1295 Ghost Raises His Foot

omancy cult"Bang!!" A rock flew over and smashed the window!Our conditioned reflex to duck and cover, our hands floundering, the large-headed infant spirit immediately broke free from its shackles and...At his birth, Yu Gui and You Nan were extraordinary. You Nan's "non-poisonous" soul was added by Jiang Qiyun, and his eyes were just like Jiang Qiyun's, able to see ghosts and demons from birth.

Although You Nan was young, he was subject to Jiang Qiyun's strict requirements. He diligently memorized the Daoist scriptures, never slacking off or being lazy.

It's much easier for her to get away with things, she is a girl after all. Jiang Qiyun sees her being coquettish and only raises his hand to gently tap her forehead, letting her play by herself without making too many demands.

So, Yu Gui's language abilities need to improve a bit more. She speaks softly and sometimes I have to act as her "translator."

But she kept saying "Piggy, Piggy," which really puzzled me. I wonder what she saw

I turned my head to ask Old Chen, who was wearing an apron and putting dinner on the table: "Hey, do we have anyone raising pigs around here"

Mr. Chen was stunned: "Miss, are you joking This is a commercial and cultural district. Everyone here is in business. Who would raise pigs at home Even in the residential area by the artificial lake, no one would raise pigs at home."

"Wouldn't anyone raise those kind of pet pigs" My brother said while stealing a bite, "Those that are the size of your palm when you buy them, but after half a year they weigh 200 pounds. You can't bear to slaughter them, and you don't know where to abandon them. You can only take them out for a walk to prevent them from growing to 500 pounds, turning your house into a pigpen."

When things don't go as expected, children who are eager to express themselves but aren't understood by adults can feel quite down.

I quickly comforted her, saying, "Next time you see it, call Mother right away, okay It's a shame Mother didn't get to see it."

My brother took Yu Gui back and placed him on the small dining chair to coax him. In a short while, Yu Gui giggled and playfully patted his uncle's face.

Although my dad is away and my sister-in-law is taking the kids back to her parents' home to recuperate, there are still many people at home, so dinner was quite lively.

My sister-in-law is Lin Yanhuan's younger sister, she also comes from a prominent family. When Lin Yanhuan fell into a coma, she immediately took her children back to her parents' home, which was actually a soothing strategy in an emergency.

For the sake of the child, the Lin family wouldn't put too much pressure on us. They quietly sealed off the news and appropriately monitored Shen family and my whereabouts, demanding that I find the root cause as soon as possible.

Jiang Qiyun went to see Lin Yanhuan and Shen Jian's disciple, Shen Yan. He said they were restless but nothing serious, so there was no need to worry or seek treatment hastily.

The Shen Family Treasure Vault is still clearing rubble and dust, sorting through scrolls and artifacts. The Reincarnation Bead has gone missing. Thinking about all of this sends shivers down my spine.

"...Old hag, aren't you a witch Can you interpret dreams" My brother asked the old woman sitting beside him while eating.

The old woman wrinkled her nose and snorted, “I’m just a barefoot doctor. What witch That was centuries ago.”

"Don't deny it! You still know Old Madam Tai, the witch of Xiao Yinluo. You both belong to the same system. Can't you give us younger generations some guidance Xiao Qiao has been having strange dreams lately. Help us figure them out," my brother urged.

The old woman looked at me with concern: "Girl, what did you dream about"

"Nothing much, just always dream of a big full moon, its moonlight white as snow." I turned my head and recalled, "There's nothing else particularly special."

The old woman squinted her eyes and pondered for a moment before saying, “Dreaming of the moon is mostly a good omen, but if you dream of a lone moon hanging high in the sky, it's a sign that your feelings will be stirred up…”

She paused for a moment and smiled, "How about I make you a sleep-inducing sachet It can promote husband-and-wife feelings..."

