Chapter 6, The Mysterious Taoist

Seeing his persistence, the woman could only invite us into her home. As we entered the dimly lit small house, a hoarse voice sounded: "Is the child back? Grandma has missed you dearly"

The people around me nodded one by one, their faces showing some astonishment

I looked at the content in the group, feeling quite pleased. My previously suppressed emotions have also been alleviated

After school, Li Yutian took a few of us and headed towards Han Ziyu's home

However, just as everyone was looking at me, someone suddenly shouted, the gatekeeper of the underworld has appeared again

"Who I am is not important. From your appearance, it seems that during this period, someone close to you has likely died. And it is not just one person," said the middle-aged man slowly.

"Well, contact me when you have time," the middle-aged man said before turning and leaving

Indeed, I have heard that women who die with grievances often become vengeful spirits. Not to mention, she was pregnant at the time of her death

Thus, everyone was coming up with their own ideas, and I was also contemplating ways to deal with Han Ziyu

Is it precisely because of her suicide that the gatekeeper of the underworld has appeared

As soon as the voice fell, I saw an old woman lying on the bed, her murky old eyes scanning the surroundings as if searching for someone

We looked at each other in silence, and in helplessness, we prepared to turn and leave

"She has already passed away, what is there to ask?" the woman said coldly. Then she attempted to close the door.

Her words enlightened me, and I never expected that behind Han Ziyu's death, there was such a story.

While I was lost in thought, Li Yutian asked again, "So, what was the reason for Han Ziyu's suicide?"

Upon realizing this, I shared the message in the group. Instantly, the group was thrown into an uproar

"Curses, do such things really exist?" I am somewhat skeptical.

Only then did we turn our attention to the mobile phone, and in the WeChat group, the gatekeeper of the underworld announced a new task: 'Zhang Fan must kiss any female classmate for one minute within six hours'

I turned and walked out, then made my way along the road home. Along the way, I was still thinking about Han Ziyu. Speaking of which, Han Ziyu is truly pitiful. After being dumped while pregnant, she, in a moment of despair, actually committed suicide in the classroom

She is Ziyu's grandmother. The woman sighed and said while tidying up the stove, "Since that day, Ziyu has never returned."

But the current issue is, how should we deal with Han Ziyu

The woman hesitated for a moment, then sighed and said: "She hanged herself in the classroom"

However, even if we find a ghost, what can we do about it

"Are you saying that our classroom is cursed?" I asked with wide eyes

At that moment, the old woman on the bed suddenly shouted nervously, "The child has returned, the child has returned"

I stopped in my tracks, looked at him, and then asked curiously, "Who are you?"

"I can help you without any problem, but first tell me, what have you encountered?" said the middle-aged man

"So, how did Han Ziyu actually pass away?" Li Yutian asked

I instinctively turned my head and saw her gazing at us. Her expression was one of indescribable surprise. Meanwhile, my heart sank instinctively, and I glanced around, feeling that something was amiss

After leaving the library, Li Yutian said, "It seems that the situation is quite clear; Han Ziyu is indeed the gatekeeper of the underworld. She has completely transformed into a vengeful spirit"

I pondered for a moment and then conveyed to him what I knew. After I finished speaking, the middle-aged man's expression grew serious.

This is truly wonderful, thank you. I said, looking at the middle-aged man.

Since the class monitor was taken away by the police, the entire class has become even more fearful of the gatekeeper of the underworld. After all, the tasks of the gatekeeper of the underworld are increasingly bloody, and a single misstep could lead to death

In any case, this operation has confirmed for us that Han Ziyu is indeed the gatekeeper of the underworld. This will also facilitate our subsequent actions

Who is this person? Li Yutian said

Later, the Qing Dynasty indeed fell, and the one who brought about its demise was Cixi, a woman of the Yehenara clan

However, the name mentioned by the women took us by surprise. This person turned out to be Li Yixiu. It is worth noting that this name is well-known in our school, as he is the son of the principal and was admitted to Tsinghua University last year, making him a source of pride for our school

I instinctively turned my head and saw a middle-aged man dressed in a gray robe, wearing glasses, resembling a young intellectual sent to the countryside.

In this chaotic situation, we welcomed the end of school.

In the afternoon, Li Yutian announced our discovery. Consequently, the entire class mobilized to seek ways to deal with the ghost

"This Wang Yinyang will definitely save us. Zhang Fan, you tell him how much he wants, and I will pay." said Li Yutian, the wealthiest student in the class, without hesitation

I never expected him to be that heartless person I murmured to myself

Someone went to invite a statue of Buddha, and others took out some talismans to stick on the chairs. Even more people began to perform the great deity dance

Just as I was lost in my thoughts, a voice suddenly rang out: "Young man, I see that your forehead is dark, as if there are ghostly spirits entangled with you"

And that culprit not only faced no punishment but ultimately gained admission to a prestigious university. They are no longer in this classroom. Under such circumstances, it is only natural for Han Ziyu to transform into a vengeful spirit.

