Chapter 129 Blessing
Lin Hanzhi's face didn't look good. Did the evil ghost escape? Are they all hiding cunningly like hungry ghosts? Otherwise, why has no one from the Abnormal Control Bureau reported any abnormal situation?
Qi Gu was also curious about this and asked Sang Ma immediately, but received a reply that nothing unusual was found.
Lin Hanzhi asked: "How many ghosts escaped?"
The hungry ghost struggled to pinch his throat, but it was useless. He was still talking: "...I was the first one to escape. I don't know what happened afterwards, but I heard that the underworld reacted very quickly. It didn't take long for them to repair the ghost prison and start issuing orders to capture the escaped evil ghosts. The ghosts in the prison all have a special contract that works on ghosts. If the underworld wants to capture them, it's a very simple matter."
"Then why weren't you arrested?" Qi Gu asked.
"The clever ghost wiped it out for me. It wanted me to go to the human world to cause trouble in the underworld, but I thought it would be easy to die quickly, so I didn't do it." The hungry ghost said as a matter of course, "We are all ghosts, who cares about integrity?"
When Qi Gu had asked almost all his questions, he took out the iron ball again, wrapped it in a napkin, rinsed it and put it away, and then began to summon the ghost.
Thinking that the ghost official should be very busy, he summoned an ordinary ghost messenger.
But this time, it was the ghost official who appeared again, in this residential building that was no more than three meters high. It needed to bend down to fully appear in the residential area, so it simply manipulated its tall body, squatted on the ground, and said, "What's going on?"
Qi Gu sniffed and pointed at a hungry ghost beside him: "I caught a hungry ghost from the three evil realms and came to hand it over to you, sir."
The ghost official did not look at the evil ghost, but only looked at Qi Gu: "Thank you for your help, my friend. The ghost prison in the underworld was attacked a few days ago, and a group of evil ghosts escaped. However, they have all been captured and have not had time to cause trouble in the human world, except for this hungry ghost."
Master, this means you want to exchange information with me. Qi thought so.
"Capture them all? Without leaving a single one behind?" Qi Gu asked.
"That's right." The ghost official said, "This is indeed strange. The clever ghost has been planning for many years and has come here many times. I thought it was going to rob the prisoners, but this time it didn't take any evil ghosts with it. It should just be to create chaos. Therefore, I guess its destination is the ghost prison."
Qi Gu said, "I wonder if you know about this kind of bone?"
Qi Gu took out two pieces of green bones from the gourd and handed them to the huge ghost official.
The ghost official said: "This bone is called Glazed Bone, and it must have been obtained from a ghost called Glazed Ghost. There are rumors in the underworld that when Glazed Ghost appears in the world, the world will be destroyed."
"Thank you for your answer." Qi Gu put away the colored glaze bones and said, "There may also be colored glaze bones placed in the ghost prison. Please check it carefully."
"Thank you for your reminder, young friend." The ghost official said, and handed over a sandalwood box in his hand wrapped in white mist, "This is a thank you gift."
Qi Gu took it, but before he could say thank you, the ghost official disappeared on the spot with the hungry ghost.
He was stunned for a moment, and was so angry that he laughed.
Damn old man, I can see that he is worried about it, but he still runs so fast!
Lin Hanzhi was relieved to see that Qi Gu didn't seem sad this time.
At the same time, I am a little envious of the fact that there are so many ghost hands in the underworld. Look, so many evil ghosts have escaped, but they have basically all been caught back, without adding any workload to the Abnormal Management Bureau!
Qi Gu didn't know what Lin Hanzhi was thinking about, and his expression seemed a bit envious and jealous, so he opened the sandalwood box. In the box were some exquisite props commonly used in the underworld, as well as a large, rosy peach.
Qi Gu thought: He couldn't grow peaches well in the human world, but the peaches in the underworld that needed to be irrigated with yin energy grew healthily.
I also thought: This is because they saw that he was sad last time, so they planted it to comfort him.
Qi Gu, for a person who is practicing cultivation, eating a Yin peach will not harm the body.
…
After being notified by Qi Gu, Niu An and his family returned home. Seeing that the hungry ghost had left, they thanked Qi Gu for his help. Niu An even took out his passbook to give Qi Gu money.
Qi Gu quickly refused. He remembered how Niu An had taken care of him in the past. How could he take Niu An's money? In the end, he only accepted a one-yuan coin symbolically.
In the room, there is a mighty aura specially left behind by the ghost official. This mighty aura will not dissipate for many years. With it, Niu An's family will never be disturbed by ghosts again in this life.
I think the ghost official also recognized Niu An as the kind-hearted teacher from that year.
Niu An thanked her and asked Qi Gu to stay with Lin Hanzhi to eat snacks and watch TV. Although she tried her best to be cheerful during the conversation, she seemed a little lost when her eyes fell on the photo of her late husband.
Qi Gu saw her mood and said, "Teacher Niu, do you still remember Fu'ai Temple? I have a ticket. If you really miss your husband, you can go and pay respect to the shrine outside the main hall."
Niu An took the ticket and thanked them, then took various gifts and sent Qi Gu and Lin Hanzhi to the gate of the community.
The car that came to pick them up was still the luxury car that was not at all low-key. Under the glittering night sky of the street, the two of them discussed and put the gifts in the trunk. Then, Lin Hanzhi opened the car door for Qi Gu and let the person get in first before she went in and closed the door.
Finally, the two of them leaned on the car window and waved goodbye to Niu An.
Niu An smiled and said, "I wish you happiness."
…
The car drove very far away, Qi Gu was still wondering what Niu An’s last farewell words meant, and why he suddenly said such a sentence?
As a Chinese teacher, Niu An cares most about the accuracy of the words and sentences used. When students use inappropriate words in their homework, she will correct them repeatedly.
But why would such a diligent and rigorous teacher say "I wish you happiness" to two men when saying goodbye?
It was very strange, and it made Qi Gu think about it over and over again.
"Hanzhi, don't you find it strange?" Qi Gu asked.
Lin Hanzhi looked at his serious expression and said, "Maybe Teacher Niu has reached an age where she feels that wishing others happiness is the greatest blessing, just like for someone who is not in good health, wishing her good health is the most sincere advice she can give."
Lin Hanzhi suddenly looked serious. His handsome face looked extraordinary under the neon lights that flashed past the car window behind him. He said word by word, "I wish you happiness, peace, health, and everything goes well."
He hoped that Qi Gu would have these things that he didn't have in the future.
Qi Gu was stunned by his blessing. He felt that the two sentences were somehow connected. Looking back at Lin Hanzhi's beautiful peach blossom eyes, he said softly, "May the blessing rebound."
"I wish you happiness, safety, health and everything goes well in the future."
