After finishing, he also followed out. Seeing Director Zhao starting the car, Principal Jin stopped him and handed a red envelope to Cha Wenbin: "Please go back and do some Buddhist rituals for him, and help his soul ascend..."

  Zha Wenbin gave up and said, "Ill take care of the legal matters. You go to Wangzhuang tonight and well leave first." He then signaled to Zhao Suozhang to start the car.

  The village head and Jin Guanlang stayed behind to discuss the details, while the three of them returned to the village first.

  When they arrived at Wang Xins home, Zhao Suozhang said: "Cha Dao Shi, today I really admire your courage to speak out!"

  Zha Zong still wanted to say something, but was pressed on the shoulder by He Lao and shook his head, indicating not to ask anymore. Zhao Zong looked at Cha Wenbins tall figure, seemingly lost in thought.

  That afternoon, Cha Wenbin was sleeping on the bed. Zhao Suo and He Lao were bored, so they played chess in the courtyard. On the side, Zhao Suo asked He Lao about Cha Wenbin. He Lao said that Cha Wenbin was severely frustrated this time, its better not to disturb him. Zhao Suo still didnt give up, asking why Cha Wenbin would have predicted the car trouble? He Lao said if I knew, wouldnt I be a god too?

  Zhao was so impressed with his mental state that an idea suddenly came to mind: he would have liked to resign from his official position and follow Cha Wenbin to learn Taoism!

  At a little past 4 pm, the firecrackers in the village woke up Cha Wenbin who was sleeping. He went out to take a look and found that the hearse had returned. After changing his clothes, he rushed over with He Lao and Zhao Suo Chang. The village entrance was already crowded with people. This family died so tragically! The 8-year-old child was wailing loudly on top of the corpse covered with white cloth. The crying sound shocked everyones hearts, and many villagers also burst into tears. Slowly, all the people cried together in a big ball, and the whole village fell into immense grief. Many people couldnt accept this fact psychologically. However, in this small village of over 100 households, seven people had died this month! Who knows who will be the next to die?

  The director of the gold hall came with JJ team and the village head, everyone helped to carry the bodies into the yard, the door board was placed on a long bench, and the four bodies filled the originally small main room. The wreaths and coffins sent by the county were also carried into the yard. Everyone knew that there was a Taoist priest in the village, and no matter how they tried to shift the blame, it always pointed to him.

  The team leader JJ had the village chief gather the villagers in that same courtyard and announced the results of the settlement: compensation of 600,000 yuan would be paid, which would temporarily be placed in a village account and given to the child when they turned 18 years old. The guardianship would be shared among the village committee and several relatives of the child. Before the child turns 18, anyone who wants to use this money must obtain unanimous consent from these people. The living expenses and tuition fees would be borne by Principal Jin. After the announcement, Team Leader JJ bowed three times to the four people lying down, glanced at Cha Wenbin in the crowd, and left first.

  Director Jin wanted to follow them, but was stopped by Cha Wenbin: "You cant go, stay tonight!" Looking at the row of corpses in the house, Director Jin had seen it all before, but today, his legs were really trembling. Hearing Cha Wenbins words, he could only grit his teeth and stay behind.

  That 8-year-old Wang Jia, had cried until he became a tearful person, knew that the fat man with gold-rimmed glasses in front of him was the one who harmed his parents. He went up and bit Jin Guanzhangs mouth, causing him to wail loudly in pain. The crowd tried to pull them apart but couldnt, until after a piece of skin and flesh had been torn off, the child finally let go. Jin Guanzhang didnt know whether to leave or stay, as every villager looked at him with a desire to beat him up. Looking at Cha Wenbins icy gaze, he still didnt dare take a step out of the yard. After simply bandaging himself, he took a stool and sat in the yard.

  Cha Wenbin didnt bother with him either, thinking of going in to take a look, lifting the white cloth, it was all bloody and blurry, how could anyone bear to touch it, no one dared to touch it, calling over a few relatives to discuss, forget it, just put him directly into the coffin, this scene was really too much, probably no one would dare stay here.

  Young people from several villages carried the bodies out again, and the coffins were just ordinary paper coffins. They found a few brave people, didnt even remove the cloth cover, and directly put them in. In an instant, four coffins were lined up in the main hall.

  Cha Wenbin was just about to arrange the case when he heard a dripping sound, and someone suddenly shouted: "Blood!" He looked down and found that because the coffin was made of paper, the bloodstains inside had already seeped out. Soon, the ground was covered in red, and the smell of blood filled the entire courtyard. Many people had already started vomiting. Cha Wenbin furrowed his brow; such a tragic death would surely produce a vengeful spirit.

