Chapter 163 The Spiritual Guy
Wendy poked the old man with a branch and asked curiously, "Hey, why isn't this soul asleep? It's still so energetic and hasn't turned into an evil spirit?"
The old man was annoyed by the branches of Wendy. "Girl, do you know what it means to respect the old and love the young? I am a great wizard. I practiced the Six Burial Scriptures when I was alive. Of course I will not become an evil spirit."
At this point, Xun Yuanfeng also asked the old man curiously, "Aren't souls usually taken away by ferrymen or soul-catchers after death? How can you still be in the world of the living? If a soul stays in the human world, it will violate the laws of the underworld and be thrown into the icy hell for a hundred years?"
When the old man heard what Xun Yuanfeng said, he immediately laughed: "Hahaha, this is the power of Zang Zun. All the souls who believe in Zang Zun are blessed by Zang Zun. What's more, this Zangling Village is set up with many formations. If Zhu Xiaohong had not died outside the village, how could her soul be reincarnated. Only after the ceremony can the soul be reincarnated. Otherwise, it can only serve Zang Zun in Zangling Village."
"No wonder, even though I entrusted Zhao Li to do so, he couldn't find any information about the evil god in Zangling Village in the underworld." Xun Yuanfeng thought.
A girl with a red headband on her head looked at these people in confusion, "Can you all see this old man?"
Tao Mengyan looked at the stranger carefully and felt that she was very familiar. She thought for a long time and said, "Ah, you are Doctor Xi, right?"
Xi Yueyao nodded and said, "I used to be a doctor, but now... I am just a patient. You don't have to call me Doctor Xi, my name is Xi Yueyao, you... just call me Little Sister Xi. You are..."
Tao Mengyan said: "When I was a child, I often went to the hospital for treatment, and I saw you at that time. Oh, by the way, Sister Xi, what are you doing here so late at night?"
Xi Yueyao said with a little sadness: "I came here to look for Lao Xiao, that is, Xiao Chi, my colleague and also my relative."
The old man chuckled and said, "Girl from the Xi family, you are looking for the boy from the Xiao family, right? I know..."
Xi Yueyao hurriedly asked: "Master, can you tell me where he went?"
The old man put on the music, "You are so rude! Do you know who I am and what day it is today? You need to offer me a piece of clothing in order to get my guidance."
Paimeng asked Xun Yuanfeng curiously, "Traveler, what day is today?"
Xun Yuanfeng was also stunned. He took out his apple and checked the date coolly. "It turns out to be the Cold Clothes Festival."
Wendy asked curiously, "What is the Cold Clothes Festival?"
Xun Yuanfeng explained: "The Xijin Zhi Jiyi Sui Ji says: 'In this month, starting from the first day of the year, the capital city celebrates the festival of sending cold clothes. People go to the graves before offering sacrifices and sweep yellow leaves for the dead.' In short, it is the Ghost Festival, when clothes are given to the dead souls."
Paimeng said, "Oh," "So that's why the old man asked Sister Xiao Xi for clothes."
Xi Yueyao said to the old man, "Uncle, I don't have any clothes here either. How about you let me in and I'll look inside."
The old man closed his eyes and ignored Xi Yueyao's request. Xun Yuanfeng looked around and saw the village intersection in front of him. There was a dummy tied in a sack on the ground, which faintly revealed a gloomy aura.
Xun Yuanfeng stepped forward and tore open the sack, revealing the dummy inside, and inside the dummy there was a bag of paper clothes. Xun Yuanfeng felt as if this was a deliberate arrangement.
The talisman in his hand caught fire and set the dummy on fire. Sure enough, the dummy suddenly stood up and wanted to pounce on Xun Yuanfeng, but he kicked it away and it was burned to ashes not long after it hit the ground.
The old man opened one eye slightly, and his body trembled slightly when he saw this scene. When he saw Xun Yuanfeng looking up at him, he quickly closed his eyes.
Xun Yuanfeng handed the paper clothes in his hand to Xi Yueyao, "Little Sister Xi, this is for you."
Xi Yueyao took the paper clothes and said, "Thank you!" She looked up at the old man and said, "Uncle, can I just burn it for you?"
The old man remained silent. Xi Yueyao lit the paper clothes and placed them in the circle of stones in front of the old man. The fire burned fiercely and soon the paper clothes were burned to ashes.
With a "swish", the old man's original clothes turned into a festive red, but it was a woman's clothes.
The old man opened his eyes and blinked for a long time. "This is... women's clothing? You... you are insulting Zang Zun's words, which is equivalent to insulting Zang Zun. You will be punished!"
Xi Yueyao said, "This dress is perfect for you, and you only asked me to offer you a dress, but didn't ask for anything else? Now tell me where that person is, and I'll burn something else for you after I find him."
The old man was speechless, "... ahem... I calculated that the direction is exactly where 'destiny, deep or shallow, meets'. You go there... Don't forget, when it comes true, you must come back to offer sacrifices to me!"
The fog in the direction the old man pointed to had dissipated a little, and there was a faint glow of fire. Tao Mengyan said to Xun Yuanfeng, "It's not safe for Xiao Xi to be alone. Let's go together, so we can look after each other."
Xun Yuanfeng looked at Wendy, who shook her head and said, "I don't mind. It's an adventure, there's no clear path."
"Okay, let's go together."
Tao Mengyan grabbed Xi Yueyao's hand and said, "Little Sister Xi, let's go together so that we can take care of each other."
Xi Yueyao slightly retracted her hand, but Tao Mengyan held it tightly. "Well... okay, will this be too much trouble for you?"
Tao Mengyan said quickly: "How could that be? We are going to enter Zangling Village anyway."
Paimeng gently hid behind Xun Yuanfeng, "Traveler, this environment is weird."
The group came to a cave with a torch inside. A spirited young man curled up under the torch. When he saw the group coming in, he shouted in fear: "Who? Who...are you? Are you a human...or that...thing?"
Xi Yueyao walked forward, bent down slightly, and asked the spirited young man, "Don't be afraid. I'm a living person. I came to this village to look for someone. Have you ever seen a tall man wearing a mask?"
The curled up spirited young man said to himself: "I've been live streaming for so many years but I've never seen the real thing... Who would have known that this village really had it! There are... so many Buddha statues here, it shouldn't be possible for that thing to follow us in..."
Tao Mengyan said: "These Buddha statues look like ghosts, but who knows what they are. And you ran here knowing there are ghosts. Who can you blame if something happens?"
Tao Mengyan shouted to the alert young man, "Hey, do you hear me?" But there was no response at all.
Xi Yueyao said to the mentally ill young man: "There is nothing here. It is an illusion caused by your fear. Leave here quickly."
When the spirited young man heard about leaving, he immediately shouted, "My phone is gone! Some weird kids...took it away...I'm still live streaming, please...get my phone back!"
Afterwards, no matter how many questions Xi Yueyao asked him, he just huddled in the corner, trembling, and didn't say a word.
