The Wife of a Ghost - C290
I originally thought that Zi Sang Ming would come to the Yang World just to seek for something new and would be back in a few days, but I didn’t expect that he would appear before my parents every day as Zi Ye. Furthermore, he would occasionally act like a teacher and completely carry out Shen Tuo’s words, as if he was already treating me as a teacher.
Look at you now, you don’t have the attitude of a Mighty One.
“What does Madam want to see? Did it look good last night? Or should we change it tonight?”
This person was always able to change the topic to something inconceivable. I rolled my eyes and went to the back of the mountain to chat with Duan Heng. I really couldn’t be bothered with him.
“Shen Tuo hasn’t appeared for the past two days. What has he gone to do?” I didn’t see Sang Ming ever since he broke the ‘This is her teacher’ encirclement on the first day. Logically speaking, he has already been promoted and shouldn’t have to be guarding the station 24 hours a day. Why is he still so elusive now?
Duan Heng was sharpening a bamboo stick while slanting the cigarette in his mouth to the side, saying, “I heard that there were cases in the past that needed to be kept to the side and that he was currently writing in a side room. Hmph, this guy hasn’t written properly for three years and suddenly wants him to write all these.”
Following what Duan Heng said, I thought back to how Shen Tuo looked as he sat by the table writing. Perhaps he was used to seeing this person so carefree, but he suddenly became serious. Why does it feel so joyous? I felt itchy in my heart. I wanted to see if Shen Tuo was really sitting upright like I thought he would be, so I abandoned Duan Heng and ran away. I don’t care what Duan Heng is shouting behind me.
How can he have the time to be jealous of me now? He will stay by my parents’ side every day and be more filial than my daughter. In a few days, my parents will not even want me anymore.
The room wasn’t too far from the back of the mountain. I ran down the path and followed the stream. In less than ten minutes, we had already arrived at the back of the house. In order to confirm that Shen Tuo was in this room, I intentionally peeked in through the back window when we passed by.
However, thanks to this glance, Shen Tuo could be considered to have escaped death.
He was sitting at the table by the window, thinking, as I had expected, but behind him, not empty, a dark figure the size of a baby, standing on the back of his chair, a pair of small black hands clawed at the back of his head, as if ready to strike his skull open at any moment.
“Freeze!” I quickly cast a hand sign into the room, and the infant’s shadow was immediately trapped by me. I didn’t care whether or not it made Shen Tuo uncomfortable, and with two or three steps, I stepped over the wall and smashed open his door.
Shen Tuo also noticed something strange behind me when I shouted “Stop”. When I came in, he was around the baby’s shadow, trying to figure out what it was.
“Why would there be a ghost baby in the monastery?”
At first glance, I had already determined that this little thing was a ghost baby, a form of resentment formed by the resentments of a child who died shortly after birth or died before reaching the age of seven. Unlike a fetus, this was made up of the intense resentment of a dead baby, and the vengeful spirits that formed the ghost were usually already born.
The Ghost Soul had an extremely strong sense of benefit, and would normally choose families with good families, and would rely on their own values to control the family’s fortunes. The Ghost Soul had a very strong sense of benefit, and would normally choose families with good families, and would rely on their own values to control the family’s fortunes.
But why would a little fella with such clear interests not stay in the house of someone else, why would he come to this temple? Aren’t you afraid of being taken in?
Shen Ta looked at me and clicked his tongue, “Look at this little guy’s actions, he wants to kill me. Could it be that this ghost baby has my bloodline?” Your son wants to kill your father to avenge himself? ”
I rolled my eyes at him, still joking, “The appearance of the Ghost Infant isn’t a small matter. Moreover, he came straight to this temple, there’s no way he wouldn’t know that the three families of the Buddhist Sangha covet the Ghost Infant.”
Although this little thing is a ghost and has great killing power, just like I said just now, as soon as it likes something, its luck will always be the same. As long as someone is willing to take advantage of it, it can even become a “Ma Yun”. When ordinary people first saw the black infant’s shadow, the first thing they thought of was to expel it. In fact, while expelling it, they also drove away the luck of their family, and those who could do things loved to obstruct this kind of work the most. They could take the infant back to their own side of the law competition and then bring it back home to wait upon it, allowing the infant to fall in love with the place where they were and find good luck for themselves.
Shen Tuo sighed, “Why don’t you first unlock his Body Securing Technique, and we will ask him what exactly happened.”
