Christmas and New Year 2025 Update…. Happy bonus update, you guys….
Xie Lingya was held by Shi Changxuan’s hand and pulled outside. People were coming and going in the Taoist temple. But h couldn’t help but jokingly say: “People will misunderstand you if you act like this.”
Shi Changxuan: “…”
Xie Lingya: “Haha, you came out to teach me. Is it indecent for me to touch someone like that? So you can’t stand it anymore?”
He asked himself, and thought this could probably be the only reason. He didn’t expect Shi Changxuan to be so old-fashioned. But if he thought about it carefully, it was also good that Baoyang Temple was not recruiting women here, otherwise wouldn’t he be a hooligan?
Shi Changxuan: “…”
Although Shi Changxuan realized that he had no regrets about the relationship, he lacked experience. Seeing Xie Lingya like this, he felt that he had nowhere to start.
Normally, Shi Changxuan didn’t like the chatter of the Phytolacca God, but now he was looking forward to it speaking. The words of the Reporting God might be able to give him some instructions.
The Phytophthora God sighed with emotion: “Xie Lingya is so straight!”
Shi Changxuan: “…”
“What did it say?”
…don’t mention it. Shi Changxuan shook his head and began to teach Xie Lingya how to look at people.
….
As for Ning Wanlai, he adjusted his mentality by himself, and after the last Dharma conference, he discussed it with the underworld officials, who were responsible for him. After that, every time he was transferred to work, Wang Wu would give him a warning in advance.
This was better than Ning Wanlai walking on the street and suddenly getting cold, so now it didn’t scare passers-by to death.
Ning Wanlai had just gotten off work that day. Halfway down the road, he felt his hands getting cold. So, he quickly sent a text message to his parents, then found a hotel room nearby and went to bed.
Sure enough, he fell asleep after a while, and then his soul left his body and went to work with Wang Wu.
“This errand is quite heavy. You can do it for two days and then go back.” The strongman said considerately. It would not be good for Ning Wanlai’s body to be hungry for a long time.
“Thank you, Brother Wang.” Ning Wanlai also changed into his official uniform. He had refused before and was looking forward to going back immediately. Later, after adjusting his mentality, he took the initiative to change into his official uniform.
Ning Wanlai and Wang Wu went to pick up the ghosts and brought them back. After working for more than a day, Wang Wu said: “You can go back by yourself.”
In the past few times, Wang Wu had picked him up and dropped him off, but now Ning Wanlai was almost independent.
So Ning Wanlai went back from the Chenghuang Temple by herself, thinking that he would wake up just in time for the variety show in the evening. He thought that if he could get back in time, he would watch it at home. If he couldn’t get home in time, he would see who was playing it and go to someone else’s house to watch the show.
The Yin Temple was remote and uninhabited. When he was going home, he passed by a deserted field. Ning Wanlai then heard a woman crying. He looked for it and found that it was a female ghost sitting on a stone tablet crying bitterly. He asked: “Beauty, what’s wrong with you? Can’t you be reborn?”
The female ghost looked at him, turned her back and continued to cry.
Ning Wanlai was also accumulating merit then said, “I know a Taoist priest. Can I help you to be saved?”
The female ghost let go of her hand and showed her face. She looked very pretty and pleasant. “What Taoist priest?” She paused and sighed again, “Forget it, no one can help me.”
Ning Wanlai said, “Come and listen.”
The female ghost hesitated for a moment, then simply regarded him as a tree hole, and confided: “I died here unexpectedly and could not be reborn, and my parents don’t believe in ghosts and gods, so they didn’t find anyone to save me.”
“A few days ago, a living person walked by and saw me and talked to me. I had never seen a living person who could see ghosts and was not afraid, so I said a few words to him. He asked me my name and birthday, and said he wanted to burn paper for me. I believed it and told him.”
“Later, he told me that his son had just died and had not married before he died. He felt that his son was lonely, I looked good to him, and had a good birth date, so he decided to discuss with my parents and arrange a ghost marriage for us.”
“My parents didn’t believe this. But somehow that person convinced my parents, maybe the point was he gave them some money, and they agreed.”
“It’s so shameless. What age are we in, and we still have arranged marriages?” And they even arrange marriages for dead people? Ning Wanlai said in disbelief, “What is that person’s name and what does he do? Is he a Taoist priest or a private master?”
