Chapter Ten Visions

  At noon, there were still fewer people on the street.

  At this time, the gate of the Shangguan family suddenly opened, and a girl slowly emerged from the door. Under the respectful gaze of the young servant, she walked down the stone steps. The girl slightly raised her head to look at the sky, then quickly lowered it, furrowing her brow. Then she slowly walked in one direction, her figure suddenly becoming somewhat dazed. Upon closer inspection, the person had already disappeared.

  This girl is the ghost living in the Shangguan family. Yesterday, three people went to see Old Master Shangguan together and clarified things. It turned out that a few days ago, Old Master Shangguan saw his deceased wife's spirit in his dream, but she was not as gentle as usual, instead having a gloomy feeling. Since then, Madame Shangguan has been appearing frequently in Old Master Shangguan's dreams, asking him to avenge her. Old Master Shangguan was also tortured and lost weight, and his spirit became dispirited. At first, Old Master Shangguan thought that maybe it was because the Qin family had not paid the price, so Madame Shangguan was so unyielding and resentful. However, the words and actions of this madam in her dreams were too abnormal, so Old Master Shangguan invited Ghost Eye Master to come over.

  On the second day after Guiyan and his two companions arrived at Shangguan's residence, Guishen performed a ritual to drive away the evil spirits. Then, both Guishen and Guiyan simultaneously thought of the strange phenomenon that appeared in the sky on that day, thinking it might be related to the anomaly that day. So, Guishen saved Shangguan's residence and was going to investigate thoroughly, while Guiyan held down Gui Sheng who wanted to follow him, warning him not to go and cause trouble for Guishen, and Gui Sheng gave up.

  The ghost patted the cloth bag on his body, and the master had stuffed a lot of things inside. He was always curious about the master's identity, but the master never said where he came from, except for teaching knowledge, he never said anything else. However, the master's treasures were not few, every time he wanted to act alone, he would stuff a lot in. "Alas, it's just an investigation, and we haven't reached the point of taking action yet." The ghost sighed, but his mouth was still raised, this life had a master, had a ghost birth, it was really good.

  "We're quite fated." A magnetic voice rose, accompanied by a gentle breeze, and was carried into the ghost's ears.

  "It's you." The ghost's tone was light, but upon closer listening, there was a hint of disgust.

  "What's wrong, seeing me makes you so unhappy?" Chang Qingzi smiled lightly, with a hint of teasing in his tone. Seeing that the ghost was not going to respond to him and continued walking forward, he quickened his pace and caught up with the figure in front. "The Qin family has an evil spirit, the Shangguan family must have one too."

  "What did you want to say?" The ghost stopped in his tracks and asked directly.

  "We'll join hands." Zhang Qingzi didn't ask for the ghost's opinion and directly made this decision. Seeing that the ghost was about to retort, Zhang Qingzi stopped her and continued speaking: "You also know that this matter isn't simple. Unless we join hands, we won't have a chance of winning. Moreover, I have some information here that you should be interested in." After finishing speaking, Zhang Qingzi smiled at the ghost with confidence, believing that the ghost would definitely agree to his proposal.

  "News?" Chang Qingzi guessed correctly, and the ghost was indeed interested in this piece of news.

  "We Mo family you should be clear, and such a strange phenomenon has also been recorded." Chang Qingzi said with a smile.

  The ghost frowned, by rights the master should have told himself some news about the anomaly, but the master had never said anything, so could Mo Changqing's words be trusted?

  However, this time the ghost was too trusting of Guīyǎn. It wasn't that he didn't know, but rather he had forgotten. Moreover, he hadn't expected the ghost to take action after probing around.

  "Speak." The ghost said faintly.

  "Let's go to that teahouse over there." Chang Qingzi glanced around and spotted a nearby teahouse, then said to the ghost.

  "Okay."

  The teahouse was called the Smoky Rain Teahouse, with a flavor reminiscent of Jiangnan landscape paintings. The teahouse wasn't big but was very exquisite, and since it was noon, there weren't many customers inside. The shop assistant leaned against the counter, half asleep. Seeing that a customer had arrived, he immediately came forward enthusiastically to greet them, and suddenly the whole teahouse became busy.

  Chang Qingzi and the ghost sat in a elegant room by the window, ordered some of the best West Lake Longjing tea, and also randomly asked for several exquisite pastries. The young servant saw that the guests did not want to be disturbed, so he tactfully retreated.

  "Now can you tell me what the news is?" The ghost sipped a mouthful of tea and said lightly. The fragrance of the tea flowed down his throat into his body, calming his entire heart.

  "Don't you know that it's very impolite to talk without looking at the person?" Chang Qingzi picked up her teacup, blew on it lightly and took a small sip.

  The ghost looked up at Zhang Qingzi with a somewhat helpless expression and stared at him.

  "Your eyes are a bit strange for ordinary people, but they're a great gift for us." Chang Qingzi said slowly.

  "It is a gift and also a disaster." The ghost said coldly, slightly lowering its head to ask: "News?"

  "The gates of hell have been forced open." Chang Qingzi said, immediately putting on a serious face and tone.

  "What's going on?" the ghost asked hastily. The gates of hell, even if it was a small gate, were extremely solid and had people guarding them, how could they be broken open?

  "It's probably some powerful soul that was sealed away and forced its way out, but fortunately it wasn't too severe, it seems like only a small gap was opened up, however this gap is more than enough for some evil spirits." Chang Qingzi said.

  "Hell?" The ghost said two words and stopped.

  "The small gate has been closed properly, and the evil spirit that slipped out will probably keep the ghost hunters busy for a while. However, there is now a troublesome guy."

  "Is this the reason you wanted me to collaborate with you?" The ghost asked affirmatively.

  "En." Chang Qingzi replied faintly.

  "This shouldn't be difficult for you, should it?" the ghost asked with some doubt.

  "Take down that guy, if I go all out, I should be able to take him down, but the key is where did he escape to?" Chang Qingzi said, "And I also hope to enter and exit alive, this is also why I want to cooperate with you."

  "There? You're saying there!" The ghost's face also turned somewhat solemn in an instant. If it was that place, then it wouldn't be strange to want to cooperate with oneself. That place wasn't somewhere he hadn't been before, having followed his master in once, but nothing had happened, probably due to his master's abilities. However, the yin energy of that place was a bit too heavy. "Reward?"

  "We'll split the spiritual energy 50/50, and I'll also give you this." Chang Qingzi tossed over an ancient jade bottle.

  The ghost immediately caught it, and the jade bottle felt cool to the touch. On the bottle was engraved a seal character. "Spirit energy?"

  "Uh-huh."

  "Then aren't you at a loss?" The ghost said with an ambiguous smile.

  "Don't worry, I don't do business at a loss." Chang Qingzi smiled.

  "I'll take it then," said the ghost, putting the jade bottle into the cloth bag, thinking to himself that it would be just right for Ghost Birth.

  "Then let's just wait for nightfall." Chang Qingzi said, then turned around and looked at the sky.

  Yes, it seems we have to wait until nightfall for the entrance to appear...
