Chapter 1131 The Returnee's Notes 205
Therefore, Xie Li only set a three-year period, the same as she had originally planned.
During this time, Xie Ning also asked the old man about the whereabouts of those people. The old man only honestly said that he had thrown the others to other places, since his target from the beginning was Xie Li and Xie Ning.
Those people can neither be killed, nor are they of any use being kept alive.
"How can we know where they are?"
The old man shook his head. "There are many ghosts here. I have to avoid some of them. If it weren't for Chu Jing being here, and our unity, we would probably have been eaten long ago."
"Do the ghosts here... eat other ghosts too?"
"That's natural. Ghosts eat ghosts and become even stronger." The prerequisite is that they no longer think about being reborn.
Seeing Xie Ning frowning, Xie Li simply comforted her, "Those people won't go far. Even if they have other ulterior motives, they won't succeed."
Xie Ning was puzzled. "Why is Grandma so certain?"
"I believe in Aunt Fang's abilities."
Speaking of this, Xie Ning couldn't help but recall what she had been thinking. She felt that the town was strange and had been pondering this question, but she hadn't had time to discuss it with Xie Li these past few days.
“Grandma, the people in Qing Shi Town are suffering. They are like being trapped in a cage. But this kind of isolated life is fine in chaotic times.”
The country is relatively peaceful now, so I think Qing Shi Town doesn't have to bear the responsibility of exorcising these ghosts all by itself. Why not try to seek help from the country?
They are also Chinese, and I believe our government will not stand idly by.
Besides, doesn't the government also have special departments?
Even the most powerful ghosts and formations can't withstand the power of a group, so why not...?
Xie Li listened very attentively, "Do you think they wouldn't have thought of that if you've already thought of it?"
"Aunt Fang has already been trying to contact people and officials. Things were in a mess before, so nothing was done, and it's not something that can be done in a short time."
The main reason is that we only recently started making contact with the outside world and have gained some recognition. Aunt Fang needs to understand the outside world first before she can act in a more convenient way.
Actually, it's her fault. If she had come to Qing Shi Town earlier, perhaps Qing Shi Town could have made contact with the authorities sooner.
Of course, there's another one... Aunt Fang is cleaning up the mole within the organization.
Do you really think that everyone in Qing Shi Town has been united for thousands of years? Human nature is complex. There will always be people who want to fish in troubled waters and stir up trouble. There are ghosts outside and ghosts inside.
First, we need to take care of the household chores.
Xie Li waved her hand, signaling Xie Ning to go ahead and practice her spells, while she took out copper coins and began to deduce the spells.
After a long while, looking at the identical result on the ground, Xie Li expressionlessly scrambled the divination again, but it was just another death.
People will eventually pass away when they get old.
And so, Xie Ning stayed in the "realm" for a full three years. She had a great talent for learning, especially in focusing on only one thing during those three years.
When she went out, she was a completely different person.
In the past, she always looked at things through layers of veils, but now she can see the essence directly, and ordinary tricks can no longer fool her eyes.
Now she can not only tell when something is wrong, but she can also solve it.
Significant improvements have been made in all aspects of Taoist arts.
Xie Li is also full of energy, and teaching her quick-witted apprentices is a breeze; she can grasp the concepts with just a few simple pointers.
Before they came out, the old man and the other spirits had already been collected into wooden tablets and other containers. During this time, Xie Ning also learned a skill from Xie Li: he could inscribe runes on ordinary items and refine them into containers that could temporarily hold spirits.
Although it's not as good as the Soul Umbrella, its effect is still quite good.
Right where they appeared, there was a tree with a bell tied to it with a red ribbon.
Xie Ning squatted down and glanced inside the bell. There was a character "肆" engraved on it, which meant that this was the fourth one they had encountered.
This position doesn't seem too good.
Xie Li seemed to have seen something, and stepped towards the patch of grass. But after only a few steps, the grass began to move without any wind, and a fleeting ghostly figure darted out in an instant.
It is running away.
Xie Ning stood up and heard Xie Li snort coldly. He casually flicked out a red rope, which seemed to come alive as it rapidly snaked forward and instantly wrapped around the ghostly figure's neck.
