I asked about the ghost boy, and Qu Mo said that the Mei family actually has two other ways to lure out the ghost. One is the zombie lip painting that we have experienced, and the other is the ghost boy opening the underworld. However, these two methods are not as reliable as the seven-star connected tomb. The seven pairs of eyeballs form a blood bead to open the underworld, which is equivalent to a guiding light for the ghost. It is foolproof and the ghost will not go in the wrong direction. This is the same as when I returned to the world from the underworld. Without a guiding light to give a signal, I might get lost somewhere and never come back.
We know about the zombies painting lips, but it is the first time to hear about ghosts opening the underworld. There is no such thing in the ancient books of Maoshan. Qu Mo said that ghosts are born with the ability to open the underworld between the Yin and Yang worlds, but they are too young to understand it themselves. This requires the help of a magician's spell, especially a ghost in a human fetus is the best. However, because ghosts are too small and timid, it is easy to cause the ritual to fail, so it is better to use zombies to paint lips than ghosts.
Hiding the ghost boy in the tail of the spirit fox, and being led into the White Bone Cave by the magician, as long as the little ghost is strong, there is hope to lead the ghost out of the ghost realm, but the success rate is very low. As for how low it is, I think it is probably less than 20%. Otherwise, they have been doing it for so many years, why don't they use the ghost boy to get rid of the old ghost of the Feng family.
I sighed and decided to give up. First, I couldn't bear to chop off the fox's tail that it had cultivated with great effort. Even if I could bear to do so, the fox might not agree. Second, it's better not to do things that you are not sure of. Not only would you waste the fox's tail, but you would also waste time. It would be better to think of a foolproof plan. Thinking of this, I thought of the dead rat again and asked it again.
Seeing my disappointed look, Qu Mo said embarrassedly: "I have already gone against the spirit fox's wishes and told you this matter. Whether it can lend us its tail is not up to me."
I smiled at her and said, "It's okay. I'll think of another way."
After I separated from Qu Mo, it was almost twelve o'clock. I didn't want to go back home. I just followed Shen Bing's instructions and stayed in her dormitory for the night. But I was in a very bad mood. I had no interest in whether I could become a real man tonight.
Shen Bing also seemed to be in a depressed mood and did not speak a word during the whole journey. Her dormitory was on the fifth floor of the police station building. Basically, the entire floor was a dormitory. Two people lived in one dormitory. Because she was a Phoenix who flew from the provincial capital, the director allocated a room for her to live alone in order to curry favor with him.
But it was already this late, and colleagues in other dormitories might have gone to bed early. Shen Bing let me in and said sullenly, "It's a bad idea to let a wolf in tonight."
I was in no mood to argue with her. Feeling exhausted both physically and mentally, I collapsed into her fragrant bed and closed my eyes.
"Hey, come down and wash your feet, don't dirty my bed." Shen Bing whispered to me.
I opened my eyes and said, "Why are you speaking so quietly? We are not having an affair..."
"Bah, if you keep talking nonsense I'll tear your mouth apart. There's a pregnant sister living next door, and the walls here aren't very soundproof, so don't wake her up."
I was stunned and asked her: "Is it a pregnancy before marriage?"
"No, I have a husband." There was a bathroom in the dormitory. Shen Bing said and went in to flush the toilet.
"Why would you live in the dormitory if you have a husband? Are you two planning to get divorced?" I chased her to the bathroom and asked.
"No, her husband is a soldier in Xinjiang, and they are both orphans. She is more than eight months pregnant and there is no one to take care of her. We are worried about her being alone at home, so we let her live in the dormitory so that we can help her if anything happens."
I said "Oh" and nodded. This girl has a hard life. She is eight months pregnant and her only relative is still on guard duty at the border. She really deserves our respect!
Shen Bing filled the bathtub with water and told me to just take a shower. I nodded and was about to take off my shirt when I heard a sharp scream from next door. It was creepy!
