The night was gloomy and silent. In Wang Laoshi's house in Huangyan Village, the hustle and bustle of people coming and going during the day had gradually dissipated, leaving only a solitude thicker than night.

In the small courtyard of Wang Zaishi’s home, there is a mourning hall for the child. On the mourning hall is the only personal photo of the child. This was his birthday a few days ago. Wang Laoshi took him to the city I went to take a picture of him, but I didn't expect it to be the last picture of this child left in the world.

Today is Xiaoshan's first seven days. According to the rules of Nanyuan Town, this day is the last time for departed relatives to go home to visit.

So whether it was relatives, friends, or neighbors, they all consciously left before dark, intending to leave this special time for Wang Laoshi and his wife.

Aunt Wang squatted in front of the mourning hall, shedding tears and burning paper money for her son, because the one who left was a junior, and the child Xiaoshan died young, so no one dressed him in mourning, even Wang Laoshi and his wife They are also taught from time to time that they should let go, so that the child can go away with peace of mind and have a good pregnancy in the next life.

Although people are persuading him like this, Xiaoshan is the only son of Wang Laoshi and his wife after all, so he just went like this. It is impossible to say otherwise. Wang Laoshi stood in the yard and looked at the mourning hall blankly. With the candlelight fluttering and flickering in the night wind, he was in a daze thinking about something.

As the child's hour slowly arrived, Aunt Wang, who had been squatting on the ground burning paper money, began to feel restless. From time to time, she raised her head and looked out of the yard, wondering why Chen Ze hadn't come yet.

Just when she was looking forward to see through, Chen Ze walked into her house slowly with a small satchel on his back, Mrs. Wang stood up immediately, limping regardless of the burden on her legs from squatting for a long time. He limped towards Chen Ze and walked over.

Wang Laoshi also came back to his senses at this time, he walked over to support his wife, and the couple came to Chen Ze together.

Aunt Wang's family anxiously said to Chen Ze: "Xiao Ze, how is it? Can we see the hill today?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Ze took out a small bottle of liquid from his satchel and handed it to them, saying: "This is water made from a magic talisman mixed with cow's tears. Putting this on a person's eyelids will have the effect of opening the eyes of the sky. Today is Xiaoshan's top seven, and the errand will definitely bring Xiaoshan's soul back to visit you, and when I come to deal with the errand, you should hurry up and talk to Xiaoshan."

Aunt Wang's family heard the words and took the bottle from Chen Ze, dipped her trembling hands into the liquid inside, smeared it on herself and her husband, and waited for the messenger to bring Xiao Shan over.

The time passed by every minute and every second, and more than half of the time had passed, but the ghost had not yet seen Xiao Shan's soul coming, Wang Laoshi and his wife were a little anxious, Aunt Wang thought about it and said To: "Xiao Ze, look at this time, and you haven't seen anyone bringing Xiao Shan over, could something have happened? Or Xiao Shan can't get through tonight, we can't see him?"

These few words of Aunt Wang's family were all said with a crying sound. She really missed her child so much. Being able to see her child again is the only belief that has kept her from falling down these days. This belief is gone, and Aunt Wang doesn't know what she will become.

Chen Ze's heart is beating drums now, he is doing everything according to Shi Gong's orders, even the refined talisman water has been tested in advance, and he dares to take it if it is guaranteed to be effective It was used by Wang Laoshi and his wife.

But now that everything is ready, Xiao Shan's soul has not appeared for a long time, and the time is almost over, and it will be tomorrow, so Chen Ze himself can't help feeling a little anxious.

However, the first seven souls are stipulated by the inscriptions of the underworld, and there has never been any change in the past thousands of years. Unless they are the most heinous people, they will be sentenced to hell to serve their sentences on the day they are sent to the underworld, depriving them of their life. The right to meet your loved ones again on the night of returning to the soul, otherwise, at any time, the servants will have to act according to the law.

Xiaoshan is a five or six-year-old child, how many mistakes he can make, and how many mistakes he can make. How can you say this, the child is not a heinous crime, how could the underworld not let him Back to the soul?

At this moment, Shi Gong, who had been hiding in the dark all this time, suddenly appeared in front of everyone and said to Chen Ze: "My lord, don't worry, I have already asked A Ding to go to the underworld to find out for us. I’m sure there will be news coming back soon.”

Wang Laoshi and his wife stared dumbfounded at the man who suddenly appeared in the yard of their house. If he hadn't heard him speak in a clear and orderly manner, and his demeanor didn't look unusual, just relying on this man's strange appearance, The two of them thought that some kind of mental disorder had come to their house.

Chen Ze obviously didn't expect the sudden appearance of Shi Guihui, but he reacted very quickly. Taking advantage of the time when Wang Laoshi and his wife were still in a daze, and their natural attitude, he introduced to the two of them: "This is Shi Gong, he is the friend I told you before, who can help."

