Chapter 6
It's out!
Suddenly, they bumped into each other face to face.
Jin Moli's face was deathly pale, and her hands, which were holding the food box, were trembling violently. Thinking of her grandmother behind her, she dared not move at all.
"What's wrong, Jasmine?"
"Grandma, don't come out." In this moment of crisis, Jin Moli managed to utter these words with remarkable ease.
"Stand there, don't move."
Lin Fengjuan stood there, looking outside. The courtyard was empty under the pale yellow light, but it felt a little unsettling compared to usual. "Jasmine, I don't... sigh!"
Just now, Jasmine didn't stutter.
Lin Fengjuan was somewhat pleased, but quickly frowned again: "Jasmine, is something unclean coming?"
"Um."
Upon receiving the answer, Lin Fengjuan was shocked and quickly pulled her granddaughter behind her.
"bump"
He then closed the door behind him.
Lin Fengjuan's series of movements were very fast.
Jin Moli was pulled to sit on the sofa. Her legs felt weak, and she didn't dare look out the window. She said to her grandmother in a tearful voice, "Grandma~"
"There's a ghost!"
Lin Fengjuan is getting old and takes these things very seriously.
She did not doubt her granddaughter's words.
And the chilling feeling that greeted you as soon as you opened the door made you even more uneasy.
With her back to her granddaughter, she concealed the panic in her eyes. Her hand trembled as she picked up her phone. The more anxious she became, the less she could find the number she was looking for. It took her a long time to finally manage to call the Taoist priest in the village.
"Beep...beep...The number you dialed is temporarily unavailable..."
The phone went unanswered, so Lin Fengjuan anxiously dialed again, "...no one answered..."
What's that old Taoist priest up to now? Can he be reliable for once?
Lin Fengjuan then called again.
"Grandma, look...look...outside."
What!
Oh dear, what brings Ling'er here!
...
Upon noticing the commotion, Lingxi quickly jumped off the roof and rushed towards the Jin family's residence.
Big Black across the street loosened his grip on the bone and tilted his head in confusion.
strangeness!
Yesterday the yin energy was so strong, but today the atmosphere is much purer.
If it weren't for the lingering gloom within it, which was not much different from the aura of the evil spirit she had seen yesterday, she would have suspected that it was the same one.
Perhaps sensing her arrival, the ghost slowly turned its body to face her.
Oh, looks like you weren't seriously injured yesterday, huh? You still dare to face her so openly.
Through the faint gloom, a human-like face appeared in her eyes, but it seemed somewhat familiar.
It stood there, muttering repeatedly, "Jinbao... Jin...bao... medicine..."
Something's not right...
Yesterday, there was no apparent consciousness.
Today, however, a clear difference is evident; it seems to have become more sober, specifically...
She glanced at the scattered, writhing shadows of varying sizes on his body, and the more she looked, the more uncomfortable she felt.
However, there were too many strange things going on right now, so Lingxi didn't go for the kill like she did yesterday. Instead, she used her magic to gather moonlight and mixed in a wisp of yang energy, and quickly blasted it towards the creature.
The ghost instinctively tried to dodge, but Lingxi had already anticipated this move and cast the spell with incredible speed.
"ah………"
A sharp, piercing scream, barely audible to most people, rang out.
The sound was comparable to a dozen cars honking their horns at the same time, and Lingxi and Jin Moli inside the house instinctively covered their ears.
Five minutes later, Lingxi's eyebrows were almost furrowed in anger, and she couldn't stand it anymore and shouted, "Shut up!"
"Ouch...it hurts..."
The ghost seemed to be in extreme pain, covering its head with its hands and squatting on the ground.
Jin Moli suddenly looked up, calling out, "Daddy... Daddy..."
Lin Fengjuan thought her granddaughter was scared and missed her father. "Jasmine, we're not afraid, we're not afraid..."
Lin Fengjuan had given up on making the call, and in her heart she was cursing the old Taoist priest to the core.
She couldn't see the thing and didn't know where it was. When she saw Lingya coming, she wanted to quickly call her out.
Unexpectedly, what happened next left her stunned.
Lingxi's face was serious, no longer as gentle as before. Every move she made was like that of a peerless master.
Lin Fengjuan knew her place and kept quiet. As an old woman, it was better for her to stay quiet.
Jin Moli's voice wasn't loud, but it made the person and the ghost outside freeze in place. The ghost's gloom disappeared most of its way under Lingxi's magic, and its mind was also largely restored.
The spirit had returned to its original appearance, that of a chubby middle-aged man.
"Jasmine," it called out unconsciously.
Lingxi: ? ? ? !!!
They look so alike, could this be Jasmine's father, Grandma Lin's son, Jin Jiajun!
"Jasmine, Jasmine, my daughter..."
"Jin Jiajun!"
Hearing her granddaughter call out "Dad," Lin Fengjuan's heart skipped a beat. She opened the door, her lips trembling, and asked, "Ling...girl, what did you say?"
"It's Dad."
Jin Moli followed behind and saw the spirit lying on the ground. She quickly ran over to help her father up.
Her small hand touched his shoulder, but grasped at nothing; her hand passed right through his shoulder.
Jin Moli refused to believe it and tried several more times, but she still couldn't touch it.
She was stunned and collapsed to the ground, tears streaming uncontrollably from her eyes.
With each reduction of the gloom within Jin Jiajun's body, his spirit became more transparent, his consciousness grew clearer, yet he also felt more desperate.
"Mom, Jasmine..."
Jin Jiajun wanted to wipe away Jasmine's tears, but forgot that she was no longer a person and had no right to do so.
For a moment it gave a wry smile and took a few steps back.
Lingxi approached Lin Fengjuan with a complicated expression. "Grandma, would you like to see?"
