However, Liu Yuanxing's death was what countless people dreamed of. He was free from illness and disaster, without any pain. He could just lie down on the bed at home, close his eyes, and pass away peacefully. This was also a blessing. As a foreign guest, Fang Jian did not rush into Liu Yuanxing's house, but stood outside waiting. At this time, people from Daliu Village had already arrived one after another. When Liu Yuanxing's son Liu Daben finished reporting the death, he also hurried back home. When Liu Daben saw Fang Jian outside, he immediately stepped forward and said, "Mr. Fang..."
Fang Jian looked at Liu Daben and said, "I heard that your father passed away. I happened to be staying at Daliushan Village temporarily, so I wanted to come over to see him off. I just didn't dare to go in. Brother Daben, I'm so sad."
Liu Daben's eyes were slightly red, and he choked when he heard it, "Thank you, Mr. Fang." Then Liu Daben took a step back, knelt down in front of Fang Jian, and kowtowed three times. This is a folk custom. When an elder in the family dies, the younger generation has to go to the homes of relatives and friends in the same village to announce the death. When they meet, they first kowtow three times, and then explain that so-and-so in their family has passed away, and invite you to come to my house to help or sit for a while. If others don't "invite" you in this way, you can't go. If they haven't invited you, why would you go?
So after Liu Daben went to Fang Jian's house, it was equivalent to formally inviting Fang Jian to his home to see Liu Yuanxing off. After Fang Jian entered Liu Yuanxing's house, the next thing was that a group of elders from Daliaozhuang sat together to talk, deciding some matters about the funeral and choosing an auspicious date for the burial. Fang Jian was not allowed to participate in this process. In the end, the auspicious date for Liu Yuanxing was chosen to be three days later, which meant that his body would remain at home for three days. Fang Jian stood in the yard. Behind him were two people wearing ghost robes and with extremely strong yin energy. They were the ghost messengers in the underworld who were responsible for summoning souls from this place. After hearing the auspicious date for Liu Yuanxing's burial, the ghost messenger on the left said, "Three days later, today is the seventeenth. That is, the twenty-first will come out, and the night of the nineteenth will be the night of the summoning."
This is the rule of the underworld. After a mortal dies, if the human world has chosen an auspicious date for their burial, their soul is allowed to temporarily stay in the body until the night before their burial, when it is then taken to the underworld. This allows the deceased to accept the fact of their death within a few days. Secondly, it is also a mercy of the underworld, allowing the deceased to have a good look at their family and acquaintances in life. Upon hearing this, another ghost messenger nodded and said, "Okay, then let's use the soul-binding rope first." cascoo.net
After saying this, the ghost officer raised his hand, and a soul-binding rope immediately flew onto Liu Yuanxing's body, firmly fixing his soul on the body to prevent his soul from leaving the body during the period of rest. Otherwise, it would be troublesome if they couldn't find his soul when they came back to bind his soul. After doing all this, the two ghost officers looked at Fang Jian, then turned around and turned into two ghost spirits and flew out of Liu Yuanxing's house and headed towards the land temple. After seeing the two ghost officers leave, Fang Jian immediately raised his hand and shot out a fairy light, which fell into Liu Yuanxing's soul. It was one of his divine thoughts. With this divine thought mark, when the ghost officer arrested Liu Yuanxing's soul, he would display the magical power of "Ruyi Huaxiang", turn into a soul light and fall on Liu Yuanxing, and take a journey to the underworld from the perspective of an ordinary ghost. This was the focus of his inspection of the lower world this time, and it must not be neglected, so he marked Liu Yuanxing's soul with his divine thoughts in advance.
