The white-haired old lady didn't let Shen Qiqi worry for too long. Almost as soon as Shen Qiqi finished speaking, she immediately replied impatiently:
"I left something on that evil-hearted girl. With that, my little pet can follow the scent and find her. I guess you're so anxious to leave, little girl, because you want to find that evil-hearted girl as soon as possible and avenge your benefactor."
It’s just as I guessed!
Shen Qiqi's eyes instantly lit up——
She was just worrying about the vast sea of people and didn't know where to find Shen Ning'er, but the old woman ghost in front of her brought a caged ghost that could show the way. What is this called? This is called sleepiness meeting a hot pillow, and it came at the right time!
Shen Qiqi nodded happily and said, "Old man, I accept this deal."
Seeing her nod in agreement, the white-haired old woman ghost beamed with joy. She quickly stuffed the caged-eye ghost into Shen Qiqi's hands and instructed her, "Little girl, just follow the caged-eye ghost. Whichever direction it looks in, you go in that direction. It will definitely lead you to that evil-hearted little girl. I swear everything I say is true. If I tell even a single lie, my relatives in the world of the living will suffer!"
As the white-haired grandma ghost spoke, she raised her finger and swore solemnly. Shen Qiqi's mouth twitched when she saw it, and she thought that the relatives of the grandma ghost were pitiful enough, being dragged out and sworn at every turn.
Without saying much, Shen Qiqi immediately rolled up her sleeves and started working.
The tools and stoves were ready, and all they needed to do was get the ingredients. In order to save time, Shen Qiqi made thirty or forty paper figures in one go.
There is strength in numbers. After a busy period of ping-pong, a whole fragrant roast suckling pig, five roast chickens, three roast geese, two fat rabbits, and a large basket of fresh fruits with dew on the skin were placed in front of the white-haired old woman ghost.
The white-haired old lady ghost originally just wanted to have one more bite of sesame cake and her ghost life would be complete, but she never expected that Shen Qiqi would get her a table of Manchu and Han banquet.
Smelling the fragrance that she had not seen for a long time but was still deeply engraved in her memory, the white-haired ghost was so excited that she could not help herself. Sometimes she laughed so hard that her teeth were showing, and sometimes she covered her face and cried.
Shen Qiqi saw the white-haired grandma ghost crying and laughing crazily, and she didn't find it funny, but felt a little sad.
It is said that everything is empty after death, but this is not true for all people. After death, some people cannot let go of the people and things in the world of the living. A wandering soul floats between heaven and earth, reluctant to leave, and so ghosts appear in the world.
Looking at the white-haired grandma ghost wolfing down her food, Shen Qiqi guessed that the grandma ghost's obsession was probably to taste the delicacies of the human world again.
This obsession has finally been satisfied.
Shen Qiqi sighed silently in her heart, withdrew her gaze from the white-haired granny ghost's body which was gradually becoming transparent, and said to Xie Beiming and others: "Let's go."
The group said nothing and turned away silently.
The white-haired ghost was extremely satisfied with the meal. She never expected that her unintentional small action that day would bring her such a big benefit.
She ate heartily, feeling more satisfied than ever before. Her body became lighter and she felt like she was floating up to the sky like a breeze.
In fact, it was indeed so. The body of the white-haired granny ghost gradually became transparent, and finally the whole body became transparent and turned into a ray of golden light. It was about to disappear between heaven and earth. Suddenly, the white-haired granny ghost remembered that there was something very important that she had forgotten to tell Shen Qiqi, so she hurriedly opened her throat and shouted loudly before she completely disappeared:
"Little girl, the thing I left behind has an expiration date. After that time, the Cage-Eyed Ghost will lose its effect. You'd better hurry up. You don't have much time left. It will expire at 1:00 AM today!"
The voice was loud and high-pitched, and it was heard from far away. Shen Qiqi, who had already walked out of the dark forest, stumbled and almost fell when she heard the voice coming from behind.
It is now the end of the Chou hour, and there are less than three hours left until the beginning of the Mao hour.
If Shen Ning'er was hiding not far from here, perhaps she could find the person before the caged ghost lost its effect.
But what if Shen Ning'er's hiding place is far away from here?
Then didn't she work in vain?
If she had known earlier, she wouldn't have made such a big fuss for that mother-in-law. It would have been much easier to just heat up a steamed bun. She wasted so much time in vain!
The irritable Jiang Xiyan was so angry that he gritted his teeth and rolled up his sleeves. If he was not afraid of wasting more time, he would probably turn around and tie up that old woman and whip her.
The few of them didn't dare to delay any longer. Shen Qiqi immediately summoned the Nine Cloud Chair and released the Cage-Eyed Ghost. Following the direction indicated by the ghost's eyes, they broke through the clouds and fog, cut through the wind and rain, and rushed forward at lightning speed.
Fortunately, the Nine Cloud Chair is a top-grade immortal weapon. No matter whether it is windy or rainy outside, the person sitting in the chair is like sitting in a transparent house, protected from the wind and rain.
Xie Beiming turned his head to look at Shen Qiqi. He saw that her usually clear and bright eyes were now covered with many fine red bloodshot, and her little face was also tired. He felt distressed and said to her softly, "Qiqi, you are tired. Rest for a while. I will call you when we get there."
Shen Qiqi is indeed very tired now. Last night at the sect, she practiced all night without rest. After leaving the sect, she rushed all the way to the Black Forest and prepared two banquets for a group of ghosts. She hardly had a moment to breathe in between.
