There is a hidden power in Gu Zhisang's gaze that makes people convinced.
Although her expression was calm and her eyes were as clear as water, few people could keep up with such a gaze. Ms. Liu felt nervous and guilty after being stared at for only a few seconds.
Although she didn't understand what "reciting ghosts" meant, she could understand the meaning of Gu Zhisang's words.
The metaphysical master in front of her, who was too young and extremely beautiful, said that the reason why her deceased ex-boyfriend Xiao Jiang turned into a ghost and did not leave the world was her own fault.
Ms. Liu retorted in a lost voice: "I didn't! I don't know what you are talking about!"
At this time, the host at the side selected the most frequently asked question from the chaotic comments, and the question that all netizens were most curious about, and asked:
"Sangsang, the 'ghost reading' you are talking about is Mr. Jiang? What does this mean?"
Gu Zhisang glanced at him and explained calmly:
"'Nian ghosts' do not exist in Xia Country's Hundred Ghosts Illustrated Book. They are more of an urban legend. This is because the conditions for the formation of ghosts are harsh and the way they are formed is special. There are very few of them that can exist in the world over the past thousands of years, and almost no one has ever seen them. Even if you see them, it is easy to confuse them with ordinary wronged souls and kill them at will."
When she said this, she seemed to have anticipated the doubts that would be raised by the nitpickers in the comment section, and smiled slightly at the camera:
"I'm talking about people with incompetent abilities, which naturally doesn't include me."
The moment she finished speaking, a new comment popped up: [How did you figure this out when no one has ever seen it? Can you be more awesome than all the masters? ]
The audience in the live broadcast room was dazzled by the rare smile:
[Damn it, this woman is so arrogant and boastful, but I actually believe what she says!]
[So crazy and confident, I like it so much, haha, I've been fed up with all those arguing comments for a long time, if you don't believe in the existence of metaphysics and don't like Sang Sang, then don't come and watch, you have to keep talking and disrupting the atmosphere of the live broadcast! ]
[It's so funny that the anchor predicted the attack from the black fans. 】
Gu Zhisang was unaware of the excitement in the comment section. She gave a general explanation of the "ghost reading" that she had seen in the classics in her previous life.
"To put it simply, the formation of this kind of ghost is more like the 'Word Spirit' that appeared in the previous program. It is different from the 'Word Spirit'. The latter is mostly fabricated by people, but the former is a real ghost."
Gu Zhisang said: "It is a special soul transformed from the strong emotions, language, obsession, etc. of a living person."
The story of a mysterious master was recorded in ancient books.
About 1,300 years ago, a powerful master lost his beloved wife. Looking at his wife's gradually cold body and her soul about to enter reincarnation, his intense grief and reluctance turned into powerful force, which condensed his wife's soul, which should have entered the six reincarnations, into a physical entity and turned it into a ghost that could stay in the human world.
In other words, the formation of this special kind of ghost is not their original intention, but the longing and reluctance of the living are too distorted and strong, forcing them to be detained in the human world and unable to reincarnate.
When Gu Zhisang said this, Ms. Liu looked confused, but her voice continued:
"That man died in the fire trying to save your parents, so you have been in pain and blaming yourself. I can see that you had a very good relationship in the past. If it weren't for this accident, you would have been a perfect match. That's why you were in grief for a long time and couldn't accept this result."
"You have caressed its photo more than once, wishing that time could go back to that night so you could make a new choice, wishing your lover was still by your side."
"What you don't know is that it is actually right next to you at those times."
Ms. Liu burst into tears, shaking her head and muttering, "I, I don't know..."
She never knew that missing the dead could turn into a kind of hurt.
What made her feel even more devastated was that if what Gu Zhisang said was true, then not only had she killed her ex-boyfriend Xiao Jiang, but she had also made it unable to rest in peace and be reincarnated even after death!
Liu looked sad and said with emotion:
"It turns out that it's not Mr. Jiang's ghost that's unwilling to leave, but Ms. Liu's obsession is too deep, forcing it to stay by her side!"
Gu Zhisang: "That's not accurate either."
She stared at the 'mind ghost' beside Ms. Liu and said, "No matter how deep the obsession of an ordinary person is, it is difficult to change the quality of the soul of the dead. Otherwise, the world of the living would be full of 'mind ghosts' now."
After saying this, her eyes turned to Ms. Liu again, "I saw this picture from its soul."
On a blurry drizzling day, Xiao Jiang's body was nailed into the coffin, surrounded by the sobbing of his parents.
Its soul should have returned to the underworld, but it was unable to enter the ghost gate because of its girlfriend's obsession. At the same time, an invisible link was put on its body, and it could only move around its girlfriend.
These days, he could only watch his girlfriend become listless and thinner, watching her curled up in a dim room, stroking his photo over and over again, saying sorry in her dreams...
