Chapter Thirty-Four Little Girl

  Fu Chuan knew that it wasn't the right time to rush into Jiahe Building to catch ghosts, there were still some things he didn't understand, Fu Chuan wouldn't take action easily, even if he had promised Xiao Liu, he wouldn't start setting up an altar in Jiahe Building.

  But now it seems that this matter is indeed a strange and mysterious event, and with the old man's strange request, Fu Chuan feels that this matter has become even more confusing and unclear.

  Fuhe wanted to find the descendants of the principal of that school back then to understand the situation, so he let Sanyang investigate. Sanyang was able to do this and in less than half a day, he found the address of the principal's descendant, but it showed that they were in Taiwan.

  Fu Chuan had to take a night flight to Taiwan, where he found the descendant of Principal Lin in a ordinary apartment in Taipei. After knowing Fu Chuan's intention, the principal's son and daughter both expressed that they didn't want to say anything. Seeing their attitude, Fu Chuan felt even more that there must be something hidden.

  At this time, Fu Chuan took out a badge with a line of English words on it. From their appearance and the simple furnishings in the house, but with all sorts of calligraphy and paintings hanging around, it was clear that they were educated people who could understand the few sentences of English on the ID card. The ID card had been obtained by Xing Chengtian to help him out, and he had used it several times before, each time quite effectively.

  They told Fu Chuan that his father was originally from Taiwan, but had been living in Canada for a long time and was also a businessman. Later, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Canada raised funds to build a school in their hometown, and after the school was completed, everyone elected their father as the principal.

  Actually, from the time they bought the land to the construction, strange things kept happening. They said that at this point, their eyes suddenly felt guilty. They told Fu Chuan that at the beginning of the construction, there were several accidents and a few workers died. The police came to investigate and also said it was an accident, so they didn't pursue it further.

  But my father always seemed to know something, yet he kept it from others. "Why did your father keep it from others?" Fu Chuan asked.

  At this time, the principal's daughter handed a glass of water to Fu Chuan. She took over and said: "At that time, funds were very tight. If Father told those people who raised funds in Hua Shanghui, they might not continue to give money. At that time, the school couldn't continue to be built either."

  "My father was also a principal of a small school in Hualien before he went to Canada for business. My father's business in Canada was quite successful, so he handed over the business to my brother very early on. My father's lifelong wish is to be able to teach again and bring up more useful students."

  Fujiang didn't want to hear these family stories, so he interrupted Miss Lin's words and asked: "Did your father tell you what happened on the construction site back then?"

  They looked at Fu Chuan, seemingly not understanding what he meant. Fu Chuan changed his approach and asked: "I'd like to ask, was there anything unusual that happened on the construction site back then, something beyond your father's knowledge? For example, did the temperature suddenly drop, or did someone suddenly fall ill but recover as soon as they were sent to the hospital?"

  Fujiang's question makes sense, as a ghost is a collection of illness, disaster, plague and bad luck. If a ghost appears on the construction site, someone will definitely fall ill or feel unwell and become violent for no reason.

  At this time, Miss Lin suddenly thought of something and said: "I remember my father saying that the school started construction in the summer, but not long after the start of work, several workers fell ill. Those people seemed to have contracted some kind of disease, their whole body was cold, but at that time it was midsummer, I was still young and didn't know if I remembered correctly, but at that time my father also found some people to go to the construction site to check, but they all said there were no problems on the construction site, so as to reassure my father."

  On such a hot summer day with the temperature soaring, Fu Xiang couldn't help but secretly laugh to himself, thinking that it was very likely that they were possessed by ghosts. Fu Xiang put down his water cup and asked them: "Why did your father commit suicide in the end?"

  Mr. Lin sighed and his eyes dimmed, telling Fu Chuan that it was all because of his own incompetence that the business in Canada had been ruined, and his father had no choice but to sell the school to pay off debts. Originally, it was a good location with a good land value, even if they had to sell cheaply due to financial difficulties, the price wouldn't have been too low. However, at that time, there was an incident where a teacher killed their own student, which scared away potential buyers.

  Fuhe asked: "Has anyone died on the construction site before?"

  Mr. Lin looked at Fu Chuan, he originally wanted to hide it, seeing that hiding was not possible, he also wanted to say it out loud, "I said it just to clear my father's name, back then everyone said my father embezzled the school's money, so he committed suicide in fear of punishment. But who knew my father used all his savings from those years to build the school, how could he possibly destroy his own life's work."

  "You're right, what you said is true. At that time, the construction site was like a dead place. The workers were killing each other like they were crazy, and they even pulled out each other's internal organs. After the police came, they investigated for a long time but couldn't find any results. Later, they hastily closed the case, saying it was because of drunkenness, that several workers had gotten into a fight after a disagreement, and it eventually escalated into a vicious murder."

