Those of us who practice the Way of cultivation all understand one thing: Genuine deities never possess a human body.
For the celestial gods, the bodies of mortal humans in the earthly world are heavy, dirty, and filthy. They would never possess a mortal body. Those charlatans and witches who always claim to have the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva or the Queen Mother of the West on them are either simply lying or are being possessed by some wandering ghosts pretending to be gods to receive incense offerings.
Even the so - called spirit mediums of the foxes, weasels, hedgehogs, snakes, and mice in the Northeast are just local spirits that are worshipped.
Lu Tianchang was immediately startled when he saw the Lord of Mount Tai possessing a young girl.
He immediately whispered to me in confusion, "Xiao He, that's a genuine deity, right? Why would he possess a mortal?"
The Lord of Mount Tai was a god, and there was a faint golden glow floating around his divine soul. Any cultivator who had achieved the Heavenly Eye Ability could see it.
Hearing Lu Tianchang's words, I shook my head. "Maybe he wants to take that young nurse away..."
When a god possesses a mortal body, either he will ruin his own cultivation or he will capture the soul of the possessed person to be his servant. The Lord of Mount Tai had just regained some worshippers, so he would naturally want to find a follower to serve him. The young nurse was cute and could be taken as a little maid to sweep around him.
Although when a god captures a soul, the mortal body will die, but his reputation is still a million times better than that of an evil ghost taking a life.
But in my eyes, gods and evil ghosts are the same. They both make people lose their lives for no reason!
"You can't leave!"
Seeing Lu Tianchang about to take me away, the Lord of Mount Tai immediately tried to leap over the two Buddhist monks and pounce on me.
Master Yongshan, who was following behind, also said, "Mr. Lu, I'd like you to take a look at this young girl too. She seems more like being possessed by some ghost."
"Master, I can't handle this person!"
True to his identity as a Taoist priest, Lu Tianchang shook his head like a rattle, looking completely unconcerned. "You'd better take her back to the temple and perform a proper exorcism."
Saying that, regardless of how the monks were trying to hold back the Lord of Mount Tai and the others, he reached out and pulled me back to his dowdy fortune - telling shop without stopping.
As Lu Tianchang slid open the glass door, a faint scent of sandalwood wafted into my nostrils.
"Grandpa, you're back!"
From behind the solid - wood counter, a young man with dark eyes and slightly grayish hair smiled and came out to greet us.
"I'm back. This is Du Xinghe. She's a girl I've known for a long time," Lu Tianchang said with a smile as he patted my shoulder.
"Ah... Grandpa's sister. Then I should call you great - aunt!"
The young man squinted his eyes and sized me up with a big smile.
This young man was only a few years younger than me. He had a cute dimple when he smiled. When he called me "great - aunt", I was so shocked that I waved my hands repeatedly. "No, no, no. Don't call me that. I'm not that old!"
"Hahaha!"
Seeing me blushing with embarrassment, Lu Tianchang couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Bai Yu is Grandma Bai's grandson and my daughter Xiyu's son. It's the right title to call you great - aunt."
"...Grandson of Grandma Bai?"
I was even more confused. Grandma Bai was a hedgehog that had achieved humanity. Then her grandson should also be a hedgehog. How could he be Lu Xiyu's son?
"I'm Xixi's mother's adopted son. So, it's correct to call you like this!"
Bai Yu laughed even more happily, as if he found my reaction very interesting. He looked behind me. "Didn't my grandma come back with you?"
"Uh..."
As soon as Bai Yu said this, my previously somewhat relaxed mood suddenly felt like it was being kneaded by someone. I was almost too uncomfortable to speak.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing my strange expression, Bai Yu also became nervous. He pressed one hand on the counter and jumped out from behind the one - meter - high counter. "Is something wrong with my grandma?"
"It's okay, it's okay."
Lu Tianchang reached out and pressed on Bai Yu's shoulder. "The original form of Old Lady Bai was stepped on a few times by that woman named Bai Wei in the capital. Last night, her divine sense recovered and she has already treated herself."
Hearing that Lu Tianchang knew so much, I immediately widened my eyes and asked, "What about... A Wen? Is A Wen okay? He was seriously injured in a car accident. Even the ghost messengers came to take his soul away!"
At that time, the ghost messengers had already gone to the hospital to take Du Wenzhong's soul. Although Si Jiangchen was guarding him, he couldn't see ghosts. I didn't know if A Wen was still in danger now.
At this moment, I wished I could fly back to Du Wenzhong's side immediately.
"With my grandma around, no one will be in danger!"
After hearing Lu Tianchang's words, Bai Yu seemed to calm down and even started to comfort me. "My grandma has the medical skills to heal the bones and revive the dead. As long as a person still has a breath, she can save them."
"..."
I knew that the white spirits were good at medicine, but both A Wen and I were fugitives from the underworld who had escaped from the Book of Life and Death. I didn't think Grandma Bai's medical skills could go against fate and cross Du Wenzhong's name out of the Book of Life and Death!
"Wait!"
Seeing that my face was still solemn, Lu Tianchang took out his phone, dialed a number, and handed it to me. "Listen to the situation over there by yourself!"
I took his old - fashioned phone and saw a few words scrolling on the big blue - light screen: Old Zombie.
"Hello..."
Before I could react, a reassuring voice came from the other end of the phone. "Lu Tianchang, has Xiao He arrived?"
So it was really Si Jiangchen?!
The reason Lu Tianchang was able to come out and help me out of the crisis was not because he was good at divination, but because Si Jiangchen had called and asked him to!
"...Hello, I, I'm here."
The sound quality of Lu Tianchang's old - fashioned phone was not good. Si Jiangchen's voice sounded a bit distorted in the hissing noise, but the eagerness in his tone seemed to overflow from the receiver. "You just stay there with Lu Tianchang. I'm already on my way to the airport and will be by your side soon. Tell Lu Tianchang not to do anything... The more he does, the more mistakes he'll make. If he acts rashly, tell him to watch out for his daughter's safety!"
"...Sir, the plane is about to take off. Please turn off your phone as soon as possible."
In Si Jiangchen's words, there was already a female voice reminding.
"Xiao He, wait for me. I'll be there within an hour and a half. Wait for me!"
After Si Jiangchen solemnly instructed me again, he hung up the phone.
"..."
I felt even more panicked.
I wanted to ask about A Wen and Grandma Bai, but Si Jiangchen didn't give me a chance to speak at all.
"Hey? Why... did he hang up?"
Lu Tianchang also found it strange.
"He, he said he'll be here in an hour and a half. He told us not to act rashly," I said as I handed the phone back to Lu Tianchang. "Otherwise, Xixi will be in danger."
"Xixi will be in danger?"
Lu Tianchang frowned in surprise. "Xixi is at Gu Fancheng's house. What kind of danger could she be in? I've calculated that it's clearly you who's in danger!"
