It’s okay not to open a ghost shop, but it’s not okay to ignore them. I honestly can’t do it.
So I asked my mother to tell the Wei family a lie, saying that we were still in Kunlun Mountain, but sent a letter saying that the child was recovering and might not be back for a year or two. My mother had never lied before, but she had no other choice but to agree.
Before she left, she asked me, "Are you sure you can bring this child back to life in a year or so?"
I said yes, and then my mother went. Shen Bing asked me if it was true, and I said, what the hell, shouldn't we just appease the Wei family first? At this critical moment, they dare not go to the underworld, dare not look for their ancestors, let alone meet the Seventh and Eighth Masters, wouldn't that make things difficult for the two brothers
Right now, we can only freeze the bodies of these two people, and maybe one day, we can bring them back to life. I don't have the slightest confidence in saying this, because we don't know if we can find their souls. Even if we do, they may have already been reincarnated, or it may be too long ago for them to be resurrected.
I just held on to a glimmer of hope, which can be regarded as giving myself psychological comfort.
I immediately went out and bought a freezer, the kind used to freeze ice cream, and installed it in the store, freezing the bodies of Wei Ziling and Wang Zijun inside. When I came back from Qinghai, I bought a lot of ice cubes to freeze them, but the bodies didn't rot. Now I freeze them, hoping that one day I can take them out and revive them.
My mother came back and said that the Wei family believed her and were very grateful. This made me feel a little guilty. They were good people and I couldn't bear to lie to them like this.
After saying this, I told my mother that because of the matter of my great grandfather, he asked us to go out and avoid the limelight for a few days. My mother would never disagree with moving my great grandfather out, and she urged me to do as he said and leave quickly.
I said that his family told them to perform some ritual on you to prevent the ghosts from the underworld from finding the clues. After performing the shape-changing spell on my mother, I locked the shop and the house, took the bronze mirror and all the stuff, drove this broken pickup truck, and left Shangcheng Town at night.
We didn't worry about where to go, because we had a house in the provincial capital where Shen Bing could live. Originally, my mother still lived in the countryside, but I also wanted to find out the whereabouts of the souls of my great grandfather and Wang Zijun. Living in the countryside is inconvenient, so it's better to be in a big city where you can get more information.
So we got on the highway and headed straight to the provincial capital. When we stopped at a service area to rest, we suddenly found a lot of policemen and onlookers in the fields on one side of the highway. Shen Bing likes to watch the excitement, so she ran off the highway, and I followed curiously. We squeezed into the crowd and saw a dead body. The forensic doctor was examining the body, and we immediately recognized it as Boss Gu. I remembered that in Death Valley, Zhao Chengshi and Ling Peiqiang were both swallowed by the Hell Flower King, but I didn't see him. I always thought it was strange. It turned out that he escaped early and died here.
Seeing his body now makes me feel hateful. This bastard held my hand and almost made me drown in the river. I no longer believe that this bastard is my father's friend. Everything he said before has become a lie.
The forensic doctor came to a preliminary conclusion on the spot that the man had been castrated long ago, that is, he was a eunuch. The body was also highly decomposed. Judging from some of the rotten organs, he must have been dead for a long time. Also, from the examination of teeth and hair, he must have been dead for at least a year.
Shen Bing and I looked at each other, wondering if the forensic identification was too unreliable. If this bastard was a eunuch, there was nothing to dispute. He might have had his thing cut off after having an affair with someone else's wife. But some features of the body showed that he had been dead for more than a year, which was a bit unbelievable!
