C9 Ghost Shadow of Wasteland Grave

I heaved a sigh of relief, but immediately tensed up again. It was really just as San Ye said, we found the thing left behind by aunt, could it be that it was because of this box that Aunt's soul stayed at home?

"Mom, what's all this?"

My mother was the closest, and it was dark inside, and she came out with the suitcase in her arms, and the lights came on, the handkerchief, rouge, and green silk scarves, and underneath them some yellowed envelopes.

"Alright, stop looking. Go call your Lord Third over."

"Oh."

The more I thought about it, the weirder it became. If the soul of my aunt was always at home, why did it take so many years for her to appear?

There must be a reason.

"Lord Third, Lord Third!"

Before reaching the door, I shouted loudly. From afar, I saw San Ye sitting under the window, forcefully smoking a pipe.

"Did you find it?"

"I found it. Mom said to let you take a look."

"No need, I'll be fine after I go to the cemetery tonight. My family won't harm you two."

"Oh."

San Ye lowered his head to continue smoking. Smoke permeated the air, and the pungent smoke seeped into my throat. I coughed loudly.

San Ye didn't want to go, but since his father wasn't home, he felt a little apprehensive.

"Why aren't you going back?"

San Ye looked at me and I stood there, coughing. San Ye held the pipe in his hand, and the smoke was blown away by the wind.

Wind!

I suddenly thought of something, and when we found the black box, a gust of wind blew in, and the dust on it blew high.

How could there be wind in the house!

The doors and windows were closed, and for a moment my attention was focused on the top of the box, unaware of it. I turned and ran, and there was only my mother.

I rushed in through the door and approached it. I kept gasping for breath, my hand on top of the door. I could hear the faint sounds of women singing in the house.

It was still the same mournful tone I heard last night. Was it Auntie? She appeared again. It was clearly daytime!

I gritted my teeth and forced the door open, and for a moment I was stunned. Ma was holding a handkerchief and a silk scarf, and she was rubbing the red rouge from her face. She was leaning forward, and her red lips were parted.

"The Intestine Breaker is in the heavens."

"Mom, wake up, don't scare me."

I panicked. I had never seen my mother like this before. The wooden box was open, and everything inside was in my mother's hands. My mother looked at me with a completely different expression.

"Xiao Lin, I'm your aunt. Do you still remember me?"

The voice came out of my mother's mouth, and I let out a scream of fright. I quickly backed away and touched the door behind me, pressing my hands together, and the scene was almost identical to what I had experienced before.

The door wouldn't budge, and I pushed again, but it wouldn't budge.

"Aunt, we are family, don't harm my mother."

"No, why would I harm her? I'm just borrowing her body."

It was the upper body of the ghost!

I read about ghosts in forums and thought they were made up, but I didn't really believe it until I saw it with my own eyes.

"Aunt, why aren't you leaving?"

The nanny sighed and slowly turned around to walk towards the black box. She picked up a letter from inside and slowly opened it. At that moment, her eyes were filled with tears.

"Women can't let go of love."

The yellow envelope was pressed to her face, as if to the cheek of a lover, when the door behind me made a sudden noise.

Creak * The door at the back actually opened.

The door opened and a ray of light immediately rushed in.

"Lord Third."

The door opened, and San Ye came in with a broken object in his hand. It looked like a disk with a pointer on it.

"Sister Yulan, it's time to put it down."

He walked directly to the box and shook his head. At this time, his aunt's voice came from inside, "Third Brother, you're here."

San Ye nodded. "Third Brother knows you're suffering. If it weren't for the relationship between brother and sister, how could you stay here? It's all over now, Yu Liang is dead as well. It's time to let it go."

"Yu Liang, how did he die?"

"Sick death!"

"Impossible, this is impossible! His body is so good, how could he die from illness?"

San Ye sighed. "In fact, Yu Liang didn't live well for so many years, and he had to leave you that year. Afterwards, he found out that you had committed suicide, that you had a serious illness, that your marriage had ended, and that you had been treated like that by yourself. Last year, you had an illness, and died."

"Yu Liang, Yu Liang …"

"Third Brother, I'm going to see Yu Liang, I must go see him. However, I've been in the mortal realm for so long, and the Underworld no longer accepts me. Please help me."

"Tonight at 12 o'clock, close the gates of hell and I will find a way to send you in. Whether or not I can see Yu Liang depends on your fate."

"Alright."

"Let's head out first."

The darkness fell into silence and I stood at the back, not daring to move until I heard my mother say, "Third Uncle, you're here!"

