Night Lights

Chapter 27

Human beings are combined with yin and yang to form a body, the soul gathers to live, and the soul dies when scattered; the three souls: see the invisible, hear the silent, which is called the ghost; the seven souls: look back at the soul, live with the corpse, and fall into the world. Intangible; when the three souls are scattered, you can choose a clear paper spell, write the birthday, record the horoscope, and call the name taboo in the wild temples near the river, tombs and forests, and call the soul; soul. ——Excerpted from Tongyin Eight Volumes of "Wordless Book of Heaven".

……

Bai Shibao was passive in everything in his life.But once he was pushed into a path, he would roll forward. He was fascinated by sitting in a teahouse listening to operas, and seeing all kinds of gambling games.Who made him enter the Dao and become the sole passer of the Yin-Yang Dao School. After Zhang Blind died, he had to single-handedly provoke this leader.

What happened to Bai Shibao listening to the driver's talk was exactly the same as what happened in General Xu's house, they were stripping corpses to extract fetuses.Bai Shibao couldn't help but gasped, remembering what his master said, behind this scene there was a Taoist priest with evil intentions who was harming the nature and morality, raising ghosts and refining corpses.

Seeing Bai Shibao bow his head in deep thought, he felt that he was quite curious about this matter, so he sized Bai Shibao up again and asked, "May I ask where you are going?"

"Go south to do some business." Bai Shibao lied.

"Don't fool me, you don't look like a businessman. Just now when you washed your face, a scroll appeared from your arms. It seemed to have something vaguely drawn on it. I can see it!"

Bai Shibao was stunned for a moment, he hurriedly covered his chest, and said with a smile, "Dare to love is the blooming in my bosom, revealing my whiteness."

"Setting up a car to catch a handle, what are my eyes for? I have been traveling all year round, who have we never seen? Just say that there is money or not, I can guess it by looking at it like this. Come on; of course I'm an ordinary person, I don't understand these Wenwan calligraphy and paintings, but haven't we seen pigs run before eating pork? Just now I saw you spend a lot of money, so I guessed that you were doing 'that line', the picture in your arms Calligraphy and painting are also antique treasures!"

Bai Shibao thought to himself: "They actually think of me as someone who's trying to make money..."

"Listen to me, according to your attire, wearing this thing on your body will definitely bring you disaster; whether you see wealth and do evil, or falsely accuse good people of being a thief, who in this world doesn't have it? Weasels also specialize in eating sick ducks Not to mention anything else, just a few green-skinned scoundrels here, just find someone to fight with you, take advantage of the opportunity to snatch things away, what can you do? In my opinion, you might as well get rid of it as soon as possible, so as not to cause disaster! Besides, like You probably don’t know anything about your business, do you? Just now you saw an old book with sharp eyes.”

Bai Shibao looked down at his own attire. The sloppy attire was indeed not eye-catching, but he didn't want to be a rich person either.

"I think the first thing you need to do is to shave your face, shave your head, take a bath, buy a clean outfit and put it on. You are dressed like this, with a braid on your head. If you don't get caught by the officials, you must be arrested." You go to jail and cut your braids!"

Bai Shibao thought to himself: Although what I do is not a business of fighting for money, and I don't have that much money in my hand, but they saw me carrying something in my arms. Killing can be troublesome.Seeing the two handlebars drinking a few glasses of wine, one looked a little erratic, and the other looked a little blank, so he asked: "I'm new here and I'm not familiar with the way down south, but can I avoid those officers, soldiers and gangsters with some shortcuts?"

"I heard that Yuan's big head was set up to be the emperor of the country. Warlords everywhere are now jealous. Wherever you go, you can't hear the sound of gunshots? But you have short hands and short mouths when you eat people. If you invite us to drink, we will Let me tell you a shortcut..."

Bai Shibao was overjoyed, and hurriedly moved his ears to it.

The two handlebars arranged the wine and meat on the wine table, pointed to a wine glass and said: "This is Henan, you go southwest around Kaifeng City, pass through Shaanxi and go south to the border of Sichuan, follow the footpath Just arrived in Yunnan, don't go to the towns along the way, just pick some remote paths, if your horse legs are strong enough, you will be there in less than three days!"

Bai Shibao saw that this route bypassed all the roads in Hubei, Hunan, Guizhou, and Guangxi, and chose a desolate and dangerous mountain in the northwest to go. Not to mention the lack of investigation, it also saved a lot of time.

Bai Shibao thanked the two handlebars.

At this time, the shopkeeper opened the curtain, holding a large bundle of thick yellow paper coins, and smiled at Bai Shibao, "I have all the things you want, where do you think they are placed?"

After Bai Shibao took the yellow paper, he asked the shopkeeper for a secluded corner, rubbed the cinnabar with clear water, dipped the tip of a pen in it, and wrote on the yellow paper Mingqian: Beiyang Capital native Guerjiashibao burned The wealth of 5000 million taels was sent to Fengdu Yin Ghost City Huicun.

He also picked out a few wads of Mingqian alone, and wrote with a large pen: "As an agent of the underworld tax officer, you can get 100 taels of reward for your hard work."

"Master said that I have five disadvantages and three deficiencies. I only lost my fortune. Since I can't make a fortune in the underworld, I will be a rich man in the underworld! Money can invite ghosts and spirits. First burn the 5000 million taels, and save me when I go to the underworld." It’s used for customs clearance. If you accumulate more money in the future, you can deal with ghosts and wait for a few years of life. I’m afraid it won’t be a problem..."

