Chapter 96
I listened to the leading man continue speaking.
They first introduced themselves. The man in the lead was called Gui Qing, and the two next to him were called Gui Hua and Gui Zhen.
My father and them have been sworn brothers since childhood, and they are good brothers who have been through thick and thin together. When my father stole the Yuhao Stone for me, the three of them also made great efforts behind the scenes.
After hearing this, most of the anger in my heart dissipated.
Later, they were punished by the high priest, who directly wiped out ten years of their cultivation. Afterwards, the ghost tribe kept hunting down my family, and they also made a lot of efforts to intervene. Otherwise, my family would have been captured by the ghost tribe long ago.
Even the fact that I was able to stay outside was due to their intercession with some people who were on good terms with my father.
I also learned that not all people in the ghost clan can awaken the energy in their bodies. This energy is called ghost spirit in the ghost clan.
Including the clear and righteous energy, the black and destructive energy, and my current silver energy.
Moreover, these three energies do not increase gradually. Some people are born with the righteousness, and some are born with the destructive energy. However, only those who have gone through three tribulations can possess the silver energy, which is the ghost spirit that I have now.
I did experience three divine punishments.
Divine punishment is the punishment from God to a person. It is a great luck to escape divine punishment once, but I have escaped it three times, which is very rare among the ghosts.
I remembered that the first time I was punished by heaven, I had the Buddhist treasures and feather stone given to me by Master Jinghai to ward off the disaster. The second time, I was struck directly and lost my memory for ten years. I was lucky. The third time, I was lucky and used the treasure of Tianshi Mansion, Tianshi Sword, to escape.
So this is actually only the second time I have resisted divine punishment.
But everything in the world is predestined. Whether it is the red rope given to me by Master Jinghai or the Tianshi Sword, they are all destined.
Let me continue talking about my three uncles.
After being punished, they volunteered to join the Xuanzhen Bureau. The Xuanzhen Bureau is an official organization, and they wanted to use it to add strength to rescue my family.
The Xuan Detective Bureau also has achievements, and the weight of these achievements is not low.
After listening to their stories, all the anger in my heart disappeared. I originally thought that the entire ghost clan was targeting our family, but it seems that is not the case.
I apologize for what I did before.
They said we were all family, and there was no need for this. They still blamed themselves for not being able to rescue my father, and they also told me some bad news: last time in Bai'an Town, I suffered a divine punishment. The Feather Stone had saved me, but it had also developed cracks, requiring the nourishment of pure ghost spirits. My family had actually hoped to be released, but the high priest had imposed additional punishment, resulting in their continued imprisonment.
I clenched my fists so hard that I didn't even notice my nails scratching my skin.
"Can I go back to the ghost clan?" I asked.
The three of them were silent for a while, and then Gui Qing said, "We are all from the ghost clan, so why can't we go back? But it may not be easy for you to see your parents."
They also said that I had to go through the "gates of hell" before I could see my family.
The so-called Ghost Gate is the real gate of hell. We, the Ghost Clan, have mastered the secret of communicating with spirits since ancient times. People like our High Priest and Elders can walk through the Ghost Gate.
The gates of hell are extremely difficult to cross. If you are not careful, you will die.
"No matter what, I'm going to give it a try," I said firmly.
The three of them looked at each other, and Gui Qing said, "Then I'll go back and contact the people in the clan and tell you the result."
"Thank you." I raised my glass and toasted my three uncles.
This was the first time I met a ghost. Although the way was not good, there was finally hope.
After the banquet, I don’t know where he heard from, but he said that I had created a talisman, and he insisted on pulling me over to show it to him.
So I demonstrated the Fire Bell Talisman to him.
I used the ghost spirit to draw a fire bell symbol and it stopped in mid-air.
He looked at the talisman in disbelief, exclaiming, "It's amazing! This thing is amazing. Only you, who understands the techniques of the ghost tribe and is also proficient in Taoist talismans, could have such a fantastic idea."
"Brother Danchen, has no one tried this before?" I said.
"Some people have tried, but all have failed. Although the magic spells of each sect have the same goal, the methods of cultivation are different. Practicing at the same time will cause mutual repulsion. But you are different. The heavenly punishment seems to have suppressed the power of the ghost clan in your body. So when you later learned Taoism, the repulsion was not obvious. It seems that it is really a blessing in disguise." Liu Danchen exclaimed.
If he were a scientist, I have no doubt that he would capture me and take me back for biopsy research. He looks so abnormal now!
After hearing what he said, it seemed like I really had a blessing in disguise.
After saying goodbye to Liu Danchen, I headed straight back to Shishi. The excitement I felt was indescribable. I was so excited to see my family that I couldn't sleep.
I tossed and turned in bed all night and was not sleepy at all.
When I woke up in the morning, I had dark circles under my eyes.
My cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number. I picked up and asked, "Hello?"
"Miss Gui, the investigation into the Qianshan Temple incident has concluded. Please gather at Qingfeng Pavilion at 10:00 this morning."
After he finished speaking, the phone was disconnected with a beep.
Qingfeng Pavilion, a nationwide chain of teahouses, also serves as a gathering place for the Xuanzhen Bureau in various cities. The outer room is for ordinary people to drink tea, while the inner room is for Xuanzhen Bureau members to meet and rest.
I didn’t expect that Xuanzhen Bureau was so efficient and got the results in such a short time.
When I arrived at Qingfeng Pavilion, Liu Danchen and Yuan Li were sitting inside, along with a woman I didn't know. She looked to be in her thirties or forties, with delicate eyebrows and a capable look.
Seeing me appear, the three of them stood up one after another. Liu Danchen introduced me, "This is Ma Chun, Sister Ma, from the Northeast Ma family."
Then he introduced me to her and said, "This is the ghost girl from the ghost tribe. You can just call her little sister."
"Hello, Sister Ma (little sister)." We shook hands.
"Just the four of us?" I asked.
"That's right, there are only four of us. Do you want to rest? If not, let's set off now." Yuan Li said.
"Then let's just go," I said.
Our group of four got into Yuanli's car and headed straight for Qianshan Temple.
In the car, Sister Ma told me about Qianshan Temple. After investigation, it turned out that Qianshan Temple had been secretly violating Xuanmen rules and attacking ordinary people for the past two years. If I hadn't captured the son of the Qianshan Temple's head, who knows how much more evil they would have done.
"If that's the case, why wasn't it discovered sooner?" I asked.
Sister Ma sighed and said, "Our Xuanzhen Bureau is currently in its growth phase, but we still don't have enough manpower. Compared to us young elites from various Xuan sects, there are too many small sects with mixed resources to take care of them all. So we can only deal with each case as we find it."
It seems that the Xuanzhen Bureau also has its own difficulties.
