Floating to your side (26)

"It's you!" Shen Tang and the woman in red looked at each other for a moment and said in unison.

Shen Tang was in no mood to exchange pleasantries with her, so he went straight to the point and asked, "I came here this time to ask you to do me a favor."

"You said so, at least you drew a picture for me," the red-dressed woman smiled and immediately floated to Shen Tang's side, "Hey, where are the two guys beside you? Why didn't they come with you? They are really willing to do it, right?"

As soon as she asked, she noticed that the girl's face looked a little ugly.

"The ghost baby has been sent to be reincarnated. As for Wen Ting, I came here for his matter. Anyway, you have been in this temple for a long time. Have you ever seen a hairpin?" Shen Tang asked her with a frown, and then gestured twice with his hands, and drew out the shape of a hairpin for the woman in red according to his memory.

"This hairpin, why do I feel like I've seen it somewhere before..." The woman in red held her head in her arms, with a thoughtful look on her face. The more she looked at the hairpin drawn by Shen Tang, the more familiar it seemed to her. She must have seen it somewhere before!

Shen Tang did not place her hopes solely on the woman in red. She went to the well inside the ancient temple to look for her, while waiting for her to recall her memories. When she was approaching the well, the woman in red suddenly shouted.

"I remember now!"

"Isn't this the hairpin that the old woman wore on her head!" A look of realization appeared on the face of the head held in Nv Piao's arms, and Shen Tang's eyes widened immediately.

"Old woman? Is she the old lady who looks over fifty years old with gray hair?" The last time she completed the mission, she found the pin that opened the male protagonist's passage to the afterlife from that old lady. Could it be the person that the woman in red met?

"Yes, yes, it's her, but how do you know what she looks like? I remember that I met her on the day you left the ancient temple. At that time, she even said vaguely that you would come back. I didn't expect that you would come back so soon." Nv Piao looked at her and sighed while touching her head. "But I haven't seen her come out in the past two days. You can't find her by the well. She lives in the well. You can shout into the well and maybe she will come out."

As soon as Shen Tang learned the other party's location, he immediately walked to the well, slightly bent his body and looked into the well, "Excuse me, old man, are you in there? I have something I want to trouble you with!"

She stood by the well for a long time, until her legs became numb, before she finally heard a hoarse sound coming from the well.

"Who is calling me?" Shen Tang first saw a head floating up from the well, and then he saw the old lady in the well. She seemed to have taken a nap, and her hunched back kept yawning. After seeing Shen Tang, she finally said leisurely, "Finally she's here."

"I've been waiting for you for a long time," the old lady fanned her mouth with her hands a few times to get rid of her sleepiness.

Shen Tang stared at the old lady in front of him, and his eyes finally stopped at the hairpin on her head. A hairpin was firmly inserted in the old lady's gray hair, exactly the same hairpin he saw when he completed the previous mission.

"I, an old woman, have been waiting for you in the well for the same amount of time as that young man." The old woman squinted her eyes, trying to see Shen Tang's appearance clearly. Finally, she asked curiously, "Hey, why is it you? But let's not talk about this for now. Where did that young man go?"

Shen Tang briefly explained the story of the sorcerer and his purpose to the old lady. The old lady suddenly understood, "So that's why I didn't see that guy with you. As for the hairpin, I should return it to its original owner."

Although the red-clothed woman did not know anything about the old lady, Shen Tang, who had done a mission in this world, knew very well that the old lady was not a wandering soul and should have been reincarnated long ago. She had only stayed in this ancient temple for several years in order to return the hairpin. If she had not waited for the owner of the hairpin, she would probably continue to sleep here and would not go back until the hairpin was returned to its original owner.

"Little girl, you look unfamiliar to me. Logically speaking, you are not the original owner of this hairpin, but it seems that you have some kind of origin with it. Since you also said that the young man is now trapped in the passage to the afterlife, I will give this hairpin to you and you can take the young man away from the passage to the afterlife." The old lady's eyes became clearer. She stretched out her wrinkled hands and raised her white hair. She carefully took the hairpin off her head and handed it to the girl in front of her.

Shen Tang immediately grabbed the hairpin tightly in her hand, thanked the old lady twice briefly, and took the hairpin to find the lantern in the car. She wanted to use the hairpin to open the passage to the afterlife, which could not be achieved without her presence.

The girl ran down the mountain stairs quickly with her nimble figure. Fortunately, she had enough physical strength and she did not feel tired after running for a long time. Finally, she successfully brought the lantern in the car back to the ancient temple.

"Don't worry, just open the passage to the afterlife. I will watch the scene outside and won't let you get hurt," the woman in red said softly, looking at Shen Tang who was running back breathlessly. She glanced at the lantern in Shen Tang's hand, and her expression changed several times after she felt the breath coming from it.

