The difference between a true and false Taoist actually lies not in whether they understand the basic routines, but in the affairs of their hands and their predestined connections.

  Cha Wenbin is this kind of person

  That night, I heard that another Taoist priest had gone to my aunts house, the same one who had saved my little aunt. The onlookers made a crowd and rushed over one after another.

  I was scared to death last night, but I still want to go and get a thrill today. However, Cha Wenbin is someone who will never disappoint others.

  Yesterdays chaotic scene has been cleaned up, the old lady is still sleeping in the coffin, the incense is still burning, and the long sleep lamp below is also lit.

  Outside looks lively, Ren has already squeezed his neck crooked

  Zha Wenbins first words after entering the door almost scared half of the people to death: Take away the paper on your mothers face, lest she suffocate.

  The great uncle is also at a loss, this one dead person still suffocated... Is the Taoist priest sealed?

  Cha Wenbin saw it didnt move, shook his head and went to tear off the yellow paper, and spoke again: Men stay behind, all women go back to their respective homes and close the door.

  At first, those women who were watching the excitement did not want to leave, but then Cha Wenbin said: Those who want to be scapegoats can stay behind.

  After finishing speaking, the treasure sword pointed at the yellow paper that was just picked up, and with a "sizzle" sound, the paper caught fire.

  The women, upon seeing this matter, were afraid that if they didnt leave immediately, they would become scapegoats. One of the women let out a loud cry and ran away, while the others followed suit, scattering in all directions, fearing that whoever stayed behind last would be made the scapegoat.

  After everyone had left, we kids were also driven out and taken home by the women. A group of old men remained on the scene. Cha Wenbin spoke again: "Those who have already bumped into their own wives should go back." Several men scratched their heads in embarrassment and left amidst the laughter of others.

  After closing the big gate, Cha Wenbin said to the people on the scene with a serious face: wait for everyone to sit down, no matter what happens, do not make any noise.

  Then, Cha Wenbin carried the old lady out of the coffin and placed her on the door board. He also asked his elder cousin to change the old ladys funeral clothes into her everyday clothes. Several men were ordered to carry the coffin away.

  The old womans clothes had already been burned, so she hastily put on her cousins clothes and lay down on the board. Zhang Wenbin signaled to turn off the light and instructed them not to be frightened no matter what happened next.

  Then, the altar was set up, and several essential elements before the ceremony were placed on the table. This time, there was only one spirit tablet and incense candles, nothing else.

  Zha Wenbin also sat down, with his hands crossed in a meditation posture, and soon entered a state of concentration. If I had to write about this segment, I could only narrate it from Zha Wenbins perspective, because outsiders only waited for the result without knowing the danger that lay within.

  Actually, Zhang Wenbins move is called Soul Escape. As for why he chose a robust young man, it was to borrow their yang energy, so that he wouldnt end up not returning. If it werent for his grandmothers face, he wouldnt have accepted this task, because the underworld isnt somewhere everyone wants to go.

  This matter should be explained from the time of passing the Fairy Bridge. In ancient times, passing the Fairy Bridge meant sending loved ones to the netherworld, and from then on, yin and yang were separated, people and ghosts took different paths, and sending them there was also considered as accompanying them for the last leg of the journey.

  The old woman tried to cross the fairy bridge three or four times, but she couldnt make it. The reason wasnt that she didnt want to walk, but rather that she simply couldnt walk.

  This Xian Bridge is the way to the underworld, its a must-go path for mortals when their lifespan ends. No matter who you are, even if youre an old lady or a god of death, youll have to walk this path, and the underworld officials will press you to go.

  The old Taoist priest was at most only good at doing rituals, going through the motions, and following established procedures; he could understand some superficial things by rote. But this involved more dealings with gods and ghosts, and not to mention him, even Zhao Wenzhen himself didnt have three-tenths of a chance to try it out - when people and ghosts discuss matters, its not about whether they can talk or not, but rather you cant even find the ghost in question, so how can there be any dealings?

  Cha Wenbin went to find the ghost, because his aunts lifespan was actually not over, she was hooked by a soul, that is, some people who died unjustly, their lifespan was not over, but their physical body suffered damage and could not return to the sun, their souls could not enter the six realms of reincarnation, so they floated outside, must find someone to replace themselves to suffer this hardship, in order for them to go reincarnate, also known as a substitute ghost

  This old woman, because her birth date and time coincidentally matched with someone who died unjustly, inexplicably had her soul taken away while she was sleeping, becoming the substitute ghost for this person who died unjustly. Since after death, her spirit had to wander outside to replace others, unable to enter the underworld, how could she possibly cross the heavenly bridge? She wouldnt take that path, so several times she couldnt get across.

