Someone said, "In that case, what's the use of him seeking his daughters' forgiveness now?"

Bai Xi: "It's useful."

"First, those who have incurred karmic debts and escaped punishment in the human world must endure punishment in the underworld until their karmic debts dissipate on their own before they can be reincarnated. Second, if they want to end their punishment quickly, all they need to do is have those people forgive them. Cause and effect, cause and effect, the result will be achieved, and without karmic debts, they will be sent to be reincarnated by the underworld officials."

Everyone was surprised.

Is there really such a saying?

They really learned something new tonight.

When Old Zhang heard that someone in the human world actually knew about the ways of the underworld, he trembled with fear.

His return to the mortal realm today was entirely due to exploiting a loophole in the underworld. The yin energy gathered here in the mortal realm, creating a spatial link, which allowed him to possess his relatives.

Bai Xi looked at the other possessing ghost and said, "This one died young, killed by his lover. It can be considered karma."

"But... he raped a sixteen-year-old girl when he was young."

Aunt Huang and Huang Meng were shocked. "There's... such a thing?"

As his relatives, they had no idea that their respected father-in-law (grandfather) was such a heartless and inhuman person.

Bai Xi: "The family of that teenage girl was afraid of damaging her reputation and ruining her life, so they dared not tell anyone. Therefore, until her death, no one knew about this."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at the ghost possessing the old woman with disdain.

His face flushed instantly when someone exposed what he had done back then.

He secretly rejoiced that no one noticed what he had done during his lifetime.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he died, the underworld officials seized him and subjected him to torture. The pain was so intense that he felt like he was living a life worse than death every day.

He lay on the ground trembling, the ferocity in his eyes gone, replaced only by fear.

The two people who were most afraid and terrified were Zhou Xiang and Zhong Shiqi. They never imagined that the underworld really existed.

After hearing what the girl said, Zhou Xiang was filled with fear.

The same goes for Zhong Shiqi; these things are simply too bizarre.

He looked at Bai Xi and asked, "Who are you? How do you know so much? Are you making this up?"

Some people in the crowd also doubted the authenticity of the story.

Suddenly someone said, "She just said she was a Taoist priest."

Everyone looked over upon seeing this.

Bai Xi walked over, took out two talismans, chanted a spell, and then stuck the two talismans on the old woman and the child.

A few seconds later, they both passed out.

"Mother-in-law!"

"son!"

Bai Xi said, "Don't worry, your loved ones will wake up soon. I've already sent those two ghosts back to the underworld."

"Also, their bodies have been corrupted by yin energy. Let them bask in the sun more during the day tomorrow to replenish their yang energy. The same goes for you." She looked at everyone.

The yin energy gathers here, and everyone has been affected by it to some extent.

"Thank you, Master," said both Aunt Huang and the child's mother at the same time.

The others also expressed their gratitude.

At this moment, the coffin in the center of the hall began to shake.

All the guests were horrified and retreated in disarray.

The coffin continued to shake, and everyone heard the sound of nails being pulled out.

Zhong Shiqi's face turned deathly pale, and he immediately roared, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and secure the nails! We absolutely cannot let her out again!"

Upon hearing this, the men who carried the coffin immediately stumbled over, grabbed hammers, and hammered the loose nails back in.

However, the coffin lid kept shaking.

Everyone heard a strange sound.

If you listen carefully, you can hear the sound of fingernails scratching the coffin, accompanied by weeping.

A guest exclaimed, wide-eyed, "She's not dead yet!"

Another panicked, "No, she's dead! That's not a person, that's a ghost!"

"Call the police! It's a zombie again!"

The guests tried to escape, but then they discovered that all the doors in the hall were closed.

Immediately afterwards, all the lights on the roof suddenly went out.

Panic gripped the crowd.

"Where is that master?! Help! Help me!"

They searched everywhere for Bai Xi, only to find that the little girl had disappeared.

Using the faint moonlight shining in from outside, everyone looked toward the center of the hall and discovered that the coffin lid had been opened at some point.

A blurry figure, or rather a ghost, stood beside the coffin.

Just then, the sound of opera reached their ears; the sound was terrifying and eerie, yet it entered their ears with unparalleled clarity.

Qiu Ran sang in a soft, melodious voice.

"I, Qiu Ran, met Zhong Shiqi when I was twenty years old, and he was still a graduate student."

I married him when I was 21, and our relationship was very close.

“At twenty-two, I became pregnant with his child. To pray for the unborn child, we sponsored a female student together.”

“I gave birth to my child when I was 23, and he started taking over my father’s business.”

“My father passed away when he was 39, and he took over my father’s company.”

She continued singing, but everyone's curiosity was piqued.

The opera music suddenly turned mournful, and Qiu Ran spoke.

"...At forty, he cheated on his wife."

"He and the female college student we had been supporting for eight years were lying on my wedding bed."

"He knelt down and begged me for forgiveness. When I refused, he decided to go all the way and dismember me with that woman."

"Just when they were about to completely destroy the evidence, my son saw it."
