censer, with the painful expression on my face, threw the burning incense head of my hand over.
After a scream, the old man was like a piece of paper, a few centimeters of incense head burned his body and made three big holes on its chest, which still were slowly expanding.
The old man turned into a cloud of wind of YIN, knocked down a few sundries and disappeared.
“Master, are you OK?” Old Mr. Chang came to ask me concernedly.
I blushed and coughed, and then said, “I’m fine. Let’s move on.”
After finishing saying, to cover up what happened just now, I re-lit three sticks of incense and started again according to the steps just now.
What appeared at this time was a child, who looked just like a couple of years old. I had been talking with him for a long time, but it didn’t work and he still didn’t know what I was talking about. Finally, I burnt some paper money again to send him off.
Over again.
This time was a strong man with an incomprehensible foreign accent. He didn’t know where he did and also even had no idea where this was. Burn paper money and send him off.
Then I continued doing again.
At this time was a kind old lady, who had been chatting with for so long. However, none of her words were at the point. She even was unwilling to leave and also said she wanted to talk with me again. After talking with her for a lot of time, I finally burnt the paper money again and sent her off.
After so many times, those police officers behind me were no longer as excited as they were at the beginning and some even yawned loudly, which me very speechless.
“Master.” When old Mr. Chang saw I no longer continued calling back the ghost, he called me in a low voice.
I shook my head and ignored him. According to reason, the first that was called should be the most recent soul, but the souls of several of the dead villagers didn’t come. Instead, other ghost far away here even kept appearing. Why would that be?
Was it something wrong about what I had done? I recalled in detail and finally thought there was nothing wrong with my steps, incantation and various aspects.
I thought it again. Then I cut a small man out of yellow paper, lit two red candles on the ground, dropped a few drops of red wax on the man made by yellow paper, and finally put it in a paper-burning fire basin.
The yellow paper man didn’t burn. Instead, it even stood in flames, spinning.
I wrote a Chinese character, “Ling”, on the center of my palm and pat towards the yellow paper man. It immediately fell and kept still. Then, under the guidance of my fingers, it stood up slowly. At the same time, the body of the villager who was hung, just like the yellow paper man, also stood up slowly.
Then there was another panic behind me.
In the astonished eyes of the everyone, I reached out my hand to take the yellow paper man out of the fire and began to move it back and forth.
As for the villager who was hung, he also began to move along with my movements.
After playing with it for some time, I handed the yellow paper man in my hand to Su Jun, whose eyes were still sparkling. Then I let Su Jun and old Mr. Chang also play with it for some time before I said in a low voice.
“Have you guys found anything?”
Both Su Jun and old Mr. Chang shook their heads.
“Is it easy to control?”
They two nodded together.
Then I sighed and said, “It must be easy, because it doesn’t has the soul at all.”
Old Mr. Chang said doubtfully, “When people die, won’t the soul leave the body?”
I nodded and answered him, “”Yes, but I say there is no soul. After one dies and before the first seven days, the body is bound to its soul. In turn, the soul is bound to its body. There is only one reason why the sense of constraint can disappear during the first seven days after the death. That is, the soul has gone. It either returns Hades, or has dissipated.”
Su Jun still didn’t understand this very well, but old Mr. Chang had taken a cold breath.
“How deep hatred it has to be. It even makes the soul of these people dissipated.”
I nodded without a word, but actually, what I had found wasn’t only this point. What makes me uncomfortable was that there were very few ghosts in the village, because this was basically impossible in a small village where burial in the ground was popular.
The emotions of being wronged of the woman named Chang had been restrained, so it was not likely to work on the ghosts of those villagers that had been dead for so long. However, those ghost souls did disappear. It seemed that the whole thing was getting more and more complicated.
“Captain Su, I need to ask where the ancestral grave in the village is. Or the mass burial hillock is also OK. I have to go there.”
Su Jun nodded and then went to find Zheng Dayou.
Then old Mr. Chang asked me where I wanted to go and what I wanted to do.
I told him what I had found and also asked him to get something ready for me. I would set off as soon as Su Jun got to know where that place was.
Su Jun came back very quickly. In addition to guiding the way to me, he also arranged two bold police officers to accompany me.
Without much delay, I took the three people to the mass burial hillock of the village.
The mass burial hillock was on the hillside of the village. It was okay to call it the mass burial hillock, or even the ancestral grave. Anyway, people in this village were all buried there after they died.
This village didn’t discriminate this as clearly as that in my hometown.
We followed the path up the hillside. Then I let old Mr. Chang respectively send amulets to the two policemen accompanying us, then lit incense and candle and burnt paper money toward the direction of the most graves.
A pile of flames instantly flared up on the gloomy hillside.
“Invited or uninvited, just come to take these things.” I prepared my magic and invited the people buried here to receive the incenses and paper money.
The wind was overcast on the hillside and the trees were rustling. However, until all the paper money was burnt out, there was still no ghost coming out to take these.
“Just add some paper money again and burn it a little more violent.”
Old Mr. Chang responded, and with the help of police officers, he burnt the pile of paper money.
The overcast wind around was getting stronger. At this moment, I could feel a lot of ghosts peeping around, but there still was no reaction in the grave in front of me, as if there was no ghost at all.
There was even no ghost in the mass burial hillock, which was really weird thing.
Why didn’t a single ghost come out to take the paper money? It was just like that a man was delivering money in the street, but no one came to get it. Of course, in front of ghosts, there wouldn’t be cheater.
I took a handful of paper money on one side, lit it and threw it straight into the air.
Suddenly countless streams of YIN wind gathered from all sides, spinning around the burning paper money. The fire on paper money became even greater and the money in the air turned into a pile of black ash for a moment.
Ash, in the competition of the YIN wind, had turned into countless pieces and flown towards all directions.
“Do you just take the good and leave? I still have a lot here.”
All the YIN wind directly ignored me, which me made me very angry in my heart. Then I picked up the candles inserted on the ground and throw them in the place where there was most YIN wind. The speed was fast, but the candle didn’t extinguish. Then the red wax oil spattered little by little.
Immediately, there was a burst of terrible cry from the air.
