Chapter 1250 The Returnee's Notes 324
A breeze blew, rustling the maple leaves, and suddenly a fallen leaf drifted to Xie Ning's feet. She had been going to the Wu family's house with Granny Yu, but on the way she suddenly saw many spirits, all heading in the same direction.
After calculating the approximate distance, Xie Ning burned a piece of Wu Xiaochun's award certificate. The compass also pointed in that direction, but that direction was not the direction of the Wu family. Instead, it was slightly off-center and led to a small, independent courtyard.
There were no other houses around, and in the pitch black, only a small fire shone in that courtyard.
They all thought Wu Xiaochun would return to the Wu family.
Grandma Yu has lived here for a long time and knows this family. "They are the people who handle funeral arrangements for people in the neighborhood."
"But I haven't heard of anyone dying recently, and..." So many ghosts going there seems very strange.
Grandma Yu looked at Xie Ning and saw that she was staring in another direction. Suddenly, a girl crawled out of the bushes on the small slope. It was Qiu Lu.
Her eyes widened as she stared straight at Xie Ning. "I...I'm here."
She actually knew that Xie Ning and his group were looking for her. Qiu Lu, or rather Wu Xiaochun, seemed to be the one who led the way here.
"Wu Xiaochun".
At this point, Qiu Lu had already been possessed by Wu Xiaochun.
What are you trying to tell us?
"Take my little brother home." She looked towards the courtyard, tears streaming down her face.
Xie Ning also looked over. The network signal here wasn't good, but she had given Wang Ze a communicator before they came, so they wouldn't be unable to contact each other.
On the way to Wang Ze's arrival, Xie Ning did not make any rash moves.
The situation in the courtyard is unclear, and it's dark now, making movement difficult. Instead, we need to deal with Wu Xiaochun first. "Wu Xiaochun, come out first. If you stay in the upper body for too long, Qiu Lu will get hurt."
Wu Xiaochun was taken aback but didn't move. "Take your younger brother and go home."
This seems to have become her obsession.
"I'll do it, you come out first."
Although Xie Ning didn't know why Wu Xiaochun would deliberately lead everyone here, saying he was taking his "younger brother" home, even though Wu Yaozu's spirit was already here.
Wu Xiaochun stared at Xie Ning for a moment, and Wu Yaozu behind her was also a little dazed, but he eventually came to his senses and slowly said, "Sister, okay."
This older sister refers to Xie Ning.
Only then did Wu Xiaochun lower his eyes and leave Qiu Lu's body.
The little girl was terrified. Xie Ning stepped forward, picked her up, tied a long yellow talisman around her wrist, and lit a calming incense stick.
They were in a small bamboo grove, with a few maple trees growing intermittently, their shadows dappled by the faint moonlight.
Wu Xiaochun tilted his head to look at the courtyard. "Little brother, he didn't die, but he died again. He was arrested."
"Take him home."
Wu Yaozu huddled next to Wu Xiaochun, his eyes never leaving her.
Xie Ning frowned, not understanding what Wu Xiaochun meant.
Grandma Yu touched Qiu Lu's forehead and, seeing that she didn't have a fever, felt relieved. Then she gently patted Xie Ning and said, "Teacher Xie, I remembered something, and I don't know if it's related to this."
"What's up?"
"You know I can see ghosts. Over the years, I've seen many ghosts, big and small. I've talked to some of them, and they said that there are people who specialize in catching ghosts and using them as slaves. I don't know if it's true or not."
So when she saw that Xie Ning knew some Taoist arts, she subconsciously suspected that Xie Ning and Wang Ze were bad people who came here to catch ghosts.
Even after people die, their souls cannot find peace. Isn't that a sin?
"Specializing in catching ghosts?"
Xie Ning was a little confused. People like them were actually specializing in catching ghosts and sending them away. What Granny Yu was talking about was probably capturing souls for other purposes, such as soul refining.
That does seem like a trick.
After hesitating for a while, Xie Ning still contacted the special department, just in case, and of course, they had to call in people.
The strange phenomena here alone should warrant a call for help.
Not only in special departments, Xie Ning also asked in a small group if anyone was nearby and could lend a hand if they were not too far away.
Because of the poor signal, the good news took a long time to get through. Also, this place is different from the previous scenic spots; it's more remote.
By the time news came back, Wang Ze had already arrived.
Unfortunately, this place is too remote, and there's basically no one around. Only one person said he was here, but it would take half a day to drive here from where he is now.
People from the special department also replied, but it still takes a long time for them to arrive.
Grandma Yu said that what she just said was spoken by a ghost. Although the ghost only knew a few words, Grandma Yu still managed to piece them together.
She also saw many familiar faces, and now that she thinks about it, she realized that some of them had their funerals held by people from this courtyard.
Wang Ze took a breath and looked at the slightly brightening sky. "Let's go first. Nothing serious should happen. Teacher Gao, you said there are your students here, right?"
"Take Granny Yu to your student's house for a visit. If we haven't come looking for you in two hours, bring the villagers with you."
"Come in first." Xie Ning opened his umbrella, looked down at the Wu siblings, and after the two ghosts went in, he took out his drone to remotely observe them.
It was too dark just now, so the drone's night photography wasn't very good. That's why I'm waiting for daylight to observe it.
"Wow, we're even using high technology now."
Xie Ning had given them several cameras before, which were really useful, but he had only seen this drone before and had never used it.
The drone was very quiet and not easily detected. Xie Ning zoomed in and saw an unknown formation made of bones in the yard.
Wang Ze leaned closer for a look, "It's cat bones... no, there are human bones too."
"It refers to the bone."
Xie Ning had Wang Ze operate the computer to zoom in.