It felt sad, but there was nothing it could do.
At the funeral, it saw its girlfriend and her parents bowing continuously, and told its parents that it would take on the responsibilities of a widow and support them until the end of their lives.
After the funeral, the girlfriend broke down and cried, and said to her parents with red eyes: "Dad, Mom, I may never be able to fall in love and get married again."
Her parents said anxiously: "I know that our family has let down the Jiang family, but, but you can't sacrifice your whole life!"
She just smiled bitterly and said nothing. Finally, the two old people sighed and slapped their thighs, "Forget it, if you really want to make up your mind, we won't stop you. We can only blame ourselves for doing evil and harming such a good child!"
"…"
It was because of what Ms. Liu said that Xiao Jiang gave up resisting.
If Ms. Liu really becomes alone until the end of her life because of her death, then it does not want to reincarnate. It would rather stay with Ms. Liu silently.
It allowed Ms. Liu's obsession and guilt to snake into its soul like a snake, completely turning it into a "mental ghost". From then on, it could only follow Ms. Liu and become an invisible shadow.
Gu Zhisang sighed softly and said, "I can only say that the final choice was made by it itself, but it overestimated human nature."
Human beings have always been fickle animals, which is very normal and somewhat cruel.
For Xiao Jiang, who has become a "ghost", the only meaning of his existence is Ms. Liu, but Ms. Liu can have many people around her.
She works at a rescue station. The cute cats and dogs cured her depression. Her friends and relatives helped her get through her loneliness. Her boyfriend, who appeared at her side at the right time and was gentle and selfless, also distracted her attention...
Ms. Liu's life goes on, and she has less and less time to miss Xiao Jiang.
As time goes by, the love and pain in her heart will gradually ease. Whenever she thinks of Xiao Jiang, she feels more guilty.
Xiao Jiang was very clear about all these changes, because Ms. Liu's obsession was gradually weakening and it also began to become weak.
It knew clearly that when Ms. Liu completely moved on from the past and entered into marriage with another man, that would be the time when it would disappear silently from this world.
Just like these masters said, all the choices were made by it itself, and Ms. Liu did not force it.
But how can the dead souls who have given everything be unwilling and resigned?
That's why the contestants felt a hint of resentment towards Ms. Liu.
Even if Xiao Jiang made the decision herself, it was Ms. Liu who said she would never get married. Who wouldn't be confused? But she wanted to marry someone else after five years, so it can't be said that she was heartless. Xiao Jiang's transformation into a "ghost" is enough to show that she was really sad at the time.
Neither of them is wrong...]
[Oh my god, this guy is too infatuated. He would give up everything for this girl. But it's a pity that the person he met is too easy to change his heart…]
[This is a mess, it's hard to settle. ]
[From this perspective, what He Mi Tu said before was not wrong. Xiao Jiang's existence was fed by the obsession of the person who asked for help. It was like raising an evil spirit. ]
【……】
Ms. Liu came to the show this time with the intention of bidding farewell to her ex-boyfriend Xiao Jiang and starting a new life.
But now Xiao Jiang's existence is closely related to her, and she doesn't know what to do in the future.
She said in a dull tone, "I understand what the masters mean. This is indeed my own fault. I am sorry for it... Master Gu, is there any way to free it? I can do whatever you want me to do."
Liu at the side couldn't help but say: "Ms. Liu has a lover now, right? If she can't send Mr. Jiang away, doesn't it mean that she has to break up..."
If there is no solution, Ms. Liu is unwilling to break up, and Xiao Jiang ends up alone, then he will lose the nourishment of his obsession and will dissipate.
Now that the incident has been exposed on the Internet, Liu can imagine that if it is the latter, there must be many people who will angrily accuse Ms. Liu of being selfish, cruel, and heartless, etc., and making the savior of his family lose his soul.
But if she is forced not to fall in love or get married because of this, it seems a bit inhumane.
This is the most difficult choice the program has faced in such a long time. Liu can only pray in his heart that Gu Zhisang has a way to send Xiao Jiang away.
Unexpectedly, Gu Zhisang's focus was misplaced.
She looked at Ms. Liu's face and said, "It's good to break up. This boy is not your right one, nor is he your good man."
"He changed his mind a long time ago."
Mr. Liu/Ms. Liu:?!
Ms. Liu looked confused: "How is that possible?"
Gu Zhisang said, "Judging from your current marriage fate, the other party has actually been in love with you for a long time before you did. You and your two boyfriends all knew each other in high school, and they both developed feelings for you at that time."
"It's just that you liked Mr. Jiang at the time, and you didn't even realize that there was another boy who was silently paying attention to you."
My current boyfriend feels somewhat unhappy every day when he sees his good friend laughing and playing with the girl he likes.