Bai Shibao weighed the thick paper money, imitating the method of burning money recorded by his master, and stamped four doors on the ground with his hands, sealed the three doors in the southeast, north, and left a hole in the west door, and put a stack of yellow paper coins A pile of them burned inside the door.

It turns out that burning paper money also has something to say.

Usually burn paper for the deceased in the family, draw a circle and leave a mouth, which is regarded as sending money, and the underworld tax official collects some money and distributes it under the name of paper money.However, saving money in the underworld is different. The money is saved for oneself and left for enjoyment after death, but the painting is a "mouth" square. The three gates are closed, the east, the south, the north and the west gate is opened, and the Yin Cao tax official will come to pick it up, record the name and deposit it into the account. Next, the underworld is available after death.

Money is a round thing, and it is not easy to roll if you draw a square shape, so it is considered to be saved.

"Master taught me to catch the suffocation in the ghost's throat and use the 'ghost relic' to increase my lifespan, but this method is too slow to increase my lifespan. From the mouth of the thin and tall ghost, I learned that the ghost messenger can beg for money after taking money. Returning Yang to increase longevity, but I don’t know if this method is effective?”

Bai Shibao stood up and watched the sun rise in the sky, and he was no longer sleepy at all.

The matter of 'stripping corpses and taking tires' that the two handlebars said weighed on Bai Shibao's heart like a stone.

"Master used a yin method to destroy the walking corpse with the help of two ghosts. In the end, he exhausted his yang life and returned to heaven. The Taoist priest in the mourning sky probably knew that the walking corpse was eliminated, otherwise he would not come out to take the fetus and refine the corpse. I only sigh that Master pulled out the root of the trouble, but did not get rid of the root of the disaster..."

Bai Shibao patted the paper ashes on his body, came across the small bottle containing Lan Xin'er's ghost, took it out to have a look, and said, "You are good, you can sleep late during the day, I have to continue on my way!"

Bai Shibao returned to the room and turned to the two handlebars, and asked the young man to bring the horse over. The young man asked, "Why did you leave before you rested?"

Bai Shibao didn't answer, but pulled the rein with his hand, and the horse obediently followed Bai Shibao and walked out of the city. Bai Shibao thought to himself: "Lan Xin'er's horse-training bug is really powerful, and I will learn it sometime later. I am no longer afraid of riding a horse and kicking a donkey!"

After leaving the city, Bai Shibao rode his horse around the mountain road and galloped towards Miaojiang. Following the route indicated by the handlebars, he copied the foothill path all the way south. , all the way was safe and sound, and the rush of the trip was nothing to worry about...

A few days later, Bai Shibao plunged into a valley.

At this time, the sky was overcast, the surrounding vegetation was dead, poisonous insects were running rampant, vultures were eating rot, and a strong damp miasma enveloped this low valley.

"It's not late at night, and this ghost of Lan Xin'er can't come out yet, and no one is pointing me in the right direction, so where am I going?"

Bai Shibao patted his horse's back and crossed the valley. There was a dense forest in front of him, and he got into it without any hesitation.After marching for about an hour, seeing the dense forest and being unable to tell the direction, Bai Shibao simply jumped off his horse, searched for branches and dry firewood around, and set up a bonfire on the spot, thinking that he would wait until the night fell. Lan Xin'er's ghost came out so she could tell the direction.

Bai Shibao picked up the dead leaves on the ground, touched them with his hands, found them sticky and slippery, and said to himself, "In this dank place, water can be squeezed out of the leaves..."

Before Bai Shibao finished speaking, gusts of wind swept through the dense forest, blowing dead leaves and branches everywhere. Bai Shibao protected the fire with his body, and threw a few thick branches to hold down the campfire, for fear that the flames would be blown by the wind. Mie, looked up at the sky, I don't know when the cloud was gathering, the moonlight cup was covered without a trace, and the dark clouds were densely covered on the top of the head, as if there was a feeling of depression when the heavy rain was coming.

bang bang bang...

bang bang bang...

"What's the sound?" Bai Shibao heard the faint sound of footsteps in the depths of the dense forest, he was startled, and said: "The banker's leopard six, it must be bad luck and encounter a bandit again?"

While Bai Shibao was surprised, seven or eight figures had already come out of the forest. Bai Shibao took a fixed look and couldn't help shivering.

I saw seven people wearing black robes, embroidered with birds and beasts, court beads on their chests, flower feathers on their heads, and court boots. They looked like civil and military officials in the old Qing Dynasty. Each of the seven-inch yellow talisman papers stood stiffly, standing in a row like chopsticks.

Beside him was a handsome young man in his early twenties, with his hair combed back, wearing a double-breasted linen jacket, gray cloth trousers tied tightly with hemp rope, and black cloth shoes with white bottoms on his feet. Stop and count the number of people.Holding the Soul Requiem Bell in one hand, and scattered yellow paper coins all around with the other, he shouted:
"Sacrificing to heaven has spirit, burial place has life, walking corpse has spirit, zombie has sex; Xiangxi chases corpses, do not enter the living, do not disturb gods and ghosts, dissipate money, buy roads to return to the sun..."

"Could it be that he bumped into the corpse chaser?"
