Ms. Xu nodded repeatedly after hearing this: "Master, you are right. My father did pass away a while ago, and some things happened after he passed away..."
Halfway through her words, Ms. Xu seemed to suddenly realize something, and suddenly opened her eyes wide and asked:
"Did the Master just see my father? Is he by my side?!"
Xi Haihong shook her head and said, "There is indeed a ghost following you, but it is not your deceased relative. It should be because you often go to places with strong yin energy recently, and you are weak in body and weak in yang energy, so you are entangled by some lonely ghosts with evil intentions."
What she saw in Ms. Xu was a woman in her thirties with little ability and a resentful look.
After learning that Ms. Xu had been traveling back and forth between her home and the cemetery almost every day for the past two weeks, Xi Haihong confirmed her guess.
This female ghost must have seen that Ms. Xu burned incense and paper every day and was weak and easy to bully, so she followed her from the cemetery and absorbed the incense that Ms. Xu bought and the yang energy in her body.
During this period, Ms. Xu suffered from body aches and depression, which was actually partly due to the influence of the haunted ghost.
Xi Haihong then added: "But this also happens to show that your deceased father did not go to the underworld to reincarnate."
She explained that as soon as she entered the house, she felt that it was filled with a gloomy atmosphere and a residual ghostly aura;
Since these ghostly auras are exactly the same as the traces and breath of life left by the homeowner, they are not easy to detect.
This shows that Ms. Xu's father still had obsessions after his death and had returned to this room.
It is precisely because there is the lingering breath of the owner in the house that the existence of Ms. Xu's ghost is concealed, making it extremely difficult to discover.
If Xi Haihong had not been the Grim Reaper with a pair of eyes that could see through any soul, this wild ghost would have probably fooled her.
When Ms. Xu heard that the ghost following her was not Mr. Xu, she actually showed a hint of disappointment on her face:
"Is there any way to make my father appear?"
Xi Haihong was a little surprised: "You want to find him?"
After receiving Ms. Xu's affirmative answer, Xi Haihong thought for a moment and said:
"It's not impossible. I can try to help you 'summon the spirit'."
She performed some magic in this house, using Xu's father's horoscope and identity information to cast a 'soul-calling spell', but failed to summon Xu's father's soul.
At this time, Ms. Xu told the program team that the property left by her father happened to be not far from the cemetery where he was buried. It was only about three kilometers away and could be reached by turning a few corners.
So the program crew took her and Xi Haihong and drove for a few minutes to the cemetery where Xu's father was buried.
When they arrived at Xu's father's grave, the photographers did not point their cameras at the tombstone to take pictures of the deceased's portrait, which would have been a very disrespectful act.
From the black and white image on the tombstone, we can see that Xu's father was very old when he died, and his expression was a little serious.
Xi Haihong cast the "requiem spell" again.
This time she squatted down and put her palms on the soil in front of Xu's father's tombstone, her brows furrowed more and more.
After a while, she withdrew her hand, stood up and looked a little serious:
"It's a bit strange that your father's spirit cannot be summoned."
"In theory, the tomb of the deceased is equivalent to his residence after death. Unless it is an extremely special situation, eight out of ten times you can "summon the soul" in front of the tomb."
Ms. Xu was a little anxious: "How could this happen?"
Xi Haihong said: "There are two situations now. One is that your father's soul has left the world of the living and has been captured by the underworld and is being judged.
Second, it has deep resentment and is very resistant to the spirit summoning technique, so it doesn’t want to be summoned.”
After gently brushing off the dust in her palm, Xi Haihong shook her head and said:
"You can't summon the ghost to ask questions. I can't see much. I hope the contestants behind you can help you."
"But I can sense that your father's death is not peaceful."
After thanking Xi Haihong, the program staff returned to Ms. Xu's home, and soon Liu announced the next contestant: He Mi Tu.
When the Thai sorcerer He Mi Tu appeared, what he saw was almost the same as what the previous two people saw.
Everyone could see that someone in the Xu family had died, but they couldn't find the soul of Xu's father.
For a while, some comments said that the previous contestants were not good enough, but there were also many rational viewers:
[The person in this incident was not even Ms. Xu herself, nor her relatives, but some neighbor or friend. The program team did not give any clues at all. Isn’t this deliberately making things difficult for the contestants? ]
[I also think that if someone gets into trouble, they should just go to that person's house and let the contestants look after the person... The three of them are the kind of contestants who "can't look at people, look at ghosts."]
[Wait a minute, two powerful people who can turn a person inside out are about to appear. ]
【……】
Soon Daisy made her final appearance.
After she arrived at the room, she hugged the host Liu first, said hello to the live camera, and then looked at Ms. Xu:
"Can you give me your hand? Will you resist me holding your hand and sensing the energy in you?"
