Their shapeless bodies gradually became transparent and their faces distorted.
Because of some obsession, he lingers in the human world and refuses to reincarnate.
The hoarse cry frightened the girl, and her palms became wet with sweat.
Ghosts crawled over in groups, and the scene was extremely terrifying.
Ruan Mian hid timidly behind Mu Feng, her fingertips clutching the man's clothes.
Did they recognize the wrong person?
I have been in Jiyuelin since I was born and don’t know these people.
Mu Feng frowned, the knife flashed, and the ghost's vulnerable figure was shattered by the spiritual power and disappeared into thin air.
When Mr. Zhao learned about it, he was so happy that he sent people to reward him with a lot of silks, satins, jewelry and jade.
"Thank you, Immortal, for getting rid of the evil spirits in Qingshi Town. Now, Zhao can marry Yu'er without any worries."
Mu Feng said directly, "They are just minions. The real evil spirits are still hiding in the dark. We must not take them lightly."
But they had long since stopped listening and felt that with so many monks around, they must be safe.
Ruan Mian returned to Xiyue.
The woman frowned, a hint of confusion on her cold face.
"Junior Sister, there's still Changle Street left that no one is investigating. I can't leave right now, so I'm sorry to bother you."
The girl nodded.
Xiyue's brows relaxed, she patted her hand gently and gave her gentle instructions.
"Be sure to be safe."
Ruan Mian didn't notice that the eyes of the senior sisters next to her were full of gloating.
In this dangerous town of Qingshi, being alone means encountering unpredictable dangers, but she was unaware of it.
"Why don't you go with Song Wenjing? It doesn't seem that simple."
Madoka suggested, climbing from her sleeves and squatting on her shoulders.
"It's okay. I don't believe Senior Sister Xiyue will harm me. Besides, you are here with me."
After hearing this, the little guy didn't feel happy and was unusually silent.
The sky was overcast, the weather was cold, and there were few people on the streets.
The bleak wind blew the withered yellow leaves, and Ruan Mian walked on the ancient and quiet streets.
Ever since the strange incidents occurred, most people in the town have stayed indoors for fear of bringing about unnecessary misfortunes.
The girl met a white-haired old woman who looked tired and did not look like a local.
Her clothes were tattered and her face was covered with deep wrinkles.
Holding a young grandson by the hand, the two of them wandered around the empty streets, as if they had lost their way.
The girl asked, looking too pitiful.
"Old man, are you lost?"
The old woman was leaning on a cane, hunched over and coughing.
"I'm here to look for my granddaughter. She hasn't been home for a long time. We all miss her very much..."
The old woman's surname was Qi. Her white hair was scattered messily on both sides of her cheeks, forming a sharp contrast with her old face.
Ruan Mian told them, "Qingshi Town is not safe these days. You'd better leave as soon as possible."
The little boy looks familiar. Where have you seen him?
He looked thin, and his shoes had a hole in them, revealing his dirty toes. He was still holding the old woman's hand tightly, as if she was his only support and shelter. It was heartbreaking to see him.
The old man smiled and said, "It's okay. We will leave after seeing our granddaughter."
Her noble air could not be concealed by her plain clothes, and Grandma Qi behaved with dignity and courtesy.
He doesn't look like an old man from a poor family, but rather like some wealthy and noble person who lives a life of luxury.
The little boy next to her was named Zhilu. His eyes were wide open, his clothes were too big for him, and he kept staring at Ruan Mian.
There was no way to persuade them to leave, and they didn't look rich, so the girl rented a room for them to live in.
Pushing open the mottled wooden door and entering the farmyard, the thatch on the roof has turned a little yellow.
There is a willow tree in the yard where you can sit under it and enjoy the cool air.
It’s simple but can serve as a temporary resting place, quiet and not noisy.
"Then you will stay here for the time being. Don't run outside. It's very dangerous."
Grandma Qi and Zhilu came together to express their gratitude.
Sitting at the stone table, Ruan Mian asked.
"What's your granddaughter's name?"
The old man thought intently, his cloudy gaze cast into the distance, as if reminiscing.
"I, I don't remember clearly..."
The girl changed the question, "How old is she, and what are her characteristics?"
Grandma Qi shook her head and tucked her pale hair behind her ears.
"It's been so long, I've forgotten."
That would be difficult.
Zhilu stood obediently behind the old man throughout the whole process, and the girl praised him sincerely.
"Your grandson is very well behaved and never makes a fuss."
"I adopted him because I felt sorry for him because he was without a father or mother, so I brought him with me."
Ruan Mian wanted to help the kind-hearted old woman find her long-lost granddaughter.
Grandma Qi carefully took out a scroll from her arms and spread it out on the table.
"Alas, this portrait is all that remains."
The woman in the painting has been eroded by the wear and tear of time.
The paper is yellowed.
Her original appearance can no longer be seen.
However, from a distance, one can sense a sense of indifference, unlike that of an ordinary person.
The woman was wearing a gorgeous dress with gold-trimmed edges and embroidered lotus flowers. Her skin was as white as snow and her manners were graceful.
It was as if she was a princess from an ancient royal family, possessing endless glory and dignity.
How could such a woman marry into the remote Qingshi Town?
Ruan Mian gently rolled it up and put it into the storage bag. "Don't worry, I'll help you find out the news when I get back."
Grandma Qi has a kind face.
"Thank you, little girl."
Zhilu seemed to be hesitating about what to say, but was stopped by the old man.
The girl half squatted down, her eyes level with his, and asked in a soft voice:
