Looking at his tearful daughter, the middle-aged man didn't know what to do.
A dull crying sound came from the soul-collecting barrel. Ghosts also have feelings, I couldn’t help but sigh.
The little girl walked up to me, looked at the soul collecting bucket on my waist, and said, "Big brother, I want to see him and talk to him. I want to tell him that I am his mother and I hope he is well."
"this... ... "
I showed an awkward expression on my face. The little ghost had a lot of resentment in him. If I let him out, he would probably do evil and cause a lot of trouble.
So I could only explain to the little girl Yiyi, "Yiyi, it's not that big brother doesn't want you to see that little devil, but he is too dangerous. Big brother's skills are not high, if he hurts you, big brother can't escape the blame. And his obsession has reached a terrible level. Even if you want to persuade him, I'm afraid it's impossible..."
But the little girl Yiyi didn't listen to this. Her eyes were red and swollen from crying, and she stared at the soul collecting bucket on my waist and begged me.
"Big brother, I beg you! Please let me see him, I will persuade him, I hope he can be reincarnated. I don't want revenge anymore, and I don't want him to take revenge either. Big brother, please!"
The little girl’s words touched me and made me feel sad for this family.
"Okay, big brother, I promise you!"
With a heavy heart, I still opened the soul barrel.
As the lid of the soul-collecting barrel was opened, a ball of black gas rushed out of the barrel and fell to the ground.
The little ghost came out, and in just a short while, the resentment in him was even worse than before!
The middle-aged man and I were both on guard, not taking the little ghost lightly. Especially me, I didn't want to cause any more trouble. I secretly reached into my backpack, if the little ghost dared to mess around again, I would use the talisman to fight it.
But I was wrong. The little ghost had no intention of hurting the little girl Yiyi. The moment I saw the little girl, I clearly felt that the resentment in him was at its lowest point. His soul turned into a little man and fell into the palm of the little girl Yiyi's hand.
The little girl squatted there, staring at the little ghost in her hand, crying and talking to the little ghost.
The devil might be
Feeling a little uncomfortable, it lowered its head and didn't dare to look at the little girl Yi Yi, but there was a rare warmth in its eyes.
A little mother and a little ghost, the two of them talked a lot together. The little ghost also talked a lot.
I then realized that although the little ghost was vicious, he was not like this before he became a ghost. He gradually developed resentment after being bullied by other ghosts. Thinking that he was abandoned by his family, the resentment in the little ghost became even greater.
At that time, he felt like a lonely ghost, a child that no one wanted and no one loved. This made him feel revengeful towards his parents.
The little girl Yi Yi talked a lot with the little ghost. She cried while talking. At the end, her body swayed and she fainted on the ground and passed out.
"Yiyi!" The middle-aged man and the middle-aged woman who ran out of the bedroom hurriedly carried Yiyi to the bedroom.
There were only me and the little ghost left in the living room.
The moment the little girl left, the little ghost's resentment increased sharply. I sighed, realizing that even the little girl could not resolve the little ghost's resentment.
The little ghost looked at me and said in a deep voice: "Master, I am willing to sacrifice my soul!"
"Okay! I promise you!"
I said in a dull voice, this is the only thing I can do. The way the current situation continues, I estimate that it won't be long before this little ghost completely turns into an evil ghost. Letting him turn into ashes may be the best solution. I can only feel helpless about this. This world is such a bastard.
It was getting light outside. Although the sky was a little cloudy, the light still slowly seeped into the living room.
I saw that the time was almost up, so I said to the little ghost, "It's getting late, you should go back to the soul collecting barrel. Your soul is very weak now, otherwise the increase in yang energy will cause greater harm to you."
The little ghost nodded, turned into a ball of black gas and flew back to the soul collecting barrel.
At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the bedroom.
I asked, "Yiyi, are you okay?"
The middle-aged man said, "It's okay. Just take a nap and you'll be fine."
I patted the soul collecting bucket and said to the middle-aged man, "Uncle, little ghost
The resentment has been engraved into his soul, and we have no way to persuade him. So I promised him to help him find that person... The next thing to do is to find the child's body. I think your family should have dealt with this child a year ago. You should know where his body is, right? "
The middle-aged man looked at me blankly, lowered his head as if feeling guilty, and said, "Yes, I know."
"Yes!" I nodded. "Since you know where the child's body is, I will come over again tonight and we will look for the body together."
The middle-aged man clenched his fists, his eyes filled with cruelty. He asked me solemnly, "Master, why don't we go find the body now? ... ... I must kill that bastard! It was that man who killed our whole family."
I shook my head and said, "Not now. Wait until tonight. I need to go back and prepare myself."
The middle-aged man nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, that's settled! ... Master, thank you so much!"
"You're welcome. Catching ghosts and demons is what we Taoists do."
