Chapter 63: The Unlucky Star 10

  The immortals in the urn are different from ordinary ghosts, they can condense into a physical body, so even people like Song Meng Zhou Jun who have no spiritual inspiration at all can see them.

  After Song Meng finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Zhou Jun beside him, "Old Zhou, did you see that? A woman wearing ancient clothes, pinch me! I'm not dreaming!"

  "Wait a minute, I'll just smoke a cigarette to calm down." Zhou Jun said, habitually reaching for his cigarettes, but unfortunately he was wearing pajamas at the moment and didn't have any cigarettes on him.

  "What's going on so late at night?" Just as Song Meng and Zhou Jun were busy calming down from the shock, another door opened, and Shen Qianlan's tormentor Ye Cheng arrived late, "What happened?"

  Song Meng and Zhou Jun simultaneously turned their heads, looking at Ye Cheng together. Then one raised his hand to scratch his hair, while the other made a deep thinking face.

  ……

  Ten minutes later, five people wearing pajamas gathered in the study where the jade tank was placed.

  It was still chilly on this early spring night, but Ye Cheng's villa had the heating turned up high enough that he didn't feel any cold at all even in his pajamas.

  The jade tray was still placed on the desk, just at the position where Gu Yin painted the characters, without any sign of being moved. The five people stood around the desk in a circle, in silence.

  Ye Cheng, who still knew nothing about what had happened in the corridor, looked from his right hand Song Meng, counterclockwise to Zhou Jun, Gu Yin, and finally fell on Qin Fei holding a cup on his left hand. However, all four of them were staring at the jade tank at this moment, without any intention of solving his doubts.

  Gu Yin stood at the position closest to the jade altar, looking at the jade altar with a somewhat gloomy expression on his face.

  Tonight, Shen Qiu Lan will appear, it was within his expectations, what he didn't expect was that Qin Fei would run out of the room in the middle of the night and coincidentally bump into Shen Qiu Lan who had just left his room. The state of Shen Qiu Lan at that time would make Gu Yin not feel surprised, but he did not expect her to reveal a frightened expression towards Qin Fei, and that attitude seemed to be one of recognizing Qin Fei.

  "Have you ever seen that woman before?" Gu Yin asked Qin Fei sideways.

  Qin Fei shook his head, "Never seen it."

  It's no wonder that Qin Fei can't get an answer, so I can only ask Shen Qianlan. Ye Cheng is still alive, and with Shen Qianlan's persistence towards Ye Cheng, she will definitely come out of the Jade Altar again. The only thing is, I don't know when Shen Qianlan will appear next time.

  Gu Yin sighed and collected his gloomy expression, looking at Qin Fei with some helplessness. "What are you doing wandering around the corridor in the middle of the night?"

  Qin Fei raised the cup in his hand and said: "I forgot to bring a water bottle before going to bed, I'll go downstairs to the kitchen to get some water."

  Gu Yin: "......"

  Ye Cheng looked at Gu Yin, then at Qin Fei, and seeing that they seemed to have nothing more to say, he cleared his throat and asked: "Now - who can tell me what just happened in the corridor?"

  Song Meng wrapped his arm around Ye Cheng's shoulder, leading him to sit down on the sofa, and then vividly described what he had seen in the corridor with Shen Qianlan. After listening, Ye Cheng turned his gaze to Gu Yin, smiling wryly: "Gu Da Shen, please be kind and stop watching the show, okay?"

  Gu Yin glanced at Ye Cheng lightly and spat out two words, "No rush."

  Ye Cheng: "......" You're not anxious! I'm very anxious! These vengeful spirits have all escaped from the Jade Altar! This crisis has increased to over 70% in just a few minutes, okay?!

  Ye Cheng turned his gaze to Qin Fei with a bitter expression. Abandoning someone to die, if it were Gu Yin, he might be able to do such a thing, but in contrast, Qin Fei was the kind of person who absolutely could not abandon someone to die.

