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.
这还是节目这么长时间以来面临的最令人纠结的选择，大刘只能在心中祈祷顾之桑有办法送走小蒋了。
谁知顾之桑的关注点却歪了。
她端详了两眼柳女士的面相，说了一句：“分手也挺好的，现在这个男生不是你的正缘，也并非良人。”
“他早就变心了。”
大刘/柳女士：？！
柳女士神情茫然：“怎么可能？”
顾之桑说道：“从你现在的姻缘线来看，其实对方比你早很长时间就开始单恋你了，你和你的这两任男朋友都是在高中的时候就认识了，并且他们俩对你的好感也都在那时便萌生了。”
“只是你当时喜欢蒋先生，根本就没发现还有一个男生在默默关注你。”
现男友每天看着好朋友和喜欢的女生嬉笑打闹，心中多少不高兴。
多年之后再见面已经物是人非，曾经的好友早已去世，而心动过的女生孤身一人。
因他以前就很喜欢柳女士，所以才明知道柳女士没有从上一段感情中走出来，还包容她、接受她这份感情的不纯。
“确实是这样的。”柳女士点点头，“他和我说过高中的时候就……”
正因如此柳女士对顾之桑话并不相信。
她和现男友的感情已经维持了整整两年。
在这两年期间她有很多次崩溃、无助的时候都是现男友陪伴在她的身边。
在这样无微不至的关怀下，柳女士心中的爱意逐渐从小蒋转移到了现男友身上。
她是真的想结束过往，和现男友步入婚姻。
所以，当她意识到小蒋还停留在自己的身边时，她才会选择上节目处理。
可顾之桑却说这样一个为她付出良多的人已经变心了，这让她怎么相信？
顾之桑说：“你这次来上节目并没有告诉他吧。”
“的确没有。”柳女士说：“因为我有自己的顾虑。”
当柳女士发现自己频繁做梦、梦到小蒋时，她有想过要不要告诉现男友，犹豫之后她选择了隐瞒。
她和现男友的感情始于和小蒋的上一段关系，最开始的时候，她只把现男友当成小蒋的替身。
这是两人心知肚明的事情。
为了弥补自己心中对现男友的愧疚，柳女士只能不断地给他花钱买礼物，这样能让她心里好受些。
最近半年他们的感情逐渐升温，平时和普通情侣没什么两样，但柳女士和现男友都清楚，过去的小蒋和这段感情开始的原因始终都是两人心中的一根刺。
这个时候如果自己和现男友说，自己总是梦到小蒋，肯定会让对方多想。
柳女士苦笑着说：“我承认我不告诉他，是因为我不想让他以为我还对前任念念不忘。”
说这句话的时候她心中格外难受，根本不知道该如何面对自己身边的小蒋，但这确实是她的心里话。
顾之桑叹了口气说道：“你应该告诉他的。不过现在说什么都晚了，你要是不相信的话可以现在就给他打个电话。”
听她这么说，柳女士的心中浮现出难以抑制的恐慌，她在心中安慰自己‘不会的’，将信将疑地掏出手机拨通了现男友的电话。
电话响了两下被接通，她呼吸一紧说道：
“亲爱的，我有件事情瞒着你了。”
电话那头的现男友沉默不语一时间，刘柳女士只能听到对方的呼吸声从听筒中传递而来，这种安静更放大了她心中的不安。
她连忙说道：“其实我现在在参加玄学综艺节目，你不是知道我这段时间睡眠不太好吗？所以……”
柳女士话还没说完，那头的现男友便出声打断了她：“我知道，我看到节目了。”
柳女士听着对方冷漠的声音，心里更慌了，开始思索如何解释：
“我不是故意瞒着你的，我是不想让你误会，毕竟这种神鬼之事玄之又玄我不知道怎么和你解释，也不知道你会不会相信我，所以我才想着等事情都解决了再告诉你……”
电话那头的男人叹了口气说道：“我现在都不知道你说的哪句话是真哪句话是假了，两年的时间太久，我真的累了。”
这时，他在电话中讲出了一件两个月前发生的事情。
那天晚上他和柳女士一起外出，同几个朋友一起吃饭。
柳女士喝多了酒趴在桌子上，他本来想去搀扶，结果柳女士忽然喊起了小蒋的名字，一边喊一边哭。
