Chapter 187 You're So Generous
Du Ziheng never expected things to turn out this way.
He invited Yu Zhiyi over to ask her to treat You Bingyue's illness, but who could have expected that upon arrival he would hear You Bingyue slandering Yu Zhiyi.
He was also feeling uneasy, but he was a man who valued old friendships and remembered You Bingyue's inexplicable coma. He could only suppress all his thoughts and plead with Yu Zhiyi, "Zhiyi, please take a look at her. Don't worry, I won't skimp on the reward."
For the sake of the money, Yu Zhiyi did not refuse.
Anyway, she was going to deal with this anyway.
After all, she only left Caonan Village because she turned a blind eye to those two evil spirits.
Yes, a demon.
The reason why You Bingyue was unconscious for several days and had nightmares was because she was haunted by an evil spirit.
The evil spirits tormented her in her dreams, not to play around, but to drain her life force.
Du Ziheng was clever enough to know to use Yu Zhiyi's talisman to suppress evil spirits.
It was because of her amulet that the two evil spirits were temporarily suppressed.
However, amulets are only for defense and have no offensive function. Moreover, the spiritual power on them is limited and they become completely useless once used up.
If she doesn't come today, You Bingyue will continue to fall into a coma tonight.
Moreover, the two evil spirits will take their anger out on her because they were briefly suppressed, and her vital energy will be drained even faster.
Yu Zhiyi wasn't a saint. After You Bingyue snatched credit from her face, she wouldn't pretend to be magnanimous and say it was okay.
Therefore, she would allow the evil spirits to harass You Bingyue.
However, she also wouldn't let evil spirits kill people.
Although doing so would not taint her with sin, it would disturb her resolve to follow the Dao.
For those who cultivate the Tao, the greatest taboo is the growth of inner demons.
Once she gets used to using evil spirits to achieve her goals, she will inevitably be affected in the future.
After all, once something like this happens, it will happen again.
She dared not gamble on anyone's humanity, including her own.
You Bingyue suppressed the hatred in her heart and asked with lowered eyes, "Why did I fall into a coma? Moreover, in my dream, I became Cao Dali's daughter-in-law and replaced Cao Zhaodi as Cao Yaozu's stepmother."
The thought that she, a noble modern person, had to condescend to ask this question from a feudal ancient person made You Bingyue extremely depressed.
But she really found this strange.
Yu Zhiyi said calmly, "Of course it's because Cao Dali and his wife have become entangled with you."
"What?!"
You Bingyue's expression changed; she never expected such an answer.
Shocked, she even felt that her face and forearm didn't hurt as much anymore.
Du Ziheng was also shocked: "Cao Dali and his wife? Didn't they reincarnate?"
Yu Zhiyi's lips curled slightly: "With Cao Zhaodi watching over them, how could they possibly be reincarnated?"
"So, Cao Zhaodi isn't the only ghost in Caonan Village?"
Du Ziheng suddenly realized this.
Yu Zhiyi nodded: "That's right. Those people who were killed by Cao Yaozu back then didn't get reincarnated. The 'people' you saw when you entered the village were actually them."
"You are being entertained by Cao Zhaodi's parents and their family."
"That seventh aunt is Cao Zhaodi's mother."
"After Cao Zhaodi became a vengeful ghost, although she was filled with resentment, she maintained a degree of rationality because of the golden light of merit given to her by Sister Fan. Although she wanted to devour all her enemies alive, she restrained herself with reason."
"As for Cao Dali and his group, although they are evil spirits, they are no match for Cao Zhaodi. Even if they joined forces, they couldn't touch a single finger of Cao Zhaodi."
"After they died, Cao Zhaodi gave them a severe beating and then went to sleep at the bottom of the river."
"At first, they were worried that Cao Zhaodi would continue to torment and retaliate against them. Later, they found that Cao Zhaodi seemed to never wake up, so they started to wander around the village. Whenever someone entered the village, they would come out to scare them."
"They even had malicious intentions, but fortunately, as Caonan Village became more and more deserted, and the legend of the female ghost emerged, no one went to the village to do anything reckless anymore."
"They don't like desolate villages, but because their remains are in the village, they have no way to leave."
“Until we went there a few days ago.”
Du Ziheng asked in bewilderment, "Since their remains cannot leave the village, why are they clinging to Bingyue?"
You Bingyue looked at You Bingyue with a half-smile: "Naturally, it's because she took things from the village. So, they have a medium."
Du Ziheng looked shocked.
You Bingyue instinctively denied it outright: "You're talking nonsense!"
When he looked up, he saw Yu Zhiyi's eyes, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
Are you sure you still want to lie at a point like this?
You Bingyue's breath hitched.
How could she forget that they still need this woman to catch ghosts!
Although she actually preferred to have Ouyang Shuo come and help her, she thought of Ouyang Shuo's behavior when he was in the village.
Moreover, Ouyang Shuo was injured by that female ghost, and it's unknown when he will recover.
She didn't want to be bothered by those things for even a day longer.
She gritted her teeth and said with a face full of humiliation, "I did take something..."
Under Du Ziheng's incredulous gaze, he said, "Isn't it because I felt that everything in the village was unclaimed and I didn't want it to go to waste?"
Du Ziheng pursed his lips and remained silent.
This reason is difficult to evaluate.
However, if we really investigate, we can't say that You Bingyue did anything utterly heinous.
After all, what she took was not something belonging to a living person.
If there were no ghosts, no one could hold her accountable for her crimes.
But there are no "ifs".
There really are ghosts.
He pinched the bridge of his nose and stopped looking at You Bingyue.
Vice Minister Fan chuckled and voiced what Du Ziheng hadn't said: "Actually, Miss You's actions weren't necessarily wrong. After all, who in their right mind would imagine that there would be a ghost in an empty house?"
"If you don't know there's something supernatural going on, taking some unclaimed items is actually quite normal, isn't it?"
"It's like finding something on the street. If no one comes back to claim it, the normal reaction would be to keep it for yourself."
Yu Zhiyi looked at him thoughtfully: "Does Vice Minister Fan mean that the thing should belong to Miss You?"
Vice Minister Fan nodded: "After all, she found it. It's a matter of luck and personal ability. No one else has the right to comment."
Yu Zhiyi clapped her hands: "Minister Fan is so magnanimous."
Vice Minister Fan felt there was a sarcastic undertone to these words, but pretended not to notice.
But then Yu Zhiyi said, "What Miss You took away was a priceless jade pendant. It was given to her by the king of a country when Fan Shilang's father was sent as an envoy to the Western Regions. It is priceless."
She smiled slightly: "That jade pendant was given to your younger brother by Vice Minister Fan's father, and it was later lost in Caonan Village."
Vice Minister Fan's magnanimous smile froze: "Huh?"
