Chapter 10: Ghost Wall

At this moment, Wang Yi turned to Wang Wu and said, "You should go as well. Do not mention this to anyone. And please close the door behind you."

Wang Yi shook his head without answering, and simply said to Old Lady Li: "You should go out first and inform Master Zhang that before dawn tomorrow, no one should approach this room. Additionally, take these two young girls with you."

As soon as Wang Yidu finished speaking, Xiao Liuping immediately fell silent. Her previously tightly closed eyes suddenly opened wide, the dark pupils almost filling her entire eye sockets, giving the impression that they could capture a person's soul. She stared fixedly at Wang Yidu, paused for a moment, and then slowly nodded in response to him

Master Wang waved his hand and said: "You get in the car first. The wild ghost in this lonely grave has just been subdued by my son from hetushu.com. It will no longer cause any harm in the future. I know you must be looking for me in Er Gou. Don't say anything else; we will go to the Zhang family right away"

Old Lady Li felt a sense of relief in her heart as she saw her husband respectfully ushering an elderly man into their home, followed by a man in his fifties. A sudden jolt ran through her mind, "Isn't this Wang Daxian from Ergou Village? How did my husband manage to invite him over? Could it be..." With this thought, she couldn't help but turn her gaze towards the young Liu Ping lying on the bed.

Wang Dadao: "You have encountered a ghostly wall! If I hadn't called your name in time, you would have kept circling that lonely grave until you exhausted yourself to death"

I am grateful that the esteemed immortal still remembers me. For the past ten years, I have been waiting for this day, and just a few days ago, I calculated the date. I did not dare to delay even for a moment and prepared some items. Today, I hurried here to protect the immortal! Oh, this is my adopted son and also my closed-door disciple, named Wang Changgui

As soon as Wang Yi entered the room, without saying a word, he walked straight up to Xiao Liuping, stared at her small face for a while, and then spoke softly: "It really is her! She looks just like her."

At this moment, Granny Li noticed that the old man had been gone for more than two hours. Logically speaking, even if the roads were difficult due to the rain, this duration should have been sufficient for a round trip. Why had he not returned yet? Could it be that something unexpected had happened? The more she thought about it, the more anxious she became, yet she was unable to leave to search for him. Little Liu Ping seemed to be burning with fever even more severely now; not only was she babbling nonsensically, but her hands and feet were also flailing about as if she were fighting with someone.

Old Lady Li thought to herself, with such heavy rain outside, how could you still drive us out? It is truly inconsiderate. However, it was not appropriate to voice this directly, especially since the person in front of her was the renowned master from the nearby villages, known for his eccentric temperament. She nodded slightly and led Zheng Jie and Li Caixia out of the house. Fortunately, the main hall was very close; with a few quick steps in their raincoats, they arrived without the children getting wet from the rain

In fact, Wang Wu had long since wanted to leave this room. The incident from decades ago still sends shivers down his spine when he thinks about it now. Upon hearing Wang Yi's words, he quickly nodded and said, "Rest assured, Master!" He then turned and left, closing the door behind him.

Just as Granny Li was in a predicament, a voice suddenly came from the entrance of the library: "Esteemed Immortal, please come in!"

Suddenly, the entire room became dim. Wang Yi stood at the foot of Xiao Liuping's bed, and at that moment, he noticed that Xiao Liuping was no longer as noisy as before; she lay there quietly, her eyes tightly closed. However, what was astonishing was that her originally charming and beautiful face had undergone an incredible transformation! Her nose and jaw gradually became pointed, her ears shrank to small, round shapes, and not only that, but fine white hairs began to sprout on her once smooth face at a visible speed!

Wang Wu knew that Wang Daxian possessed supernatural powers, and his son was certainly not an ordinary person. He nodded and climbed into the ox cart. The driver was a man in his fifties named Wang Changgui, who was the adopted son of Wang Daxian, essentially the son that Wang Daxian referred to. Upon seeing Wang Wu getting into the cart and preparing to read, Wang Changgui raised his whip and urged the ox cart towards the Zhang family's ditch.

Upon hearing this, Wang Wu immediately broke into a cold sweat and said, "Great Immortal, you have saved Wang Wu's life!"

Wang Wu hurriedly nodded and said: "Yes! Moreover, I was clearly walking on the main road just now, but how did I end up in front of that grave?"

Upon witnessing this, Wang Yi was also taken aback. Although he had mentally prepared himself, the changes in Xiao Liuping were indeed strange, and anyone would find it difficult to remain calm in such a situation. Not to mention Wang Changgui behind him! Wang Yi knew what the immortal looked like at that moment, and after calming himself slightly, he solemnly bowed and said: "Immortal! I am Wang Yi, the one from the small path in Er Gou decades ago. I wonder if the immortal still remembers me?"

Wang Wu was well aware of whom Master Wang was referring to, but Old Lady Li had no idea and asked, "Master, who does she resemble?"
