Chapter 628 Here?
She looked over it several times, her face full of affection, before handing over the longevity lock.
Changtian shook his head, he naturally wouldn’t reach out to take it: "Have you recently had a feud with someone?"
Old Man Zeng and his wife exchanged a glance, then confusedly said: "Why would you say that, sir?"
"This is the Ghost Technique, although it’s a minor spell, it is more than enough to take a mortal’s life." Changtian said faintly, "This magic has an interesting name, called ’Returning’, the caster buries the item under the old locust tree, then can perform the technique."
Old Man Zeng might be old but he wasn’t befuddled, anger flashed in his eyes as he said: "Is someone secretly trying to kill us?"
"Indeed. This person must know that you have a blood relative who’s deceased, and died in a mishap, hence they buried the relic here. The souls of those who died tragically usually linger around the place of their death, unwilling to leave, and in time become evil ghosts. The caster buries the relic here and performs the spell, leading the dead souls here. This fragrance bag disperses a scent called the top three scents, which the living dislike, but ghosts find irresistible. With this fragrance bag here, ghosts will visit much more readily." In these past years, he had seen many interesting techniques, realizing that over the tens of thousands of years past, many new magic divine skills have appeared. Human creativity is indeed not to be underestimated.
Ning Xiaoxian chimed in: "After hearing what you said about the Night Patrol Deity, I initially thought the ghost coming last night was the Night Patrol Deity, but it seems such a thing is not a ghost."
Old Man Zeng’s face turned pale: "What, it came last night?" Granny Liu also grabbed his arm in fright.
"We scared it away." She said this, glancing at Changtian with a sidelong look, he just acted as if he didn’t see, "But if the ghost is eager to return home, it might still come again in the future."
"Eager to return home?" Granny Liu’s face turned ashen, yet a glimmer of hope appeared in her eyes. "Girl, are you saying, Qiu’er might still come? We might see her again?"
Er. Did the old lady catch the wrong point? Ning Xiaoxian frowned and said: "Yes, but it has become an evil ghost. Instinctively it would trace back to its bones, it’s just a reflex. If it sees you, what was once loved during life turns into hate after death, by then..."
Granny Liu seemed to not hear, only numbly said: "I can see Qiu’er again, see her one more time."
Changtian coldly interrupted: "Give up that thought. The dead have long gone, meeting between yin and yang is defying heaven’s will, it will cost you your lifespan."
Granny Liu cried: "If I could see my Qiu’er one more time, what does it matter if my lifespan is shortened!" Seeing Changtian’s cold expression, she thought this man had a heart of stone, so she fell to her knees in front of Ning Xiaoxian, pulling Old Man Zeng along to kneel as well: "Girl, you seem capable, please use some magic to let us see our child one more time, we are willing to pay any price!"
Ning Xiaoxian felt very awkward. She was most uncomfortable with such situations, so she had no option but to sidestep and avoid the bow, sighing: "Please stand up first."
The two old folks supported each other. How could they stand?
She looked up at Changtian, only to see him with both hands behind his back, face indifferent. Clearly intending to watch the show with folded arms. She couldn’t help but feel frustrated: the trouble at the valley ground was stirred by him, yet the final blame was laid on her.
In the snowy weather, would it be right to let these two elderly in their sixties kneel on the ground? She bit her lip and said: "Alright, then I..." Changtian doesn’t care, she could take charge, that’s alright, isn’t it? To deal with mere ghosts, there’s no need for Lord Ba Snake himself to act.
Before she finished speaking, Changtian’s transmission already sounded in her ear: "We will be leaving soon, can’t trouble with these petty affairs."
Can’t trouble with these petty affairs. Yet he let Old Man Zeng dig up the Spell Bag from under the locust wood! She glared at him in anger, also transmitting back: "What exactly do you want!" This ghost hasn’t been eliminated. Within a few days it would surely return. Then without her and Changtian’s aid, this village’s hundred or so people would all die tragically. An evil ghost eats humans, it won’t just eat Old Man Zeng and his wife and let it be.
Finally reached the main point, his lips slightly curled: "If you stop being angry with me, I’ll let you stay a couple more days, to subdue this ghost." She has always been kind-hearted toward mortals, the lives of this village, will surely force her to give in a little.
Ning Xiaoxian was at a loss wondering whether to laugh or cry: "Whatever!" She extended her hand to help the two elderly up from the snow and said: "It’s cold, let’s go inside. Tell me the whole story in detail."
