Concubine Allure: Pick up a prince and grab the country

Chapter 435 Chapter 481

Yan Jinxiu said aggrieved and timidly:

"Mother, I can't control myself, I'm afraid that Ling'er's ghost really—"

"Shut up!" Ji Wenshuang stopped Yan Jinxiu suddenly, and continued:

"How many times has mother told you that there are no ghosts in this world, so don't scare yourself when you have nothing to do."

Yan Jinxiu pouted.

"Got it, mother."

Ji Wenshuang took a deep breath, calmed down, and said after a while:

"Nurse Li said that no one in the mansion dares to be your personal maid anymore. The girl next to you just came to the mansion not long ago and doesn't know anything about the mansion. Remember to treat your personal maid well. , don’t scare people away anymore.”

Yan Jinxiu bit her lip and wanted to refute, but Ji Wenshuang gave her a glare, so she nodded and replied dully, "I see."

After staying and having dinner, Xiaoxiao accompanied Yan Jinxiu back to Fengqi Pavilion.

After being frightened last night, Xiaoxiao will follow Yan Jinxiu every step of the way.

Xiaoxiao is a clever girl, she really did what Yan Jinxiu said, do more and talk less.

After Yan Jinxiu lay down, Xiaoxiao took a pot of unknown liquid, dipped it in her hand, and sprinkled it around the door frame and the window lattice.

Yan Jinxiu frowned and asked her:

"What are you doing?"

Xiaoxiao put down the basin, and replied respectfully:
"Second miss, please forgive me. According to the customs of the servant's hometown, if a newcomer dies in the mansion, the ghost will still stay in the mansion. The servant will sprinkle some rice wine on the windows and door without authorization to attract the ghost."

Yan Jinxiu stared at Xiaoxiao with a bit of wariness in her eyes.

"How do you know this?"

Xiaoxiao neither arrogant nor humble replied:

"The servant's grandfather is a Taoist priest, so he understands a little bit."

It turned out that Xiaoxiao's grandfather was a Taoist priest, Yan Jinxiu felt relieved, and sat up in a flash of inspiration.

"Since you know how to exorcise ghosts, then tell Miss Ben more about exorcising ghosts."

Xiaoxiao said slowly:

"I heard from my grandfather that ghosts are divided into happy ghosts and unjust dead ghosts. A happy ghost is a ghost that has died of an accident or died unexpectedly. This kind of ghost will obediently follow black and white impermanence and go down to the underworld to be reincarnated. But unjust dead ghosts usually die because of hatred, so The ghost has a lot of resentment. When it just dies, the ghost will hide in the familiar chassis and will not leave. If it does not leave for more than seven days, Black and White will come up to hook its life. If the ghost escapes Black and White's hook, it will become an orphan. A wild ghost, floating in the world, will try every means to entangle the murderer who killed her, so that the murderer will never be at peace."

Yan Jinxiu felt terrified when he heard it, and looked at Xiaoxiao half-believingly, "You, are you telling the truth?"

Xiaoxiao shook her head, as if she didn't believe it and said: "I don't know if it's true or not. The grandfather of this servant is a Taoist priest. The latest superstitious thing is to worship ghosts, and he turned it into the work of attracting souls for ghosts. The servant has been fascinated by it since childhood. So that's all I know."

Instead, Yan Jinxiu asked Xiaoxiao eagerly.

"Then, how to supersede ghosts?"

Xiaoxiao shook her head, frowned, and said: "This servant doesn't know. The grandfather of this servant died early. At that time, this servant was still young and didn't know much about it."

Yan Jinxiu seemed to have found a savior, and asked again:

"Then do you know how to exorcise ghosts?"

Xiaoxiao thought for a while and said:
"I have heard from my grandfather that the ghosts of the newly dead will linger in the underworld where I live. It is said that after you sprinkle flour next to the coffin, you can see the footprints left by the ghosts coming in and out of the coffin the next day. , it proves that this ghost has a lot of grievances and refuses to leave. If you want to send her ghost away, you need to burn paper in the southeast corner of the place where this person lived before, facing the scene where she died. If there is water, the river god will convey the paper burner's confession to Hei Wuchang, and Hei Wuchang will come up to the coffin in advance to forcibly snatch away the person's soul and return to the underworld to reincarnate."
