The whole weird world is waiting for me to go to heaven

Chapter 459: The Witch Summoning the Soul
The Lu family is planning to summon the spirit of Miss Lu, and all the aristocratic families in Beijing know about it.

But no one would object or stop it. After all, both of his daughters died in accidents, so it is normal to have some thoughts about this.

Especially for Miss Lu, the murderer has not been found yet. Although there are rumors that it was done by Miss Wen, there is insufficient evidence to prove it.

But looking back at the death of Miss Lu, which was witnessed by everyone and had solid evidence, the trial of the case encountered obstacles because Han Lu, the son of the Han family, insisted that he was controlled by a ghost and refused to plead guilty.

The Han family has been a family of high rank for generations and has produced several prime ministers. Later, the first chief minister after the reform was also from the Han family. Naturally, they did not want the young master of the Han family to be labeled as "lustful and murderous".

At this moment, Mr. Han, who once served as the Prime Minister, although he is over 150 years old, personally entered the palace and knelt down to petition His Majesty, begging him to clear Han Lu's name.

The old man is already very old, and his hands and feet are trembling. Who dares to really let him kneel all the time?

Your Majesty was helpless and could only issue an edict, ordering the General Administration of Weaving to quickly investigate the matter and clear Han Lu's name.

As soon as the imperial order was issued, His Majesty's attitude became clear.

Even if the Lu family was dissatisfied, they dared not say anything and could only blame the Lu family's declining status.

……

More and more people came into the yard. Wen Weilan watched coldly. There were probably hundreds of people in total.

However, on the other hand, there were more and more guards guarding the gate of the courtyard, forbidding people in the courtyard to go out, and their words were similar to what Wen Weilan had just heard.

In other words, the major families sent people to express their condolences, but they were confined to the courtyard in disguise by the Lu family.

But surprisingly, no one expressed any resentment.

Firstly, it is understandable that the Lu family wants to investigate, as no one wants to be suspected.

Secondly, the old lady of the Lu family even took out the tomb-guarding sword bestowed by Emperor Mingyuan, and stood in front of the mourning shed in person. Although she was old, she was still proud and dignified.

All I heard was the old lady shouting in a hoarse voice: "Close the door!"

Although her body was trembling slightly, she held high the spiritual sword that symbolized imperial power. Although the sword was mottled with rust, it still looked majestic.

Seeing this, everyone fell silent and did not move.

I felt respect in my heart, partly for the old lady, but more of course for the original owner of this magical sword.

As the gate was closed, the candlelight flickered, and the light in the courtyard suddenly dimmed, as if an invisible and intangible haze was covering the entire courtyard.

Old Mrs. Lu slowly put down the magic sword. Her body was a little unstable and she almost fell to the ground. Her daughter-in-law beside her hurried forward to support her, but was held by a pair of white and slender hands.

The young man said in a low and steady voice, "Mrs. Lu... please don't be too sad."

Everyone looked up in surprise, only to see that the man was Miss Lu's rumored fiancé Wen Xuanning, and they immediately understood.

Old Mrs. Lu thanked Wen Xuanning, and her daughter-in-law Ye Liuxian stepped forward and took the old lady's hand.

The two women supported each other, their faces full of sadness.

"Everyone, thank you for coming here today... to pay your respects."

"Now the Lu family is dwindling, some dead, some old. I didn't expect so many people would come today. I am extremely grateful, and I have no way to repay you. I can only bow..."

As they spoke, the two of them were about to kneel down and bow.

But who dares to let this centenarian old lady really bow down?
If anything happens to his body, there will be one more coffin in the mourning shed today, which would be bad.

"I can't do it, I can't do it!"

"Mrs. Lu, you are too kind!"

Some people even stepped forward to help.

Of course, the fastest person was Wen Xuanning, who had been standing by her side. With a caring look on his face, he gently supported the old lady.

