This is a strange incident that took place in Anhui Suzhou.
If you often dream of deceased loved ones, it may be that they have something to ask of you. You might want to listen to what they have to say; it could help them in some way.
The story unfolds in my hometown, Lingbi County, in a place known as Disaster Village. My niece tragically passed away, and my sister, who had just gone through a divorce, was deeply affected by this loss. She stopped eating and drinking, and whenever she fell asleep, she would dream of her deceased daughter.
Each time, my sister would wake up crying, and our family was very worried about her. No matter how we tried to comfort her, nothing seemed to help.
After the divorce, my sister moved back to our parents' home. One day when I went to visit her, I found her waking up from another nightmare. My mother and I rushed into the room to find my sister covering her face and sobbing. After a while, it seemed she made a decision; she wanted to consult someone knowledgeable about her dreams.
The elders in our family believed in these matters, so my mother suggested that I accompany her to see the famous Liu Quezi in the area.
That afternoon, my sister managed to eat a few bites of food before I helped her go to Liu Quezi's house.
I had heard about this person before but had never met him. After finding out where he lived, we knocked on his door.
It took several knocks before someone came out. An elderly woman opened the door; she was likely Liu Quezi's wife.
We explained our purpose for visiting, and she let us inside.
As soon as we entered, we saw an old man in his fifties sitting at the entrance of the main room. He didn't seem particularly remarkable.
His wife brought us some stools to sit on, and Liu Quezi directly asked what we wanted to know. My sister told him that she kept dreaming about her daughter.
Liu Quezi then asked my sister to describe the scenes from her dreams.
As she recalled the dream, tears began streaming down her face uncontrollably.
In her dream, she found herself on a foggy beach with something floating in the sea—something that resembled a person. Although it was too dark to see clearly, she felt that it was Nini.
Nini floated in the water while my sister ran frantically towards her. She wanted to save Nini, but as she reached her side, Nini suddenly sank beneath the waves. My sister immediately followed her down into the depths of the water. She saw Nini sinking further and desperately dove deeper.
When she caught up with Nini and held her tightly, Nini suddenly dissipated like smoke; no matter how hard she tried to grasp her, she couldn't hold on. Just when she felt lost and helpless, she heard Nini calling out to her from behind.
My sister turned around and saw Nini standing motionless in front of a tall wall.
Nini's face was pale, and she weakly called out, "Mom."
My sister wanted to rush over and hug Nini, but it felt like there was an invisible wall preventing her from getting close.
After listening, Liu Quezi seemed to understand something. She immediately asked my sister, "When did Nini die?"
My sister truthfully told her it was on the sixth day of the sixth month. Liu Quezi calculated with her fingers and said, "The sixth day of the sixth month is a day of heavy yin, also known as the Day of Heavy Yin when the gates of hell open. Nini's appearance in the dream clearly shows that she is blocked outside the gates of hell."
"If she really died that day, she should have already entered the gates of hell; there’s no reason for her to be stuck outside."
Then Liu Quezi calculated again and concluded that Nini's lifespan had not yet ended.
She asked my sister, "How exactly did Nini die?"
Since my sister had been crying, I explained the situation to Liu Quezi.
My sister and brother-in-law had been having marital problems and were in the process of getting a divorce.
Nini had been temporarily placed with relatives but was later abducted by a couple.
When Nini was found seven days after her abduction, she was already dead, and the couple who took her had committed suicide by jumping into a river.
The police investigation revealed that they were not actually a married couple; they had significant debts and had taken their own lives out of fear of punishment.
Liu Quezi frowned upon hearing this. She said, "Those two who abducted Nini either practiced dark arts themselves or were guided by someone else. They carried karma and, having committed suicide, cannot enter the gates of hell or reincarnate. They wanted Nini to become a guiding spirit to lead them through the gates of hell, while Nini became a Lonely Spirit."
My sister quickly urged Liu Quezi to help free Nini from her suffering.
Liu Quezi sighed lightly and said, "I can perform a ritual for Nini and write a Netherworld Manuscript prayer to see if we can block those two. However, this ritual may cost several years of your lifespan. Are you willing?"
I thought Liu Quezi was just talking nonsense, but my sister agreed without hesitation.
Then Liu Quezi instructed my sister to lie down on the bed over there as she prepared to perform the ritual.
At that moment, Liu Quezi's wife walked in from outside and handed him three incense sticks. She then told me to wait outside, saying she was afraid of revealing secrets, so I had no choice but to leave the room.
As for what happened inside, my sister told me later.
She said that Liu Quezi pricked her finger with a needle and drew a line on it. Blood dripped down along that line, and my sister smelled a strong fragrance.
A cold sensation spread from her finger, and soon she became disoriented. When she regained consciousness, she dreamt of the city gate again, with Nini standing outside. However, there was an additional red line in front of her.
Before performing the ritual, Liu Quezi told my sister that the red line was made from her blood and served as a guiding line for Nini to cross the Ghost Gate.
Blocked by an invisible wall, she could only shout loudly for Nini to follow the red line.
It seemed that Nini understood, as she began to walk along the red line toward the city gate. The gate opened slightly, and Nini stepped inside; then the gate closed again, and the red line vanished.
After Liu Quezi woke my sister up, she said that Nini had been sent to the Ghost Gate and could reincarnate without suffering anymore.
As I was leaving, I followed tradition and slipped a red envelope to Liu Quezi, then asked him, "Can those two beasts really suffer in the underworld?"
Liu Quezi replied, "They have committed such great sins that they cannot escape punishment; they will at least enter the 18th level of hell."
Strangely enough, after leaving Liu Quezi's home, my sister never dreamed of Nini again.
