Chapter Ch116.2 - Snow Pear Flavored Dead Gong (15)

Translated by Hua Li ^_~
He had considered this for a long time. Although Bi Xia didn’t show it, he knew that the essence of the sun was extremely harmful to Bi Xia. The pain he had to endure was much more severe than when he was invaded by ghost energy and got a severe cold. Although he hoped to have a delicious meal of soul power every day, he restrained his appetite, not giving in even when Bi Xia begged him.
Originally, he racked his brains thinking about how to seamlessly transfer the system-produced ten-thousand-year cultivation to Bi Xia in a reasonable way. Now, the existence of these high-cultivation timid ghosts was like a gift falling into his lap.
Hearing this, Bi Xia’s eyes also lit up.
This way, they wouldn’t have to guard at noon every day. Bi Xia could do whatever he wants, anytime, anywhere… perfect!
The two of them happily cleared out the accompanying items and artifacts in the main burial chamber, heading towards the Ming family.
When they left the ancient tomb, the sky was already faintly bright, and it was dawn. At this moment, Bi Xia’s eyes flashed, and he changed to a gentle expression—since the division of the Heavenly Soul into two, Bi Xia’s two personalities had reached an agreement. Unless under special circumstances, each of them would take turns having one day’s time.
Bi Xia also didn’t like the atmosphere here, but he didn’t mind. Looking at Gou Liang’s bright eyes that hadn’t slept all night, he smiled gently and said, “Tired or not, shall I carry you down the mountain?”
“Not tired, I want to be carried!”
Without further ado, Gou Liang jumped onto him, clinging to Bi Xia like a sloth.
Bi Xia kissed his ear, stroked his head, and said, “Sleep, I’ll watch over you.”
Although Gou Liang wasn’t tired initially, he quickly fell asleep in Bi Xia’s soothing words. When he woke up again, it was already noon.
Daoist Lin was the first to notice Gou Liang’s return and hurried out to greet him.
Gou Liang had a good impression of him, so he reminded him, “The ancestors of the Ming family made a solemn vow to serve the Ghost Lord. Now, betraying their oath, the current plight of the Ming family is just reaping what they sowed. Last night, I already subdued the Ghost Lord, severing his worldly ties. From now on, without the Ghost Lord’s protection, the Ming family will face an inevitable fate. Daoist Lin, it’s better not to get involved too deeply, to avoid unnecessary karmic entanglements and disruptions to your cultivation.”
Daoist Lin quickly expressed his gratitude and said, “Master Meng’s words are indeed wise. This old Daoist will remember them well. However, my visit to Shuangye City this time is not only for the Ming family but also a task assigned by the organization. Embarrassingly, as my cultivation is still shallow, I cannot deal with the cunning ghost I am after. Originally, I thought of seeking help from above, but since I encountered Master Meng here, I wonder if you have some free time lately?”
“What’s the matter? Tell me about it.”
Gou Liang is now also receiving a salary from the country, and the task allowances for each mission are considerable. With the salary of the king, there is no reason to decline.
Moreover, there are still people in the capital who are trying to visit him. Delaying them for a day to make them more anxious is something Gou Liang is happy to do.
Daoist Lin quickly invited him to sit in the back hall and explained the details of the task.
A month ago, there were three consecutive cases of student suicides at Shuangye High School. Oh, plus the car accident case yesterday, classified as suicide, making it the fourth.
Initially, everyone thought it was due to the students’ academic pressure, as these students showed signs of depression before their suicides. Although it was heartbreaking, it did not raise suspicions. It wasn’t until the third suicide case that the parent found in the daughter’s diary phrases like “I don’t want to die, why does he force me to die” and “I’m so scared.” They concluded that it was murder, prompting the police to investigate more intensively.
However, they did not find any reasonable explanation.
Later, it was under the guidance of a local feng shui master that the case was classified as a special one, and it was reported to the special operations department.
Daoist Lin said, “In recent years, my cultivation has stagnated, so I wandered around the mortal world seeking opportunities. When passing through this place, I happened to see the organization posting this task and thought that since there was nothing else to do, I might as well take it. Unexpectedly, that elusive ghost is proving to be quite troublesome. I tracked it several times but only found some minor ghosts controlled by it. Later, I heard about the strange occurrences in the Ming family and thought it might be related to that elusive ghost. That’s why I came to Ming’s house.”