"Mom!"

I rushed over and threw myself into Ma's arms, tears streaming down my face.

"What's going on?"

My mother froze, looking at the handkerchief and the silk scarf in her hand. She would have been even more surprised if she had seen the rouge on her face and her red lips.

"Yulan, don't be afraid. She won't harm you."

"Ah! Little Aunt, where is she?"

San Ye sighed. "You can see her tonight, but it's better if you don't. There's a difference between Yin and Yang. If you see more of her, you will lose your lifespan."

I waited until it was dark, and after dinner, when I barely had a breath to eat, I told my mother, who was standing in the doorway, looking out.

Mom was actually waiting for Dad to come back from the mountains. It was already the third day.

At ten in the evening, Lord Third came over. His mother took the flashlight and wrapped the black box with a piece of cloth. She bought the paper money in advance. These were for the ghost servants in the Underworld.

We followed San Ye all the way to the back of the mountain. The cold wind kept blowing into my clothes. I tightly held onto Ma's arm as we walked up the mountain. After walking along a small path, we stopped in front of a forest.

"Second brother's wife. Do you still remember Yulan's grave?"

"I remember."

Ma walks to the left, one grave after the other, and then there is an open space, and next to the open space is a lonely grave, because Auntie has never been married, and according to the rules here, women cannot be buried with their ancestors, and those who die without marrying or without giving birth to a boy can only find a place to bury them.

"Third Uncle, this is the place."

"Alright, let's burn some paper. Remember to throw some aside."

The paper money was quickly lit and set on fire. I threw in handfuls of paper money and was quickly engulfed by the flames. I watched as Ma picked up a stack and scattered it all around her.

"Lord Third, why did you throw it out?"

"It's for those lonely ghosts. It's the same as being a human. If you have something good, remember to give it to others. You can't just think about yourself."

"Oh."

When I heard the words, I was suddenly frightened, but I couldn't help but look around the grave. Only the faint glow of paper money and the frightening darkness made me feel as if something were watching us in the dark.

Maybe it's just a psychological effect, luckily there's San Ye here, otherwise Mom and I wouldn't dare to come to this kind of place.

A big bag of paper money was quickly finished. Lord Third read for a while and said some nice words, as if he was communicating with a ghost servant of the Underworld.

"Yulan, come out."

Master San's voice shook in the darkness, and I saw my aunt. When I got closer, I couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Her face was almost exactly the same as mine, except that there were traces of age on it, traces of the loss of love.

"Third brother."

My mother stood up and instinctively took a step back. Seeing my aunt appear, I thought my mother would be scared, but she didn't. She called out, "Auntie."

"Yuzhi, thank you for all these years."

"I'm fine."

Mom was laughing, and the smile on the corner of her mouth shocked me. Did my mother already know that my aunt's soul hadn't dispersed, or did she already know that my aunt had been in her body?

So when I told her what had happened that night, my mother just nodded.

"Aunt …" "Auntie!"

Aunt looked at me. I was obviously stuttering because of my nervousness.

"Xiao Lin, live well. Lord Third is not lying to you."

"Yulan, time to go."

"Alright."

Master San interrupted his aunt, and the darkness in front of us shook. She waved at us and quickly disappeared into the darkness.

Is this the end?

I was stunned. In the end, what did my aunt want to say? She said that San Ye didn't lie to me.

Why did San Ye interrupt her? Did he not want his aunt to say it, or was it really time for him to enter the Underworld?

I looked at the time on my watch. It had only been a minute since midnight.

"Go back."

San Ye turned around and saw that the fire was extinguished at the same time. His mother didn't turn on the flashlight; this was the cemetery at the back of the mountain.

"Let's go."

Ma pulled me and quickly followed, walking down from the cemetery at the back of the mountain. I could vaguely hear a strange sound coming from behind us. It was very strange, as if someone was forcefully digging at the sand on the ground.

I couldn't help but want to look back, but just as I was about to look back, a hand grabbed my head.

"Ah …"

"Don't look back!" I shouted when fear struck me. I heard San Ye's voice saying.

It was San Ye's hand that grabbed my head. Due to my fear, my neck became extremely stiff. I slowly turned around and quickly returned to the village.

I was scared to the point that I didn't dare to say anything. I didn't dare to ask San Ye why I couldn't look behind us. Could it be that something scary was following us from behind?!

After Aunt left, this matter was finally resolved. The fox demon is injured, so it should be killed by the mayor along with others. I thought that my life was on the right track, that's not the case at all.

All of this had just begun.
