Taishang asks longevity

Chapter 172 Receiving the Souls of the Dead
The Ghost Reaper in the barren hills received Li Changsheng's call, and rushed to the village not long after.

Only three gods of death appeared in front of Li Changsheng.

"Li Daochang..." a god of death said, and saluted Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng nodded slightly with a stern expression.

The three gods of death walked into the mourning hall, facing dozens of dead souls, with a light wave, they put the dead souls into the magic weapon, turned and left.

The night fog gradually deepened, and the darkness became deeper and deeper.

Li Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief after finishing the ritual.

Now that the souls have been sent away, you only need to wait for the next day to send the body to be cremated, and then send the ashes to the ancestral hall in the village.

Li Changsheng called Linglong, and the two went to check on Master Jia.

Master Jia rested for a while, his body has recovered a lot, and his pale complexion gradually returned to blood.

"Li Daochang... I am very grateful..." Seeing Li Changsheng, Master Jia said hastily.

"You're welcome..." Li Changsheng said, "I originally thought that there would be no problems in tonight's ceremony, but I didn't expect..."

Linglong frowned slightly, and asked, "Is someone playing tricks?"

Li Changsheng smiled coldly, and said, "Of course...if it wasn't for someone's tricks, how could it be possible for Master Jia's Taoism to handle these dead souls?"

Although there are a lot of these dead souls, there is no deep resentment in them, no dead souls become fierce ghosts, and under the leadership of Yinsi ghosts, it is impossible for these dead souls to have problems. After simply returning to their hometown to accept worship, Then you can follow the ghosts of the Yin Division to Huangquan Road.

But the underworld ghost messenger disappeared inexplicably, don't you think it's strange?
"Could it be..." Master Jia showed a serious look on his face, looked at Li Changsheng, and hesitated to speak.

Li Changsheng nodded slightly, and said: "That's right... I guess it was Grandma Guigu who did the trick. The ghost messenger from the underworld came back to the village with the ghosts traveling thousands of miles away. He must have attracted the attention of Grandma Guigu as soon as he stepped into the barren hills. Of course... The ghost mother-in-law will naturally not snatch the dead soul from the hands of the underworld ghost messenger. After all, this is tantamount to angering the underworld ghost messenger. Bad, it's tantamount to offending the King of Hades, but...with the ability of Grandma Guigu, it is still possible to forcefully use some means to make the underworld ghosts disappear."

Linglong and Master Jia both showed worried expressions when they heard this.

Li Changsheng sneered, and said: "Presumably that ghostly mother-in-law thought that I might be the one who did it tonight, so she wanted to make a fuss and cause some trouble, but fortunately... nothing happened to the villagers, and the corpse will wait until tomorrow." After being sent to be cremated, I don't need to worry too much about everything, and then I can free up my hands and concentrate on dealing with this ghost mother-in-law."

While the three were talking, the old village chief came over.

"On behalf of the whole village, thank you three." The village chief said tremblingly, and planned to salute the three.

Li Changsheng hurriedly supported the village chief's hands, and said, "Whatever the village chief said...these are what we should do. After a person dies, the fallen leaves return to their roots, so there is no thanks."

After the village head heard this, a faint smile appeared on his face, and he said, "Daoist Li...Although I'm an outsider, we also noticed when you were doing it just now. It seems...something happened?"

The three of Li Changsheng couldn't help being startled.

But Li Changsheng smiled slightly and said: "Accidents are always inevitable. After all, he helped dozens of corpses to summon souls at once, but the village chief can rest assured that everything has been dealt with. The souls that should be extradited have already been extradited, and nothing will happen again." question."

"That's good, that's good..." The village head nodded, and said, "I'm relieved to give an explanation to the villagers after Li Daochang said so."

Li Changsheng said: "It's getting late, the village head has finished handling the matter, go back and rest early! Tomorrow, the cremation of the corpse will still need the village head to lead the scene. If there is something that needs us, the village head can speak up."

"Okay, okay." The village chief said, "Thank you three."

……

After seeing off the village chief, Li Changsheng and the three went back to their residence.

Although the house of the residence is not big, it is convenient to connect three cottages together.The three of Li Changsheng each had a room.

None of the three Li Changsheng attended the cremation ceremony the next day.

After all, this is a matter of the village. In addition, there are many customs in the village, and the procedure is more complicated. The three of Li Changsheng are not from the village, so it is naturally not easy to perform these rituals together.

A simple cremation was busy from early in the morning to the afternoon, and then the ashes of the cremated body were sent to the ancestral hall in the village.

The funeral this time basically shocked the whole village. After all, it involved many people who died, so it was extremely important.

Throughout the day, suona mourning and music resounded in the village, desolate and melodious.

As night fell, the sound became more and more desolate. The villagers had been busy for two or three days, and they basically didn't have a good rest.

After finally sending the ashes to the ancestral hall, all the villagers breathed a sigh of relief, and went back to their homes, freshened up, and had a good night's sleep.

That night, the whole village seemed unusually quiet and peaceful.

The bright moonlight fell on the middle of the village, like a layer of silver-white gauze, hazy.

In the depths of the dense forest, insects and birds are singing, and there is harmony.

All night.

On the second day, early in the morning, warm sunlight shone into Li Changsheng's house.

As soon as Li Changsheng opened his eyes, he heard a knock on the door of the room.

dong dong dong... dong dong dong...

There was a rushing sound.

Li Changsheng called out, "Who is it?"

"It's me...Master Jia..." Master Jia shouted at the top of his voice outside, "Daozhang Li...something happened in the village..."

"problem occurs?"

Li Changsheng was shocked suddenly, and immediately lost all sleepiness, he quickly got up from the bed, and ran to open the door.

Outside the door, Master Jia was panting heavily, with bead-sized beads of sweat on his forehead, and he didn't have time to wipe it off. Seeing Li Changsheng opened the door, he hurriedly said, "Daozhang Li...follow me to have a look! Something happened... ..."

"What's going on?" Li Changsheng frowned.

Master Jia said: "The villagers seem to be sick, and they don't know what happened. Now the medical center in the village is full of people, but...but..."

Master Jia gasped for breath and didn't finish his sentence for a moment.

"But what?" Li Changsheng asked hastily.

Master Jia took two deep breaths, grinned, and said, "But...even the doctors in the hospital are sick."

"All sick?"

Li Changsheng's eyes widened, and he hurried back to the room, took out his clothes and put them on, and said, "Go... Come and take a look with me..."

As soon as he finished speaking, he hurried out of the house and rushed towards the medical hospital in the village.
