Of the twelve-person team, nine returned, along with three skeletons.
Jiang Si silently watched their solemn ceremony and said softly, "I'll see you off on your final journey."
She lowered her head, closed her eyes, and muttered incantations. A moment later, a cold wind suddenly arose.
Seeing all this, everyone felt even more sorrowful.
Even the heavens pity them.
Jiang Si said to the empty space in front of her, "Thank you."
Ox-Head and Horse-Face clasped their hands in a fist salute, saying, "Master Jiang, what are you saying? They are contributing to the country and the people; this is what we should do."
With Ox-Head and Horse-Face leading the way, they're unlikely to get lost or lose their minds.
May they have a peaceful and prosperous life in their next life.
The three of them also quietly thanked Jiang Si.
He turned and followed the ox-headed and horse-faced demons until they disappeared from sight.
After all, once a person dies, it's like a lamp going out; the past must be forgotten, and dwelling on it is futile.
Afterwards, Gu Ming and Chen Chuan asked Jiang Si what exactly happened.
Jiang Si explained, "That place has little sunlight all year round. When yang is weak, yin is strong. That thing is born from yin energy. Because of yin energy, it is formless, but it needs yang energy. Humans are the best food for it."
After Jiang Si explained it this way, they understood.
"That place?" Gu Ming asked anxiously.
“There’s no need to worry about that,” Jiang Si said. “This thing takes a very, very long time to form, possibly tens of thousands of years.”
"..."
There's really no need to worry about that.
Whether or not humanity has destroyed itself over thousands of years is another matter.
There was one more thing Jiang Si didn't mention: the reason the remaining people were able to protect themselves was because Su Yanming's tortoise shell timely opened up a space, saving them.
The tortoise shell of the Bixi is naturally associated with water, so ordinary earth fire cannot harm it.
It's just a pity for those few people.
Xu Yingting noticed Jiang Si quietly during the ceremony.
After she finished speaking with her superior, he approached Jiang Si: "Master Jiang, did you see my comrades-in-arms?"
“Yes.” Jiang Si did not deny it, and offered a rare word of comfort: “Everyone has their destiny. Don’t worry, they will live a good life in their next life.”
"Did they go down with them?" Xu Yingting asked.
"Of course." Jiang Si felt a little strange. Was there anything wrong with that? Was she not going down with them to become a wandering ghost up there?
"Then may I ask Master Jiang for a favor?" Xu Yingting said. "Don't worry, you won't be shortchanged in terms of payment."
Helping their comrades might be out of respect for their superiors, but helping him would be a private matter, and it's only natural for the master to charge money.
Jiang Si: "I..."
Xu Yingting gave a number.
Jiang Si: "..."
Money is a minor issue; the main thing is that she's very helpful.
"What is it?" Jiang Si changed her answer in a second.
Xu Yingting's lips were a little dry, so he unconsciously licked them and rubbed his hands together, saying, "I've always suspected that my great-grandfather hasn't left."
"I want you to see what's behind this if he didn't leave?"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Si thought, "This job is way too easy!"
It was so simple that she felt embarrassed to charge so much money.
Xu Yingting already had leave, so he asked his boss for leave, boarded a plane, and took Jiang Si home.
Of course, his excuse was that a friend had come over to visit.
He dared not tell his family that they might come to his house to perform a religious ceremony, for fear that he would be chased out with a broom on the spot.
Xu Yingting lived in a villa in the south of the city.
Despite being a very wealthy landlord who collects hundreds of millions in rent every year, he still lives a very simple life.
The reason they moved into a villa was because their original location was demolished.
Mrs. Xu was very enthusiastic. Her eyes lit up the moment she saw Jiang Si. This beautiful girl was truly stunning.
"Come in quickly, come in and sit down."
"Mom, this is my friend. He came here specifically to have some fun." Xu Yingting spoke up in time to stop his mother's daydreams. Wake up, he can't possibly be worthy of someone like Master Jiang.
Jiang Si looked at Xu's mother and gave her a genuine smile. "Sorry to bother you."
There is a bright color on Xu's mother, which is something that only people who are always happy and kind-hearted can have.
Qi Yan and She Zhang followed behind, each more polite than the last: "Hello, Auntie."
"These two children are so good-looking," Mrs. Xu exclaimed sincerely.
She was a little envious; why couldn't her son grow up with such rosy lips and white teeth?
"Is this yours?"
Jiang Si thought for a moment, "These are my two younger brothers, one named Qi Yan and the other named She Zhang."
"They really are a family; all the good-looking ones are together."
Xu Yingting: "..." Mom, I'm not bad looking either, a tough guy, you know? I'm very popular now.
Xu's mother didn't receive Xu Yingting's gaze. After looking at Jiang Si for a while, she said, "You look somewhat familiar to me."
Jiang Si paused for a moment, thinking that she must have gotten to know her from the drama when the original owner first debuted, but she wasn't famous enough for older people to remember her.
This mother of Xu's doesn't seem to be the kind of person who spends a lot of time online; she probably just skimmed over the negative information about her back then.
Jiang Si didn't want to bring up the past anymore, so she said, "Maybe I just have a generic face."
The air fell silent after those words were spoken.
Mrs. Xu: "..."
Xu Yingting: "..."
It's good to be humble, but sometimes being overly humble can come across as showing off.
If she has a generic face, then what do the others look like?
Just because he's straight doesn't mean he has no aesthetic sense.
Finally, Xu Yingting told Jiang Si to put away her luggage, and then drove her away under the pretext of taking her out for a drive.
Xu Yingting suspected their ancestral hall.
The Xu family was a prominent family in the area.
Located in the heart of the city's CBD, the ancestral hall is exceptionally grand and occupies a vast area, showcasing the magnificence of the Xu family ancestral hall.
Jiang Si glanced at the doorway and said, "This land contains the auspicious energy of a dragon and a phoenix, making it a place of great fortune that will surely bless future generations. Isn't that wonderful?"
It's safe to say that as long as you don't intentionally try to kill yourself, you're basically in a very difficult situation to die.
Xu Yingting said he brought the person inside.
Modern ancestral halls rarely adhere to the old rules that prohibit women and outsiders from entering.
In the central hall, the ancestors of the Xu family are enshrined.
Xu Yingting said, "The third one from the left is my great-grandfather's ancestral tablet. When I'm alone, the tablet always falls down by itself. My mother has scolded me many times for making trouble."
“When I tell the truth, they don’t believe me. They say I’m lying because I’m trying to avoid the truth.”
"Do you think my great-grandfather had some unfulfilled wish, or," Xu Yingting's tone turned sharp, "or is someone playing tricks on us?"
Out of Xu Yingting's sight, an old man with a braid still hanging down his back was jumping up and down in front of them, glaring at Jiang Si and saying, "How can you be so unreliable? You just sent a woman?"
Jiang Si looked at the old man and smiled gently.
The old man jumped three meters away, shouting, "You can see me?!?"
