I don't know if there are similar scenes in horror movies nowadays, because ever since I watched The Walking Dead and got hungry for snacks, I haven't watched horror films for many years. So I don't know if playing a segment on the erhu would be more effective at this moment; I promise I will sign up for erhu training classes early.
But I can be sure that Master Song's son must have been scared out of his wits.
Master Song's body has been in the freezer for who knows how long, but his situation is different from mine. What if he gets frozen solid? It doesn't matter; it's only temporary anyway, and once it's over, it's over. So even if he gets frozen solid, missing an arm or a leg, it can still be used.
However, it was quite surprising that Master Song was willing to come help us. On one hand, he wanted to come back to see his family; on the other hand, if his body couldn't be resolved, it would affect his own reincarnation. To put it bluntly, being in the Underworld, who would dare not listen to the King of Hell?
Just think about it: in the funeral home, while everyone is crying, the person lying in the freezer suddenly opens their eyes—this is the second time this funeral home has experienced a haunting today. The first time was me!
The atmosphere at the scene dropped to freezing point the moment Master Song opened his eyes, even colder than the freezer itself.
However, Master Song's expression was even colder than the atmosphere.
"What’s going on?" At the same time Master Song opened his eyes, I quickly covered Lin Miaomiao's mouth. At this moment, she had already recovered and turned her head with a look of surprise, asking.
"Just pulled back from hell," I didn't hide it from Lin Miaomiao. "That's why I used to turn into a corpse."
"You have this skill too?" Lin Miaomiao's eyes widened.
"Of course! Now my fortune-telling is pretty accurate," I replied. With the Death Register in hand, I could probably set up a fortune-telling stall under any bridge wearing sunglasses and make a decent income—maybe even hundreds of thousands a month.
"Shh, stop talking and keep watching," I said to Lin Miaomiao.
Although I had set up a Barrier, it wasn't soundproof. If we spoke too loudly, people outside could still hear us.
Master Song stood up stiffly and glared coldly at his Second Son: "Is this really what you want?"
The Second Son was nearly scared out of his mind, trembling all over as he looked at Master Song with changed eyes. The people around him were similarly affected. The White-eyed Wolf and Gold Chain helped each other out to avoid falling down. The one wearing Glasses appeared calm but began to have water pooling at his feet.
There really are people who get scared to the point of wetting themselves.
Seeing this scene, I couldn't understand. Wasn't Master Song hit because he rushed across the road to get home? It feels like something is off between him and his son.
"Hey, Master, come out. Let's clear things up," Master Song waved at me.
My Barrier can only block ordinary people, but Master Song is a soul I just brought back from the Underworld, so he can see me.
I pulled Lin Miaomiao and deliberately walked in front of Master Song's Second Son before removing the Barrier. As expected, it startled them again.
"You are the one from before," White-eyed Wolf pointed at me. I glared at him, and he quickly lowered his finger.
Before, there were harsh words exchanged, but now there were more kind ones.
"Sir, we still need to apologize to you first," I said while bowing with Lin Miaomiao: "According to the belief that when a person dies, their light goes out, you cannot return to the human world. However, this time is an exception. If you have any unfinished wishes or someone you want to see, feel free to speak up."
Master Song shook his head and asked his Second Son: "Where's your brother?"
Master Song's Second Son stammered: "M-my brother isn't here."
"I knew it was you, you little brat causing trouble," Master Song snorted coldly. "What? Are you hoping that even after I die, I can still earn some money for you?"
"Sir, what exactly is going on?" I asked in confusion; it seemed like Master Song and his Second Son really had a poor relationship.
"Miss," Master Song turned to look at Lin Miaomiao: "I'm sorry for scaring you earlier."
Master Song was referring to the time when his Vengeful Spirits were bothering Lin Miaomiao, so even now he remembered to apologize to her.
"You," Master Song pointed at his Second Son: "Go call your brother over quickly."
"This," Second Son said with a troubled expression.
"What's wrong? Am I dead and my words no longer matter?" Master Song scolded.
Why did that sound so off?
"Big Brother can't come for the time being," Second Son stammered.
"What do you mean?"
"Big Brother is still in the hospital."
Master Song, furious, slapped Second Son across the face. I winced at the sight; although Master Song didn't seem particularly strong, he had the advantage of being a best friend. Just think about it—how long had Master Song been lying in the freezer? His hand was as hard as iron, and with one slap, he sent Second Son crashing to the ground.
"By the way, Master Song, the old lady is here too. Do you want to see her?" I reminded him.
