It seems like she could see my worries. The woman smiled and said, "human beings, I understand your doubts. You must think that both of us are trapped here and unable to help you improve your skills, right? Actually, you don't need to worry about that. We came here voluntarily, waiting for someone with fate. Of course, the prerequisite is that the person with fate must answer our Three questions."
"Three questions, okay, go ahead and ask. Let's see if I can answer them and have this opportunity." Whether or not she can really impart half of her skills to me, I want to try because I really long for Gui Li, otherwise I will always be at the mercy of ghosts or people who understand Ghost tricks.
"human beings Since you agreed, listen carefully to the first question: What is your name?" The man asked a question that almost made me burst out laughing. Is this even a question, or is he joking with me? Is this just a warm-up?
Seeing that I wanted to laugh but couldn't, the man got angry: "human beings Why aren't you answering? Do you think my question is funny? Or do you look down on the two of us?"
"No, that's not it. I just feel that this question is too simple, definitely can't be answered normally. Can you let me think about the answer to this question, and then I'd like you to ask the next two questions together, so I can consider them together and then answer? Because I want to see if I can come up with a solution. Otherwise, if I'm wrong, I'll miss such a good opportunity." I held back my laughter and casually asked for a way out, otherwise it wouldn't be good if I didn't give an answer for a long time.
Seeing my response, the two of them looked at each other and then the man spoke again, "Okay, then I'll tell you the other two questions together. The second question is, what is your birthdate and time, and the third question is, where were you born?"
Damn, it's too simple. As long as you're not an idiot, there's basically nothing you don't know. Does this mean I've hit the jackpot? Haha... I smirked inwardly, about to answer these three questions.
But suddenly, as the words were about to come out, I felt something was off. Damn, this doesn't seem right. Why are these three questions all targeting my personal information? Upon further thought, these two people, oh, no, maybe it's two suspicious ghosts.
Usually, when a sorcerer wants to harm someone, they will first obtain the target's birth date and name. But these two unknown creatures not only asked me for these two things, but also asked for my birthplace. How can I not be suspicious?
Even without considering these factors, who wouldn't be able to answer such a idiot question? It's obvious that they want to give me half of their cultivation for free. But thinking about it, I have no relationship with them, so why would they want to pass on their cultivation to me for no reason? There must be a trick behind this. However, since they didn't use force on me, it seems that they must be trapped here and unable to harm people. So, I pretended to ask sincerely, "Elders, I have a question. The question you asked is so simple, isn't this equivalent to giving me cultivation for free? Why would you do something without getting anything in return?"
"Who said we have no return? If we succeed in teaching, we can leave here, and our own cultivation will double." This time it was the woman speaking.
As soon as I heard this, I dared not use it anymore. Who knows what these two are, and whether they will cause harm outside. Although I am not very great, I cannot harm the world for my own benefit. So I pretended not to understand and asked, "That's not right. Didn't you just say that you came here voluntarily? Why would you still want to leave? Are you trying to deceive me?"
"Mei, what nonsense were you just spouting? We were already trapped here, how could you say it was voluntary? Now look, all our efforts have been in vain." The man immediately became furious and yelled at the woman.
"What's the matter with you? Wasn't I just thinking about how to deceive these humans? Who knew she was so sharp, she actually saw through it," Mei angrily retorted.
Looking at the two unknown species fighting, I immediately took the opportunity to slip away before they noticed me. From their conversation, it seems that the two who are still alive are Ghost tricks, probably ghosts, and they are ghost kings. I can't afford to provoke ghost kings, so I better escape while they are blaming each other.
These two, even if they look down on their sister, they don't have to be so blunt. They directly treat their sister as transparent, and admit in front of their sister that they are trying to scheme against her. And when their scheme is exposed by me, they show no embarrassment at being exposed, as if I should have been their prey.
However, this is also good, it just gives me a chance to escape. Who knew that ideals are always full, while reality is always stark. I had just turned around when these two ghosts shouted at me in unison, "Stop."
It's strange to stop just because of your ghostly words. I ran even faster, my feet creating a gust of wind. In an instant, I ran back to the place I had just opened my eyes, except for those two evil spirits kings. This place is really beautiful, I'm starting to feel a bit reluctant to leave.
"Mommy, why are you here?" Suddenly, I heard Little Ink's voice from behind.
Feeling joyful, I quickly turned around to look, but found no one there. There was no sign of Little Ink. I started to panic and anxiously called out, "Where are you, Little Ink? Were you just calling for Mommy? Mommy is here, can you hear Mommy speaking now?"
"Mommy, what's wrong? Little Ink is right in front of you. How can you not see him? Daddy, come over here. Mommy is here, but she can't see me." At that moment, I felt a small hand tightly gripping me, afraid that I would disappear.
"Meow..." After Little Ink called out, I heard Arrogant's voice, and my heart was once again filled with joy. As long as Arrogant intervened, I would surely be saved. But after waiting for a long time, I still couldn't see anything, only feeling the sweaty palm of the hand pulling me.
