Volume 1: Spirit Marriage Chapter 37 Since you've come, let's settle this

  After hearing what Huang Shu said, Huang Shi's face suddenly turned pale as if he had been struck by lightning.

  We all know that the child who kicked Huang Po's belly in his dream is undoubtedly Shui Shengzi.

  Although, Huang Shi Shu still didn't believe it, he comforted Huang Shu by saying that was just a dream and now that the dream is over, everything is fine. Although he said so, he didn't dare to touch the talisman on Huang Shu's belly again.

  Huang Aunt finished speaking and was exhausted, now she fell asleep again. I said why not send Huang Aunt to the hospital for a check-up to see if the fetus is okay? Huang Shigong looked at Huang Aunt, thought for a long time, and finally said: "Okay, let's go to the hospital." Then he turned to me and said: "Xiao Dao, please ask your friend to help us out, take us there." I said it was fine, what's the problem?

  When I arrived at the door, I told Zhang Yunhao about this matter. Zhang Yunhao leaned against the pillar, with his hands clasped to his chest, raised his head and gazed up at the sky, saying nonchalantly: "Aren't we supposed to be pretending to be gods? And yet you're releasing snakes to harm people, aren't you afraid that I'll intentionally drive the car off a cliff, killing all three of us?"

  "Ptooey! Ptooey! Ptooey!" I cursed, "A dog's mouth can't spit out ivory!" Then with both hands clasped together, I piously prayed to the heavens: "Children's words are guiltless! Children's words are guiltless!"

  "Hmph!" Zhang Yunhao snorted in disdain.

  I gazed at him and asked: "What about your tolerance? What about your broad-mindedness? Is this all the ambition you have? How can you be a doctor in the future?"

  "Shaman?" Zhong Ling'er suddenly asked: "Is he a shaman?"

  I was shocked, I didn't want anyone to know about the witch doctor thing, even if it was my favorite girl. Just as I was thinking of explaining to Zhong Ling'er, Zhang Yunhao had already shouted: "Right, I am a witch doctor, crow's crow! The crowd of crows!" Fortunately, Zhong Ling'er didn't ask again, and I pushed Zhang Yunhao and said: "Okay, don't be like a woman, so petty and annoying. Send the Buddha to the west, do good deeds to the end. Qin Shen, please listen to me, I think that since you can drive to send Huang Po to the hospital, you should go and drive, although you've been wronged, but..."

  "Alright," Zhang Yunhao interrupted me, walking towards the car as he spoke: "Tell him to hurry up, I don't want to wait too long."

  Huang Shi's uncle carried Huang Shu onto the car, and I also jumped up with one step. Zhang Yunhao reminded me that someone still needs to take care of those two yellow cows. I hesitated for a moment, worried that my mother would scold me again if she knew I let the wild cows loose, so I got off the car and asked Zhang Yunhao to send Huang Shi back home. Zhang Yunhao shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.

  After the car left, I took a look at Zhong Ling'er and asked if Huang Shu wouldn't have any problems. She said that for the time being, she shouldn't have any problems, as long as that charm isn't removed. I asked her what would happen if Huang Shu's fetus was really stillborn, and Zhong Ling'er said that in that case, the hospital should be able to abort it.

  "What about Shuǐ Shèngzi?" I asked hurriedly.

  Zhong Ling'er said that the Water Saint would leave its host and go find another vessel. I said, in that case, this Water Saint must be eliminated. Zhong Ling'er didn't respond, and I felt a bit awkward, so I said I was going to go look at some cows. Zhong Ling'er said she also needed to head back, and I offered to give her a ride on my motorcycle. Zhong Ling'er agreed.

  I was worried that the cows might cause trouble, so I went to check on them first. Since they were tied up with ropes, the two cows had been staying in that abandoned land without leaving. However, the green grass in the soil had been nibbled clean by the two calves. I stroked one of their heads and said, "I'm really sorry, you guys have to suffer for a while. When I send my goddess back, I'll take you to eat a big meal."

  Back home, my mother asked me how I came back, where's the cow? I said my friend is watching it. While pushing out the motorcycle, my mother asked why I was driving a cow to blow wind. I said I accompanied a girl to blow some wind. My mother asked which girl, and I said you'll know if you take a look. My mother walked out of the house and saw Zhong Ling'er outside, immediately put on a smile, and said "Girl, you're here, come in and sit down." Zhong Ling'er said no need to sit, she had to go back.

  After getting on the bus, her mother said to Zhong Ling'er, "Come and play when you have time." Zhong Ling'er said okay.

  On the road, I told Zhong Ling'er that my mother liked her very much. Zhong Ling'er said: "Your mom likes your wife Wu Lele more." I was surprised and asked how she knew this. Zhong Ling'er didn't say anything else, and I was puzzled in my heart. Could it be that this little god really has a magical calculation and knows everything?

