Chapter 332 Born with Yin-Yang Eyes
The noise of that night gradually faded away with the dawn, and the orphanage returned to its former tranquility.
Shao Mengting woke up slowly, her head still a little dizzy. The fragmented memories in her mind were intertwined like a tangled thread, making her feel confused.
Before she could fully comprehend her thoughts, she was hurriedly taken to the mountain temple by the waitress of the orphanage.
Obviously, everyone was very worried about what happened last night. They didn't know whether she was dazzled or a monster really broke in.
To be on the safe side, it would be safer to let the mountain god take a look.
The waitress brought Shao Mengting to the mountain god temple. She looked solemn, gently took Shao Mengting's hand, squatted down, and said softly: "Tingting, when we enter the temple, I will teach you how to burn incense to the mountain god. This incense is our way of expressing respect to the gods and praying for their protection. You must be sincere."
Shao Mengting nodded ignorantly, with confusion and anxiety still in her eyes.
The waitress led Shao Mengting into the temple.
The temple is filled with a faint scent of sandalwood. A tall and majestic statue of the mountain god stands in the center, exuding a mysterious atmosphere.
The waitress picked up a few incense sticks from the incense table beside her, lit them with candlelight, and then handed the incense to Shao Mengting, demonstrating how to hold the incense with both hands and bend down to bow.
Shao Mengting imitated the waitress and bowed devoutly several times. Wisps of incense rose up, as if carrying their wishes to the gods.
The waitress watched Shao Mengting burn incense, then turned to face the mountain god statue, clasped her hands together, and said solemnly, "Lord Mountain God, to be honest, a strange thing happened in the orphanage last night. This child, Shao Mengting, woke up from her sleep and claimed that she saw an aunt and a strange-looking 'soldier' passing through the wall, and then fainted out of fright. We are really worried, and we don't know whether this is the child's eyesight, or if there is really some evil spirit that has broken in. I hope that Lord Mountain God will see clearly and show us a way out."
When Yang Xiangwei heard the prayer, she responded absentmindedly at first, and casually reminded the land master to pay more attention to the movements around the orphanage.
However, when his gaze passed through the eyes of the statue and inadvertently slid over Shao Mengting who was kneeling on the ground, his pupils suddenly shrank and an expression of disbelief appeared on his face.
Shao Mengting was surrounded by a layer of faint light, in which faint flashes of strange patterns of yin and yang interweaving were seen. This was clearly a distinctive feature of a person born with the Yin-Yang ability.
Without hesitation, he used his divine power to possess the statue.
In an instant, the statue's eyes lit up with brilliant light, and the air around it trembled slightly.
Through the perspective of the statue, Yang Xiangwei felt as if she were there and "saw" Shao Mengting's thrilling experience last night.
For a moment, I didn't know whether I should sympathize with the other person.
Originally, if there were no undead in this world, it wouldn’t matter even if Shao Mengting had the Yin-Yang eyes, because without the undead, she wouldn’t be able to see anything anyway.
But some people wanted to create gods and brought out the dead...
Shao Mengting and the waitress were still kneeling on the ground, completely unaware of what was happening.
Yang Xiangwei slowly appeared in front of the statue, emitting a soft and solemn light all over her body, illuminating the entire mountain temple with its brilliance.
The waitress suddenly raised her head and saw the scene in front of her. Her eyes instantly widened and her face was full of shock and surprise. Even her breathing became rapid unconsciously.
She never thought that she would be so lucky to see the true body of the mountain god when she brought Shao Mengting to kneel down for the first time.
"Mountain... Lord Mountain God!" The waitress' voice trembled. She was so excited that she could hardly speak. Her eyes were instantly filled with tears.
Because his family was once refugees, and they survived only because of the protection of the mountain god.
At this moment, her benefactor is right in front of her, how can she not be excited?
Yang Xiangwei nodded slightly and said softly, "Don't get excited, calm down first."
The waitress took a few deep breaths and tried to calm herself down, but her hands still trembled slightly.
After the waitress calmed down a little, Yang Xiangwei slowly said: "I already know about the matter of giving up the child. Don't be afraid, it wasn't some scary monster last night, but the return of the dead. Her son is in your orphanage, and she missed him very much, so she wanted to come back to see him before reincarnation..."
What you are afraid of is the person that others think about day and night.
Shao Mengting's first reaction was: "Then my mother...will she come back to see me?"
Shao Mengting's mother did not die on the road of exile, but died of complications during childbirth when she was born.
Her father was not a good man. He had been having an affair with a cousin when her mother was pregnant. Her mother became depressed and did not survive the childbirth.
She grew up bearing the stigma of being a "mother killer".
If it weren't for her maternal family protecting her, Shao Mengting would never have been able to grow up. Later, natural disasters and man-made tragedies occurred. Her father had abandoned her long ago, but her maternal family still cared about her, so they picked her up overnight and took her with them on the journey.
Later, they got separated on the road.
Shao Mengting, who was not yet fourteen years old, was sent to an orphanage.
Yang Xiangwei would not tell her the cruel truth, but said: "Of course, on the seventh day after your mother passed away, she came back to visit you, but you were too young at that time and you may not remember it... Humans and ghosts are on different paths, so even if she came back, in order not to affect you, she would not let you know."
He did not forget that Shao Mengting was born with the ability to see ghosts and spirits, and specifically emphasized the words "too young" and "forgotten".
Shao Mengting's eyes turned red. It turned out that her mother had come back to visit her, but she just didn't remember...
"Now, has she been reincarnated?"
"Well! You have grown up so much, she was relieved to see you, so she took the last chance to be reborn and left."
…
Yang Xiangwei used white lies to create a happy ending for Shao Mengting's trial story.
He told them that after death, everyone would go to the underworld, which was the final resting place of the dead souls and also the hope for new life.
That's where everyone goes when they die.
The reason why Shao Mengting can see the dead is because she has a talent that ordinary people do not have - the Yin-Yang eyes.
So, she saw the returning dead souls and the ghost soldiers who brought the dead souls back last night!
Yang Xiangwei looked at Shao Mengting and asked softly, "There is an opportunity in front of you now. You can choose to use your talent to become an extraordinary person, or you can choose to be an ordinary person. If it is the latter, I can help you seal the Yin-Yang Eyes. That way, you don't have to worry about seeing these abnormal things in your daily life. So, what are you going to choose?"
"I... I don't know..." Shao Mengting had never thought that she could become an extraordinary person?
The waitress anxiously wanted to make a decision for Shao Mengting, but when she saw the look in Yang Xiangwei's eyes, she had to hold back.
Yang Xiangwei did not let Shao Mengting make a decision immediately, but asked her to go back and think about it slowly, and tell her when she had thought it through.
After leaving the Mountain God Temple, the waitress held Shao Mengting's hand tightly and talked nonstop along the way, her words full of anxiety and expectation: "Tingting, since the Mountain God has given you this opportunity, you must seize it!
It would be so glorious to become an extraordinary person. From now on in this world, you will no longer be an ordinary child who can be bullied by anyone.
You can possess extraordinary power and do many things that others dare not even think about. Wealth and honor, and being admired by others are all no problem.
This is a great opportunity to change your destiny. If you miss it, you will never have it again..."
The waitress's words were like a string of cannonballs, constantly impacting Shao Mengting's thoughts.
As she spoke, she gestured, her eyes flickering with excitement, as if she had already seen Shao Mengting's rapid success after becoming an extraordinary person.
