"That shouldn't be the case. Taotao can't see those things."
Fu Lanyue shook her head and refuted Gu Zhisang's words.
Her husband, Mr. Xu, who was beside her, also said that their daughter had never told them that she could see ghosts, and that she behaved like an ordinary child.
"There must be a reason why she can't see nature." Gu Zhisang said.
She did not continue with this topic, but changed the subject and looked at Fu Lanyue again and said:
"You have raised evil creatures for a long time. They shouldn't be from Xia Country, right?"
Gu Zhisang couldn't tell what Fu Lanyue was raising because she had never seen a 'Gumantong'.
But she could infer from the remaining yin energy that the method of creating that evil spirit was different from the traditional baby ghosts and little ghosts of the Xia Kingdom.
Like the baby ghost that Qian Zheng had raised before, its soul had been distorted. No matter how many years had passed or how much life it had devoured, it would only maintain the form of a baby, and the only thing that would grow was its size.
The 'Gumantong' raised by Fu Lanyue is different.
The soul trapped in the storage object can grow.
Both Fu Lanyue and her daughter Taotao have said that they dreamed of a girl who looked to be in her teens.
Because of this difference, Gu Zhisang was quite interested in this evil creature and even wanted to catch one to study it.
She looked at Fu Lanyue's face and said slowly:
"You are thirty-three years old this year. I don't need to talk about your past. Ten years ago, you married the man next to you and gave birth to a daughter who is now seven years old."
"From your facial features and palace positions, your longevity position is bulging, supporting the trend of your entire nose, which means that you are very career-oriented and manage your career very well. But your root of the nose is shrouded in a cloud of yin energy, which also means that the reason you are contaminated with those things is also for your career and wealth."
Fu Lanyue had nothing to say, because Gu Zhisang was right.
It was indeed because she ran a beauty salon that she took the risk of raising a Kumantong.
Gu Zhisang continued, "Besides that, there is something strange about your face. Normally, you only have a daughter. But I see another vague kinship line."
The reason why the kinship line is strange is that it is foggy and looks like it could be blown away by the wind at any time.
"Do you know what this means?" Gu Zhisang was also a little surprised and said:
"This means that the evil spirit really regards you as its mother. It seems that you have taken great care in raising it."
When Fu Lanyue was in a trance, Gu Zhisang stepped forward and put his hand on her shoulder.
She slowly closed her eyes, allowing the invisible evil energy to penetrate her skin. The next moment, she recalled some fragments of her past memories.
It belongs to that 'Kumanthong'.
As long as it can remember, it clearly knew that it was abandoned by its mother. Its biological mother was a Thai woman who sold it to a Thai wizard for a large sum of money when it was just born.
Then it suffered all kinds of hardships and was compressed into a tiny clay doll.
After several twists and turns, it was given to a young woman.
At the beginning, it was dissatisfied and even appeared in dreams to scare the other party, but the woman still offered her good sacrifices every day, and over time its attitude softened.
What the woman wants is not excessive. It just wants a lot of money, which is not a difficult thing for her.
It clearly remembered that when the woman made a big profit for the first time, she was so excited that she picked up her clay sculpture from the altar and kissed it twice. At that moment, it felt the embrace of its mother for the first time in a long time.
The next day, when the woman came home, she bought some clothes for the doll and kept saying:
"When I have money, I can go to a doll shop and ask them to make custom clothes for you..."
'Mom will take good care of you.'
It was at that time that the Kumantong called her "Mom" in his heart.
Later, the woman's business grew, and she fell in love and got married.
At first her husband couldn't accept her existence, but the woman convinced him and told herself that she would have a 'father' in the future.
They actually made small clothes for it that looked like clay dolls, and every time they ate, they would put a small bowl and spoon at the table so it knew that was its place.
It felt that it had integrated into this family and was very happy.
Later, 'Mom' became pregnant.
She would caress her belly with a loving face, sing lullabies to the fetus in her belly, and do prenatal education.
The 'Gumantong' felt a little lost because this kind of care was something it would never receive, and it was clearly aware that it was different from other human children.
But one day, 'Mother' stood in front of it and said in a gentle voice:
"I had an ultrasound today. You will have a new sister from now on. Please protect her well."
The younger sister was born, a soft little baby, whose body was soft unlike its hard clay body, and who could cry unlike its stiff and silent smile all year round;
She occupied more and more of 'Mom's' attention.
Since she was born, 'Mom' has never called her 'baby' again, nor has she had time to make small clothes for her. She often forgets to prepare a small bowl for her...
Gradually, it seemed as if there was no place for it in the house because its mother had other babies.
It's really jealous.
…
Gu Zhisang, who suddenly opened his eyes from the flashback, frowned slightly and calmed his slightly fluctuating emotions.
