Chapter 43

After confirming they were cowards, Liu Danchen and I breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed this village was where they gathered. Now everything had returned to normal. The house we had just rested in was still lit, while the rest of the wooden houses were pitch black, blending in with the night.

"Are we still resting here?" Liu Danchen asked.

"Don't you think it's unlucky?" I said with disgust.

Liu Danchen heard my angry tone, and the "hehe" that came out of his mouth was particularly harsh in the quiet night. He was laughing at me for being scolded by those cowards just now.

I said angrily, "Pick up your luggage and let's go."

Liu Danchen reluctantly went inside with me to pack. This time, we kept things simple, so we finished packing quickly. Liu Danchen and I walked out of the village, one on each side. After walking for a while, we saw a bright light ahead of us, conspicuous in the darkness.

"There are still people living in this damn place?" Liu Danchen complained.

"Don't worry, you've encountered something unclean again." I said with a smile.

As we both approached, the house became clearer and clearer.

"Why does he look so familiar?" Liu Danchen asked puzzledly.

How could it not look familiar? That's the wooden house we just came out of.

Seeing this, I laughed. This was the coward taking revenge on us.

Liu Danchen was also amused when he saw the wooden house in front of him. He said with a smile: "This is a ghost wall."

"Okay, since they don't want us to leave, let's continue to rest here." I was too lazy to argue with those cowards.

A ghost wall is a place where you can't get out. Without external stimulation, you will keep going in circles. But for Liu Danchen and I, this is just a trick. We didn't choose to force it, but waited until dawn. Once the sun came out, the ghost wall would naturally disappear.

It's just right that we can rest for a while.

I walked to the wooden house, pushed the door open and went in. Liu Danchen had just put down his luggage when noisy voices were heard outside again.

"Oh, they are so annoying." I sighed.

Outside the house, there were those cowards again.

Liu Danchen and I stood at the door, watching them. They also watched us from a distance, but they couldn't shut their mouths and kept talking.

"Do you have any solution? I think they are quite annoying." Liu Danchen looked at me helplessly.

"I can't kill him, and I can't chase him away. What can I do?"

These cowards are considered wild ghosts. Killing them all would damage one's Yin virtue. Besides, ever since I learned the Yin Fu Lu, I've always remembered my grandfather's advice to avoid killing. And over the years, I've learned from Master Zhang that the best way to deal with ghosts is to allow them to enter reincarnation, not to kill them.

"Then I'll have to bear the hardship." Liu Danchen said reluctantly.

"What do you have in mind?" I asked curiously.

"Just help them to be liberated!" As soon as he said that, I suddenly realized why I had forgotten about this. These cowards are much easier to be liberated than ordinary ghosts.

After Liu Danchen finished speaking, he jumped onto the street, and the cowards around him all stepped back, fearing that they would be touched by him.

He sat cross-legged on the ground, chanting, "At that time, the Heavenly Venerable Savior of Suffering filled the ten directions. He constantly used his mighty power to save all living beings..."

Circles of golden light emanated from his mouth and landed on the nearest coward. Engulfed by the golden light, the coward's face flashed with surprise. Then, his oval head returned to normal, a look of relief on its face. He slowly rose from the ground and gradually disappeared into the air.

When the other cowards saw their companions being liberated, they all scrambled to get close to Liu Danchen, as they also wanted to be reborn.

However, Liu Danchen was alone after all. Although he could perform the exorcism quickly, there were dozens of ghosts there and it was already the late night. He was afraid that he would not be able to finish the exorcism even if he waited until dawn.

Those cowards also knew this truth. As the saying goes, if you miss this opportunity, you will miss it forever. They also knew that tonight might be their only chance, so they all gathered around Liu Danchen.

Watching Liu Danchen laboriously liberate one spirit after another, I reluctantly held the Feather Stone in my palm, a surge of compassion building. The Feather Stone shone with a golden light, enveloping the remaining spirits. At that moment, something unexpected happened. A gust of wind blew by, interrupting Liu Danchen's liberation. He opened his eyes, glanced at me in surprise, then warily glanced in the direction of the wind. He drew the sword from his back and retreated to my side.

There were footsteps in the strong wind, and the first thing that appeared was a kind face, except that his cheeks were very small. He looked at me with a smile.

I was closing my eyes and trying to liberate the ghosts, but I felt someone appearing, and I couldn't stop now.

That person gave me a familiar feeling, I think I have seen him before.

When Liu Danchen saw the old man, shock appeared in his eyes. He quickly clasped his hands together and bowed his head to the man.

The old man waved his hand, and the ghosts I had liberated were all held in his hand. This action interrupted my salvation, and I opened my eyes and looked at him.

With small cheeks and bare shoulders, she had a kind face.

Isn’t this the old man who took Lingling away when she was a child?

Just like last time, he smiled and nodded at me, then disappeared with the ghosts.

Streams of pure energy emanated from those cowards and were all absorbed by the Feather Stone. I could feel their gratitude.

After the old man left, Liu Danchen put his hand on my shoulder and said excitedly, "Little sister, how did you do that?"

I took out the feather stone and found that it was becoming less and less like a stone and was gradually evolving into a feather.

"I did it with feather-hair stone." Seeing Liu Danchen so excited, I felt a little proud.

Liu Danchen and the others have long been familiar with this feather stone and know that it is a treasure passed down from my family, but in their eyes, it is called a magic weapon.

"I didn't expect that this magic weapon could allow this person to come to the human world directly." Liu Danchen said enviously.

"Do you know him?" The person he was talking about should be the old grandfather.

"Ah, you don't know him?" Liu Danchen was shocked by my words.

I shook my head and said, "I met him once when I was a child, but I didn't know who he was."

"That's the Night Walker."

The Night-Wandering God is a righteous god who patrols at night and is in charge of good and evil. His counterpart is the Day-Wandering God.

I nodded, not quite understanding. To be honest, I don't know much about these gods.

"We, including my master, can only summon the divine nature to descend. I didn't expect you to be able to directly summon the true body. Little sister, can you..."

His subsequent words came out as whimpers.

"What's wrong with me? Go on and talk." I looked at him puzzled.

"Woo, woo, woo, woo." He continued to hum.

Then he slapped himself in frustration and wrote on the ground with his hand: I called that adult by his name, and now I have been silenced.

When I saw him finish writing, I suddenly remembered that when I asked Master Zhang who this old man was, he never answered me. It turns out there is this relationship.

Liu Danchen's appearance was so funny that I couldn't help laughing out loud.

He could only protest loudly now, but that made me laugh even louder.

I asked him, "When will this be over?"

He wrote on the ground: Three days.

"Hahaha, I'm dying of laughter." My laughter echoed in the night, far and wide.

And in the distant woods, there was a rustling sound.