Perhaps everything will come to an end once we find the ghost of the classroom

The middle-aged man waved his hand and then said to me that he is a practitioner of the Dao, and that he does good deeds solely to accumulate virtue

"This is the tears of a cow. If you apply it to your eyes, you will be able to see ghosts," said the middle-aged man

The next day, I arrived in the classroom and, holding that bottle of cow's tears, I showed it off to everyone before preparing to use it

This moved me deeply, and I couldn't help but start a conversation with him. After chatting for quite a while, I learned that his name is Wang Yinyang, and he is a Taoist priest

Just as I was pondering, someone immediately raised this question. Li Yutian, however, provided an explanation: "Let's try all those methods for driving away ghosts, such as black dog blood and the urine of a young boy." "That's a good idea," someone realized.

So it is like this. I held the small bottle and expressed my gratitude to him with quite a few words

Although it seems quite amusing, there truly is no other way for everyone

I have also heard that cow's tears can see ghosts. This way, we will be able to find ghosts

"The tears of the cow that I have entrusted to you can be used to find ghosts. Once you see it, please tell me what kind of ghost it is," said the middle-aged man

"Yes, at that time the child was already six months old," the woman said, then waved her hand impatiently, "Alright, I have already told you so much, now you can leave, right"

I looked at him excitedly and hurriedly exclaimed, "You are right, I am currently encountering something unclean, and I do not know if you can help me"

However, regardless of the circumstances, we still left Han Ziyu's home

However, Li Yutian hurriedly stopped her and then told her that we truly have urgent matters to discuss with her

When I returned home, holding the bottle and looking around, my heart was filled with excitement. Regardless of the circumstances, the encounter with Wang Yinyang this time might just be an opportunity

In an instant, I held the small bottle, my gaze sweeping around, my face pale with color.

In the face of ghosts, we as ordinary people have no means to deal with them at all

"Who said that? She often comes to see me," the old woman suddenly shouted, her murky gaze fixed on us. For some reason, I always felt that this old woman was somewhat frightening

It is said that when Nurhaci destroyed the Yehe Jurchens, the leader of the Yehe tribe, Buyangu, swore to the heavens before his death: "Even if there is only one woman left in the Yehe Nara, I will still annihilate the Jianzhou Jurchens"

Upon hearing this question, the woman displayed a hint of resentment on her face. She shook her head and then coldly laughed, saying: "It’s that scoundrel who deserves a thousand cuts. If it weren’t for him sleeping with my daughter and refusing to take responsibility, my daughter wouldn’t have committed suicide"

"You must not doubt it; curses are indeed real. Some curses can even lead to the downfall of a nation," the middle-aged man said solemnly

"How could this happen, committing suicide by hanging in the classroom?" Li Yutian exclaimed. The others exchanged glances, unable to comprehend that Han Ziyu would actually take her own life in the classroom

There is a fierce ghost in our classroom, and it is likely that the days to come will not be peaceful

I listened quietly, my mind wandering in chaotic thoughts. I can also be fairly certain that Han Ziyu is the gatekeeper of the underworld

We came here to inquire about Han Ziyu's situation said Li Yutian

Her gaze looked at us with suspicion, and she couldn't help but ask: "Who are you? Who are you looking for?"

I am not very clear about this matter either. How about this, I will give you something." The middle-aged man thought for a moment and then handed me a small bottle. I took the small bottle and glanced inside; it seemed to contain clear water.

In this dire situation, one could say that everyone had thought of every possible solution. During this time, the homeroom teacher was furious about our strange behavior. However, at that moment, no one cared about her anger.

However, no matter what he says, I will remain skeptical. At this moment, the middle-aged man recounted a story.

Upon hearing what he said, I found myself somewhat convinced, as I have also heard about this matter

In this way, Han Ziyu committed suicide for this reason. Li Yutian nodded, then hesitated for a moment before saying: "So, your daughter was pregnant before she committed suicide"

It seems you have encountered a curse the middle-aged man said with a serious expression

Upon seeing this content, my expression changed dramatically, and my gaze suddenly became vacant. I could not believe that the task had fallen to me once again. This time, the task was strikingly similar to the last one involving Liu Fei, with the only difference being that one involved a sexual relationship while the other was merely a prolonged kiss

After passing through a shantytown, we finally arrived at Han Ziyu's home. Her house is very low and appears quite dark at a glance. Li Yutian walked in front and then knocked on the door. When the door opened, it was a woman who answered.

And Li Yutian asked again, who exactly is this bastard