My brother almost burst out laughing. He coughed twice and said, “You old gossipmonger, you can't talk about anything but what happens in the house! What kind of doctor are you, anyway”

The old woman sat in her rocking chair, lazily replying: "You young ones don't understand... Balance between yin and yang is good for both body and mind. When you get older like me, if you want to find out about things in this house, I'll be long gone, unable to help you..."

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like translated!

"Why are you saying this... You're blessed with good health, and you can live to be 105." My brother quickly interrupted her.

"Grandpa, could you live to be 100, 200, or even 300 years old" Yu Guiye pouted.

"Oh my, my little fairy! Just hearing you call me grandma adds years to my life!" the old woman said, her face beaming with joy.

At the reunion, he called out to her many times. The old woman laughed with joy, her face crinkled with wrinkles, so happy she could eat an extra bowl of rice.

I saw the joyful scene at the dinner table. Privately, I told my brother, “Yu Gui wouldn’t talk nonsense out of the blue. You should pay attention, I'm worried there might be some demons…”

"Aren't demons and ghosts coming to our house just to get abused" My brother frowned and said, "I'll check around tonight, and have Da Bao go pay respects to the land gods, see if there's any 'pig pig' appearing."

It's rather amusing, actually. We got quite worked up just to come up with the phrase "Piggy."

Yu Gui and You Nan are now sleeping in my room, so Jiang Qiyun won't be as "free" as before, which is why my dad said we need to add a children's room.

Even though the two little kids are going to bed soon, they still want to read a book and I have to tell them some idioms stories.

After all the children were asleep, I went out to check the doors and windows of the house, and waited for the patrolling Celestial Emperor to appear.

As July 15th approaches, some people have already started burning incense paper.

Now the city has strict controls, very few people are burning paper offerings at street corners. In our cultural district, almost every household has a "treasure chest."

Burning paper money this way is very convenient and hygienic. After burning, just close the lid and take the ash home for disposal, without any safety hazards.

In some places, the custom is to burn paper money for deceased relatives starting on the 13th and 14th of the seventh lunar month.

I heard laughter and voices from the back gate: “Just leave it here, this is the crossroads.”

"Wasn't it said we were going to the crossroad"

"The crossroad is so far! And there are so many people coming and going, it's just too foolish to watch... This is the road in front of my house, let's burn it here."

From the small window on the door, I saw a few young men at the alley entrance. They were lighting joss paper with a treasure chest and taking photos with their phones while burning it, laughing and joking around.

"I forced myself to say, "Burning paper is also about remembering our ancestors. You guys should be more respectful."

A little girl looked up and smiled, "Sorry, we're being a little loud."

It's not about being loud or quiet, it's about attitude. Making paper offerings isn't something new, and you laugh and make noise while filming it on your phones You should be respectful and solemn... Plus, you're in the wrong position, and you didn't draw a circle to leave an opening.

When burning paper money, draw a circle on the ground to declare who it is for. Burn a few outside the circle for passing ghosts, then place the “treasure chest” of paper money inside the circle and burn it for the deceased ancestor.

These young people seem to be having a bonfire gathering, laughing and joking with their phones. They might as well not have come at all.

"Who is this guy, so nosy, minding his own business..." a young man said to me with displeasure.

"Come on, come on, let's go to the front and transform again…"

As I watched them run away with their stove, I let out a long sigh. Where did my awe go

A soft chuckle echoed through the courtyard.

I turned back to see Jiang Qiyun standing under the eaves, her arms crossed, smiling at me.

The lantern light from the Lantern Court cast a halo around his profile, and I was stunned.

He chuckled and said, "My dear wife, you shouldn't worry about these little things. Being too kind isn't always good."

"What's wrong" I asked, frowning.

"When it was time for bed, you weren't in your room waiting for me. That's not good," Jiang Qiyun smiled, rubbing my brow. "Don't let me see you frowning…"rother or sister. Even if I heard they went to the underworld, I would think it was perfectly normal.The little mistress pouted and said, "Oh, there's a parent-teacher conference at Gluttonous Wolf Sc...
