After everything was done, Uncle Zhang and the troupe leader rushed over. They looked at the two tombstones and bowed a few times.
In front of the tombstone were snacks, fruits, roast chicken, and wine glasses filled with liquor.
After he was ready, Lin Yi began to chant the Resurrection Mantra.
The emperor's edict, surpass your lonely soul, ghosts and spirits all, four lives will be stained with grace
The headless man was killed with a gun and a knife, and the headless man was hung with a rope.
Death in the light, death in the dark, injustice, injustice,
Kneel in front of my table, the Eight Trigrams shine, stand on the ridge and come out, reincarnate elsewhere
Be a man or a woman, bear the responsibility yourself, rich or poor, by your own choice
Edict to save the people, hurry to be reborn, edict to save the people, hurry to be reborn
This curse of salvation and rebirth combined with the sound spell was a spell used by the Maoshan Sect to ferry souls.
A few hours had passed since he dug up the graves of the two ghosts and erected a monument to pay his respects to them. It was already past four in the afternoon when he returned to Niu Town.
The troupe master had already asked the women in the troupe to buy food. Today, they were holding a banquet in the rented inn to thank Lin Yi and reward everyone in the troupe.
Ah Gui and the others went to sleep. They had not slept for a night and had been tormented until now. They were all very sleepy.
Lin Yi chatted with Uncle Zhang and the troupe leader for a while. Seeing that the sky was about to turn dark, the food and wine were almost ready. There were already many dishes and wine on the table. Everyone sat around and chatted, waiting for the banquet to begin.
"Sigh, when I woke up, the entire troupe was sleeping in the graveyard. The silver notes in the money box had also turned into ghost coins. Don't you think this is strange?”Uncle Zhang talked about the past thirty years ago. This matter was very strange, enough to make him remember it for the rest of his life.
"It's so scary. This is too strange.”Qingqing got goosebumps when she heard that. She hugged Lin Yi's arm and shivered.
Lin Yi smiled and said," Uncle, your entire troupe has been bewitched by ghosts. This is called ghosts covering your eyes. However, it seems that the show you performed at that time was absolutely good and satisfied those ghosts. Otherwise, they wouldn't have given you so much money. Haha, up until now, I've only seen ghosts collect money, but I've never seen ghosts take money out.”
"Haha, Priest Lin, you're right. Thirty years ago, everyone in the opera world knew about Zhang Sheng. Only Zhang Sheng could act as the Eighteen Arhats Capturing the Great Roc.”The troupe master praised. It was obvious that he was sincerely praising her.
"Sigh, it's all in the past. I can't do a somersault now.”Uncle Zhang smiled and waved his hand.
Time waits for no man. Thirty years had passed, and he was almost fifty. Of course, he couldn't move anymore.
"Hearing Uncle Zhang and Uncle Class Head say this, I want to travel back 30 years and enjoy Uncle Zhang's stunning performance.”Lin Yi was telling the truth. This was the first time he had heard of the Eighteen Arhats capturing the Great Roc. However, it was definitely true that the ghost was willing to pay for it.
"Eh, these brats are up.”The troupe leader looked at the group of people who entered the door. It was Ah Gui and the others who had dug the pit last night.
"Uncle, class master, is there anything we can help you with?”Ah Gui and the others ran over with smiles. Although they had only slept for a few hours, they had already recovered their spirits. It had to be said that being young was good.
"Go help out in the kitchen.”The troupe leader said with a smile.
"Hey, let's go. Let's go to work."
"Hehe, I love helping out in the kitchen.”The robust Ah Biao said happily.
"You only know how to leer at Sister Li. Helping is fake, but peeking at Sister Li is real.”Ah Guang smiled and exposed him.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. I'm not.”
"Haha, you still don't want to admit it. Taoist Master Lin said that good people become good ghosts when they die, and evil people become evil ghosts when they die.”
"Hey, then what the hell are you going to become after you die?”
"I'll live to a hundred years old."
