Chapter 52: Wronged Spirit (5)

  Before long, the sun sets in the west, and the remaining sunlight shines on the backs of two men and two women. They ask for directions along the way and head to Lianhua Mountain where the famous "Lianxin Temple" is located.

  According to folklore, this mountain had many flowers resembling lotus flowers that grew on land in ancient times, so it was called "Lotus Mountain". It is said that among the mountain flowers, a huge flower bud gave birth to an immortal. After ascending to heaven, the immortal did not forget the nurturing kindness of the mountain and protected every grass and tree on the mountain as well as the common people at the foot of the mountain. Therefore, this mountain is also called "Immortal Mountain".

  "Wow, Yan'er! The air is so good here!" Xian Qi shouted loudly as she walked.

  "Yes." Xiao Yan replied calmly, but her heart was racing like a deer, the halfway up the mountain was Lian Xin Guan, would that Taoist really be waiting for her in the temple?

  The four of them soon arrived at a Taoist temple halfway up the mountain that was packed with people.

  Many simply dressed women were walking back and forth, holding offerings or incense in their hands. Hyun took hold of a woman in her forties or fifties and asked with a smile:

  "Auntie, what are you doing?"

  The woman looked at Xianhuan and the others with disdain and said:

  "Didn't you see me praying for blessings? This deity is really effective, all prayers are answered! If we don't hurry to the Daoguan Temple before sunset, it will be closed!"

  The woman then left with the incense in her hand.

  Just as the four of them stood there at a loss for what to do, a small Daoist priest wearing a light blue robe walked out of the crowd and spoke to Xiaoyan:

  "Hello miss, my family's Daoist priest has invited you."

  Is it that old Taoist priest? Xiaoyan thought to herself, smiling as she followed the young Taoist priest towards the back of the Daoist temple's main hall, with everyone else following closely behind.

  The back hall of the Taoist temple is a few wooden tile houses, with an ancient charm and a strong aura of immortality. The old Taoist priest with a white beard smiled and stroked his beard, standing outside the wooden tile house.

  "Is the young lady afraid that I'm plotting something evil? And you've even brought a policeman along." The old Taoist said with a smile.

  "How did you know my brother is a policeman?" Xian Qi couldn't help but ask the old Taoist, her heart filled with surprise and doubt.

  The old Taoist just laughed and didn't respond.

  "Don't get me wrong, Xian Huang is my friend, he also wants to know about that woman's affairs." Xiao Yan explained hastily.

  "Hello, Daozhang. You knew my profession just by seeing me once, I admire you." Xianhuan also smiled and stepped forward to say to the old Taoist priest.

  "Haha... it's just a small trick after all." The old Taoist laughed even more happily.

  "Did the Taoist priest say earlier that the woman wanted me to help her?" After a while, Xiaoyan asked the old Taoist priest directly in front of her, without hiding much, she couldn't bear it for another moment.

  "Yes. Young lady, don't be impatient, listen to me slowly. According to what I see, the woman's death was deeply resentful, so she devised a way to lure people to the place where she died. She can then appear in their dreams at night or possess them, letting this person help her avenge her grievances and report her revenge, only then can her soul be freed to reincarnate." The old Taoist priest said with his hands behind his back, speaking slowly.

  "So I'm not the first person to see her?" Xiaoyan was startled and asked hastily.

  "Of course, but before that, the woman who saw her didn't get any help from anyone, and she couldn't stay on those people or in their dreams for too long, so she had to find a way to come to you and ask for your help." The old Taoist explained.

  "Why did you find me? Is it because I'm a yin spirit? Just like what the master said?" Xiaoyan lowered her eyes, recalling the words of the spiritual medium, and felt a pang in her heart.

  "Haha... Don't worry, young lady! What 'extreme yin spirit' is just nonsense spouted by some quack on the streets! She'll find you only because you have a cat. Cats are originally spiritual and evil creatures that connect with the underworld, and since it's a pure black cat, it can be used by ghosts and monsters!" The old Taoist laughed loudly, and when he said "quack on the streets", he also gave Ye Chen a meaningful glance.

  Ye Chen's face turned red with embarrassment as he looked at him like that, and he muttered to himself, this old Taoist really remembers grudges!
