Chapter 20 [Ghost Soul]
"I asked you to help, but you didn't help, so I had to rely on Xiao Yuan."
The uncle asked back, with anger already showing on his face. It was no joke to reach this point now. Something as important as summoning souls would most likely be counterattacked, and there would also be certain dangers.
"I'll come, you just need to watch from the side."
My cousin reached out and snatched the bell from my hand, pushed me away, and stood on the white rice.
"Xiao Yuan, no matter what happens later, don't panic, you know."
My uncle spoke to me, with a worried look on his face. He had planned to tell me not to come out before, but his son Zhongli had been going against him, so he called me. I nodded obediently.
, secretly grabbed an apple from the table, sat on the stool next to it and ate it.
There was no mahogany sword, no Bagua robe and Taoist square hat as I imagined. My uncle did not look like a dancing master. Instead, he held a yellow talisman in his hand, closed his eyes, and began to mutter something.
Because my grandfather knew me well, my cousin was just responsible for shaking the soul-calling bell, while I was responsible for calling out the souls.
After my cousin nodded to me, I cleared my throat and said loudly:
"grandfather……"
My cousin rang the bell, and the jingling sound was very clear, and seemed to be carried to the distance with my lingering sound. However, my uncle never opened his eyes, but his body was shaking slightly. After several minutes, his forehead
There were fine beads of sweat on the top. This situation shocked me, and the atmosphere around me became a little weird. It was a cold day, and I was standing outdoors. Did my uncle have appendicitis?
.
I don't know when, the surroundings have become so quiet that you can even hear a pin drop on the ground. Almost every household in the village has a dog, but at this time there is no dog barking, and there is darkness all around.
There were still stars in the sky, but now they were shrouded in dark clouds. Except for a few flickering candles on the table in front of my uncle, which barely illuminated the surroundings, there was no light anymore.
"grandfather……"
My voice trembled a little. It was obviously very quiet, but the sound suddenly spread into the distance like muffled thunder. Maybe it was my own illusion. My cousin didn't have any expression. After I called, he flicked his wrist and called the soul crisply.
The bell rang loudly.
Swallowing my saliva, I stared outside the funeral shed. There seemed to be some unknown existence in the darkness, which had been staring at me, waiting for the candle on the table to go out before it would pounce on me.
This situation lasted for about half an hour. My voice was a little hoarse, and my uncle was sweating profusely and his body was shaking completely. The most incredible thing was that the white rice under my cousin's feet actually started to roll.
...What's going on?
call……
A cold wind blew in and penetrated my military jacket directly, making me shiver all over.
"Oops! Grandpa didn't come back, but he recalled some troublesome guys!"
My cousin stopped ringing the bell, but looked coldly at the white figures outside the funeral shed. I turned my head and screamed, but my mouth was quickly covered by my cousin, and he leaned towards me.
In his ear, he said warningly:
"If you want to survive, just do as I say."
I nodded, cousin, and asked:
"What do you need my help with?"
"Please shut up!"
I nodded in confusion. After my cousin finished speaking, he turned around and reached out to grab the pile of yellow charms on the table. Unexpectedly, my uncle suddenly opened his eyes, reached out and grabbed his hand, and panted:
"Don't hurt them, just send them away."
"I came uninvited and didn't mean well. Why did I have to send him away?"
The cousin loosened his hand and the talisman fell down. The uncle then let go of his hand, but the cousin quickly took out several yellow talismans from his bag and looked at the uncle with an unkind expression.
"They were also recruited unintentionally. Our Zhong family can no longer have grudges with these ghosts. Don't you understand? You really don't know how your grandfather died?"
The uncle's voice was a little louder, he gritted his teeth, his cheeks bulged, and his eyes turned red.
"Who else is dead besides grandpa and aunt around? If not, there won't be ordinary ghosts. If they appear, what are they? Wraiths that linger on the world, have obsessions, and refuse to leave. Wraiths are
Why can't you drive away the evil spirits who are full of venting yourself? You just want to send them away? Use incense candles, tributes, money and paper to send them away?!"
The cousin stood up straight and stared at his uncle proudly, his eyes full of determination, as if no one could shake his decision.
While the two were fighting, I clearly saw the white shadows in the darkness in the distance moving, seeming to be heading in the direction where we were. My uncle and cousin were getting more and more noisy.
, I felt countless eyes staring at me, all the hairs on my back stood up, and my mind was out of control. I rolled and crawled away and ran away. There was only one idea in my mind, escape from here.
, I don’t want to see these dirty things.
"Xiao Yuan, don't run away, come back!"
The uncle's horrified voice rang out.
"You brat, stop!"
My cousin's voice also came from far away. I turned around in a hurry and almost scared my soul out. There were white figures standing around the mourning shed where I was originally. At this moment, all these innocent souls turned their heads.
Stare at me.
I felt that my feet were weak and I had no strength, but my chest felt slightly warm, and a flow of heat poured into my body, which restored some strength to me. I ran forward desperately, and there was only one thing in my mind at the moment.
word, that is:
