Things are what they are, but it's quite troublesome. There's no clear right or wrong in this matter; after all, no one wants this situation to arise. Old Man's Son is the same—why be so greedy? Can you really rely on your father's death to gain wealth? Even if you do have that wealth, do you have the nerve to spend it? If someone were to kill Pervert, I certainly wouldn't just ask for some money as compensation—I would definitely present a banner! One side would read "Eliminating Harm for the People!" and the other "Guardian of the People!"
Sister clearly didn't expect this situation to happen to her. She looked at me for help, her big eyes filled with pity and vulnerability. Sigh, this is my responsibility; fine, I'll see it through. This dirty work still falls on me.
"Recitation of the Ten Faults, Zhu Yao Chang, Ten Thousand Emperors set the ceremony. Silent River and Sea, Mountain Hidden in Clouds. Sun and Moon Stand Still, The Celestial Gem Cannot Move. Demonic Binding, Ghostly Purification. Revive the Dead, White Bone Transformation. Scholar of Ultimate Learning, Recitation of the Ten Faults. Then Five Emperors' Guards, Three Realms Suppression, Demonic Essence Lost Eyes, Ghost Demon Extermination, Dying to Save, Obtain Life After Death. So Scholar, Pollution Has Not Cleared, Body Not Yet Enlightened, Summon the Ten Directions, Unestablished Authority, Deity of Earth, Binding Spirit; yet dead already, cannot be reborn. Recite This Chapter Lightly; the body will suffer calamity. Offering Respectful Tribute, Portal Prosperity. Eternal Prosperity with good causes and conditions. Disaster-Free, Divine Guardian. The Sutra is Profound and Wonderful, Unparalleled Jade Capital. Limitless Salvation for The Origin of All Paths, Majestic Brahma; virtue difficult to surpass." I formed a Zhen Gen hand seal and recited a passage from the Transcendental Sutra.
To save people is one of the Eight Treasures Mystique; the most common method is to form a Zhen Gen hand seal and recite a section from the Taishang Dongxuan Lingbao Wuliang Du Ren Shangpin Miaojing—commonly known as the Transcendental Sutra.
After finishing the chant, the Resentment from Hungry Ghost began to dissipate. It's strange; after this Resentment faded away, I wonder where it went? Throughout history, if all that Resentment were gathered together, what kind of scene would that create? Haha! (Later I regretted this thought.)
Hungry Ghost gradually lost his Killing Spirit characteristics; his originally green eyes regained clarity. Now he was simply Uncle Song's departed soul.
"Once a person dies, everything should disperse; any grudges or grievances belong to those still living. What you need to do now is hurry to Yama's Hall to report. You must go within six hours; otherwise, your soul will scatter." I was scaring him; in reality, he could report within seven hours. But I was so tired today (having been hungry and listening to a war god from thousands of years ago talk about Divine Communication while being knocked out by a Violent Woman). It wasn't easy for me—after finally getting a bowl of noodles and incurring debt while helping someone catch ghosts!
Hungry Ghost seemed like he still had something to say but was already unclear.
"Alright then; you want your body buried peacefully?" Seeing Hungry Ghost's hesitant expression and nodding head made me continue: "After reporting back, give your son or partner a dream message. If that doesn't work out, then send a dream to her." I pointed at Sister.
Sister immediately shook her head vigorously. "No! No! You should go with my dad instead! I already sleep so little; if you come along, I won't get any sleep at all."
Sister was almost crying from anxiety.
"Then forget it; if it comes down to it, just come find me." I yawned again. Sigh, if only there were a place where I could take a nap right now! But I still didn't have a place to stay... I wonder if there are any temples or Daoist monasteries nearby? As a wandering Daoist, I should be able to find lodging.
"Alright then; if fate allows us to meet again." I waved my hand and Hungry Ghost disappeared. To be honest, if fate allows me again, I'd rather not see him—his appetite is too much for me!
I was lucky this time to encounter a ghost who hadn't yet transformed his Resentment into Blood Qi; if that Killing Spirit had Blood Qi with him, it wouldn't have been so easy to resolve. At least my current skills aren't sufficient for that.
"Did he leave?" A timid voice came from beside me—it was Sister.
"Scared?" I couldn't help teasing her; she looked so bold when she kicked earlier but was now so timid when facing me. "That kick you delivered was quite impressive!"
"A rogue is different from a ghost; I'm most afraid of ugly things." Sister replied with a tremor in her voice. "Did he possess me?"
