Liang Shaoyuan began to have nightmares every day. The nightmares were all about being chased by ghosts. Even though he knew he was dreaming, he could not wake up. Every time he was about to be caught, he would hear a woman calling his name, and then he would run in the direction of the voice and wake up in shock.
At first he didn't think much about it, just thought he had a mental problem, so he rushed to the hospital to see a doctor. After the examination, the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with him, but at Liang Shaoyuan's repeated insistence, he still prescribed some medicine to intervene.
At first the medicine was somewhat effective and he didn't dream as often, but last night he suddenly started dreaming again. It was the same familiar dream as before, but the difference this time was that no one called his name, and he didn't run for long before he was caught by the hideous evil ghost.
Just when the evil ghost was about to eat him, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulders and back, as if being burned by something, and then he suddenly woke up, and it was around three o'clock in the morning. From then on, he didn't dare to sleep anymore, and stayed awake until dawn. Then he called Zhou Ziheng, hoping to get Wen Wan's help.
When Wen Wan heard this, she understood that the talisman she had placed on Liang Shaoyuan's back last time had taken effect and saved Liang Shaoyuan's life at the critical moment.
After Liang Shaoyuan finished recounting his thrilling experience, he still broke out in a cold sweat at the memory. Wiping the sweat from his forehead, he sighed and said, "Master Wen, Ziheng, you have no idea how thrilling the scene was. I was completely desperate, thinking I was doomed. Suddenly, I felt a pain in my shoulder, and then I woke up straight away. Could it be that I'm gifted? Have I awakened some special ability?"
Listening to Liang Shaoyuan's whimsical nonsense, Wen Wan couldn't help but roll her eyes, and then said directly: "It's my talisman, what kind of bullshit special ability is this?"
It was Liang Shaoyuan's turn to be stunned. He asked in confusion, "Huh? When did Master Wen give me the talisman? How come I didn't know about it?"
"Master! Did you anticipate that I would encounter a ghost?"
By this time, the waiter had brought all the dishes. Wen Wan explained while eating, "When I helped you up last time, I left a talisman on your shoulder. It can save your life at a critical moment. When I looked at your face last time, I knew that you were destined to have this disaster."
Wenwan savored these delicacies carefully and couldn't help but close her eyes and sigh, "How delicious! It turns out that expensive things are delicious!"
After hearing her words, Liang Shaoyuan recalled his behavior last time and felt a little embarrassed. He then said gratefully, "I didn't expect it to be like this! I was judging others by my own standards! I thought Master Wen was tripping me on purpose!"
Hearing the gratitude in his words, she pointed at Zhou Ziheng next to her and said, "Don't thank me, thank him if you want to thank someone."
"Teacher Zhou said you are one of his few friends. I don't want Teacher Zhou to lose another friend, so I'm helping you out. If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother with this."
Wen Wan's words gave Zhou Ziheng a lot of face. Liang Shaoyuan was extremely grateful at this moment. He quickly took Zhou Ziheng's hand and said with emotion, "Ziheng, thanks to you, otherwise I, your brother, would have died this time! From now on, you are my brother's real brother! If you need any help, just tell me. I will go through fire and water for you."
Wen Wan looked at the two of them chatting away, lowered her head and smiled secretly, then began to graze on the dishes on the table. She would never say that she was trying to divert her attention just to eat more and talk less.
Zhou Ziheng shook his head helplessly upon seeing this, and comforted Liang Shaoyuan for a long time before calming him down.
Liang Shaoyuan seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly added, "Oh, right! Master Wen! Are you the one who called my name?"
When Wen Wan heard his words, she raised her head in surprise. She only placed the talisman and did nothing else. She thought for a while before frowning and saying, "I only placed the talisman and did nothing else. It wasn't me who called your name."
Liang Shaoyuan was so frightened that he turned pale, "Ah? Could the one calling me be a ghost?" He rolled his eyes and almost fainted.
Then he grabbed Wen Wan's sleeve and said excitedly, "Master Wen! You must save me! Don't you know that I don't even dare to go home now!"
Before Wen Wan could pull his hand away, Zhou Ziheng, who was standing by, couldn't help but frown when he saw this, then reached out and brushed away Liang Shaoyuan's hand that was on Wen Wan's sleeve.
Wen Wan then continued to pick up food and said as she ate, "Judging from the symptoms you described, you must have seen a ghost. Do you know how you look to me now?"
Liang Shaoyuan shook his head and stared at Wen Wan, waiting for her answer.
Wen Wan looked up at him seriously and said, "There's always a black mist around your forehead, and your Yang Fire is extremely weak, and you're surrounded by Yin Qi."
Then he turned to Zhou Ziheng and said, "You can see it too, right?"
Zhou Ziheng nodded. He was born with the ability to see ghosts and ghosts, and what he saw was almost exactly the same as Wen Wan described.
Liang Shaoyuan was a little surprised at this time, "Brother, you..."
Wen Wan took a glance and explained for him, "He was born on Ghost Festival, and his yang energy is naturally weak. He can see ghosts and often encounters ghosts, so he should try to avoid going out at night, especially after midnight.
The reason why she told Liang Shaoyuan this was actually to take advantage of the fact that they both shared the same suffering to bring them closer together, and at the same time to reduce people's misunderstandings about Zhou Ziheng. She more or less hoped that Zhou Ziheng could have more friends who understood him.
Liang Shaoyuan sighed and took Zhou Ziheng's hand again, "Brother! We really are in the same boat! No wonder you always refused when I asked you to do a night scene before. People often even accused you of being a big shot. I never thought the truth would be this."
Seeing this, Wen Wan continued to explain, "That ghost comes into your dreams every night. As long as you are dreaming, it will enter your dreams and invade your will. Just like you said, you were caught yesterday. If the talisman hadn't worked, you would have died then."
"The medicine you take can only reduce the frequency of your dreams, but it can't guarantee that you won't dream at all. As long as you sleep, you're likely to dream. That ghost will wreak havoc in your dreams all day, sucking away your yang energy. Over time, you'll surely die in your dreams."
"But what I'm more curious about is who saved you before."
After listening to this, Liang Shaoyuan smiled bitterly, shook his head and replied, "I really don't know."
Wen Wan then asked him, "Have you bought anything new for your home recently?"
Liang Shaoyuan frowned as he listened to Wen Wan's question and tried to recall it, but since he never asked about family matters, he couldn't remember clearly. He replied, "I can't remember."
"If a ghost can appear in your dreams every day, there must be an intermediary in your home. Otherwise, if it simply appears in your home, you would normally sense something is wrong, rather than just dreaming," Wen Wan explained.