Master Song waved his hand dismissively. "No need, no need. Let me be honest with you, Master. My old partner probably can't wait for me to die."
"My previous partner passed away long ago, and this one is someone I married later on. This son is also from my second marriage."
"After both sons grew up, the eldest opened a restaurant, while this useless one just mooches off his brother. This son is disappointing; he has no ambition and only hangs out with his good-for-nothing friends. Later, when our family was splitting up, I thought I would leave my land to his brother and give him the house."
"But then they suddenly started building roads in our area and took the land allocated to the eldest son. The eldest received compensation for it. The younger son was unhappy because I favored the elder and insisted on splitting that money. How could I agree to that? But my partner sided with the younger son. In the end, they split the money anyway, which caused a rift between them."
"I died because they rarely came to see me together, and I was very excited about it. But this is also my fault; if I had just looked at the road beforehand, there wouldn't have been an accident."
"Miss, what did the court ultimately decide?" Master Song asked Lin Miaomiao.
"They found us partially responsible, but my dad said we could cover your funeral expenses. However, he demanded ten thousand from my dad; otherwise, he would find someone to beat him up," Lin Miaomiao pointed at Master Song's Second Son.
"Who hit whom?" Gold Chain said aggrievedly, pointing at me, "It was all him who hit us."
I couldn't help but laugh; wasn't that what they asked for?
"How about this, Master Song? We both have our faults in this matter. Let's take a step back, shall we? You guys shouldn't insist on that million, and here, I'll add ten years to your Lifespan for your next life. How does that sound?"
"You can really add to someone's Lifespan?" Lin Miaomiao looked at me, tilting her head curiously.
"Of course! What can't I do?" I replied proudly.
"Alright then, I'm already dead, so I won't fuss over it," Master Song waved his hand.
"That's not acceptable." The Elder's Second Son stood up with a dirty face, looking furious. "Why should my father's life be worth so little? Brat, let me tell you, if you don't pay up, this isn't over!"
He really wanted to exchange his father's life for money.
This made Master Song furious; he raised his hand to strike again but was held back by White-eyed Wolf and Gold Chain. The Second Son kicked out in anger.
"You old fool, coming back from the dead and still blocking my path to wealth."
I couldn't let him kick Master Song; I quickly grabbed Master Song and placed my Judgment Seal on his head, capturing his soul.
It seemed that the guy had become obsessed with wealth. Even if Master Song wasn't his biological father, he had raised him for many years. Suddenly, I realized something was off with Old Man's Son.
"Three Pure Edict, summon Zheng Yuan. Humans and ghosts are on different paths; when the soul departs, Specter everything. Four Lives are blessed; those with heads and those without heads live. Guns kill knives; diving ropes hang. Clear deaths and hidden deaths, grievances and wrongful deaths. Good and evil karma must be borne by oneself. Wealth and poverty are self-invited. Command the crowd; summon and ascend."
Soul Capture is one of the Eight Treasures Mystique and is the most profound technique among the Wonderful Techniques I possess. Only the Transcendental Sutra and Survey are more advanced than it within the Eight Treasures Mystique.
In Slanting Moon Three Stars Cave, I also witnessed the pinnacle of soul summoning Wonderful Techniques; however, that pinnacle likely relied on Tongjiao Master's treasure, Six Soul Banner, to be executed. With a wave of his hand, he created Hell's Eighteen Layers out of thin air.
I don't possess such profound magical power, but after borrowing a spell, I can still Soul Capture the ghost residing within his body.
I pulled out a completely red ghost from Master Song's Second Son. It wasn't very tall, probably just over a meter high, with a pair of sharp horns on its head and fangs jutting up beside its nose, its eyes gleaming with greed.
"Greedy Ghost," I murmured to myself. So that's it; it seems Master Song's Second Son was possessed by this thing. If he hadn't just tried to kick Master Song, I wouldn't have noticed.
"Ox-Nose, what business is it of yours?" the ghost said, sounding more reasonable than I was.
"Business? What do you think this is?" I pulled out the Judgment Seal: "Are you going to surrender obediently or resist?"
"Surrender? Do you think you can defeat me?" The Greedy Ghost crossed its arms, looking down on me.
I took out the Octagonal Taiji and with a wave, bound the Greedy Ghost. Leaning down, I patted its shoulder and asked, "What about now?"
The Greedy Ghost struggled but couldn't break free. Suddenly, it shouted loudly, "Someone come help! Hell has come for us!"
Could there be reinforcements?
As soon as the words left its mouth, the previously closed ice cabinets opened one by one, and corpses began to rise.
