Chapter Fourteen: Returning Home

  At noon, the sunlight passed through the window and was cut into several pieces, scattered on the floor of the house. The girl in the house slowly opened her eyes and then sat up slowly. This is a relatively quiet courtyard in the Shangguan Mansion, plus the order of Old Master Shangguan, so no one would come to disturb her.

  The ghost supported his forehead, slightly closed his eyes, and recalled the events of last night. If it weren't for Master arriving in time last night, with his condition at that time, he would have probably gone to see King Yanwang already.

  "Junior sister, junior sister." Gui Sheng shouted loudly outside the door.

  The ghost heard Guisheng's voice and slightly hooked the corner of his mouth, "Guisheng, come in."

  Gui Sheng heard the response and pushed open the door to enter. His sister didn't like it when others touched her things without her consent, or directly entered her room. "Sister, here, eat something."

  The ghost gazed at Guisheng, smiled slightly, got out of bed and walked to the table. "I'm fine," the ghost said indifferently, then picked up his bowl and started eating.

  Gui Sheng heard the words and his facial expression relaxed slightly. Then he sat down beside the ghost, poured her a cup of water. "Junior sister, let's go home today."

  "Are you going home?" The ghost heard this and asked happily.

  "En." Guisheng was also very happy. "Master said that after you went back, you would be finished, and yet you dared to run alone to the ancient burial ground of flowers."

  "Hehe." The ghost smiled awkwardly, wanting to end the fight quickly, but didn't expect to meet Akao, and even less expected that Akao would break the Funeral Flower. However, there was one thing that seemed strange - wasn't Long Qingzi supposed to be very famous? Why did he feel so weak?

  ……

  "Huh? Master, you can actually rent a horse carriage!" Guī Shēng exclaimed in surprise as he sat inside the carriage, "Could it be because of your disciple?"

  "The horse carriage of the Upper Official's Mansion." The ghost said faintly and flipped open that book of talismans once again.

  Guī Yǎn smiled slightly and said: "It's hard to decline the kindness of Officer Shàngguān."

  Upon hearing this, the ghost and the demon both rolled their eyes in silence.

  "Coachman, let's go." Gu Yan smiled and said to the coachman outside.

  The horse carriage moved slowly forward, and the sunlight also began to shift slowly. The road home was gradually shortening.

  The place where the three people with ghost eyes lived was very far from the capital city, and it could be said that it was far from anywhere. It was a remote place with only one small village. The village was not big, and the population was not large, probably just over 100 people, but it was relatively wealthy. The main reason was that on a small mountain near the village lived the three people with ghost eyes. Many people who came to worship stayed in the village, resulting in the current small village having everything from wine houses to guesthouses and tea houses, bustling with people coming and going.

  In the carriage, Guiyan San excitedly opened the curtain and greeted the people coming and going. After a month, Guiyan San had returned to this village. The name of the village was Guicun, which also showed how high Guiyan San's status was among the villagers.

  "Master Guiyan, these are fresh pears, just arrived, try some." A woman of about fifty years old, dressed elegantly, handed over a basket of pears.

  "Ghost is born, come on, take some meat back."

  "And this chicken is also brought along."

  "Bring some vegetables too."

  "Master Guiyan, we have a matter that requires your attention." A young man said anxiously as he squeezed through the crowd.

  "Hey, hey, you're new here? Don't know the rules?" a middle-aged uncle kindly reminded.

  "What's going on?" The young man asked immediately.

  "The Master of Ghost Eyes has just returned and will not accept any commissions within a month."

  "Huh? Well, I guess there's no choice. I'll just wait here then." The young man said dejectedly.

  "Hey, look at you, young man. Do you know some rules or not?" the middle-aged uncle said, looking like he had rushed over in a fit of anger without understanding anything.

  "What other rules are there?" The young man asked the middle-aged uncle in front of him, who seemed to be a local. The people in this village were very hospitable and didn't charge high prices, but it was easy to have no place to stay because too many people came. So he also had no guard against him and asked with ease.

