Since they needed a wooden container and didn't have time to buy a coffin, Ji Qian and his friends decided to take advantage of the program's promotional materials.
Among the set props brought by the production team were several wooden boxes. Ji Qian and Zhao Chengyuan disassembled the boxes together and then used wooden planks to assemble a simple coffin.
These items were originally meant to be redeemed with points, but because Xu Qi frequently came to the warehouse to chat with Lao Wang, Lao Wang made things easy for them.
Old Wang not only provided wooden crates, nails, and other tools free of charge, but also 'accidentally' left the excavator key for the production crew on the table.
With the help of modern technology, Ji Qian and his team moved at lightning speed, and soon dug thirteen deep pits of varying sizes next to Qian Handuo's grave.
The old Taoist priest was placed in the middle of the thirteen pits by Ji Qian. Looking at the surrounding pits, his feelings were extremely complicated:
"I suspect you are targeting me."
Ji Qian was busy moving the other skeletons from the bamboo forest. Faced with the old Taoist's questioning, she didn't try to hide anything, but simply offered a perfunctory reassurance:
"Don't worry, it'll be over soon anyway."
The old Taoist priest assumed she was talking about performing a ritual for the deceased, so he didn't ask any further questions.
After moving the last body, Ji Qian pulled Xu Qi and ran into the distant fields.
"Do we really have to hide here?" Smelling the pure, natural fertilizer scent emanating from the fields, Xu Qi subconsciously covered his nose.
"There's nothing we can do; this is the only piece of land in the area that doesn't belong to the Qian family."
Ji Qian adapted well to the smell of fertilizer; she had endured far worse environments before, when she was trying to escape ghosts.
"Let's get down to business first. Are you sure this trick will send that old Taoist priest away?"
"Of course!"
Xu Qi was clearly very confident about this:
"That old man has done so many bad things, and he still wants to be reincarnated? We have to let him experience the dangers of modern society!"
As soon as the old Taoist priest mentioned the method of deliverance, Ji Qian sensed something was wrong, so after returning to her room in the early morning, she made a special trip to ask Xu Qi.
As expected, if the old Taoist priest's explanation was followed and the exorcism was performed, all the negative karma he had accumulated would be returned to Ji Qian.
Because Ji Qian is a rare person immune to metaphysics, the ones who will ultimately suffer are all the living people present except for Ji Qian.
As for the old Taoist priest who actually committed the sin of killing, he will enter the stage of reincarnation and drawing blind boxes without any debts.
If he's lucky, he might even be reborn into a wealthy family and leave his past behind completely.
Ji Qian would certainly not allow this to happen. After all, just by looking at the black aura emanating from the old Taoist priest in the sunlight, one could tell that the sins he had committed were not limited to the Youqian family alone.
The old Taoist priest stood in the sun for a full four hours before he finally managed to dispel the black aura from his body.
Ji Qian wrapped the old Taoist priest and his severed limbs together with scraps of cloth, and then tied them tightly with rope.
During the process, the old Taoist priest tried to ask questions, but after asking them, he quickly fainted due to his poor mental state.
Just as the old Taoist priest had said before, he should have completely lost consciousness at this point.
But in order for him to be able to feel everything that was about to happen, Ji Qian deliberately placed a few straws that Qian Huailin had possessed under him to increase the yin energy in the vicinity.
After tying the old Taoist priest up, Ji Qian didn't rush to bury him in the coffin. Instead, she asked the assistant director to bring over a huge steel machine.
Apart from Ji Qian and Xu Qi, most of the people present had never seen this thing before.
Only Ying Xu, who had worked at the market during his school days, recognized the thing somewhat, though he wasn't entirely sure, given how much bigger it was than the one he'd seen before.
"Um... Sister Qian, is this a slicer?"
"Ah, yes, I bought it specifically from a nearby factory."
While answering Ying Xu's questions, Ji Qian forcefully lifted the old Taoist priest, who was wrapped like a mummy, onto the machine.
Zhao Chengyuan stood to the side, dumbfounded: "You're not going to slice him into pieces, are you?"
Ji Qian first gave him an appreciative look, and then slowly explained:
“He specifically came to see me last night and insisted that I do this, because only in this way could the yin energy on his body be completely released. I had no choice.”
Han Mengyao already knew she couldn't stop Ji Qian, and she's already gone to Director Liu to discuss how to beautify this part of the shot.
The Qian family was overjoyed by the old Taoist priest's misfortune; if they hadn't already become ghosts, they would have certainly set off firecrackers to celebrate.
As the slicer roared, the old Taoist priest's body gradually entered the machine. Mi Yesi covered her eyes in fear, and even Zhao Chengyuan turned his head away to avoid the scene.
Surprisingly, instead of the expected bloody slices of meat, the other end of the slicer emitted puffs of black mist and shredded strips of cloth and rope.
Standing beside the slicer, Ji Qian looked at the black mist drifting in the wind and couldn't help but sigh:
"This guy really hasn't done a single good deed."
As the slicer gradually stopped running, only a few pieces of hemp rope and a pile of rags remained in the coffin located at the meat outlet.
Ji Qian placed the coffin in the middle of the pit, casually wrote the character 'seal' on it, and then buried it.
Han Mengyao, who had just returned to the scene, had already heard about what had just happened. She took off her microphone, leaned over to Ji Qian with a curious look, and whispered, "What was that all about?"
"It's just a simple, utterly devastating trick," Ji Qian replied, her hands still busy filling the hole with soil. She even jumped up and down after each layer to make sure it was firmly packed.
After dealing with the most difficult old Taoist priest, Ji Qian walked up to the Qian family and said, "Your family isn't any better. Choose between losing an arm or a leg."
Upon hearing this, the Qian family members exchanged bewildered glances, as they had assumed Ji Qian would simply send them to be reincarnated.
Qian Huailin knew why Ji Qian said that. Although his parents' actions were indeed unethical, they were still his blood relatives.
"Miss Ji, could you let me take full responsibility for these matters?"
Ji Qian couldn't help but laugh out loud upon hearing this: "Don't worry, you'll definitely get your share."
After speaking, she looked at Qian Handuo and Qian Hanying:
"You two haven't done anything wrong, you can be reincarnated directly, Xu Qi!"
At Ji Qian's command, Xu Qi lit incense. Since Qian Handuo and Qian Hanying had already been buried, there was no need to bury them again.
Xu Qi recited a Taoist scripture earnestly in front of his precious little incense burner, and Qian Handuo vanished into thin air.
The small wooden carving that Qian Hanying possessed tilted its head and fell into Madam Qian's hand.
Seeing that Madam Qian and Master Qian were hesitant to express their opinions, Ji Qian decisively made the decision for them.
Ji Qian picked out the left and right arms from the two corpses and placed the two bones in front of the two ghosts.
Ji Qian was quite pleased with her clever choice: "I see that you two have a good relationship. Since one of you is missing, you can continue to help each other in the next life. Isn't that wonderful!"
