However, in a short period of time, Pang Wei had aged beyond recognition.
Li Yunlong, the drowned ghost in the soul collecting barrel, urged me, "Master, just kill him. He is a troublemaker and a wicked man!"
Chen Biao on the side also echoed, "Master Yang, we can't keep Pang Wei alive. If he lives, he will hurt people again! Otherwise, we should send him to the Public Security Bureau!"
I shook my head and explained, "No need! His life is almost over. In fact, he should have died a long time ago. If he hadn't stolen those lifespans, he would have been dead. We don't need to worry about him, just let him fend for himself!"
Then I took out a bottle of mineral water from the cloth bag, burned a meditation talisman, poured the ashes into the mineral water, asked Ma Qiang to pry open Pang Wei's mouth, and poured the talisman water into Pang Wei's mouth.
This was done to prevent Pang Wei's soul from turning into a ghost and going out to harm people.
However, people like Pang Wei have long been sentenced to death in the book of life and death in the underworld. Even if he wants to have an afterlife, it is impossible. His soul will definitely be punished after going to the underworld.
Pang Wei was lying on the kang, looking extremely weak. His mouth was slightly open and his eyes were rigid, making him look like a patient with dementia.
Then after walking around the east room, I found a wooden ladder.
The wooden stairs lead to a small underground space, similar to a cellar.
The drowned ghost Li Yunlong told me: "He could feel that his body was in that cellar."
Then, in order to help find the body of the drowned ghost Li Yunlong, I went into the cellar alone with a flashlight.
The cellar was dry, with some white ash scattered around, which was used to remove moisture.
There weren't many things in the cellar, but in the northwest corner was something similar to a Buddhist shrine. It wasn't quite a shrine, because inside the "shrine" was a bone hanging, and underneath the bone was a white candle that was constantly burning.
I squatted in front of the shrine and waved the flashlight around. I was able to confirm that the bone hanging there was a child's bone. On a wooden sign next to the bone, there was a piece of yellow paper nailed to it.
On the yellow paper was a child's name and birth date.
Li Yunlong, the drowned ghost in the soul collecting barrel, screamed: "Master, Master... Those are my bones, those are my bones!"
"Um!"
I nodded and blew out the white candle.
Pang Wei's method of using the bone and birth date to harm ghosts is still very common. This method depends on how you use it. If you insert the bone into the incense burner, you can control the ghost. If you hang the bone up, you can imprison the ghost and continue to increase the ghost's resentment under the burning of the candle.
In fact, that auxiliary bone can communicate with the drowned ghost Li Yunlong.
It can be imagined that it is not a bone that is burning in the flames, but a soul that is burning in the flames.
It takes a very cruel person to do such a thing. But Pang Wei did it.
Fortunately, the resentment and soul of the drowned ghost Li Yunlong were channeled into Tan Hongyu's corpse, otherwise, Li Yunlong would probably have become a vicious ghost now.
"How is it? Now that the candle is out, does your soul feel better?"
I whispered to the drowned ghost Li Yunlong in the soul collecting barrel.
Li Yunlong whispered, "Master, thank you! But I am unwilling to give up. I really want to kill that Pang Wei. He is the one who harmed me!"
I shook my head and said, "That Pang Wei has already
He is already dying, why do you need to do this? Besides, if you want to be reincarnated, you cannot kill people indiscriminately, as this will damage your virtue.”
"Don't worry, I will help your soul to be liberated and send you to the underworld in a moment. As for your body, I will also help you bury it!"
After thinking about it, the ghost Li Yunlong in the soul collecting barrel agreed: "Okay then!"
On a red brick platform in the cellar, the body of the drowned ghost Li Yunlong was placed on it, covered with a red cloth. However, after so many years, the body had rotted away and only bones remained, and a piece of bone was missing from his left chest.
Seeing his own corpse, Li Yunlong was extremely sad. Seeing this, I released him from the soul collecting barrel. After releasing him, Li Yunlong threw himself directly on his corpse and cried loudly, his voice was miserable.
And I noticed that there was a shelf on the south side of the cellar.
In addition to a loose robe on the shelf, I also found a thread-bound booklet.
The cover of the booklet has turned yellow and looks a bit old, with "Nine Yin Ghost Techniques" written on it.
Damn, it seems that what Pang Wei learned was from this.
After briefly flipping through the book "Nine Yin Ghost Techniques", I was shocked. This thing looks insignificant, but many of the contents recorded in it are sensational.
For example, using human skulls to make lanterns can gather evil spirits in the graveyard, causing the corpses to turn into white-haired zombies. And those white-haired zombies can only survive by eating human pituitary glands.
For example, two dead ghosts can be used to refine a two-headed monster. After a hundred years of baptism, this monster will become a vicious and cruel evil ghost.
