Swan Pit.
As Jiang Yuan got out of the car, a cold wind swept by.
As the driver said, Swan Pit is now desolate and dilapidated.
Elsewhere, trees greet the spring, tender buds break through the soil to welcome new life, but only here…
The flowers, grass, and trees withered, even the lawn turned yellow, and the place that could be seen was desolate.
The lake in front of us was mostly dried up, and it was murky and black. Various mosquitoes and flies flew across the surface of the lake, and a foul stench wafted over.
"Master Jiang, after thinking it over, this is the only place with such a small lake. I wonder if it's the one you're looking for?" the driver asked.
Jiang Yuan asked where there was a lake near Swan Pit. After thinking for a while, he only remembered that there was a small lake here. This small lake was actually a bit far from Swan Pit, so he drove him here directly to save him the trouble of walking.
I just don't know if it's the lake Jiang Yuan is looking for.
If not, he can call someone to help him look for other lakes nearby that he doesn't know about or that aren't recorded on the map.
"This is it, thank you." Jiang Yuan's gaze fell on the ethereal figure in the middle of the lake.
Her hair was disheveled, with only one eye showing, making her look sinister and terrifying.
Centered on her, a lot of foul air emanated from the surrounding area.
She remained motionless, half submerged and half floating on the surface of the water, as if she had been soaking in the lake for a very, very long time.
The ethereal being seemed to have seen Jiang Yuan as well, tilting its head slightly and staring at her with its empty eyes.
"Could you please drive out first? Just wait for me at the entrance of Swan Pit," Jiang Yuan turned to the driver and asked.
The driver nodded, "Okay! I'll wait for you at the gate!"
After the driver finished speaking, he got into the car and added a final reminder before leaving, "Master Jiang, please be careful."
After saying that, the driver stepped on the gas and drove away.
He, a person who exercises every day and has excellent physical fitness, even able to wear short sleeves in winter, felt a chill as soon as he got off the bus.
He truly didn't believe that there was nothing wrong with this place.
Master Jiang told him to leave, which means he must have seen something amiss.
If he stays there, he might just be causing trouble for Master Jiang.
It would be better to listen to Master Jiang's advice, wait outside the gate, and call Butler Li to report the situation.
Otherwise, if something happens to Master Jiang, Steward Li might blame him.
After the car drove away, Jiang Yuan turned back again.
Suddenly, a disheveled face with only one empty eye came into close view of Jiang Yuan. She slowly turned her eyes, carefully examining Jiang Yuan, and stammered, "Who...who...am I?"
Her voice was like a saw being pulled back and forth, and it was also a bit hoarse.
You could tell just by listening to her cries for help before she died.
But the person who caused her this tragedy stood coldly by the lake, watching her scream and sink to the bottom.
"Who...am I?" Seeing that Jiang Yuan did not react, the vengeful ghost in front of him asked again.
She had no ill intentions towards Jiang Yuan, but because she had been bound to the local area for too long and remained in the mortal world for too long, she became a vengeful ghost.
The negative energy emanating from her affected those around her; those people were affected by her negative energy, which is why accidents happened.
"Your name is Wen Yi," Jiang Yuan said calmly, but she felt a pang of sympathy for the girl.
Back then, she was a young girl in the prime of her life, with a bright future ahead of her.
She just wanted to be nicer to her sister, whom she hadn't seen for many years, and wanted to make it up to her.
Unexpectedly...
Her kindness ultimately harmed her.
"Wen Yi?" The ethereal being before him pronounced the name forcefully, its large eyes filled with doubt, as if it were completely unfamiliar with the name.
"Yes, Wenyi, that's your name."
"Now, I return the name to you."
Jiang Yuan raised her slender hand and brushed aside the wet hair that was draped over Wen Yi's face, revealing a face that resembled Wen Chang's but was several years younger.
The illusory entity in front of him opened its eyes wide in surprise.
This girl can touch her.
She had been there for a very long time, and no one could see her. No matter how much she called out, no one stopped for even a moment. They even passed right through her.
There used to be so many people here, but now there are fewer and fewer...
Later, she was the only one left there.
She can only go to the lakeside; she can't leave this area of the lake.
So she kept waiting...
Wait until someone finds her.
This girl's hands are so warm.
With a wave of her hand, Jiang Yuan produced a crystal-clear pen.
Immediately, a book imbued with spiritual energy appeared out of thin air.
As soon as the notebook was opened, it was flipped through quickly.
The reading stopped when we turned to Wenyi's page.
Jiang Yuan muttered to himself, and finally said in a firm and powerful voice, "Return!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yama drew a stroke of his pen, and Wen Yi's name on the Book of Life and Death began to be gilded with a layer of golden light.
In an instant, a golden light also appeared on the forehead of the illusory figure in front of them.
As the golden light entered her body, countless images from her previous life flashed through her mind.