Ms. Xu shook her head and held out her palm to Daisy, "Of course I don't mind."
Covering Ms. Xu's palms with her hands and behind her back, Daisy muttered something with her blue eyes closed.
"I can sense that you are a very friendly lady. This is related to your personality and occupation. You are very popular with children and often interact with them. I guess you should be a teacher."
"But you always have a lot of pain in your heart... My God, ma'am, you never have your own children, right?"
Ms. Xu's eyes were red, and she nodded: "It's like this, I'm not in good health and can't have children."
Daisy looked a little reluctant.
She could sense that the woman in front of her was very fragile inside, lacking in affection and love. How could someone who loved children so much not have the rights to have family members?
Daisy continued, "I can sense that you had a very good relationship with the owner of this house. There are traces of your life here for many years. He was your most important relative. But you lost him, which was a big blow to you."
"Besides that, when I was sensing your power, I always felt that there was a young boy in your subconscious..."
Daisy looked a little confused when she said this.
Her ability is to project the energy of others into their inner world and see some of the most profound images hidden in their memories.
"That boy looks to be in his early twenties..." Daisy roughly described the man's appearance. "For some reason, you feel full of remorse for this person. Because of him, you have been hesitating and struggling about something for a while."
After hearing Daisy's description, Ms. Xu pursed her lips and nodded:
"Master, you are so accurate. The person you mentioned is the reason why I asked the program team for help this time."
"He is the child of a very good friend of our family. This time, at my father's funeral, this family helped me a lot, but...but after the funeral, this child fell ill. It's all my fault!"
Looking tired and apologetic, she finally told the program team the whole reason why she asked for help and the strange things that happened not long ago.
"I don't know if there are any funeral traditions and taboos in your hometown, but we do have them here. When an elderly person dies, we have to find someone to take care of the funeral. In addition to the traditional customs of 'sealing the coffin' and 'wrapping the clothes', the most important ceremony here is 'funeral banners'."
In Ms. Xu's hometown, the grandness of the funeral procession is an important symbol of whether a person will be happy in the underground after his death.
The grander and more complete the rituals of the funeral procession, the more it represents the filial piety of the family, and the more blessed the deceased will be in the underworld.
For this reason, after Xu's father passed away, Ms. Xu immediately went to the local funeral team to arrange for her father's funeral.
There were six people carrying the coffin at the funeral.
There were also four masters playing suona, and a team of several people carrying "fangxiang" - large paper objects, "mingqi" - burial items and some tribute food in front of the coffin.
We hired more than twenty people.
Even though the event was a grand occasion, there was still one thing that troubled Ms. Xu deeply.
In their local area, in the "funeral" procession, the eldest son is required to walk in front holding the deceased's portrait, and the eldest grandson is required to walk beside him carrying the "soul-calling banner".
It is said that waving the banner in this way can guide the souls of the dead who are about to enter the underworld to arrive safely at the Ghost Gate, and will not be dragged into the mud and lose their minds by the evil spirits on the road to the underworld.
This tradition has been passed down in the local area for thousands of years.
Every time an elderly person dies in the county, you can see relatives wearing mourning clothes, crying and scattering money while holding the portrait and waving banners to "carry off" the deceased.
What worries Ms. Xu is that she is the only descendant of Mr. Xu.
In their small place, the idea of valuing sons and believing that only having sons can provide roots is still deeply rooted.
Originally, the eldest son and grandson were supposed to hold the portrait and carry the soul-calling banner.
If one or both parties are women, even if the funeral of the deceased is grand and spectacular, there will still be some stubborn old people who will point fingers behind the back and say that the deceased is "unlucky".
As for Ms. Xu, as a daughter, she can hold her father's portrait.
But she had no children, not even a grandchild to carry the spirit-calling banner for her father.
When the funeral was still being planned, she heard some neighbors whispering, saying something like, "Old man Xu lived a whole life, but in his end he didn't even have children or grandchildren to see him off to the grave."
Say that Mr. Xu is pitiful.