I looked outside the window, other than Shen Tuo, only Duan Heng and that old Taoist had some cultivation experience, but the old Taoist had been in closed door training ever since I came back, and he never had the intention of coming out, it seems like even if he sensed the Ghost Infant, he wouldn’t come out himself, not to mention that there is Zishan Ming overseeing this area, even if the old Taoist wants to capture it, he would have to think about it a bit, as for Duan Heng, he’s not so much a Taoist as a monk, but rather a monk.
Shen Ta closed the door to the room. I carefully loosened the Ghost Soul Lock technique and released the seal on his voice. However, I was unable to guard against it completely. The moment the little fellow’s mouth made a sound, it immediately shrieked and immediately started wailing.
I hastily sealed his voice from fright. The corners of my forehead protruded out as I warned, “If you continue to shout, I’ll bring you back to the Underworld to seal you and hand you over to a normal soul. I won’t let you have the chance to return to the mortal world.”
This threat was really useful. Lil Thing’s body became stiff and unable to move. It could only use its pair of big, black eyes to blink up and down, expressing its consent.
However, it was better than not to know. After all, they were both children, and Zishan was much more obedient.
“Greetings, Empress.” Lil Thing undid the seal and greeted me in a low voice.
I waved to Shen Ta, indicating that he was fine and that I didn’t have to watch from the doorway.
When the infant saw Shen Tuo coming over, he did not display any strong emotions. He only looked at him calmly, causing Shen Tuo to be stunned, “Weren’t you trying to kill me just now? Why was it so calm now? Am I a fish in your eyes? ”
The infant ghost snorted, “With your cultivation, killing you will be as easy as blowing off dust.”
Shen Tuo’s expression immediately changed. Although as an adult, he shouldn’t be bickering with a child, this sentence from the Ghost Infant really hurt his self-esteem. Moreover, Shen Tuo never felt that ghosts have ‘children’.
He said angrily, “Do you believe that I will give you a spell right now and seal you?”
The infant ghost raised his little face. “What ability do you have to rely on the Empress’s Body Lock technique to restrain me? Hmph.”
Shen Tuo’s face turned red once in a hundred years, “Heh, are you challenging me?”
The infant ghost gave him a glare before returning his gaze onto me. I immediately withdrew my smile and looked him straight in the eye. The infant ghost said, “Empress, I have something to tell you.”
Shen Tuo interrupted, “Why did you look for her in my room? You want to kill me while you’re at it? Did I offend you? ”
The infant rolled his eyes again, “I was asked to kill you. Do you think I like your life?”
Shen Tuo still wants to ask more questions, but the Ghost Infant has already made it clear that it won’t answer him. I can only temporarily stabilize Shen Tuo before asking the Ghost Infant about his purpose in coming here.
The infant ghost said, “I’ve only recently received news that the Ghost Seal has already fallen into the hands of His Highness, Sang Ming. The enthronement ceremony will be held soon. I would like to ask, Empress, is this true?”
The Ghost King’s ascension was a major event for the Underworld. Anyone under the jurisdiction of the Underworld, whether they were ghosts or elves, were to attend the grand ceremony. Thus, it was normal for this news to spread amongst the ghosts in the mortal world. I nodded and said to the ghost, “The official estimated that three days after I ascended the throne wouldn’t be right. In the mortal world, it should be three years later.”
The infant ghost asked again, “Then, your highness has really lost?”
It seemed that the ghosts in the mortal world were more loyal than Sang Ming, but so what? It was an ancient rule that the victor was the king and the loser was the thief. I nodded and ‘hmm’ was considered to be the answer to the Ghost Infant’s question …
The Ghost Infant sighed and suddenly became serious, saying, “Your Highness has been working hard for so many years and you still lost. What a pity … what a pity …”
For the sake of the position of the Ghost King, he did not hesitate to instigate chaos between the Yin and Yang Realms, and even brought a corpse poison to the Yang World to harm others. All living beings of the Six Realms did not even know how to cherish him, but this kind of ‘prince’, for the sake of obtaining the position of the Ghost King, would not have any logic at all.
If you came to replace your son, Sang Zhen, then you can leave now. By the way, you can tell Zisheng that whether it’s ghosts from the underworld or ghosts from the underworld, from now on, they will all be under Zi Sang Ming’s jurisdiction. He shouldn’t have any ulterior motives in order to avoid losing his life due to ambition.
I did not come down for the Blazing Palace, I did it for the sake of His Highness. I came here today to tell the two of you that although His Highness has lost, he did not give up on his actions. I hope that the two of you will give up when you are in the Yang World.
These words were a reminder that he was indeed being kind, but after hearing ‘what a pity’ from Zi Sang after his defeat, I really didn’t want to accept his kind intentions anymore.