When we met again many years later, everything had changed. My former good friend had passed away, and the girl I once loved was now alone.
Because he had liked Ms. Liu very much before, he tolerated her and accepted the impurity of her relationship even though he knew that Ms. Liu had not yet gotten over her previous relationship.
"That's true." Ms. Liu nodded, "He told me that in high school..."
That is why Ms. Liu did not believe what Gu Zhisang said.
She has been in a relationship with her current boyfriend for two years.
During these two years, she had many breakdowns and felt helpless, and her current boyfriend always stayed by her side.
With such meticulous care, Ms. Liu's love gradually shifted from Xiao Jiang to her current boyfriend.
She really wants to end the past and get married to her current boyfriend.
So, when she realized that Xiao Jiang was still by her side, she chose to go on the show to deal with it.
But Gu Zhisang said that such a person who had given so much to her had changed his heart. How could she believe it?
Gu Zhisang said, "You didn't tell him when you came on the show this time."
"Indeed not," Ms. Liu said, "because I have my own concerns."
When Ms. Liu found herself dreaming frequently about Xiao Jiang, she thought about whether to tell her current boyfriend. After hesitating, she chose to keep it secret.
Her relationship with her current boyfriend began with her previous relationship with Xiao Jiang. At the beginning, she only regarded her current boyfriend as a substitute for Xiao Jiang.
This is something that both of them know very well.
In order to make up for the guilt she feels towards her current boyfriend, Ms. Liu can only keep spending money to buy him gifts, which makes her feel better.
Their relationship has gradually warmed up in the past six months, and they are no different from ordinary couples. However, both Ms. Liu and her current boyfriend know that Xiao Jiang in the past and the reason for this relationship have always been a thorn in their hearts.
If I tell my current boyfriend at this time that I always dream about Xiao Jiang, he will definitely think too much.
Ms. Liu smiled bitterly and said, "I admit that I didn't tell him because I didn't want him to think that I was still obsessed with my ex."
She felt extremely uncomfortable when she said this, and had no idea how to face Xiao Jiang beside her, but this was indeed what she really thought.
Gu Zhisang sighed and said, "You should have told him. But it's too late to say anything now. If you don't believe it, you can call him now."
Hearing her say this, Ms. Liu felt an uncontrollable panic in her heart. She comforted herself in her heart, "No," and took out her mobile phone doubtfully and called her current boyfriend.
The phone rang twice before being connected. She took a deep breath and said:
"My dear, I have something to hide from you."
The current boyfriend on the other end of the phone was silent for a while. Ms. Liu Liu could only hear his breathing coming from the receiver. This silence magnified her uneasiness.
She quickly said, "Actually, I'm participating in a metaphysics variety show right now. Don't you know that I haven't been sleeping well recently? So..."
Before Ms. Liu finished her words, her current boyfriend interrupted her: "I know, I saw the show."
Ms. Liu listened to the other party's cold voice, and her heart became even more panicked. She began to think about how to explain:
"I didn't hide it from you on purpose. I just didn't want you to misunderstand me. After all, this matter of gods and ghosts is so mysterious that I don't know how to explain it to you, and I don't know if you will believe me, so I thought of telling you after everything is resolved..."
The man on the other end of the phone sighed and said, "I don't know now which of your words are true and which are false. Two years is too long. I'm really tired."
At this time, he told a story on the phone that happened two months ago.
That night he went out with Ms. Liu and had dinner with some friends.
Ms. Liu drank too much and fell on the table. He wanted to help her up, but Ms. Liu suddenly called out Xiao Jiang's name, crying as she did so.
The friends around him heard it and looked at him with embarrassed and inquiring eyes. At that moment he felt tired and exhausted, as well as deeply humiliated.
When he first started dating Ms. Liu two years ago, her current boyfriend knew about his past with Xiao Jiang, but he thought at the time that as long as he stayed by Ms. Liu's side, he would be able to melt her heart.
Gradually he will feel tired and even impatient.
Sometimes, friends who know the inside story would tease him and say that he is such a saint and a romantic!
Every time these happened, his dissatisfaction and disappointment with Ms. Liu accumulated in his heart, making him gradually become bored with this relationship.
Ms. Liu explained in a panic: "Listen to me, that was when I just started dreaming about him..."
The current boyfriend said impatiently: "Whatever, I don't want to hear your great love story anymore anyway."
"Aren't you on that show now? I know the psychic there is very accurate in fortune telling. She is right. I don't want to be with you anymore. But I don't think I have done anything wrong to you in the past two years. Instead, you used me as a substitute first."
"Let's not make it so ugly, let's break up."
Ms. Liu's eyes widened, as if struck by lightning. But before she could say anything else, the other end of the phone hung up.
