Chapter 23
"Everything has a reason. She will tell you." Erma smiled maliciously.
When I saw Erma’s smile, I felt a chill down my spine.
"Okay, let's talk about it tomorrow. I'm so sleepy." Erma said with a yawn.
Zheng Yunyun and I left the room. Zheng Yunyun felt much more at ease now. In Yingtan, Jiangxi, everyone has heard of the name of Tianshi Mansion.
I took Zheng Yunyun to the guest room, and she insisted on pulling me to sleep with her.
After a while, she began to snore softly. Perhaps she had been in a bad mood recently, and now that she felt relieved, she fell asleep quickly.
I was not sleepy at all and kept thinking about what Erma meant.
I don't understand why she chose to come to me when there were so many people in the apartment, and I don't think I can help her in any way.
As soon as the sun rose, Erma came knocking on the door. Many people in the Tianshi Mansion rose early and needed to do morning exercises.
I fell asleep late last night and couldn't open my eyes when I heard the knock on the door. I struggled to get up and opened the door angrily.
Seeing me like this, Erma smiled secretly.
The three of us left the house and happened to meet Li Danyang.
Erma bowed respectfully and said, "Good morning, Senior Brother."
Li Danyang nodded and asked me, "When did you come to the Tianshi Mansion?"
"I came here at midnight yesterday," I said.
Li Danyang was slightly surprised and asked, "Is there something urgent?"
I told him the whole story, and Li Danyang calculated with his fingers, and found that what he said was not much different from what Erma said.
Finally he said, "Let Erma come down the mountain to help you, so that Master won't have to worry about her all day."
"Thank you, big brother!" Erma said happily.
After saying that, Li Danyang went to the Tianshi Temple.
"Sister, let's go. We don't have to do morning exercises today!" Erma excitedly pulled my arm and ran to her room.
I staggered with her and said, "Why are you so anxious? I'll go tell Mao Jianming."
We split up into two groups. She went back to pack her things, and Zheng Yunyun and I went to find Mao Jianming.
Mao Jianming had gotten up much earlier than us and was watching the disciples doing their morning exercises in the Tianshi Mansion. When he saw us arrive, he said, "Good morning, you two."
I said we could go down the mountain and Erma would help us deal with these things.
Mao Jianming had witnessed Erma's abilities with his own eyes. If it weren't for Erma in Eshan, we would have died long ago.
"That's great." Mao Jianming said, "Why don't we have breakfast here before leaving?"
"It's not impossible. To be honest, I haven't eaten anything since yesterday," I said.
"That's fine. You don't know, I slept very soundly here last night. I feel very at ease here," said Zheng Yunyun.
"How can I not feel at ease? I fell asleep as soon as I touched the pillow last night." I joked with her.
Her face turned red and she pushed my arm with her hand.
"Come on, let's go eat.
I took them both to the cafeteria.
Halfway through the walk, we ran into Erma, who was just coming out with only one bag. When she saw the three of us, she excitedly said, "Let's go! I've packed everything."
"We want to have dinner here before leaving. We were tired after a whole day yesterday and are all hungry," I said.
"If there's anything delicious in Tianshi Mansion, let's go down the mountain to eat!" Erma obviously wanted to go down the mountain as soon as possible.
Mao Jianming then said, "Okay, let's go down the mountain and eat."
As a result, we went down the mountain on an empty stomach. Along the way, we met disciples from the Tianshi Temple who were returning from the foot of the mountain, and they all greeted Erma and me.
Finally we reached the foot of the mountain and couldn't wait to walk into the breakfast shop. At the foot of Longhu Mountain, there are many farmhouses.
After we entered, the boss came up to us warmly and said, "Master Erma, why are you coming down the mountain again?"
According to the boss, Erma seems to run down the mountain quite often.
"Boss, serve my friends a roasted chicken with chestnuts, a fish from the Luxi River, a bowl of Shangqing tofu, and some shredded winter bamboo shoots and salted pork. As for the soup, let's have the stone ear stew." Erma said.
"Okay." The boss greeted us warmly, serving tea and pouring water.
"Why are you eating like this so early in the morning?" I asked.
"You two friends have been to Tianshi Mansion twice, how can you not try some of the special dishes here?" Erma said.
"I'm not afraid of wasting the chicken and fish if I can't finish them in the morning."
My worries were completely unnecessary. When the dishes came up one by one, not to mention Mao Jianming and Zheng Yunyun, even I, who was half of the people in the Tianshi Mansion, was tempted.
The boss also specially gave us a Guixi Nacai dish, which was crisp and refreshing and very appetizing.
I haven't eaten authentic Tianshifu dishes for a long time. The four of us ate all of them.
When I was leaving, I went to pay the bill.
"Hey, young master, please don't embarrass me. All of us who have opened small shops at the foot of Longhu Mountain have received favors from the Tianshi Mansion, so we dare not accept your money." The boss said respectfully.
"That won't do." I stuffed the money into his hand, but he refused to take it.
Erma said at this time: "Sister, don't give it to him. I will come over and pray for him when I am free."
"Hey, thank you, Master Erma!" said the boss with a smile.
Judging from his expression, he is determined not to take the money.
The four of us found a car and returned to Yingtan. I don’t know if it was because it was daytime or because Erma was there to help, but the journey was extremely smooth and there were no unexpected problems.
When we arrived in Yingtan, we first went to my bakery to get some loaves of bread. These were for Erma. She loved my bread very much.
Then we went back to the house I rented.
Erma stood in front of the apartment, she felt something before she even went in. The three of us stood behind her, waiting for her.
"Let's go." She said after observing for a while.
I led them into the house.
Erma said, "I didn't notice when I came here before, but the resentment here is so strong."
"Do you know what's going on?" I asked her.
"I just checked. There's a strong sense of resentment on the eleventh floor and in the basement parking lot. People must have died in those two places. Sister, please avoid going there. The whole apartment is stained with a faint gloomy aura from those two. It seems they've been out for a while."
"What did you say? What do they mean?" I asked in surprise.
"There are two ghosts, sister, didn't you see it with your own eyes?" Erma looked at me in surprise.
Two?
I always thought there was only one.
Could it be the red clothes they both wore?
This is possible, after all, I didn't dare to look at their appearance carefully.
After resting for a while at my place, we went to Zheng Yunyun's apartment. The evil spirits she encountered were more powerful, and Erma also said that I would need to resolve the ghosts I encountered myself.
When she got to Zheng Yunyun's place, Erma took out a talisman from her bag and stuck it on the door. She then gave Zheng Yunyun a triangular talisman and asked her to carry it with her.
Later we asked her what to do, and she smiled and said that when that thing came out at night, we shouldn't be afraid and just watch her.
