The moment he saw the paper man, Zhang Qionian had to sigh, the craftsmanship of this paper maker was really extraordinary.
The paper man looks somewhat similar to Yao Zekai in the photo. Even from a distance, his body shape can be said to be exactly the same as in the photo.
You Ziming looked at the paper man and nodded with satisfaction.
Then he said to Yao Chuan, "If your son comes here to fish for you, you know that he is a very filial person. As soon as you see me raising my hand, shout your son's name as loudly as possible, as loud as possible." Be brave and say whatever you want. Got it?"
Yao Chuan nodded.
After the instructions, You Ziming held the paper man and walked towards the ice cave again.
You Ziming arrived at the ice cave, drew a talisman on the paper man's face, and then pressed the paper man into the ice cave little by little.
You must know that the inside of the paper man is a skeleton made of wheat straw, so it is impossible to sink directly into the water.
But every time the paper man floats up, he will be pressed down hard by You Ziming.
Suddenly, the paper figure seemed to be pulled down by something, and disappeared with a "swish".
Then You Ziming raised his hand to indicate that Yao Chuan could start shouting now.
After seeing You Ziming's instructions, Yao Chuan cried immediately.
"Zekai. Where are you? Dad is having a hard time looking for you. Come out quickly. Dad misses you."
Hearing his cry, a woman who had been silent next to her cried out with a "wow" sound. The sound was as loud as it sounded, and it was so sudden that it startled Zhang Qionian.
"Son, come out quickly. Don't make mom worry so much. Mom's heart is almost broken. Son"
Only then did Zhang Qionian realize that the woman who had been silent until now was Yao Zekai's mother. Because her son drowned, she couldn't accept it and was in a daze. Now she heard Yao Chuan's cry and suddenly recovered.
Yao Chuan and his wife cried like this for more than ten minutes. You Ziming saw Yao Zekai's body floating from the water and hurriedly shouted, "Bring me a rope quickly!"
The old man who was looking at the reservoir was the first to react. He took the thick hemp rope tied to the stone and threw it over.
You Ziming tied a deadlock on one end of the rope and put it directly under the armpit of the corpse.
"Pull up!"
Hearing You Ziming's shout, the old man looking at the reservoir, Zhang Qionian, and Yao Chuan couple pulled the rope back hard.
After a while, Yao Zekai's body was pulled up.
Zhang Qionian even saw Yao Zekai's ghost standing on the ice looking at his body. But at this time, Yao Zekai looked extremely embarrassed.
When everyone pulled Yao Zekai's body up, You Ziming opened the body's trousers and took a look. Sure enough, there was a clear handprint on it, as if it had been grabbed by one hand.
If there is a forensic doctor here, he will definitely say, "The deceased was dragged vigorously before death to leave this fingerprint."
However, later You Ziming and Zhang Qiaonian knew that it was entirely caused by the water ghost underwater.
At this time, the water ghost seemed to have realized that he had been deceived by the paper man, and he was looking at the people on the shore bitterly on the ice.
Seeing Yao Zekai's body, Yao Chuan and his wife burst into tears.
It was You Ziming who reminded him, "Let the funeral home's car come and take him away first. This child has been dead for such a long time. It's time to let him go."
It was as if Yao Chuan had woken up from a dream. He picked up the phone and called the funeral home. Because the reservoir was quite close to the funeral home, the funeral home's car arrived in just over ten minutes.
Yao Chuan knew that You Ziming was Mr. Yin and Yang, so Yao Zekai's funeral affairs were left to him.
But You Ziming said, "You go first and leave a car for me. I have some things to do here. This is related to whether your son's soul can rest in peace."
When Yao Chuan heard what he said, he immediately asked his driver to stay here waiting for him. Yao Chuan went to the funeral parlor first.
Seeing that they were all gone, You Ziming asked the driver to go back to the car and wait, while You Ziming took Zhang Qiaonian back to the shore.
"Qiao Nian, most Yin Yang gentlemen just find the body of the deceased and that's it. But as an orthodox Taoist disciple, there is still one more job to do."
Zhang Qionian asked, "What's the matter?"
You Ziming said, "You will know in a moment."
Then, You Ziming took out a talisman from his pocket and said in his mouth, "Between heaven and earth, yin and yang correspond to each other. Now I summon Yao Zekai's soul, come quickly, listen to my order, no evil will stop me, no delay, I'm here!"
As soon as You Ziming finished reciting the spell, Yao Zekai's soul floated over from the ice.
You Ziming took out another talisman, made a seal on his hand and said, "Heaven and earth are merciful, and all dharma can be saved. I follow the order of the founder of Sanqing Dynasty! Use the talisman as a guarantee, use the incense as a guide, transcend this, and be liberated quickly. Laws and Orders!”
The talisman emits a golden light that envelopes Yao Zekai's soul.
But when the golden light dissipated, Yao Zekai's soul did not change at all.
You Ziming said in confusion, "No, how could it fail?"
"Brother Ziming!"
Yuwen Yunxin's voice sounded from behind the two of them.
The two of them turned around at the same time and saw Yuwen Yunxin and a person they didn't recognize standing behind them.
Zhang Qionian said happily, "Sister Yuwen, why are you here?"
Yuwen Yunxin said, "I have become the evil spirit of this area. If there are ghosts here, of course I will come to escort them."