The female ghost glanced at him and said, “I heard from other wild ghosts that that person is a Feng Shui master, but he is also very good at catching ghosts.”
“Then I’m still impermanent! ” Ning Wanlai said angrily, “I’ve just changed my uniform. Let me tell you, I’m not a ghost. I just went for a walk. I just got off work. Just wait, I will go to your house later, help you talk to your parents, and then ask someone to redeem you, and I will see where he goes to marry you!”
“Who dares to save me? You don’t know how powerful that person is. Don’t say you are impermanent. Even if you are really a strongman, it won’t work.” The female ghost said and sobbed again, “In a few days, I will have to share the coffin with his son’s bones.”
Ning Wanlai hesitated and asked, “Aren’t they all cremated now? How long has he been dead?”
She looked young, but she was actually an eldest sister who had been dead for decades.
Female ghost: “…”
Female ghost: “Woo, it’s just a description, the ashes will be placed in the same altar, is that okay?
“Sorry, sorry.” Ning Wanlai said with sweat on his brows, “But is this person really that powerful? Not even afraid of the underworld?”
He thought of Teacher Xie. He was originally very confident, but now he was a little less confident. Teacher Xie and Wang Wu knew each other, and Wang Wu seemed to be quite polite to him, but that person seemed not even afraid of ghosts.
The female ghost: “It’s like this…”
….
Xie Lingya was calling people to inform that the recruitment had ended. He informed the Taoist priests that had passed the interview and could come to report. In addition, he had rented their house, which was nearby. The old residential building had three bedrooms and one living room for only 1,000 yuan a month, and water and electricity were paid extra.
At this time, Ning Wanlai came and was led in by Zhang Daoting. “What’s wrong?”
The next religious ceremony he made an appointment with Ning Wanlai for was not today, and there were also no activities in the temple today.
“Teacher Xie, do you know a person named Sun Qingxiang? “Ning Wanlai asked.
“I don’t think I’ve heard of him.” Xie Lingya thought about it for a while, and then asked Shi Changxuan to ask again.
Shi Changxuan thought about it and said, “I have heard something, but I’m not a member of the same group.”
This not only meant that the person was not a Taoist priest, but also that everyone had different styles of behavior. Sun Qingxiang’s approach was closer to that of Pei Xiaoshan before, specializing in helping people design some Feng Shui bureaus that harmed others and benefited themselves, and do all kinds of underhanded things.
“What, your Mom found this person again? That would cost a lot of money.” Xie Lingya said while eating fruit.
“…No, my mother really isn’t looking for anyone anymore.” Ning Wanlai said, “I met a female ghost. She said that Sun Qingxiang wanted her to be his deceased son’s wife and engage in an arranged marriage – a ghost marriage.”
Ning Wanlai told his own experience. After Xie Lingya and Shi Changxuan heard this, they thought more. His son died and was not reincarnated. He did not give him salvation, and even arranged some kind of ghost marriage, either it was too difficult for him to be saved, or he didn’t want his son to be reincarnated at all.
If you think about it carefully, everyone had different ideas. There were ghosts like Ding Aima who didn’t want to be reincarnated. What’s more, this person could connect to yin and yang, and his son became a ghost. He could also see it, so maybe he wanted to keep it by his side to protect it.
Not to mention this, Xie Lingya also despised the behavior of arranged marriages, “It’s so shameless, it’s really lawless, there is no marriage law in the underworld.”
“That’s right. I originally wanted to help the female ghost escape from them. But the female ghost told me that Sun Qingxiang is very powerful and is not afraid of anything.” Ning Wanlai then said weakly, “Teacher Xie, what do you think we should do?”
“Is she afraid of bad luck?” Xie Lingya was shocked. This level is indeed high. Could it be another bloody storm…
Shi Changxuan also frowned, “What do you mean?
Ning Wanlai recalled what the female ghost said and said: “That guy is so awesome. Did you know that ghosts are also divided into levels? There are ghost kings from the east, west, north and south. They are the heroes among ghosts and are only one step away from the ghost immortals. Sun Qingxiang had a close friendship with the Eastern Ghost King and often worships him in front of the altar. As long as it is not related to official business, ordinary messengers would give way to the Ghost King!!”
Xie Lingya’s face turned cold for a moment: “Oh.”
