Chapter 65 The Return Journey
Lu Yao clasped her hands together and solemnly said to the screen:
“Ah Lian, your daughters are trapped here not because of hatred, but because they can’t bear to leave you.”
“If you are willing to let go of your resentment, I can help you be reincarnated together... In the next life, you can be mother and daughter again.”
Ah Lian trembled all over, a tear sliding down her pale face. "They have long since become vengeful infant spirits. How can they be reborn? If they could be reincarnated, I would have taken them there long ago."
The three vengeful infant spirits stared blankly at Lu Yao, a hint of doubt appearing on their狰狞 faces.
“Ah Lian, you just need to trust me and tell me your names.”
A-Lian hesitated for a moment. She shouldn't trust anyone, but inexplicably, the girl's voice was gentle yet firm, carrying an undeniable power.
She murmured:
"Yue Lian, Yue Nianqiao, Yue Xiaoman, Yue Rendong."
Lu Yao took out a Rebirth Contract, wrote the names of A-Lian and the three infant spirits in cinnabar, and chanted softly:
"The soul returns to the soul, and the earth returns to the earth..."
"Our bond is not yet broken in this life; may we continue our kinship in the next."
Ah Lian's resentment gradually dissipated. She looked down at the three infant spirits, and their decaying faces slowly returned to their former appearance—
A haggard yet gentle mother.
She gently stroked each of her daughters' heads, and the ferocity of the infant spirits faded away, turning them into ordinary infants, and even... smiling.
The final recitation of the Rebirth Mantra by Lu Yao formed golden lotus patterns on the lake's surface, causing a soft golden light to ripple across the water.
Master Youxu struggled to climb ashore in a disheveled state, staring in shock at the scene before him.
Lu Yao's voice came through the phone, gentle yet firm:
"Go on... May you be reunited as mother and daughter in your next life, and live in peace and joy."
Ah Lian looked deeply into the camera, as if saying "thank you," then, holding her three children, she transformed into shimmering stars and slowly sank to the bottom of the lake.
This time, it's not a desperate fall, but a journey of liberation.
...
[This is so shocking! Ah Lian's story is so tragic. Master Youxu almost met with disaster, but thankfully Master Qiannian intervened!]
I got goosebumps. I never imagined there were so many hidden stories. When will the tragedies caused by the preference for sons over daughters disappear from ancient times to the present?
I was absolutely terrified just now, but now I'm so touched. My emotions are like a rollercoaster.
[As expected of my favorite streamer, this move was absolutely divine, and she showed great compassion. Without her, the consequences would have been unimaginable!]
This was the first time a paranormal phenomenon had occurred in the live stream, causing great excitement among the audience and setting a new record for the number of viewers.
Lu Yao's live stream was hailed by viewers as "the gentlest exorcism," but she herself sighed softly, "Performing a rite of passage is much harder than exterminating a ghost..."
Fan Yueke's legs trembled as she took her phone back from the bodyguard. Looking at Lu Yao on the screen, tears welled up in her eyes.
"Streamer, you're my god!"
If Fan Yue was somewhat prepared for the appearance of a female ghost in Youmeng Lake, the sudden appearance of the infant spirit that dragged Daoist Youxu into the lake almost scared her out of her wits.
Just as she was about to suffocate, Lu Yao's clear and melodious chanting of the Rebirth Mantra pierced through all her fear.
The voice was like a beam of light, dispelling the gloom that shrouded the lake, and then turning into a warm current that spread from the fingertips of her hand holding the phone.
First her palms, then her arms, and finally her whole body was enveloped in an indescribable warmth, soothing every inch of her trembling soul from the inside out.
Fan Yueke's expensive skirt was soaked in the mud by the lake, but she didn't care at all, only staring at Lu Yao on the screen with fervor.
From her fervent gaze, Lu Yao felt the power of faith slowly flowing into her body.
Lu Yao smiled slightly at Fan Yueke.
Fan Yueke trembled, as if that smile had struck her heart.
Unbeknownst to her, her pure faith was transforming into the most precious resources for spiritual practice within Lu Yao's body.
So, is Dream Lake completely alright now? Will there be more stories to come?
[The whole Youmeng Lake issue was ultimately resolved by our streamer. Hey you, remember to pay our streamer 80 million!]
[Yes, that person refused to pay Master Qiannian, but Master Qiannian still intervened, not only helping the wronged souls of Youmeng Lake find peace but also saving the Taoist priest's life from a near accident! The streamer is so generous and compassionate!]
Lu Jianhong was hiding furtively behind a thick willow tree, his figure half-concealed, trying to slip away at any moment.
When [Qianniangangtongwang] successfully performed a ritual to release the female ghost Alian and the infant spirit through a live broadcast, Lu Jianhong was initially relieved.
Recalling the terrifying scene just now, his crotch felt ice-cold, but he had no time to care about the embarrassment; his heart was filled with the relief of surviving a disaster.
However, before this feeling of relief could linger for even a moment, he suddenly slapped his forehead, his face turning deathly pale.
He suddenly remembered that Lu Yao had clearly stated the price before making the move—a full 80 million!
Lu Jianhong felt a chill run down his spine and wanted to slip away as fast as he could.
But as soon as he lifted his foot, before he could take more than a few steps, he was stopped by Fan Yueke's bodyguard with lightning speed.
The female bodyguard was even more muscular than him. Without a word, she grabbed him and her hand was like an iron clamp, making Lu Jianhong unable to move.
“Mr. Lu, my young lady has invited you to discuss the Dream Lake project.”
Lu Jianhong knew very well that the Fan family held a pivotal position in the business world, with a business empire far larger than his own. Moreover, he relied heavily on the Fan family for this Youmeng Lake project.
Although he was Fan Yueke's elder in terms of seniority, he was at a complete disadvantage in front of her at this moment.
Fan Yueke stared directly at Lu Jianhong without fear. "Uncle Lu, it seems that the Daoist Youxu you invited is unreliable. He almost lost his life. Master Qiannian not only saved Daoist Youxu's life but also performed a ritual to help the souls of the dead in the lake pass on. Uncle Lu, who do you think you should thank? And who should receive the money for the exorcism and ritual?"
Lu Jianhong's back was already soaked with cold sweat. He retorted, "Miss Fan, you can't say that. I never hired her. She took the initiative to solve the problem herself. If you insist on forcing me to pay, what's the difference between that and forced buying and selling?"
Fan Yueke raised an eyebrow and snorted, "Uncle Lu, reputation is the foundation of everything. Now that the millennium master has solved this huge problem, you want to renege on your debt? If word gets out, how will you survive in the business world? Everyone will say that you, Lu Jianhong, are ungrateful and have no integrity. Then... who will be willing to cooperate with you?"
Fan Yueke sneered, "Besides, Uncle Lu, didn't you consider the consequences if Master Qiannian didn't intervene? Not only Youxu, but also me, you, and everyone here could die!"
Her voice was sharp and deafening, making everyone's hearts tremble, and they all looked at Lu Jianhong with condemning eyes.
"Don't you feel even a shred of gratitude? Aren't you afraid everyone will know you're such an ungrateful person?"
