C74 (1/2)

The mute was crouching beside me, frightened but afraid to approach me when he saw me rummaging over his body.

I slowly put the corpse down and told him, ”Big brother, I'm here to help you. Don't be afraid.”

I walked over to the mute. There was a foul air in his spirit door, caused by the teak nail between his eyebrows, and this foul air made him a fool to die.

The mute ghost was continuously retreating. There was no way to communicate with him, how could he send him on his way?

”Big Brother, just wait here!” I'll be right back! ”

I ran back into the town and knocked on the door of a shop that sold useless goods. The owner said, annoyed, ”What do you want to buy in the middle of the night?”

”Who would buy it in the middle of the night?” My crooked argument silenced the boss for a moment.

I went into the shop, picked up some paper money, some candles, and some clothes. When I paid to leave, I saw that there were still some apples on the table in the owner's room behind us.

”Then I want the apple as well!” I put the apple in a plastic bag and paid for it.

When he returned to the mute's corpse, he was still there.

I burned the paper suit and the paper shoes first, and when they were gone, the mute put on the new clothes and shoes I had burned for him.

Light a candle and set the apple on the table.

The mute ghost breathed in the fragrance with all his might and was no longer on guard against me.

”Big brother, how did you die? Can you tell me who did it? ” I asked.

The mute ghost chuckled. I looked at him speechlessly, mute and foolish. What should I do?

As time passed, the foul air on his spirit gate would naturally dissipate, but it would still take seventeen to eighteen years. By then, most likely his spirit energy would be depleted and he would become no different from an animal spirit. No, the mute ghost was killed by someone and had a very heavy grievance, so once the foul air dispersed, he would turn into an evil ghost and not lose too much spiritual energy.

No wonder Tang Le said that it was a disaster to keep it.

”Big brother, can you do me a favor and write it to me?” I handed a thin stick to the mute. The mute took it, sniffed it, and tossed it away.

”Sure, you're the boss!” I stood up. ”I'm telling you, I only have three days to send you on your way. If I can't send you back in three days, you'll have to leave!” It's already been one day and there are still two days left! ”

The mute ghost laughed.

”Even if I say that you don't understand, you are infuriating me!” Disheartened, I lit a cigarette. Looking at the mute ghost's corpse, I suddenly frowned. Ordinary people wouldn't use this kind of evil technique. Thus, the person who killed the mute ghost must also be someone who would die from eating. If he did that, even if the mute ghost was caught by a yin servant, it would be unable to complain.

Since I can't find any clues from the mute, why don't I go into town and look for the one that's dead?

After I reburied the mute's body, I turned around and headed back into town.

I walked through every alley in the town, and finally, at the mouth of a very old alley, I smelled the thick smell of incense.

Following the scent, I came to an old tile house whose living room was lit by red candlelight.

I lit a cigarette and stepped inside. There was no one in the living room. There were several paper men inside, and the walls were covered with black cloth. There was a statue in the direction of the shrine, but it was covered my head, so I didn't know what kind of statue it was.

”Is anyone there?” I whispered tentatively again, and walked slowly inside.

There were two small doors on each side of the throne. According to this type of tiled building, there should be a kitchen behind the tablet. There were two small rooms on each side of the kitchen.

I walked through the little door next to the altar, not the kitchen, but a small statue of a woman on the east wall. I couldn't tell what god it was. However, the eyes of the statue looked strange. Most importantly, the statue was facing west.

Ordinary people would understand the difference in a God's Yin as one, but there was a fundamental difference. Generally speaking, Yin Deviation was of the yin attribute, and in the underground world, it belonged to the yin type. And the gods that we often talk about, most of them refer to the Sun God, which in the three feet of the sky, belongs to the Sun.

To the west was the gates of the dead, facing west. This meant that the deities in the deity statue were in contact with the underworld.

Ask Grandma Mi or go to the deity statue set by the old hag, is facing west, because they are going to the gates of hell to bring their old friends up to ask about things. But I've seen a lot of statues of deities that the old hag put up, and none of them are this way.

The red candlelight and the ethereal cigarette made this strange Goddess even more strange.
