Chapter 10, The Wronged Ghost

"Do not be afraid, just sit tight, I will help you exorcise the evil spirit right away!" Ye Jiannan suddenly remembered that the girl before him was possessed, and it was imperative to expel the spirit as soon as possible. Otherwise, after twelve hours, the malevolent ghost would be able to successfully enter the girl's body and compel her to do harm

Three years ago, the boss went out and worked in another place for a few months. Upon returning, he discovered that his wife was pregnant, which was quite strange. He took her to the hospital for an examination, and it turned out she was only a little over one month pregnant

The boss took out the large axe that had saved his life from the room and led Ye Jiannan to the back of the inn

Setting aside these questions, Ye Jiannan asked the boss: "Where does that Yin-Yang master keep the ghosts?"

In a fit of rage, the boss violently beat the woman, and in his fury, he accidentally caused his wife's unborn child to be lost.

After a while, the girl said softly: "Alright, big brother, thank you so much. If it weren't for you, I would have probably been pushed off the bridge by a ghost long ago."

"Boss, it is now twelve o'clock, the time when the yang energy is at its peak. Let's go take a look!" Ye Jiannan said

So be it, as long as everyone is at peace, the boss does not intend to provoke her, allowing her to wander as she pleases, one day she will be reborn, and he will find his peace.

Ye Jiannan remained silent, gently patting the woman's shoulder. Upon seeing that the portrait had already been thrown out, the woman was no longer as fearful, yet her body continued to tremble.

On this night, the three of them dared not sleep; the entire inn was brightly lit until the crowing of the rooster. Ye Jiannan knew that at this time, the ghosts had already hidden in the dark corners, and only then did he close his eyes to sleep for a while

Later, after the boss heard that the weapon used to kill his wife could ward off evil spirits, he dug up the axe that had once taken his wife's life and placed it by the bedside. From that point on, the female ghost no longer dared to approach.

Then I turned around, you should get dressed as soon as possible! Ye Jiannan turned to look out the window

"Big brother, I am scared... it seems like someone is calling me in my head..." The woman rushed into Ye Jiannan's arms, holding him tightly.

However, the good times did not last long. Just six months after his wife's death, the sound of crying frequently echoed in the courtyard. Sometimes, the boss would see his wife appearing from the window; she would not enter his room but would go into the kitchen, visiting every few days.

It is unclear what the matter is with this female ghost, but she began to appear every night, occasionally bursting into the room where he resided. Sometimes, she haunted the second floor, and the news gradually spread, leading to a decline in guests. The owner became anxious and sought the help of a medium to exorcise the female ghost. However, after forty-nine days, this female ghost returned, and she was much more powerful than before, nearly taking the owner's life on one occasion

"Boss, what on earth is going on?" Ye Jiannan had encountered ghosts before, so he quickly regained his composure. Now, reflecting on the situation, he felt nothing but strangeness, devoid of any fear.

Tomorrow at noon we will go and take a look. I suspect that person with ulterior motives wants to gain more benefits from you, so they deliberately held back a bit.

The boss raised money again to bury his own wife, after all, she is still his wife!

However, the second floor is surrounded by houses, making it impossible to see any sunlight, which is an ideal place for ghosts. The female ghost later frequently appeared on the second floor, scaring away many residents, and the business of the inn plummeted. Sometimes when guests requested to stay on the second floor, the owner did not dare to accommodate them. It just so happened that this female ghost had not appeared for several months, and since this girl also requested to stay on the second floor, the owner finally dared to agree.

Ye Jiannan nodded and replied, "I think I understand the reason now. Is it that the Yin-Yang master has confined the ghost near the dead infant?"

"Big brother, when you were pulled by the ghost to jump off the cliff, I was right in the corner. Didn't you see me?" The girl seemed to have regained her senses, but still feared the outside and did not dare to look out, pressing her body against Ye Jiannan.

The boss glanced over, walked directly over, picked up his wife's portrait from the counter, and threw it out the door, exclaiming: "Even in death, she cannot find peace!"

"Has anyone died here before, or was this a cemetery before you built the house?" Ye Jiannan asked

"Not far, just here!" the boss said, pointing to the ground: "Look, the dead baby is buried about one meter ahead!"

