I got a lot of useful information from the old lady. I seemed to have figured out the whole story, which also confirmed my previous guesses.
When things were almost done, I stood up and said goodbye to the old man. After telling him to take the medicine according to the prescription I gave him, I followed Uncle Hu Zi and left.
Before Uncle Huzi left, he put ten thousand yuan on the table while the old man was not paying attention.
By the time we returned to the village chief's house, it was almost nine o'clock in the evening.
Before entering the door, I heard a burst of howling and the sound of many people talking from the yard.
After entering, we saw that the courtyard was already full of people. There were two benches in the middle of the courtyard, with a coffin placed on the benches.
Needless to say, the coffin contained must be the village chief's son, Tie Zhu. I don't know how the village chief found the coffin for his son in such a short period of time.
Sitting next to the coffin was a woman who had been crying and very sad. She must be Tiezhu's mother.
The sight of a white-haired person giving a black-haired person a gift is really uncomfortable.
In addition, I also saw Wang Guilin's family sitting next to the village chief and whispering something.
It was really shocking that something like this happened as soon as they arrived in this village. Wang Guilin's family probably forgot the purpose of coming here.
Wang Shilong's daughter was also surprisingly well-behaved tonight, neither crying nor fussing, lying in her mother's arms.
Not long after we arrived in the yard, two more people suddenly came from outside.
As soon as these two people arrived, the noise in the yard suddenly stopped, and everyone looked in the direction of those two people.
But the people who came were two Taoist priests, one old and one young.
The older ones are around sixty years old, and the younger ones are in their early twenties.
As soon as the two Taoist priests came in, the village chief stood up excitedly, trotted towards the two Taoist priests, grabbed the old Taoist priest's hand, and said in a tearful voice: "Taoist priest Xu, can you Here we come! My son died unjustly, you have to help him and give him salvation, otherwise he will die with his eyes open and will not be able to be reincarnated."
"It doesn't matter. I will do my best to give your son a good life. Mr. Wang is the one who expresses my condolences." Xu Daochang sighed and patted the village chief on the shoulder.
From this point of view, the two should be old acquaintances and very familiar with each other.
Soon, the two Taoist priests, the old one and the young one, walked to the coffin and asked someone to bring a long table over and placed it in front of the coffin. Then all kinds of fruits, pears and peaches were placed on the table.
When I looked at the battle, I saw that this veteran was going to the rhythm of doing things.
When the body of the village chief's son Tie Zhu was fished out of the river, his soul was gone and had been devoured by ghosts. In this case, it could not be used for any ritual.
What lay in the coffin was nothing more than a useless corpse.
After the Dharma altar was decorated, Taoist Master Xu asked his disciple to place a brazier in front of the Dharma altar with a lot of yellow paper in it.
At this time, Taoist Xu held the peach wood sword in his hand and walked unsteadily in the direction of the brazier, mumbling something in his mouth.
When he got close to the brazier, he took out a talisman and threw it towards the brazier. All the paper money in the brazier suddenly burned with a "boom".
It has to be said that Taoist Xu still has some tricks, but not many.
Uncle Huzi said to me in a low voice: "Master, what is this old Taoist doing? Is he dancing like a master?"
"Don't worry about it. It may be the custom in the village. People who die suddenly have to ask the Taoist priest to come and redeem them. Otherwise, they will not be able to be reincarnated. It's a pity that the soul of the village chief's son has long been swallowed by that ghost. There is no salvation. It’s necessary.”
"I think the old Taoist priest is just pretending, just don't ruin our affairs." Uncle Huzi said.
Uncle Hu Zi and I found a place and watched from a distance. When Wang Guilin and his family saw us coming back, they walked towards us.
"Master Wu, what happened is that the village chief's son drowned as soon as he arrived in the village. What a crime." Wang Guilin said with some self-blame.
"Master Wu, it's getting dark, will my daughter be haunted by ghosts soon?" Wang Shilong asked worriedly.
"As long as I'm here today, you can rest assured that your daughter's matter should be resolved tonight." I said seriously.
A few of us were chatting. Suddenly, the Taoist Master Xu took a peach wood sword, stepped on the dougang, and began to recite a spell loudly: "Wandering souls, where to survive, in the wilderness by the river, in the tombs, in the mountains, in the virtual world." I was frightened and lost my true soul. Please ask the road gods to help you find it quickly. The boy sent the soul and the possession is safe..."
While he was reciting this incantation, the wind suddenly came up, a strange dark wind, which blew the burning paper in the brazier flying all over the sky and swirling around the coffin.
At the same time, groups of black whirlwinds appeared around the yard, swirling around the coffin.
When everyone saw this scene, they were all frightened and fearful.
Even I was shocked when I saw this scene.
Good guy, what this old man recited turned out to be a soul-calling mantra.
Tie Zhu's soul has been swallowed by the evil ghost, and there is absolutely no way he can bring it back. He chanting the soul-calling spell at this time will only summon the ghost that killed Tie Zhu.
There are so many people in this yard. Once that ghost is brought over, the consequences will be disastrous.
Thinking of this, I quickly took a few steps towards the Taoist priest and said loudly: "Taoist priest, stop for a moment!"
The old Taoist was still reciting the incantation. When he heard what I said, the incantation suddenly stopped. He looked back at me and said angrily: "Where did the scoundrel come from? He disturbed the poor Taoist's practice and finally attracted the souls." , you scared people away and failed to save the souls of the dead, this is all your responsibility!"
The village chief also came over, pointed at me and said angrily: "Why are you like this? I kindly invited you to dinner and treated you as a guest. You came here intentionally to cause trouble!"
"Your son's soul is gone a long time ago. There is no need for salvation. Calling the soul now will only attract other unclean things. It will be very dangerous here. I advise you not to do this!" I said sternly.
"Young kid, you are talking nonsense. I have walked on more bridges than you have walked on. You are still here to point fingers. Don't embarrass yourself here." Daochang Xu said angrily.
"What the hell are you talking about? Do you believe I will slap you?!" Uncle Hu Zi said angrily and rushed towards the old man.
When the old Taoist saw the fierce look on Uncle Hu Zi's face, he immediately took a few steps back in fright. At this time, the Wang family members also quickly came up to break up the fight and grabbed Uncle Hu Zi.
"Good words can't persuade the damn ghost, Uncle Hu Zi, just leave it alone." I snorted coldly.
