My Circular Light Technique finally made Wang Yingxiu understand her real cause of death.
She was deliberately murdered.
The murderer was Song Yixuan, the man she loved so desperately.
As a rising young entertainer, Song Yixuan couldn't afford to let the public know about his relationship with an ordinary girl. Moreover, after Wang Yingxiu got pregnant, she became extremely stubborn. She not only refused to have an abortion but also wanted to marry Song Yixuan and become his legitimate wife.
How could Song Yixuan possibly agree?!
There were several wealthy women who had taken a fancy to his fresh face and wanted to have some fun with him. Not to mention marrying Wang Yingxiu, even if the news of his having a girlfriend got out, his bright "money" future would be severely affected!
So... Song Yixuan came up with a vicious plan.
He quietly sneaked into Wang Yingxiu's house.
Since Wang Yingxiu's mother thought it was a disgrace that her daughter was pregnant out of wedlock, she locked her up at home.
Song Yixuan faked the scene of Wang Yingxiu falling from the building while trying to escape. When he rushed downstairs in a hurry, he saw a large pool of blood under Wang Yingxiu, but she was still alive. When she saw him coming down, she desperately grabbed the corner of his pants and called for help.
Song Yixuan panicked. He lied that he had called the 120 emergency number and then fled.
Poor Wang Yingxiu lay in the alley in the middle of the night, still hoping that her man would come with the emergency doctors to save her until she bled to death...
After seeing all these entanglements between them, I couldn't help but complain in my heart.
Was this what they called a lovestruck girl meeting a heartless man?
For the sake of a man, Wang Yingxiu not only wasted the hard - earned money of her family but also lost her own life and the life of her unborn child!
Even now, she was almost on the verge of going mad for this man who didn't deserve her devotion.
What a silly woman...
Wang Yingxiu's malevolence could no longer be contained, and all her rationality had been devoured.
Although she was a spirit, her fingernails had grown to about two inches long. She dug them into Song Yixuan's neck and lifted him off the ground with his feet dangling.
"Stupid woman! Are you still going to do something stupid!"
I pinched a Peace - of - Mind Talisman and tried to calm her down. But suddenly, a red shadow rushed out from behind me, bit off the talisman in one mouthful, chewed it "crunchily" and spat it aside.
It was Wang Yingxiu's stillborn ghost child!!
He had been infected by his mother's malevolence, and his skin, which was originally bluish - purple, had turned blood - red.
I felt a pang of nervousness in my heart.
With my current ability, I couldn't even deal with a single Red - Dressed Ghost, let alone Wang Yingxiu, who was a mother - and - son pair of evil spirits. I'm afraid that even when I was still intact and could use the Five - Thunder Divine Technique, I might not have been able to handle them...
The ghost child didn't wait for me to come up with a solution. He opened his mouth, which was stretched almost to his ears, and bit towards my face.
I had no choice but to take two quick steps backward and threw out a Ghost - Suppressing Talisman. Although the spiritual consciousness of this yellow talisman was weak and basically useless against a Red - Dressed Ghost, I still hoped it could buy me some time to retreat to a safe distance.
The rolled - up yellow talisman hit the ghost child right on the forehead. Just as he was about to get up angrily and chase after me, suddenly, with a "pat", a lollipop with its wrapper peeled off fell out of the yellow talisman. It was a candy I had specially bought for him.
The ghost child had never seen the light of day because of his biological father. His life had been hard enough, and I hoped he could feel a bit of the sweet kindness in the world.
He was stunned for a moment. Finally, he couldn't resist the temptation and reached out to grab it.
On the other side, Wang Yingxiu had already choked Song Yixuan until his eyes rolled back. It seemed that she wanted to strangle this heartless man to death with her own hands!
However, once a ghost kills someone, it will never be able to regain its sanity. It will be forever tempted by the dual pleasures of killing and soul - devouring and turn into a demonic creature that harms the world... Until it commits heinous crimes, it will be captured by the ghost messengers of the Underworld and thrown into the eighteenth level of hell to suffer eternal torment until it is completely annihilated!!
