Home at Last, Sending Souls Back to the Cemetery

After Wu Zhizhi left, Master turned to me and said,

"Let's go! We'll head to Cunping Mausoleum first, then go home."

With that, Master turned and walked toward where the car was parked.

"Master, the incense is still burning. Can we just leave it alone?"

Without looking back, Master gave a direct "Mm."

"No need. This differs from the soul-sending rite I taught you before.

With the soul-sending rite, the soul cannot leave before the incense burns out.

But this Homeward Guiding Rite uses talismans and incantations.

Where the blue smoke leads is the path. There's no need to mind the incense anymore."

As he spoke, Master had already opened the car door and gotten in.

I did not waste any more words and said to the four little ghosts beside me,

"Kids, get in the car with your big brother. I'll take you home."

"We're going home!"

"We'll see Dad!"

The little ghosts had already run toward the car. One of them, a two- or three-year-old ghost girl, even grabbed my hand.

"Big Brother, Big Brother is so nice. You can even beat up bad guys..."

As she spoke, she held my hand and hopped about, her head tilting from side to side as her face beamed with a smile.

Aside from being a little colder and paler, she was just a lively, adorable little girl.

Smiling, I held the little ghost girl's hand and watched her hop toward the car.

But before getting in, I had to call out to them. Otherwise, these ghosts would not be able to get into the car.

After getting in, Master had me use the first-aid kit
