Chapter 103 This is a ghost (12) It’s that wizard. …

It's that mage.

The mage walked from the entrance of the alley and saw Liu Binghai from a distance. He only needed to glance at him, and Liu Binghai knew that he saw him.

The master walked slowly in front of her, with a slight smile on his face and a bit of compassion.

"Hello." Liu Binghai said to him.

"Finally I meet you again." said the wizard.

Liu Binghai was a little confused. Why had he been looking for him?

The wizard's smile was mysterious and dignified. "Can I have a moment?"

…

The drifting ice sea was floating on the corner of the alley next to Li's Restaurant. He could talk to the mage while keeping an eye on what was happening in the restaurant.

"Are you looking for me?" Liu Binghai asked doubtfully.

The master smiled kindly and gently, but there was also a hint of solemnity in his smile. "You are, Guizhi."

Liu Binghai's heart skipped a beat.

She was afraid of being put into the incense burner by this man.

"What?" she asked cautiously.

The wizard looked at her and nodded, thinking, what an extraordinary woman. His eyes never left her, wondering what to do with such a tragic yet extraordinary woman.

Zhang Guizhi, she told him his name last time.

Although he didn't have her birth date, he remembered what she looked like. He still went to the hall where he practiced and asked several immortals to investigate her affairs.

A few errand boys quickly found out about her past.

He looked at her, feeling somewhat shocked.

Judging from her experience, she must be a complete resentful ghost, wandering the streets looking for opportunities to take revenge. I'm afraid that man and woman will not have a good life under her.

She didn't harbor much resentment, and was still asking him about spiritual practice.

This woman has such a big heart...

Even he had to practice for most of his life before he could let go of worldly ties and achieve a pure life.

She was lucky. Death was the end of everything. She became a practicing ghost.

He really had to admire it.

"It's nothing. I'm generally aware of your past experiences." The mage sighed and said, "It would be best if you could let go of all the love and hate in this world... If you can't figure it out, I can help you resolve the knot in your heart."

It turns out that he went to check on her...

"There's nothing to worry about." Liu Binghai said, "Dead is dead. What happened in the past has nothing to do with me. As long as they can regularly pay tribute to me and make my future life easier, that's enough."

The mage nodded, his brows brightening, "Are you really not angry?"

"There's nothing to hate. I'm just lazy." Liu Binghai looked towards Li's Restaurant again, afraid of missing the couple.

"Don't worry, I won't be reckless." Liu Binghai was worried about being put into the incense burner, so he expressed his opinion again.

The wizard looked at her with an indescribable expression, as if she was covering up her ulterior motives and would reveal her true colors and start a killing spree as soon as he left. However, she really didn't hold any resentment.

But the spiritual energy is very strong.

The heavy spiritual energy comes from cultivation, which can help her develop some skills. However, if she has no desire for revenge, why would she cultivate such a heavy spiritual energy?

Just for the purpose of practicing and helping others?

She is a ghost, what can she do if she doesn't enter the incense burner?

The mystery in the mage's heart remained unsolved, and he heard Liu Binghai ask, "Mage, do you know about the vines that eat people?"

The mage's absent-minded gaze shifted from the willow branches back to the drifting ice sea. "You mean vines? People-eating?"

Liu Binghai lowered his eyelids and then raised them again. "When will the vines become so tight that they can eat up a person?"

It was a curious question she asked, what on earth was she doing...

"Of course, it's someone who's in danger." The mage looked at Liu Binghai seriously and said, "The person you've been following, is he being harassed?"

Zuihua, who was standing by, was almost scared to death. He looked nervous when he saw the man.

My ancestors, they are doing good things! They must not be punished.

They saved that man's life!

But how did he know that Guizhi was with someone?

Liu Binghai didn't rush to answer, but instead asked, "How do you know I'm with someone?"

The wizard laughed angrily. He came over from a distance and saw that they were following a man and a woman, and all the ghost energy was attached to the two of them.

If not following, what else could it be?

He said nothing, but stared meaningfully at the drifting ice sea for a long time. His spiritual energy remained, his resentment was gone, and he was meddling in other people's affairs. He was truly determined to find a future for himself...

"Do good things in your heart, and don't be greedy for idle things." The master said these two sentences, then turned around and didn't want to pay any more attention to this woman.

I always felt that she was unusual. She was neither disobedient nor submissive, and I was afraid that it would disturb my peace.

Halfway through turning around, he slowly turned back and asked, "You really don't want to follow me?"

To inherit his legacy? To be his subordinate and errand boy?

"No, if that woman gets pregnant, I'll recite scriptures every day to wish them and their child safety. That can be considered a form of spiritual practice, right?"

The mage was stunned again...

What a generous woman...

It was so generous that even he was a little confused.

"Are you really not going to consider it anymore?" He felt it would be safer to keep her within his own system. If she developed evil thoughts one day, it would be bad for her.