  At this moment, Qin Fei stood near Gu Yin, staring closely at the jade altar, seemingly thinking about something, and did not receive Ye Cheng's line of sight.

  Qin Fei was somewhat concerned about the red-clothed woman. When she bumped into him in the corridor, she was stunned for a moment before revealing an expression of panic and confusion. From that look, it was clear that the woman recognized him. Qin Fei could confirm that he had never seen the woman before, but strangely, he didn't think she had mistaken him for someone else.

  But even if he stared at the jade tray like that, the answer wouldn't appear on its own, so before long, Qin Fei went back to his room and continued sleeping.

  Qin Fei walked ahead, followed by Gu Yin, then Zhou Jun, and finally Song Meng, who was yawning and planning to go back to sleep, but was pulled back by Ye Cheng, who had fallen behind.

  "Can you still sleep?" Ye Cheng asked.

  "Why can't you sleep?" Song looked at Ye Cheng with a puzzled expression.

  "Didn't you see that female ghost? You're not afraid at all?" When he first heard that the jade urn was an urn for ashes, Song Meng had a sense of reverence and distance. Now, in the middle of the night, after seeing a ghost, he could actually go back to sleep?

  Song Meng thought for a moment and said: "That female ghost looks quite good-looking, not scary at all!"

  Ye Cheng: "......"

  "I had heard that the jade urn was an ash urn, and that there was a lingering spirit inside, so I imagined it would be quite frightening." Song Meng said, "However, as it turns out, the most terrifying things often come from human imagination born of fear. Now that I've seen the female ghost, I feel okay about it. And besides, she's not even coming for me, what do I have to be afraid of?"

  Ye Cheng: "......"

  The next day, Shen Qianlan did not appear again, and nothing special happened to Ye Cheng. The days passed quietly, as if Shen Qianlan had never appeared.

  After several days of good weather, rain arrived, bringing inconvenient weather for going out. Song Meng, who was idle and anxious, suggested that everyone play mahjong together.

  Gu Yin was initially not very interested, so Qin Fei, Song Meng, Zhou Jun and Ye Cheng formed a table to play. Qin Fei is good at playing chess, but obviously not good at mahjong, slightly better than the beginner, after several rounds, he lost all his money. Gu Yin couldn't bear it anymore, went up and replaced Qin Fei's position.

  Qin Fei sat on one side, watching, and casually reached into his pocket to grab his phone to browse the news, but ended up with nothing. He thought back and remembered that he had forgotten to bring his phone downstairs when he came down this morning.

  He called out to Gu Yin and the others, then went upstairs to get his phone.

  As he went up the stairs, just as he stepped onto the second floor corridor carpet, Qin Fei was suddenly imprinted in his eyes. The person's shadow near the corner of the corridor railing startled him to take a step back, almost falling down the stairs. When he saw that the person's shadow raised its hand, he felt that his back had been supported by a force, barely stabilizing his body.

  Qin Fei let out a sigh of relief and looked up again at the corner.

  At that corner position, the one standing was precisely the red woman who had been seen in the corridor at midnight a few days ago. Her figure seemed to be much more transparent than what she had looked like a few days ago, and she stood silently in the shadowy position of the corner, motionless, and if not looking directly, it would have been easy to overlook her.

  Qin Fei looked at her, thinking about whether to call Gu Yin over. But this plan was ultimately dispelled by the other's humble and fearful attitude towards him.

  For some reason, he felt that this woman would never lay a hand on him. After hesitating for a moment, Qin Fei took a step closer to Shen Qianlan.

  Standing beside Shen Qianlan, Qin Fei stood by the railing and turned his head to look at Shen Qianlan again. At this time, Shen Qianlan's gaze was no longer on him, but had fallen into the living room downstairs. Standing in this position, looking down, you could see Gu Yin and others playing mahjong in the living room.

