When the sun was about to set, Lao Wen took out an oil lamp from his backpack and placed it on the bedside to light it.
As soon as the flame on the lamp was raised, the room became darker.
Only a small area near the bedside was illuminated by the firelight.
The surrounding shadows swayed with the firelight, and the shadows behind everyone became unstable.
At this time, Lao Wen took out a small box from the side pocket of his backpack and used a mahogany scraper to scrape a smear of grease out of it.
I was relatively close to him at the time, and I could smell a greasy aroma wafting from the oil.
The smell was strong and mixed with a little sweetness.
I suspected that this oil should be a mixture of corpse oil and lard. of.
Lao Wen threw the grease into the lamp pot, and saw that the light jumped violently for a few times, and then slowly stabilized.
"The Yang knot can be removed."
When the light was completely stable, Lao Wen turned around and said to me.
I was a little worried that if I just removed the Yang knot like this, the child's soul might be shaken, but seeing Lao Wen's confident look on his face, I didn't say much and immediately untied all four Yang knots.
Unexpectedly, the child's soul was very stable, showing no signs of shock.
After that, everyone gathered around the bed and waited silently.
When midnight arrived, Lao Wen took out the talisman paper and cinnabar from his backpack, leaned against the oil lamp and quickly drew a talisman.
The talisman paper he took out was the shantang paper given to me by Lao Chen when I went to Xihaigu last time.
After forming the talisman, Lao Wen first recited an incomprehensible chant, then shook his wrist and put the talisman on the child's forehead.
As soon as this talisman was attached, the child's anger suddenly weakened, and the three souls and seven souls floated out from the chest and slowly gathered on the surface of the talisman.
Lao Wen's expression was extremely solemn.
He didn't dare to blink his eyelids.
He stared at the talisman and his breathing gradually became heavier.
After all the souls in the child were extracted, Lao Wen tore off the talisman as quickly as possible, took out a mahogany box from his pocket, folded the talisman in half seven times, and put it in.
This seemingly simple action seemed to consume a lot of Lao Wen's physical strength.
When he put the box back into his pocket, his knees were weak and he almost fell.
Fortunately, Qing Yazi had quick eyes and quick hands and immediately stepped forward to hold him steady. .
Lao Wen waved his hand towards Qing Yazi, indicating that he was fine, then turned his head and said to me with a look of exhaustion: "When the wind blows, light the lantern."
I nodded at him.
Not long after, a cold wind blew outside the window.
At first it was just a strong wind, which made the window panels rattle.
Then the wind became more and more intense, and the sound was like a ghost crying.
The window bolt was inserted into the lock nose, but now it sounded like a ghost.
It's like applying oil, actually Suddenly it fell off by itself, and the two window panels opened with a whoosh.
The dark wind roared into the house, and the quilt on the bed was lifted up by the wind, but the lamp on the bedside was still burning steadily, completely unsettled.
Affected by the cold wind.
I immediately took out the fire stick and lit three lanterns as quickly as possible.
Lao Wen also hurriedly came over and sprinkled three handfuls of cinnabar into the lantern.
Lao Jiang and Lin'er came over to get the lanterns, and Lao Wen said: "Be sure to bring the child's soul back before the right time.
The lanterns in your hands can cover the ghost's eyes and light the way for the ghost."
Time was tight, Lao Wen spoke very quickly, and what he said was very concise.
But I can probably understand what he means.
The so-called covering the ghost eyes should mean that when the three of us go out with the lanterns, no other ghosts can see us except the child's soul.
The so-called lighting the way for ghosts means lighting the way back for the soul of the child.
Without further ado, I took Lao Jiang and Lin'er and set off immediately.
When I came out of the guest room, there were many wandering ghosts gathered outside the door.
Lao Wen had arranged the room early in the morning.

These ghosts did not dare to go in, so they put their heads together and looked into the room along the door.
I took a quick glance and saw that all the ghosts had no specific facial features, and there were only floating white shadows on each face.
Then I felt a little relieved and left quickly.
Ordinary ghosts have no specific form, they are just a flickering shadow.
Any ghost that appears to have complete limbs and is still wrapped in clothes is a vicious spirit ghost that has been washed by the evil wind all the year round and has a certain level of cultivation.
If a ghost has specific facial features, it can no longer be classified as a ghost.
Such ghosts have become demons, and people in the industry also call them "fierce gods."
Fortunately, there is no evil spirit in this place, otherwise, with the cultivation level of people like us, we would not be able to suppress it at all.
After leaving the inn, I left Lao Jiang and Lin'er and walked due west along the road.
The two of them formed a team and walked due south.
The west and two directions of the cottage are backed by mountains and dense forests, and all the ghosts come from these two directions.
At this time, there are still wandering souls gathering along the road towards the inn.
After all, it is close to the mountains and forests.
