The two injured masters were helped to the room to rest. The remaining people looked at the mess everywhere and looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan had just shown their skills. Everyone was convinced. Some people said: “Little master, what should we do now?”
Those masters were a little embarrassed. Originally, they were invited to conduct the sacrifice, but they themselves invited a wild ghost, so they felt a little embarrassed to accuse others of not giving face.
“Your ancestors are still waiting, so you’d better ask all the masters to finish the ceremony.” Xie Lingya said.
They just stood there and stared for a long time. It was impossible to send them back today. And inviting them over next time would be too much trouble.
After tidying up the scene, two masters were replaced, the mantra was recited again, and great-grandfather and his wife were invited to the scene for the second time.
The masked “great-grandfather” looked around and suddenly walked up to Pang Jie, who smiled flatteringly. “Great-grandfather” raised his hand and slapped him!
Pang Jie covered his face and shouted: “Master, he is also possessed by a wild ghost!”
Xie Lingya hadn’t closed his eyes yet and saw with his own eyes the great ancestor of the Pang family sitting on the “corpse”. He said: “There is no wild ghost, it’s your ancestor, he really wants to slap you too.”
Pang Jie: “…”
——Whether it’s a lonely ghost or the real ancestor, don’t they all want to slap him?
The master on the side also said: “It is precisely because the Standing Corpse Ritual requires the sacrifices to be clean. You soiled the sacrifices, which made great-grandfather angry and gave the lonely ghost an opportunity to pretend to be someone else!”
In fact, although this master didn’t see what happened with his own eyes but based on his experience of doing it for so long, he could estimate it was pretty close.
Xie Lingya imagined the scene. It might be that after the great ancestors of the Pang family were invited, they were so angry that they didn’t want to sit down when they saw the sacrifices. At this time, the two lonely ghosts sat down, causing the real great ancestors and his wife to be unable to sit down again. They must be so angry that they might have wanted to run around in circles in the yard.
Those two people were able to withstand Xie Lingya’s Lingguan Jue, which showed that they had certain strength. No wonder the Pang family’s great ancestors and his wife’s nests were occupied by magpies and they couldn’t drive them away.
Pang Jie seemed to be the target of public criticism. After being slapped again by the real great ancestor, he did not dare to complain again. His courage had long been shattered, and he squeezed back into the crowd with his mother dejectedly. Looking around, there were all condemning looks, and everyone felt that he deserved it.
He was in the limelight today, and it was conceivable that he would become the talk of the village for a long time to come. And he didn’t know what happened to his live broadcast room that was suddenly forced to close…
….
When the sacrifice was about to end, Xie Lingya came out of the ancestral hall. The Yin soldiers had captured the two ghosts and were waiting. When they saw him coming, they clasped their fists and saluted. The two ghosts must have been educated, and they were not as fierce as before. They stood with their heads lowered, not daring to look directly at Xie Lingya.
“What’s going on with these two people?” Xie Lingya asked.
“I asked just now. The two of them are wild ghosts that Pei Xiaoshan summoned from the mass graves. They were later released to cause trouble and wandered here. They were not arrested for a while.” Yin Bing replied.
It turned out to be the fault of that bast**d Pei Xiaoshan. When he escaped, he released a lot of mountain ghosts on the road to cause trouble for the pursuers. They didn’t know the exact number, so they couldn’t catch them all at the moment. Especially the countless ghosts in mass graves everywhere.
Xie Lingya sighed, “It’s true that even if they die, they won’t be cleansed. Forget it, you two take them away.”
“Okay, see you later, Teacher Xie.” The Yin soldiers saluted again and pulled the two ghosts away.
Before the two ghosts left, they whispered to Xie Lingya: “Thank you, thank you for not killing.”
Xie Lingya: “…”
What’s the matter, he didn’t say that he wanted to kill ghosts today, why should they thank him for not killing? What did those two Yin soldiers teach them??
….
The entire ancestor worship ceremony took almost a day and a night. After the ceremony was over, the host family also entertained the masters for a meal.
This time, Shi Changxuan and the three of them were also invited to eat together. This was the suggestion of the teacher’s class, as they were of great help in what happened just now. Those two wild ghosts were quite fierce, and even the masters couldn’t drive them away even though they chanted spells.
“I originally thought that you were just engaged in academics, but I didn’t expect that you are so great in practice as well.” Director Pang said with admiration.
Others were still guessing about their origins, but when Director Pang said that they were top students majoring in religious studies, they suddenly realized.
One of the masters asked: “Does the country still have universities teaching religious practices?”
