C54

There was no other way! I'm an assistant to someone right now,

She went to help Sister Mo up from the ground. After half a day, she still wasn't able to help her up. In the end, Zhong Min came over to help her up. Only then did the two of us manage to help her up.

"Sister Mo's death is like a lamp being extinguished, you can grieve for her. Besides, your son is still so young, he still has a long road ahead of him, and he still needs you to accompany him. Even if you don't want to think for yourself, you should think for him."

The moment I said that, Sister Mo's tears fell like rain.

Sister Mo still refused to let go, so I whispered to her, "Sister Mo, you should know that I'm also a Yin Master. This corpse is really not for fun, and there might be a life. If you stay here tonight, what will happen then?"

Sister Mo lifted her swollen eyes and looked at me doubtfully. "Are you speaking the truth?"

"Why would I lie to you at a time like this?" If you lie down and don't know whose soul it is, then it will be too late for you to cry if it harms anyone. We should just listen to the Mage and go back for the night.

I tried to coax her, but Sister Mo was still hesitating. Liu Han had been listening to my words from the side the entire time, and upon seeing that Sister Mo was still unwilling, he came over to persuade her.

"Mom, why don't we listen to the mage. Daddy is already dead, he won't be able to come back." A resolute look appeared in Liu Han's eyes. From now on, he was the pillar of support in their family.

Sister Mo saw how sensible Liu Han was and how his eyes were like beads with a broken string. She hugged Liu Han and said to me, "Then I'll leave it to you!"

"Sister Mo, you guys should go rest first!" I helped Sister Mo to walk them to the door.

It wasn't dark yet, and there were still people eating outside. The temporary soil stove in the shed was set ablaze.

I took a glance and was pulled back by Zhong Min. She closed the door with a "pa" sound.

"What are you doing?" I looked at the closed door. I didn't know why, but I still felt uneasy.

"What do you mean by 'don't let the Yin Qi from the outside in'?!" Zhong Min answered innocently.

"What are you two muttering about? Hurry up and help! " Why did it have to be like this? The other side had already begun working.

He Yi soaked the white hemp rope in red dog blood and mixed it with cinnabar as he muttered, "These people really know how to be lazy. They even let me dip my own hemp rope in dog blood."

Zhong Min and I looked at the few fish that were still alive and kicking, not knowing what to do.

He glanced at me sideways and angrily took out a stack of paper talismans from his chest pocket. "Stick it on the door and the window."

Why was he so arrogant!

Zhong Min stuck her tongue out at him, took the paper charm, and stuck it on him.

Suddenly, a sharp voice came from the coffin.

He Ziyi's expression changed drastically as he handed the hemp rope that was stained with dog blood and cinnabar to me. "Come with me!"

I took the hemp rope stained with dog blood and followed He Yi to the coffin. The lid of the coffin had already been removed, and it was still trembling as if the person inside was about to come out.

"Hurry up and tie up the blood on the coffin with hemp rope." He Yi and I stood at the far end of the coffin and took up the hemp rope and began tying it to the coffin. The long red string was stretched straight on the coffin.

Seeing that the crack was unable to be stretched, a few pale fingers could still be seen on the black crack.

"What do you mean by 'no tension here'!?" I pointed to the hand sticking out.

He Yi thought for a moment. "Tighten his hands!"

I pulled on the twine and drew a red line across the pale fingers.

The sound of the coffin creaking seemed to have disappeared as everything returned to how it was before.

However, He Wenyi was still busy with his task. He even tied a line around the coffin. After some work, he was finally done.

I looked at the taut string around the coffin and asked, "Aren't you a zombie?" "Why did you use it here?"

He Yi put away the hemp rope carefully, "What do you know? "Although the Taoists and your Yin Yang family share a lot of similarities, they also have their differences."

I sneered, "Don't think that I don't understand your Taoist mantras. These are used to trap zombies."

After exposing his true intentions, he rolled his eyes at me, "You know so much!"

Zhong Min also returned from outside and passed the remaining yellow talisman to He Shuyi. "There's really no one outside now. We'll follow your instructions and go back to sleep!"

"Is the fire at the door still burning?" Why did he ask?

"It's burned. Uncle Li even added more firewood when he left." Zhong Min sat on the stairs at the foot of the wall.

I sat next to her. "It's not a good night!"

He Shuyi packed up his things and sat down beside him. He took out his peach wood sword and began to carefully polish it.

Occasionally, a cold wind blew in the mourning hall, causing the red and green stickers on the walls to sway wildly. What I was afraid of were the two boys and girls sitting on the sides of the mourning hall, and I kept having the feeling that they were looking at me again.

Seeing me turn my head frequently, He Wenyi also turned his head, "What are you looking at?"

"I keep feeling that something is wrong. Did we miss something?" I frowned at the strange children.

He Shuyi rolled his eyes at me, "Don't worry about me!"

Zhong Min also agreed, "Why? I feel a bit gloomy now."