Just as I couldn't help but ask again, Shen Chen's voice came: "Little Ink, help Mommy over here, let Daddy see which ghost king dares to touch her idea."
"Mr. Chen, are you here too? Why can't I see any of you?" At that moment, I panicked and even sounded like I was about to cry. There was no sign of Shen Chen, Little Ink, or Arrogant in this magnificent palace, only the faint, androgynous singing.
Just now, after I escaped, that voice started to haunt me again, making my heart ache as if it had been twisted by something.
"Woman, don't be afraid. With Master here, no ghost will harm you. Just calm your mind, block out your senses, focus your thoughts, and meditate for ten minutes. The illusion you're trapped in will then dissipate," Shen Chenjian comforted me, suggesting a constructive solution.
After listening to Shen Chen's words, I hurriedly sat on the ground, trying to calm my mind and enter a meditative state, but the demonic sound kept entering my ears, making it even harder to achieve tranquility. I shook my head and said to the air, "I can't do it. There are two ghost kings singing here. I can't calm down at all, and my heart feels like it's breaking."
"Woman, This head believes in you. You can do it, believe in your true heart," said a warm voice. Then, another warm hand covered my other hand, and instantly a warm feeling spread through me. My heart gradually stopped hurting and calmed down, but the singing still couldn't be blocked out. No matter how hard I tried to calm down, I couldn't escape the torment of that singing.
So I once again spoke to the air with a bitter expression, "No, it's impossible. That voice can't be dispelled at all. It's like it's been branded with my mark, and I just can't shake it off."
After not hearing a response from Shen Chen for a while, I became even more anxious. The pain that had subsided in my chest started to ache again. "Puff..." Unable to hold back any longer, I spat out a mouthful of bright red blood. But after the blood was spat out, it suddenly disappeared. Fortunately, after spitting out the blood, the pain in my chest subsided.
Suddenly I saw my mother appear, of course not Mrs. Shen, I should say it was the foster mother who raised me for more than 20 years, and for convenience, I'll call her Lin Fang from now on.
Lin Fang just appeared in front of me out of nowhere, took my hand, and kindly said, "Yuan Yuan, don't be afraid. Those two ghost kings inside are good ghosts. They won't deceive you. You also know that speaking in the underworld always counts, otherwise you will incur heavenly punishment. Later, as long as you ask them for a verbal promise that cannot harm you, they will not dare to violate the promise and harm you."
"Oh, why didn't I think of that just now? But if I don't answer their Three questions, will they spread Gui Li about me?" I felt a strong urge to try, and asked anxiously, because I still wasn't quite at ease with the idea of letting the ghost beings know my date of birth.
"They definitely will. As long as they pass on half of the Gui Li to you, they can leave there and escape their predicament. Talking about answering questions is just a ploy. Yuan Yuan, Mom believes you will definitely succeed," Lin Fang nodded vigorously, with a hint of something unusual flashing in his eyes, unfortunately, I caught it.
It seems that after my foster mother's death and becoming a fierce ghost, she has truly changed and no longer shows me the same care as before. I feel very sad in my heart, but I am not yet at the time to be sad. In order to take good care of Little Ink, I have to stay alive. At least I have to wait until Little Ink is twenty years old.
However, my foster mother's suggestion has helped me. I am worried not only about whether I will be harmed, but also about whether these two ghost kings will rebel in the underworld and harm the world. But with my foster mother's suggestion, I can force these two ghost kings to swear that they will only do good in the future, cannot do anything bad, and most importantly, cannot harm my ideas in the human world or the underworld. Otherwise, they will face the most severe heavenly punishment. Just having the thought will also incur heavenly punishment.
So I pretended not to notice the unusual look in Lin Fang's eyes, and happily nodded, saying, "Mom, you are really great. You can come up with such a brilliant solution. No wonder you are Yuan Yuan's mother."
Lin Fang pretended to smile kindly and said, "Yuan Yuan, keep it up. Mom has to hurry to reincarnate, so I'll leave first."
I nodded vigorously and hugged Lin Fang tightly, crying uncontrollably. Who doesn't know how to act? But this doesn't count as acting. In my heart, I treated Lin Fang as genuinely caring for me, seeing me in such a state before my reincarnation and helping me, so all my emotions were real.
As I cried in despair, Lin Fang disappeared, but I could sense that she was hiding in a dark corner, watching me. At this moment, I felt like I was being stared at by a venomous snake. I never expected that my mother, who had raised me for over twenty years, would plot against me.
However, now is not the time to think about these things. I dared to tighten my emotions and walked back to the palace.
But as I lifted my foot to walk in, I faintly heard the shouts of Shen Chen and Little Ink, but I couldn't make out what they were shouting, just like when I first entered that unfamiliar building and couldn't hear what taoshi was shouting at me.