尽管许女士心里清楚，这些老人说的话都没必要听进心里去，就是些旧时代的固步自封。
可她听着评价父亲一口一个‘福薄’、‘没根儿’，心里还是难受得紧。
再加上父亲年轻的时候脾气倔，又因为她这个女娃，和家那边的亲戚闹得很僵；
许女士知道这次来参加葬礼的亲戚里，肯定会有人说不中听的闲话。
思来想去，她决定在当地找一个品性好的年轻人，来给父亲当‘送灵人’。
听到这儿，从没听说过这种习俗的大刘问了一句：
“送灵人是什么？”
许女士说：“相当于找一个假的儿孙，来给死者充当男性后代，在‘送葬’队伍中为死者扛幡引路。”
“也是我们这儿一种送葬习俗，老人没有男性后代，家里人就可以出钱找人来‘送灵’。”
据她所说，‘送灵人’也不是随便什么人都能当的，更不是找来了之后就能直接扛幡的。
首先‘送灵人’要是童子身，这样其纯净的阳气才不会和棺椁中尸体相冲。
其次他的生辰八字要和死者的八字相匹配，不能是八字对冲。
最后在选定了‘送灵人’后，他要在做法事的师父的帮助下打通和死者的连接，这样死者下黄泉时，才能看到他引路的幡头。
这样一通挑选、作法之后，实际上‘送灵人’就相当于是死者的干儿子、或干孙子了。
日后死者在下面会庇佑一些他，他若是每逢节假日给死者烧烧纸，也算是孝敬供奉了死者。
为了不让父亲那边的亲戚说闲话，许女士便掏钱让帮忙置办白事的师父放出要找‘送灵人’的消息。
很快就有不少人找上门来。
最终许女士选择了相熟的朋友的儿子当‘送灵人’，来为父亲打幡送葬。
许女士说：“其实这家人不是和我熟，是他们的长辈和我父亲是好友，以前两个老人都当过兵、是战友。”
“但是那家老爷子当兵的时候身体落下了隐疾，去得很早，在那之后除了逢年过节我们两家走个节礼，就很少有来往了。”
因此在看到这家人的儿子愿意来给自家老爷子扛幡，许女士是非常高兴的。
这男生大学刚刚毕业两个月，据说是回家备考本地编制。
他父母听到许父去世、在找‘送灵人’的消息，想着两家之前也有交集，就让自己的儿子来了。
尽管是熟人，可许女士坚持按照规矩给了男生两万五千块钱，算是他替许老爷子送这最后一程的报酬。
一直到师父帮忙做法、安排后事具体事项，都十分顺利。
到了该下葬的那天，负责办白事一条龙的队伍吹弹敲打，六个壮汉小心翼翼抬着棺椁，往坟地处走去。
队伍前头抱着父亲‘遗像’的许女士泪如雨下，听着后头亲朋好友的哭丧声，心中格外凄凉，觉得自己最后一个亲人也没有了。
结果就在某处拐角，送葬的队伍中发出一声惊呼。
披麻戴孝的许女士听到动静，捧着遗像一回头，也被吓了一跳！
其中一个抬棺的师父不知怎么在平地绊了腿，一个踉跄没抬住，让棺椁的前角砸在了地上。
这在‘送葬’中可是大忌！
俗话说‘棺材不落地’，一旦棺椁在‘送葬’途中沾到了地上，就意味着棺中死者并不愿意下葬。
要么是有什么不满，要么就是心中有怨，总之不是什么好事儿。
负责做法的师父也变了脸色，直骂抬棺师父不小心。
队伍停了一会儿也没发生什么事情，于是就又动了起来。
这一次一直到棺椁入土，也没再出现什么意外。
但因着刚刚棺材落地的事情，大家心里总归有些不得劲儿。
就在这个时候，负责做法事的师父把许女士拉到了一边，说道：
'刚才你父亲的棺椁碰到了地面，这在‘送葬’中非常不吉利，今天晚上得找个你们家里的男丁，让他在坟边守上一晚上的夜，让子孙的孝心抚平刚刚棺落地带来的晦气。’
这个要求又让许女士犯了难。
且不说父亲一方的亲戚中没有太亲近的人，就是有人家也未必愿意。
她问道：‘我去守不行吗？’
做法的师父摇头道：‘男丁守夜一个是规矩，另一个是男人的阳火重，在祖宗坟头守上一晚上也没什么大碍，但是许女士你身体本来就虚、女人阴气更重也容易引来脏东西缠身。’
就在许女士为难的时候，那个充当‘送灵人’的年轻人在旁边听到了，主动提出他来守夜。
这可把许女士感动极了。
她打心眼里觉得这个男生是个好孩子，于是又临时去买了顶帐篷、酒精灯等物，拜托对方帮忙守一晚。
次日男生从坟地出来的时候精神头还很不错。
谁成想他回到家之后就发起了高烧，直接昏倒了，高烧中还接连不断地做噩梦。
男生家里的人找来了当地神婆给儿子看事，神婆说男生之所以会突然高烧不止，是因为许女士的父亲死后变成了厉鬼，缠着男生。
这下男生的父母异常愤怒，认为许家恩将仇报，而许女士本人也十分震惊。
按理说，她父亲生前虽然是个脾气倔强、有些古怪的老头，但他从不与人为敌。
更何况这个男生还是他老战友的孙子，还来给父亲当了‘送灵人’，怎么会发生这种事情呢？
一直到两三天后男生的病情也没有好转，反而越来越严重。
渐渐的，附近的居民都知道了这件事，各种猜测接连不断越传越离谱。
有的说许父是因为‘送葬’途中棺材落地、迁怒了男生。
也有的说许父到底是没有儿子、孙子动了歪心思，看到别人家的男娃就觉得还是要有个根子才好，就想要把给自己‘送灵’的年轻人带走……
总之因为这件事的发生，周边的邻居们口中的许父，一下就变成了‘恶鬼’一样的存在，连带着许女士这段日子出门也受到了指指点点。
她听了那些说父亲的话，心里觉得很不是滋味儿。
因为她觉得许父不是那样的人。
这其中一定有什么隐情！
许女士还带了许多营养品、水果去了‘送灵’男生的家里，结果对方根本不愿意让她上门。
还没进屋，男生的父母就把她带去的东西都扔了出来，斥骂道：
'我们觉得那老爷子没个儿孙，连扛幡的人都没有怪可怜的，就把孩子送过去帮帮忙，结果你们家就是这么感激我们的？’
'直到现在我儿子还发着低烧，整天头疼脑热，要不是我们素质高，看到你都要打你的！’
被赶走的许女士觉得很崩溃，也觉得很愧疚。
她怎么也想不到自己好心却办了坏事。
父亲的丧礼也没有尽善尽美、似乎惹了他不痛快；
连带着帮忙‘送灵’的年轻人也遭了罪。
