Chapter Eighteen: The Auspicious Character Leads the Way

  Did he cry? I was stunned by the side. Yue had already understood: "Ming, didn't you hear her call him brother, he is Zi Lin Wang."

  What?! The voice of Zi Lin Wang isn't an old man's! How can it be a young boy's?!

  The young man picked up the golden-backed mouse and slowly stood up: "I'll go, and soon my husband will come to find you." With a bang, the young man and the golden-backed mouse had already disappeared.

  Old man!!! He really is the Purple Scale King. I look towards the nearby village above, the purple large net has already disappeared without a trace, what's going on?

  There is too much confusion and misunderstanding. What kindness does the Purple Scaled King owe to the Golden Backed Mouse? Why did the Purple Scaled King transform into a human form, and it's actually a young man!

  Why did Jin Bei Laoshu end up in repentance... Too many unresolved questions, I'll wait until Zi Lin Wang finds me and ask him clearly then.

  Now I'll hurry with Yue to see how Old Liu is doing. The two of us hurriedly ran towards Old Liu's home.

  I entered the house and found Old Liu's parents and Old Ban still there. Old Ban saw that I was covered in blood and anxiously asked, "Xu Ming, what happened? Where are you hurt?"

  I smiled and said: "It's okay, this isn't my blood, it's the mouse's blood. I've already chased her away. Let me go see how Old Liu is doing."

  "Rat?!" Old Liu's parents were shocked after hearing it. They wanted to ask more, but they thought it was better to let me see Old Liu first.

  I walked into Old Liu and saw that his complexion had returned to normal. Although the matter was settled, he still needed to take good care of himself for a while.

  I turned around and said to Old Liu's parents: "Uncle, aunt, he is fine now. You take good care of him, I'm leaving. When I have time, I will come visit him again."

  Uncle Liu and Aunt Liu wanted to ask what was going on, but since I didn't say anything, they couldn't ask more questions, so they just said some words of gratitude.

  I was just about to leave when I suddenly thought of something! There are still many evil spirits under this house, and if it goes on like this for a long time, it will definitely not be good for Old Liu's family.

  "So I stopped in my tracks and said, 'Uncle, aunt, there's still something unresolved that I need to take care of. Could you please step aside for a moment?'"

  "Ah? Alright, let's go then." Liu Shu hastily replied. Liu Yi's eyes seemed somewhat dissatisfied, but she still followed him out.

  The teacher didn't say much, just patted me on the shoulder: "I believe in you." Teacher, with these words, I don't know how happy I am as a student.

  After they left, I locked the door and called out to Yue: "This room has a lot of yin spirits. Can you try communicating with them and ask what's going on? Why are they gathering here? I have too much evil energy on me, and if I get too close, I'm afraid they'll be scared."

  "Okay, I'll give it a try."

  Yuè yī dòng shēn, xiàng dìxià dùn qù. Wǒ zé zài lǎo liú pángbiān jìngjìng děng hòu, yě kěyǐ yòng shēnshàng de bìqì, bāng tā qūgǎn yīnqì.

  Translation:

  Yuè set off immediately and went underground. I stood quietly beside Old Liu, also using the evil energy on my body to help him drive away the yin energy.

  Twenty minutes later, with a loud crash, it appeared in front of me.

  Yue moved to the bedside and sat down: "Ming, there are nineteen yin spirits in total under this."

  "How can there be so many yin spirits? Why are they gathering here?" I furrowed my brow, the yin energy was so heavy, it would definitely harm my body if prolonged.

  Yu suddenly sighed: "This thing is not their fault, this place was originally a cemetery, the people buried here all died unexpectedly and became ghosts after death, they all had a certain number of years as ghosts, those with shorter years have been reincarnated, but those with longer years are being pressed by this house every day, so they're naturally uncomfortable."

  "Oh? What do they want?" I asked hastily.

  "They can't do anything, being suppressed by others and having no one to worship them. They can only wander around in this room all day without harming anyone." Yue's words revealed a sense of sympathy for them, and as a spirit himself, he probably knew that this was very uncomfortable for spirits.

