In the evening, Xie Lingya packed up his things and went to the house of Liu Yunyun and her husband.
Huang Bin felt much better during the day, but when night fell, he was so scared that he said in the car: “I think if I look at that thing again, I will have a heart attack.”
The experience last night made him have a mental breakdown. He and Liu Yunyun got married after Liu Yunyun’s grandfather had passed away, so he was not nurtured at all.
When Xie Lingya saw that Huang Bin was like this, he was afraid that he wouldn’t be able to bear the stimulation again, so he simply said: “In that case, you two go to the other apartment, and I will lure the ghost out myself.”
Xie Lingya thought that he could use the golden human form.
The golden human form was a technique to ward off disasters. It involved using gold foil to make a human form, write a spell on it, and replace the person. Xie Lingya made a little change and put the golden man representing Huang Bin on his body, so that the wife ghost would have the illusion that he was Huang Bin.
“Separate from you?” Huang Bin didn’t dare anymore.
“It’s okay. If you and your wife are together, there is no opportunity for it to take advantage.” Xie Lingya explained that this was not the kind of evil spirit who could withstand a strong front, otherwise why would he specifically look for couples who have a problem with each other.
Huang Bin felt relieved now and wished he could hold his wife in his arms without letting go.
Liu Yunyun opened the door to Xie Lingya, and the two of them left. In fact, their other apartment was in a community a few minutes’ drive away.
Xie Lingya wandered around the house of Liu Yunyun and her husband for a while, watching TV and playing with his mobile phone. During this period, Huang Bin kept sending text messages asking if the ghost had been caught.
Xie Lingya said: “If you ask me again, I will evacuate your house.” When Huang Bin sent the message, the ghosts were scared away.
Huang Bin: “…”
At midnight, Xie Lingya lay on the bed without taking off his clothes, closing his eyes and falling asleep.
About half an hour later, Xie Lingya heard movement from the living room, and then the sound of footsteps, as if someone wearing slippers had walked into the bedroom and stood at the bedside in the dark and looked at Xie Lingya.
Xie Lingya thought to himself, why was he still looking? It shouldn’t be able to recognize him. Every step of his golden figure was done according to the instructions in the notes. Oh, maybe he was scared last night, and this ghost was also a little worried.
The wife ghost looked at him for a while, as if to confirm that nothing was wrong, then walked around to the other side and got into bed.
Usually after a while, “Huang Bin” would fall asleep, and the wife ghost would crawl over to suck his essence. Today, the wife ghost felt that “Huang Bin” was silent and must be asleep, so she slowly started to stir up, turned over on top of “Huang Bin”, and put her face down –
Once the cold breath hit his cheeks, he knew it was time.
Xie Lingya suddenly opened his eyes, took out his hand from the quilt, and formed the Lingguan Jue, “Go to hell!”
His middle finger hit the wife ghost’s forehead, and the wife ghost fell back three meters and against the wall, feeling burning pain between her eyebrows!
Xie Lingya took a closer look and saw that the wife ghost was short, fat and round, a bit like a toilet ghost, but her whole body was black. This was because it had not absorbed enough essence. If it had gone on for a long time, it would have become more and more like Liu Yunyun.
Xie Lingya took out a piece of talisman and said, “The gods bow their heads and the evil spirits return to their rightful ways!”
The wife ghost who wanted to jump out of the window to escape was restrained by Fu Zhen, and she fell down on the street with a low voice: “You are not Huang Bin…”
Xie Lingya pulled the golden man off, “Of course I am not Huang Bin, but you don’t sound like a wife ghost. Why does your voice sound like a man?”
Wife ghost: “…”
Later, Xie Lingya found out that a couple ghost was not necessarily a man and a woman. They just teamed up to mess with a husband and wife. There may also be two male ghosts, anyway, it could change shape in the end, so it didn’t matter if there was a sex change.
Seeing that the wife ghost didn’t answer, Xie Lingya continued to ask: “You have another accomplice, where is it?”
Unexpectedly, this ghost was not strong, but very loyal. Xie Lingya didn’t even try to scare him.
Xie Lingya first called Liu Yunyun and said that he would go over to their place and see if he could use the wife ghost to lure the husband ghost out, otherwise he would always be a threat to Liu Yunyun.
Then, Xie Lingya’s heart moved, and he called a strongman from the City God temple to lock up the wife ghost, and they went to Liu Yunyun’s residence together.
….
There were no public buses in the middle of the night. Fortunately, it wasn’t too far away. Xie Lingya took a taxi to the other apartment in Liu Yunyun’s house. Liu Yunyun and Huang Bin were already waiting at the gate of the community.
“Have you caught it yet?” Huang Bin looked around.
“If you can’t see it, it has been locked up.” Xie Lingya said, he had already drawn the eyes of the spiritual official for himself. It turned out that Huang Bin could see it before because the wife ghost manifested himself to harm others.
Liu Yunyun gathered her coat and said, “What should I do now? Do you think there might be a ghost following me?”
Huang Bin quickly held his wife’s hand again.
Xie Lingya was about to speak when he saw a group of soldiers and horses walking across the community road. They were dressed in ancient military uniforms and lined up neatly.
Liu Yunyun saw Xie Lingya being stunned, “What’s wrong?”
They both looked back, but there was nothing behind them. There was no one in the community at night, and the street lights were on, but they suddenly felt chilled.
“Are these the ghosts of those who died in ancient battles?” Xie Lingya asked the strongman who had been summoned, “Do you need to take care of it?”
The strongman looked around and said, “Teacher Xie, these are soldiers and horses worshiped by others. I can’t control them.”
