Before the siblings could say anything, the host Liu Xiaoming's eyes widened: "Can we meet if we want? Now?"
Gu Zhisang nodded and said, "The old man has been staying in the human world since his death, but he didn't have any obsessions when he was alive, and his power as a ghost after death is average. It must have consumed a lot of energy to fight the water ghost. Now he should be secretly observing this side in a shady place nearby."
"If the two of you who are seeking help have this wish, I can summon it for you to meet."
Da Liu shuddered and couldn't help but look around.
He suddenly felt that the shadows swaying in the shade of the trees in the distance looked very much like his great-grandfather's lurking ghost.
Sister Xiaoxi looked at her brother beside her and said, "What do you think?"
After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Cheng pursed his lips and shook his head firmly, "I don't want to see it anymore."
"Things have come to this point. What difference does it make whether we meet or not? I am grateful to the old man for protecting me. I apologize for my mistakes, but the pain and suffering that my sister and I have experienced over the past decade cannot be resolved with just a few words."
"I will never forgive those so-called relatives for what they did!"
Gu Zhisang raised his eyebrows and said, "Okay, I think the old man should be able to hear what you said. In this case, I will help you get rid of the dark stain on your body. You just need to get more sun in the next few days."
"In fact, you don't need to let the suffering that has passed become a wound that cannot be healed. Karma will always pay off, and your future life will be smooth sailing."
Judging from their facial features, the brother and sister did not give up on themselves after experiencing hardships in their childhood. On the contrary, they are more mature than their peers and are more down-to-earth and able to endure hardships.
Later on, they will get better and better with their own abilities, and their emotions and careers will be good.
As for those evil relatives who take advantage of other people’s wealth, slander and insult others, and ruin their future, it is difficult to discern their fortunes during their lifetime, but after they die and appear before the King of Hell, their merits and demerits will definitely be carefully judged.
In the mildest case, one may not be able to reincarnate for a hundred years or be reborn as an animal in the next life. In the worst case, one may be sent to the eighteen levels of hell and suffer torture.
The brother and sister thanked Gu Zhisang again. Xiaoxi said, "Thank you, Master Gu, for telling me what this kid did. Otherwise, I'm really afraid that he will grow up crooked and go astray!"
Xiao Cheng said awkwardly: "I know I was wrong, sister. I was really hot-headed at the moment. Isn't this a special situation..."
He also bowed to Gu Zhisang honestly, "Thank you, Master Gu."
This is the end of the request for help. The brother and sister are very satisfied with the trip.
Liu's face was filled with emotion as he read out the closing words to the live camera:
"Dear audience friends, the second help match has come to a successful conclusion, and it's time to say goodbye to everyone in this live broadcast. After a day of live assessment, the true level of each contestant was presented in front of the camera. The program team did not make any edits. I believe everyone has their own candidate in mind."
He invited the remaining contestants to come up, and everyone stood in a row waiting for the voting results to be fed backstage.
A few minutes later, a staff member handed over an envelope.
Liu held it in his hand and said, "After a fierce voting session, we have counted more than six million votes from the audience. The specific number of votes for each contestant is announced on the official WeChat account of the program team. There is no fraud. Adding the points of each contestant in this episode and the judgment of the director team, the list of those who were eliminated this time is in my hands."
After keeping the secret for a while, Liu announced the final result.
"After comprehensive voting, our contestant No. 3: Old Monk ranked last and will regrettably leave the subsequent filming of our "Spiritual Matters"."
Xu Fu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that he was not on the list of eliminated candidates.
But the few contestants who were awake in Poshi Village at that time and saw with their own eyes the ascetic monk using blood to lure out the poisonous insects knew that it was not that he was incapable, but that he was not good at this way of competition.
After being eliminated, the old monk did not feel disappointed or dissatisfied. He clasped his hands together, smiled and bowed to each contestant and said goodbye.
"I have gained a lot from this trip. Thank you very much."