"For the sake of a scumbag, how many people are you going to harm?!"
With Wang Yingxiu's hands locked around Song Yixuan's neck, I took the opportunity and directly pasted two yellow talismans on her forehead and chest.
The yellow talismans were "hissing" and emitting black smoke. I didn't care whether Wang Yingxiu could understand me or not. "If Song Yixuan dies here, it will implicate me and your mother. Moreover, if you don't want to be reincarnated, what about your son? He worked so hard to choose you as his mother in the sky, but you actually ignore your child for the sake of revenge and let him disappear into thin air!"
"..."
Under the effect of my two Peace - of - Mind Talismans and my nagging like a chant, Wang Yingxiu's ferocious face gradually calmed down. Although she was still holding Song Yixuan by the neck, the strength in her hands had weakened a lot.
"You mean... my baby will also be implicated by me?!"
She didn't turn to look at me, but her voice was no longer the ear - grating roar.
"Yes. Is it worth it for this scumbag?"
Seeing that there was a chance to reason with her, I quickly said, "Although you and your child were harmed by Song Yixuan in this life, you will still be mother and child in your next reincarnation. Are you willing to let him be reincarnated but disappear before even taking a look at the world?"
As I said this, I pointed at the ghost child who was happily licking the lollipop.
We exorcists generally follow the principle of showing our strength first, reasoning, and then negotiating terms. If the negotiation fails, we will use magic to capture and subdue the ghost...
When doing these exorcism rituals, we will be involved in the cycle of cause and effect.
We are different from the Taoist priests who have entered the Taoist register. They are like the regular army with official status. Even in their old age when they are running out of energy and burdened with karmic obstacles, they can still practice in peace in their sect's Taoist temple. But for us folk practitioners, we don't have such conditions. It would be the best situation if we could have one or two disciples to take care of us in our old age!
I would never follow the creed of "only killing, not saving" like the Wenshan School.
When I was dealing with the female ghost on Wei Yuan's body before, A Jian helped me. He was like a ghost under my command and a manifestation of my strength.
Wang Yingxiu had witnessed A Jian's terror and knew that my strength should not be underestimated. So in the past few days, she had been obedient and kind to me. If she could let Song Yixuan go after I reasoned with her, it would be a great merit for me... not for Song Yixuan's sake, but for her and her child!
"But I'm not willing!"
Wang Yingxiu didn't turn her head to look at the ghost child as I pointed. Her pair of blood - red eyes still stared at Song Yixuan, whose face was distorted.
"If you kill him, he will be directly captured by the ghost messengers for trial. After drinking the Mengpo's Soup, he will forget everything..."
I continued to persuade her patiently, "What's the point of that? Can it offset all the sufferings you've endured? Why not let him continue to live in the world and let him taste the pain of living in agony! Isn't this kind of immediate retribution better?"
Finally, Wang Yingxiu turned to look at me. "Living in agony? Immediate retribution?!"
"Yes!!"
I let out a soft sigh of relief. Wang Yingxiu's sanity had finally returned.
It seemed that she had accepted the persuasion I came up with on the spot, so I didn't have to consider the fierce fight of forcibly killing and capturing her soul.
If Wang Yingxiu had been stubborn and only wanted to kill Song Yixuan, I would have had no choice but to flee for my life.
Wang Yingxiu was a Red - Dressed Ghost. If she killed the man she loved, she would surely lose all her sanity.
If I didn't run, she would definitely launch a non - discriminatory attack on me. As a ghost without a physical body, she would naturally want to find a container that could move freely in the sunlight...
I didn't have the Thunder Spell, so I simply couldn't fight against a Red - Dressed Ghost.
Although A Jian could help me, for a Red - Dressed Ghost who had lost her mind, the only way he could deal with her was probably to kill and devour her soul.
I didn't want A Jian to be involved in the worldly cycle of cause and effect again, lest it dirty his path to reincarnation.
