Chapter 32: Buddhist beads for beauty

As they were talking, a sharp cold wind blew over, and the three of them turned their heads to look at the door.

Shen Zhiyi said: “She’s back, teacher, be mentally prepared.”

Almost as soon as she finished speaking, the tightly closed iron door suddenly flew open, and a dark mist rushed in, gathered on the ground, and then spun to form a human figure.

A woman in red stood in the yard, her eyes sunken and dark, pupilless, yet one could sense she could see everything. A glaring red mark ran down her neck, the depth of which indicated she had been strangled to death with something thin, like a rope, from the right side of her neck.

Shen Zhiyi turned her head and looked up at the man beside her, worried that he would be frightened by what he saw. She wanted to say something to comfort him, but she saw that his eyes were stern, his brows were slightly furrowed, and he looked righteous.

Are all men so brave?

"What are you looking at? Is it my sister who has returned? Or someone else?"

Yu Fangeng, who couldn't see anything, was extremely anxious and jumped to Shen Zhiyi and yelled.

Shen Zhiyi said calmly: “Your sister has been upgraded.”

Yu Fangeng was overjoyed, "Great, what did you get promoted to?"

"Evil ghost."

Yu Fanggeng's smile suddenly froze.

Having read so many books on metaphysics these days, he knew very well what this meant.

If the souls that linger in the world do not hurt others, they can continue to enter the cycle of reincarnation. However, once they are controlled by resentment and hurt others, they will become irrational ghosts. If they hurt innocent people, they will never be able to return. In serious cases, they will be killed by the heaven and their souls will be scattered!

Evil ghosts are often killing machines without any intelligence, and it is difficult for them not to hurt innocent people!

"What should we do, Miss Shen, save her, save her..."

At this time, Xiao Lanting said: "It's not too late."

This is what Shen Zhiyi wanted to say. She was surprised: "How do you know?"

Although he could now see what she saw, without the relevant knowledge, he could not see anything at all.

Xiao Lanting didn't say anything, took out the Buddhist beads on his wrist and threw them to Yu Fanli.

In an instant, a dazzling white light surrounded Yu Fanli and tightened.

Her twisted and hideous face gradually returned to normal amidst her constant roaring, the black energy in her eyes dissipated, and the color of her clothes returned to what she was wearing before her death.

Xiao Lanting said, "This Buddhist bead was given to me by a great monk. I've always wanted to see its power, and now I finally got to see it."

Shen Zhiyi felt that it was somewhat redundant to open his third eye.

She really didn't know this man well enough.

Although Yu Fangeng couldn't see anything, he could strongly feel that the aura around him had changed significantly compared to before, and he panicked instantly: "My sister... has disappeared?"

"Don't worry, she's still here. Although your sister hurt people, she didn't hurt innocent people, and she didn't take their lives, so her transformation wasn't complete. These Buddhist beads have a very strong purifying power, and they stopped her transformation in time within the effective time."

"That's good, that's good!" Yu Fanggeng breathed a sigh of relief, tears welling in his eyes. He gritted his teeth and made a decision: "Miss Shen, if possible, please send my sister to reincarnation. I'm worried that it will be bad for her to stay here any longer."

The time for each soul is very limited. Once the time is missed, there will be no chance of reincarnation.

Shen Zhiyi walked towards the sobbing woman, temporarily putting her back into the jade ring, "The time is not right yet."

She picked up the Buddhist beads and returned them to Xiao Lanting.

"This item is blessed by the Buddha's light of a high-level monk. It can protect everything and block ordinary dirt. You are not being deceived."

Xiao Lanting stood with his hands behind his back and did not reach out to take it.

"It's for you."

"Ah? Send it to me?"

"No, this thing has spiritual energy. Any spiritual object will recognize its owner. You are the one it wants to protect. How can you give it to others casually?"

Xiao Lanting held her hand and pushed the Buddhist beads onto her wrist, his eyes calm: "I have plenty of this kind of things."

"Ms. Chen, just accept it and don't let Mr. Xiao worry." Yu Fanggeng gave her a teasing look.

Shen Zhiyi actually doesn't need this kind of protection.

But at this moment, for some reason, she couldn't say the rejection that was on her lips.

Just think of it as reassuring him.

Thinking about it, her hands dropped and she thanked him generously: "Then I'm welcome. Thank you."

Xiao Lanting didn't seem to care at all. His expression was calm, and his clear voice was calm and powerful, without a trace of panic. "I won't interfere in Yu Fanli's affairs. I will treat what happened tonight as a dream."

This is exactly what Shen Zhiyi wanted.

She didn't want to involve him in these things.

If his father found out, he would definitely be accused of being a traitor.

Yu Fangeng was relieved and said, "Thank you, Third Master. My sister will definitely be very grateful to you."

Xiao Lanting didn't look at him and said to Shen Zhiyi, "Go and have a rest. You still have classes tomorrow."

"Are you leaving?"

"I have something to take care of." He grabbed the car keys and walked towards the garage without looking back.

Staring at the car going away, Yu Fanggeng asked worriedly, "Will he go and tell Xiao Yi about this, and then call the police to arrest us?"

So quiet.

Yu Fangeng turned his head to look at Shen Zhiyi in confusion, and suddenly found that the other party was looking at him as if he were mentally retarded.

He curled his lips and said weakly: "I said the wrong thing, I'm sorry."

Shen Zhiyi didn't bother with him and went back to the bedroom to rest.

With my hands resting on the pillow, I could see the Buddhist beads as soon as I opened my eyes. The sandalwood blended with another special fragrance, and as I smelled it, my heart became peaceful and calm.

But she couldn't sleep.

It just so happened that Fan Xiaoqing sent her a message.

After the car accident made the news, in order to avoid worrying her family and friends, she posted a message on WeChat Moments to report that she was safe, and then she received many private messages.

Her father and elder brother were the most anxious, and she had to comfort them to avoid them coming to check on her.

Fan Xiaoqing's message arrived the latest, saying that she was not allowed to look at her phone during dance practice. I was shocked when I saw it.

"Are you really okay?"

Shen Zhiyi said: "Didn't netizens take a lot of videos? I was standing there vividly."

"Well, I saw it, but you should get checked out to avoid any internal injuries."

"I checked."

"That's good. I've also seen the surveillance video. That woman is so speechless. She was trying to overtake and was accidentally hit by you. She kept pointing at you and cursing at you. And she's so pretty."

Shen Zhiyi didn't have anything to say about that woman, but she remembered what she said to Xiao Lanting.

It sounded like her mother had done something extremely cruel to Xiao Lanting.

It's about wine.

**

In the Xiao family's east wing, the master bedroom was brightly lit.

It was late at night, but Xiao Yigan's wife and children were standing by the window, looking anxious.

"Doctor, is my dad okay?"

The family doctor put down his stethoscope and said with a worried look on his face: "Based on the examination, there is nothing serious."

"No problem, why aren't you awake yet?"