I blushed a little when I said this, and thought to myself, I am not a Taoist priest at all, I am clearly a fake.
"Okay, since there's nothing else to do, I'll go back first. I'll come back in the evening."
The middle-aged man asked again, "By the way, what is your name, Master?"
I waved my hands and said, "Just call me 'Master Jiang.'" I was pretending to be "Jiang Jiuzhen" again.
After saying that, I said nothing more, turned around and walked out of the house.
I went back home. I didn't even bother to eat. I fell asleep in bed. I was so exhausted last night that I felt like my bones were about to fall apart. The little devil also hurt me a lot. My stomach still hurts.
When I woke up, it was already past six in the afternoon. I looked at the time and thought it was still early, so I sat on the sofa and opened the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes.
I have promised to help the little ghost find the rapist, but I have not yet decided how to use the little ghost's corpse to find him. So I am now opening the Yin-Yang Soul Transfer Notes to make up for the relevant knowledge above.
Otherwise it would be bad if any trouble happened.
The Yin-Yang Soul-crossing Notes states that the soul of a little ghost can be used as a sacrifice to drive the corpse to find his biological father. The specific steps are to first use the "Returning Body Talisman" to lead the soul into the corpse, and then sprinkle fresh rooster blood to provide a primer for the soul's sacrifice.
However, the soul sacrifice still needs the ghost's consent. If the ghost does not agree and the sacrifice is forced, the Taoist priest will suffer a backlash. The consequences of the backlash are very serious, ranging from disability to death.
I cursed in my heart that this method of offering souls to find people was really a rip-off. What if the little ghost regretted it during the sacrifice? Wouldn't I be in trouble
To be honest, ever since that little devil lied to me, I have decided not to believe in ghosts anymore. But I have already agreed to it, and I can't go back on my word.
After going through the specific rituals of offering sacrifices to the souls and searching for relatives, I made myself a plate of fried rice. After dinner, I saw that it was almost time, so I packed my bag and went out. On the way, I passed by a shop selling dead bodies, and I went in to buy some things that could be used.
Damn it, to be honest, the stuff used for the dead is really not cheap, it cost me more than 200 yuan. As for the rooster blood, I called the middle-aged uncle in advance and asked him to prepare it.
I touched my pocket and found that it was cleaner than my face.
Soon, I arrived at the home of the little girl Yiyi, and I found that the middle-aged couple and the little girl were already dressed. They were waiting for me. After a night, the little girl had obviously accepted this, but her eyes were still red and she was in a very low mood.
I asked in surprise, "Are you all going?"
The middle-aged woman changed her previous attitude and spoke politely. She said, "Master, we are all going. My husband and I just want to see which beast did such a thing to my daughter!"
After thinking for a while, I said, "Okay, since you have all decided, I don't have much to say... But I remind you that you can go together, but you can't affect my work."
They all agreed.
Under the guidance of the middle-aged man, we came to a place one kilometer away from his home.
On a hill. In a ditch on the hill, the middle-aged man stopped. He shone the flashlight in front of him and said to me: "Master Jiang, my wife said that the place where she abandoned the child is in front."
It turned out to be the child abandoned by the middle-aged woman. After all, the little girl Yiyi was still young at that time.
In fact, I think the middle-aged woman's treatment of the child was inappropriate. Even if she didn't want people to know about the little girl Yiyi, she didn't have to abandon the newborn baby in the ravine. She could have chosen to give the child to someone else.
I think maybe the middle-aged woman didn't think so much at the time. Of course, sometimes people are selfish. Or maybe the middle-aged woman at that time just imposed her hatred for the rapist on the baby. This is not impossible. Of course, the incident has passed, and it seems unnecessary to dwell on it.
I patted the wall of the soul barrel and asked the little ghost, "Is this the place?"
The little ghost said dryly, "It's right here. I feel my bones."
Then the middle-aged man and I took our things and went down into the ditch. There was no water in the ditch, but there were a lot of weeds and gravel. The middle-aged man and I used flashlights to search for the bones in the weeds. The little ghost also reminded me, "A little further to the left, forward, and further forward..."
Finally, I found a small corpse and a lot of rags in a patch of weeds. The flesh on the corpse had long been gone, and the dry white bones were scattered there. There was also an ant nest under the bones, which seemed to have been there for a long time.
It is hard for me to imagine such a scene: in the dead of night, a middle-aged woman is holding a baby who was born not long ago. The child can be said to be her little grandson. She came to this ravine, and without caring about anything, she threw the child in her arms into the weeds. The child may have screamed "wow wow" at the time, or he may not have screamed. The child's swaddling clothes fell on an ant nest. He may have been alive at the time, but he must have died later... ... He was covered with ants!
It’s no wonder that the little ghost has so much resentment, his life experience is really pitiful.
Now that I've found the body, it's my turn to take action.
