For what Old Gong said, my dad didn't make a sound, and my mom just glared at him.
I stood for a long time before contacting Han Cua Zi and Huang Shu twice to tell them about my current predicament and the assistance I needed.
Han Cua Zi, since he sold his soul, his emotions have been very stable, neither high nor boisterous. In the same way, when he promised to do this thing for me, there was no emotional ripple.
I actually have some concerns about his recent condition.
After all, the whole Changle Taoist Temple has been eroded by the Plague Ghost, leaving him as an isolated individual.
In fact, I don't know if Han Cua Zi is still himself now.
With Uncle Huang, he seemed much more lively and had a sense of enthusiasm, which reassured me. He will definitely handle this matter properly.
After the formalities were completed, Uncle Huang also pried information out of me, asking me when I planned to return to the Si Guo Mountain.
The incident that day was significant; he knows about it, so it's no surprise.
My answer to that is, when the time comes, I will go back.
At this point, I thought of a node, telling Uncle Huang to order the night duty to go and take a look at Han Cua Zi, see if there's anything wrong with him.
Si Ye is highly sensitive to the earth's energy, and the Plague Ghost cannot be concealed.
Only Uncle Huang told me that he knows about the current situation of the supervision of the temple. After their last meeting with us, he wanted to make sure Han Cua Zi's safety and left behind a piece of Si Ye jade for night duty.
With the Plague Ghost becoming stronger and stronger, Si Ye can only play a role of alertness and cannot deal with the Plague Ghost.
However, he can be sure that Han Cua Zi is not in trouble.
I took a deep breath and felt more composed.
Putting away the phone, since it was amplified, my parents could clearly understand the arrangement and beginning of this matter.
I walked over to the coffin beside the bamboo shed again.
The coffin lid was open, and the corpse had not been moved.
The corpse fairy, the headless woman, and even Qin Yoyo, are actually all the same person.
Covered by the wedding dress, her slender figure was still visible. Her hands were pressed against her chest, and the marriage contract lay beneath her palm. The cover of the book was adorned with an extremely intricate talisman.
Within the corpse, there was a lingering wish that wanted to get married with me. However, it became the afterthought of Lao Qin Head, suppressing her own soul.
And the main soul that was in the nightmare prison was because I couldn't produce the talisman that she needed, which caused her to want to kill me.
Looking at her body, a sound echoed mysteriously in my ears!
"Clothes!"
"All of you! You have ruined my clothes!"
A scene flashed before my eyes: a part of Qin Yoyo's soul that followed me stood before the eight elders of Tian Shou Taoist Temple without any fear, even raging because the cheongsam I gave her was damaged.
Then, the scene became me lying on the ground, Qin Yoyo pressing down on top of me.
She shrieked, "You, you can't hurt him!"
Qin Yoyo seems to have said this sentence more than any other.
To protect me, her spirit was consumed by the Plague Ghost.
Her determination, even under the control of the Plague Ghost, kept her conscious and helped me several times!
Especially by the river, she revealed her last card, a talisman left by Lao Qin Head, which greatly angered the Plague Ghost!
No matter the circumstances, in Qin Yoyo's eyes, the most important thing is my safety!
"After the engagement is broken, the god of gods is free," my mother whispered.
For some reason, the feeling of being choked up in my heart became much stronger.
Mysteriously, another scene appeared before me.
Qin Yoyo was covered in wounds, as if she had suffered a thousand cuts and thousands of slashes. The head on her neck was broken by force, and a piece of bone was exposed!
"The coffin... is bleeding?" my dad's voice was slightly startled as he suddenly said.
I once again snapped back to reality and stared at the red coffin.
Bright sunlight penetrated into the coffin, and where it touched the ground, true blood oozed out from the coffin, spreading continuously around.
The sensation of the blood flowing was like the coffin was crying...
Is it Qin Yoyo who is crying?
The part of Qin Yoyo's soul that protected me was with the Plague Ghost.
The sealed main soul doesn't recognize me; it knows nothing.
That is the lingering soul that is crying.
The lingering soul is crying because I said I would break off the engagement?
For a moment, there was silence, but it felt like something overwhelmingly loud.
"Dad, Mom, you guys go down the mountain first. Most likely, Lao Qin Head's soul has left. However, you should still bring Lao Gong Zi, it will be safer."
I took Lao Gong Zi's night pot and handed it to my dad.
"God of gods, you..." My mother clearly seemed somewhat uncomfortable.
"Let's go." This time, my dad looked at her with a slightly serious expression.
My mom didn't say anything anymore, and the two of them started walking towards the direction of the mountain.
Sitting beside the coffin, my emotions began to surge and churn within me.
The sunlight shining on my face didn't feel cold, but only a kind of torment.
Suddenly, I remembered that there was a short period when I was not quite right about Huan Ying.
At that time, I thought it was because Huan Ying liked me, and I didn't like her enough, more so because she was good to me.
Later, I realized that it was also a form of enlightenment. I genuinely wanted to be good to Huan Ying.
Sitting by this coffin, when many things leap out and are laid bare on the table.
When everything Qin Yoyo did for me comes back to my mind again, when my heart opens up and I think more deeply than before.
Only then did I realize that my hesitation back then wasn't just because of my limited understanding at that time.
And because...
A ghost.
A face I have never known.
A ghost who had only an engagement with me but was willing to pay everything!
Even as a lingering spirit of a corpse fairy, she was resolute.
Even if her main soul doesn't recognize me, she remembers that there is a talisman.
It's because I didn't produce the talisman that she expected, causing her to feel deceived and then try to kill me!
It is still daytime now.
She is beheaded.
But she still cried, her blood tears soaked the entire ground.
My hand pressed against my chest, tightly clutching at my heart, and waves of torment surged up, turning my face pale again.
No matter how much change, danger, and twists and turns there may be, everything still ends up on the right track.
But there are still some things that seem impossible to get on the right track.
Time was passing slowly.
The glaring sunlight gradually turned into an eye-catching sunset, the blood-colored halo merged with the blood on the ground, making it seem like this plain has become a pool of blood.
When the sunlight completely disappeared, the night swallowed up the light, and the moonlight appeared in sight.
Quietly, Qin Yoyo's body stood up.
With a clanging sound, the marriage contract she was holding in her arms fell to the ground!
She has risen from the dead!
The marriage contract meant a talisman, but as the talisman fell, she did not become fierce, nor did she reveal her true form as the main soul had wanted to kill me.
Instead, a faint, sorrowful cry emerged from her abdomen!