Looking at Old Madam Lu and Madam Lu Ye Liuxian, who looked haggard and had a negative energy around them that was not dissipating, everyone couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Speaking of which, the Lu family is also weird. There are no male descendants in the family, and the male relatives died even earlier. Only a group of women are left, but these women are weak and unlucky, and they die one after another.

Even the elder and second daughters Lu, who were raised with great care, died one after another.

I don't know if the Lu family was contaminated by guarding the imperial mausoleum...

"In order not to affect the effect of summoning spirits, I have to seal the gate to the courtyard. Please forgive me." Old Madam Lu said with a humble attitude but unquestionable majesty in her tone.

"Next, the summoning of souls... begins." Just as the words fell, a loud "boom" was heard, and a heavy object rubbed against the ground, making a loud noise.

The white flags fluttered, and white waves were rolled up in the wind.

A woman in white with a conical hat on her head was seen dragging Miss Lu's coffin out of the mourning shed. She looked very strenuous because of her thin figure.

However, the speed was so fast that the coffin was dragged all the way into the yard.

The woman's appearance was finally revealed to everyone.

At first glance, it seemed to be faceless, with the head and hat being the same color, all white. Upon closer inspection, I discovered that there were two thin slits in the white, with silver pupils moving slightly in them; the nose was also a vertical slit, and the mouth was just pursed into a thin line.

Even her hair was completely snow-white. If she hadn't been wearing a woman's dress, one would hardly have been able to tell that she was a woman.

When they suddenly saw such a strange person, everyone was secretly surprised and didn't know where he came from.

"This...is the fortune teller we specially invited. Please cooperate with us." The old lady immediately explained everyone's doubts.

Fortune teller?

Are there still fortune-tellers these days?

Wen Weilan sniffed carefully and did not smell any strange smell from the woman. Instead, there was a strong sacred aura that made her extremely uncomfortable.

But she couldn't show it and could only endure it.

Jiang Caibin also felt very uncomfortable.

He was standing in a corner of the yard, in an inconspicuous position behind everyone, watching from afar.

No one knows what this so-called witch is. Just the aura she exudes is enough to make her look like this. If she really uses her power, I'm afraid her identity will be exposed.

Fortunately, he had the help of "Mom", who circulated in his body and absorbed all the sacred energy, forming a special kind of protection.

Jiang Caibin didn't know that he had gradually developed a feeling of faith, admiration, and attachment to his "mother"... or to Liu Sheng, and this feeling made him have a cross-dimensional connection with his "mother" lurking deep in a certain dimension.

And this connection allows him to gain the protection of this growing god.

Therefore, he actually feels much better than Wen Weilan.

He even had time to glance at Jiang Caizhi's instantly tense back in front of him, smiled, and then stood on tiptoe to look at the weird witch.

The witch stretched out her hand, her fingers as slender as claws, slowly grasped the coffin lid and opened it bit by bit.

Everyone watching this scene held their breath.

In the coffin, there lay a thin figure.

According to everyone's understanding, this should be Miss Lu.

But the reason why I understand it is that the body in the coffin has long been shriveled and its original appearance cannot be recognized. I can only get a glimpse of it from the face.

What's even more horrifying is that the corpse, which has shrunk into a thin and small ball, is no longer in the shape of a human.

Her arms and legs became extremely slender, her body swelled, and her legs under her skirt seemed to be stuck together and extended to form a snake-like tail.

It looks like this...

"Like a dragon!"

Someone exclaimed, then immediately realized he had said something wrong and quickly shut up.

But these words echoed over the yard and in everyone's mind.

This lady Lu...

After death, he is transforming into a dragon?
The witch seemed oblivious to the strange appearance of the corpse. She silently took out a few copper coins from her bosom and covered the mouth, nose, chest, hands and lower body of the corpse which were gathered together like a long snake.

Then she took out a paper banner from her sleeve and waved it gently in the air, making a jingling sound.

Everyone understood that the summoning of spirits had begun!

As the bell rang, an indescribable aura enveloped the courtyard, as if something was about to wake up.

I saw that the eyes that were originally closed on the shriveled face of Miss Lu in the coffin slowly opened!
