When he reached the end of the poem, Fifth Master took out an old-fashioned copper bell.
Tie the copper bell with a red rope and attach it to the tail of the black snake.
"The black serpent lurks through the mountains, yin and yang work together to awaken the spring breeze."
The black snake seemed to sense something, and suddenly raised its head, twisting its body incessantly, trying to break free of its restraints.
Fifth Master, however, calmly took the bowl that had previously contained Little Fatty's soul and peeled off the yellow talisman on it.
In an instant, a wisp of white vapor drifted out of the bowl, slowly swirling and rising in the air.
Then, it precisely burrowed into the black snake's wide-open nostrils.
As the white aura merged in, the black snake's struggles gradually weakened.
Its previously frenzied movements became sluggish.
The fierce glint in his eyes was gradually replaced by a look of confusion.
Seeing this, Fifth Master firmly grasped the snake's head with both hands and slowly circled it three times in front of Little Fatty's corpse.
With each circle, Fifth Master muttered incantations.
After reciting the last sentence, Fifth Master released the black snake.
As soon as he let go, the black snake slithered into Little Fatty's eye socket.
"What are you doing?" I asked Jin Ye.
Master Jin explained calmly, "This is to allow Little Fatty's soul and the snake's soul to merge."
"Snakes belong to Yin, and their souls are pure. Using snakes as a guide can help Little Fatty's soul find its way back and regain its vitality."
"The black snake touching his eye socket is to awaken Little Fatty's three souls and seven spirits, allowing his soul to reconnect with this world."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Fifth Master picked up a coffin nail and hammered it hard into Little Fatty's forehead.
After wiping away his sweat, he said to Uncle Liu, "Take Xiao Pang's body back. Once back, use five-emperor coins to seal his eyes, nose, ears, mouth, and anus. Prepare a large vat, fill it with clean water, put the body in the vat to soak, and bury it after forty-nine days."
Uncle Liu asked incredulously, "This...this is it?"
Fifth Master nodded weakly: "When that black snake crawls out of the corpse, it will be your son."
"Really?" Uncle Liu was still a little incredulous.
Fifth Master hummed in agreement: "If you don't believe me, you can call his name."
Uncle Liu stared at Little Fatty's corpse and tentatively called out, "Son?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the chubby boy nodded.
"It's come back to life!"
Someone shouted and started running wildly in all directions.
Fifth Master raised his hand and pressed it down: "Don't make a fuss, the corpse didn't come back to life, it's the snake that's responding."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black snake crawled out of the fat boy's eye socket.
After circling around Uncle Liu, it nodded like a human and returned to Little Fatty's body.
"Amazing! Absolutely amazing!"
Luo Tianhe's eyes widened in surprise.
However, I noticed that Mr. Jin's expression had become unusually serious.
I looked around at the other people again.
They were all stunned by Fifth Master's methods.
But I didn't see Grandma Zeng.
Strange, when did that old woman leave?
After everyone had left, on the way back, Luo Tianhe was still discussing the matter of soul transfer with me.
I had no time to talk to him about this; I just wanted to get to Grandma Zeng's house as soon as possible.
We absolutely cannot let that old woman get away.
As they were talking, Jin suddenly turned around and ran back.
"Brother Jin, where are you going?"
Without turning his head, Jin Ye ran even faster: "This soul transfer is wrong, Sixth Uncle is going to die!"