许女士反复前往父亲的坟头给他烧纸，希望父亲能够给自己托梦，有什么不满的地方都告诉自己。
但是她始终无法梦到许父。
最终为了彻底解决这件事，她只能给节目组投出求助信，想让节目组的选手来帮忙看一看，父亲到底有什么遗愿没有了结。
他到底为什么会缠着‘送灵’的年轻人。
听完了许女士诉求后，直播间内的观众们纷纷开启了各种猜测。
黛西思索片刻，也试着用西方的女巫术法来召唤许父的魂魄。
这一次她同样并没有招来。
大刘出声询问道：“黛西要不要去许女士父亲的坟前看一看、试试能否召唤出来？”
黛西缓缓摇头：“应该不行，我完全感应不到屋主的存在，就算去了他的墓穴应该也无济于事。”
“不好意思许女士，让你失望了。”
许女士勉强笑了笑，说道：“其实我早就做好了准备，我觉得父亲可能是在怨我，他不想见我吧。”
黛西道：“您千万别这么想，事情一定能够解决的。”
大刘轻叹一口气，举着话筒看向镜头说道：
“各位观众们，黛西选手通过女巫独有的能力，感应到了许女士这段时间心中一直有一个年轻人，她对这个年轻人窥觊让她寝食难安，从而引出了一段本地的古老丧葬习俗：送葬。”
“我们这才知道，原来许女士的父亲在下葬时就出现了离奇的棺椁落地，之后更是缠上了为他送灵守夜的年轻人。”
“到底许老先生还有什么不满和遗愿，我们又是否能够帮助许女士解决求助、解开心结呢？
有请最后一位选手：顾之桑登场！”
很快，顾之桑便在节目组工作人员的带领下，来到了这栋房子。
刚一踏入门槛，她便抬眸在四周观察一番。
大刘见状忍不住问道：“桑桑你发现什么了？”
顾之桑收回视线，淡淡说道：“这个屋子的户主走的不安息。”
大刘/许女士：！
大刘：“为什么这么说呢？”
Gu Zhisang: "After you entered this house, didn't you feel a sense of boredom after staying there for a long time? The air in this room is not circulating, or it carries some foul air. Living here for a long time is not good for your health."
"But these foul energies are not from outside, but overflow from this house on their own. The owner of this house has passed away, and the property certificate should not have been changed to a new owner in time, so this house is not completely a yang house."
The owner of the household is dead and lives in a tomb.
The property it owned during its lifetime is still under its name. Although it is a yang house, it is also connected to a yin house.
If the deceased died of natural causes and his soul returned to the underworld, then the body would be relatively peaceful underground.
But if it cannot rest in peace after death, the gloomy and corrupt smell that will naturally overflow from the tomb will also flow into the owner's other "mansion".
Living in this room for a long time is like living in a half grave, so your health will naturally not be in good condition.
This is the secret of Feng Shui.
So Gu Zhisang was certain that something must have gone wrong with the head of the household when or after his death.
Gu Zhisang said, "Replace your ID as soon as you have time, or just stop living here."
Hearing these inferences, Ms. Xu was amazed. At this moment, she heard Gu Zhisang ask her:
"What is your relationship to the deceased?"
Ms. Xu was stunned for a moment: "He is my father."
Hearing this, Gu Zhisang studied her face and said, "You are not his biological daughter."
Liu/audience:?!