He Yi frowned and thought for a while after bringing up the two of us. "Hold the torch in your hands, and we'll wait and see."

With the peach wood sword in his hand, He Wenyi was getting impatient.

Just as He Wenyi finished his sentence, the sound of something breaking came from inside the mourning hall.

My first thought was that the coffin was broken.

"What's going on?" He Zhiyi held the peach wood sword and was the first to rush over to take a look. He saw the coffin untouched on the two stools, but there was nothing out of the ordinary in the room.

I pushed past He Yi and slowly approached the coffin. The hand I had placed on the edge of the coffin was gone. I looked down through the crack. It was empty and still glowed.

"What do you mean? He's gone!"

"Ah!" Zhong Min screamed. Her finger trembled as she pointed at the door.

Outside the door was a small yard, and a middle-aged man with a stiff body was standing straight in the middle. This was Sister Mo's husband, Liu Yong. He was nicknamed Old Second Liu.

He stayed in the yard for half a minute, as if he had gone mad. He rushed to the fish on the wall, grabbed one and took a big bite. The fishy smell instantly spread to the whole yard.

Looking at the people in the yard, He Chengyi also came over to take a look at the coffin, patting his head and saying in a vexed manner, "Just now, I forgot the taut string at the bottom of the coffin."

I also came to a realization. No wonder I felt that something was wrong just now. The bottom of the coffin had forgotten to tighten the cord.

A few fresh fish were stuffed into his mouth in a few bites. His ash-white skin was devoid of any luster, and his entire body was stiff like a wooden stick. However, his hands were very agile.

He Chengyi stood at the door and said calmly, "We can't move the two of you. I'll go collect it."

"I know, you be careful!" I held onto Zhong Min's hand in the mourning hall, but I could feel the chilly wind blowing inside the mourning hall. I was even more afraid that the two boys and girls behind me could come back to life at any moment with their pitch-black eyes and faint smiles.

Zhong Min tugged at my hand. "Fei Fei, do you think those two little people can move?"

I looked back. They did seem to have shifted a little. Could there be other ghosts here?

I lowered my voice and asked Zhong Min, "What happened just now? Do you still have the talisman paper I gave you?"

Zhong Min shook her head. "No."

What should he do?

I suddenly recalled that ever since I met the Ghost Infant, I would always place a few talisman papers on my body to protect myself.

I fished in my jacket pocket for a long time before taking out the remaining few paper charms from before. I took out two of them and carefully approached the two little paper men. When I got close, their eyes became brighter.

"Zi" Suddenly, he reached out and stuck the talisman onto the two little guys. The little guy let out two weird shrieks and directly died. He rushed out, and before he could even reach the entrance of the courtyard, he turned into a pile of paper fragments.

Zhong Min was so frightened that she sat on the ground, not daring to say another word.

He Yi shouted from the side of the yard, "What's going on?"

I just found a ghost in this mourning hall. I reckon all of them want to return the dead body to their souls after seeing Liu Eternal's death.

I wasn't sure if there were any other ghosts in the mourning hall, but Zhong Min and I didn't dare to stay here any longer. I pulled Zhong Min along with me and ran into the courtyard. He Yi was holding his peach wood sword and mumbling to himself.

Looking at the talisman stuck on Liu Eternal, I reminded him, "There isn't just one person's soul in this mourning hall, there are other ghosts."

He Yi recited an incantation for a long time, but the corpse didn't look like it was going to fall at all. Instead, his eyes gradually lit up, and even his stiff face had a strange expression.

Its eyes were unmoving as it looked at He Yi. He Yi was also forcefully chanting an incantation.

When I saw that something was wrong, I shouted, "Who is this? He wants to run!"

He Shuyi's figure flashed and blocked the door in an attempt to block its path.

"Meow!" A cat's meow sounded out from the corpse. Immediately, a few white horses, which were tied together with paper, rushed out of the house and pounced towards He Yi.

"Oh my god, what is this thing!" Seeing what was coming at him, He Wenyi hastily brandished the peach wood sword in his hand.

"Old Lord Taishang is in a hurry, hurry up and leave!" I hastily chanted an exorcism spell, and a few green lights floated out from the carts. It was a remnant soul.

"Destroy!" He Shiyi pointed with his peach wood sword and the green light instantly disappeared.

After exterminating the white horse, the corpse was also gone. The door with yellow talismans pasted on it was also opened, and the bonfire outside was in a mess.

He Wenyi wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve and looked at me in shock. "I didn't expect that you would be so powerful. If I knew earlier, I would have …"

He didn't finish his sentence, but I heard most of it and deliberately asked, "If you knew it would be like this, what would you have said?"

He Zuyi grinned, "Nothing!"

Seeing that He Chengyi and I were still joking around, Zhong Min ran over and cried out, "You scared me to death!"

He Wenyi raised his eyebrows out of habit, "I told you before I came. It was very scary. You insisted on coming. You can't blame me for that."
