Madam Zhang Gui hurriedly released her two children and knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly.
"Fairy, please save my husband. We'll agree to any conditions, but please don't let our two children lose their father."
The two children were so scared that they hugged each other and cried loudly.
Qi Huang remained cold and unmoved.
He glanced at the group and said,
"I practice mystical arts, and I have my own ancestral rules. I shouldn't let the dead harm the living, but some debts must be settled!"
Lady Zhang Gui understood the meaning behind it.
He immediately knelt down twice and kowtowed again.
"Please enlighten me, Fairy Maiden."
Qi Huang raised his hand,
A chain of talismans gripped Cai Yingying's neck once more.
She pulled the person away from Zhang Gui.
A yellow talisman appeared in his hand, which he placed on Cai Yingying's forehead.
With a scream of despair.
Cai Yingying's soul seemed to be imprisoned, her head drooping and motionless.
The blood around his body turned increasingly red.
Zhang Gui clutched her neck, utterly terrified.
He was trembling like a leaf, pointing at Cai Yingying angrily,
"You...you've become a demon, what more do you want from me, fairy, please take her away, take her away."
When you're truly facing life and death, experiencing the fear of near-death...
The selfishness in people's hearts will be magnified infinitely.
Qi Huang looked at him coldly.
“The marriage certificate was acknowledged by you and written by you. She has been trapped in this world for more than ten years and cannot be reincarnated because the marriage certificate has not been broken. I cannot take her back.”
Zhang Gui said urgently,
"The marriage certificate is in her hands, what am I supposed to do? I..."
He glanced at his wife and two children.
At this moment, however, he couldn't bring himself to say something like, "A life for a life."
The chilling, ghostly aura emanating from his neck sent shivers down his spine.
Zhang Gui's wife kowtowed repeatedly.
"Fairy Maiden, please think of a way."
Qi Huang paused for a moment before speaking.
"The marriage contract is already signed and cannot be severed. We must give her a substitute to put an end to her obsession."
She pointed at Zhang Gui.
"You, cut a piece of hair, drip your blood on it, write your birth date and time on a talisman with cinnabar, and burn it together with a piece of clothing you usually wear. Then I can get rid of this ghost."
Upon hearing that there was a solution, Madam Zhang Gui quickly got up and did as instructed.
The onlookers outside were all sighing with disbelief.
"You all see that, right? You can't act against your conscience. Even if more than ten years have passed, you still have to pay back what you owe."
"I heard that when someone becomes a stand-in, they also take away some of the living person's lifespan. Just wait and see, Zhang Gui probably won't live long."
"Sigh, he deserves it. There are gods watching over us, and Heaven is seeing everything."
Standing in the crowd, Mo Yunhan stared intently at the woman in the courtyard dressed in brightly colored clothes.
My heart was clenching tightly.
It didn't hurt, but there was a tingling sensation that was hard to suppress.
Lady Zhang Gui quickly prepared everything.
"Fairy, should we burn it?"
Qi Huang told her to place it in front of Cai Yingying.
The talisman fell from his hand, and a burst of fire erupted.
Zhang Gui, as if implicated, clutched her chest and gasped for breath in pain.
As the fire burned the pile of things away...
The bound Cai Yingying also turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared without a trace.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang Gui both breathed a sigh of relief.
Qi Huang then said calmly,
"The substitutes have appeased the evil spirits, but you still have to pay the debts you owe, otherwise, there will be no peace in the civil war and no peace in the lineage."
Zhang Gui looked at his wife, and the two nodded at the same time.
"Please give your instructions, Fairy Maiden."
Qi Huang said, "The Zhang family needs to set up an ever-burning lamp for Elder Cai and his daughter and offer it for ten years. Then all the grudges here will be resolved."
Zhang Gui had no objection to this, and turned to hold his wife's hand, saying...
“It is I who have wronged them. Now that Elder Cai has also died because of this, I want to arrange his burial and funeral. What do you think, my wife…”
Madam Zhang Gui nodded immediately.
"I will do as you say, sir. As long as our family of four can live in peace, I will repay the debts together with you."
Qi Huang said nothing more and turned to leave.
The people gathered outside the door all crowded around.
"Fairy, Yingying is also a child with a tragic fate. She became a vengeful ghost and harmed people out of necessity. Please help her and give her a good place so that she can be reincarnated in peace."
"Yes, Yingying is a bit stubborn, but she's a good person. I remember her as a hardworking and kind-hearted girl. Please ask the fairy to show her some guidance."
Everyone chimed in with their own well-intentioned words.
Qi Huang waited until they had all finished speaking before she spoke.
"She has fulfilled her wish and has no more attachments, so she will be reincarnated naturally."
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
He bowed deeply to her.
"With such great skills, the fairy would never commit murder and robbery. Old Cai may really have committed suicide."
"Given Mr. Cai's temperament, if he knew that his daughter was going to turn into a vengeful ghost and cause trouble at the Zhang family, he could really drive her to commit suicide by poisoning herself."
Just then, Ye Qi arrived in a hurry with several constables and headed towards Lane Six. Upon seeing this, everyone quickly ran back.
"The officials are here. Let's go and hear what they have to say."
Qi Huang thought for a moment and decided to go back as well to see if there were any hidden dangers in Old Cai's house.
As I walked forward, a figure appeared beside me.
"Does Alchemist Feng Jiu really believe that people can be reincarnated after death?"
Qi Huang didn't want to talk to him.
Mo Yunhan then said,
"Actually, you had a way to destroy Cai Yingying's soul long ago, but you insisted on tricking Zhang Gui into getting a substitute and making them light an everlasting lamp for ten years to pray for Cai's father and daughter, fulfilling Cai Yingying's wish and also ensuring that Cai's father, who had no descendants, would have someone to worship him. I didn't expect that you, who seem so cold, would be so kind-hearted. I wonder which school you belong to and who your master is?"