周围的朋友们都听到了，纷纷用尴尬而探究的眼神看着他，那一刻他觉得又心累又疲惫，同时还有种深深的羞辱感。
两年前刚开始和柳女士在一起的时候，现男友知道他和小蒋过去的故事，但他那时候认为，只要自己一直陪伴在柳女士的身边就一定能够融化她的心。
渐渐地他也会感到疲惫，甚至会觉得不耐烦。
有时身边知道内情的朋友们，还会用调侃的语气说他真是个大圣人！大情种！
每当这些时候，他心中对柳女士的不满和失望就愈发积累，让他逐渐对这段感情产生了厌烦。
柳女士慌张解释道：“你听我和你解释，那个时候正好是我刚开始梦到他的时候……”
现男友不耐说道：“随便吧，反正我现在不想再听到你们俩的伟大爱情故事了。”
“你现在不就在那个节目上吗？我知道那边的灵媒算命特别准，她说的没错，我不想和你在一起了。但我自认为这两年没什么对不起你的地方，反而是你先把我当替身的。”
“咱们也别闹得那么难看，分手吧。”
柳女士瞪大眼睛，如晴天霹雳，可还不等她继续再说点什么，那头就已经挂断了电话。
看着失魂落魄的女人，顾之桑开口说道：
“其实你非要来参加这个节目把它送走，又何尝不是已经察觉到了现在的恋人变心了，你以为你们之间的问题只是过去的故事，所以你想要抹除那个故事的主体——也就是‘念鬼’它的存在。”
但实际上这段感情最大的问题，在于一开始的时候就不单纯。
现男友或许一开始的时候是真心喜欢柳女士，但这些喜欢被消磨后，就开始变质了。
他觉得自己付出良多，又觉得柳女士都把自己当成替身备胎了，自己凭什么就要一直当冤大头？
所以他理所应当地收着柳女士送的礼物，花着柳女士的钱认为这是自己应该得的补偿，甚至在外面和其他人有了暧昧。
而另一边的柳女士因为越陷越深，在发现了恋人的一些不对劲后，急于上节目证明自己。
本场集体赛到了这里，大刘便宣布结束。
“本期节目上半场集体赛告一段落，赛后我们的选手们会帮助柳女士和小蒋，看看能否解决他们身上的连接。”
“中场休息20分钟后，下半场集体赛再开播。”
【好担心啊小蒋不会没法超度吧？？！】
【有怨气不是很正常么，碰上这种倒霉对象谁还没有点怨气了……】
直到摄像头关闭、结束了直播拍摄，柳女士还沉浸在崩溃当中，一言不发地捂着脸，对周围工作人员的声音都置之不理。
顾之桑站在一旁抱着双臂，看向她身边的小蒋道：
“都这个样子了还有什么可留恋的，她已经不爱你了。”
在女人单薄的身躯之后，透明的魂魄目光哀伤。
变成了‘念鬼’的小蒋心中多有不甘。
当它看到和自己共许阴阳的女友身边逐渐有了别人；
当它放弃了转世投胎、变得鬼不像鬼只能跟在女友身边，可却因为女友不再需要自己而变得虚弱，快要魂飞魄散……
它对柳女士是有怨气的，也不想被抛弃。
同时它也发现了柳女士的现男友并非良人，他不再深爱柳女士了，如果柳女士和这样的人结婚了以后一定会后悔。
小蒋内心的爱意压过了怨恨，它努力地用自己微薄的力量入梦，试图阻挠、提醒柳女士。
可它却忘了一件事，自己早就不被需要了。
它的提醒也变成了多余的纠缠。
顾之桑语气淡淡，“还不愿意走么，你最后一点功德要是都没了，就彻底别想回地府了。”
这话之后，过了许久小蒋才将目光挪到了顾之桑的身上，身上的执拗和不甘怨气散了许多，恢复了部分神志。
它露出了原本的面貌，灵魂变得稍微凝实了些，是一个皮肤上有烧伤痕迹、穿着被火熏得脏兮兮的消防员服的青年人。
它目光中多了几分清澈，定定看着曾经的恋人的背影。
顾之桑：“还是舍不得？”
小蒋摇了摇头，艰难吐出一句：“……帮、帮我。”
顾之桑微微挑眉：“我没超度过‘念鬼’，还真不知道能不能成功，你别报什么希望。”
小蒋没有说话，也说不出来了，只是朝着她的方向鞠了一躬。
十分钟后，顾之桑成功超度了它。
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
