Chapter 103: The Wedding Dress Possesses Its Body
After seeing that his younger sister was feeling a little better, Cui Yi immediately rented a carriage and took her back to his home.
He and his wife tidied up the house where their parents used to live and then let his younger sister move in.
Although Cui Yi's wife had only met Cui Tao a few times, she did not object to her moving into her home. Instead, she treated her like her own younger sister.
After recovering from her illness, Cui Tao took on a lot of embroidery work to supplement her family's income.
After watching Cui Yi leave, Jing Wu began the next divination.
A man dressed in a long gown, with a handsome face, sat down in front of her. Just as he was about to speak, he heard cries coming from not far away.
"Master, help! Master, please save my daughter!" A woman stumbled towards them, crying and shouting, "Master, please save my daughter, she's trying to kill herself!"
As soon as she reached the stall, she grabbed the girl's leg.
Jingwu was taken aback for a moment, then helped the person up: "Get up first."
She frowned as she looked at the eerie aura emanating from the person in front of her.
"Master, I beg you to go and see my daughter right away. She's been trying to hang herself and cut her wrists at home. She's also crying and laughing at the same time. It's terrifying!"
Jing Wu frowned and did some calculations. Then, the temperature in his eyes dropped, and he turned to the person behind him and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go take care of something first."
The man had only come to have his marriage fortune told, and upon seeing the situation, he immediately waved his hand and said, "Master, you go quickly, I'm not in a hurry."
Upon hearing this, the woman thanked him repeatedly.
Jingwu nodded and immediately followed the woman.
The woman was an embroiderer in the embroidery workshop. Everyone called her Aunt Liu. She had two sons and two daughters. Her sons and eldest daughter had already gotten married and moved out to live elsewhere, leaving only her youngest daughter with her.
Not long ago, Aunt Liu found a suitable marriage for her youngest daughter, Liu Xiuxiu. The date had just been set, and Aunt Liu decided to make a wedding dress for her daughter herself.
As luck would have it, she saw an exquisitely designed wedding dress at the embroidery shop, so she took it home to show her daughter and ask her if she liked it.
Liu Xiuxiu was delighted when she saw it and asked her mother to make her an identical one.
Seeing that she said that, Aunt Liu agreed and planned to start work in the next few days.
Unexpectedly, when I got home today and opened the door, I saw Xiuxiu holding a rope and swinging it to the roof beam, intending to hang herself.
When Aunt Liu saw it, she was so frightened that she was trembling all over. She screamed and picked her daughter up from the stool.
She wanted to ask her daughter what was wrong, but her daughter just kept crying and laughing at the same time, which was quite frightening.
Aunt Liu was too scared to be alone, so she called her two sons back to stay with Xiuxiu.
Unexpectedly, just now, Xiuxiu smashed a bowl and was about to cut her wrists when her two sons stopped her.
Aunt Liu was so frightened she almost fainted. Then she remembered that there was a very powerful master on South Street. She heard that he was setting up a stall today, so she immediately came to ask him for help.
After listening to what Aunt Liu had to say, Jingwu had some guesses in his mind.
As soon as she arrived at Aunt Liu's house, she sensed an eerie atmosphere.
The further you go in, the denser the yin energy becomes.
Jingwu walked into Xiuxiu's room and saw that Xiuxiu's eyes were numb as she absentmindedly combed her hair, a strange smile on her lips.
She immediately realized that her mind was being controlled by yin energy.
Jingwu frowned and fixed his gaze on the mahogany box.
"Open the box."
Aunt Liu was stunned for a moment, then immediately went over and opened the box.
The next second, she saw that the wedding dress she had taken back from the embroidery shop was lying neatly inside.
"Good heavens! How did this wedding dress end up here? Didn't I already take it back to the embroidery workshop?"
Jingwu stepped forward and saw that the exquisitely crafted wedding dress was possessed by a female ghost filled with intense resentment.
The female ghost's face was pale, and her eyes stared straight at the girl.
Jingwu's expression turned cold, and he immediately asked, "Where did this wedding dress come from?"
"Yes, it's from the embroidery shop." Aunt Liu couldn't see the female ghost, but seeing the master's face turn cold, she stammered.
“That day, someone came to sell these clothes, and our shopkeeper thought they were nice and well-made, so she bought them for ten taels of silver. At that time, I was thinking of making a wedding dress for Xiuxiu, and I was having trouble coming up with any ideas. Then I saw this dress, so I told the shopkeeper and took it home. But I clearly, clearly took this wedding dress back to the embroidery shop, so how come it's still in my house!”
The shock of her daughter's suicide, coupled with the unexpected appearance of her wedding dress, had pushed Aunt Liu to the brink of collapse.
“This wedding dress was dug out of a grave, and a vengeful spirit is still attached to it. This vengeful spirit died tragically in life, and can only possess this wedding dress after death, unable to be reincarnated.” Jingwu said truthfully, “At this moment, the vengeful spirit is controlling your daughter to commit suicide, so that it can be her substitute.”
"What?" Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu nearly fainted. "Master, how could this happen? What should we do? My daughter is only sixteen years old. She can't just die like this!"
She stamped her feet in frustration, tears streaming down her face.
Jingwu reached out to help her up and patted her shoulder: "Don't worry, there's a way."
"What method?" Upon hearing this, Aunt Liu immediately grasped her hand: "Master, as long as it can save my Xiuxiu, I will give you whatever reward you ask for."
Jingwu didn't say anything more, but made hand seals and chanted complicated incantations.
A flash of golden light appeared before their eyes, slicing through the air as if severing some connection between the wedding dress and Xiuxiu.
The next second, Xiuxiu's eyes regained their clarity. She snapped back to reality in fright and grabbed Aunt Liu's waist.
"Mother, Mother, it's so scary! There are so many bandits! They stole my bridal sedan chair, carried me to the bandit mountain, and..."
Liu Xiuxiu choked up, unable to speak for a moment, tears streaming down her face.
She recalled the scene just now. After being forced by countless bandits, she jumped off the bandit mountain in despair. The cuts on her skin from the branches and the pain from the fall made her afraid to think about it again.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, your mother is here." Aunt Liu was heartbroken and patted her back, gently comforting her: "Our bridal sedan chair won't leave the city, so we won't encounter any bandits. Don't be afraid."
"No, no." Xiuxiu's face was covered in tears and snot, and she gradually broke down: "It's just that the bandits stole my bridal sedan chair, and they beat me, it's just..."
Upon hearing this, Jingwu immediately understood that what Xiuxiu had just experienced was what the owner of the wedding dress had experienced before.
Her eyes flickered, and she quickly made hand seals and chanted incantations to peel the vengeful spirit off her wedding dress and put it into her Qiankun bag.
Then, turning to look at the woman who was still crying and breaking down, repeating the same things over and over again, he sighed softly.
He looks like he was really scared.
She thought for a moment, patted her shoulder, and cast a spell into her body.
"Just take a nap, and you'll forget about it when you wake up."
