Que Qiaosheng sent Yu Qing downstairs and left.
The express delivery station downstairs was about to close at this time, so she hurried to pick up the package before going home.
In Yu Qing's room, a do not disturb talisman was posted on the door. A circle of jade was placed on the floor near the window, and strands of spiritual power wrapped around the brush in the center.
Half an hour later, it absorbed all the spiritual power. In the eyes of ordinary people, the appearance of the jade did not change, but in fact, the spiritual power contained in it had dimmed.
Yu Qing took back the crimson bone, and now she can only rely on jade or merit to deepen her cultivation.
The next day at school, Yu Qing met the girl who pulled her hair on her way to the classroom.
A girl wearing a mask walked out of the school, going the opposite way from the students going in.
She seemed to have noticed the different gazes as well. She caught a glimpse of Yu Qingshi's slightly stiff expression under the mask, and then he lowered his head and quickened his pace.
"Classmate, don't leave in a hurry."
The girl's clear voice reached her ears, and when she looked up she realized that she had arrived in front of her without her noticing.
The girl clenched her fingers and tried to walk around her, but she saw a hand stretched out and blocked her way.
She raised her head nervously, "What are you going to...do?"
Yu Qing looked at her and said cryptically, "Don't you want to know who's following you?"
The girl was stunned, not understanding how she knew this. She had only told Chen Xianmeng about it. Could it be that Chen Xianmeng told others? That was the only possibility.
“…I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Yu Qing didn't expose her: "I give you this talisman as a token of my gratitude for helping me last time."
Although she didn't need it, the girl was really kind and didn't hand over her hair for fear of accidents. This is a fact, and she owed her a favor in the law of cause and effect.
Her pupils suddenly widened, and something suddenly occurred to her. "You, are you also a master?"
Chen Xianmeng and she are half sisters. Perhaps they both know a little bit of metaphysics, so it is not impossible that they can see things around her.
What puzzled her was that Chen Xianmeng had already helped her, so what did Yu Qing mean?
"This talisman can allow you to see who is following you. When necessary, you can use the talisman paper." After saying this, Yu Qing put the talisman paper into her palm and then walked into the campus.
The girl held the talisman paper in her hand blankly and stood there for a long time before taking a step forward.
Her home is not far from the school, only a ten-minute walk away. She asked for leave today to go home and have a day off. It seems that the things that have been bothering her during this period are gone.
The girl's name is Fang Xi. She is an orphan and was adopted by an old man when she was five years old.
Because of Chen Xianmeng, she carried the talisman given by Yu Qing with her.
Fang Xi didn't know whether she had encountered a ghost or something else, but the items in the house were always changing, and a few times when she came home from school, there was prepared food on the table.
She had no other relatives in Hecheng except her deceased grandfather, until Chen Xianmeng told her that there was a ghost following her and that the ghost wanted to harm her.
It's not that she didn't call the police, but after checking the surveillance, no one entered or left her house, so Fang Xi believed what Shen Xianmeng said. This matter was too supernatural.
I have been exhausted from the torture these days, and I was fired from my part-time job because I didn't show up.
Fang Xi originally planned to rest until the afternoon before going out to look for a job. After her grandfather passed away, she lost her source of income and needed a part-time job to earn a living.
Fortunately, the money her grandfather left her was enough for her to finish college, otherwise she might have dropped out.
After returning home, Fang Xi took out three incense sticks, bowed three times to his grandfather's portrait, and then inserted the incense into the incense burner. When he was about to turn around, the incense suddenly broke.
"Did you buy fake incense?"
She muttered something in a low voice and tentatively took out three new incense sticks. She lit the incense and offered sacrifices without any problem, but the incense broke the moment she inserted it into the incense burner.
Fang Xi frowned slightly, and suddenly thought of what Yu Qing said. Could there be some problem?
She had heard that a broken incense stick was not a good sign, so she checked the unlit incense sticks. No matter how she shook them, they would not break, but only when they were inserted into the incense burner.
Fang Xi checked online and found the two most likely scenarios for the incense being extinguished: the deceased did not accept her incense, so this point should be ruled out first; and her grandfather was still worried about her before he died, so he would not disown her.
Then there is only one last possibility left. The broken incense is a warning that the deceased may have had an accident.
Fang Xiteng stood up from the sofa and ran to her grandfather's portrait. The seventh day had passed, but her grandfather's soul had not left because he couldn't let her go!
She just wanted to get this possibility, otherwise it couldn't be explained at all.
So it was her grandfather's soul that cleaned the house while she was in school and calculated the time to prepare meals. But she asked a master, and he said that ghosts who had just passed away could not touch real objects.
Fang Xi didn't have time to think too much. She just wanted to see with her own eyes whether the person following her was her grandfather.
"Talisman paper! The talisman paper she's talking about!"
Fang Xi took out the talisman given by Yu Qing and held it in her hand anxiously. She didn't say how to use it.
The next second, a ball of negative energy gathered near the corner of the wall and slowly gathered into the shape of an old man.
"grandfather!"
Fang Xi ran to the old man and reached out to touch him but his hand passed through his body.
The old man was in a very bad condition, his face full of pain, his soul and body weak and translucent.
After realizing that Fang Xi could see him, he shook his head: "Don't come over, Grandpa is fine."
After saying this, he almost exhausted all his strength, and his soul became faintly transparent.
There was a thumb-long bone stuck in the old woman's chest. Fang Xi recognized that it was given to her by Chen Xianmeng, who said that if she carried this thing with her, it would drive away the ghost that was haunting her.
She had been carrying the bone with her, but later she couldn't find it. She thought it had worked, but she didn't expect it would harm her grandfather.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry. It's all my fault. I didn't understand clearly and hurt you..."
Fang Xi cried and wanted to hug him. She passed through the old man again and again, fell to the ground and scratched her skin, but she rushed over again regardless of the pain.
"Xiaoxi, it's useless... Blame it on grandpa for not letting you go. Grandpa's existence scares you... You don't know anything, it's not your fault."
“That’s not the case…”
Fang Xi's eyes were filled with tears of despair. If she had known it was her grandfather, she would not have been afraid.
It's all her fault! It's all her stupidity!
The old man smiled weakly at her as if to comfort her, his soul almost unable to hold on and completely dissipated.
'You can use talismans when necessary'
These words echoed in his ears again, and Fang Xi's whole body trembled. He quickly spread out his palms, but before he could figure out how to use them, he found that he had lost control of his body.
Uncontrollably, he placed his hands on the old man's chest.
The talisman paper merged with the old man's soul, and a faint golden light enveloped him, slowly devouring the black fog that was entangled in his heart.
The bone inserted into the heart was pulled out inch by inch and finally fell to the ground.
The old man's soul gradually became less transparent and almost solidified into a solid entity.