She said to Lan Yue: "Your daughter was born after midnight, right?"
Fu Lanyue nodded: "Yes, Taotao was born at a little after one o'clock."
When she gave birth to her daughter, she went to the hospital at around seven in the afternoon, but she suffered a difficult labor and was not born until midnight.
Gu Zhisang said, "That's right. When the midnight hour comes, the ghost gate opens and the Yin energy is strong. She was born at that time with a weak horoscope and a Yin constitution. She was also born with a mole on her left index finger, which gave her a psychic constitution. She must have been very weak when she was born, so she could always see ghosts."
"Think about it carefully again."
Xu Sheng, who was standing by, thought for a long time before speaking, "So, Taotao was indeed prone to illness when she was young, and she would often laugh inexplicably while lying in the baby's bed, or start crying while sleeping..."
At that time, my wife and I were worried about our daughter's health, and we would get up in the middle of the night if we heard any noise.
When they first heard their daughter crying, they thought she was hungry or had diarrhea, but not long after they picked her up, she fell asleep with tears in her eyes, and her diaper was dry.
But this situation only occurred in the first six months after Taotao was born. They didn't know when their daughter's crying and laughing for no reason decreased and then disappeared.
They always thought that it was because Taotao was born in poor health.
Gu Zhisang nodded and said:
"Not only could she see at that time, but because of her special physique, she was easily provoked by wandering ghosts. For those wandering ghosts, your daughter was a very suitable body to possess."
"Her body is weak and she is often sick. In fact, it is not pathological, but there are ghosts lingering around her all year round, causing her body's yang energy to continue to decline."
Hearing this, Mr. Xu and Fu Lanyue both turned pale.
“How, how could this happen?!”
"That is indeed the case." Gu Zhisang said coldly, "Why do you think your daughter's yang energy is weak and her body is a little frail over the years, given her physical condition?"
The couple was stunned, and an idea came into their minds.
"It's because the evil spirit you raised, Ms. Fu, treated you as family, so it has been protecting your daughter as you wished, preventing those wandering ghosts from occupying her body."
I'm afraid Fu Lanyue herself has forgotten what she casually said when she was pregnant: "You have to protect your sister."
But the 'Kumanthong' is always kept in my heart.
After all, it is an evil spirit with the mentality of only a few years old. From the beginning to the end, it disliked this sister who took away Fu Lanyue's attention. It was jealous and envious of Taotao, but went against its nature because of Fu Lanyue's words.
As the couple looked stunned, Gu Zhisang continued:
"The reason your daughter fell seriously ill is essentially because you sent away the evil object that was protecting the house. Those wandering spirits took advantage of the opportunity and robbed your daughter's body day and night."
That’s why Taotao suffers from major and minor illnesses all the time, and her health is getting worse and worse.
How can you be healthy if your soul is unstable and is in danger of being driven away by wandering ghosts at any time?
Especially at night when the yin energy is heavy, Taotao dreams of those strange aunts with long tongues, scary uncles, and children with blue faces and wet bodies... They are all wandering souls that squeeze into her body and snatch her body!
Gu Zhisang: "Even though you broke your promise and sent it away, it still didn't leave, but stayed in your home. Every night when your daughter's soul was about to be squeezed away, it was it that drove away those wandering souls in her nightmares."
"You should be thankful that your daughter didn't lose her soul and fall into a coma."
After Gu Zhisang finished speaking, the whole audience was in an uproar.
This was completely different from what they initially thought of as Kumantong's revenge, and even reversed their perception.
Seeing the doubts in the comments section, Liu also asked: "Excuse me, Sangsang, how did you know that thing was protecting Taotao? The previous contestants didn't see this."
"The Yin energy is mixed and chaotic. It is obviously not an illness that happened in one day, nor is it a collision with a ghost." Gu Zhisang said, with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
"Isn't this hard to see?"
Liu/audience: …
There is someone who has been touched!
At this moment, Fu Lanyue couldn't hold it in any longer. She choked up and said, "Why didn't it tell me this?!"
The 'child' that I could only see in my dream had a resentful expression, but I had never heard it explain, so I mistakenly thought that it was hurting Taotao.
Gu Zhisang said calmly, "It has lost its habitat and almost disappeared. The only reason it can stay in your house is because of its obsession. In this situation, it can only sleep and cannot communicate with you."
Fu Lanyue's eyes widened in disbelief, "What do you mean by 'vanished into thin air'? I found a good family to send it away, and gave that family 50,000 yuan, and they promised to treat it well!"
It was difficult to send the Kumantong away from home. She had deep feelings for the thing she had raised for more than ten years. She paid out of her own pocket and found a family that promised to take good care of it.
The family claimed that they had been married for several years but had not been able to conceive successfully, so they wanted to raise a "spiritual creature" to have a child.
