After we had eaten and drunk our fill, it was almost dark.
Lin Xi then slowly walked towards the feng shui shop.
On her way back to the feng shui shop, she saw many ghosts being called home by their families to eat and collect money.
These ghosts will carefully avoid humans and take the route through quiet, secluded alleys.
Every ghost's face wore an expression of anticipation and joy.
Inspired by the anticipation of the ghosts, Lin Xi quickened his pace back to the feng shui shop.
She was carrying a delicious roasted chicken that she had specially packed from the roasted chicken shop. As soon as she returned to the feng shui shop, she placed the roasted chicken on the offering table.
Although the founders of the Tai Xuan Sect couldn't eat it either, her sentiment was enough.
After setting up the incense and offerings, Lin Xi glanced at the time; it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.
Based on past experience, no one should come to the door at this time.
She planned to play on her phone for a while, and then rest while repairing the chain.
But to her surprise, visitors came to her door that night.
And the one who came to the feng shui shop at this moment, like the fox demon, was not human.
Lin Xi was playing on her phone when she suddenly saw Mo Rong rushing back from outside.
Since Mo Rong and Xiao Cheng, these two ghosts, were taken in by Lin Xi at the Feng Shui shop, they would stay in a specific place in the shop during the day, but they would also come out at night.
Firstly, being confined in a specific talisman every day is actually quite boring, so coming out at night allows for some fresh air.
Secondly, they were following Lin Xi and had been repairing the chain.
Going out at night to absorb the essence of moonlight can improve the speed and effectiveness of their chain repair process.
They had been by Lin Xi's side for several years, and Lin Xi always trusted them completely when it came to repairing chains at night.
She knew that the two of them would avoid humans and go outside to repair the chains without affecting the normal lives of the living.
As dawn approaches, the two of them will return on their own, just like Dog Batian.
When Lin Xi returned, it was already dark, and Mo Rong and Xiao Cheng were no longer in the feng shui shop. She didn't care, knowing they must have gone outside.
Today is Qingming Festival, and there are many ghosts outside. For them, it is a relatively lively festival.
Even if you're not going out to get your chain repaired, it's still nice to go out and have some fun.
I didn't expect that Mo Rong would rush back from outside at just past ten o'clock.
Not only did she return, but there was also an unfamiliar, eerie aura at the street corner—a ghost.
After Mo Rong returned, she went straight to Lin Xi, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
Lin Xi swiped her phone screen, noticed Mo Rong's expression out of the corner of her eye, and asked directly.
"What happened?"
Judging from Mo Rong's expression, something must have happened, but it must have made her a little hesitant.
Lin Xi also considered them as half a family, so naturally she told them to speak their minds.
Upon hearing this, Mo Rong carefully considered her words before speaking.
She said, "Sect Leader, when I went out just now, I encountered a ghost outside..."
"That ghost said he had been wronged and wanted my help."
Hearing this, Lin Xi finally became interested and looked up at Mo Rong.
"He needs your help? What does he need your help with? Is some other ghost bullying him?"
Although with Lin Xi's help, Mo Rong and Xiao Cheng's strength has improved a lot in the past few years, making them more powerful than ordinary ghosts.
But in the minds of most ghosts, they still retain some human ways of thinking and behaving.
Even if someone is wronged, they usually seek help from official departments, such as the police when they were alive, or the underworld after they die.
Otherwise, you can find a Taoist master or someone who can communicate with spirits.
In short, it's rare to directly ask a ghost for help.
Unless the injustice suffered by that ghost comes from the oppression of another ghost.
In this situation, seeking help from other ghosts would make sense.
Mo Rong's aura was stronger than that of the ghost. In the ghost's eyes, she was probably just a "big sister" who helped him get revenge.
But Mo Rong said—
"No, he said he was murdered and wants me to help him get justice."
Was the ghost murdered?
So the ghost wanted Mo Rong to help him deal with people?
Upon hearing this, Lin Xi immediately frowned and then reminded Mo Rong.
"You didn't agree to his request, did you? You should know that with your current cultivation level, if you were to attack humans, it would cause a great disaster."
Not only will that person definitely get into trouble, but Mo Rong will also be unable to escape divine retribution.
She had told them these principles when she recruited them, and she had repeatedly forbidden them from harming humans.
She knew Mo Rong was kind-hearted, but if she couldn't even keep this basic rule, Lin Xi felt she really had to reconsider Mo Rong's future.
However, she still believed in Mo Rong.
Fortunately, Mo Rong is not the kind of ghost who would lose her mind just because of a few words spoken to her by a person or a ghost.
If she were still human, or had just become a ghost, she might have actually softened her heart.
But after spending a long time at the feng shui shop and witnessing many things around Lin Xi, his temperament had changed from what it was before.
She quickly shook her head and explained, "Don't worry, Sect Leader, I didn't agree to his request."
Lin Xi nodded, looked at Mo Rong, and gestured for her to continue.
Although Mo Rong didn't agree to the ghost's request, the fact that she came back to tell me about it suggests there might be other issues involved.
Mo Rong then recounted her entire experience of seeing the ghost.
......
Perhaps, just as Lin Xi had thought, Qingming Festival is a rather lively festival for ghosts.
Although there wasn't anything particularly interesting happening, Mo Rong sensed an increase in ghosts outside the streets, which made her more restless than usual, and she wanted to go out for a stroll.
So after dark, she and Xiao Cheng left the feng shui shop.
Xiao Cheng was young, and most of the time he was only accompanied by her and Gou Batian in the feng shui shop. When he suddenly saw so many ghosts wandering outside, he took the initiative to go up and chat with them.
Mo Rong, however, wasn't as audacious as him. She proactively found a quiet path and strolled around far away from the ghosts.
Then, on the edge of a small village, she encountered a ghost sitting blankly by the roadside.
When Mo Rong saw the ghost, she naturally didn't go up to greet it. In fact, when she discovered there were other ghosts in the area, she even planned to take a detour.
After all, the ghost was sitting on the ground, perhaps thinking about something, or perhaps waiting for his family to offer him food and summon him.
In any case, she didn't want to go over and bother them.
But to her surprise, the ghost quickly spotted her, then suddenly stood up and greeted her.