Looking at the distraught woman, Gu Zhisang said:
"In fact, you insisted on participating in this program to send it away. It is because you have already noticed that your current lover has changed his heart. You think that the problems between you are just a story of the past, so you want to erase the main body of that story - that is, the existence of the 'Nian Ghost'."
But in fact, the biggest problem with this relationship is that it was not pure from the beginning.
The current boyfriend may have truly liked Ms. Liu at the beginning, but after his love was worn off, it began to deteriorate.
He felt that he had given a lot, and that Ms. Liu treated him as a substitute. Why should he always be the scapegoat?
So he took it for granted that he accepted the gifts from Ms. Liu, spent Ms. Liu's money, and thought it was the compensation he deserved, and even had an ambiguous relationship with other people outside.
On the other hand, Ms. Liu was getting deeper and deeper into the affair, and after discovering something wrong with her lover, she was eager to go on the show to prove herself.
At this point in the team competition, Liu announced the end of it.
"The first half of the group competition in this episode has come to an end. After the competition, our contestants will help Ms. Liu and Xiao Jiang to see if they can resolve the connection between them."
"After a 20-minute break, the second half of the collective game will resume."
[I’m so worried, will Xiao Jiang be able to be liberated? ? ! ]
[Isn't it normal to feel resentful? Who wouldn't feel resentful if they met such an unlucky person...]
Even after the camera was turned off and the live broadcast ended, Ms. Liu was still immersed in her collapse. She covered her face without saying a word and ignored the voices of the staff around her.
Gu Zhisang stood aside with her arms folded, looking at Xiao Jiang beside her and said:
"It's like this now, what's there to be nostalgic about? She doesn't love you anymore."
Behind the woman's thin body, there was a transparent soul with a sad look.
Xiao Jiang, who had become a "mumbling ghost", felt very unwilling.
When it sees that his girlfriend, who shared the same yin and yang with him, has someone else around her;
When it gave up reincarnation and became a ghost that was no longer a ghost, it could only follow its girlfriend. However, because his girlfriend no longer needed him, it became weak and almost died...
It has resentment towards Ms. Liu and does not want to be abandoned.
At the same time, it also discovered that Ms. Liu’s current boyfriend is not a good man and he no longer loves Ms. Liu deeply. If Ms. Liu marries such a man, she will definitely regret it in the future.
The love in Xiao Jiang's heart overwhelmed his resentment. He tried hard to use his meager strength to enter the dream, trying to obstruct and remind Ms. Liu.
But it forgot one thing: it was no longer needed.
Its reminder has also become an unnecessary entanglement.
Gu Zhisang said indifferently, "You still don't want to leave? If you lose all your last bit of merit, forget about returning to the underworld."
After saying this, it took a long time for Xiao Jiang to shift his gaze to Gu Zhisang. The stubbornness and resentment in his body dissipated a lot, and he regained some of his consciousness.
It revealed its true appearance, its soul becoming slightly more solid, revealing a young man with burn marks on his skin, wearing a firefighter's uniform that was dirty from the fire.
There was a little more clarity in its eyes as it stared at the back of its former lover.
Gu Zhisang: "Still reluctant?"
Xiao Jiang shook his head and uttered with difficulty: "...Help, help me."
Gu Zhisang raised his eyebrows slightly: "I haven't saved the 'Nian ghost' yet, I really don't know if it will succeed, don't hold out any hope."
Xiao Jiang said nothing, and couldn't say anything, so he just bowed in her direction.
Ten minutes later, Gu Zhisang successfully saved it.
However, it voluntarily turned into a 'ghost' and stayed in the human world, which was a violation of the rules of the underworld. If it had not put out many fires and saved other people's lives in its previous life, and had not had considerable merit and power, it would have lost the qualification to reincarnate even if it could barely go back.
Now this result is a blessing in disguise.
After the 20-minute break, the camera in the live broadcast room was turned on again, and many viewers flocked in, and the number of people continued to increase.
Liu said while holding the teleprompter: "After the first group competition, do the audience have their minds set on the top five Xuanshi? And which Xuanshi is currently lagging behind in everyone's mind?"
"The second half of the group competition will begin. I hope the contestants can bring us new surprises. Now, please welcome the second helper!"
"Before we start the live broadcast, I want to tell you that this person seeking help is very special. Her request on our show is different from all the previous requests for help..."
The author has something to say:
① Once again, I reiterate that the heroine only reveals the truth of the incident (the ex-boyfriend exists and the current boyfriend is cheating). I have said in the previous speech that any opinions and comments on the incident can be posted freely, and everyone has their own thoughts.
This is exactly what is meant by the fact that there are often opposing views in the comments in the article.
② Sangsang is detached from the event from beginning to end. Unless it is a purely evil person or evil thing that she hates, she will not have much empathy with the person seeking help. Don't label her or think that she is biased towards one side just because her expression is described as “cold”.
Thank you for your understanding
