Ling Yun in the vehicle suddenly became energetic. Is there anyone catching ghosts?
My dear, why are you so excited? This is a chance to meet a colleague!
This is the first time I have met a colleague in this era, except for the wicked man in the village!
He quickly opened the car curtain and suggested to Su Youting who was driving in front, "Let's go take a look too!"
Su Youting readily agreed, speeding up by horse and cart, but when he waited, the deserted house that once looked ghostly from a distance was now as lively as a temple where crowds gathered for a temple fair, except for the clever vendors, carrying The burden comes to sell, and there is a wave of business opportunities.
Fortunately, they had a carriage with them, so they couldn't get too close, but standing on the carriage board, they could still see clearly what was going on inside over the crowded crowd in front.
In addition to the noisy noises, the clearest thing in my ears was the loud mournful music of gongs and drums.
The suona is indeed the king of musical instruments. When the suona comes out, the sound reaches into the sky!
A dark coffin was placed in the innermost circle of the crowd. The lid was open. There was no body inside. There were circles and mourning sticks all around.
Ling Yun stood behind Su Youting, holding Su Youting's shoulder with one hand to stabilize his balance. Shen Liujia stood on the other side of Ling Yun, both looking forward.
The door of the abandoned house is open, and you can see part of the scenery in the front yard inside, which looks desolate and decaying.
There is an offering table directly opposite the main door. Judging from the decoration, it should be the Dharma altar. Next to it is a tent with tables, chairs and benches inside. A mage wearing colorful clothes, a red ribbon on his head and a mask on his face is sitting beside him, enjoying his leisurely tea.
There were two young apprentices carrying big book boxes waiting behind him. Ling Yun muttered, "Shaman? What a grand ceremony!"
Mr. Shen was spreading common sense to them on the side, "This is Master You. It is said that he can convey the will of gods to heaven and earth, communicate with the underworld, catch ghosts and interrogate ghosts, and can command all things for his own use."
Ling Yun couldn't help but compare with herself little by little. It seemed that she could do this too, but she was lazy. Whoever's work should be done, and she didn't want to get involved.
At dusk, the drums for closing the city gate upstairs have sounded three times, and the city gate is about to close. The flow of people here has not decreased but increased, and there are many families and children holding hands to watch the excitement.
Ling Yun could only shake his head at this and saw that there was a mother-in-law holding a two or three-year-old baby next to her. The child had fallen asleep in her mother's arms.
The two of them were holding the baby back and forth, looking very tired, so they kindly said, "Mom, there is no one in the carriage, so the baby won't be able to sleep well. Why don't you carry the baby up and have a rest."
Someone came to help. The old woman was very happy. It was too early. She was really tired holding the child. Her arms were sore, so she was not too polite. With Ling Yun's help, she got into the carriage. , and got into the carriage.
Ling Yun was sitting on the carriage board at the door chatting with the couple inside, "Auntie is doing such evil things. How about holding the child in such a small position to watch the fun, before surprising the child."
The old woman was full of confidence in Master You. She hugged her grandson and Ling Yun and said, "It doesn't matter. With the Master here, all those messy things can be easily caught and no one can be hurt."
"It looks like there are empty coffins and people wearing mourning. I wonder what happened?"
The child's mother asked from the side, "Isn't the young lady from Su Zipo?"
Ling Yun nodded and pursed his lips to one side, "My husband-in-law and I came here to do some business. We just arrived today."
"You are also lucky to meet Master You who is out to catch ghosts. Here, hey...it is said that Miss Su was still wandering around unwillingly. The old servant who looked after the house recently took her young son in to check. , in the end, only the youngest son escaped stupidly, saying that the old man had been left to serve the eldest lady, and most of the people were gone. No, the people wearing mourning over there were the family members of the old servant, and the body is still in the yard. Here, the main reason for inviting Master You is to retrieve my late father’s body so that it can be buried in peace.”
It turned out that this was what happened, Ling Yun let out a long oh, heard the mourning and music over there stopped, and heard the sound of ringing bells, he stood up curiously and looked towards the gate.
All I saw was that Master You, who had been drinking tea leisurely just now, had stood up. His little apprentice followed behind him, shaking a requiem bell rhythmically in his hand, and walking with strange steps under his feet, surrounding the Master. The stage is moving back and forth.
Master You offered sandalwood, and now he was chanting ancient lyrics. He was singing while walking with a wooden sword. His voice was so unclear that others could not understand what he was singing.
As he moved around, the bells hanging on the corners of his clothes also sounded harmoniously along with the requiem bells, which made people drowsy.
Before throwing a lot of money into the air with one hand, white paper money was fluttering in the wind. The scene looked very strange. The crowd around them did not dare to make a sound. The place was as crowded as a can, but it was so quiet. , Ling Yun felt that the picture was strange and extraordinary like never before.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and someone lit two lanterns with white paper and hanging them high on both sides of the shed.
To put it bluntly, this was almost the same as a funeral scene, except that the scene was not in front of his own door, but in front of a dark and miserable desolate house.
Ling Yun looked at it for a while and found it boring. Master You did have some spiritual energy gathered around him, but the amount was really not enough. It was not at all the same as the great mage in his heart. Ling Yun also saw that sometimes there were people around him. Several shadowy figures shuttled back and forth, or whispered.
They are all immortals at the entrance of the hall, and they should have come to report the news.
If the city gate hadn't been closed now and there were three members of the family in the car, she would have wanted to go home directly and regretted taking this trip.
Ling Yun turned her head and was about to sit on the carriage to rest. Suddenly, there was an exclamation from the crowd. She turned around and saw Master You standing on the other side of the altar, with both hands raised and a wooden sword in one hand. Make a fist with one hand.
He reached out and grabbed a handful of something and threw it at the candle flame on the altar table. With a puff, a fire dragon several meters long suddenly sprang up from the darkened scene.
People who were close felt a scalding heat on their heads, and the tips of their hair were scorched and curled.
There was another exclamation, and Master You was finally satisfied with the effect of the scene, with a proud smile on his face.
"The heaven and earth are clear, kill demons and demons! Act now!"
With a loud shout, he turned around and pointed the wooden sword in his hand at the white paper lantern hanging in the corner of the shed.
The candlelight inside began to flicker, and finally dimmed. When everyone thought the candlelight was extinguished, the lantern lit up again.
The lantern on one side reflected the figure of a woman with disheveled hair, while the lantern on the other side reflected the shadow of a child lying on the ground.
The candlelight also turned strangely green, causing the surrounding atmosphere to suddenly become weird and terrifying. Almost everyone started to gasp after seeing it!
