Strange Tales from the Countryside

"What is the soul seizing the body?" Asked a man. "The so-called body seizing is a kind of lonely ghost wandering in this world. They cannot be reincarnated and can only wander in the world. They take the bodies of people who have been dead for less than seven days to absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, thereby strengthening their own Yin Qi. The heavier the Yin Qi, the stronger. This big candle is used to lock the corpse Qi emitted by the dead body. Those lonely ghosts look for the recently deceased corpse by sensing the corpse Qi." The old man answered, stroking his beard.
