Chapter 149: Bone knocking

Views:

I looked at the bones on the table and was stunned. If that was the case, why would he come to me

I wrapped the bones in black cloth and went to He Dana.

He Dana is drinking.

I took out the black cloth and opened it. He Dana was stunned and spoke for a long time.

"Indeed, we will go to Han Yang right away."

When we went over there, Han Xue was actually in the room, in the study.

"What brings you here?"

"I dreamed last night that my father came back, so I came to see him."

He Dana and I went straight into the third room, where Han Yang's wife was sitting. Han Yang's skeleton was gone.

"Let's go. We have to find him, or something terrible will happen."

We were looking for Han Yang's skeleton, but there was no way to find it. The bone that fell at my doorstep yesterday should have belonged to Han Yang. I don't know how it fell. It seemed that Master Han Yang came to my place yesterday and knocked on the door for half the night. If I knew it was him, I would definitely open the door, but I didn't know and I was afraid. The best way to deal with a ghost knocking on the door is to pretend not to hear it and ignore it, then nothing will happen.

We didn't find him. We went to He Dana's place, but we couldn't figure out where Master Han Yang would go. He came to my place yesterday, so something must have happened.

The next day at work, the big ghost was still in my office.

I asked Han Xue to go to the refining room first.

"Why are you still here?"

"I'm here to help you. Han Yang's skeleton is at the crematorium."

"What happened?"

"There is a Yin Qi entering. Han Yang's skeleton is in the crematorium, looking for a replacement. This is definitely not a good thing. You must not let him catch you. He is now an evil thing, no matter who you are."

The big ghost left after he finished speaking, and the evil spirit also slowly disappeared.

Han Yang was actually in the crematorium. Could that be the morgue? Or some other place.

Han Xue and I were busy until noon. I asked her to go home and I sat in the office, wondering where Han Yang would be.

I didn't see it in the morgue. I was analyzing it when the director came in.

"There's a noise in the urn. The keeper has gone off duty. Come with me to take a look."

"Why haven't you left yet?"

"I felt a little flustered today. I was afraid something might happen, so I didn't leave. As expected."

When we entered the columbarium, we heard the sound, the sound of bones knocking. I thought, it might be Han Yang. What was he doing here

The door was locked. The manager took out the key and tried to open it, but I refused. I looked inside through the crack in the door, but couldn't see anything as the rows of shelves blocked my view. The knocking sound was still going on.

That's the sound of bones knocking. I can hear it. I've heard it before, so I know.

I opened the door, pulled it open, and looked inside, but still didn't see Han Yang.

I walked slowly inside, towards the last row of shelves. I could only hear sounds but couldn't see anyone. It was so strange. The sounds didn't stop when we came in.

I have reached the end and seen everything inside, but there is no one, no Han Yang, only sounds.

Suddenly, I heard a shout behind me.

"stop."

It turned out to be Master Yi Qiuju, which scared me a lot.

"Don't go in, come out immediately."

The director and I will come out, said Yi Qiuju.

"That's the sound of knocking bones. It's a temptation. You must not go in."

I think that should be the sound of Master Han Yang knocking bones, luring us over and then saving the world.

I started sweating. It seemed that Master Han Yang had turned his back on anyone.

I'll go to He Dana right away.

"Knocking bones is very painful. For a bone man, it's like using a knife on his body. It seems that Han Yang has to take over the world. I really don't know who will be unlucky."

"Is there any other solution?"

"Of course there is. This is a person who lives in both the Yin and Yang worlds in one life. Once he succeeds in replacing the world, it will be possible to kill this person."

"That's murder."

"Yes, if you don't kill him, he will do evil."

"How about breaking up the skeletons?"

"You can only hear the sound of bones knocking now, you can't see him at all. You can't do it."

He Dana took the bone that Han Yang dropped at my door and looked at it.

If we wait until after he dies, then kill him, that's not possible, we can only let him die on his own, but that would be too harmful to others.

I frowned.

That night, there was another ghost knocking on the door. I opened the door, but there was no one there. I looked at the window, and I was stunned. It was a skeleton, but it was not Han Yang. It was Han Yang's wife. Han Yang's wife also ran out.

I went to He Dana immediately, and he was also surprised when he heard it.

"Go to Han Yang right away. Why is the yin energy so strong?"

When we went over, He Dana asked all four of us to face the wall.

"That's all right. Just don't let them get out."

He Da and I took it out.

"That won't work either."

"It seems that they have all targeted you. There must be a reason. It could be that you are an extremely yin person, or there could be other reasons."

"What should we do then?"

"You go there and live there. You can also work somewhere else these few days, and Hanxue can also come to my place. I came up with a plan yesterday."

I called Hanxue and went to He Dana's place, and we sat in the yard drinking.

He Dana said.

"They will come at night, and I will set a trap and break their bones."

He Dana took out a large box from the room, which contained bone needles, bone hammers, and bone sleeves.

"This is a trap for ghosts. I don't think they've asked. We can't see Han Yang, and we can't see his wife today. We can tell where they are and how they got in. We'll have to wait and see."

He Dana handed me the bone hammer and told me to smash it when the time came.

He Dana hung up the bone needle and the bone sleeve with a rope, then grabbed a handful of ash from the black bag and scattered it on the ground.

"This is bone ashes, ground into powder. Ghosts can't see it. Once you step on it, bone shapes will appear."

After He Dana finished, we continued drinking. Han Xue didn't look well.

"Are you okay? Don't think too much. They are no longer your parents."

"I know."

Hanxue didn't say anything, and I understood her feelings, so I asked her to go into the house and rest.

