This is the first time I've encountered this matter with the old Han family. It's not that I don't want to help, it's mainly because I've never seen anything about Han Youfu before.
Seeing that I was willing to help, Old Man Han quickly asked me how to do it. I thought about it and told him to get two bowls of water and a piece of paper.
I also learned this method from Uncle Ma, but to be honest, I am only at the theoretical stage and have not yet practiced it.
However, their paper is not very up to standard, a bit thick, not what I want, but I can only make do with it.
Then, I covered the piece of paper on the water, then held the bowl of water, and asked Ma Yunfeng to hold another bowl of water and began to collect the soul.
I used three fingers to grab water in the water bowl, and then sprinkled it on top of the bowl of water covered with paper.
While sprinkling, chant the mantra in your mouth.
"The day is auspicious and the time is good, the heaven and the earth are open, and the soul-collecting auspiciousness is auspicious. I invite the Six Ding Divine Soldiers, the Liujia Divine Generals, the Twenty-eight Constellations, and the Heavenly Master to help me collect the souls. I will take Han Youfu's three souls and seven souls into myself. The Divine Soldiers are as urgent as fire. Laws and Orders!”
I recited it five or six times in succession, sprinkling water while reciting it.
I remember very clearly that when Uncle Ma did this before, the paper would change very quickly and blisters would appear one by one.
The more and larger the blisters are, the more successful the soul collection will be.
But this time it was my turn. I don’t know why. I worked hard for a long time, but I didn’t see a blister on the paper.
After a while, I was sweating on my forehead, but it still didn't work.
I could only stop and look at Ma Yunfeng. He also saw what I meant. He raised his head and said to Old Han: "This paper won't work. Is there any one that is particularly thin? It won't work with this paper."
This Ma Yunfeng is really good at reading. He knows what is going on with just one look at me and can immediately say what I am thinking.
He is so rare. If he were a woman, I would want to hug him and kiss him twice.
Old Han looked confused: "No, I can't find any other paper at home. What should I do? Can't I collect the soul?"
I shook my head: "No, I can't keep this paper, and I feel like his soul can't come back to one place, as if it's trapped by something."
Old Han hurriedly asked: "Master, what do you think we should do? Then we can think of a solution. If this good person can't come back, isn't he useless?"
I thought for a while and said, "I have a feeling that his soul won't go far. It seems to be in this village."
Ma Yunfeng also said: "Yes, I feel the same way, and I also feel that if we leave on the front foot, the thing will come later."
This is a troublesome problem. I looked at Han Youfu who was huddled in the corner. At this time, he was no longer arrogant. He looked at me pitifully, like a stupid boy.
And seeing that it was getting dark, if he left at this time, there would probably be a commotion at his house tonight.
I lowered my head and thought about it, and decided to help them to the end, even if it was against the old couple and Ma Yunfeng.
So I took out the dragon-seeking ruler and asked on the spot.
Naturally, what I asked was where Han Youfu's soul was. Logically speaking, there is no need to bother King Qinglong with such a trivial matter, but who made him the weapon spirit of my Xunlong Ruler now?
Qinglong was also very generous. After turning around a few times on the spot, he pointed steadily in a direction.
When I saw it, I saw that this was the school...
But it was still early, and it would be bad if the security guards caught me if I went to school.
Old Man Han told us that there is a school-run bottle cap factory inside the school, so the security guards have to keep an eye on it, but people only watch it in the first half of the night, and usually no one cares about it in the second half of the night.
I was a little speechless, thinking to myself, what’s there to see in a broken bottle cap factory? Are you worried that someone will steal the bottle caps?
But in this case, it's better not to cause trouble.
Ma Yunfeng and I stayed at his house, and Han and his family cooked dinner for us. He was planning to kill a chicken, but I stopped him.
I said, why are you killing the chicks? Just keep them to lay eggs. If you eat them, you will go blind.
Old Han was very honest and said that it was okay, and I would kill a rooster.
When he said this, the big rooster in his yard happened to wander in front of me. I looked down at the chicken, and the chicken looked up at me, turned around and ran away.
I couldn't help laughing, and I said pull it down. Why risk its life just for the sake of a meal? It would be nice to let it crow every morning. Just make me some tofu and cabbage stew.
I said this from the bottom of my heart. I have never eaten these freshly killed animals since I was a child. Old Han was very happy when he heard this. He said that tofu stewed with cabbage is not good, and I have to order some pork belly!
After saying that, Old Man Han ran off to buy meat. He didn't have much time and came back carrying a piece of pork belly and a piece of tofu.
That's what I had for dinner that day, pork belly stewed with cabbage and tofu. The old lady also put a handful of vermicelli in it, which tasted delicious.
After we finished eating, we waited until almost twelve o'clock. During this period, Old Man Han ran to the school several times just to see if the security guard was asleep.
At half past twelve, Old Han ran back again and told us that the lights in the security room had been turned off.
I glanced at Ma Yunfeng, stood up immediately, and took action!
I was not idle this night. I drew two soul-attracting charms, one for Ma Yunfeng and I, and then went out and went straight to school.
When we arrived at the place soon, we both saw that the school door had been locked. The lights in the security room inside were indeed turned off, and the surroundings were dark.
So the two of us were not polite, climbed over the wall and entered the school, and then came to the location of the old locust tree again during the day.
Because I think there is definitely something wrong with this tree.
It was almost one o'clock in the middle of the night. There were no lights in the countryside at night. It was pitch dark everywhere, and the tree in front of me looked even weirder.
And I didn't notice it during the day, but when I looked at the tree at night, I could actually see from a certain angle that the shape of the tree was like a dragon, and even the shape of the dragon's head was clearly visible.
The two of us pondered around the tree for a while, and then I came to the big iron ring on the tree body and put my hand on it, trying to feel something special.
During the day, I stretched out my hand and pulled it twice, but I felt nothing.
But for some reason, when I put my hand on the hoop again, a sound like a cow's braying suddenly came from my mind.
The sound was very loud and clear. I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, thinking where did this sound come from?
I loosened my hand slightly and the sound disappeared.
When I grabbed the hoop again, the sound appeared again.
This is very strange, why is this happening?
I turned around and called Ma Yunfeng in a low voice: "Hey, come and take a look, something is wrong..."
But as soon as I turned around, I saw Ma Yunfeng standing there blankly, his eyes dull, his feet slightly raised off the ground, and a pair of hands actually strangled his neck!
My thoughts raced in my mind and I immediately looked up.
I saw a black shadow flashing across the tree.
Vaguely, I saw a red embroidered shoe hidden in the branches...
