Chapter 236 Five Ghosts Moving the Mountain
But he didn't say anything. He still stood quietly beside Bai Yangfan, letting the cold air surround him.
After a while, when the candle was halfway burned, Bai Yangfan spoke, looking at the empty space not far away: "After eating for so long, you should have the energy to speak now, right?"
Lu Jingheng: “…”Who are you talking to? Why can’t I see anything?
Bai Yangfan: “…” You don’t have your third eye, so of course you can’t see. I’m talking to a man and a woman opposite, just stand there and don’t move.
If Lu Jingheng could see, he would know that the person opposite was a young man and woman, wearing student uniforms from the Republic of China era. The man had a gentle appearance, and the woman was well-behaved and petite.
The two of them were smoking incense desperately as if they hadn't eaten for hundreds of years. Bai Yangfan was both afraid and reluctant to give up the incense and candles that they hadn't enjoyed for a long time.
In her previous life, Bai Yangfan had learned everything from various sources to complete missions. She was able to complete missions that others couldn't because she possessed so many skills. No matter the dire circumstances, she would always find a way to kill her target and successfully complete the mission.
Just like tonight.
Since she really couldn't find any clues, she decided to ask some wandering ghosts.
There are some things that people may not be able to do, and there is no reason to find out, but there are some things that can be done. Once done, it will leave a trace.
No matter what method is used to find these traces, as long as it is accurate and useful.
The two ghosts looked at each other for several times. When they saw that the incense and candles were almost burned out, they floated down contentedly and stood not far in front of Bai Yangfan.
Having been wild ghosts for a long time, they also knew that the girl in front of them was not easy to deal with and was not someone they could easily deal with.
The man raised his head and asked Bai Yangfan, "Ask whatever you want! Since you brought us incense and candles, I'll tell you everything I know."
The woman nodded with a shy smile on her face: "Thank you for feeding us a full meal. This is the fullest we have eaten in the past fifty years."
Bai Yangfan crossed his arms and looked at the ghosts of the man and woman from the Republic of China indifferently: "Are you husband and wife?"
"Yes, and no." The man glanced at the woman with a sad expression. "My family is relatively poor. Bifang's parents don't like me and want to marry her to an official."
The woman named Bifang also had a sad face: "That man is already 52 years old. If I marry him, I won't be the main wife, but the twelfth concubine. I disagreed and jumped into the river. Qinghuai found out and jumped in with him. So we became a ghost couple."
Qing Huai held Bi Fang's hand, his eyes full of love: "We don't want to be caught by the ghost and reincarnated, we don't want to be separated from each other, and we don't want to forget the past, forget each other, and become lonely ghosts hiding from place to place.
There used to be a land temple here, and we often came here secretly to burn incense and candles. Over time, this place became our home."
Lu Jingheng listened to Bai Yangfan talking to herself, and then saw her staring at the opposite side, as if she was chatting with someone.
He tried to open his eyes wide, but he still saw nothing.
However, he listened to the woman very much and remained silent. He did not disturb Bai Yangfan and just stood aside waiting quietly.
"What did you see last night?" After learning about the ghost couple's experience, Bai Yangfan didn't waste any words and went straight to the point. "Did you see a safe fly away automatically? Or did you see anything else?"
When talking about last night, the ghost couple shuddered, with an expression as if they wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
Bai Yangfan dared to conclude that they must have seen something, otherwise they would not be like this now.
"As long as you tell me the truth, I will come every now and then to burn paper money and light incense for you. If you don't tell me, I have plenty of ways to make you disappear into ashes."
It is important to use both kindness and severity when dealing with such things. If you indulge them blindly without any means to punish them, these evil things will not tell the truth and will harm people.
Don't they really want to be together? Don't they want to be apart? How can they stay together if everything turns to ashes? Grab their weak spots and hit them hard. I don't believe they can resist.
Sure enough, when they heard that they were going to be reduced to ashes, Qinghuai and Bifang trembled with fear and both knelt at Bai Yangfan's feet, begging desperately.
Qing Huai: "Master! It's not that we don't want to tell you, it's that man and the things he got are too powerful. If we tell you, we're afraid he'll come and cause trouble for us."
Bifang nodded immediately, "What that man attracted is not something that ordinary people can provoke, Master! We have said, do you have a way to save our lives?"
"Just tell me." Bai Yangfan hated bargaining with people, not ghosts, and said with a displeased look, "No matter what happens, it's impossible to blame you. As long as I know where that person is, I will definitely kill him."
Lu Jingheng, who was standing next to him, was almost stunned. He felt that his woman was too powerful. Did she find the whereabouts of the safe? Even if he didn't hear what the two ghosts said, he heard what Bai Yangfan said.
He suppressed the ecstasy in his heart. If the woman had not told him not to move, he would have wanted to jump around on the spot or even run around the place a few times.
It would be best if he could carry his woman on his shoulders, or hold her in his arms and go crazy with him.
His woman was too capable and too powerful, even better than himself. To be honest, he had never tried to use this method to find the target he wanted.
It's too weird and unbelievable to say.
But if it works and can help us find the whereabouts of the safe, why bother with so much?
If I wasn't afraid that the woman would hate him, I really wanted to hold her in my arms and love her dearly.
His woman is so outstanding, so outstanding that it makes people jealous.
Qing Huai and Bi Fang looked at each other, the former hesitantly saying, "That man is a Taoist priest, quite powerful indeed. He knows how to use magic to get that safe you mentioned out."
"Magic?" Bai Yangfan raised an eyebrow. "What magic?"
Bifang quickly answered, "Five ghosts moving a mountain."
"What?" Bai Yangfan was stunned. His expression finally grew serious. He looked at Bifang, "Are you serious? Did you look closely? Was that person using the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains spell?"
Lu Jingheng, who was standing next to him, was completely confused. Five Ghosts Moving Mountains? What does Five Ghosts Moving Mountains mean? Shouldn't it be Five Ghosts Bringing Wealth?
Someone used magic to take away safe number 19 without anyone knowing?
"We weren't mistaken," Qing Huai added. "I watched carefully. The Taoist priest used the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains spell. The Five Ghosts are very powerful. They're not just ordinary ghosts. They must be hellish beasts from the underworld."
The Five Ghosts Moving Mountains and the Taoist Who Moves Mountains belong to the Maoshan School. Bai Yangfan herself learned Maoshan magic, and the Taoist priest who taught her back then also taught her some basic spells.
The Five Ghosts Bringing Wealth is actually a feng shui arrangement, but the Five Ghosts Moving Mountains is a real way to secretly take away what you want using magic. Bai Yangfan did not learn those more advanced magic techniques.
One is that it is too difficult to learn, and the other is that she doesn't want to learn.
