Jingyan sat down as well. "You only need to become an apprentice. You don't need to do anything else. As for what I'll teach you, it's nothing more than meditation and practicing some minor spells to capture wandering ghosts..."
Xiao Li was even more surprised. Did these wandering ghosts really exist in this world? And what about magic?
As a Red Flag Youth who has received many years of education, she is an atheist. Can she believe it?
Could this nun be a fraud? Thinking of news reports about human traffickers abducting people to remote mountains, Xiao Li became wary.
Seeing that the girl didn't believe her, Jingyan thought for a moment and pointed to the tree next to Xiao Li.
"Look, there's a hanged ghost here. Her tongue is so long it's hanging down right at your feet."
Xiao Li felt a chill run down his spine, and instantly felt his feet getting cold.
"Isn't it cold? She's licking the back of your foot with her tongue."
Xiao Li jumped up instantly, ran quickly to Jing Yan's side, and hugged her arm tightly.
Seeing that her little face had turned pale with fright, Jingyan quickly comforted her gently.
"Don't be afraid. She died unjustly and never harmed anyone, whether in life or in death. I've known her for over ten years. She's just a little mischievous. She's only a teenager, just like you."
Xiao Li calmed down, but she still clung tightly to Jing Yan's sleeve, refusing to let go.
"Master, this place is deserted. Could she also be a student of our school?"
Jingyan nodded. "It should be. She was murdered, but her soul is attached to this tree and cannot leave."
Xiao Li immediately became curious, "What's her name? Maybe the school can find it."
"She said her name was Bai Zhi and that she was a student in the Chinese Department of Asakawa University."
Xiao Li became excited; she had heard of this name before.
Asakawa University is located near mountains and forests, so there are many legends and stories about mountain spirits and monsters, or enchanting spirits and monsters.
This Angelica dahurica is the subject of a legendary, bizarre disappearance case.
Back then, a group of Chinese literature students went hiking together. When they reached the top of the mountain, they discovered that Bai Zhi was missing.
The school mobilized many people to search, but they still couldn't find it. I heard that the police were also involved, but they still couldn't find any clues.
There are many versions of this story; some say that the monster captured and ate the person.
Some say she was captured by a mountain bandit king and made his wife.
Some say he fell off a cliff and died.
Some say they got lost and died deep in the mountains.
Some even say she was sold to a remote area to be someone's wife.
To my utter surprise, she appeared here, just a few kilometers from the campus.
"Master, did she say who killed her?"
Jingyan nodded, "They are her roommates, the group of people who went hiking with her."
“Those people were a gang. After they went up the mountain, they strangled her to death on this tree, buried her, and then went to climb the mountain.”
It was drizzling that day, and it rained heavily at night, which is why the police didn't find any traces for several days.
Xiao Li was shocked. She had heard of these people and that they were all very sad after returning home.
Over the years, he has also frequently visited Bai Zhi's parents and helped her take care of them.
Jingyan looked at the big tree before slowly beginning to speak.
Bai Zhi said that her parents were very wealthy and did not need anyone to take care of them. She was afraid that those people had other plans.
Xiao Li immediately understood. Those roommates must have killed Bai Zhi because her family was wealthy, and then used the pretense of taking care of the elderly to gain entry into her home.
Their current achievements are probably only possible because of the Bai family; these people are terrifying.
Jingyan sighed, "It must be. Baizhi is an only child, and her parents dote on her. Because of this love, they are also very generous to her roommate. It must have been her roommate who became greedy and decided to kill her."
Xiao Li almost burst into tears; Bai Zhi and the Bai family were just too pitiful.
Do you want to help her?
Jingyan saw Xiaoli's compassion.
Xiao Li felt a little helpless. How could she help? She couldn't even see Bai Zhi.
Jingyan took out a small bottle from her bag, poured some into her hand, and then smeared it on Xiaoli's eyes and ears.
This is cow tears; applying it will allow you to see ghosts temporarily.
Xiao Li instantly felt a cool sensation in her eyes and ears, and she instinctively closed her eyes.
When I opened my eyes again, I saw a girl in light blue sportswear standing under the tree.
"Hello, I am Bai Zhi."
The girl smiled slightly, and Xiao Li was somewhat amazed. No wonder she was the most beautiful girl in the department back then.
“They’ve taken advantage of my parents’ feelings and gained too much over the years. I’m going to make them give it all back.”
Bai Zhi spoke as if she were telling someone else's story.
"I just want them to receive the punishment they deserve. As for my parents, I want to go to their dreams and tell them."
Bai Zhi then turned to Jing Yan and said, "Over the years, if it weren't for your constant comforting words, I would probably have become a vengeful ghost long ago and wouldn't have had the chance to be reincarnated."
Now that my time has come and this matter is settled, I must depart.
Jingyan remained silent, only reciting a mantra for calming the mind.
Xiao Li promised Bai Zhi he would take her home. Jing Yan performed a spell, took a section of tree trunk, and gave it to Xiao Li.
"This technique can protect you for three days. You only have three days. It's rare that Bai Zhi is willing to end this karma and be reincarnated. You must protect her."
Xiao Li nodded; she definitely would.
Although Jingyan did not receive any apprentices, she believed that Xiao Li would come again in the future.
Xiao Li returned to school, quickly took leave, bought plane tickets, and took Bai Zhi back to the Bai family.
She checked into a hotel near the Bai family's residence, and that evening, Bai Zhi returned home alone.
Bai Zhi returned that night, her eyes red-rimmed but her expression cheerful, clearly pleased to see her parents.
“Xiao Li, my parents are doing well. I have a younger brother and sister. They are twins, so I can rest assured.”
After Bai Zhi disappeared, the two elderly people were heartbroken for a long time, but eventually they accepted the fact.
By chance, the two elderly people came into contact with the IVF industry. They had money and time, and a year later, they had twins.
As for the roommates, they obtained a lot of resources from the Bai family, but now that the Bai family knows the truth, they will surely face retribution soon.
Xiao Li stayed at the hotel for two days. On the third day, the two of them left and returned to the Lotus Temple.
Jingyan said she wanted to perform a ritual to help Baizhi pass on to the afterlife, so Xiaoli stayed to watch. Before she knew it, she had already come to regard Jingyan as her master.
Jingyan set up the incense table, lit incense and offered sacrifices. She muttered incantations and recited scriptures continuously, and Baizhi's entire soul radiated a peaceful aura.
A moment later, Xiao Li saw a dark portal open, emanating a chilling aura. A light, floating figure emerged and led Bai Zhi away.
Xiao Li didn't dare to move. She felt that this completely overturned her understanding. It wasn't until Jing Yan got up that Xiao Li came back to her senses.
“Master, I am willing to become your disciple. Please accept me.”
Jingyan smiled and nodded; she had finally found an heir.