Now that it has been proven that the Ming family’s situation has nothing to do with the ghost he is after, Daoist Lin naturally doesn’t need to stay at Ming’s house.
Gou Liang said, “Speaking of which, I was also present at the car accident at the crossroads yesterday.”
Before he could finish his sentence, the thoughtful Bi Xia had already taken out the bottle containing the ghost of the crossroads and released the fierce ghost that Gou Liang hadn’t had time to refine yet.
This ghost also died in a car accident. The death was so painful that Gou Liang even forgot that the original owner was timid and afraid of ghosts. Bi Xia raised his hand to cover his eyes, took out sunglasses from his backpack and put them on for him.
Gou Liang was startled for a moment, smiled sweetly at Bi Xia, and then told Daoist Lin about the causes and consequences of yesterday’s car accident.
This ghost also died three years ago, in a car accident at the crossroads in front of Shuangye High School. However, his death was not an accident.
He was originally a student of Shuangye High School, with excellent grades and qualified for admission to a prestigious university. However, the problem was that there was only one spot available for recommendation, and his good friend also had the qualifications. Just for that spot, he was pushed into the road by his good friend in an unguarded moment, resulting in a fatal car accident. Not only was the person who harmed him not brought to justice, but he also smoothly obtained the recommended spot. Thus, his resentment turned into a fierce ghost.
But due to his low cultivation, he was left with only the instincts of killing and escaping.
Knowing the past and present of this fierce ghost, Daoist Lin, watching the roaring ghost before him, sighed, “The small ghosts I captured earlier also had unfortunate backgrounds. It’s a pity that they have already committed sins, even if they are sent into reincarnation, they will have to atone for the sins of this life, and they will be even more unfortunate than in this life.”
Gou Liang, not as compassionate as him, asked, “Daoist Lin, after investigating for so long, do you have any clues?”
Daoist Lin hurriedly said, “This old Daoist is powerless. After investigating for several days, I only found that these small ghosts died three years ago, and they are all related to Shuangye High School. They were either students or staff. But when I went to Shuangye High School twice to investigate, I couldn’t identify the instigator… I am really ashamed.”
Gou Liang waved his hand and said, “The world is vast, and there are people above people. Daoist Lin, don’t belittle yourself. I’ll go talk to my friend first, and then we’ll go to Shuangye High School together.”
Ming Ming had already awakened, but his energy and blood were depleted, and he was extremely weak.
He Hao had long wanted to take him back to the capital, but he was afraid that the ghost soul attached to him had not been completely eliminated, so he didn’t dare to act recklessly.
Gou Liang briefly explained the origin of the disaster for the Ming family, let them go back as soon as possible, and avoid getting involved in the affairs of the Ming family.
He Hao naturally couldn’t refuse, but still worriedly asked, “Although Ming Ming is not close to them, he is still a member of the Ming family. Will he be harmed too?”
Based on the timid ghosts in the ancient tomb, there would naturally be no extremely vicious retaliation means. As long as Ming Ming served without doing evil and not coveting things that didn’t belong to him, maintaining a righteous body, he would naturally not be harmed.
Gou Liang was about to explain, but then he thought that if he didn’t do something, they would definitely feel uneasy. So, thoughtfully, he took out a pearl the size of a marble from the Qiankun Bag and said, “This is something I took out from the grave, carrying the aura of the Ghost Lord. If Ming Ming carries it with him, the Ghost Lord will recognize him as one of his own, even if he has the blood of the Ming family, he will not harm him. But this price…”
He Hao very generously said, “The price is negotiable!”
So, making a big profit from He Hao, Gou Liang invited Bi Xia and Daoist Lin to a big meal in the city, and then they headed to Shuangye High School.
As soon as they stepped into Shuangye High School, Bi Xia’s brows furrowed imperceptibly.
“What’s wrong, Bi Xia?”
Gou Liang was afraid that there might be something here that was not favorable to him.
Bi Xia circled him, rubbing his head with his chin, and only then did he ease the discomfort on his body. In a deep voice, he said, “There’s something here that is absorbing ghost souls.”
Gou Liang and Daoist Lin were both shocked. Following Bi Xia’s lead, they found the source of the soul-sucking entity.
—It turned out to be a formation!
“It seems,” Gou Liang said, “that this time the mischief is not caused by ghosts, but by human hearts.”
