Traveling through the world of Paper Wedding Dress

"Yumaba, what should we do now..." Shen Moqing asked Yubaba anxiously.

"Now, let's find the token first." Yubaba didn't have any good ideas. She could only find the token first and then negotiate with Lady Lu.

"Second Grandpa, are you sure the token is right next to the big altar in the village?" Shen Moqing asked his second grandfather.

The second grandfather said confidently, "I can't remember it wrong. There is a small hill next to the altar. My pair of jade hairpins were buried in a box under the old tree on the top of the hill, to the right of the stone tablet."

Granny Tang comforted Shen Moqing: "Moqing, don't be too anxious. Your second grandfather also said that when he made a wish to Madam Lu, he was cautious and only said that if there are descendants in the world, they will definitely fulfill the wish. It is not in accordance with the rules for her to arrest people now. Wait until we find the token from that time, chant a spell and pray to the heavens, and she will not dare to mess around anymore."

The car arrived at the top of a hill. There was a large altar in the middle, which seemed to be a place for people to hold sacrifices. However, no one had taken care of this place for a long time and it looked deserted.

Granny Yuba looked at this place with some confusion: "Huh? Why does the layout here look like a soul-returning ceremony for summoning souls? Something is wrong..."

"Returning the soul? Can we use these things to find Tongtong's soul back?"

"Of course you can, but if you don't do it right it could endanger the lives of two people. Don't use this method unless it's absolutely necessary. Let's go find the token first and bring back the girl's soul."

Shen Moqing had no choice but to give up: "Okay. Then I'll climb up the hill to look for her. You two stay here and look after Tongtong's body."

Second Grandfather: "Mo Qing, you better be careful."

"I know." Shen Moqing walked towards the place where his second grandfather said.

"This mountain wall is really steep." Shen Moqing was panting as he climbed the mountain wall. He finally climbed up after a lot of effort.

"This is the tree that Second Grandpa was talking about, right? It's on the right side of the stone tablet." Shen Moqing started digging with tools and soon found it.

The wooden box was dug out and when it was opened, it contained a jade hairpin and a mirror, with only a groove for the hairpin left on the other side.

"Why is there only one jade hairpin? And this jade hairpin seems to be a pair with the one I brought from home." Shen Moqing placed the jade hairpin on his body into the groove of the wooden box, and it fit perfectly.

"What...what's going on? Go down and ask Second Grandpa."

Shen Moqing struggled to climb down again, and ran towards Second Grandfather as soon as he landed: "Second Grandfather!"

Second Grandpa was a little surprised when he saw Shen Moqing running over: "Moqing, you found the jade hairpin so quickly?"

Shen Moqing panted and asked, "Second Grandfather, are the jade hairpins you buried underground this pair?"

"Yes, that's it."

"This... I actually found one on the top of the mountain. The other one was a gift from a friend to Tongtong and me. I had it with me today."

"what!!!"

Yubaba at the side spoke up: "Wearing this kind of evil thing with you is to form a bond with the ghost, allowing the ghost to find you! Who gave it to you? Does he have any grudge against you?"

"No way... The one who sent us the jade hairpins is our landlord's sister, who has a very good relationship with us. At that time, she was preparing for the wedding, and Tongtong and I helped a little. Later, the bride gave us these gifts to express her gratitude, saying that they can ward off evil spirits and protect the house, and asked us to keep them at home. That sister is also a very good person, she would not harm us..."

Suddenly, a bunch of paper people appeared in front of him, holding musical instruments and wearing white clothes with red "囍" characters written on the front of their clothes.

Yubaba looked at these paper ghosts and said, "Are these the paper ghosts? Give me the jade hairpin."

"Give."

“If you have a debt, chase him a thousand miles away; if you don’t have a debt, you will retreat on your own. If you have a debt, chase him a thousand miles away; if you don’t have a debt, you will retreat on your own.” But the paper man remained in front of him without any change.

"Why didn't you retreat? Even if you are a fierce demon, you still have to abide by the laws of heaven and earth. What's wrong with this?"

The paper figure in front of him suddenly retreated.

"Successful?" Second Grandpa thought he had succeeded, but suddenly he saw a woman in a red wedding dress behind him: "Ah, why is there another one over there! Is that... Miss Lu?"

"That's not right. They seem to be afraid of this lady and ran away." Yubaba noticed something was wrong with the situation.

The lady who was supposed to be far away suddenly appeared in front of them.

Shen Moqing saw Madam Lu's face: "What's going on...you are..."

Yubaba shouted out her identity in shock: "Mo Li? How could it be you..."

The female ghost in front of me disappeared.

"Ah? Isn't that... your lost daughter?" Second Grandpa reacted.

"Mo Li? Your daughter? She is the sister who gave us the jade hairpin. Her name is Nie Moqi! I saw her a few days ago. How come she has turned into a ghost?"

“Oh... What a sin... You did nothing good when you were alive, and now you have become a soul. What kind of drama are you going to perform now..." Yubaba wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"What on earth is going on?" Second Grandpa's mind began to get confused. "Is this your daughter?"

"Mo Li...daughter...she is our landlord, named Nie Moqi! I saw her a few days ago, how come she turned into a ghost?" Shen Moqing looked at Yubaba in confusion.

"She is Nie Moli, and Nie Moqi is her twin sister. Moli was abandoned by her family when she was young, and I adopted her. When she grew up and learned about her life experience, she wanted to take revenge and even learned some evil magic to harm her sister. As a result, she lost her soul and is still living in the hospital."

"So the one who gave me the jade hairpin was actually Nie Moli?"

"Well, she should have disguised herself as her sister to give them to you, but I don't know why she did that or how she became Lady Lu. I'm afraid it has something to do with some evil magic. Hey, you should put away the pair of jade hairpins for now."

Shen Moqing put the jade hairpin into the box: "She is so deliberate, her purpose must be not simple. Yubaba, please teach me how to summon the spirit. If we delay any longer, I'm afraid something might happen to Tongtong." Shen Moqing could not delay any longer.

"You have to think carefully. Summoning spirits is against the will of heaven. If you are not careful, you will damage your soul and yang energy. I also wanted to summon Mo Li's spirit before, but I almost lost my life when I failed."

Hearing this, the second grandfather became anxious: "That won't do. Mo Qing is a good child, how can he..."

"It doesn't matter. As long as I can save Tongtong, I'm willing to pay any price."

"Why don't we go find that expert first? If that expert is present, the success rate will be higher and it will be safer."

"Tongtong still has no news, and I don't know how long it will take to find an expert. I can't afford to delay."

"Well, it's your business, you decide." Yubaba knew that it was useless to persuade her, so she didn't say anything else.

"If you want to summon the soul, the steps won't be so complicated if there is a soul-returning ceremony. But the girl has been captured by Mo Li now, and you need to find three objects to guide her three souls."

"Three objects? What are they exactly?"

"These things vary from person to person, but since everything is set up here, maybe there's something nearby that can be used."

"Then I'll look for it again... By the way, Yubaba, do you know what this mirror is? I put it in the box together with the jade hairpin when I was looking for the keepsake just now." Shen Moqing showed the mirror in the box to Yubaba.
