Chapter 9: The Rule of Never Asking

At this moment, the sound of a ringing bell came to my ears...

The tongue of the bell hit the frame, as if it was also hitting my eardrum. After shaking it for a few times, Grandma Bai's voice came: "Jiang Cheng, wake up!"

"Grandma Bai," I wanted to respond, but when I opened my mouth, no sound came out.

"Wake up, don't be confused by things, open your eyes!" As Granny Bai called, I also wanted to open my eyes, but it felt like being pressed into bed by a ghost. More

It's a feeling of powerlessness.

It wasn't until there was a slap on my face... After the sudden "slap" sound, I suddenly opened my eyes and woke up. There was a burning pain on my face.

"Wake up, wake up!" Wang Laozhao squatted aside and exclaimed: "Grandma Bai, this kid is really awake!"

I looked at Mr. Wang indifferently. After a while, I jumped up like a hair, and pulled Granny Bai: "Grandma, I, I just saw..."

"Shut up!" Grandma Bai looked sideways, her face scarier than a ghost, staring at me: "What do I tell you on weekdays? Don't say anything when you see it, don't ask anything when you hear it."

"Yes!" I responded tremblingly, standing behind Granny Bai in fear.

Wang Laojie still looked concerned, stretched out his hand to explore my head, and said that my forehead was so hot that I must have caught a cold while sleeping.

Granny Bai glared at me: "You dare to sleep in a place where the dead are buried... If she doesn't tease you, who else will she tease?"

"Me," I said dumbly, knowing that I was wrong. But when I thought about what happened just now, I really thought it was a dream, but the fear was very real.

Let me ask, if it was really just an ordinary dream, wouldn't I have woken up long ago?

As I was thinking about this, Wang Laozhao on the side was also comforting me: "It's okay, Brother Jiang. In fact, I fell asleep here just now and had a weird dream."

I swallowed: "What did you dream about?"

Mr. Wang was still worried: "I, I fucking dreamed that I gave birth to a baby right next to the stove."

It’s actually the same as my dream? I feel numb all over!

In the frightened moment, Granny Bai snapped her fingers in front of her eyes: "Don't remember it when you wake up from the dream, or you will be confused by those dirty things again..."

"Yes!" I nodded tremblingly.

Then Granny Bai put the seven gold and silver bridges at the door. She muttered for a while, then put candles and incense and burned the paper clothes of ghost coins. Finally, she lit the seven gold and silver bridges together.

Wang Laozha asked me in a low voice: "Brother Jiang, what is Granny Bai doing?"

I explained: "Building a bridge between mountains of gold and silver is to open the way for the deceased, so that he can bring the mountains of gold and silver down to serve as judges. After enjoying enough blessings down there, he can have a good pregnancy in the next life. But..."

"But what?" Wang Laozhao asked with concern.

I said: "The Gold and Silver Bridge has burned out, but the shape of the bridge has not collapsed, which means that the soul of the deceased has not stepped on the bridge and walked on the road. This means that she is still staying in the Yangshi."

Wang Laocheng asked me hurriedly: "What should I do?"

"Don't worry," I believed, "Grandma Bai is very capable."

While talking, Granny Bai rang the bell and called out the Queen Mother's name...but the incense candle did not swing, and she did not answer the call.

Helpless, Granny Bai shook her head and said that the Queen Mother was obsessed with her and refused to go on the journey.

After saying that, he asked Wang Laoxi again: "How did your mother die?"

"You have asked me this three times," Mr. Wang said with squinting eyes: "My mother really died in the hospital and did not survive the surgery the next day."

Grandma Bai believed it and immediately asked him to find a bowl and fill it with half a bowl of rice...

The guilty-minded Mr. Wang naturally did not dare to ask any more questions. After finding the things and giving them to Granny Bai, while burning the talisman in front of Granny Bai's altar, he quietly asked me: "Grandma Bai, what are you doing?"

Although I don’t understand yin and yang, after following Grandma Bai for two years, I know that Grandma Bai’s question about rice is one of his yin and yang methods. I also told him with great interest that if the soul wants to understand yin and yang, we must use rice, because rice can open

You still have to take pictures of the Yin-Yang Road, because taking pictures can open the door to hell.

Throwing rice can invite the ghosts of the dead...but there is also a rule of not asking about three things when asking about rice. Don't ask about close relatives, don't ask about the souls of people who died in vain, and don't ask about nameless people.

Wang Laozhao was stunned when he heard this: "What will happen if you violate these three no-questions rules?"

I just thought he had misunderstood the question of not asking about close relatives, and told him not to misunderstand. When he said "don't ask about close relatives," he was referring to Granny Bai's close relatives and had nothing to do with him.

"No," Mr. Wang said in a scratchy voice like a mosquito, "What would happen if I asked about the soul of someone who died in vain?"

"Did your mother die in vain?" I widened my eyes.

He trembled: "Ru, what if it is?"

"The reason why there is a rule of "no questions" is that I am afraid of being haunted by resentful ghosts!" My whole body was numb, knowing that Granny Bai must have been deceived by Wang Laozhi, and there must be some hidden secret in this matter.

I immediately warned him that if the Queen Mother really died a tragic death, then the innocent ghost invited by Wenmi would not only not go on the road, but would also take the opportunity to seek debt from him.

Only with these words did Wang Laoji realize the seriousness of the problem, but when he tried to stop Granny Bai from spilling the rice, it was already too late. Granny Bai was chanting the Queen Mother's name and death taboo, and had already grabbed the bowl.