Liu Binghai said seriously, "Mage."

"Um."

Liu Binghai: "Are you attracted to me?"

"Um?"

The mage was stunned.

Liu Binghai said seriously, "We cultivators cannot have any emotions or desires. If you don't fancy me, just leave me alone."

The mage's face felt slightly hot for a moment. He was a practicing mage, how could he have such an idea!

This woman...

"Respect yourself." The mage turned and walked away, stopping halfway, turning back and saying a few more words to her, "The vines are ruthless, but weeds can control them."

Then it slowly disappeared into the night.

After a while, the ice sea blinked.

"Let's go." He said to Zuihua.

…

In Li's Restaurant, Azha and Xiao Zhen had already eaten most of the meal.

The man didn't have much appetite and only ordered a few simple side dishes.

When Liu Binghai arrived, their conversation had basically ended, and Xiao Zhen's expression as he looked at him became more and more affectionate.

Xiao Zhen asked, "Do you want to go to that well again?"

Aza's eyes were deep, "What else?"

Xiao Zhen said, "Okay, I also think that the matter should be thoroughly investigated, but that cane cannot be used anymore. Let Zhang Youcha stay with us. In case of any emergency, he can still provide some strength."

Aza said nothing, his face was gloomy, and he thought of a few words in his mind:

The vines entangle the evil spirits, the villains are afraid of the farts, looking for the owner of the stone, looking at the city of the river.

First, the evil spirit is wrapped with a vine.

He was sure that the "god" before was not here to harm him, but he could find someone to check if there was anything dirty on him. Zhang Youcha might not be reliable, so he had to find another person.

Villains are afraid of the weak... no explanation needed.

Find the owner of the stone. Once you catch the big stone, you must question its owner.

As Aza was thinking this, a sentence came into his mind.

Liu Binghai moved his lips, and a sentence floated into Azha's mind: Go to the temple and ask a master.

The masters there are more professional.

With this thought in mind, Azha calmed down, took a few bites of food, and said to Xiao Zhen, "You go back first, I'll go out for a walk by myself later.

"You want to go by yourself?"

Aza said, "Business matters can't be delayed any longer. Go talk to your employer. It's inconvenient to bring you along."

Xiao Zhen paused and hummed, "Then can you do it?"

Ha, Aza smiled, his bright eyes like a bottomless abyss, "No matter if it's a good ghost or an evil ghost, once it attaches itself to me, it won't come down. I'm not the kind of person who can come and go freely and disappear at will."

After the words fell, Xiao Zhen was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously at the man.

After dinner, it was already late at night. The man asked Xiao Zhen to go home first, and he went into the hall. The hall had a gloomy feeling, but also a sense of outstanding people and a peaceful environment. He felt refreshed and at ease listening to the scriptures recited.

He waited for a while and saw a wizard in a long robe holding a string of jade beads in his hand.

The wizard looked at him with a solemn look.

And slowly approached him.

The mage recognized him at a glance. It was the man followed by Zhang Guizhi. His dark forehead seemed to be billowing with thick smoke, and his deep eyes seemed to be entangled with injustice and fatigue. His spirit was a little relaxed, but his momentum was not diminished. When he just walked in here, his two big eyes under his thick eyebrows turned around the room with confidence, and he was not scared away by the atmosphere in the hall at all.

He must be looking for something, but he couldn't be here looking for ghosts.

The wizard walked slowly towards him, and when he was in front of him, the man's eyes finally fixed on him.

He looked at the wizard in front of him, and his heart actually beat twice.

It feels like something is about to be lifted up.

The mage looked at him for a long time, and finally said, "This gentleman."

The man still looked at him.

The mage asked, "Sir, what brings you here?"

Of course, he could tell at a glance that he was "up to something".

But he couldn't say it clearly.

After calming down, Aza nodded.

The sound of scriptures could be heard incessantly in the hall, and the atmosphere was divided, strange, down-to-earth, reassuring, and tense.

"Are you a mage?" the man asked.

The wizard nodded. "It seems you are here to see me?"

The man didn't want to waste time talking and asked, "Master, can we find a quiet place to talk?"

The master took him to his inner room, where he usually meditated and rested.

When Aza entered the house, he smelled the soothing aroma and felt much calmer.

He was a straightforward man and didn't want to waste time talking, so he told everything in detail, even the fact that he had inexplicably run around in a circle on the street. He also said frankly that if he was possessed by something, it was like being possessed by a god, and the process was surprisingly light and exciting.

I just don't know who that god is, and whether he needs to have a throne set up for him at home and be worshipped.

The mage listened and thought, maybe it's a goddess...

He listened to the man's words carefully and said, "You have been feeling well these past few days, right?"

"No," the man said bluntly, "except for muscle weakness, there's nothing else wrong."

Zhang Guizhi, ah Zhang Guizhi...