  "The Master of Ghost Eyes lives on a nearby mountain, you should know this."

  "Uh-huh."

  "The surroundings are tall trees that surround the small mountain, making it impossible for outsiders to enter. The three masters of Guiyan will not come out frequently either."

  "What should I do then? The young man was getting anxious. Waiting for a month would be fine, but if the time is uncertain... "

  "Have you seen the talisman seller over there? A blank talisman is very cheap. Write down the location and the amount of money on the talisman, then throw it into the forest and that's it. Three days later, when you go to take a look, if the talisman hasn't appeared, that means your request has been accepted. Guī Yǎn Dà Shī's (Ghost Eye Master) big disciple, Guǐ Shēng, will come find you, and this matter will be settled."

  "Big brother, may I ask, what is the amount of the commission?" The young man asked hesitantly.

  "Generally, the amount is acceptable, but it depends on the distance of the journey."

  "Oh." The young man finally put his heart at ease after hearing this. He thanked him repeatedly and then hurried to find a place to stay.

  ……

  "It's better to go home." The ghost-eyed man said with a big laugh, "Right, Master, Master's sister?"

  "Yes, yes, the wine brewed by the soul can finally be drunk, haha." The ghost-eyed man said with a smile, then accelerated and turned around to disappear.

  The ghost helplessly shook his head and said to Guisheng standing on the spot: "Guisheng, go draw a talisman."

  "Ah." The ghost let out a mournful sigh and obediently returned to the house.

  The ghost smiled as he watched the resentful back of Gui Sheng, and then returned to his own room. Gui Sheng was too kind-hearted, so Master and himself never let him follow them in action, but only let him use talismans to improve his spiritual energy, which was also a way for Gui Sheng to protect himself. Otherwise, with Gui Sheng's talent, he would not be inferior to the ghost at all.

  The ghost took down the cloth package from his body for the first time and placed it on the bed. Everything here can make oneself completely let go of one's guard. Only to see the ghost take out a palm-sized purple jade gourd from the cloth package, then pull out the plug. Only to see two strands of green smoke suddenly emerge from the purple jade gourd, the green smoke falls to the ground, slowly forming two silhouettes.

  "Little Qing."

  "Little Qing."

  The ghost heard the words and smiled, "Luo Xi, Luo Ran." These were two ghosts, his own ghosts. Because his Tao was not yet deep enough, when he was outside, they had always been staying in the purple jade gourd.

  "It's about time you let us out, or else you wouldn't have to lose your precious blood." Luoxi said helplessly, Luoxi was indeed the kind of elegant and refined man, his handsome face now full of helplessness.

  "Hehe, I reckon Master Guiyan will be training you properly soon." Luo Ran had a mischievous grin on her face, and her normally sly-looking face was even more joyful at this moment, but there was still a hint of worry in her eyes.

  Upon hearing this, the ghost also shook his head helplessly. This time, Master would definitely train himself well again. Luo Xi and Luo Ran were originally disciples of Master Guiyan, but for some reason, they couldn't be trained, so he took them in as his own. In fact, it was just to look after the house. Later on, because the ghost often acted alone, Guiyan gave the two to the ghost.

  However, the little ghosts didn't need to take action, and the big ghosts were worried. The two of them, along with Guī Yǎn and Guī Shēng, had all been watching over Guī Hún since he was young, and were his most important family members. Guī Hún also told a few people about his reincarnation, but instead of being afraid, they became even more fond of him. From then on, Luò Xī and Luò Rǎn always called Guī Hún "Little Qīng".

  "Soul, training tomorrow." The Ghost Eye shouted from outside and then returned to his own room.

  The ghost gazed at the black and white figure in front of him and let out a deep sigh of helplessness.

  The white-clothed Luo Xi and the black-clothed Luo Ran both burst out laughing at this moment.
