The faces of those who opened the coffin were all pale, and Mrs. Ji covered her mouth with a handkerchief in panic.
She almost couldn't stand steadily, and the maid beside her supported her, saying, "Madam, be careful."
Obviously... when the ghost marriage was performed, the family that provided the body said that the body was no longer alive.
In order to ensure freshness and not to delay, they agreed to bury it immediately.
If she wasn't dead, how desperate would this girl be when she woke up in the coffin?
She couldn't hear a sound coming from her, and she couldn't see any fingers when she stretched out her hand. The air was getting thinner and thinner. There was a body lying next to her that she didn't recognize. She didn't know what she would think when she touched it.
Yan Weiwan looked at this scene with anger in his eyes.
"You still say no? A living person is married in the afterlife, and he dies with his eyes open. His struggles are fruitless, and he is full of resentment. You, the Ji family, are full of lies, please don't believe them!"
Yan Weiwan's face was full of anger, and Master Ji hurriedly started to explain.
"I'm really sorry. My family is more concerned about reputation, so we kept it a secret, but we really didn't know that the girl was still alive! If we knew she was still alive, we would naturally not do that. It's a sin!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed to the people in the grave. Madam Ji and the servants beside him also knelt down.
They all confessed, but to no avail.
Ah Lian's body still maintained that strange posture, and her resentful spirit had long since remained in the Ji family's house.
"A-Lian..."
Ah Yi called softly from behind, but except for Nan Lezhi and Yan Weiwan, no one else could hear it at all.
She wanted to go forward, but Nan Lezhi stopped her and signaled her not to go forward with his eyes.
"She's not here. This is just her corpse. Without a soul to protect it, the corpse is full of resentment. Your soul is too fragile now, and it's easy to get hurt by mistake."
As she spoke to Ah Yi, Ah Yi's eyes never left the coffin, but she still nodded obediently, indicating that she understood.
"Dear A-Lian...why are you suffering so much? I feel so sorry for you."
She complained to Nan Lezhi, who opened his mouth and then said, "There are many people with miserable lives in this world. After you go to the underworld, your next life should not be so miserable. To be honest, if you don't enter the underworld and always wander around as a lonely ghost, it's not worth it."
Lonely ghosts will eventually be absorbed by a stronger ghost, or driven by the soul-refining path, and then dissipate and enter reincarnation.
She comforted Ayi, and Ayi lowered her eyes.
"I just hope that in my next life, she won't be an adult. It's so miserable... It doesn't matter if she becomes anything, a flower or a blade of grass, or a fish in the river, or even just a head, where no one will miss her."
Nan Lezhi nodded to show his respect and understanding.
She won't question what they want to be, after all, it has nothing to do with her, and it's someone else's idea, she won't interfere.
No matter what I become, it seems to be a very good choice. At least it is much easier and simpler than being a human.
Her current mission is to help her little disciple fulfill Ah Lian's wish.
Yan Weiwan looked at the people who were kowtowing and snorted coldly.
"Humph, what's the point of kowtowing when the person is dead? She has no intention of being together with your young master, why don't you separate them and bury them somewhere else."
After getting her reminder, Master Ji got up quickly, someone brought a new coffin, and put Ah Lian in it.
She was such a thin woman, but it took several men to move her. The color of their hands formed a sharp contrast with her iron-blue skin.
According to the description of the people who moved the body, her body was like a block of ice, freezing people so much that their hair stood up from head to toe.
They were prepared to make a quick decision, and the grave was dug far away, not with Master Ji.
After doing this, Master Ji turned his head and asked Yan Weiwan.
"My God, how is it going now? Is there anything else you need to do?"
She asked, Yan Weiwan looked at him and then at Mrs. Ji.
"Just as Master said, are you wealth or life? You have too much blood debt on your body, and you need to pay it back."
There was a flash of confusion in Master Ji's eyes.
"Please enlighten me, Immortal!"
Yan Weiwan sighed.
"If you can't afford the money, please donate more to the temple after this is over. Although you are usually generous, it is not enough to make up for it."
"Remember that your family's assets are not too great. Living frugally and supporting schools or hospitals would be a good option. This is the only way to survive this crisis. That's all I can say."
As she reminded them, Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji looked at each other.
Mr. Ji still felt a little reluctant in his heart. After all, he had so much property. If he really donated it, could he continue to live in poverty and misery?
Mrs. Ji noticed his little thoughts and slapped him on the back.
"If you're dead, what's the point of having so much money? If your son is dead, and your youngest son left you so many years ago, you should live a good life with the two remaining brothers."
She woke up Mr. Ji, and he nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, yes. Okay, after this is over, we will make a donation to atone for our sins."
After finishing the grave for Ah Lian, the sky around them had darkened, and several people hurried towards the Ji family's house.
When I entered, I could obviously feel that the house was a little colder than outside.
Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji held hands nervously, looked at the dark environment around them, and spoke in a low voice.
"My god, I think that Ah Lian must still be staying near the bridal chamber. We have buried the corpse separately according to your request and burned a lot of paper money. Tonight, I'm counting on you."
Madam Ji spoke respectfully, Yan Weiwan nodded, and walked alone into the courtyard where Master Ji used to live.
In fact, there was an owl following her, but no one else could see it.
As for Nan Lezhi, in order to train his apprentice to survive on her own, he just watched from the dark to protect her and did not show up.
She believed Yan Weiwan could handle it.
When Yan Weiwan first came to Ji's house, he had dealt with A-Lian.
But Ah-Lian knew that they were here to subdue her, so she didn't like her very much, and later she just started fighting without saying a word.
When I entered the house before dusk, I saw the ghost bride Ah-Lian sitting on the wedding bed with a veil covering her head.
Since there was no light, her figure was reflected by the moonlight.
"Get out."
Ah Lian uttered these three words in a cold voice, signaling Yan Weiwan to hurry up.
She didn't want to kill innocent people, nor did she want to hurt people who had no grudges against her.
Yan Weiwan watched this scene, swallowed her saliva, and then gestured to Ah Yi behind her while she watched the show from the side.