  Fu Xiang asked: "Do you believe me? Or are you still hiding something from me? What do you know about that murderous teacher? I don't want you to hide anything from me. I think you also wouldn't want your father's spirit in heaven to not rest in peace, right?"

  Miss Lin said, "Yes, at that time my father also felt that way." She glanced at her younger brother as she spoke, and after getting his nod of approval, she continued: "After so many things happened on the construction site, my father thought it was very strange and eerie, so he invited a master to come and take a look. However, after the master went to the construction site, he didn't say anything and left, even returning the money that had been paid in advance to my father. Within a few days, my father learned that this master had hanged himself at home. Later, my father invited many other masters, but as soon as they stepped onto the construction site, they were too afraid to go further and ran away rolling and crawling."

  "Afterwards, no one dared to take over my father's business, until my father met a female master, who helped my father get through that difficult time. However, the female master also told my father that he couldn't tear down the school and build something else, or else he wouldn't be able to stay safe."

  "Shifu?" Fuchuan thought, there's such a powerful Shifu. "What's that Shifu's name?"

  She said: "I heard from my father that his surname is Li."

  Fu Chuan understood as soon as he heard the name and continued to ask: "What happened later?"

  Miss Lin said: "Later, for ten years after the school was completed, nothing happened until that thing happened again in the school."

  Fu Chuan knew what it was about, "Have you ever heard your father mention this matter?"

  Miss Lin nodded: "Father said that teacher was wronged, it had nothing to do with that teacher, and blamed him."

  Later, Fu Chuan left and returned to the hotel. Miss Lin told him that when such a big thing happened at school that year, his father had told them that everything was over. Originally, Master wanted to go find that female master to resolve it, but that female master had already refused. The female master told their father that everything has its cause and effect, she was powerless, her ability could only keep the school safe for ten years.

  Fu Chuan returned to the hotel and took a bath. He voluntarily called Li Baobao, which was the first time he had called her since returning from Yunnan.

  The two fell silent on the phone for a while, and Fu Chuan spoke first to ask Li Baobao if her aunt had helped a principal with the surname Lin back then. Li Baobao seemed to think for a moment before saying yes.

  Li Baobao told Fu Chuan that her aunt had helped someone with the surname Lin in the past. Li Baobao asked Fu Chuan why he was asking about this, and Fu Chuan asked Li Baobao why someone with the surname Lin came to ask for her aunt's help again, but she didn't help them. Li Baobao told Fu Chuan that it was because her master didn't have the ability to eliminate the vengeful spirit, so they could only temporarily seal it away. Later, they were forced to seal it, and her aunt couldn't do anything about it either. Li Baobao told Fu Chuan that these things were all told to her by her aunt before she passed away, and it was also one of her aunt's regrets over the years.

  Fu Xiang connected what he knew from Li Baobao with what he had found out in the past few days, and he felt that a general outline had emerged.

  At this moment, Fu Chuan felt a chill wind blowing behind him. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, and on the glass, a ferocious and distorted white face appeared, its bloody mouth wide open, standing right behind Fu Chuan. Fu Chuan closed his eyes as if he were meditating, and quietly pulled out a yellow talisman which he stuck onto his chest. With this talisman, the vengeful spirit could no longer approach him or attach itself to his body.

  This vengeful spirit has been hovering around Fu Chuan's side, seemingly looking for a place to strike, and Fu Chuan is also quietly waiting for its next move.

  Fujiang felt that something was following him from the moment he got off the plane, but he didn't try to shake it off. He just wanted to know what it wanted to do.

  Just as the resentful spirit finally lost its patience and pounced on Fu Chuan, he turned around to face it, his ten fingers forming a lotus mudra, and struck its forehead with one blow. It was dispersed, but Fu Chuan knew that it would soon gather together again.

  Fu Xiang took advantage of the opportunity to take out a peach wood sword from his luggage, which was packed in a gift box designed by San Yang, so it wouldn't be confiscated at customs.

  Fujiang watched as the white shadow gradually gathered, slowly forming into a complete human figure. It was a frail girl wearing white clothes, just like the ones he had seen in the few photos tucked away in his scroll.

  Sometimes it was a low-voiced crying girl, sometimes it turned into a ferocious and sinister spirit with a black body, roaring at Fu Chuan: "It's none of your business, don't interfere!"

  At this time, he cried out to Guan Yu: "Uncle, don't take me in, I haven't done anything wrong." At that moment, he was a pitiful little beggar.

  Fu Xiang looked at it, silently cursing its madness, but just as he was about to subdue it, it suddenly transformed into a completely black vengeful spirit.

  Black vengeful spirit, this was something Fu Chuan had never seen before. Fu Chuan knew that the Peach Wood Sword was useless against it. He bit his finger and smeared the blood on the Peach Wood Sword. When the sword flew out of Fu Chuan's hand, it suddenly disappeared from the room, threatening him before vanishing: "You dare to hurt me, I won't let you off!"
