Master Sanyang nodded: "The yin energy in your mansion is indeed strong; there is probably more than one little ghost in your mansion."
Wenwu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Changfeng was right and the one who made the move wasn't Yueniang?
"Has something important happened at your residence?" Master Sanyang inquired.
Wen Wuquan glanced at Changfeng and gestured for him to speak.
Changfeng stepped forward and said, "To be honest, Daoist, two people have died in the past two days, and their deaths were particularly horrific, not the work of a human. So, I asked you to come and see what happened. If it is indeed the work of a vengeful ghost, I beg you to subdue this ghost and restore peace to the manor."
Master Sanyang smiled and nodded, stroking his beard: "That's only natural. I travel the world, taking it upon myself to subdue demons and monsters, so I certainly won't stand idly by at a time like this."
"Master!" Wenwu hesitated for a moment before saying, "Please, Master, do not kill her. Try your best to subdue her. After the ritual, send her to be reincarnated."
Master Sanyang was surprised for a moment, then laughed and said, "Your Excellency has the heart of a bodhisattva. In all my years of traveling around, this is the first time I have encountered someone who told me not to kill a vengeful ghost and to help it reincarnate. In the past, all the people I knew asked me to punish the vengeful ghosts severely so that they would never be able to be reborn."
At this point, Master Sanyang laughed heartily: "This is not something I should do. Millions of people die in this world, but not all of them become vengeful ghosts. Some die because of hatred, some because of resentment, and some because they linger in the mortal world out of selfish desires. How could I have the right to make those with hatred and resentment vanish? It's just that they have killed too many people and committed too many sins, so this humble Taoist has no choice but to take action!"
Master Sanyang sighed and shook his head.
Wenwu was relieved: "Then tonight, please ask the Taoist priest to take a look and see what kind of ghost is causing trouble here."
Some things need to be understood.
Wenwu Quan's actions of having Changfeng invite Daoist Sanyang into the mansion could not be kept secret from Meng Shi in the backyard.
She angrily smashed the porcelain in the room: "What exactly is the master trying to do? Inviting a charlatan to our mansion, isn't he afraid of being laughed at by the people outside? Who is he to be associating with these people?"
"Xiao Hong, do you think he's changed his taste now? Does he no longer like young and beautiful girls and prefer those old men?" Meng asked blankly, combing her long black hair.
The people around her did not react.
Meng was still pondering why he wouldn't come to keep her company if it wasn't for this reason.
They were a lawfully wedded couple, but now they're treated worse than strangers; her deep affection for him is never reciprocated.
Wasn't she beautiful? In her youth, she was a renowned beauty in the capital, with suitors lining up around the walls of her residence, including many talented young men.
At first, she fell for her childhood sweetheart cousin and was determined to become his wife. She did so much for him, but in the end, all she got was this title.
“Xiao Hong, what do you think he’s thinking? What’s so great about that Yue Niang that he still can’t forget her after all these years? I’m prettier and smarter than her, and even my cousin’s feelings for me are stronger. What is it that he can’t compare to her in?”
The people around her still didn't react.
Meng probably didn't expect any reaction from her; she just kept rambling on and on to herself.