Xie Lingya almost laughed, “You misunderstood, it’s not the same thing. This is not taught in universities, we are Taoist priests at home.”
“Hahaha, I just said.” The master discussed the factions with them again, and some of them even knew about Baoyang Temple and had heard of Wang Yuji’s name.
After finishing the meal, the host and guest had a good time, and Shi Changxuan also took the opportunity to collect some more information.
After eating, they still rested at Director Pang’s house, preparing to go back the next day. As soon as they arrived at Director Pang’s house, they saw Pang Jie here too.
Director Pang had drunk a few glasses of wine and said drunkenly: “You kid, why are you here?”
Pang Jie said with a grimace: “My dad is going to beat me to death, so I came to your house to hide.”
His dad had diarrhea, and he only now found that something big had happened while he was away. He was so angry that he took off his belt and whipped him.
“That’s okay.” Director Pang didn’t want to talk to him anymore and went to wash his face.
Pang Jie’s phone was broken, so he could not use his fu**ing phone anymore. After he stopped live broadcasting, the live broadcast room exploded. Many people poured into his Weibo and asked him if he was okay. Of course, these were all fans, many non-fans still questioned whether it was a stunt for hype.
Pang Jie felt very embarrassed and did not want to elaborate on his embarrassing experience. He only posted one sentence on Weibo: Brothers, I would rather believe that it is true than that it is not true!
Many people then said that he was a charlatan, but this was beside the point.
When Pang Jie saw Shi Changxuan and Xie Lingya, he felt very complicated. He laughed dryly and said, “Hello, two masters.”
When they met for the first time that day, Pang Jie didn’t say hello to them. Xie Lingya looked at him and said: “Will you come back to worship your ancestors in the future?”
“…” Pang Jie said depressedly, “From now on, I will come back during the holidays…”
Xie Lingya was happy, “If you don’t come back, it will be just like that. Just show some respect. There is nothing wrong with being careful in your words and actions and being hygienic.”
He had seen several such things. Some people were really unlucky when they got into trouble, and some people just wanted to die. Pang Jie, he was both unlucky and seeking death.
Pang Jie said: “Yes, yes…”
Xie Lingya and he just met by chance, and it was up to him to remind him so far, and it was his own business to listen or not. However, after experiencing this incident, it would be difficult for normal people not to learn a lesson.
Xie Lingya and the others left him and entered the room. Seeing that Xiao Dian still had more to say, Xie Lingya said, “If I had known it would be haunted, I wouldn’t have brought you here.”
Xiao Dian kept smiling, as if he had taken advantage, “I, I’m going to get some hot water for the teacher to drink.”
After that, he jumped out again.
“Did you get hit on the shoulder just now?” Xie Lingya asked Shi Changxuan. At the dinner table, he felt that Shi Changxuan’s hand was not very comfortable.
They had poured the talisman water before, but everyone stopped too early. Shi Changxuan was indeed beaten. He didn’t know that Xie Lingya saw it and whispered: “It’s okay.”
“Put some medicine on it.” Xie Lingya dug out the medicine Hai Guanchao had made, then walked up to Shi Changxuan and acted as if to take off his clothes.
Shi Changxuan ducked back and held his collar.
“?” Xie Lingya stared at him.
Shi Changxuan raised his head and glanced at Xie Lingya. He avoided Xie Lingya for a day or two, and his eyes did not meet for more than two seconds. At this moment, they suddenly looked at each other, and he couldn’t take his eyes away for a while.
Xie Lingya pulled his hand away and took off his clothes halfway. As expected, there was a bruise on his shoulder. “Be patient, I’ll press it for you.”
Shi Changxuan said nothing.
Xie Lingya saw that Shi Changxuan didn’t even hum. After taking the medicine, he lowered his head and said with a smile: “Hey, were you so worry-free when you were a child? Every time I lost in a fight, I would burst into tears.”
Shi Changxuan’s eyes were not filled with tears. He could see his bent eyes, light red lips, dark black hair and every detail. From such a close distance, every word he said hit Shi Changxuan’s heart and made a hole.
Xie Lingya had already stood up to give the medicine, but Shi Changxuan was still a little lost. He had been suppressing his mind for two days. But when he smiled, he felt like he had fallen into a bottomless pit, with nowhere to focus.
Phytolacca God whispered in his ear: “Shi Changxuan…”
Shi Changxuan then came to his senses, his face still indifferent.
Phytolacca God encouraged: “Come on. Let’s encourage each other.”
Shi Changxuan looked silent.
Bring order to chaos? Nothing can be done.