  "Ming...". Yue wanted to say something.

  "Alright, I know. You don't have to say any more. I'm not a meddlesome person and they won't come after me. I'll go ask Old Liu's parents about it." I said as I stood up and walked out.

  As soon as I got outside, I saw Old Liu's parents and Old Ban sitting on a bench resting.

  Uncle Liu saw me coming out and quickly stood up to greet me: "Child, how are you? You've had a hard time."

  I quickly said: "No more hehe, and another thing, Liu Yun is my friend." I quickly changed my words, afraid that he would feel uncomfortable.

  "Kid, it's okay, you can call each other whatever you want among friends. Others even call me Little Liu haha." Uncle Liu surprisingly joked around, looks like he's really kind-hearted.

  "Then I'll discuss this matter with Uncle Liu: 'Uncle Liu, let's go inside and talk, I want to tell you something.'"

  "Alright, let's go, you and I will have a chat."

  We arrived at the living room in the house and sat on the sofa. Uncle Liu brought two cups of fruit juice and placed them on the coffee table.

  "I thought for a moment and said: 'Uncle Liu, I can feel that you are a straightforward person, so I won't beat around the bush with you.'"

  Liu Shu smiled and said: "Hehe, I, Liu Shu, may not be a great good person, but my heart is absolutely not bad, kid, what's on your mind, just say it."

  "Uncle Liu, I'll be straightforward with you, don't be afraid, there is a yin spirit in this house." As I spoke, I watched Uncle Liu's reaction. When he first heard the words "yin spirit", his face showed some panic, but then his eyebrows furrowed and he didn't appear to be very frightened.

  It seems that he had mentally prepared himself for this, and he said: "Child, is it those evil spirits that are harming our child? If so, then we were wrong first."

  I hastily said, "No, you're wrong about this. What harmed Old Liu was something else. These yin spirits were just discovered by me, they didn't harm your family members, but they've been lingering in your residence for a long time, which is harmful to your bodies."

  Uncle Liu's face seemed a bit ashamed: "It's our fault, this house you also saw, is a new house, originally built on a grave site, I thought it was not suitable at the time, but Liu Yun's mother thought the land was cheap and insisted on building here... Ah."

  I said seriously: "Liu Shu, in fact, they are already ghosts. You shouldn't build houses on the ground, but you shouldn't use other people's places without any gratitude. Fortunately, they are not evil spirits, otherwise, I'm afraid you would have gotten into trouble long ago."

  Liu Shu nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, this is our fault. What should we do?"

  Lao Liu's dad was such a reasonable person, so I saved myself a lot of trouble. I said: "Uncle Liu, every time there's a big or small festival, buy some things that the spirits use, light them up in your backyard and send them over."

  Liu Shu listened and nodded all along.

  "I continued: 'Uncle Liu, don't worry, they won't stay like this forever. They died unexpectedly, so they have a yin life span. Once their yin life span is over, they will naturally reincarnate and be reborn. Moreover, they will also remember your kindness, which will bring blessings to your family.'"

  Liu Shu listened and immediately said: "Good, I will definitely do it."

  Liu Shu suddenly looked at me and asked: "Can you tell me what kind of person you are?"

  I stood up with a smile: "Uncle Liu, you know I'm a friend of Liu Yun's, as long as I'm not a bad person, that's all right, I can't say anything else, please forgive me."

  Uncle Liu hastily said: "You don't have to be polite, it's me who asked too much, knowing you're a good person is enough haha." I went out with Uncle Liu and bid farewell to Aunt Liu and Old Ban one by one, then I took Yue back home.

  All the way back, recalling all sorts of things today, too many feelings, too much confusion, suddenly feeling that oneself is so small, one's journey of experience is endless.

  I'm too tired today, I must get a good rest when I get back, and then I'll find Zi Lin Wang to resolve my doubts again.

  In this vast world, it's not just about the myriad things, but also about the encounters between two people being a destined connection. It's not wrong for people to strive for fame and fortune, but don't lose yourself in the process. Who says that fate is ordinary? When interacting with others, put kindness first, and all evils will cease.
