"Kid, what are you doing? Why can't I move my body?"
Sun Yaowen looked shocked and stared at me angrily.
I smiled and explained, "Don't be afraid, landlord uncle. This is a Taoist technique. It just fixes your acupuncture points and will not hurt your body."
"Today I came here with Xiao Li just to see you. You and your daughter haven't seen each other for many years. Do you have to make the meeting so unpleasant... In fact, your daughter has always had you in her heart. Maybe you don't know."
Sun Yaowen first looked at Sun Xiaoli, and then his eyes fell on me.
His face was gloomy, and he asked in a cold voice: "You said you were a Taoist priest, what kind of Taoist priest?"
Who knew, before I could answer, Sun Xiaoli said, "He is a Taoist priest who catches ghosts, and he is my boyfriend!"
This sentence stunned both Sun Yaowen and I.
The corners of Sun Yaowen's mouth twitched constantly, and his eyes were filled with annoyance, as if flames were about to burst out of his eyes.
"You too... a ghost-catching Taoist priest! Why is it another ghost-catching Taoist priest? Xiao Li, don't be with him. They are not good people. Leave him, or he will ruin your life."
Sun Yaowen yelled at the top of his voice, his face flushed red.
If I hadn't used the acupoint tapping technique to hold him down, I think he might have rushed up and slapped me to death.
I have understood that Sun Yaowen has implicated the ghost-catching Taoist priest in his hatred for Jiang Jiuzhen.
He may think that Jiang Jiu is really a Taoist ghost catcher, so all other Taoist ghost catchers are unreliable and will harm people.
This is a misunderstanding.
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Sun Xiaoli turned to his father and said, "Dad, why are you so stubborn? My boyfriend is indeed a Taoist priest who catches ghosts, but what's wrong with that? He helps others catch ghosts and monsters, and he does good things. He has never harmed a good person. He makes money from this business, and he is not guilty. Why do you think he is not a good person?"
"Unless, you are doing this because of my grandfather... Yes, I know, my grandfather is sorry for you, but he also doesn't want my mother to die. He has regretted it all these years. You should know this."
"Also, my grandfather's hair used to be white, but because he failed to save my mother, it turned white overnight. Don't you know this?"
Sun Xiaoli became more and more excited as he spoke.
I lowered my voice and said to her, "Xiao Li, please stop talking for now."
But Sun Xiaoli stubbornly argued for me: "No, I want to speak."
"I want my dad to know that it's not my grandpa and I who are sorry for him, but he himself has been full of resentment in his heart. My mom's death was an accident, and he put all the blame on my grandpa. This is unfair. This is unfair..."
As she spoke, Sun Xiaoli burst into tears.
The sound of a door opening was heard in the corridor, indicating that we had affected the residents in the building.
I said to Sun Yaowen, "Uncle Landlord, let's go inside first. If you have anything to say, let's talk inside. After all, you are father and daughter."
After saying that, I didn't care whether Sun Yaowen was willing or not. I picked up his immobilized body and walked into the house.
It was completely dark outside.
The lights in the house were on, illuminating the apartment dimly.
The room was a little dirty and messy, with a trash can knocked over and a few beer bottles scattered on the side. There were cracks on the top of the TV, and the wires were broken, exposing the metal wires.
I found the location of the sofa and moved Sun Yaowen over there.
What surprised me was that during this period, Sun Yaowen's eyes began to become dazed and he stood there in a daze.
Even when I untied the acupuncture points on his body, he didn't react.
After a moment, his body softened, and Sun Yaowen held his head and sat on the sofa. Then bursts of crying came from Sun Yaowen's mouth.
Sun Xiaoli also walked into the house.
In the corner near the window, she found a photo of her mother.
The photo was in black and white, and the woman in it looked to be about 30 years old. She had a warm smile on her lips, and her eyes were fixed on a corner of the room.
Sun Xiaoli reached out and gently touched the photo, as if her hand could see through the photo and touch the living person in the photo.
But I know that what she touched was just the mirror, and the person was already dead.
I sighed softly, went to the door, and closed the apartment door gently.
Sun Yaowen's painful voice echoed throughout the apartment.
Sun Xiaoli stood in front of her mother's portrait and bowed slowly.
When I walked in front of the portrait, I found that although the room was messy and covered in dust in many places, the small table on which the portrait was placed and the portrait itself were spotless.
It seems that Sun Yaowen often wiped the small table and the portrait.
For a moment, I was actually touched.
I know that Sun Yaowen's love for his deceased wife has not diminished in the slightest.
And it was precisely because of love that he felt resentful and attributed all the blame to Jiang Jiuzhen.
There were still tears in the corners of Sun Xiaoli's eyes, and she was speaking in a low voice to the portrait.
"Mom, I have been worried about you for so many years. I don't know if you have been reincarnated. I don't know if you know about our family's affairs."
"But no matter what, I hope that the relationship between Grandpa and Dad can be eased. They are both stubborn people, and there is a knot between them that has not been resolved for more than ten years..."
Listening quietly to Sun Xiaoli's words and Sun Yaowen's crying, I felt very uncomfortable.
However, what Sun Xiaoli just said touched me.
I thought to myself, perhaps, Sun Xiaoli’s mother’s soul has not yet been reincarnated.
If her mother's soul has not been reincarnated, perhaps I can help Sun Yaowen and let Sun Yaowen and his wife's soul meet.
