Chapter 29 Unable to stay in the mortal realm, unable to enter the underworld
Li Guizhi quickly bent down and picked her up.
"Ningbao, it's already dark outside. We'll wait at home for your dad and the others to go."
Ning Bao shook her head and looked at Li Guizhi and the others with a serious expression.
"Grandma, Ningbao only wants to come along when it gets dark."
There are ghosts here. These ghosts will definitely come out at night. I don't feel safe letting Father and the others go out at night because the yin energy is heavy."
Ning Bao exclaimed that something was amiss, and the people in front of her all cautiously looked around.
Liu Qingru, Shen Junshan's wife, who was standing on the outside, rushed to Shen Yuzhen and grabbed her arm tightly.
She decided to stay in her sister-in-law's bed until her husband sent someone back.
Upon hearing Ning Bao's words, everyone reacted differently. Mu Dasheng, however, looked at Ning Bao with a solemn expression and a very serious demeanor.
"Baby, tell Grandpa, can you really see ghosts?"
Ning Bao nodded.
"Yes, I can see it. Look, there's one behind Grandpa."
Even though Mu Dasheng was knowledgeable and experienced, he was still a little confused when Ning Bao said that there was a ghost behind him.
Ningbao, with a serious expression, continued speaking.
"However, this ghost should have died of natural causes, and it doesn't harbor much resentment; it's a kind ghost."
"Alas! There have been so many disasters lately that the ghosts in the mortal realm are almost a plague. King Yama is so inefficient; he doesn't even bother to catch so many ghosts. All those ghost messengers in his underworld are just idle."
Meanwhile, in the underworld, at the Yama's Palace.
King Yama was discussing the rampant spiritual activity in the underworld with his ghost messengers when suddenly his nose itched.
"Achoo! Achoo! Achoo!"
After sneezing three times in a row, the Yama Dynasty glanced into the void.
"Sigh! It seems he's been criticized again!"
King Yama glared angrily at the assembled ghost messengers in the hall.
"I don't care what methods you use, you must send the spirits in the mortal world to be reincarnated as soon as possible, or don't blame me for being impolite to you."
...
Mu Dasheng's legs were already immobile, and ever since Ning Bao said there was a ghost behind him, he didn't even dare to breathe loudly.
Mu Dasheng pointed behind him.
"Ning... Ningbao, can you catch the ghost behind Grandpa?"
Can I move now?
"Grandpa, don't worry, I'll take it now."
Ningbao took out her small cloth bag from under her pillow. Liu Qingru had just made this bag for her today.
She has moved everything from her old tattered bag to this new one.
Ning Bao took out a ghost-repelling talisman and threw it behind Mu Dasheng, saying as she did so.
"Ghost, come quickly, I'll send you to be reincarnated."
To make his words more convincing, Ning Bao simply took out another talisman, chanted incantations, and waved it in front of the people present.
Ningbao's little hand swept across everyone's eyes, and everyone's eyes lit up instantly, and they couldn't help but look behind Mu Dasheng.
Behind Mu Dasheng stood a woman with a sallow complexion and a thin, pale face; she shouldn't be a female ghost.
The female ghost was startled when she realized everyone could see her. She quickly glanced at Ning Bao.
"Little Master, can you see me? Please don't take me in, okay? I've heard that ghosts are destroyed after they're taken in, and I don't want to be destroyed."
I assure you, I have never harmed anyone before…
Ning Bao held a talisman in one hand and his peach wood sword in the other, staring intently at the female ghost.
"Yes, I believe you haven't harmed anyone, because you have no karmic debts."
But since you're already a spirit, wandering around the mortal realm won't do you any good.
The yang energy of the mortal realm is very harmful to spirits. Even if I don't take you in, you will still vanish into nothingness after staying in the mortal realm for forty-nine days.
Upon hearing that she would be reduced to ashes, the female ghost immediately lost her composure. She looked at Ning Bao in a panic.
"Little Master, please save me! I don't want to be in the mortal world, but I can't get into the underworld either. I've heard that after someone dies, the ghost messengers come to collect their soul."
But I've waited so long in the mortal realm and the underworld messengers still haven't come. I don't know what to do now. I can't stay in the mortal realm and I can't go into the underworld. Why am I so unlucky?
The female ghost started crying loudly, and Ning Bao frowned in disgust when she saw the female ghost crying with snot and tears streaming down her face.
