"What do you want to do? After I break the formation, will you kill them?" Wen Wan asked softly.
Qiuhua's eyes turned red, and her expression became terrifying again. She said viciously, "We want to kill them! We want them to die! We want them all to die!"
Wen Wan understood her hatred, but as a ghost, there was a price to pay for arbitrarily harming normal humans.
Wen Wan didn't know how to start. She hesitated for a while, then organized her words carefully before saying, "Qiuhua, listen to me."
"I know they deserve to die, and I know you hate them, but killing them isn't worth it."
"I know! But we are willing to do it! Even if we can't reincarnate, even if we have to pay a heavy price for it, we must kill them all! We want this village to disappear from now on!" Qiuhua shouted in despair.
The hatred in her heart no longer allowed her to care about so many things. She just wanted this village to disappear and never exist again.
Wen Wan listened to her hateful words, sighed, and tried to persuade her: "You can let this place die of drought, or scare them. At least the sins you receive won't be too severe, and you won't be able to reincarnate for long."
"But if you kill them all, do you know how long you have to atone for your sins in the underworld before you can be reincarnated?"
"Even if you don't kill them, after they die, the underworld will settle accounts with their sins, and they will pay the price."
"We can't wait any longer! We must see them pay the price now! If it weren't for the formation, we would have killed them long ago! Is there any need to curse them with drought?" Qiu Hua shouted.
"I respect your choice, but I still hope you won't do anything to them. The law will punish them, and the underworld will also punish them after they die." Wen Wan said seriously.
After he finished speaking, he paused, pursed his lips, and continued, "I hope you can move on from this matter, reincarnate as soon as possible, and continue your wonderful life."
"It's really not worth sacrificing so many of you for these beasts."
"But no matter what, I respect your choice."
Wen Wan stood up and walked towards the door after she finished speaking. "I'm going to break the formation now. You guys should think about it carefully, okay?"
Jiang Yan stayed in the room and stared at Qiu Hua, feeling a little scared. "Wanwan, wait for me, I'll go too." As she said that, she was about to pull Su Ran to go with her.
Su Ran didn't follow Jiang Yan, "You two go, I'll stay here and talk to her."
"Huh?" Jiang Yan was stunned after hearing her words, and then said a little worriedly, "Can you do it by yourself?"
Su Ran nodded, then urged her, "It's okay, go quickly."
Seeing her repeated insistence, Jiang Yan left with Wen Wan.
This formation is not difficult to break. After all, so much time has passed and the Taoist magic it empowers has somewhat degraded.
Wen Wan turned on the flashlight on her cell phone and walked quietly on the road. She took Jiang Yan around in circles, found the center of the formation, and destroyed it in one fell swoop.
In an instant, the village was filled with ghostly auras, and the ground dried up in an instant. Even the small stream that had previously flowed with a little water was completely dry.
Jiang Yan looked at the scene before her, bit her lip, and asked anxiously, "Wanwan, are we really going to break the formation?"
Wen Wan stared blankly ahead and whispered, "It's a cycle of karma. If Shouwang Village had never done something like this, they wouldn't be hated by ghosts like Qiuhua."
"Do you feel pity for Qiuhua and the others?"
Jiang Yan nodded. How could she not feel pity? They were all people who had suffered such an unforeseen misfortune. They should have had wonderful lives, but they were all ruined by this group of people.
"But, Taoist Priest Li often says that no matter what the reason, it is wrong for ghosts to harm people. They no longer belong to this world, so they should not interfere in human affairs."
Wen Wan sighed and expressed her opinion to her seriously, "Jiang Yan, everything has two sides. The pain they have experienced cannot be let go just like that."
"Right, isn't it? Aren't these all just our subjective feelings? Jingyi went through so much pain back then, you said she wanted revenge, right?"
"These things are not so absolute. Right and wrong, cause and effect, are just their choices."
Jiang Yan stood there, pursed her lips, thought carefully for a while, and then nodded.
Everyone has different opinions. Just like Master Li and Wen Wan are both Taoists, but their ideas are very different.
It’s really hard to say who is right or wrong. Everyone has their own reasons. We can only seek common ground while reserving differences.
Wen Wan lowered her head and sighed, then said, "They have endured for so long, experienced so much pain, and still don't want to reincarnate. How can I bear to reject them?"
"I don't think the ancestor of Watch Village imagined his descendants would become like this when he set up this formation. He wouldn't want to protect villagers like this, would he?"
"So let it be, let them do whatever they want! At least it will make them feel better, and it won't be a waste of my trip."
"Besides, I think they won't do it in the end!"
After hearing her words, Jiang Yan saw the ghostly aura scattered in front of her and gently hugged Wen Wan.
She had always been envious of Wen Wan's abilities after learning about them, but now she felt that it was better to have others, as the pressure was too great.
Jiang Yan nodded, then said, "You're right."
"But what makes you think they won't do it?"
Wen Wan looked at her and smiled with narrowed eyes, "I just know, do you want to make a bet?"
Jiang Yan curled her lips, "I won't bet with you, you must have figured it out!"
Wen Wan shrugged helplessly, "Really not, I'm good at calculating people, but I've never calculated ghosts."
Jiang Yan frowned and said in disbelief, "Then how can you be so sure?"
"It's just that I think that only people who have experienced the same thing can empathize with them, so I think Su Ran will definitely be able to make sense to them."
Wen Wan dragged Jiang Yan back to Chen Jiu's house. When Su Ran saw them, she whispered, "You're back."
"Yeah." Wen Wan answered softly, then asked her doubtfully, "What did you say to Qiuhua and the others while you were here?"
Su Ran shook her head and said softly, "Nothing, I just tried to persuade them. Even though I hate it, I don't want them to get stuck like this."
Wen Wan sat on the stool and couldn't help but sigh. Life has always been a dilemma. It all depends on what they choose. I just hope they can be more open-minded.
Just as she was lost in thought, Qiuhua and her group of ghosts suddenly returned.
