Chapter 573 She has activated a new function
"Don't bother. I prefer our own old domestic products to imported ones." Those foreign luxury goods are ridiculously expensive and are a face-saving project for many people, but she doesn't need them.
"That's right. I've never seen you compare yourself with others."
He Ning chuckled. Sister Dai was wearing new Chinese-style clothes, which were specially made by a master. They were no worse than those sold abroad.
After He Ning went abroad, Dai Qing was completely quiet. In her spare time, she stayed at home and practiced her mental skills.
After practicing for these years, Dai Qing vaguely felt that her Dantian was different from before.
My tendons and veins are much wider than before, my body feels lighter, and all the impurities and toxins in my body have been excreted.
Now, her skin is so white that you can see every pore. Moreover, her body is full of strength, as if she is about to ascend.
Dai Qing sat on the sofa in the living room and meditated. After one circle of meditation, she felt relaxed all over.
Suddenly, she felt a burning sensation in her chest. Dai Qing was startled and took out the jade token from her chest.
There are three phoenixes in the jade token. I wonder if she can send the people away now?
When this thought came to her mind, Dai Qing looked up at the calendar on the wall. It was exactly the tenth day of the seventh lunar month, and the Ghost Festival would be just a few days away.
There has always been a folk belief that the gates of hell open on the first day of July, and ghosts run rampant on the fourteenth day of July. It is natural to send souls back to the underworld at this time of year.
Dai Qing recalled the note her grandfather left for her, read it silently several times, and after making sure everything was fine, she closed her eyes, mobilized the power in her dantian, and sent the soul away according to the instructions on the note.
As she performed the technique, there was a slight fluctuation in the air, and then Dai Qing felt a chilly air spreading from the surroundings.
After a while, Dai Qing opened her eyes and found that the air flow in the northeast was fluctuating. A corridor slowly appeared, surrounded by black and gray mist, and the temperature of the whole room dropped a lot.
Dai Qing stood up and took a closer look inside. It was as dark as ink.
At this moment, two phantoms appeared in the corridor. When they saw Dai Qing, they were stunned.
"You opened the ghost door?"
"Yes, I have three souls here that need to be sent away." Dai Qing said, sending the three souls in the jade token out. Zhou Qian and a mother and daughter had been in the jade token for many years and should have been sent away long ago.
The three were still a little stunned by Dai Qing's sudden release. But the two phantoms stared at the jade token in Dai Qing's hand, stunned for a moment, and nodded respectfully.
"It turns out to be the envoy."
Dai Qing was stunned when she heard the title. What messenger?
Although she had doubts in her heart, Dai Qing did not ask any more questions and simply pointed at the three and said, "Take them away. I hope they can be reincarnated soon and have a smooth afterlife."
The phantoms looked at each other, whispered a goodbye, waved their hands, and swung out a virtual chain, directly pulling Zhou Qian and the others into the corridor.
Zhou Qian entered the corridor, suddenly turned around to look at her, and gave her a grateful smile, "Thank you."
Dai Qing nodded, and the corridor disappeared in the mist. Everything around her returned to calm. The moment just now seemed like an illusion, making her feel dazed.
Dai Qing opened her eyes and realized that she had been sitting on the sofa, with a layer of cold sweat on her forehead.
I quickly got down to stretch my body, then took a bench and sat in the yard to bask in the sun.
Dai Qing looked down at the jade token in her hand, and she was filled with doubts. This jade token was left by her grandfather, but when the two phantoms saw the jade token, they directly called her a messenger.
Could it be that she inherited her grandfather's legacy and, by the way, his hidden position as well?
While thinking, Dai Qing vaguely remembered that her grandfather seemed to have explained a lot of things to her when she was a child. She didn't understand it at the time, but now thinking back, it should be the so-called responsibilities of an envoy.
Maybe it was because what she did during the day was too outrageous, but when she fell asleep at night, Dai Qing actually dreamed of her grandfather.
The two of them were in a vast expanse of white and foggy space. Grandpa was standing there, giving her a kind smile.
"My child, you finally took this path as fate would have it."
"Grandpa, what are you saying? I don't understand."
"Don't be afraid, don't be anxious, just let it go."
Dai Qing listened to Grandpa's comforting words, and felt relieved. She hurried forward a few steps, trying to get closer to Grandpa. But no matter how hard she tried, she always kept the same distance from Grandpa and couldn't get close at all.
Dai Qing stretched out her hands and immediately burst into tears.
Seeing her like this, Grandpa waved his hands at her with a gentle look.
"You are a pure yin girl with extraordinary talents. Just follow your heart and Grandpa will protect you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Dai Qing found that her grandfather's figure was getting farther and farther away in the mist until it disappeared.
Dai Qing got anxious and sat up suddenly, only to find that she was dreaming. She wiped the sweat from her forehead, turned on the light, leaned against the bed, and recalled the dream just now. The answer vaguely came to her mind.
Since I embarked on the path of metaphysics, I have come to agree with certain things naturally.
In the days that followed, Dai Qing worked hard to practice her skills, hoping that after making some progress, she would dream of her grandfather again and he would help her solve her doubts.
But since then, I have not dreamed about my grandpa, let alone anything else. I just lie down on the bed and sleep till dawn, and the quality of my sleep is excellent.
Dai Qing was a little anxious at first, but she got used to it slowly. Since her grandfather said to let it go, if she pushed too much, it would be counterproductive.
After figuring it out, Dai Qing returned to her previous life.
This morning, just after breakfast, I was basking in the sun in the yard when I heard the phone ringing in the house.
It was Cheng Hao who called and said that the land in the western suburbs of his hometown had been planned by the municipal government and would be demolished within the five-year plan. If he wanted to earn more demolition fees, he could build two more floors.
The document issued by the municipal government clearly stated that if the building is demolished based on its area, only the third floor will be compensated.
The small, shabby house that Dai Qing bought only had one floor.
After receiving the news, Dai Qing packed up a little, sent Xiao Hei to the club and handed him over to Guo Chuan for care. She carried her bag, bought a train ticket, and went straight back to her hometown.
The train speed has been increased, shortening the journey by more than three hours.
It was afternoon when she arrived at the train station in her hometown. Her courtyard was demolished. Dai Qing first found a hotel to stay in, and then contacted Juanzi. That person had lived a happy life since marrying Ding Yong.
Two years after they got married, the couple's canning factory encountered a wave of layoffs, and Juanzi was among the first group to leave.
Ding Yong worked for half a year, but because the factory's performance was not good, he could not get his salary. Before the second batch of layoffs was announced, Ding Yong took the initiative to join the list, and both he and his wife became laid-off employees.
Fortunately, Ding Yong had made preparations in advance and had mature skills in car repair. He was not worried about having no food to eat. Taking advantage of the preferential treatment after being laid off, he saved some money, rented a storefront, and opened a car repair shop.
