Chapter 6: Disturbance in the Residence

Grandmother held the jade under the light for a long time, and suddenly revealed an inscrutable smile. She asked me to bring the statue and then said to me: "This is blood jade; it can ward off evil spirits and also serve as a vessel for ghosts. With it, Qing'er’s soul will have a place to attach itself."

I hurried forward and supported Old Man Liu, saying, "Uncle, why are you in such a fluster?"

I am terrified, those people were killed by me, this...

After she finished speaking, she suddenly vanished into thin air. At that moment, the rooster outside began to crow, and the barking of the dog ceased. I knew that they had already left

At this moment, the outside was filled with ghostly figures. Once they rushed in, my grandmother and I would be utterly helpless. At this time, my newlywed ghostly wife had also fallen into a deep sleep. There truly seemed to be no better way out. I recalled the jade pendant hanging around my neck. Niu Er had told me before his death that this pendant could save my life. Unfortunately, Niu Er was already dead, and no one could tell me the origin of this pendant.

Su Qing shook her head and said to me: "No! They were all killed by you in their lifetime. If you were to kill them again, wouldn't that be adding to the crime? If you create more karma, who knows, one day you might die an untimely death on the street!"

Su Qing sighed softly and said to me: "Where there is a cause, there is an effect. You should not ask anymore. I will find a way. It is already four o'clock, you can rest now."

The door was suddenly blown open by the wind, and a fierce gust rushed in. Grandmother sat inside the room, her eyes tightly closed, murmuring something. I saw a baby crawling in through the doorway, its back covered in bloodstains, which was quite terrifying. The baby crawled to Grandmother's feet and reached out its small hand to grasp her ankle, but Grandmother remained unmoved, still murmuring something.

As soon as I lay down and opened my eyes again, the sky had already darkened somewhat. Su Qing and my grandmother were busy in the kitchen. I had just gotten out of bed when they brought in the fragrant dishes. During the meal, Su Qing only sniffed the food and did not pick up her chopsticks. Su Qing told me that she had gone outside the village to investigate, and the source was in the deep water pool. The reason those ghosts suddenly appeared was all because of that thing in the pool. So far, it is still unknown what it is, but to solve the problem, it must be eliminated.

Grandmother's spell seemed to have lost its effect, as the two little demons had already approached her, beginning to climb up her legs. They reached her neck and opened their small mouths. A row of sharp teeth was clearly visible, and being bitten was no trivial matter. Seeing that Grandmother was in danger, I was just about to rush out to help her when she suddenly opened her eyes and quickly formed a hand seal. The two little demons were struck by the seal and were flung away. A row of sharp teeth was clearly visible, and being bitten was no trivial matter.

"Someone has died, someone has died!" Old Liu gasped as he spoke

I had nowhere to retreat, so I could only look at my grandmother with a pitiful expression, hoping she would find a way to help me out of this predicament. My grandmother did not speak but made a gesture, indicating that I should take out the prayer beads. I suddenly understood and quickly removed the prayer beads from my wrist. Upon seeing the prayer beads in my hand, the little ghost actually began to fear me, and it no longer dared to approach me easily. At that moment, the little girl who had been clinging to my grandmother was also hurt by my grandmother's hand gesture and retreated from the room

Meanwhile, a little girl came in, and as soon as I looked, it was the same little girl who had just grabbed my neck behind the village.

And the picture book says this, but what about tomorrow, and the future? Why have so many ghosts suddenly come knocking at the door? Could it really be as Grandma said, that they want me dead

I stood behind the door, not daring to breathe, just waiting for those evil spirits to come in and find me. My grandmother said that they are coming for me, seeking to snatch my soul

What are you still standing there for? They will come again tonight, and this time I don't know how many there will be. What if that thing comes to the pond? Hurry up!" Grandma took a wad of crumpled bills from the money box and handed it to me

So what should I do? Who was I in my previous life? Why did I have to kill them? Do I have to repay the evil deeds sown in my past life in this life?

I took off the jade pendant and handed it to my grandmother, saying: "This was given to me by Niu Er before he died. He said this piece of jade could save my life"

Indeed, not long after, the figures standing in the courtyard disappeared, and Su Qing suddenly appeared in front of me, startling me. She smiled and said to us: "They have already left, but we must not let our guard down, as they may return at any moment. Moreover, I have sensed a powerful aura nearby; this matter will not be so simple and straightforward."

I thought this was the end, but little did I know it was just the beginning. At this moment, I saw shadows filling the yard, and of course, I knew very well that they were not human. I hurriedly closed the door and asked my grandmother what to do. She simply told me, "It will soon be the fourth watch; just hold on a little longer and it will pass!"

I recalled the strange scene when my grandmother asked about rice. If that's the case, that thing must be quite powerful! Before I could ask, my grandmother said to me: "Time is of the essence. After you finish your meal, go to Peach Village and invite Wu Bansian over; perhaps he has a solution."

Seeing that my grandmother was fine, I breathed a sigh of relief, but at that moment, the baby had already spotted me and was crawling towards me

I hurriedly asked her: "In your opinion, what should we do next? We cannot just sit idly by! Those evil spirits want to harm me, and we must find a way to eliminate them!"

I stepped out the door with that stack of cash, heading towards Peach Village. After the incident last night, not a single household in the village was open. Even though the sun was already high in the sky, I had yet to see anyone come out. It wasn't until I was about to leave the village that I finally spotted someone; it was Old Liu. This old man would usually get up early every morning to exercise and stretch his muscles, but as I watched him approach directly, his expression was quite unusual.

Speaking, my grandmother found a needle, pricked my finger, and let a drop of blood fall onto the jade. Then she drew Su Qing's ghost into that piece of jade and told me that, barring any unforeseen circumstances, she would soon awaken. As long as she awakens, those ghosts would not dare to approach easily.

Wu Bansian is a Taoist priest, and no one knows where he studied. However, he is somewhat well-known in our area. When people from nearby villages encounter unclean spirits, they either seek him out or turn to my grandmother. However, he is greedy and often demands exorbitant fees, which is why many prefer to ask my grandmother for help instead of him. Over time, an awkward situation has developed between our two families; the saying "rivals among peers" holds true in this case. Not only is Wu Bansian greedy, but he is also quite stingy. I am uncertain whether I can persuade him to help.

The wind has risen, and the debris in the courtyard is flying everywhere. The door is struck by the debris, producing muffled sounds, resembling someone knocking at the door. ... As the saying goes, if one does not do anything guilty, one need not fear ghosts knocking at the door. Indeed, I have never done anything guilty in my life, but my grandmother says I was a wicked person in my past life ...