  Cha Wenbin also knew, decided to give it a try. Fortunately, his aunts physical body was still intact. If he could find his aunts soul and get rid of the malevolent ghost, there was still a chance for her to come back to life.

  After entering the state of meditation, Cha Wenbins soul temporarily left the mortal realm and went to the ghost realm, also known as the underworld. As for this matter, going to the underworld is not like buying a train ticket, it requires assistance from certain things, otherwise once you leave, this flesh body has no one to guard it, and may be occupied by other things or encounter some danger on the way, just like Auntie who might never wake up again.

  The time left for Cha Wenbin was actually very short, because he hadnt reached the level of mastery that would allow him to come and go as he pleased, using his yang energy to protect himself. It was only a matter of one incense sticks worth of time. The incense stick he lit was a timer - whether he succeeded or not, before it burned out, he had to return to the mortal world; otherwise, he would lose his way back home.

  These people all have three souls and seven spirits. Cha Wenbin saw that there was still one spirit left on his aunts body, although only a thread of it remained, so he could try to save her.

  After Cha Wenbin entered the underworld, he first looked at the remaining wisp of soul. The three souls and seven spirits are one entity; as long as one spirit remains, it means that Auntie has not left far away, or is still struggling. He performed a spell: Mahavairocana Buddha fixes the three souls, first fixing this wisp to Aunties original body, trying to buy time. Then he rushed directly towards the road of yin and yang.

  At the head of the Naihe Bridge, Cha Wenbin saw two yin messengers pressing down on a soul to cross the bridge. Whose soul was it? It turned out to be the soul of Gu Pos wife. Cha Wenbin blocked them with one move. The yin messengers didnt care about this, as long as you wild ghosts could find a substitute to return and hand over the task, they wouldnt bother to ask who it was. After death, everyone is treated the same.

  After explaining the reason to the yin messenger, he was unwilling to do so because he had been waiting for this task. How could he give up the task that was already in his hands? Cha Wenbin said that his aunt still had 21 years of yang life, why couldnt she replace him with death? The yin messenger said they only took care of bringing people and didnt take care of their yang life, and then he wanted to go in that direction.

  Cha Wenbin blocked again, and the yin messenger was about to take action. After all, you are a cultivator who dares to come to my underworld to snatch souls, which is simply courting death. The yin messengers are also divided into three six nine grades, and these two yin messengers are not even considered to be of good quality, responsible for catching wild ghosts are just some small fry, but Cha Wenbin didnt have the confidence to win necessarily.

  Zha Wenbin looked back and saw that the incense was about to burn out, if he didnt return now, he might have to stay here himself. He looked forward and saw that Meng Po was preparing to pour the soup of forgetfulness.

  "Shout loudly: Yin Cha is leaving, leave this person behind!"

  Those two yin messengers wouldnt listen to a minor daoist like him, and just went ahead...

  Helpless, Cha Wenbin took out the Tian Shi Zheng Dao left by his ancestors and asked: "Two Yin messengers, can you recognize this thing?" The two people stopped and turned their heads to look at it. This kind of thing in the ghost world is also known, and then they turned their heads to measure this little Taoist up and down: "Why would this thing be in your hands? Who are you?"

  "Do you know what this thing is?" Zhao Wenbin originally wanted to scare him, but unexpectedly the object asked him back, so he simply took out that treasured sword.

  Suddenly, one of them pulled out a treasured sword and took several steps back, exchanging glances with each other. One of them, who seemed to be the leader, said: "The Seven Stars Sword? Dont mention the Immortal Path again! We dont want to make things difficult for the Immortal Path. As the head of the Maoshan Sect, you naturally understand the rules of the underworld. If this person has come here and cant take anything back, we wont be able to explain ourselves when we return. Even if the Immortal Path had the Three Pure Ones protection, it would still be difficult to leave the Underworld!"

  Im shocked! This big seal is the Mount Maos leader seal, doesnt that mean that the former Zhen Cang Fa Shi passed on the leadership to our ancestor Ling Zheng Yang? Then... why did our master take the leader seal but was driven down the mountain... this is too strange
