Humans have Three Souls and Seven Spirits, ghosts have Nine Netherworld Obsessions and Five Aggregates of Fire. But from the time I was born, I was missing an Earth Soul.
From a young age, I ...
Su Mingyang and I nodded quickly.
Su Mingyang asked, "Then, Mr. Jin, should we still call you Mr. Jin like we do now?"
Jin Ye said with a serious expression, "Just call me the number one handsome guy."
What is that?
Su Mingyang and I both gasped in shock; we had never seen such a shameless person.
Su Mingyang suppressed a laugh and looked at Huang Xiangu: "And Huang Xiangu? The number one beauty?"
Huang Xiangu waved her hand: "Just call me Huang Xiangu, or Auntie. I have a guardian spirit protecting me, so ordinary ghosts and demons dare not retaliate."
After he had finished explaining everything, Master Jin held three lit incense sticks, bowed three times to the sky, and muttered some incantations.
"Heavenly spirits, earthly spirits, wandering souls of all directions, heed my command! Today, I beseech your venerable spirits to come and convey my message to ease my distress."
Upon hearing this, I quickly picked up the uncooked rice in front of me and scattered it around.
Su Mingyang kept throwing paper money into the brazier.
The paper money must be burned until the 'passing through the underworld' is over, otherwise something terrible will happen.
As for Huang Xiangu, she closed her eyes and remained silent.
There was a scarecrow about the size of a palm on each of her left and right sides.
A yellow talisman was tied to the scarecrow with a red rope, inside which were wrapped my and Su Mingyang's hair, birth dates, fingernails, and blood from our middle fingers.
The scarecrow was also covered with dozens of silver needles, the purpose of which was unknown.
Seeing that we were all ready, Master Jin nodded in satisfaction, inserted incense into the yin-yang water bowl, and then picked up the soul-summoning banner and began to dance in the circle.
He kept calling out: "Spirit of Bai Su, quickly cross the netherworld! Yin and Yang meet, let your soul return to this form; borrow this body to speak, break the darkness of night; soul, come, answer my call, obey my command, do not fail my request!"
As the summoning banners fluttered, the surrounding air seemed to gradually grow colder, and the flames of the black candles placed in the four cardinal directions began to flicker erratically.
In the candlelight, several shadowy figures appeared on the wall beside us, and we could almost see the bowls and chopsticks swaying as they moved.
I know it's the wandering ghosts and spirits from the surrounding area that have been attracted here to eat.
I sprinkling the rice even faster.
At the same time, I suddenly heard a 'click-click' sound.
The sound was like someone using a crowbar to pry open an old, dilapidated coffin lid that had been neglected for years and was corroded by moisture.
I turned my head in the direction of the sound and found that Huang Xiangu's closed eyes had opened at some point.
Her eyes were completely black, with no whites!