In short, much of the content introduced in "Nine Yin Ghost Techniques" is sensational and shocking.
Even though I have seen a lot of magic tricks in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes, I was still shocked by the records in the Nine Yin Ghost Techniques. However, this book is not something I can learn from, as most of the tricks in it are harmful and cannot be used at all.
But no matter what, this kind of thing cannot be left here, so I put it away and put it in a cloth bag.
After I put away the "Nine Yin Ghost Technique", my eyes inadvertently saw a black spider embroidered on the collar of the robe.
Black spider
I seemed to have thought of something. Oh, that young Taoist priest named Xue Bingyang whom I met in the Qinyuan New City villa area, the Taoist robe he wore had a black spider embroidered on it.
Seeing this, it suddenly occurred to me that this Pang Wei might be related to that Xue Bingyang.
If you think about it this way, what Pang Wei said before, that all the skills he knew were taught by someone, then what he meant was that he had a master.
So, it is very likely that Xue Bingyang and Pang Wei are brothers. To put it another way, Pang Wei and the young Taoist priest in Taoist robes are both evil Taoist priests.
What about their master? If he is still alive, he must be an evil Taoist priest, and he must have lived a very long life!
After thinking about it, I took off the Taoist robe as well.
After a while, I left the cellar with the drowned ghost Li Yunlong.
After leaving the cellar, I asked Ma Qiang and Chen Biao to take Li Yunlong's body out of the cellar, and then we returned to the Chen family's old house.
On the way, the drowned ghost Li Yunlong asked me who the female ghost in the soul collecting barrel was and why he felt a terrible breath from the female ghost!
I told it that it was a friend of mine.
When Li Yunlong heard me say that the ghost was my friend, he couldn't believe it.
The sky was still gloomy, and soon a drizzle began to fall.
It was almost evening.
After discussing with Chen Biao and Ma Qiang, we took a car to a nearby county town.
There is a hotel in the county town called "Qingfeng Hotel". It is quite big and we stayed there directly.
I plan to perform a ritual tomorrow to bury Chen Biao's mother's remains together with Chen Yousong's. At the same time, I will also need to deal with Li Yunlong's remains and ghost.
The hotel has single and double rooms.
Ma Qiang and I stayed in a double room, and Chen Biao stayed in a single room by himself.
After dinner in the evening, we all went to bed after a tiring day.
Despite Ma Qiang's loud snoring, I still fell asleep.
I slept until dawn.
What I didn't expect was that when Ma Qiang and I woke up the next morning, something very embarrassing happened. Ma Qiang's and my clothes and pants were inexplicably missing. Even Ma Qiang's hair on the top of his head was shaved off, and he became a bald man.
Soon, there was a noise coming from inside the hotel.
The guests in the entire hotel started to make a lot of noise as if a pot of boiling water exploded. It seemed that many people had encountered the same situation as us.
Ma Qiang touched the empty back of his head and looked at the mirror in the bathroom. He cursed angrily, "Damn it, who is this? Who is so heartless? My beautiful black hair is gone just like that!"
I frowned and looked around the room, wondering what happened last night. Could it be that a thief came in, stole the property, and in order to avoid being chased, took away the clothes at the same time
If that's the case, the thief is really talented!
But how do you explain Ma Qiang’s hair
If someone really shaved Ma Qiang's head, they would have used a clipper, which would make noises. Besides, even if Ma Qiang was sleeping soundly, he should have noticed it.
I thought about it and asked the drowned ghost Li Yunlong in the soul collecting bucket on the bedside table.
"Yunlong, we all slept soundly last night. You are a ghost and don't need to sleep. Did you find any unusual movements last night?"
Li Yunlong in the soul collecting barrel thought for a moment and said, "It seemed like there was some movement in the room last night, but I didn't pay much attention to it. Oh, the sound was so light that I thought one of you was going to the toilet!"
When Ma Qiang heard this, he said unhappily: “We were exhausted as dead dogs yesterday, and we were all injured. We even went to the toilet and didn’t even want to get out of bed.”
Having said that, Ma Qiang seemed to have thought of something. He touched the back of his head, and his eyes gleamed with a gleam of light.
He stared at me and said in a trembling voice, "Brother Yang, could it be that we... could it be that we have encountered a ghost again?"
ghost
Ma Qiang reminded me.
Then I took out the crow's tears from my cloth bag and applied them on my eyelids.
Opening my eyes, I looked around the room.
I actually saw a hint of ghostly aura above a pile of hair in the corner of the room.
My face suddenly darkened. I thought to myself, damn it, you are such a ghost, I didn't look for you, but you came to me!
Seeing my grim expression, Ma Qiang asked me anxiously, "Brother Yang, could it really be a ghost?"
I nodded and said, "It is indeed a ghost! But it looks like just a little ghost!"