She also gave numerous instructions and performed rituals for the Guman for three whole days before allowing the other party to take him away.
But Gu Zhisang said that the child's body was destroyed? !
Gu Zhisang curled the corners of his lips and said, "Then you have to ask Mr. Xu's mother."
The program team invited Xu's mother to come on stage. As soon as she showed up, Fu Lanyue looked anxious and asked, "Mom, what on earth did you do?!"
Xu's mother felt a little guilty, "What did I do? I didn't do anything."
Seeing that she was stubborn and refused to admit it, Gu Zhisang revealed everything she had done:
"Ms. Fu, why do you think it was such a coincidence that not long after you sent the evil spirit away, a family came to your door with sincerity to take it away? In fact, that family was arranged by Mr. Xu's mother. They were just a sting, just to get that thing out of the house as soon as possible."
"As soon as you handed it over to them, Ms. Fu, the original body was burned by Mr. Xu's mother. There is still a trace of burnt smell on the old lady's body."
Mrs. Xu had no confidence to begin with, but now that what she had done had been exposed, she started to shout with even more confidence:
"What's wrong with me burning it? I just hired someone to trick her, so what? I'm doing this for the good of my son and granddaughter! Who knows if she'll bring that evil thing back home in the future? Only by burning it can it be cleaned up!"
Fu Lanyue's face was pale, her lips were trembling with anger, and she said in a sharp voice: "How could you do that?!"
"You have the nerve to make these things, why can't I burn them? I should burn them!"
Xu Sheng didn't expect that his mother actually cheated on his wife. He couldn't help but angrily said, "Mom, you're really going too far. Lan Yue said she would send her away! And what about the 50,000 yuan? Did you take it?"
Xu's mother: "Well, I did it for your and Taotao's sake, but now I'm the one who is in trouble and has become a sinner. I'm going to find a pillar and kill myself to apologize to your wife!"
"I'm still your mother. Are you going to blame me for a little money?"
"Mom, this is different! I didn't say I don't respect you, but the nature of this money is different because Lan Yue used it to do things. How could you take it quietly?"
On one side was his devastated wife, and on the other side was his unreasonable mother. Xu Sheng's face turned red.
Seeing the chaos at the filming location outside, the directors were stunned and had a headache.
It was the first time they saw an old man who was so noisy even though he knew he was in front of the camera, so they had no choice but to go forward and comfort him.
The audience in the live broadcast room were also shocked:
[I was shocked. It felt like no one had done anything wrong, but it seemed like everyone was a little wrong... Only the Kumantong was the worst.]
[The mother-in-law is standing in front. Seeing this, I think the mother-in-law has some problems. She knew that the thing had been kept by her daughter-in-law for ten years, but she still tricked her out and burned it, and also took away 50,000 yuan from her daughter-in-law! ]
[I only care about what will happen to that Kumantong. Its body must have been burned and it must be seriously injured. It is still silently protecting Taotao. It is really pitiful. ]
【……】
During the quarrel, Gu Zhisang hid away out of boredom.
She leaned closer to the staff's phone screen and saw the comments on the screen that were full of people expressing their sympathy for the Kumantong. She spoke slowly:
"That's not necessary. Even though it still has a conscience and hasn't done evil, it doesn't mean it's completely harmless."
In her past recall, she saw that the 'Gumantong' would deliberately trip her up because he was jealous of Taotao for stealing Fu Lanyue's attention.
For example, he would make her fall, press on her chest to scare her when she was sleeping at night, or sometimes enter Taotao's body to feel Fu Lanyue's embrace...
It was not murderous, but more like a fight between children.
In fact, deep down in its heart, it had the idea of snatching Taotao's body.
It would continue to stay in Fu Lanyue's home and hide in Taotao's body, not only to protect Taotao, but also because it had resentment towards this family and was unwilling to leave, and was unwilling to let Taotao's body be occupied by other wandering ghosts...
Fortunately, it still remembered the feelings of those ten years in its heart, so it did not really do anything to Taotao and make a big mistake, and it also left room for itself to reincarnate.
After finally calming down the desperate old lady Xu, the program team quickly announced the end of the first help-seeking contest.
Afterwards, Gu Zhisang extracted the soul fragment of the "Gumantong" from Taotao's body and put it away, intending to see if he could reincarnate it after the game.
She also helped Taotao block her spiritual perception so that her special physique would not be leaked.
Taotao's health will gradually get better, and she will no longer attract those wandering ghosts.
As for the rest of the matters, let the Xu family leave and go home to discuss them in detail.
Da Liu wiped the sweat off his forehead and said with a wry smile:
"Dear audience friends, the first group match has ended successfully. We will take a 20-minute break and start the next match immediately!"