Wang Laoshi went over to thank Shi Gong when he heard the words, but her wife, Aunt Wang, just now heard clearly what Shi Gong called Chen Ze, her face changed as if she remembered something, and then secretly pinched herself husband.

Wang Laoshi received the secret signal from his wife, looked at her very puzzled, and thought that she came to help us, why don't you let me go up and say hello.

Knowing that her husband is honest and honest, Aunt Wang not only rolled her eyes secretly, but she still held her husband tightly to prevent him from getting closer, because she knew that if she guessed correctly, the person on the opposite side The strangely dressed man who suddenly appeared was definitely not someone the two of them could talk to.

Shigong chose to turn a blind eye to the small private actions of the Wangs and his wife. All he cared about was Chen Ze who was enshrined to him. To him, other mortals were no different from flies, insects, and beasts.

They waited for a short time when A Ding, dressed as a night wandering god, appeared in front of them. A Ding walked up to Shi Gong respectfully, and said to him in a low voice, "You asked Xiao Ke to investigate the matter." , Xiao Ke has already gone to the underworld to check. There is no record of a six-year-old boy named Wang Xiaoshan going to the underworld these days. According to the life and death tree of Lifan City, the cause of Wang Xiaoshan's death was not an accidental death, but being murdered as a coward."

As soon as A Ding finished speaking, Wang Laoshi and his wife, who had been paying attention to the movement on their side, broke out at that time. Aunt Wang couldn't control any scruples at this time. She rushed over and grabbed A Ding and said: "Little brother!" , you make it clear, you said my son was killed by someone, right?"

Seeing this, Chen Ze hurriedly pulled her away. Even if A Ding was being kind, he was a god. If he thought Aunt Wang was disrespectful to him, he would suffer.

A Ding didn't care about the aunt Wang's confrontation with him. On the contrary, he explained like the Wang family couple: "The record in the life and death book is a crime, that is to say, the person who killed your son should be some kind of evil spirit." The soul of your son has not been received in the underworld so far, which means that he should be trapped in a certain place now and cannot get out."

Aunt Wang's family also knows some tricks. She knows that the soul is trapped, which means that her son can't go to the underworld. A lonely ghost, wandering around with nowhere to go, will be beaten by all the gods patrolling the underworld as evildoers, and will never be reborn.

Aunt Wang, who knew the seriousness of the matter, immediately pulled her husband, and knelt down in front of Mr. Shi with a 'plop', touching the ground with her head, and the bluestone slabs on the ground made a thumping sound.

While kowtowing, Aunt Wang said: "I know that Mr. is very capable, please save my son, he was only six years old, and he was killed by a monster, and now he can't even find his soul. As a parent, now my heart hurts more than being cut by a knife."

Mr. Wang also understood what was going on now, and now he kowtowed to Shi Gong with his wife, and said while kowtowing: "The two of us are parents who are incapable of replacing Xiaoshan, please let me know. Show mercy and save my son, I will treat you like an ox and a horse in this life, the next life, and every life after life, and I will repay your great kindness."

Chen Ze was startled by this trial, and it took him a long time to react. He hurried to pull Wang and Honest couple. Who knew that the knees of the couple seemed to be rooted in the ground, and they couldn't pull them up no matter what. Under such circumstances, Chen Ze had no choice but to help them intercede.

Shi Gong's eyes lightly swept over Wang Laoshi and his wife, and there was no change because of their kneeling, but he still confessed to A Ding: "You go to the land lord. , ask him to check it out, what kind of monsters have appeared near Nanyuan Town in the past few decades, come back and give me an answer after asking."

Hearing this, A Ding took the order to leave. At this time, Shi Gong said to Wang Laoshi and his wife who kept kowtowing to him on the ground: "Since I have already agreed to the matter, I will naturally take care of it to the end. You and your wife Do you have your son's nails or hair in your hand? It would be much easier if you had some."

Aunt Wang raised her head when she heard the words, she didn't care about her broken forehead, and said to Shigong: "Yes, when we Xiaoshan was just born, we cut his lanugo hair and gave it to him in my cabinet. He kept it, and I'll go get it for you."

After speaking, Aunt Wang got up and ran into the house. After a while, she took out a small cloth bag, which contained the lanugo hair she had cut for her son Xiaoshan.

Shi Gong pinched up the handful of lanugo hairs and muttered something in his mouth. After a while, the lanugo hairs detached from Shi Gong's palm and turned into a small bright spiritual fire, floating in the air.

After Shigong finished these, he said to Aunt Wang: "Since your son was killed by a monster, his soul must still be in the hands of that monster. This spiritual fire is caused by your son's lanugo hair." Hua, born to remember the breath of the master, you call your son's name to it now, and it will lead us to find it."

Aunt Wang wiped her tears when she heard the words, and tremblingly called out her son's name. After hearing her call, Linghuo flew out along the gate lightly.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly followed. Wang Laoshi staggered when he got up because he knelt down for too long just now, but he struggled to stand up, reached out and took out the shovel standing behind the door, held it in his hand and followed behind everyone.
