The slap woke me up; seeing the pristine white wall, tears instantly streamed down my face.
I really want to go back, I really want to go back and make it up to the children.
I wonder if that 'self' is this little girl.
If it really is this little girl, then it's truly a tragedy.
It's a shame that the young girl suffered for him, but thankfully he returned to his forty-five-year-old self. If he had returned to his seventy-year-old self, it would have been even more tragic.
Grandma Tao spent several days in deep self-reproach before finally calming herself down.
I stopped thinking about so many unnecessary things and returned to my quiet life.
One day, I suddenly felt someone watching me.
When I looked back, there was no one there.
At that moment, Grandma Tao suddenly remembered her dream.
At that moment, it suddenly occurred to me: could it be that the 'self' in that world was dreaming just like me?
Thinking of this, Grandma Tao couldn't help but get excited.
He looked straight at the place he had just noticed.
But this time I didn't feel it.
So, Grandma Tao began visiting temples in various places.
It wasn't a frantic, aimless search; rather, it involved checking travel guides and local cuisine online.
Then slowly go to the temples, or specifically choose the first and fifteenth of the lunar month to visit the temples.
However, none of the masters could see the difference in themselves.
By the end of the year, Grandma Tao had visited every temple she could.
But we gained nothing; temples these days are too commercialized.
Grandma Tao sighed. Since the temples weren't working, she might as well go to a Taoist temple or a local earth god temple.
There are far fewer Taoist temples compared to Buddhist temples.
Although there are many local temples, you can't just worship at any one of them. In the end, when there was nowhere left to worship, I passed by an abandoned city god temple.
As if possessed, Grandma Tao went inside, took three incense sticks from her bag, and placed three apples on the ground while muttering incantations.
"Your Majesty, I don't know what happened, but I suddenly became someone else. This little girl in the body might have become me. It's so unfair to her..." Old Mrs. Tao rambled on and on.
But the City God Temple didn't react at all, so he couldn't help but laugh at himself, "I'm really grasping at straws when I'm desperate. If the City God Temple had any real power, it wouldn't be in such a dilapidated state." After saying that, he put the apple into his bag.
After Old Lady Tao left, the statue in the City God Temple suddenly moved.
Then came the shocked question: "Look at you, you incompetent fool, now you're being laughed at." The judge couldn't help but tease the City God.
"You have the nerve to laugh at me? At least I have a house on a hill, but you don't even have a temple. I don't know where you get the courage." The City God looked at the judge with utter contempt.
"I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm not proud of myself. So what if you have a temple? You still can't get any offerings," the judge said gloatingly.
"Didn't it just happen? What's wrong with the people below? What's wrong with this person? Shouldn't this old lady have been driven to her death by her children? How did she end up in the wrong body?" The City God said angrily, with a hint of imposing authority.
"If anyone knows, I'll call the person up and check." The judge immediately began the interrogation.
It turned out he was a newly recruited ghost messenger.
So they summoned the man and asked him.
The ghost messenger was trembling with fear; this was a serious matter that could potentially cause his soul to be scattered.
"Yes, sir, it was my mistake. Both of them were named Tao Ying, and their auras were very similar. They both died of myocardial infarction. I accidentally took the wrong soul. But once the body leaves the soul, it cannot return to the original body for seventy-two hours. The old Tao Ying has been dead for three days. I wanted the modern Tao Ying to go into the old Tao Ying's body first, but due to my lack of skill, I sent her to the middle age of the old Tao Ying." The ghost messenger said tremblingly.
"You are being punished for helping Old Lady Tao, and you have been sent back to her time," the City God Temple said.
"Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir." The ghost messenger immediately replied.
Then they went to find Grandma Tao.
They didn't dare to openly approach Old Mrs. Tao, so they began to learn about her.
The plan is to infiltrate slowly, then find a way to directly transfer the two of them over.
The City God didn't want to see him anymore and waved for him to leave.
The ghost messengers ran away instantly, fearing that if they were a step too slow, they would be crushed to death by the City God.
The City God's lips curled slightly as he continued his banter with the judge.
Meanwhile, the ghost messengers quickly found Old Lady Tao.
Grandma Tao is staying at a hotel not far from here.
The ghost messengers arrived around 6 PM, but Old Lady Tao was still awake.
"Isn't it said that old people go to bed early?" the ghost messenger muttered under his breath.
Then he leaned against the side and waited, hoping that Grandma Tao would fall asleep so he could tell her about it in her dream.
As a result, he slept straight until dawn, and couldn't help but slap himself hard.
How did I fall asleep so easily?
What should we do? If this isn't handled properly, the City God might skin him alive.
The ghost messenger was on the verge of collapse. This time, he dared not sleep, nor dared to say anything more.
I'm afraid that something might go wrong and cause further problems; that would be a real disaster.
So he simply followed behind Grandma Tao.
If Old Lady Tao could sense 'herself,' there's no reason she wouldn't be able to detect the even more sinister ghost messenger.
Having already died once, and with her advanced mental age, Old Mrs. Tao wasn't afraid at all.
I know that this time it's not 'myself', so I don't know if it's some kind of bad guy.
He immediately took out various talismans from his bag, spread them all over the bed, and lay down in the center of the talismans.
I don't know if it will work well, but it gives me peace of mind.
The ghost messenger's lips twitched as he looked at the yellow, colorful talismans.
I don't know where these came from; none of them are impressive.
These two sisters are really something else.
The ghost messenger followed Old Lady Tao for several blocks.
As a result, Old Lady Tao led the ghost messengers directly to her usual pillow.
After taking the pillow back, Grandma Tao felt much better.
I didn't want to go to sleep that night, but I couldn't resist and fell asleep right away.
Upon seeing that Grandma Tao had fallen asleep, the ghost messenger instantly entered her dream.
I'm afraid that if I wait a little longer, the old lady might wake up again, and then what will I do?
Moreover, the first thing he said in the dream was to Old Lady Tao.
"What's wrong with you? Don't you know you can't just tattle on others? What can't you tell me? Look at you now, you're dumbfounded." The ghost messenger started to berate Old Lady Tao.
Grandma Tao wanted to speak, but she couldn't utter a word. In the end, she simply closed her eyes and refused to look at that blue-faced, fanged face.