I walked slowly to Sun Xiaoli and told her my thoughts.
After hearing what I said, Sun Xiaoli's eyes lit up and she asked excitedly, "Brother Tianyi, can you really do it?"
I nodded and said seriously, "No problem. As long as your mother's soul has not been reincarnated, I can summon your mother's soul through the Yin-Yang Road."
Sun Xiaoli immediately grabbed my hand and said with joy, "Brother Tianyi, if that's the case, it would be great. My mother must know what happened back then. If my mother's soul could return to the world of the living, perhaps the rift between my father and grandfather would be resolved."
I thought so too.
After thinking for a while, I said to Sun Xiaoli, "How about this, you discuss it with your father first. If you both agree, I will summon your mother's soul out of the underworld. If your father disagrees, I will not summon it. That would also violate the laws of the underworld."
Sun Xiaoli nodded to me, and then she went to Sun Yaowen.
Sun Yaowen was still crying in grief, his face covered with his hands, big drops of tears dripping from between his fingers.
"Dad, don't cry! I know you love my mom deeply, but it's been so many years since that happened..."
Sun Xiaoli spoke softly and slowly sat down next to her father.
Sun Yaowen seemed not to have heard what Sun Xiaoli said and continued sobbing.
I nodded to Sun Xiaoli, indicating that she should tell me my thoughts and see how Sun Yaowen would react.
Sun Xiaoli opened her lips slightly and said slowly: "Dad, my boyfriend Yang Tianyi is a Taoist priest who catches ghosts. You already know this."
"and
He is very skilled in Taoism, and he said that if my mother's soul has not yet been reincarnated, he has a way to summon her soul from the underworld so that you can see her."
Hearing this, Sun Yaowen stopped crying immediately.
He slowly moved his hand away from his face, stared at Sun Xiaoli in surprise, and then stared at me with burning eyes.
With a trembling voice, Sun Yaowen asked me: "Can you really let me see the spirit of my wife?"
I forced a smile and said, "It can be done. But I have to try it first. If my aunt's spirit has already been reincarnated, I won't be able to do anything."
Sun Yaowen stood up from the sofa at once and said anxiously, "You, you, please try it. I miss my wife and I want to see her."
I nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll get ready and start bringing souls from the underworld."
Afterwards, I asked Sun Yaowen his wife's name, date of birth, and time of death.
Sun Yaowen’s wife’s name is Xu Ying.
I wrote "Xu Ying's" birth date, name, and death time on the petition talisman.
The Chenqing Fu is a kind of talisman for communicating with the underworld. With this talisman, one can directly contact the judge in the underworld. When the judge sees the Chenqing Fu, he will decide whether to release the person. Generally speaking, as long as the ghost-catching Taoist priest writes the Chenqing Fu, the judge will help.
Of course, this kind of petition talisman can only be used by ghost-catching Taoist priests.
After drawing the "Chen Qing Fu", I shook the soul-capturing bell and, at the same time, chanted the spell to open the Yin-Yang Road.
"The sky is clear, the earth is spiritual, the nine-turn ghosts meet the gods, there is a way out of all difficulties, open the way or the Yin-Yang Road! ... ... The Yin-Yang Road, open!"
Soon, the west wall of the house began to turn white.
Then, a bright and somewhat hazy path appeared on the west wall of the house.
Sun Yaowen and Sun Xiaoli stood together, with expressions of surprise on their faces.
On the Yin-Yang Road, you can see black spots.
Those black spots are the souls of people in the world of the living. After their death, their souls all enter the underworld through the Yin-Yang Road. It's just that some of them enter the underworld from the Yin-Yang Road, and some enter from the Ghost Gate. But the paths will eventually converge on the Yin-Yang Road.
However, the souls of the dead are in another space, so it is impossible to touch them, or for them to escape through other paths. As the saying goes, the road of yin and yang, the soul is gone.
As the soul-catching bell continued to ring, the Yin-Yang Road became clearer and clearer.
When the Yin-Yang Road is fully formed, I will directly activate the Chen Qing Talisman.
The Chen Qing Talisman turned into a stream of yellow light and flew towards the Yin-Yang Road.
At the same time, I made a gesture with my hand to temporarily freeze the Yin-Yang Road.
But the freezing time is only half an incense stick. After a long time, the Yin-Yang Road will disappear by itself.
"Brother Tianyi, how is it? Any news about my mother's soul?"
I turned around and replied, "Wait a minute, the Chen Qing Fu just flew into the Yin Yang Road."
Sun Xiaoli nodded, said nothing more, and waited quietly.
Sun Yaowen suddenly asked me: "Young Master, what should I do if my wife's soul has already been reincarnated?"
I said to Sun Yaowen, "Uncle, if Auntie's soul has been reincarnated, it means she is free from all ties. It will be impossible for you to see her."
When Sun Yaowen heard what I said, a disappointed expression appeared on his face, and he muttered: "I really want to see my wife..."
I didn't respond to Sun Yaowen's words and waited quietly.
After waiting for more than ten minutes, a black dot finally flew over in the Yin-Yang Road.
But I am still not sure whether the black spot is the soul of Sun Xiaoli's mother Xu Ying or a ghost.
There is a record in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes that if the petition talisman is approved, a ghost messenger will escort the ghost back to the world of the living temporarily.
