Chapter 207: Buried in peace and meet again
The people who opened the coffin all looked pale, and Mrs. Ji covered her mouth with a handkerchief in panic.
She almost couldn't stand, and the maid next to her supported her, saying, "Madam, be careful."
Obviously...when the ghost marriage was held, the family that provided the body said that it was no longer breathing.
In order to ensure freshness and not to delay, they agreed to bury the body immediately.
If she wasn't dead, how desperate would this girl be when she woke up in the coffin?
Her cries could not be heard, it was pitch dark, the air was growing thinner, and next to her lay a body 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're still saying no? A living person is marrying someone in the afterlife, and you're dying with your eyes wide open. Your struggles are fruitless, and you're filled with resentment. Your Ji family is full of lies, so please don't believe me!"
Yan Weiwan's face was full of anger, and Master Ji began to explain in a panic.
"I'm so sorry. My family is very proud, so we kept it a secret. But we really didn't know this girl was still alive! If we knew she was still alive, we naturally wouldn't do that. It's such a sin!"
As he spoke, he kowtowed to the people in the grave, and Mrs. Ji and many servants beside him also knelt down.
They were all repenting, but it was no use.
A Lian's body still maintained that strange posture, and her resentful spirit had long been left in the Ji family's house.
"Alian..."
A Yuan 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 was stopped by Nan Lezhi, who signaled her with his eyes not to go forward.
"She's not here. This is just her corpse. Without a soul to protect her, the corpse is filled with resentment. Your soul is too fragile now, and it's easy for someone to accidentally hurt you."
As she spoke to A Yuan, A Yuan's eyes never left the coffin, but he still nodded obediently to indicate that he understood.
"My A-Lian...why is she suffering so much? I feel so bad for her."
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. Rushi, if you don't enter the underworld and always become a lonely ghost, it's not worth it."
Lonely ghosts will one day be absorbed by more powerful ghosts, or driven by the soul-refining Taoism, and then enter reincarnation after dissipating.
She comforted A Yuan, and A Yuan lowered his eyes.
"I just hope that in our next life, neither she nor I will be human again. It's so painful... It would be fine if we could become anything, a flower or a blade of grass, or a fish in the river. Or even a stone, where no one would remember us."
Nan Lezhi nodded to show respect and understanding.
She would not question what they wanted to become. After all, it had nothing to do with her and it was someone else's idea, so she would not interfere.
No matter what you become, it seems to be a good choice, at least it is much easier and simpler than being a human being.
Her current task is to help her apprentice fulfill A Lian's obsession.
Yan Weiwan looked at the people who were kowtowing and snorted coldly.
"Hmph, what's the point of kowtowing to a dead woman? She had no intention of being married to your young master. Why don't you separate them and bury them somewhere else?"
After receiving her reminder, Master Ji quickly stood up, asked someone to bring a new coffin, and put A Lian in it.
She was such a thin woman, but it took several big men to move her. The color of their palms formed a sharp contrast with her dark blue skin.
According to the people who moved the body, her body was like a piece of ice, so cold that it made people feel uneasy and their hair stood up from head to toe.
They were prepared to end the battle quickly, and the grave was dug far away, not with Young Master Ji's.
After doing all this, Master Ji turned his head and asked Yan Weiwan.
"Immortal, how is it going now? Is there anything else we need to do?"
She asked, Yan Weiwan looked at him and then at Madam Ji.
"As my master said, do you want wealth or your life? You carry too much blood debt, and you all need to pay it back."
There was a flash of confusion in Master Ji's eyes.
"Please enlighten me, Immortal!"
Yan Weiwan sighed.
"You can't afford the money you have now. After this is over, please donate more to repair the temple. Although you are usually kind and generous, it is not enough to make up for it."
"Remember not to build up too much wealth. Live frugally and support schools or clinics. This is the only way to survive this crisis. That's all I have to say."
She reminded him, and Master Ji and Madam Ji looked at each other.
Mr. Ji still felt a little reluctant in his heart. After all, if he really donated so much of his property, would he be able to continue living in poverty and misery?
Mrs. Ji noticed his little thoughts and slapped him on the back.
"If we're going to lose our lives, what's the point of having so much money? Now our eldest son is gone, and our youngest son left us so many years ago. We should live a good life with the two remaining brothers."
She woke up Mr. Ji, and Mr. Ji nodded quickly.
"Yes, yes, all right. After this matter is over, we will make a donation to atone for our sins."
After helping A-Lian to the grave, it was already dark and the group headed towards the Ji family mansion.
When I went in, I could clearly feel that the house was a bit colder than outside.
Mr. Ji and Mrs. Ji held hands nervously, looked at the dark environment around them, and spoke in a low voice.
"Immortal, I think A-Lian must still be staying near the bridal chamber. We have already buried her body separately as requested and even burned a lot of paper money. Tonight, I'll leave her in your care."
Mrs. Ji spoke respectfully, Yan Weiwan nodded, and walked alone into the courtyard where Young Master Ji used to live.
In fact, there was a person named A Yuan following her all the time, but others couldn't see it.
As for Nan Lezhi, in order to train his apprentice's ability to survive on her own, he just watched and protected her in the dark without showing up.
She believed Yan Weiwan could handle everything.
When Yan Weiwan first came to the Ji family, he had dealt with A Lian.
But A-Lian knew that they were there to subdue her, and she didn't like her very much, so she just started fighting without saying a word.
Today, when Yan Weiwan stepped into the house, he saw the ghost bride A Lian sitting on the wedding bed with a veil covering her head.
Because there was no light, her figure was illuminated by the moonlight.
"Get out."
A Lian uttered these three words in a cold and thin voice, signaling Yan Weiwan to leave quickly.
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, and then signaled A Yuan behind her to come forward, while she watched the show from the side.
