Chapter 159 Half-awake, Half-asleep

"Everyone tells you not to be greedy for money or lust. That old Taoist priest also told you that all women are water ghosts in disguise, and that the money you brought with you was all her doing."

The crucial point is that you took it home without anyone noticing. She couldn't possibly reincarnate, but you took her money, so of course you had to extend her life…”

Hou Peipei's expression changed drastically, and she immediately took the gold bracelet off her arm. "Huang Dakuan, quickly return all the money to her. You still say that you got that money by accident. You're going to kill our whole family!"

"Master! Master!" Huang Da-kuan exclaimed anxiously!

"All the mistakes are mine. It has nothing to do with my child, and even less to do with my wife. Is there any way to resolve this? I'll do it right now."

Gu Yunxi nodded!

"How much gold did you pick up from the ground? Find it all now, whether you return it in cash or make up for it with its equivalent value, and then throw it into the river!"

Go back and immediately go to the incense and candle shop to buy two white lanterns to hang at the door. I will come to help you then.

Gu Yunxi said something to the live stream audience and then went out. After all, it would take him most of the day to prepare all this money, and he wouldn't be able to lure the water ghost out until night.

Several months have passed, and Huang Dakuan has already spent a portion of it. His family has suddenly become rich, and everyone is envious!

Why is he asking me to borrow money again? This was prompted by Huang Dakuan's repeated assurances and sincere request.

He spent almost an entire afternoon collecting the money. To show his sincerity, he braced himself and went to the riverbank alone, throwing all the money into the river.

Unexpectedly, the money disappeared as soon as it entered the river. There was definitely something wrong. Being greedy for small gains leads to big losses.

He quickly rode his bike there and bought a pair of white lanterns from the incense and candle shop in town, which he then hung on his front door.

The neighbors thought something had happened to their family, but when they asked, they found out that it was all for the good of his wife.

Remembering that Huang Dakuan had started traveling all over the country doing superstitions not long ago, the neighbors didn't think much of it.

Time flew by, and evening arrived. The two of them sat inside the house without eating.

He stared intently at the tightly closed door.

They waited until they felt sleepy, but Master Gu still hadn't arrived. Perhaps he was on his way. So they lay down on the bed and fell asleep fully clothed.

"Knock knock knock..."

Huang Dakuan jolted awake, fully waking up. His wife was probably still sleepy and hadn't woken up yet.

There were clothes under the bed, but why did the thumping sound seem to be coming from under me?

He mustered his courage, got up, took out a powerful flashlight, and opened the drawer under the bed.

A little baby wearing a red bib, with her back to me, kept hitting the bottom of the bed with gold. Sensing light behind her, she turned around.

"Huang Dakuan, why? I gave you so much money, yet you want to cut off my livelihood. Who did you listen to? Tonight, I will not let you two, you dog couple, off the hook."

The moment she spoke, the baby girl reached out her little hand and grabbed Huang Dakuan by the neck.

Huang Dakuan didn't think much of it and was about to grab the baby girl's arm when he discovered that she was stronger than a normal adult.

He couldn't turn around at all, and with that sudden movement, the baby girl was thrown out!

He struggled and twisted his body, while the child gripped his neck tightly. Just as he felt he was about to suffocate, he heard his wife's voice.

He kicked his foot hard and woke up completely.

Seeing his wife sitting inside, he realized he had just been dreaming. But when he touched his neck, it hurt terribly.

I took a look with my phone camera and found two small pinch marks.

His expression changed drastically; he could no longer tell whether he was dreaming or in real life!

Seemingly realizing something, he quickly jumped out of bed, opened the drawer, and found no gold inside, just a pile of paper money!

"Hehe! Surprised? Unexpected?"

Upon hearing that voice, Huang Dakuan looked up, his terrified face suddenly breaking into a smile.

The girl sensed something was wrong and tried to turn around, but was grabbed by a hand.

"Such a small thing, and it already knows how to cause trouble. Why don't you go find your parents? Why did you have to pick on them? It's as if your death was caused by your father."

Who exactly is this woman? She exudes such a powerful aura, and she's holding a stick of sandalwood in her hand.

The girl started to look wrinkled and matted, as if she had been soaking in water for a long time.

"Pretty sister, can you send me to be reincarnated?" The girl looked at her curiously with her round eyes.

“If I hadn’t come, you would have accumulated sins that would have been enough to send you to the 18th level of hell, and you still think about being reincarnated.”

The little girl lowered her head, her shoulders shaking uncontrollably, and then she began to wail loudly.

The tears flowed like a waterfall, quickly soaking a large area on the ground.

"Stop crying, do you want to flood this house?"

“I have come here today to help you pass on to the afterlife. Fortunately, you have not committed any serious evil deeds in the water all these years. I don’t know where you heard some crooked doctrines and were reincarnated into someone else’s womb. If Hou Cuicui had really given birth to you, the sins on your body would have been enormous.”

Gu Yunxi stared at Huang Dakuan, "Don't be greedy for money, then you can live a peaceful life. Find an incense burner and put this agarwood in it. Whenever your wife's stomach starts to hurt, call the hospital. That's when she should be giving birth."

He glanced at the little gadget in his hand, then said, "I have to go. I need to see her off."

He took the little girl out and then disappeared without a trace.

Huang Dakuan carefully found an incense burner, inserted the agarwood incense sticks, and placed it on the table next to him.

Unexpectedly, the agarwood burned for seven days and seven nights. On the morning of the eighth day, his wife began to experience abdominal pain.

The delivery at the hospital went exceptionally smoothly, resulting in a beautiful daughter. From then on, Huang Dakuan never took advantage of anyone.

The family lived happily ever after.

Over there, Gu Yan, after hearing Gu Yunxi's words, went to Fuyun Temple with Gu Feng!

Unexpectedly, he was turned away for three days in a row. For a moment, he wondered if Guo Fuyun was doing this on purpose.

"Yan'er, perhaps our sincerity is insufficient, and the master does not wish to see us. Let's stay here and wait a little longer!"

Just after he finished speaking, Gu Feng's phone rang. After hanging up, he looked at Gu Yan apologetically.

"Yan'er, your mother said she's not feeling well and asked me to come back quickly. Wait here for me, and I'll pick you up when I'm done."

Despite her reluctance, Gu Yan nodded without explanation, "Alright then!"

Fuyun Temple used to be open all the time, but for some reason, it has been closed for the past few days, as if it were deliberately making things difficult for itself.

Gu Yan found a cooler spot and sat down.

At this moment, Gu Yunxi and her third brother were on the street. After having lunch, they were going for a walk.

The sharp-eyed Gu Yunxi noticed a black sedan driving by not far away.

"Third Brother, is that Daddy's car?"
