Chapter 72 The Ghost Possessed
In our hometown, newborn babies and dying men and women have to wear some gold and silver jewelry, otherwise they can easily be possessed by ghosts.
The second day of the second lunar month is the annual Ghost Festival. A witch or Taoist priest will set up an altar to invite deceased relatives to come and ask about their future instead of where they came from...
There are two types of ghost worship: possessing one's own body and possessing another's body. If it possesses one's own body, the invited ghost will land on the fortune-teller's own body; if it possesses another's body, the invited ghost will land on someone else's body.
But because people's destinies vary in severity, ghosts are more likely to possess others, so people with a light destinies carry gold and silver to prevent being possessed by ghosts.
As the times change, the custom of summoning ghosts gradually disappeared. Although the original owner mastered this magical power, young people no longer believe in ghosts and gods.
Although ghosts and gods are not invited, the custom of wearing bracelets has been retained, and the original owner also equipped each of his grandchildren with a silver bracelet.
The original owner's eldest grandson was the most promising. He studied well and was admitted to a big city. The original owner was very proud of him.
But when her grandson came home, she found that the silver bracelet on his hand was missing. "Zhigang, where is your bracelet?"
"Grandma, that's feudal superstition. There are so many people outside, but no boy wears a bracelet. Could it be that all the ghosts have come to our village?"
"What nonsense are you talking about? You don't like wearing bracelets, so I'll make you a silver ring..."
"Grandma, I told you I won't wear it. That's feudal superstition. We have to believe in science!"
The original owner had no choice but to secretly put the silver ring on her grandson Zhigang's hand at night.
Zhigang has a light fate and is the lightest person in the whole village. If he doesn't wear some gold and silver, she is worried that he will be taken away by ghosts.
The next morning, Zhigang saw the ring and was so angry that he packed his bags and returned to school.
But under the threat of the original owner, he still wore the silver ring reluctantly.
Unexpectedly, during a physical examination, Zhigang forgot to take off his ring and broke a finger during the MRI process.
So, Zhigang hated the original owner.
While recuperating at home, he pushed the original owner down the stairs, and the original owner died.
[Guagua, check if there are really ghosts in this world? ]
[Host, there really are ghosts in this world. ]
[And Li Zhigang, just as the original owner said, has a very light fate, only two taels and one cent, and is the easiest to be possessed by a ghost.]
[Are there any gossips about Li Zhigang? ]
[Li Zhigang, male, December 2004, , lunar calendar, : a.m.…]
[Let’s talk about the key points. 】
[Li Zhigang joined the Pen Fairy Association at school. He had been wearing the bracelet before, so he didn't get into trouble. But on the way home, a group of little girls laughed at him for being effeminate, so he took off the bracelet.]
In other words, as long as Haoda Sun took off the bracelet, she would not need to make any extra moves and Li Zhigang would be able to commit suicide.
……
"Grandma, I'm back. Is there anything to eat? I'm starving!" Li Zhigang put down his suitcase and slumped down at the stairs.
"I'll give you an egg."
One for you and one for me, Zhang Shan will never treat herself badly.
Li Zhigang finished an egg and felt it was not enough, so he searched through all the drawers and cabinets in the kitchen but couldn't find anything to eat.
"Grandma, is there nothing to eat at home?"
"Yes, here." Zhang Shan pointed to a vegetable field.
"Grandma, are you kidding me? You let me eat vegetables when I get home!"
How about I kill a chicken to entertain you?
Zhang Shan looked at him hesitantly.
"Grandma is old, and the firewood at home has run out. It's a good opportunity for you to come back and help her chop some firewood in the mountains."
Li Zhigang forced a stiff smile and said, "Grandma, I suddenly remembered that I have something else to do at school, so I'll leave first."
"Why don't you stay and have dinner before leaving?"
"No."
Without even opening his suitcase, Li Zhigang left in a hurry.
Grandma Jiang from the next door leaned on her cane and looked towards her house, "Sister, why did I just see Zhigang come and leave?"
"Yeah, he said he had something to do at school."
"He is so busy but still comes to see you. He is such a filial and good child."
A glance is really just a glance.
"Young man, keep yourself busy."
After successfully driving her grandson Li Zhigang away, Zhang Shan planned to take her remaining savings and live in a nursing home in the city. Anyway, her son and daughter rarely came to visit her in a year, and it was really boring for her to take care of a big house.
[System, help me find which nursing home is most suitable for me. ]
After searching the system, it was discovered that the most suitable nursing home for her was not in the province and was very expensive.
[Price is not a problem. I have plenty of money. I just want good conditions, high quality, and neighbors who are not nosy. I can develop some hobbies when the time is right…]
A lot of requirements.
Finally, the system matched a nursing home across several provinces.
[Province A has the most developed economy, and the host can make a lot of money here, and it's far away from your ungrateful grandson. ]
Zhang Shan packed up, put on clean clothes, took her ID card and left the village where the original owner had lived for many years. The scenery in the village was beautiful, but it was very inconvenient for an old man.
I spent a little money, changed my identity information, and came to Province A.
During this period, the system helped her trade stocks, and now she is no longer short of money.
Zhang Shan moved into the most luxurious nursing home in Province A, which was filled with retired bigwigs from all walks of life. She was also a bigwig, so there was no need to feel inferior.
No one knew each other at the beginning, but gradually we became familiar with each other.
"Sister Zhang, are you from Province K?" A man over a hundred years old, leaning on a cane, sat down next to Zhang Shan.
"Yes."