He Dana told me about something that happened six years ago.

Six years ago, the venue was recruiting workers and hired a man in his twenties to be a makeup artist. When this guy came in, he was quite strange. His hand was a ghost hand, with three ghost green dots on the palm. That was a ghost hand. People with such hands don't live long because they are being pulled by ghosts. I didn't like this person and kept away from him. Later, strange things happened. The dead people he made up always had a blue dot on their necks. I discovered that it was a ghost mark. After the person died, the ghost was controlled. I found this and felt that this person was not a good person. I told the director about it. The director meant that it was better to have less trouble because after all, it was ghost business and it was their business whether they cared about it or not.

But I don’t see it that way. This person is collecting ghosts.

I caught him red-handed in the dressing room that day. He was marking the ghost with a pen in his hand and stared at me blankly. I didn't say anything. He was nervous and sweating.

"Master He, please don't tell me about this. I will give you a ghost when the time comes."

I glared at him and said.

"You must release these ghosts with ghost marks right now, or I will punish you and you will leave."

The boy actually said.

"It's none of your business. I'm telling you this because I'm giving you face. Who here doesn't try to be stingy? Otherwise, there won't be any ghosts in the ghost market, right?"

"Okay, then you wait."

This incident made me so angry. This kid actually did this and was so arrogant.

I laid a trick on him, and this kid stepped on it on his way home without even knowing it.

The next day, the kid came back showing off. He walked the ghost path that day. As soon as he entered the dressing room, he entered the ghost path and was possessed. This kid did not enter the dressing room, but the ghost path. He kept walking and it would take three days and three nights to come out. He could not stop.

This guy came to me three days later and told me that he had released all the ghosts and would not do such things anymore. Later, this guy left the crematorium and I never saw him again. This kind of person is born with a ghost mark on his hand. He is a celestial being who catches ghosts, but he does not live long.

It was getting dark, and He Dana looked at the door. It was half open, which is called a half-open door. A half-open door actually leaves three-quarters of a space for ghosts to come in. It is best not to open such a door like this. Either open it wide, or close it, or only open it three-quarters of the way.

After pushing it a bit, He Dana looked at me and I took the bone hammer in my hand. I didn't expect that Han Yang and his wife came together and stepped on the ashes. Two skeletons appeared immediately. I hit them with two hammers and their bones fell apart. There were two screams. Those were the screams of Master Han Yang. I could hear that Han Xue rushed out and screamed.

"Dad, Mom..."

She heard a familiar voice, He Dana shouting.

"Don't shout, Xiao Zuo, hurry up and put the bones into the black bag, all into one bag."

I've finished installing it, said He Dana.

"Throw it into the pool, quickly."

I'll throw it in, He Dana glanced at Han Xue and said.

"It's okay. It's okay."

Han Xue hugged me and started crying.

The matter was resolved in this way. I took Hanxue home, and my father came and prepared dinner for us.

My father was staying here that day. He seemed to have something to say to me. After hesitating for a long time, he went into the room and I followed him in.

"Dad, is something wrong?"

"Oh, I want to move your mother's grave."

"Why?"

"The feng shui there has been destroyed, and the mountain has been dug up."

"Oh, then, let's move. Pick a good day. Have you chosen a location?"

"I've chosen a place on Yuanbao Mountain. Come with me to take a look after you get off work tomorrow."

I didn't expect that my father would suddenly say to move my mother's grave. I thought it was a bit strange. I'm afraid his reason was not just this. I could tell that my father was worried.

The next day after get off work, my father and I went to Yuanbaoshan, a nice place where we got to know the village.

"Then bury him here and dig up the grave tomorrow."

The next day, my father and I went to dig up the grave. It was true that the mountain opposite had been dug up and the feng shui had been destroyed. The feng shui of a grave is very particular. The Yin house and the Yang house are equally important. The most important thing is not to offend any evil spirits, no matter how big or small. This is a big evil spirit.

When they were digging up the grave, it rolled over and was located three or four meters away from the road. They then found the coffin. My mother had not been cremated when she died, so the coffin had already rotted away.

"Let's collect the bones first. Tomorrow I'll ask Ji Yihe for a half coffin that can hold all the bones."

"OK."

When picking up the bones, we actually found a problem. We found a bowl in the coffin. I looked at my father.

"Did you put this bowl there?"

"No, not on the day of the burial. I sealed the coffin myself and only put a makeup box in it."

But the makeup box was gone, but there was a bowl instead. The bowl was made of wood. There was a story behind this. I frowned.

"Dad, think about it, who would move this coffin back then?"

My father shook his head.

"No one came near. I was escorting them the whole time. This is impossible. The only possibility is that it was put in later. Someone took away the makeup box and replaced it with a wooden bowl."

I knew it was not good, but I didn't know what was wrong with it. After picking up the bones, I threw a carrot into the pit. After I got home and put the bones away, I went to Ji Yihe.

Ji Yihe was preparing the urn at home.

"Master Ji, my mother's coffin has rotted away. I want a half coffin when I move the grave this time."

"Oh, no problem then, follow me."

Master Ji took me into a room full of half-empty coffins.

"Just choose that one. The half coffin is good. The material is quite good and won't rot."

I gave Ji a box of money, but he didn't want it and said it was a gift for me and a house for your mother.

That half coffin is indeed beautiful.

"You're not very happy."

Ji Yihe asked me.

I told him about Wan's makeup box. He was stunned and sighed after a long time.

"Don't bury him for now. Find the makeup box. You also need to find the person who put the bowl there. You must do it."

I stared at Ji Yihe blankly. What did he mean? Was it such a big trouble? (To be continued)
