Bai Xi immediately stood up, grabbed the long tongue, and quickly took out a talisman with her other hand and stuck it on it.
The female ghost's long tongue could no longer be retracted, and she rolled on the ground in pain.
"Who sent you?" Bai Xi asked.
The female ghost encountered a formidable and ruthless character, and knelt on the ground begging for mercy.
"Master, spare me! I'm just a wandering ghost, I haven't... I haven't done anything evil, I just came here out of boredom at night..."
Before she could finish speaking, Bai Xi took the talisman off her tongue.
The white-clad female ghost was finally able to speak. She was almost in tears as she said, "Master, I'm not one of the evil spirits. I'm just a nobody, the kind of ghost they despise."
Bai Xi sensed that this female ghost had almost no cultivation; she was just an ordinary little ghost.
Yun Nuan walked over and said, "Who knows if she's lying? Maybe she's someone sent by the evil forces to gather intelligence."
Upon hearing this, the white-clad female ghost immediately knelt down.
"Master, it's really not like that. I'm just a wandering ghost, I have no intention of harming anyone."
Yun Nuan said, "If you didn't mean any harm, then what are you doing in our room so late at night?"
Lin Xinxi floated over, "Yeah, did you come here just to scare us?"
The white-clad female ghost stammered, looking at Lin Xinxi, "...If I told you the truth is as you say...would you believe me?"
Lin Xinxi, "..."
Yun Nuan, "..."
The female ghost in white said, "I've been a ghost for too long, and I'm bored. I came here to scare people for fun."
Lin Xinxi, "..."
Yun Nuan, "..."
"Are you out of your mind? Coming here to scare people?"
The white-clad female ghost was on the verge of tears, saying, "This is my first time doing this, and I never expected to run into such a tough opponent."
“One of the sisters in our ghost circle said that scaring people is really fun. I’ve never been scared before, so I wanted to come and try it out. But I didn’t expect to have such a bad start. I ran into you guys on my first attempt at doing something naughty.”
Lin Xinxi, "..."
Yun Nuan, "..."
Bai Xi, "..."
Lin Xinxi said, "No wonder a ghost with such low cultivation level dares to enter our house."
The white-clad female ghost continued, on the verge of tears, "Yes, I had no idea she was a master, and there were two ghosts like you who were far more powerful than me. If I had known, I wouldn't have been so presumptuous as to come in and scare people."
Yun Nuan looked at Bai Xi, "Master Bai Xi, how credible do you think her words are?"
The white-clad female ghost kowtowed and begged for mercy, "I really didn't lie to you, I was just bored and came out to scare people."
Bai Xi: "What she said is true."
The white-clad female ghost breathed a sigh of relief.
“I have caused you trouble, but I can make amends.”
Yun Nuan, "How do you plan to make amends?"
The white-clad female ghost said, "Your master is a Taoist priest, probably here to investigate the affairs of Camphor Tree Village."
Yun Nuan said, "You're quite clever."
Bai Xi said, "Do you know if any people who looked a bit unusual have come to this village?"
The white-clad female ghost recalled for a moment, "It seems there were strange people, and they weren't ordinary people either; they were police officers."
Bai Xi: "Do you know where they went?"
The white-clad female ghost shook her head. "I don't know, but I think it's related to that wishing tree. I remember a woman who seemed to be a leader."
"The last time I saw her was under the wishing tree. She was standing there with a man, studying something, and then she suddenly disappeared."
"At first I thought they had left, but then I saw that the two men they brought with them were looking for them. After a while, those men also disappeared."
Bai Xi pondered.
a long time…
The white-clad female ghost said weakly, "Can I... leave now?"
Bai Xi: "Okay, you can go now."
"Alright!" the white-clad female ghost immediately laughed. Just as she was about to leave, Bai Xi suddenly called her back.
The white-clad female ghost paused, then turned her head and said, "Master, is there anything else? You wouldn't be changing your mind and not want to let me go, would you?"
She knew full well how powerful the female Taoist priest in front of her was; if she wanted to subdue her, the priest would have no chance of escaping.
Bai Xi said, “Let me remind you, don’t play scary games in the future. Some people are naturally timid and can’t handle being scared. If they die because of you, you will be burdened with a karmic debt, and things won’t be as easy as they are now in the future.”
The white-clad female ghost quickly said, "Master, I promise I will never do it again."
She just thought it was fun and didn't consider the consequences or think much about it. Only after listening to the master's words did she realize the seriousness of the matter.
After the white-clad female ghost left, Yun Nuan said, "She must have been referring to Meng Qingran and Ye Fantian."
Bai Xi nodded, "It seems we still need to go and take a look at the wishing tree."
When the three of them went outside, Bai Xi suddenly noticed that the color of the sky was different.
Seeing that Bai Xi was staring at the night sky, Yun Nuan and Lin Xinxi couldn't help but ask, "Master Bai Xi, what are you looking at?"
Bai Xi: "The color of the sky is wrong."
Yun Nuan, “???”
Lin Xinxi, "???"
The two of them looked up at the sky, which was dark, and didn't think anything was wrong. Wasn't everything black?
Lin Xinxi: "Sister Baixi, is it because it's almost dawn?"
Bai Xi shook her head. "No, it's just that the night sky hasn't changed at all, but it's gotten even darker."
Lin Xinxi and Yun Nuan paused, not understanding what she meant.
Lin Xinxi looked on with admiration, "Sister Baixi, you can even tell that the color is darker?"
At this moment, Rong Huan, Chen Huayue, Pang Dahai, and the others ran out in a panic.
When Rong Huan saw Master Baixi outside, his eyes widened in surprise, and then, as if he had seen a lifeline, he quickly said...
"Master Baixi, it's still dark!"
The group ran to Bai Xi's side.
Chen Huayue took out her phone. "Look at your phones. It's already eight in the morning, and there's not even a hint of dawn."
Fat Seaweed said anxiously, "What happened? We were all terrified."
Seeing that these people all looked unwell, Yun Nuan said, "None of you have slept?"
They wanted to cry when they talked about it.
"We encountered a ghost, and we were too scared to go back to sleep after waking up."
"Oh no! My phone is almost out of battery!" Fatty Dahai exclaimed.
Chen Huayue: "Mine too!"
"And ours too!"
They were horrified to discover that their fully charged phones were suddenly losing battery power very quickly.
Bai Xi realized that something behind the scenes wanted to keep them here.
At this moment, a tourist ran out in a panic.
"Someone's dead! Someone's dead! Come out quickly!"
As the tourist shouted, many tourists and villagers ran out.