You Ziming said, "You came just in time, why can't I save him?"
Yuwen Yunxin said, "He was captured by the drowned ghost under the reservoir as a substitute. There are only two ways to re-enter reincarnation. One is to capture the substitute, the most common way, and the other is to pass the test of the underworld."
"What test?"
Yuwen Yunxin said, "Leave it to me."
I saw Yuwen Yunxin throwing a chain towards the ice. After a while, the water ghost under the ice was tied up with the chain and flew out.
Then Yuwen Yunxin said to the man, "You go back first and let me deal with this ghost."
The man didn't say anything, and just disappeared from the place with the drowned ghost.
Then a token suddenly appeared in Yuwen Yunxin's hand, and she waved it in front of Yao Zekai. Yao Zekai's soul reappeared in the ice cave.
"What are you doing?"
Yuwen Yunxin said, "Brother Ziming, don't worry, just watch. Whether he can be freed depends on himself."
Suddenly Yao Zekai's soul began to struggle desperately in the ice cave.
Although this seemed to be the case in their eyes, Yao Zekai was already caught in an ideological struggle between heaven and man.
Because in his eyes, there was a person falling into the ice cave at this time, and in Yao Zekai's heart, only by catching someone as a substitute could he escape from this bitter cold place.
In Yao Zekai's heart, on one hand he couldn't bear it, and on the other hand he didn't want to continue to guard this bitter cold place.
Zhang Qionian and You Ziming didn't understand what he was doing either.
At this time, Yuwen Yunxin explained, "This is the test I just mentioned. He is now in a hallucination."
"What hallucination?"
Zhang Qionian still doesn't understand this.
But You Ziming seemed to have thought of something, "Are you talking about the test of human nature?"
Yuwen Yunxin nodded.
Zhang Qionian asked anxiously, "What are you talking about?"
Yuwen Yunxin explained, "In fact, every drowned ghost will undergo a test at the beginning of drowning. A test about human nature."
According to Yuwen Yunxin, in fact, every person who drowns, whether because he slipped and fell into the water, committed suicide, or was captured by a water ghost as a substitute, will go through this test.
The ghost casts illusions on the dead souls, and the dead souls will see someone slipping and falling into the water in front of them. At this time, the deceased soul will have an illusion in his heart that he will escape as long as he drowns this person.
If the dead soul fails to withstand the test and really drowns the person who slipped and fell into the water, then he will become a real water ghost. Even if he does find a substitute in the following days, he will be severely punished for harming others.
But if the soul of the dead survives the test, that is, if he saves the people who fell into the water, then he will transcend the six realms of reincarnation and become the guardian of this water area. After saving a certain number of people who have fallen into the water, he can become the underworld. The difference.
However, how can this test of human nature be so easy to pass?
Zhang Qionian asked, "What if this dead soul ignores the person who fell into the water?"
Yuwen Yunxin said, "Then he will still be regarded as failing the test. Sometimes inaction is still a sin."
Perhaps sensing Zhang Qiaonian's curiosity, Yuwen Yunxin walked up to Zhang Qiaonian and blocked his eyes with his hands.
In an instant, Zhang Qionian saw Yao Zekai's current situation.
At this time, Yao Zekai was pulling the drowned person into the ice cave. Zhang Qiong was feeling anxious, but he also knew that this test must be foolproof. Even if he went and told Yao Zekai that this was a test, Yao Zekai would not believe it. Now he can only pray that Yao Zekai's good thoughts can defeat his evil thoughts.
However, God seemed to hear his prayers, and Yao Zekai suddenly pushed the drowning man onto the ice.
Zhang Qionian clenched his fists at this time, as if cheering him on.
But Yuwen Yunxin said, "We can't help him. In order to ensure whether the dead soul is strong-willed, it will be easy for the dead soul to pull people into the water, but it will be extremely difficult to save people."
What Yu Wenjunxin said is absolutely right. When Yao Zekai pushed someone onto the ice, it seemed extremely difficult.
However, he did not give up. Even though his arm had been cut by the ice with several deep cuts showing the bone, he still did not give up and was still pushing the drowning person onto the ice.
After working hard for nearly half an hour, he finally pushed the person who fell into the water to the shore.
Yuwen Yunxin waved the token in his hand, and Yao Zekai returned to the shore again.
"I, what's wrong with me?"
Yao Zekai obviously hasn't woken up from the hallucination just now.
Yuwen Yunxin smiled and said, "Congratulations, you have successfully passed the test. Now you can follow me to report to the Yin Division. When you come back from the Yin Division, you will be the guardian of this water area. When you rescued forty-nine people who fell into the water, After that, you will be able to become a real yinsha."
"Me? Guardian? Undercover?"
Obviously Yao Zekai doesn't quite believe this.
Yuwen Yunxin said, "You will know when you come back from Yinsi. You can come with me first."
After that, he said hello to Zhang Qionian and prepared to leave.
Zhang Qionian suddenly thought of something Hu Tiande had said to him.
Hu Tiande said that in fact, every body of water that is rumored to be haunted by water ghosts will have a patron saint, but they chose the wrong one at the beginning. If everyone could be controlled by their own kind thoughts, there would be no water ghosts in this world, but only guardian angels of the waters.
