Chapter 2: The Human Heart That Cannot Be Faced Directly
When Ning Jinghuai saw his body exposed to the light of day and already rotten, his breathing became obviously unstable, his pale face began to twist, blood and tears could be seen in the corners of his eyes, and there was a gust of cold wind around him.
Director Qin, who was on the phone, felt the temperature around him suddenly drop and his heart tightened. He only had time to tell the county leaders that the situation was urgent before he hung up the phone and turned to look at Qing Yanrou in horror.
Qing Yanrou smiled apologetically at Director Qin, stretched out her right hand, dragged Ning Jinghuai, who was on the verge of turning evil, behind a big locust tree, and began to educate him on "love".
"Why did I suddenly feel so cold just now?" said a police officer who was investigating the scene, touching his arm.
One of the more robust police officers put down his shovel, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "No, there was a breeze just now, and it was quite cool. It's a pity that there is no wind now."
Chief Qin shed tears of envy as he looked at the "naive" police officer in front of him.
"It hurts, Taoist priest, please stop hitting me!"
She used her fist to beat back Ning Jinghuai, who was almost turning into a ghost. His distorted face returned to its normal pale appearance, and the blood and tears in the corners of his eyes disappeared.
Ning Jinghuai was beaten by her and begged for mercy, but there was no mark of the beating on his body, but the pain penetrated deep into his soul.
"Next time, I'll just use a talisman to make you truly return to nature."
Put him down, warning in a flat voice.
"I was just too excited to see myself, a handsome and charming man, turned into that."
Ning Jinghuai felt so wronged. He had waited so long for his beloved cousin to come out of the barracks and planned to go find him, but he fainted just as he came out of the apartment.
When he woke up, he found that he had turned into a wandering soul, and he still didn't know who killed him.
"Good deeds will be rewarded and evil deeds will be punished. The police have been notified and the murderer will be brought to justice. I will send you down now."
Qing Yanrou also felt a little sympathy for him, but after all, there is a difference between yin and yang, and staying in the yang world for a long time would not be good for his soul.
"Down? Where?"
Ning Jinghuai looked at the girl in front of him in horror.
She noticed that the ghost's brain seemed to be a bit off. "Of course you're going to the underworld to reincarnate. Do you really want to be a lonely ghost forever?"
Only then did he realize that he had misunderstood. He thought Qing Yanrou was going to use talisman paper to send him back to nature.
Originally, I was already dead and should not stay in the world of the living any longer. But when I thought about my unclear death, I was the only child in the family and my grandfather was old, so he would definitely not be able to bear this shock.
"Master, can I see my family again? I want to say goodbye to them."
"Your home is in Beijing?"
"Yes, the Ning family in Jing City."
Qing Yanrou's eyes lit up. Although she had never heard of the Ning family in Beijing, she knew they were very wealthy.
I originally thought it was a simple favor, but I didn't expect the other party to be of such a noble status. This was a good opportunity to earn some money to replace the dilapidated gate of the Taoist temple.
"Well, you can choose to float back now to see your family, and then I'll take you down after we get to Jing City. Of course, the journey is long and you'll be floating for a long time, and you might even encounter other evil spirits along the way and eat you up."
"The second option is that I send you to Jing City to meet your family, and they can have a brief farewell with you. Which one do you choose?"
This is the money bag of the Taoist temple. Qing Yanrou looked at Ning Jinghuai with much softer eyes than before.
When he heard that he could say goodbye to his family, he instantly cheered up.
"Really? Taoist priest, you didn't lie to me, did you? Oh, no, no, Taoist priest, I didn't question you, I was just too excited."
"But it's not free. I will give your family talismans. With the talismans, I can not only talk to you but also touch you."
This type of talisman paper is not traditional talisman paper. She developed it herself. She has used it on Grandma Wang in the village and her deceased husband before, and the effect is very good.
"That's for sure. My family lacks everything except money. I also have a lot of assets, which I will pay to the Taoist priest when the time comes."
Thinking that he could see his parents again, he happily forgot about his rotten body and said happily.
She really thought Ning Jinghuai was a little silly, not at all like the scheming kids raised in wealthy families that her deskmate described to her as depicted in movies, TV shows, and novels.
"Okay, I'm going back to the Taoist temple to rest now. You come back with me first."
After saying that, he ignored him and returned to the scene. He saw Director Qin directing the other four people, asking them to set up a cordon and come up, and not to destroy the scene.
Seeing her come back, Director Qin instinctively looked behind her, but of course he couldn't see anything.
Seeing Director Qin's actions, she paused, reached into her cross-body pocket and took out a handful of talismans. After searching for a long time, she found two amulets and handed them to Director Qin.
"Captain, there are only two amulets here, but this is not far from the temple, don't worry, it's very clean here."
Director Qin also understood this, but it was human instinct to be afraid. Now that he had the amulet, he quickly put it in his pocket.
"Chief, it's a bit late now, and Grandpa is alone in the temple. I'm going back first. I'll go to the police station to record my statement tomorrow. Is that okay with you?"
The old Taoist priest had just been discharged from the hospital not long ago, and it was already late. Although Xiaoyan was looking after him, she was still worried.
"Of course, Master Xiaorou, please go back first. We still have to wait here for the comrades from the county to come."
With the amulet, Director Qin felt very safe now, and when he heard that she wanted to go back first, he agreed without hesitation.
"Oh, yes, Director, the deceased should be Ning Jinghuai from the Ning family in Jing City."
Before leaving, she told Director Qin Ning Jinghuai's identity, which provided them with a direction for identifying the deceased.
After coming out from behind the locust tree, in order to prevent himself from seeing his body turn black again, Ning Jinghuai chose to float in the distance.
Seeing her leaving the scene and walking towards the Taoist temple, I quickly floated over to catch up.
The burial site was at the foot of the mountain behind the Taoist temple. Qing Yanrou was too lazy to go back to the front and climb the stairs, so she went straight back along the small path.
When she returned to the Taoist temple, she saw that only the front hall was still lit, so she carefully pushed open the dilapidated door.
Although she tried to move as quietly as possible, the dilapidated door still made dull creaking sounds and was shaky.
Fortunately, she had a premonition and used her thin, white hands to firmly hold the door panel that was about to be dismembered.
The door was no longer able to withstand any damage, and there was no need to worry about thieves or anything like that, so Qing Yanrou didn't bother with the dilapidated door.
"Xiaorou, are you back? Grandpa left some mung bean soup for you in the kitchen. Hurry up and go! Hey, is there something following you?"
I saw an old man with a white beard, holding a palm-leaf fan, walking slowly from the front hall.
When he noticed the evil energy coming in, he stopped and looked at her in confusion.