"I've been to your province before, but that was decades ago. We passed by a village where some capable people could summon ghosts. There was a little girl there who said that if I died, she would invite me back to see if we were successful in the afterlife..."
[Host, what a coincidence, he is talking about the original owner, this person really knows the original owner. ]
That's such a coincidence.
"I am from that village, brother. My name is Zhang Shan. You gave me this name. You said your sister's name is Zhang Shan, but your sister is gone, so you gave me this name, hoping that I can live with your sister's part."
The old man's eyes were red when he met his old friend. He didn't expect that someone still remembered such a past of his.
None of his comrades lived to see the founding of the People's Republic of China.
"Sister, you said you could summon a ghost, does that still count?"
"Brother, we must believe in science..."
"I'm an old man who's about to die. Don't talk to me about science. Just tell me whether it's possible or not. I want to take my comrades to see this country for a minute before I die."
Zhang Shan's heart was not hard from birth, and it was hard for her not to be moved by the obsession of her elders.
"You are too stubborn to be invited."
"I'm even worse off. My vitality is too weak..."
It's very easy.
"Then I'll look for them for you. What are the fates of these people?"
Zhang Shan took a look.
Wow, each of them is related to this old man by blood, and they have contributed all their descendants.
Zhang Shan picked and chose and chose a 25-year-old man.
"Is this the only one that fits?"
Zhang Shan...
"I have many comrades in arms, I'm afraid he won't be able to do it."
Wouldn't it drive you crazy if you take turns?
Then, Zhang Shan selected a few more.
"Five? That's fine. I'll have them come over tomorrow. Is there anything they need to prepare in advance?"
"no need."
Zhang Shan's numb face.
After the old man left happily, Zhang Shan closed the door and lay on the bed. [System, do you think I can invite all those people in one go?]
[It will cause the order of the plane to become chaotic, and the host will be strangled by the order. ]
【Oh. 】
Forget it.
Your own life is at stake.
But she still wasn't willing to give in.
Thinking of something, Zhang Shan sat up. [You said there are ghosts in this world, so can we make videos for ghosts and play them in the ghost realm? Let those ghosts who haven't been reincarnated yet fulfill their wishes and reincarnate peacefully?]
[The host can try it. 】
The system was also eager to try. It was also a kind-hearted system, but it was sometimes led astray by Zhang Shan.
Just as the two were racking their brains to think of how to make a "ghost movie", Li Zhigang ran into trouble at school.
The Pen Fairy Association that Li Zhigang joined summoned a very powerful evil spirit. He invited it out but could not send it back. The evil spirit covered Li Zhigang and his body was taken over by the evil spirit.
Li Zhigang's soul was trapped in a small, dark place. He curled up in fear. He regretted that he should have listened to his grandmother, had a fear of ghosts and gods, and wore the silver bracelet.
"Grandma, come and save me..."
Li Zhigang doesn't believe in these things. He joined the association only to prove the correctness of his ideas. Ghosts and gods are all superstitions, and only science is the truth.
The classmates saw that Li Zhigang's whole body was shaking violently, his eyes rolled up, and the whites of his eyes were exposed.
"What happened to him? Was he…"
Something dirty got on you?
The others ran away in fear, but Li Zhigang's body never stopped shaking. The evil spirit controlled his body, and he walked out while shaking.
When his body jumped into the lake, Li Zhigang felt very clearly suffocated. He wanted to struggle, but his body did not obey him at all.
In the end, Li Zhigang drowned in the lake.
On the other side, the old man called all his grandchildren to the nursing home. The five of them looked at each other, not knowing what the old man was doing.
"Don't worry, Grandpa won't harm you."
Zhang Shan secretly complained, that’s not necessarily true.
"Girl, let's start!"
While the five good grandsons were confused, Zhang Shan recited a spell, and suddenly a cold wind blew. The five people felt a chill on their backs, and then they lost control of their bodies.
Seeing his five good grandchildren trembling all over, the old man was a little suspicious, "Don't you need to set up an altar?"
"Need not."
After the five good grandsons stopped trembling, the first one to speak spoke in an unknown dialect, and the old man's eyes lit up.
Then the old man and his five "comrades-in-arms" hugged each other and cried.
"Leave before six tomorrow morning. You can catch up on the past. If you have any last wishes, fulfill them quickly and then have a good reincarnation."
The old man threw it away after use and took his five "comrades" home.
The next day, the old man knocked on Zhang Shan's door again. "Thank you, sister. They left without regrets after seeing our country prosper."
"You're welcome."
Zhang Shan replied numbly.
"My five grandchildren are still resting, so I'll have to trouble you again tonight."
Zhang Shan had anticipated this.
"Do you have other grandchildren? Don't always pick on these few, it will shorten their lifespan."
"I see. I'll make a list for you when I get back."
The old man listed all his descendants, summoned ghosts at different times at night, and drank tonic medicine during the day. One could see with the naked eye that the dark circles under the eyes of his descendants were getting heavier.
Finally, with the efforts of Zhang Shan and the system, they developed a "ghost film" and released it into the ghost realm. Those ancestors who died before the founding of the People's Republic of China saw the prosperity of China today and reincarnated without regrets.
The old man’s descendants finally got a chance to breathe.
They are also willing to provide their ancestors with eyes to understand the world today, but even the healthiest of their bodies cannot withstand such a high intensity of ghost possession.
Without any regrets, the old man happily chatted with Zhang Shan all day long.
Somehow Zhang Shan's name got out and was known to someone who was interested. He brought his juniors to discuss the issue late at night.
Zhang Shan said that being possessed by a ghost can harm the body, so for the sake of the younger generations, she should do it in advance.
