He swallowed hard and stared at me with his eyes, as if he was afraid of the underworld.
"Do you really want to know?"
I hope that through this rhetorical question, I can indirectly let him know who is the real underworld villain.
"You..." His tone was trembling, and then he asked: "Could it be..."
Come to think of it, he had already guessed seven to eight points, and the last two or three points were just waiting for me to nod.
"Are you afraid?"
I asked about the doubts in my mind, and I thought that according to common sense, as a Taoist priest, the relationship with the underworld is more or less, but it really shouldn't be talked about in a superficial way!
but,
The look on his face was consistent with his expression during the conversation, which made me have to guess what happened.
"No... no way!" He kept shaking his head in denial and said to himself: "It's nothing."
"Knowing this, let's go back to the choice just now. Choose one of the two, which one should you choose?"
No matter which one of these two options he chooses, it doesn't matter to me. At most, it is a matter of reputational damage.
Of course, compared to life, it is still acceptable.
"Let me think about it..." He waved his hand, walked into the balcony, and left the words: "I want to think about it carefully!"
Seeing this, I shook my head helplessly. Thinking about it, he must be struggling to choose between the two.
If he chooses to retreat, then, as a Taoist priest, he must be unqualified. Secondly, if he chooses to continue to follow up, then, facing the evil forces of the underworld and the nightmare of ordinary people, if he wants to fight, let alone rely on his own strength.
Even if ten more of them come, I'm afraid they won't be a match.
Compared to his struggle, I felt more relieved. It was nothing more than reputation and life, and anyone would choose the latter.
After it was completely dark, the man from the Hao family went upstairs to the room and asked if there was a better way to complete the matter.
I glanced at Lei Yinsen, who had been on the balcony for nearly an hour, and then said with a smile: "We still need to think about this matter more carefully." After saying this, I saw his expression changed slightly, and I continued:
"You also know that if things like ghosts really exist, you may lose your life. Between money and life, everyone needs to think carefully about whether it is worth it.
It’s worth the risk!”
"Xiao Chen."
From the balcony, Lei Yinsen walked in and asked, "Why doesn't she let you intervene?"
In front of outsiders, he did not identify "her", it was a tacit understanding between the two!
"I don't know." I shook my head and said, "She has a bad temper. Who knows what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd."
I couldn't help but sigh secretly, saying that she had a bad temper was already a compliment. If someone who didn't know her identity saw him treating me like this, they would probably think that they owed her millions of dollars.
"If that's the case..." Lei Yinsen thought thoughtfully, and after a moment, he said to the man: "Tell me your grandfather's birthday."
The man was slightly startled, and then spoke out without reservation.
"In the next few days, no matter what noise you hear at night, you cannot open the door. Can you do that?"
I saw Lei Yinsen pinching his fingers and closing his eyes for a while, then he looked quite serious and asked a righteous question.
"I'll try my best!"
The man nodded, of course, although I don’t know why he said try his best instead of being sure. I didn’t make any guesses about this. As long as he said this, I could rest assured.
Of course, the question also arises, what does Lei Yinsen know that would make him do such a thing?
Before leaving, the man said that the late-night snack would be delivered in a while, and then he closed the door and walked out without further delay.
Thinking about it, he must have fulfilled the instructions given to him.
"Know what?"
I asked subconsciously.
He took a few steps back, then sat cross-legged on the bed, saying that the old man of the Hao family did not do any evil things during his lifetime. It stands to reason that after death, the soul will be reincarnated in the underworld.
"so what?"
After he finished speaking, I asked again.
"So, if what he said is true, it seems that the cause of the old man's death is inseparable from man-made causes."
I was slightly startled and quite confused.
He smiled and said: "Although you have stepped into the underworld, it is normal for you not to understand what I said."
Then, he explained that once a person dies, he will stay in the underworld until the seventh day. After the night of the first seven days, the underworld will be determined by the underworld.
Determined to stay or go.
However, according to the man, he could hear the voice of the deceased every night for nearly five days after his death, which means that the soul of the old man of the Hao family has never been to the underworld.
As a result, the problem arises. Apart from being filled with resentment, he can't think of any reason to explain why the soul of the old man of the Hao family is still lingering in the earth.
"You're saying that he might have been killed by someone, and he stayed in the world to punish the murderer?"
I thought for a while, half understanding, and then asked him.
"There is only one possibility."
Lei Yinsen's eyes narrowed, and he continued: "This also indirectly illustrates a problem."
I was stunned and glanced at him in surprise. I didn't know why he had figured out so many things in just one hour.
He said that the soul of the old man of the Hao family had not gone to the underworld for so many days. According to common sense, the evil spirits in the province would personally escort him to the underworld, but it happened that so many days had passed without any news, and they blocked the investigation.
, it turned out to be a mistake. As a result, the problem became more and more obvious.
Finally, following his train of thought, I also thought of something wrong.
If the old man's movements were well known by the Soul Transferring Master, but they still refused to send him back to the underworld, then there might be some unknown secrets.
"So, what should we do next?"
I had no idea for a while, and I knew nothing about it, so I left all the decisions of staying and planning to him.
"wait!"
"wait?"
I couldn't help but be slightly startled again, who am I waiting for? The old man of the Hao family, or the soul-crossing chai?
"If tonight is a safe night, I will set up a formation to investigate the truth we want to find out.
"It's up to you to decide. I don't know anything about these things. It's up to you to decide what to do."
I was just like a dead horse being treated as a living ant, letting him have his way, but I couldn't help but have the same interest in the truth of what he said.
It was late at night, just as he expected, but luckily the underworld Yin Cha and the Soul Crossing did not appear here. Immediately afterwards, Lei Yinsen held the talismans and arranged the formation he mentioned in the corridor of the fourth floor.
I crossed my arms and stood outside the window on the fourth floor. Then I tightened my eyes and reminded him: "He's coming!"
