The New Year is coming soon, and the celebrations of the living make the ghosts wandering the world, struggling to reincarnate, seem even more miserable.
Lu Sichen's act of liberating the souls of the dead inspired many souls in Yuncheng, who came one after another to kneel down and pray sincerely, seeking the opportunity to be liberated and enter reincarnation.
The final scale of this salvation ceremony was even larger than the collective salvation ceremonies in ordinary Taoist temples!
The merits gained by Lu Sichen that night were comparable to the merits accumulated by an ordinary person doing good deeds for more than ten years!
While Lu Sichen was in the process of liberating the ghost, the evil aura in the body of the "evil spirit cat" next to him was purified.
The Yin energy in the 'evil spirit cat''s' body faded away and gradually became pure.
Its appearance also lost its ferocious aura, more like an ordinary black cat, a docile pet...
…
New Year's Day.
In the morning, Lan Xi got up as soon as it was light.
In the yard of the Lan family villa, even though the temperature outside dropped and the air was chilly, she still did her morning exercises day after day without missing a beat.
After finishing a set of boxing, Lan Xi saw his elder and second brothers walking out of the villa.
Next, she led her brothers in practicing a set of boxing. When the three of them finished exercising and were warm all over, Lan Xi received red envelopes from her eldest and second brothers.
"Happy New Year, sister." Lan Ziji smiled, and his originally serious and cold face was now warm and kind.
Lan Zimo standing beside him also had a gentle expression.
He, who was always silent and cold, also said, "Happy New Year, sister."
Lan Xi did not refuse and accepted the red envelope generously.
She understands this New Year's blessing.
In previous years, when she was in the mountains and her master was still alive, she would also receive red envelopes from her master on the first day of the Lunar New Year.
However, most of the red envelopes from the master are not money, but some miscellaneous things.
For example, when she was three years old, her master gave her a dried poisonous centipede as wide as a child's arm in a big red envelope as a toy.
When she was four years old, her master gave her a bell with a female ghost hidden in it. Every time she rang the bell, the female ghost would come out and sing or tell stories according to her requirements to coax her to sleep.
When he was five years old, his master gave him a bronze mirror. The bronze mirror was thousands of years old and contained an illusion of a bloody battle on an ancient battlefield.
At that time, the master said that the images in the bronze mirror were more realistic and beautiful than the TV dramas at the foot of the mountain, and asked her to watch it as entertainment when she was free.
The gifts from the master were rare, but Lan Xi realized later when she grew up that the scenes of fighting on the battlefield, broken arms and legs, and rivers of blood were really not suitable for a child like her. She ate rice candy and cracked melon seeds while watching them as if they were a TV series.
Thinking of the past and his master, Lan Xi couldn't help but sigh for his master's death.
Although my master is very immoral and not a good person, he raised me and treated me well after all.
It's a pity that Master died early, otherwise he could still be enjoying the good life with me now...
…
Today is the first day of the new year, and the Lan family prepared dumplings for breakfast.
In addition to the common dumplings with pork and radish, leeks and eggs, the chef also makes dumplings with pork mixed with crab roe and crab legs, as well as pork with lobster, sea cucumber and abalone.
Lan Xi ate a few of each type of dumplings, and finally felt that the dumplings with leek and egg filling were the best.
After the family finished breakfast, Lan Xi received another red envelope from his parents, along with a Happy New Year.
In addition to Lan Xi, Lan Ziji and Lan Zimo also received the red envelope this time.
The red envelopes of the three people were all heavy. When they opened them, they found a gold brick the size of a banknote and more than half a finger thick.
There are customized patterns on the gold brick, and the words "healthy and happy" are written on it, and today's date is engraved on it, indicating that it is a New Year's red envelope sent today.
Lan Xi put away the gold bricks and was then taken out to play by his elder and second brothers.
It was the first time for the two brothers to bring their sister out together.
After discussing it, the two drove to the cinema.
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are many New Year movies that you can watch with your sister and have fun.
…
In Haicheng, in the cinema closest to the Lan family.
Because there are too many people watching the movie today, it is difficult to buy movie tickets.
So Lan Ziji only bought three movie tickets for the back rows.
Fortunately, the three tickets were connected, so Lan Ziji and Lan Zimo could sit with their sister.
The movie is in the morning and starts around ten o'clock.
After entering, the three of them found a seat and sat down. Not long after, the New Year's film began to play -
The movie chosen by Lan Ziji is a comedy.
His original intention was to make his sister laugh, but unfortunately there were many funny moments in the movie that Lan Xi, who had only been down the mountain for half a year, could not understand.
Therefore, this comedy did not achieve the results that Lan Ziji expected.
Halfway through the movie, the audience in the theater burst into laughter because of a funny scene in the movie.
But when the laughter was about to end, suddenly, a sudden scream resounded over the screening room!
Many of the audience subconsciously looked in the direction of the screams, but because the light in the theater was too dim, not many people could tell what was happening over there.
At this moment, Lan Xi, who was sitting in the back row, sensed the presence of a ghost nearby!
Perhaps the ghost has been here for a long time, but because there are too many people nearby and the yang energy is strong, it has covered up the existence of the yin energy!
Because of the scream, the security staff quickly turned on the lights in the screening room.
As people continued to ask questions in the venue.
"What's wrong?"
"What happened?"
At this moment, several more screams were heard from the front row!
Along with the screams, there were also people shouting in panic, "It's broken! Dead, dead!"
For a moment, many audience members left their seats and moved away to both sides.
Only then did Lan Xi notice that in the middle of the third row of the cinema, there was a man with his head tilted back in an exaggerated curve of his neck.
His face was distorted with fear, his body was motionless, and there were two bruised finger marks on his neck.
A murder occurred in the cinema, and the staff immediately rushed over to comfort the audience.
However, because it involved a murder case, no one present could leave and had to wait for the police to arrive and question everyone one by one.
Lan Ziji and Lan Zimo had never expected that they would encounter such a thing when they took their sister out during the New Year.
Lan Xi was looking at the evil spirit in a red dress behind the man whose neck was strangled!
Judging from the blood on the evil spirit, it was obvious that the man's death was caused by the evil spirit.
Between the evil spirit and the man's body, there was still a bloody chain of cause and effect that had not yet completely dissipated.
Clearly, there's a blood feud between the man and the ghost, and it's a feud that won't end until one of them dies! (End of this chapter)
