Chapter 33: The Truth About the Pendant Beads, Unbreakable Gratitude, A Millennium-Spanning Bond (2/2)



"So the children started crying, especially the little girls. They cried so hard and felt sorry for the ghost child. They begged the old Taoist priest for help, not wanting the ghost child to be alone."

"The old Taoist priest wanted to take the ghost child as his ghost disciple and keep him by his side so that the ghost child would not be lonely."

"But the ghost child refused. It had developed a bond with the children and didn't want to leave. It even made a pinky promise with one of the little girls. They were childhood sweethearts. I guess they were a little version of Ning Caichen and Nie Xiaoqian."

"The ghost child asked the old Taoist priest if he could find a way to allow it to live with humans."

"The old Taoist priest said there was nothing he could do, because ghosts are ultimately creatures of the underworld. Even if there were a way to protect children from the yin energy, they would still be ghosts. If they didn't reincarnate, they would become wandering ghosts."

"I know that."

Guan Xinghe took over the conversation at this time.

"Ghosts are creatures of the underworld. Not only are they not allowed to stay in the mortal realm for too long, but even the underworld won't allow it. Once the local land god or mountain god finds out, they will report it to the underworld out of duty."

"By then, either the underworld will contact the administrators of the living world, or they will directly send the Black Impermanence to take the ghost child away."

Qin Ye didn't look up.

He said.

"You're right. It's only a matter of time before the ghost child is discovered. The villagers live by the mountain, so the mountain gods will find out sooner or later. Also, with ghosts in the village, the yin energy will be heavy."

"Even if the mountain god doesn't find out, any Taoist priest or someone with some skills passing by will be able to find out."

"The old Taoist priest said at the time that he couldn't help."

"But instead of just standing by and watching, he came up with a bad idea for the ghost kid."

"He said he couldn't help, but there was someone who could. When the old Taoist priest described this person, the villagers realized that the person he described was the young Taoist priest they were reluctant to hire."

As said here.

Guan Xinghe could no longer sit still.

The story told by the person in front of him was not similar to the story of his ancestor obtaining the pendant beads, but it was definitely exactly the same.

He couldn't help but interrupt.

"Later... the old Taoist priest said that the villagers were blind and that the young Taoist priest they were unwilling to hire was very powerful, even more powerful than him."

"He also said that in the entire world, only that young Taoist priest could help the ghost child. Even if the ghost child was later discovered by the underworld, the young Taoist priest would have a way to deal with it."

"Because the young Taoist priest is powerful and has a grudge against the underworld."

The words stopped at this moment.

Stargazer said, stunned.

...has a deep connection with the underworld.

...People in the mortal world know the forbidden magic of the underworld, the reincarnation seal.

...young Taoist priest.

Guan Xinghe's pupils shrank and he guessed the truth.

And just at this moment.

Qin Ye put down his phone, which showed the words 'game, over' on the screen. He looked up and asked with a smile.

"What's next?"

Faced with the reverse question and answer, Guan Xinghe did not remain silent. At this moment, his breathing became rapid, and he looked at Qin Ye and said.

"Later, the ghost child listened to the old Taoist priest's words and ran to find the young Taoist priest. He pestered the young Taoist priest and begged him for help."

"Although it was making a fuss, the old Taoist priest said that young Taoist priests are kind-hearted and won't attack kind ghosts. They might even help them. So, in the end, they couldn't stand up to the ghost child's fussing, or the begging and groaning three times and nine times."

"The young Taoist priest chose to help the ghost child, so he made a toy. At least to the young Taoist priest, it was a toy."

"In fact, it is a treasure, a magical weapon that can hide any spirit from ordinary people."

When the story ends.

Looking at Qin Ye's smile without any objection.

Guan Xinghe could no longer sit still, his hands involuntarily grabbed the pendant beads and rubbed them to stand up.

"You, you, you are the benefactor our ancestors mentioned, the young Taoist priest!!"
