"Little girl, I am the village chief of this small fishing village. My surname is Qiu."
Ningbao called out obediently.
"Hello, Grandpa Qiu."
"Good, good, child!" Village Chief Qiu's eyes narrowed with laughter.
“Child, we were just ordinary villagers. The accident in the village killed us all. It really wasn’t our fault.”
To be honest, we had no experience with being ghosts. We thought we would sleep forever after death, but we never expected that ghosts would exist after death.
We thought that if there are ghosts, then there must be Black and White Impermanence, right? Aren't Black and White Impermanence supposed to guide the newly deceased?
But we've been dead for so long, and not a single ghost messenger has come to take care of us.
We don't want to harm anyone, and we have nowhere else to go, so we can only stay in our original home.
We have no objection to Lanfang and Boyu bringing people to demolish our houses. We've all experienced hardship, and it's a waste to leave those houses there.
It would be better to dismantle the bricks and tiles and give them to those in need.
Actually, it was my suggestion that we attach ourselves to the bricks and come over together.
I thought that since we are ghosts, we should live in a ghost town.
Constantly drifting among humans is not good for our health; some of our fellow villagers have even become transparent.
Seeing that the Taoist priest could make things disappear out of thin air and retrieve objects from a distance, I figured his magical powers must be incredibly strong.
"If we stay by his side, he'll definitely find a way to send us away from the mortal realm..."
Ningbao was very happy to hear what Village Chief Qiu said. Her ultimate goal was to send them to be reincarnated and leave the human world.
She initially thought she would need to use some coercion or bribery, but she didn't expect the other person to be so self-aware.
“Grandpa Qiu, this is easy to handle. I can do it without my master having to get involved.”
If you've made up your mind, I can send you away anytime.
After leaving you this time, I will never be able to come back. Even if I do come back, you may not be the same people you are now.
Since we have met, it must be fate. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, you can tell me.
I will help if I can. It is best to be free from all attachments when you are reincarnated. If you are carrying attachments or grudges, it will be bad for the spirit of the unborn child.
"When you are reincarnated, you are likely to die young in the womb..."
Village Chief Qiu: "…………"
It turns out that reincarnation is also a science.
Village Chief Qiu asked around the group of ghosts, but to his surprise, none of them had any wishes.
After all, most families die together as a whole, so they have no regrets even as ghosts.
One of the older women took a step forward, thought for a moment, and then stepped back. A young woman beside her, seeing this, quickly asked with concern,
"Mother, what's wrong?"
"Do you want to see your sister-in-law?"
The old woman shook her head.
"Forget it, your sister-in-law has never had a good day since she married into our family. We've also seen that she gets along well with that man surnamed Fan."
Although the man was a bit old, didn't look rich, and wasn't good-looking, he was kind to Lanfang.
As long as she's doing well, we won't bother her.
Just then, Village Chief Qiu walked over.
"Sister-in-law, would you like to meet your Lanfang?"
The old woman shook her head.
"It's gone. That's it."
Village Chief Qiu gave the old woman an approving look.
"Yes, that's good too. I think Lanfang will definitely live a good life in this village in the future. Don't think too much about it. Let's set off peacefully later."
Suddenly, a sound came from the Soul-Nourishing Talisman that Ningbao had previously put away. Without thinking, Ningbao quickly took out the Soul-Nourishing Talisman and released the old woman inside...