  Looking at the blood all over the ground, everyone was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to leave or stay. Zhang Wenbin called the village chief over and asked him to collect some unused plastic film from the greenhouses in the village, and also asked Wangs relatives to buy more yellow paper.

  Before long, several things were delivered. Cha Wenbin spread the membrane on the ground and called over those who had carried the corpse earlier to put on gloves and place the body from the coffin onto the membrane. Those guys, surrounded by people, hesitated and didnt dare to take action. The blood had almost dyed the cloth red. When it was just delivered, the corpse was frozen, but now it had thawed out. Its easy to imagine.

  Cha Wenbin was also helpless, and after finding a few relatives to discuss it, they said that each person would give 500 yuan, but still no one dared to move. At this time, the child who had been crying all along suddenly knelt down in front of everyone, knocking his head on the ground several times, each one hitting the ground heavily. Looking at him, they could only do it for the sake of this sensible child. Seven or eight people lifted the body out again, and when they looked down, the coffin was already a bloody mess.

  Cha Wenbin shook his head, laid a thick layer of yellow paper in the coffin, and covered another layer on the surface of the body. He called for someone to tie up the plastic film, tying it tightly so that no air could pass through, and then re-entered the coffin.

  In fact, after a person dies and is placed in a coffin, they cannot come out again. If they do, its considered to be disturbing the spirit. Those who are taking action tonight will encounter misfortune tomorrow. For now, Zhang Wenbin cant worry about that, he just needs to focus on dealing with this mess first, and then clean up one by one later, get rid of the bad luck.

  Someone was dragged to the ground, and after cleaning up, it was already late at night. The kitchen staff outside sent in some leftovers and chicken and duck dishes as offerings. Cha Wenbin took a look and thought it was about right. He first gave the incense stick to that child, but the child knelt in front of the coffin and didnt get up. Cha Wenbin wrapped it up quickly, inserted the incense stick, and signaled for someone to carry the child away.

  After the vote, Cha Wenbin suggested that everyone go eat first, they had been busy all day and there was still work to be done at night. Fortunately, with consecutive deaths, pots, pans, tables, chairs, etc. were readily available for borrowing. Outside, a temporary platform was set up, three firecrackers were placed on it, and the crowd began to eat. Jin Guanzhang was also exhausted from being tossed around, Cha Wenbin suggested he sit together with himself, next to Zhao Suozhang and He Lao. Trembling with fear, they took a few bites before stopping.

  Today, everyones meal was quite depressing, and no one drank wine. The silence was only broken by the sound of bowls and chopsticks, accompanied by the faint scent of incense and blood in the courtyard, which really made people lose their appetite. Everyone quietly took a few bites before giving up.

  After dinner, everyone waited to see the Taoist priest. Cha Wenbin counted his fingers and reported several zodiac signs, telling them to hurry up and take the elderly and children back home, turn off the lights and sleep, close the doors tightly, while others could stay or go home.

  A sparse crowd walked away, with a few timid ones also leaving. Old Zhang was eager to share the story of his mothers gossip from the previous night with Director Zhao, who listened with a dazed expression, as if he wanted to stretch his neck forward. Many of those who stayed behind had witnessed the first two rituals and naturally knew that tonight would be an extraordinary night, expecting something to happen.

  For those who died suddenly, Cha Wenbin naturally understood it as a great calamity. According to the information he obtained, seven people would die this month, but there was no guarantee for next month or the month after that.

  The most vicious curse we usually use is just that one word: "Light!" This time, only an eight-year-old child was left behind, which can be considered a complete extinction. If the soul cannot be freed today, Wangzhuang will surely suffer a great disaster in the future. The dead person who died unjustly is not included in the cycle of reincarnation and can only wait until his life span ends before he can enter the world again. In the meantime, he will inevitably become a wild ghost.

  Do ghosts have consciousness? Generally speaking, when the soul leaves the body, it has a short period of time to retain its memories. However, as time goes on, it will lose its memories. If there was something that the person was deeply attached to in life, they may still remember it after death due to the strong emotional stimulation, such as a car accident that killed the whole family. The deceased may find it hard to let go of their grief and resentment, especially if they were severely injured, which increases the chances of them becoming an evil spirit or malevolent ghost, posing a threat to those around them in the future.

  Zha Wenbin knew the pros and cons, wanting to take advantage of the beginning when resentment was not strong, it would be much easier to kill; but this family had no great fault, yet they brought such a disaster, he also had a kind heart, with the intention of salvation, wanted to send them into reincarnation as soon as possible, so tonights ritual was not mainly for calming, but for crossing over!
