Still clinging to a sliver of hope, I pointed to the bruises on my face.
"Master, is it possible to resolve this mark directly here?"
"If I could solve it, I would have done it for you just now. The one who tied the knot must untie it. You really have no choice but to go to Anning Girls' High School."
The night was as dark as ink.
Our group visited Anning Girls' High School again.
As for why they didn't come during the day, Li Huai also asked.
Master Zhang Qingxiao explained that during the day, all the strange occurrences at Anning Girls' High School would be kept hidden as much as possible, just like any other ordinary school.
Upon closer reflection, it makes sense. If the high school were haunted during the daytime, how could it possibly have such a high college entrance rate?
"This is it, Master."
I pointed to the section of the wall where the cemetery was located.
With my master in charge this time, I felt much more at ease, but the chilly atmosphere in the air still made my skin feel a little tight.
Master Zhang Qingxiao did not rush in. He stood outside the wall, his eyes slightly closed, his hands forming a hand seal, and he chanted incantations.
Luo Tianhe, Li Huai, and I exchanged a glance.
See, this is what professionalism is!
He didn't keep us waiting long. He opened his eyes, a flash of clear light passing through them, and coldly snorted:
"Such heavy yin and resentment! If you ask me, why build a girls' school? Women should just stay at home, be good wives and mothers. How could a normal school have such a deep-rooted resentment!"
I frowned slightly. My master was a bit old-fashioned, and seemed to have a slight preference for sons over daughters. Thinking of what I'd read online, I tentatively asked:
"Master, are you perhaps from Lu?"
My master turned and glanced at me, then nodded in an annoyed tone.
"Do you think I'm sexist? I was just angry and said something a bit harsh. The number of female students who have died here is terrifying. If they had just stayed at home, they wouldn't have died."
"Forget it, let's not talk about it. Let's go in and have a chat."
After saying that, Master Zhang Qingxiao swayed and floated over the two-meter-high wall as lightly as a falling leaf, leaving us dumbfounded.
"Chen Yan, if you were half as good as your master, we wouldn't be being chased by ghosts every day."
Luo Tianhe looked at me with a sigh.
Master is indeed awesome, but Luo Tianhe's words are like farts.
What do you mean I'm being chased by ghosts every day? That's called a strategic retreat, okay? And it's not every day. I can handle most ghosts; they're just overlooked by Luo Tianhe.
I cursed a few times, and when I stepped on Luo Tianhe to climb over the wall, I deliberately stomped on him.
Seeing how slowly we were climbing over the wall, Master Zhang Qingxiao glared at me:
"Even climbing over a wall is difficult."
I chuckled a few times, knowing that he was doing it for my own good, so I naturally didn't argue back.
“Stay close to me and don’t stray more than seven paces from me.”
The Taoist priest gave us some instructions, and we nodded vigorously.
The cemetery remains the same, but as Master Zhang Qingxiao walks among it, his seemingly casual steps actually follow a certain pattern.
Wherever he went, the whispers and sense of being watched that lurked in the shadows quietly disappeared.
"Chen Yan, light the incense you brought and stick it in the ground as a way of making up for the toll."
As we walked out of the cemetery, Zhang Qingxiao suddenly looked at me and gave me an order. I responded, took out some incense, lit it, and respectfully stuck it into the ground.
This cemetery is indeed strange, but the last time we passed through here, it didn't cause us any trouble at all.
As the incense was lit, the air seemed to cool down a bit, and the speed at which it burned was astonishing.
"Let's go. What's the point of watching other people eat?"
The Taoist priest flicked his sleeve and walked forward, and the three of us hurriedly followed.
When we arrived at the place we had visited before, we were stunned.
The girls' dormitory building is gone.
"How could that be? I was definitely here last time."
Li Huai exclaimed incredulously, then ran to the open space and gestured.
"I remember the tree next to it, but what about the dormitory building? How could it have disappeared? Brother Yan, Brother Luo, am I remembering wrong?"
My throat tightened, and an overwhelming fear surged within me. I had been so focused on finding Bai Yin that I had overlooked this eerie Anning Girls' High School!
"Calm down!"
The Taoist priest's voice echoed in my ears, and I came to my senses, realizing that I was covered in sweat.
"Master, that building... that building is gone!"
My voice was hoarse and filled with despair. I couldn't find Baiyin, and the bruises on my face would kill me sooner or later!
"Hehe, don't worry. You have things she left behind on you, and she has things you left behind on her. The karma between you is so strong, how could you not find her?"
A glimmer of hope flashed in my eyes.
Yes, my three-edged bone needle is still with her, and she left this bruise on my body.
"Master, how can we find her?"
I looked at my master. Since he said that, he must have a way to help me find her.
Sure enough, Zhang Qingxiao took out a piece of white silk.
"Drip your blood onto it, grab the end of the white silk ribbon, being careful not to grab the wrong one, and then silently recite Bai Yin's birth date and time. Note that no matter who you feel is walking in front of you, just follow them. Also, you cannot speak to anyone before the white silk ribbon breaks. Once you open your mouth, you will be noticed by the ghost messengers of the underworld, and then you won't be able to come back."
I now have complete trust in Master Zhang Qingxiao. Hearing him say that, I didn't hesitate to bite my tongue and spit out a mouthful of blood onto the white silk.
Then, I silently recited Bai Yin's birth date and time in my mind. Suddenly, I saw Bai Yin appear in front of me, grab the other end of the white silk, and lead me forward.
It's white yin!
I almost shouted it out, but thankfully I reacted at the last moment.
In Luo Tianhe's eyes, there was no Bai Yin; the piece of white silk stained with blood floated up out of thin air.
He exchanged a glance with Li Huai and silently followed behind me.
They had all heard what the Taoist priest said, and they knew perfectly well that they must not speak to me.
If I reply, my life will be in danger.
In the darkness of night, Bai Yin led the way into the depths of my girls' school, passing one building after another along the way: the library, the laboratory building. Each building stood like a giant tombstone in the overgrown campus.
I was a little distracted, and when I came to my senses, my eyes widened instantly, and I almost shouted out loud.
The white shadow that was just holding my hand has disappeared, replaced by Master Jin.
He was still in the same dead state. When he saw that I had noticed him, he turned around and grinned, revealing a mouthful of yellow teeth.
I was taken aback and instinctively wanted to ask a question, but thankfully I held back.
Damn it, this son of a bitch is too insidious. He even brought out Master Jin. He just wants me to speak, he just wants me to die.
I made up my mind that I wouldn't say a word no matter what I saw.