"That is Old Ghost."
"Hahaha."
……
The few of them went to the kitchen to play around. It was obvious that these people were in a good mood because the ghost matter had been resolved.
However, was it really resolved?
Lin Yi frowned slightly. The sky outside was already dark. He believed that the evil ghost would chase after him in a while.
If a ghost wanted to be reincarnated as a human, on one hand, it needed to be ferried away. On the other hand, it needed to turn into a ghost after death and not harm anyone.
If they harmed people and damaged their Yin virtue, the underworld would not accept them. They would only become lonely ghosts and then slowly be forgotten by people and disappear.
According to Uncle Zhang, the stage in Niujia Town had a long history. A long time ago, there was a stage here, and there was also a special ghost show. It was probably because of the opera troupe singing ghost shows and burning incense to worship them that the Chaoshan ghosts lived until now.
300 years was really pitiful. What was commendable was that in 300 years of being a ghost, the Chaoshan ghost had never harmed anyone.
It was precisely because he had never harmed anyone that Lin Yi's Resurrection Curse was effective on him. At midnight, he could enter the underworld to reincarnate, but that evil ghost still could not reincarnate. Therefore, this evil ghost would definitely come back for revenge tonight.
……
Today, the troupe was not in Cairo. They were holding a banquet in the inn. The owner of the inn was a person who liked to listen to opera. After knowing this, he took the initiative to ask the chef of the inn to help. Otherwise, if he relied on the women in the troupe to cook, he would not be able to eat the food and wine at eight tables until midnight.
Seeing that the wine and dishes on the eight tables were almost served, and the last soup was not ready, the troupe leader looked at the time and saw that it was almost time to start the banquet.
"Brother, Priest Lin, let's take a seat.”The troupe leader said to Uncle Zhang and Lin Yi with a smile.
"Alright, take a seat." Lin Yi and Uncle Zhang nodded and stood up with the troupe leader.
"Everyone, please take your seats." The troupe master cupped his hands and shouted to everyone in the room.
Everyone in the room quieted down when they heard this. They looked at the troupe leader. Then, amidst the lively sounds of invitation and sitting, everyone smiled and took their seats.
Lin Yi and Qingqing were arranged to sit at the main table. Beside them were Uncle Zhang and the troupe leader. The rest were the young lads who had worked hard last night.
"Hey, everyone, quiet down! Listen to me." At the start of the banquet, there had to be a few words to liven things up. This matter was naturally handed over to the troupe leader. After all, he was the leader.
Everyone quieted down and looked at the troupe leader, waiting for him to speak.
"Brothers and sisters, there's no need for the opera troupe to start the gong today. Everyone, eat as much as you want and drink as much as you can. It doesn't matter even if you're drunk.”
"Come, come, come. Cheers."
Everyone stood up and raised their glasses to celebrate.
Qingqing wasn't used to drinking wine, so she took a sip. She stuck out her tongue because of the spiciness of the wine, and her little face instantly turned red.
"If you're not used to this wine, I'll pour you some fruit wine later. Don't drink this.”Lin Yi said with a smile after he finished drinking and saw Qingqing's expression.
"Okay, this cup is for you. Don't waste it.”Qingqing nodded cutely and handed her wine cup to Lin Yi. Then, she took the empty cup from Lin Yi's hand and sat down, her face turning even redder.
"Oh, right, where's Ah Li? Why isn't A-Li out yet?" Uncle Zhang asked Ah Gui when he didn't see Ah Li.
A-Li was the eldest sister in the troupe. Usually, she would help out with anything. Tonight's banquet was prepared by her. Her status in the troupe was second only to Uncle Zhang.
"Oh, Sister Li is still in the kitchen. There's a turtle soup that hasn't been made yet. Oh right, Uncle, try this fish. It's very fresh.”
At this moment, the chopsticks that Lin Yi had just picked up suddenly stopped in midair, and his expression changed slightly.
"Humph, humph, he really came."