At this time, the team of soldiers and horses had come here in an orderly manner. When they came here, the leader held his fists and saluted the strongman, and said hello to Xie Lingya, “Master.”
This was what Xie Lingya did. This could work.
Xie Lingya also returned the greeting, “I wonder which mage is worshiping you at the altar?”
The captain replied: “We are subordinates of Master Zhu Chengmei of Lushan Sect.”
Xie Lingya was excited, glanced at Liu Yunyun, and said suspiciously: “Master Zhu Chengmei has passed away, you should return to your respective places.”
The Lushan Sect also had the habit of raising Yin soldiers, and they had many rituals. They could recruit soldiers and horses from all walks of life, which was called “Three Realms and Five Battalions of Soldiers and Horses”. But according to Liu Yunyun, Zhu Chengmei had no heirs, the soldiers and horses he supported should be disbanded on the spot and return to their respective families.
Feeding the soldiers and horses required food and grass. Master Lushan also had to reward the three armies every Chinese New Year. He even gave the soldiers and horses a holiday and took the New Year’s military expenses to play on his own.
When Liu Yunyun heard Xie Lingya mention her grandfather’s name, she asked doubtfully, “What’s wrong? What is it?”
Huang Bin’s arms trembled, and he didn’t dare to open his eyes while holding Liu Yunyun.
“Wait a minute.” Xie Lingya said, he wanted to hear the explanation from these underworld soldiers.
“The master’s last order before his death was to ask us to guard Liu Yunyun in the name of his incense ten years after his death.” The captain explained, “So when the master is away, we still train and patrol as usual. Now during the Chinese New Year and the holidays, we usually have more patrols in turns.”
He said and whispered: “There are so many of us, the incense of the Master is not enough, but he led us to do a lot of merit during his lifetime, so us brothers all stayed voluntarily.”
Although the Master gave an order before his death, but if the soldiers and horses did not have enough, there was no need to abide by the oath. Even the Master himself would have fled if the supply of soldiers and horses was not enough.
At this time, he took a closer look, and sure enough, the clothes of these Yin soldiers were old and not glamorous. They were obviously not well fed. He was afraid they had to find some food to supplement themselves.
After hearing this, Xie Lingya was stunned for a while, and then came back to his senses: “So, have you ever seen a ghost like this?”
He pointed at the wife ghost and asked.
The wife ghost was already trembling. He thought that his mission was almost successful, and he was very loyal and refused to expose it. Now it seemed…
Sure enough, the captain looked at it and said calmly: “Caught one, us brothers tore it up.”
“Tooth-beating Sacrifice.”
The Lushan sect incorporated a lot of witchcraft, which was originally popular among the people, so some of the Lushan methods were very fierce.
The ghosts’ words made the wife ghost almost whimper in fear.
Xie Lingya couldn’t help but laugh. It seemed that Liu Yunyun didn’t encounter dirty things, not because there was someone on duty to accompany her, but because there were many soldiers and horses guarding her.
Zhu Chengmei also cared for the younger generation and was willing to share his incense with these Yin soldiers. The Yin soldiers were also grateful for his merits during his lifetime and obeyed his orders despite being hungry.
Xie Lingya relayed it to Liu Yunyun, who burst into tears after hearing it halfway.
“In the past, every time my grandpa built an altar and made offerings, I was afraid and avoided them, and I was unwilling to let my classmates come to play at home, because grandpa kept a lot of magical objects at home.” Liu Yunyun first sobbed, and then squatted on the ground and howled loudly. Her grandpa had been dead for six or seven years, and the grief suddenly surged into her heart.
Recalling the past, and then thinking that her grandfather had been starving down there for six or seven years, Liu Yunyun couldn’t hold back her screams.
She wanted to think about why grandpa didn’t tell her so that she could burn more offerings, but thinking about her family’s rejection of these things, grandpa must have known that they would be unwilling…
The Yin soldiers stood aside and said at a loss: “Then we will continue patrolling. Right? By the way, Master, can you tell her to burn more things for Master Zhu? I have no other intention. We should just take the offerings and burn more for Master Zhu.”
Xie Lingya then relayed the story to Liu Yunyun, who immediately dragged Huang Bin to his feet and said with tears in her eyes, “I’m going now!”
Xie Lingya accompanied Liu Yunyun and set up an offering altar in the middle of the night. There were even gold ingots burning. If for no stores being open in the middle of the night, Liu Yunyun would have even wanted to go to the store to do some shopping.
As for the wife ghost, he was taken away by the strongman. The troops and horses Zhu Chengmei left to Liu Yunyun needed a lot of military expenses. Although they said they would not use them before, it was impossible for Liu Yunyun to stop burning things for them.
Huang Bin was so frightened that his legs became weak, but later he got better and burned paper money with Liu Yunyun. What else did he have to be afraid of? He didn’t know how safe it was to be with his wife.
At three o’clock in the night, Xie Lingya said goodbye to Liu Yunyun and went back to Baoyang Temple.
Before leaving, Liu Yunyun said with red eyes: “Teacher Xie, thank you. I knew it was too late, but if it weren’t for you, maybe I would always miss it and never know how good my grandpa was to me.”
Xie Lingya smiled at her and comforted her: “As long as you know, it’s not too late. You are welcome to come to Baoyang Temple to perform rituals. For the sake of Mr. Zhu, I will give you a 20% discount…”
Liu Yunyun burst into laughter for a moment, and then said with tears in his smile: “I can do it, but I don’t know if my grandpa will have any sectarian views.”
He was the successor of the Lushan sect, and he had no disciples, which was also a helplessness in the context of the times, but was it appropriate to go to Lingguan Temple to perform rituals?
Xie Lingya joked: “I can also learn the rituals of Lushan right now.”