"Yes."
"Well... I didn't do anything to hurt you, did I?" This Sister is quite kind. "You!"
Oh no, I'm about to cry again.
"I did, how could I not?" I continued to tease her. "You don't even know how much you've eaten, you scared the Cafeteria Aunt half to death, and besides, everything you ate was life!" This was true; that Hungry Ghost had almost no elements left.
Upon hearing the first part of my sentence, Sister's eyes became wet. Just as she looked like she was about to cry from fear, she suddenly burst out laughing at the second part.
"Wasn't he killed by my dad? Why is he just focused on eating after attaching himself to me?" Sister turned into a curious little one.
"That's just how honest people are. What he clings to isn't holding a grudge against your dad but rather his nostalgia and reluctance for the family Reunion Dinner. After becoming a Killing Spirit, he only remembers that there's one meal he hasn't eaten yet. So after possessing you, he manifests just like a Hungry Ghost." That's right; this Killing Spirit will repeat the one thing it is most obsessed with. If its obsession is to kill someone, then after killing that person, it won't stop but continue killing. If its Resentment completely transforms into Blood Qi, then it won't just be a simple ghost anymore.
"So, you should be grateful to him. If he were eating in a school cafeteria, he'd want to go to a big hotel; your family would be ruined by him!" I scared Sister. "Alright, the matter has been resolved; I should be leaving now. By the way, let me ask you one last question: do you really think I'm ugly?" I still couldn't shake off Sister's first impression of me.
"Well, you're okay, barely acceptable, but why do I feel like you're a bit sleazy right now?" Sister was quite straightforward and showed no concern for my increasingly green face.
It's the first time someone has called me sleazy... all thanks to that Pervert!
"Forget it; I'm leaving. If anything happens in the future, don't come looking for me." I waved my hand at Sister with a face full of black lines.
"Tch, no grace!" Sister stuck out her tongue at me and turned around, hopping away.
As I walked out of the alley, it was almost nine o'clock now. There were still many shops waiting for Late Night Snack business. Although it wasn't time for Late Night Snacks yet, there were already quite a few people around. The evening breeze suddenly reminded me of something—I realized I didn't even know that Sister's name! No, no, that's not the point; the point is that I'm broke! And I haven't even found a place to stay! Oh no, I should have borrowed some money from that Sister! Now look at this; here I am, a temporary worker from the Heavenly Bureau of Human Affairs about to spend the night on the street!
As I lamented my miserable situation, a hand reached out toward me with a piece of bread in it.
"Earlier, thank you for that. Here, let me treat you to some bread." It was Sister again. "Come on; there's a milk tea shop up ahead that's really good. I'll treat you!"
There’s no way out; that Sister actually came back.
"Aren't you afraid I'm a rogue?" For some reason, I really enjoyed teasing this Sister.
"If rogues had your level of professionalism, then everything would be peaceful." Sister laughed. What’s going on? Does she look down on me?
I took a bite of the bread. "Ugh, ugh, ugh, why is there sausage in this bread?" That's it, I've broken my vow. It's not that I have a strict rule against eating meat. But for some reason, once I indulge in anything meaty, I can't use my powers. Without powers, Yin Zheng'an is just like a steak without black pepper.
"Country bumpkin, this is called a hot dog. I kindly added an extra sausage for you, and instead of thanking me, you make that face? You’re asking for a beating!" Sister proudly waved her fist in front of my eyes.
"I'm a cultivator; I can't eat meat," I said with a grimace. "If I do, I'll lose my powers."
"Huh? What should we do then?" Sister seemed to realize I had no reason to lie and suddenly got anxious. "Do you have many enemies? Will they take advantage of your loss of power to get back at you?" The girl had quite the imagination.
"Not really; I just came down from the mountain and haven't had time to provoke any enemies." If there were any, it would only be Jin. "Look, we're even schoolmates!" I showed Sister my uniform, which was similar to Guo Degang's long coat. "By the way, can you lend me some money?"
"What do you need it for?" Sister looked wary. "What is that you're wearing? A long coat? I didn't hear our school taught cross-talk!"
"Isn't it a school uniform?" I was surprised.
"Nonsense! What university has uniforms? Who tricked you?" Sister's expression was one of schadenfreude. "Why do you need to borrow money?"
"I don't have anywhere to stay," even with thick skin, I felt embarrassed.
"Then come stay with me," Sister said.
"What???"