The wizard nodded, "So what do you want to ask now?"

Aza had just finished describing his experience, and his mind was still a little confused. After gathering his thoughts, he said, "First, I want to ask why the vines are entangled with me, and is there anything that can stop the vines?"

He thought for a moment and continued, "That immortal whispered in my ear a message: 'If a vine binds an evil spirit, the villain will be afraid of it.' I don't know what it means. Does it mean that I should continue to use the vine to deal with the evil spirit? Or does it mean that I'm being bound by the vine because I'm possessed by an evil spirit? I don't quite understand... So, I'd like you to check if there's anything unclean attached to me. I'd appreciate your help."

The mage nodded and understood what Zhang Guizhi had been doing recently.

Become a god.

Zhang Guizhi, ah Zhang Guizhi… he repeated it silently again.

Then, he said to the man earnestly, "Sir, in my opinion, you are indeed free of any dirt and possessed by any evil spirits at this moment."

"Oh, I see." The man breathed a sigh of relief. "So, by using the vine to bind the evil spirit, you mean I can continue to use the vine to deal with the evil spirit?"

The wizard thought for a moment and said, "That may not be the case. Perhaps the evil spirit is not on my body, and it is hard to say whether it is somewhere else."

The man was stunned.

Yes! With all these strange things happening recently, there must be some evil spirit involved. If it's not an evil spirit, then it must be a villain who hired a big stone spirit to deal with him.

"So, the vine can be used to deal with evil spirits, but it just happened to get tangled up around me..." Azha thought of the vine at home and was still frightened. "So, do I need to cut that vine? I'm afraid of offending it, so I haven't touched it yet."

The mage nodded. "Don't move it yet, and don't use it. Besides, this matter may continue for a long time..."

The man was stunned. "How long will it last?"

The wizard smiled and said, "That depends on when your fate with the stone ends."

Fate, love and hate, will all come to an end only when the truth is revealed.

The wizard thought that the story behind this stone had not yet unfolded and would not end so easily.

The man was stunned for a moment, then nodded calmly. "You're right, but what should I do with the stone now? I just want to understand why it's teasing me. Maybe I can bribe it to find out what it likes. Let it tell me clearly!"

The mage laughed out loud twice after hearing this.

He wanted to bribe a stone that wanted to play a prank on him. He really underestimated the power of the spiritual world. The power of the spiritual world is more real, simple and stubborn than that of the human world. If it wants to play a prank on you, it will do it at all costs and will not easily give up a bribe.

It’s better to think about how to protect yourself and end your relationship with it.

The wizard said, "The vine is supposed to protect its owner. If it doesn't protect you, you can just find something else."

The man's eyes lit up, "Change what?"

The wizard thought for a moment and said, "It has to be a fine, pure crystal. If you have money, ask for a flawless, white or purple one. Wear it with you. The stone, when close to the crystal, may become gentler to you."

this……

What power can a piece of crystal have?

"White is tranquil, purple is arrogant. The hostility will be purified by approaching it. Once you have clarified the grudge between you and the stone, you can then think of a way to resolve it."

The man sighed.

It seemed like it would take quite some time. He was impatient and couldn't stand all these twists and turns. After thinking it over again, he said, "Could you please come forward and help me solve this?"

Receive it in your robe and don’t call it out again, cholera man!

The wizard thought for a moment, shook his head and smiled, "I can't help you right now."

"Why?" The man was puzzled. He was almost at a loss and seeing stars.

"It's not time yet." The wizard said, "Love and hate, hate and love, the best thing is to go through it all on your own and find the truth."

Blindly and recklessly subduing him may not be a good thing for this man.

Besides, don’t you already have a good god in you?

If you get into trouble, that god will take you and continue to run away.

The man seemed to be thinking about something, as if he understood something.

Now that we are here, we are ready to say goodbye to the Master.

Before leaving, he saw a portrait of a woman placed next to a stick of incense with the words "Zhang Guizhi" written on it.

Maybe he was performing a ritual to help someone's soul. He didn't want to ask too much, so he just left his address, thinking that if the master was willing to help him one day, he would go find him. Then he said goodbye to the master and left.

After he left, the master looked at the incense stick and said to the portrait, "You, you have become a god."

He is just like Sun Wukong when he was an official. As soon as he had some ability, he wanted to go to heaven.

This is the portrait he drew after his first meeting with her, and he asked the immortal to find out her story.

After that, he would occasionally check on her here, to find out where she was and what she was doing at the moment. The chance encounter at the street corner just now was not entirely a chance encounter. Although she was full of spiritual energy and had little resentment, she had such a miserable experience. He was still a little worried that she would become a ghost, and he was somewhat concerned about her.

I thought it would be better to persuade her to practice with me.

Unexpectedly, he became a god himself.

Zhang Guizhi, ah Zhang Guizhi... the master muttered again, you are really good...
