Chapter 235
"Everything will be fine after tonight." Jin Chaochao glanced at the child. He was lively and cute. Even at such a young age, he took the initiative to take the fruit on the table and handed it to her.
She took the fruit and put it on the table, then reached out and touched the child's head. "How cute! Mr. Zhang, I want to build an orphanage on this land, and I'll need your care in the future."
"Really?" Zhang Ruoming took out his treasured wine, ecstatic, "I didn't expect you to be so loving at such a young age."
Jin Chaochao smiled: "I want to do my best to help the society. I hope this orphanage can be a warm home for these poor children."
"Just because of what you said, I will definitely protect you in this place from now on." Zhang Ruoming patted his chest and promised.
At dinner, Jin Chaochao accompanied Zhang Ruoming for two drinks, which was a very necessary social interaction.
Zhang Ruoming is the village chief. In his territory, if he can take care of her a little, she can save a lot of trouble.
Wait until twelve o'clock at night.
Jin Chaochao brought Zhang Ruoming to the temporary shed.
Yan's mother had already lit the candles.
Jin Chaochao closed the door curtain, then took the paper money next to her and looked at Zhang Ruoming, "You come and burn them. These must all be burned."
Zhang Ruoming looked at the more than 30 boxes piled on the ground, and felt numb. "How long will it take to burn?"
"Just wait until daybreak!" Jin Chaochao took the incense and lit it on the candle.
Then she walked to the altar, looked at the empty space in front of her and said, "The heir of Xuanmen, Jin Chaochao, wants to requisition this land today. Everyone present, please come out and show yourselves. You will be well fed and well-drinked tonight."
A gust of cold wind blew in from outside the door, almost blowing out the candle.
Jin Chaochao clasped her hands together and used magic to protect the candle.
A moment later, a child appeared in the open space, drooling and biting his fingers.
"Can I really eat it?" The child was wearing tattered linen clothes and half of his head was missing. He looked pitiful and scary.
Jin Chaochao nodded at him, "Eat!"
These lonely ghosts have been starving and haven't eaten for a long time.
The child climbed onto the altar and devoured the food ravenously. Seeing this, other wild ghosts also showed up.
They have forgotten when they died, and because of their resentment, they cannot enter the underworld and cannot be reincarnated. They have been trapped in this place, enduring torture day after day.
Now, the offerings offered to them are all delicious. Even the evil ghosts with excellent concentration can't help but crawl out to fight for them.
Zhang Ruoming lowered his head and burned paper, occasionally looking up. When he saw the pale and horrifying faces, he trembled with fear.
Yan's mother was amused by him: "If you are afraid, don't peek."
Zhang Ruoming coughed and laughed dryly: "I'm not afraid!"
He just didn't expect that so many people had died in this place.
It was estimated that there were about thirty people.
Men, women, young and old, died in different ways.
The incense burned for several hours.
After all the ghosts had eaten their fill, Jin Chaochao spoke, "Very good, I just counted. There are thirty-seven of you in total. No matter what grievances or obsessions you have, I hope you can let them all go."
Among this group of ghosts, the oldest one is an old man.
He had a goatee, was wearing Qing Dynasty clothing, and was leaning on a cane. When he looked at Jin Chaochao, his eyes were particularly cold.
"Little girl, with just this little benefit, you want us to let go of our obsession and follow you? Why should we trust you?"
Jin Chaochao glanced at the ghosts and said in a serious tone, "I can find someone to save you. If you don't leave today, you will never have such an opportunity again."
Lonely ghosts are the most difficult to redeem, especially those who are old.
After Jin Chaochao finished speaking, half of her heart was already moved.
But the old man said coldly, "Don't trust these Taoists too much, or you might get cheated and lose your soul."
It's not like he hasn't heard of things like cultivating living souls.
Those who practice Taoism are not all good people.
Jin Chaochao walked up to the old man, not angry, "I understand your concerns! I think with my ability, there is no need to go to great lengths to offer you offerings and let you receive incense. Now I do this because you have been lonely for decades and have no descendants to offer offerings to you. I want you to enjoy the warmth of the world one last time before you are saved."
After she finished speaking, she waved her hand, and the old man who was there just now was received into the talisman paper.
When the other ghosts saw this, they were so scared that they quickly stepped back.
Jin Chaochao continued to speak calmly, "Don't worry, I'm not a wicked person. Just look at my good deeds and you'll understand."
She pinched a seal with one hand, and the next second a colorful glow shone from above her head. All the ghosts and monsters present were refreshed and felt more comfortable than if they had eaten food.
When they realized what was happening, they all knelt down and said, "Master, please save us!"
Zhang Ruoming looked at the scene and felt inexplicably excited.
I never thought that Jin Chaochao, at such a young age, could command so many ghosts.
Among this group of ghosts, he immediately saw the woman who appeared in his nightmare last night.
He was so scared that he quickly lowered his head again, not daring to look any longer.
Jin Chaochao looked at the ghosts kneeling on the ground and nodded with satisfaction, "Give me some of the offerings I gave you. After daybreak, you all follow me."
"yes!"
The scene suddenly became orderly.
After Zhang Ruoming burned all the papers, he felt his legs were numb when he stood up.
Jin Chaochao put all the ghosts into the talisman paper. At this time, a hint of paleness appeared in the sky.
She looked at Zhang Ruoming and said politely, "I will go back today. A construction team will come to do the work later. Please take care of us, Mr. Zhang!"
Zhang Ruoming quickly responded, "Okay! I'll take care of it. Just let me know if you need anything."
At this moment, he truly felt that the old village chief's decision to hold on to the land and not sell it was the right one.
Leave from South Village.
Jin Chaochao sat in the car and said to Yan's mother, "I have to go to Jingtan Temple again."
"Miss, how about I deliver these things to be saved on your behalf?" The old monk has so many capable monks under his command.
This matter can definitely be done.
Jin Chaochao rubbed his brows and said, "We can't be lazy about this matter. There are more than 30 lives, and they are quite old ghosts. No matter how powerful you are, it's not easy to deal with them."
What's more, among these ghosts, there are indeed a few who are quite powerful.
If she can't save the soul, she can still keep calm.
After returning, Jin Chaochao arranged a private plane, prepared some things, and visited Jingtan Temple again.
This time, it was only her and Yan's mother who went to Jingtan Temple.
After not seeing him for many days, the old monk was still in good spirits, but Jin Chaochao could see at a glance that a dark shadow was floating around him, indicating that his end was near.
"Chao Chao, you are here again!" the wise old monk said with a smile.
Jin Chaochao nodded to him, "Master, I came to you today to ask for a favor."
Wisdom saw that she was so direct and smiled even more heartily, "You really can't wait a moment, let's go inside and talk."