[I really like the monk grandfather. He has a kind face and is very gentle. I am reluctant to see him leave.]
[When he first came on stage, I thought he would be the best, but I didn't expect him to have any outstanding moments. I think Buddhists are at a disadvantage in these aspects.]
[Why don't you eliminate No. 8? He's obviously a big nerd... He calls the siblings lovers, he's obviously a charlatan! ]
【……】
Amid the bustling crowd of viewers in the live broadcast room, the camera was completely turned off.
Soon the entries on the platform's hot searches were updated again, and the front row was occupied by content related to this show.
In the second half, some information about the siblings and their relatives from their hometown were dug out.
My sister Xiaoxi just graduated from a certain university this year and is now interning in a large company.
Some people from the same village also made comments, confirming that the two children were indeed orphans and that they were indeed quite pitiful when they were in the village.
Taking advantage of this popularity, the ex-wife of one of their uncles came out to accuse her ex-husband of cheating on her during marriage, embezzling money, misappropriating the inheritance of nephews and nieces, etc. She also revealed how her ex-husband and his brothers' families treated Xiaoxi and Xiaocheng.
She even wrote:
'It's considered good to adopt a brother's child to an old bachelor as his son. Some people are worse than beasts and even want to sell the child, saying that they want to sell the boy to a rich family while he is still young and can't remember much, which is also good for the child. Bah! If my ex-parents-in-law hadn't stopped it with some humanity, I don't know what would happen now! '
This blog post attracted widespread attention.
Netizens were discussing the siblings' original families and whether the younger brother's behavior was wrong.
In any case, in their hometown in your province, Xiaoxi and Xiaocheng's uncles and aunts have a bad reputation.
When the villagers saw the news, they told each other and talked about it, saying that these elders and relatives were really dark-hearted!
In the evening, the doors of several tiled houses not far from each other in the east of the village were closed, and a group of middle-aged men with sullen faces gathered in the yard.
A woman slapped her thigh and cried, "I don't want to live any longer. I arranged a great marriage for my niece with good intentions, so that she could enjoy a happy life after marriage. But now I have become a wicked aunt! Listen to what those gossipy women in the village say. I am so wronged!"
Another man snorted coldly, "Second sister-in-law, what you said is nothing. I am a grown man and now I am being scolded by people on the Internet. Those two bastards are too cruel to make up such nonsense. If I were really a bad person, I would have starved them to death long ago!"
"My son also called me and said that people on the Internet had dug up information about him. He scolded me severely and told me that this matter cannot be let go!"
"That's right. Since those two kids are ruthless and want to force us to death, why should we show them mercy? We will go to the county public security bureau tomorrow to report it to the police! We will accuse that kid of theft and put him in jail!"
The woman hesitated: "Don't... didn't you hear that guru on the Internet tell them to call the police and sue us for accepting bribes and shielding a criminal?"
Her husband cursed, "What do you know, stupid woman! It happened more than ten years ago and the cameras on that road section are long gone. The factory owner has disappeared long ago. Who has evidence to prove that the money was collected? The old man is dead, and no one can prove that we took the money."
"I heard that a case like this from more than a decade ago can't be investigated if it's been delayed for fifteen or twenty years. Are you still afraid of those two little bastards?"
Several relatives were basically convinced, but some still hesitated and said:
"But didn't you see what the master on the show said? Our grandfather sided with that kid. Why don't we just forget it? We didn't behave decently back then, and it will be hard to explain to our brother and sister-in-law when we meet in the future."
"Old Third, your brain must have been stuck in the door. Those things on the Internet are obviously staged. Those ghosts and spirits are all bullshit! I'm waiting here. Let's see who dares to come and take revenge!"
“…”
The group of people who had decided to call the police agreed to go to the county police station early the next morning.
They slept soundly in their house that night.
The middle-aged man who had shouted the loudest in the afternoon tossed and turned, and in a half-awake and half-asleep state he always felt as if something heavy was pressing on his chest.