There are too many wandering souls.
If you want to find the child's soul in this situation, it will not be much different, if not a needle in a haystack.
"Big Black, Little Black."
I stopped and tried to call out.
Hei and Hei haven't appeared in the past few days, and I don't know if the two little things will appear if I call them out of thin air.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw two black figures coming out of the alley on the left.
Who else could it be if they weren't Big Black and Little Black?
When the two of them stopped next to me, I asked them: "Do you know what I'm looking for?"
The two little guys nodded like chickens pecking at rice.
I smiled and waved to the two of them: "Go and find it."
Xiao Hei said "Oh", and Da Hei turned around and rushed into the alley without saying a word.
These two little guys are ghosts after all.
When it comes to finding ghosts, they are definitely better than me.
The wandering souls on the road are becoming more and more crowded.
They seem to be able to sense the cinnabar in the lanterns.
Whenever they are about to come into contact with me, they will take the initiative to avoid me.
But there are too many wandering souls.
At a glance, almost every road and alley is crowded, which is definitely not normal.
It is indeed common sense that there are many wandering souls in the old forests of barren mountains, but most of these wandering souls come from travelers who mistakenly enter the mountains, or hunters who die in the mountains.
Unless this place was once a battlefield, there would be so many people there. trapped inside Moreover, ancient battlefields usually squeeze out a lot of hostility, but after nightfall in this forest, the resentment is only slightly heavier, and there is almost no hostility.
"If not" As I was walking on the road, I heard a big black voice coming from an alley on the right.
When I turned around, I saw it sticking its head out and waving at me.
It seems that Xiaohei must have found the child's soul.
It was already half past eleven in the middle of the night, and seeing that it was almost midnight, I didn’t dare to delay, so I walked over immediately.
Dahei led me through the dark alley and came to the open space in the center of the village.
There were not many wandering souls gathered here.
Xiaohei was standing under a bamboo building.
Beside him, there was still half a broken soul floating around. .
I asked Xiao Hei: "Is it the child's soul?"
Xiao Hei nodded at me very firmly: "Of course."
I still had great trust in Dahei's professional abilities, so I picked up the lantern and waved it in front of the soul.
Lao Wen was right.

This lantern could indeed help the ghost light its way.
When I took the lantern away from the half-remnant soul, it actually started to move along with the movement of the lantern.
I held the lantern and walked quickly towards the inn, with Da Hei following closely behind me.
On the way I asked Dahei: "Why are there so many wandering souls in this place?"
Dahei nodded dullly: "There are indeed quite a few."
Xiao Hei said: "Most of the wandering souls seem to have come down from the underground, and the resentment underground is particularly heavy."
At this time, we just walked to the door of the inn and heard a series of strong buzzing sounds coming from an alley in the distance.
It should be that Lao Jiang summoned a large number of Gu creatures.
The buzzing sound was actually the sound of flying Gu creatures flapping their wings.
I immediately handed the lantern to Dahei: "Take the soul back to the room."
After saying that, I ran away in the direction of the source of the sound, and Xiao Hei jumped up and followed.
I was worried about Da Hei holding the lamp by himself, so I asked Xiao Hei to go back and watch him.
Xiao Hei was a little reluctant, but she couldn't resist me and went back.
I followed the source of the sound and rushed into a deep alley.
Sure enough, I saw Lao Jiang and Lin'er.
They were facing back to each other, staring at both ends of the alley with full body vigilance.
When I saw something was wrong, I scanned the surroundings with Qihai Liusha's vision.
For a moment, I vaguely saw a shadow flashing in the shadows in the middle of the alley.
It seemed to be a huge spider, but I couldn't see it clearly.
It ran so fast that it disappeared in the blink of an eye.
As soon as it left, the flying Gu hovering over Lao Jiang and Lin'er gradually settled down, and the buzzing became much weaker.
I walked quickly to Lao Jiang and asked her what happened.
Lao Jiang said that not long after she and Lin'er entered the alley, the flying Gu she carried became restless.
Just before I came, They also vaguely saw a large spider crawling across the alley.
"Well, I saw that thing too," I frowned, looked at the other end of the alley, and said to Lao Jiang and Lin'er: "Xiao Hei has found the child's soul, let's hurry up and go back Bar."
Lao Jiang curled his lips: "That spider may be a very powerful poison.
If left alone, there may be chaos in the village."
What she meant when she said this was to put it bluntly, she wanted me to chase the spider back.
I could only shake my head helplessly: "Its speed is too fast, and it has already run far away.
Even if I run away, I may not be able to catch up.
Let's go back to the inn."
Lao Jiang turned around and looked at the other end of the alley, then nodded and followed my footsteps.
On the way back to the guest room, the wandering souls gathered in the village had begun to disperse.
As soon as I saw this situation, I knew that Lao Wen must have succeeded