  Qin Fei followed Shen Qianlan's line of sight and wasn't particularly surprised to find that her gaze was focused on Ye Cheng.

  "Are you watching Ye Cheng?" Qin Fei asked.

  "Yes." Shen Qianlan replied in a low voice.

  Qin Fei paused slightly and continued to ask: "Why did you want to harm Ye Cheng?"

  This time, Shen Qianlan didn't answer immediately, remaining silent for a long time until Qin Fei turned his head to look at her. Only then did she speak in a low, mournful tone: "Before long, I will return to nothingness. At that time, my soul will disperse, and my spirit will pass through the path of the dead, reaching the River of Forgetfulness, where it will be extinguished...I want him to accompany me on this final journey."

  "But Ye Cheng is still alive..."

  "So I want him dead!" Shen Qianlan cut off Qin Fei's words, her tone suddenly turning cold. "He still owes me a lifetime of marriage, five years ago, in that life he promised me a lifetime of growing old together, but after my death, he married another woman. I died miserably, while he had children and grandchildren. I'm not willing to let it go, this time, I'll make him pay back everything he owes me!"

  Her face was twisted with a fierce and sinister expression, like a malevolent spirit, but her eyes were filled with sorrow.

  Qin Fei gazed quietly at Shen Qianlan, and after a long time, he let out a faint sigh. This sigh was like a thunderclap, startling Shen Qianlan who had fallen into a demonic trance. Shen Qianlan stumbled backward half a step, as if frightened, with a look of horror reappearing on his face.

  That expression made Qin Fei's confusion from a few days ago resurface again, "You... are you afraid of me? Why?"

  "Because... you are my benefactor..."

  "Benefactor?" Qin Fei looked at Shen Qianlan in confusion, he didn't remember saving her before.

  "That was you from several lifetimes ago." Shen Qianlan raised her eyes, gazing at Qin Fei, revealing a nostalgic expression as she began to recount that past.

  Five years ago, there was a merchant family named Shen, with two daughters, and Shen Qianlan was the youngest daughter of this family. Her elder sister married an official, and her older brothers also married wives from good families. Therefore, the family had no great demands on Shen Qianlan's choice of husband. After Shen Qianlan and Ye Cheng fell in love in their past life, they made a promise to each other to grow old together, and the Shen family agreed to this marriage. Although Ye Cheng at that time was just a poor scholar, it was still unknown whether he could pass the imperial examination.

  Just then, not long after they got engaged, Shen Qianlan was fancied by a local official's young master who wanted to force her into marriage. Shen Qianlan refused and hid in her sister's husband's house. Her brother-in-law's official position was roughly the same as that of the young master's father, so although he couldn't overpower him, he could still protect her to some extent.

  However, things didn't go as smoothly as expected.

  That young master of the official family was a ruthless character, who secretly hired assassins, disguised as robbers, and slaughtered my sister's whole family. At that time, Shen Qianlan, who was staying at my sister's house, couldn't escape either, and even her pregnant sister died under those people's knives.

  Shen Qianlan and her sister's family's death was not the end. Shen Qianlan's burial place was cursed by the young master of that official family using the blood of her unborn child, making it impossible for her soul to be reincarnated or become a malevolent spirit. Instead, she could only suffer under the curse - unable to dissipate her resentment, unable to calm her hatred, and with eyes wide open, all she could see was despair.

  Perhaps heaven really has long eyes, one day, that blood curse was inadvertently broken by someone, and she transformed into a fierce ghost, washing away the entire family of that official's young master.

  Dying unjustly, she became a vengeful spirit, stained with the light of blood. The consequences of her actions led to her being unable to reincarnate again, and she could only wander the world with hatred and resentment. At that time, she met Qin Fei from that life, who washed away all her wounds and sorrows, awakening her from her confusion, sealing her in a jade coffin, sending her back home, handing her over to her brother and sister-in-law, allowing her to guard for generations the family she had brought disaster upon.