"It turned out to be this lantern, no wonder even that monster boy couldn't escape from it." The red-clothed woman Piao had heard about the power of lanterns made of human skin before, and the evil spirit on this lantern was the ghost baby she had seen not long ago, so Piao was shocked for a while. She had never seen the formation inside, no wonder she needed to use other methods to open the afterlife passage.

"Stop talking nonsense, open this afterlife passage as soon as possible. The longer you delay, the more disadvantageous it will be for the souls that have been staying in the afterlife passage and cannot be reincarnated." The old lady frowned, and her short figure flew to the side of the lantern held by Shen Tang. She stretched out her hand and hit the lantern into the air, "Little girl, throw that hairpin over!"

The lantern was firmly fixed in the air by the old lady's power. Shen Tang followed the old lady's instructions and threw the hairpin in his hand towards the lantern. The two forces converged, and Shen Tang saw the afterlife passage he had seen in the hospital. The passage had turned into a whirlpool, and the dark evil spirit was rolling around like ink waves. Just looking at it made people feel palpitations.

"The passage to the afterlife has been opened. Go in quickly and find the person you are looking for. Send away those who are about to leave, and leave those who are about to stay."

Shen Tang's back was suddenly pushed towards the mouth of the vortex. She looked sideways and saw the old lady whose figure was gradually disappearing.

"I have waited for so many years, and finally I have waited for the person I was waiting for. It is time for me to leave here. Little girl, the resentment of that young man is related to you, but it is not caused by you. It is a good deed to take him to reincarnation."

As her soul gradually entered the passage to the afterlife, the words that Shen Tang heard from the old lady gradually disappeared. When she completely entered the passage to the afterlife, the figures of the old lady and the woman in red also completely disappeared from her sight.

The hairpin was used to open the passage to the afterlife. The time when the passage was opened was the best time to help Wen Ting reincarnate and bring back Liu Ling's soul. She must find them as soon as possible.

People who enter the afterlife passage will not remember their memories as souls for the time being. In their current impression, they are alive and well. After all, Shen Tang has completed a mission, so she knows exactly where Wen Ting is at this moment, and where the resentment against Wen Ting comes from.

After all, when she completed the mission, she saw with her own eyes how Wen Ting died in front of her. She didn't expect that this time, she would have to watch him die in front of her again.

Shen Tang's hands clenched slightly, and her expression was not good, but she quickly controlled her soul and floated in the direction of Wen Ting and the others. Her body floated in the air, just as Wen Ting had watched her before. At this moment, she also watched Wen Ting walking down the street, talking and laughing. According to previous experience, she should not be able to touch him at all.

She had been in the fast-travel bureau for so long that she had forgotten what happened in different worlds. Wen Ting's death was somewhat related to the means she used to complete the mission. The last time she completed the mission, she remembered that she seemed to have used a prop to mold a body in the past. At that time, in order to make the other party willing to reincarnate, she used the prop to mold the body of Wen Ting's childhood sweetheart.

If she remembered correctly, Wen Ting and his childhood sweetheart seemed to have been betrothed by their family a long time ago, but the real childhood sweetheart had passed away and the family moved away early, but Wen Ting didn't know about it.

Shen Tang thought that only those who care about someone will have the motivation to reincarnate, so she used the green plums she pinched to make Wen Ting like her more, so that she could reincarnate to reunite with someone in the future. However, she did not expect that some bad things would happen later, which made Wen Ting's resentment even deeper.

The two who were engaged as children should have gotten married when they reached the age, but Shen Tang's body was made of a prop, so it was impossible for her to get married. She should have left that world when the time came and waited for Wen Ting's reincarnation, but a sorcerer jumped out and pointed out that there was something wrong with her. If this was the case, it would not be a big deal, but a wealthy family who believed in gods and ghosts was interested in this matter. Although Wen Ting's family was already a famous family, the family still insisted on taking back Shen Tang, who was Wen Ting's childhood sweetheart at the time.

However, once the Wen family failed to keep an eye on Shen Tang, she was taken away by that family. Her body was fake at that time, and it would be disastrous if someone took her away for research. After Shen Tang was kidnapped, she thought it was time to leave, so she jumped down from the well while the family was not paying attention. When she was found later, it seemed that her body, which was made out of a prop, had all rotted away, except for the hairpin on her head that fell to the ground and was picked up by Wen Ting.

It's just a pity for Wen Ting, he really thought that his childhood sweetheart died in humiliation, and ended up fighting with that family with hatred. The people still kept insulting and cursing his dead childhood sweetheart as a disaster star.