Lin Fengjuan felt her throat tighten and couldn't utter a word. After a while, she forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and nodded in response.
Lingxi gently pressed two fingers against her eyes, channeling her magic power. Within seconds, her hand was withdrawn.
"alright."
"It can probably last for three hours."
Her voice was soft, calm yet powerful, like heavenly music, bringing hope.
Lin Fengjuan opened her eyes, and after the discomfort subsided slightly, the figure she knew all too well came into view.
"My son!"
Lin Fengjuan's body hunched over immediately. When she actually saw the person, her face still showed disbelief. They had just spoken on the phone a few days ago.
She didn't want to believe what she was seeing was real.
"Mom, your son is unfilial." Jin Jiajun knelt before Lin Fengjuan, his face filled with grief, and made his final arrangements. "After your son is gone, you must take good care of yourself. Jasmine... Jasmine... I entrust my son to you!"
"ah………"
Upon hearing this, Lin Fengjuan could no longer contain her emotions and burst into tears, repeatedly slapping her thighs.
Jin Moli was also silently shedding tears, her big eyes already red and swollen from crying.
Lingxi watched as the gloom on Jin Jiajun's body dissipated completely in less than half an hour, and his soul would return to its pure state. However, returning to its original state also meant that his soul would return to the world.
"Uncle Jin, it's me, Lingxi. I'm sorry I hurt you yesterday."
Jin Jiajun shook his head repeatedly, "My benefactor, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have regained my senses, and I wouldn't be able to see...them."
He didn't know whether to say that the miraculous medicine was good or bad.
He was able to see his relatives without realizing it. Without a powerful figure intervening, his mother and daughter would likely lose their lives at his hands.
Without that miraculous medicine, he would probably have disappeared long ago.
Now, he can't tell whether he should hate or love.
Lingxi paused, wanting to remind them that time was running out, but unsure how to begin.
He glanced at Lingxi's hesitant expression and smiled wryly, "You don't need to say anything more, I know everything."
How could he not know that his time was almost up?
"Mom, I don't have much time left."
Lin Fengjuan cried until her voice was hoarse, then she thought of something: "My son, where are you? I'll go find you and bring you back. Mom will make sure you can return to your roots."
"Also, were you murdered? Tell Mom, and Mom will avenge you." As she spoke, it seemed as if a powerful force was propelling her to stand up.
She would risk her life to bring anyone who dared to harm her son to justice.
Faced with her mother's series of questions, Jin Jiajun's eyes stung a little. Without hiding anything, he quickly said, "It's in the outskirts of S City, not far from an abandoned garbage dump. Speaking of which, it's a long story."
"Just last month, Old Wang from the shop next door suddenly came to me and said he had a way to get a miracle drug that could cure my Jasmine's condition."
"A miracle drug?"
The other three automatically assumed they were swindlers on the street. Jin Jiajun said, "Yes, I was skeptical at first and didn't really believe it. When Fatty Wang saw that I didn't believe him, he chuckled and took me to Old Liu's house at the end of the street. I knew Old Liu's family. They had a daughter with leukemia. To treat their daughter, the couple worked from morning till night every day without a break."
"I don't know why Fatty Wang brought me here. As soon as I asked the question, he had Old Liu call his daughter out."
At this point, Jin Jiajun paused, "His daughter was critically ill in the hospital a few days ago. We neighbors even donated money. That little girl was just skin and bones, and it looked...it looked like she didn't have much time left."
“But when Lao Liu came out with his daughter, he was full of energy and seemed only slightly thinner than other people his age. You couldn’t tell that he couldn’t get out of bed just a few days ago.”
Lin Fengjuan and Ling Xi had already guessed some of it. Lin Fengjuan was somewhat shocked: "There really is such a magical thing... Yes, there are people like Ling Ya and Master Ling. It's not surprising that they have such a divine medicine."
Lingxi was both amused and exasperated.
She has become the unit of measurement.
"I was so excited. I kept pestering Lao Liu for a long time, but he didn't find anything wrong. It was like he could restore a person to normal in an instant, without any side effects. When I left, Lao Wang pulled me away. He told me that he was only one person away from receiving the miracle drug, and he would give it to me so I could help him."
"You helped him?"
Lingxi understands that free things are the most expensive; what seems like a gain actually comes at a price far beyond human imagination.
The more easily the miraculous medicine is obtained, the greater the consequences become.
After Jin Jiajun died, he became an evil spirit. His appearance, filled with yin energy and covered in filth, was obviously very suspicious.
Jin Jiajun nodded. "Yes, I helped him. It's been almost a month since I left Lao Liu's house, and I had almost forgotten about it. Lao Wang came to find me again and took me to a place in the suburbs of S City. In an ordinary residential house, a person wrapped in a black robe came out. Lao Wang went up to him first, said a few words, pointed at me, and the person in the black robe also looked over."
"I don't know what happened, but I felt really panicked. After I went inside, the hall was very empty, and the man in black robes didn't come out. I made an excuse to go to the bathroom. When I came out, I overheard the fat man on the phone saying that the miracle drug was limited and he wanted to use it himself, and he never thought of giving it to me."
"They even tried to steal my family's property." Jin Jiajun gritted his teeth as he mentioned this, wishing he could kill the fat man to pieces. "I was so angry that I made up an excuse that I wanted to see what the divine medicine looked like, and got him to take it out. I took the opportunity to steal the divine medicine when he wasn't paying attention. As a result, before I had taken more than a few steps, I realized something was wrong. That fat bastard had actually poisoned the mouth of the bottle containing the divine medicine."
"He not only wants to steal my money, but he also wants to sacrifice me... to take my life!"
"I………"