  I explained to Zhong Ling'er that Wu Lele is not my wife, but only had a spiritual marriage with me, and this matter Zhong Ling'er also knew... Zhong Ling'er was silent, and I didn't know if she was listening or not.

  Alas, this sulky guy is really someone you love and hate at the same time.

  After sending Zhong Ling'er home, I asked her again if she could really subdue the Water Saint Child and not let him continue to cause trouble for humans. Zhong Ling'er reminded me, "This is not something you can handle, don't get involved, or it will only bring you endless trouble, even disaster." I said I knew that, but we couldn't just stand by and do nothing, could we? Zhong Ling'er said, there are many "deaths" in this world, you can't possibly save every single one, not even Guanyin Bodhisattva can do that. I said why don't you try, maybe you'll do better than Guanyin Bodhisattva. Zhong Ling'er let out a light sigh and said heavily, "My mother told me before she left that I shouldn't get involved in this matter, because once I do, I might suffer a bloody disaster."

  I was shocked, Zhong Ling'er's words, I deeply believed in her, and asked her what to do now. Zhong Ling'er said there was no way, since we've come this far, we should face it together. My mind was extremely chaotic, could it be that Shui Shengzi would come to find Zhong Ling'er for revenge? At first, Zhong Ling'er didn't want to get involved, but I repeatedly begged her until she agreed to help. What if Shui Shengzi really came looking for us, and something happened to Zhong Ling'er, how could my heart be at peace?

  "I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be like this, I didn't think about your feelings and standpoint..."

  Zhong Ling'er said lightly, whether it's good fortune or bad luck, one can't escape fate, everything is predetermined, there's no need to take things too seriously.

  She spoke lightly, but every word was like a revelation to me. I finally understood why she always had an air of calmness and composure about her - it was because she saw through everything in life, fate, and even the universe itself with great clarity.

  I gave my phone number to Zhong Ling'er and told her that if she had anything, she could call me, I might be able to help, because I have a way to deal with ghosts.

  "You?" Zhong Ling'er looked at me with a mixture of doubt and suspicion.

  I'm telling you, believe me, I can really deal with ghosts. If you're in danger and don't tell me, I'll feel guilty for the rest of my life and be sad forever.

  Jing Ling'er seemed to be thinking of something and said, "Don't worry, if there's any danger, I'll let you know."

  I returned to the cowshed, untied the rope and drove the cow back. My mother had already prepared dinner and asked why Zhang Yunhao hadn't come back yet. I said I was taking Huang Shu to the hospital. My mother then asked what was wrong with Huang Shu, but I didn't tell her the truth, just saying that she had a stomachache, probably due to moving the fetus. As I spoke, I took out my phone and dialed Zhang Yunhao's number. The signal in the countryside wasn't very good, and it took half a day to get through, with a voice that wasn't very clear. Zhang Yunhao said they had just arrived at the hospital and Huang Shu was being examined.

  Back in my room, I took out the "Ghost Technique" book that I found in my father's bookcase. I decided to study it carefully. This book contains a total of 15 techniques for dealing with ghosts. The first technique is called "Killing Ghosts", which requires writing a "" character in the air with blood. This is simply not something I can do, so I abandoned this technique.

  The second move is the Soul Summoning Technique, which is equivalent to inviting a god to possess one's body and using its power to deal with enemies. As an ordinary person, this move is difficult for me. Perhaps it might be useful for Zhong Ling'er, as I've heard that witches can invite ghosts and gods to possess their bodies.

  The third is the art of taming ghosts, using spirit symbols to restrain and utilize ghostly spirits. This move is quite interesting, but that symbol - there's a picture of the symbol, I just don't know how to draw it, nor do I know how to restrain the ghosts. There are no detailed explanations above either. For someone like me, an ordinary person, this move is still difficult to use.

  Looking down further, the more I looked, the more confused I became. There wasn't a single move that I could use. It seemed like this book needed to be studied with Zhong Ling'er. Thinking of this, I decided to go find Zhong Ling'er.

  Then, I went to ask my mother for leave. My mother asked me where I was going. I said that my wife hadn't come home for a long time and I missed her, so I wanted to go see her. My mother smiled and said okay, you can go, but remember to tell her to come over for dinner.

  It's clear that Mother genuinely likes Wu Lele. Alas, unfortunately, I like Zhong Ling'er instead.

  I straddled the motorcycle and sped off towards Zhong Ling'er's house with a thrilling spirit.

  Halfway through, the phone suddenly rang, I took it out and looked at it, my heart moved, and I answered it eagerly.
