When Xing Zibai woke up early in the morning, he heard that the students in the next room did not go to class.
The master led them to the side room to search, and saw the student lying on the ground, Wu Qing had not slept all night. When the master and others entered the side room, the student had not responded yet.
When Xing Zibai heard that it was the student in the next room, he took a curious look and happened to make eye contact with the student.
Then, as if he saw something scary, he pointed at him and shouted, "There is a ghost."
Xing Zibai looked back.
Everyone thought the "ghost" the student was talking about was him, but he knew it was Pei Lin behind him.
When the master asked him to pack his luggage and return home with him, Xing Zibai came to Pei Lin and asked, "Can you leave the academy for a while?"
Pei Lin didn't ask why, and Xing Zibai didn't say why it was like this.
When Xing Zibai's carriage left the academy, Pei Lin also returned to the place where he fell down the mountain.
After sending away Debao, Yan Yu found Xing Zibai.
Half of the pastries on the table were left, and it seemed that there were other people in the room before he came.
"Auntie, Priest Qingyu." Xing Zibai whispered.
Xing Zibai is not a child who hesitates when speaking. The status of the Xing government does not require him to be so cautious.
"It's very dangerous for a person's soul to remain in the world after death." Yan Yan said.
Since Xing Zibai asked Pei Lin to hide, he was protecting the student. Yan Yan would not say such words as "what ghosts say are all lies".
"why?"
Seeing Xing Zibai's worried look, Yan Yan knew that she was right at the beginning.
She explained, "Not only is Pei Lin's soul here, there are also other ghosts. Those ghosts are more powerful than Pei Lin and will devour Pei Lin's soul."
"Then how to save Pei Lin?" Xing Zibai asked anxiously.
"You can only enter the underworld, and a person will enter the underworld after death. The longer he stays in the earth, the more punishment he will receive when he goes to the underworld." Yan Yan explained carefully.
Xing Zibai nodded silently.
"Then where is Pei Lin now?"
Xing Zibai was stunned for a moment and shook his head, "I don't know, I just told him to leave the academy, and then he was really not in the academy when we came back together."
Yan Yan: "..." Okay, since she and Qingyu are here anyway, it doesn't matter if they stay a little longer to find a ghost.
The next day, Qingyu went to teach, and Yan Yan brought Debao over and accompanied her to find the place where Pei Lin fell down the mountain.
There is a pavilion on the back hill of Chongming Academy.
One side of the pavilion is connected to Chongming Academy, and the other side is to the foot of the mountain.
"Pei Lin's house is at the foot of the mountain. It's much faster to walk here. He always goes down the mountain from the pavilion to go home. The student who fell down the mountain with Pei Lin went to the back mountain to pick herbs.
It was obviously a sunny day, but the sun was shining but it started to rain.
Neither of them expected that the back mountain was filled with dirt roads, and it was especially slippery when it rained, so they had an accident.
After two students, Pei Lin, slipped and fell down the mountain, the trail at the back of the mountain was sealed.
When Yan Yan came over, there was a huge stone blocking the path.
She stood on tiptoe and looked around, then put her hands on the stone and jumped over.
"Master!" Debao lay on the stone and shouted with all his strength.
"It's okay, just stay there for now."
Yan Yan walked from the path to the village at the foot of the mountain.
There is only one village here, and it seems that this is the village of the Pei Lin family.
When Yan Yan entered the village, the surrounding villagers looked at her, and then they all went home. By the time she walked from the beginning of the village to the end, all the villagers in the village had already gone home.
At this time, she was the only one left in the village.
Yan Yan was puzzled by this.
Is this village very taboo for outsiders to come?
In the past, when she went to villages where outsiders were tabooed, the villagers would drive her away, but no one in this village drove her away.
This is also what confused her.
And there was another place in this village that she cared about very much.
The corpse aura in this village is heavier than in other places.
There are dead people everywhere, and there are dead people everywhere. It is normal to have a slight corpse aura, but the corpse aura in this village is stronger.
However, the corpse energy here was not half as heavy as that in Heishui County, so she didn't pay too much attention.
I went to the village cemetery and took a look.
Three people died here in half a year, no wonder the corpse aura is heavier than in an ordinary village.
Yan Yan flipped through the yin and yang books of these three people, and found an old man who died of old age, a baby who died in infancy, and a girl who had been seriously ill all year round.
There was no mystery about the cause of death.
When Yan Yan was about to take back the book of Yin and Yang, he noticed a line on it, saying that something strange happened while he was seducing the soul.
Everything that happened during the seduction was recorded in the Yuhunlu, so Yan Yan had no choice but to open the Yuhunlu again.
It is only said that when a baby who died young was seducing a seriously ill girl, there were times when it was impossible to pull the soul out of the body, but in the end the soul was seduced, and the underworld did not thoroughly investigate this matter.
Yan Yan thought for a moment and saw that it was still early, so he took out the Yin Yang Book and Yu Hun Lu and compared them one by one.
People who died in this village all had souls that could not be drawn out, and this strangeness only appeared after Pei Lin died.
But over the years, Pei Lin was the only one whose soul had not been taken into the underworld, so the underworld ignored the strange things in the village.
Yan Yu put away the Yin Yang Book and Yu Hun Lu and walked around the cemetery.
None of the corpses buried in the cemetery were abnormal.
After Yan Yan walked around, he looked around at the graves in the field.
She should have checked every grave to make sure nothing was missed.
Thinking like this, Yan Yan checked the cemetery again.
Standing next to the cemetery this time, Yan Yan was very sure.