I am waiting for you at the door, please change your clothes as soon as possible! Ye Jiannan knew that the girl was about to change her clothes. She was wearing a large coat belonging to the boss in the evening, and if she took off the coat, she would still be in a three-piece outfit.

Ye Jiannan carefully observed the girl's transformation; the dark aura between her brows had vanished, and her body was no longer trembling significantly

The boss hurriedly gathered 100,000 yuan, and as long as he didn't have to go to prison, anything could be discussed. Once the father-in-law received the money, he no longer inquired about the matter.

The man became anxious, dropped the knife, and fled, leaving no trace to this day. The boss initially intended to turn himself in, but when his father-in-law learned of the incident and found out the reason for the fight from the neighbors, he quietly settled the matter privately. He demanded 100,000 yuan from the boss, stating at the time, "The fault is not yours; just compensate for a life. This matter will benefit no one if it gets out"

Indeed, I will!" Ye Jiannan said as he watched the woman bid farewell and walk away, before returning to the inn

What causes the female ghost to become so fierce? Perhaps if we find the root cause, we can eliminate this female ghost

Later, the boss's wife’s lover found out and came to the door with a knife, claiming that he had killed her child. The boss panicked and grabbed a large axe to confront the man. Unexpectedly, he did not kill the man, but instead ended up killing his wife who was caught in the middle.

Ye Jiannan pondered for a moment; the corner of the wall had been subjected to ghostly techniques, rendering it completely invisible.

Ye Jiannan cast a glance and silently sat down on the sofa. The trembling woman also took a seat beside him. After a moment, she glanced at the counter and suddenly hugged Ye Jiannan tightly, her gaze filled with fear as she stared at the portrait on the counter

"I don't want to anymore, I'm scared." Although the girl felt embarrassed to undress in front of a stranger, she chose to have Ye Jiannan accompany her instead of succumbing to fear; she could no longer stay in this room alone.

The three returned to the inn and entered the owner's room together. On the owner's counter, there was a middle-aged woman being honored; this woman was not unfamiliar to Ye Jiannan, as she was the proprietress of the inn.

The next day, the girl did not dare to return to her room, so Ye Jiannan could only accompany her upstairs. In the room, she retrieved her clothes and cast an awkward glance at Ye Jiannan.

The boss let out a deep sigh and placed the large axe beside him: "Alas, the wretched woman, even in death, does not leave me in peace"

"You are being too polite. I am a sorcerer, and it is my duty to subdue demons and capture ghosts," replied Ye Jiannan

As Ye Jiannan stepped onto the rather narrow path, he immediately sensed a heavy presence of yin energy in this place, accompanied by an indistinct feeling in his heart, a sensation that only those with spiritual insight would experience

"No, I was already twenty years old when I built this house, and I didn't find any dead bones..." At this point, the boss's expression immediately changed, and after a moment of silence, he said: "The dead baby from that worthless woman's miscarriage was buried here, but that baby was only two months old!"

Ye Jiannan nodded, yet there was one thing he could not comprehend. The female ghost should have transformed into a vengeful spirit due to her deep resentment, but later she became even more powerful, which was truly perplexing

The situation is as follows ... ... '' The boss sighed again and began to recount the story

I will first turn on all the lights in the inn, you can think of a way slowly, I entrust this matter to you, sir! The boss looked at Ye Jiannan with a hint of anticipation in his eyes

The girl did not hesitate for a moment, grabbed it with one hand, closed her eyes, and gulped it down.

Before leaving, the girl left her phone number: "My name is Qin Qin, I study at County No. 1 High School, I am in my third year of high school this year, and I hope you can come to find me to play when you have time!"

"What happened at the back of the building?" the boss replied

I only have a superficial understanding, yet this ghost was able to deceive me, indicating that it is beyond my capability to handle!" Ye Jiannan replied

Ye Jiannan took a talisman for exorcism from his pocket, recited a binding spell, ignited it, and let the ashes fall into the purified water. He stirred it with a chopstick and sent it to the girl: "Just drink it and you will be fine"

Who would have thought that such an incident would occur at night, which left the boss quite troubled. It seemed he suddenly remembered something: "Young man, you are a master of yin and yang, aren't you?"