As soon as he opened his eyes in his dream, he saw a gaunt, grim old man staring at him in the distance;
It’s the dead grandpa!
“Master…”
"Who do you want to sue, Old Four? As an uncle, are you really not afraid of dying and going to the underworld to face your ancestors?" The old man said, pointing behind him, "Look who's looking for you."
The man was horrified and when he turned around suddenly, he came face to face with a young couple, who frightened him so much that he screamed.
The couple's faces were pale, their eyes were blue, and they were filled with anger: "My dear fourth brother, is this how you treat my child? If the show hadn't been broadcast, my husband and I wouldn't have known!"
"How are you going to pay back what you owe your children?!"
As they spoke, blood began to flow from their seven orifices, and their limbs began to twist as if they were about to die, and they were about to pounce on and tear you apart.
The man was completely terrified. He trembled in his dream, holding his head and crying, "I was wrong, brother and sister-in-law. I am not a human being! I am worse than pigs and dogs! I am ashamed of my nephews and nieces. I am willing to compensate them. Please forgive me!"
After a lot of torture, he woke up from his dream covered in cold sweat.
At the same time, the same scene was happening in several other houses.
The next morning, the news that the brothers had all been possessed by evil spirits and sleep paralyzed by ghosts spread throughout the village.
Many nearby villagers heard screams for mercy coming from the brothers' home in the middle of the night, asking their dead brother and sister-in-law to let them go.
This time, the families looked pale and dared not say anything.
They were afraid that if they mistreat their nephews and nieces again, their brother and sister-in-law from the underworld would really come up to claim their lives, so they could only start discussing with pale faces how each family should raise money for compensation.
In a rental house in a city
The brother and sister got up early in the morning and felt warm in their hearts when they saw the encouragement and private messages sent by countless netizens on their mobile phones.
Sister Xiaoxi suddenly said in surprise: "I passed the internship! I can be a full-time employee next month. Oh my god, this is a Fortune 500 company!!"
Xiao Cheng also had a smile on his face, "I also encountered good things, sister. I dreamed about our parents last night."
"I dreamed about it too!" Xiaoxi was stunned and asked, "You didn't dream about your great-grandfather as well, did you?"
Only then did they realize that they had two similar dreams last night.
One was a dream about my deceased parents, and the other was a dream about my great-grandfather who looked guilty and apologized to them.
This obviously cannot be a coincidence.
Xiaoxi: "...My great grandfather told me that it asked my uncle and aunt to give us the old house and also give us compensation."
Xiao Cheng nodded: "It also said that after we get the house, it asked us to go dig the soil under the crooked tree at the back of the yard, saying that there were two little goldfish buried in the soil."
The brother and sister looked at each other in silence, not knowing what to say for a moment.
——
The next day, Gu Zhisang, who had returned to Rongcheng from the filming location, came to the crew of "Floating Sea Legend".
After these events, she gained some merit and power, and her bad luck was almost eliminated, and her soul became more compatible with this body.
Now, even without the talisman to cover it up, there was no longer a faint gray aura covering her brow.
The system was surprised to find that it could no longer feel the pull of the "plot line" on Gu Zhisang.
In just such a short period of time, Gu Zhisang managed to break away from the control of the plot on his own.
It fell into a brief period of autism, thinking, "I am such a useless little thing."
Because his qi was restored and his body recovered quickly, the scar on Gu Zhisang's forehead had completely disappeared. Except for that patch of skin that felt delicate to the touch, there was no trace of the scar visible to the naked eye.
From the screenshots of the live broadcast of "Spiritual Matters", it can be seen that she is in good condition. The director of "Floating Sea Legend" Liu Jin sent her a message and asked her to take the final makeup photo of the fourth female Yu Jing today...
The author has something to say:
Today I will briefly walk through the plot, and tomorrow I will update with 10,000 words to start a new story~
