Chapter 198: Field Trip 23 (End)
The street lights stretched her shadow very long. The male owners of the households surrounding Yanshan were all taken to the police station by the police on the mountain today.
So, at this moment, except for Fusheng and the street lights on the side, the rest of the place was pitch black.
She walked almost silently and soon arrived in front of the cabin.
There were bursts of ping-pong sounds coming from inside, which were particularly abrupt in the quiet night.
She first walked to the door, which was still locked. She reached out and touched the rusty old-fashioned lock, then let it go.
Her movements made a slight sound, and because of this sound, there was a sudden silence inside, and then the ping-pong sounds became louder.
It was as if something was eager to come out.
She remembered the jars she had seen during the day.
She gathered strength in her hand, picked up the rusty key again, and suddenly exerted force. With a crisp "click", the lock broke in her hand.
"Crack—"
She slowly pushed open the wooden door, and the contents of the jars placed by the wall that she had seen through the paper figurines during the day were now restlessly jumping.
Because of their jumping, the jar slowly moved from the corner to the center of the room.
However, the jar that was jumping happily suddenly stopped when she entered the room.
It was so quiet at the moment, as if the scene just now was an illusion. Their guilty conscience, which was being concealed, made Qing Yanrou unable to help but curl her lips slightly.
"Have you figured it out?"
She squatted down, staring at the jar closest to her and asked with a smile.
The jar began to tremble slightly again under her gaze, as if it was shaking with fear.
The jars around heard the noise and began to shake slowly. For a while, there was a "thump thump thump" sound in the room.
"Tsk, with the courage you have now, you still dared to scare people last night. I really put you in a difficult position."
Hearing the noise getting louder and louder, Qing Yanrou felt it was too noisy and reached out to take the talisman off the jar.
After she had peeled off all the talismans, the jar was still shaking and nothing inside came out.
"Don't you want to come out? If you don't, I'll throw you to the evil spirits. They'll definitely be happy to have food again."
Before she finished speaking, dozens of ghosts in the jars rushed out one after another.
After coming out, they didn't dare to run away. After all, Qing Yanrou had not sealed her cultivation at this moment, and her leaked cultivation made them tremble with fear.
They could only huddle together in the corner, not even having the courage to look at her, let alone talk to her.
"I won't throw you into the arms of the devil. Tell me the whole story clearly, and I'll open the Ghost Gate for you and let you leave the underworld. Those who need to be reincarnated will be reincarnated, and those who need to atone for their sins will atone for their sins first."
Her cold voice echoed in the room without any fluctuations. After she finished speaking, no one spoke for a long time.
Just when her patience was about to run out, a female ghost finally spoke.
"Is what you said true?"
The female ghost glanced at her secretly and asked cautiously.
Qing Yanrou didn't say anything, but opened a ghost door next to her.
Feeling the pure yin energy coming from the Ghost Gate, that yin energy continued to flow towards them under her command.
With the Yin energy nourishing their souls, dozens of ghosts sighed comfortably.
But after a while, Qing Yanrou withdrew her guidance. Without her guidance, the Yin Qi obediently returned to the ghost gate.
Without the nourishment of Yin energy, disappointment and longing appeared on their pale faces, and their eyes looked at the Ghost Gate pitifully, but they did not dare to rush into the Ghost Gate directly.
"My Lord, I say, I say—"
"My Lord, let me say—"
"Go away, I know best, let me tell you—"
"Stop, just you."
Looking at the ghosts who suddenly started quarreling, Qing Yanrou stopped them from quarreling and then pointed at the female ghost who spoke first.
The ghost girl who was called out was very shocked and excited. She then tidied herself up before speaking:
"We were the first ones tricked by the Liu sisters into going up the mountain and getting eaten by the geese. Because of the timing of our deaths and the scorching sun that dried out all our resentment, we don't have any real abilities."
"I have no ability and cannot seek revenge, but I am also restrained by them and cannot go to the underworld to be reincarnated, so I can only obey their orders."
The female ghost had been dead for nearly ten years, and now she hated the Liu sisters to the core.
But no matter how much she hated them in her heart, she could not become a ghost, so she could only let them order her around.
"They ordered you to continue scaring people and then take them to the mountains?"
"Yes, my lord."
Qing Yanrou felt a little depressed and continued to ask:
"Did the sisters seal you in this jar? Then who is the man living in here? Where did he go?"
"They sealed us in. That man was the mountain guard. They called him Second Uncle Liu. The Liu sisters took advantage of him not paying attention and ran up the mountain. In the end, the elder sister turned into a monster, and the younger sister also kept killing people."
The ghost girl paused and continued:
"So Uncle Liu felt really bad for them, and basically gave in to them in everything."
"He was responsible for watching us during the day, and letting us go out at night to help the Liu sisters harm others."
"As for where he went tonight, we don't know either."
"My Lord, I have told you everything I know."
After the female ghost finished speaking, she looked at her cautiously, waiting for her to speak.
"Go, you need to go to the underworld to atone for your sins."
Qing Yanrou waved her hand, signaling them to enter the ghost gate on their own.
A group of ghosts first thanked her with gratitude, and then swarmed towards the open ghost gate.
Although you will be punished if you go to the underworld, you will still be able to reincarnate in the right place after completing your punishment.
Instead of being controlled by others like before, they were originally killed by others, and now they have to help the murderer continue to harm others, and the cause and effect are constantly entangled with them.
They had long been tired of such days, but they had no way to escape the control of the Liu sisters before. Now that they finally had this opportunity, of course they couldn't wait to go to the underworld.
After all the ghosts disappeared from the Ghost Gate, Qing Yanrou closed the Ghost Gate, looked at the suddenly empty room, paused for a moment, and then turned around and walked out.
The bright moonlight poured down, she stretched out her hand to catch the moonlight that fell on the ground through the shadows of the trees, and exhaled deeply.
Sometimes what is scarier than ghosts is the human heart.
