The night was pitch - black. Nie Yuan staggered out of the bar and got into his private car.
"Let's go."
Nie Yuan was dizzy from drinking and fell asleep before he knew it.
Vaguely, it seemed that the seat under him sank a bit.
Something cold and sticky clung to his neck.
Nie Yuan slowly opened his eyes. What he saw was a mass of hair and minced meat. A horribly mutilated face loomed infinitely large in front of him.
The female ghost grinned, showing her rotten gums.
"Nie Yuan, long time no see."
Nie Yuan felt as if the blood in his body was flowing backward. He let out a sudden scream: "Ghost! A ghost!!"
The driver was startled. He looked at Nie Yuan through the rear - view mirror and saw him waving his hands at the empty air for no reason, babbling like a possessed man.
"How have you been these three years? When you woke up from midnight dreams, did you ever think of the girl you buried in the wall?"
Nie Yuan's eyes widened in horror. "So it's you... Why can you leave the house now??"
The female ghost stared straight at him and smiled. "Of course, I'm here to torture you."
Nie Yuan was constantly assailed by the female ghost's vengeful aura. Although there were no wounds on his body, the pain was real, as if thousands of knives were constantly cutting at him.
Nie Yuan let out a shrill scream. Suddenly, a jolt of fear shot through his heart: So this was the pain Mo Qi had felt back then!
Nie Yuan's face turned deathly pale, almost transparent. He was sweating profusely and roaring desperately. His loud voice attracted the attention of many passers - by.
He said to the driver with difficulty, "Go to the Taoist temple. Find a Taoist priest for me..."
No matter how fierce Mo Qi's ghost was, it must be no match for the suppression of a Taoist priest.
He must kill this female ghost again!!!
However, to Nie Yuan's surprise, even if he offered all his wealth, neither the orthodox Taoist priests nor the wandering immortals were willing to intervene.
Yu Nian had already anticipated this, so she wasn't worried that Mo Qi would be captured again.
Intervening in others' karma was extremely serious. All the wronged and vengeful spirits would rebound on the person who intervened, especially a fierce ghost like Mo Qi who had died so miserably.
No one was willing to take such a great risk.
From that day on, wherever Nie Yuan went, Mo Qi followed.
She didn't directly use her ghostly power to kill Nie Yuan. Instead, she enjoyed playing the cat - and - mouse game.
At night, Mo Qi would walk back and forth in the house. Wherever she walked, there were large patches of bloodstains and hair left behind.
As soon as Nie Yuan closed his eyes, Mo Qi would be standing by his bedside, looking tattered and grinning sinisterly at him.
Nie Yuan was in great pain and couldn't sleep all night.
After a whole month, Nie Yuan was in a daze. His face was as white as paper, and he almost seemed to be on the verge of sudden death at any moment.
Finally, he couldn't bear it anymore. He knelt down at Mo Qi's feet with a thud and kowtowed desperately.
"Please, spare me! I'm really in so much pain!"
Mo Qi looked down at him haughtily and suddenly sneered.
"When I was being killed, I was as desperate as you. I begged for mercy desperately and shouted for help. But what happened? Did you guys spare me?"
Nie Yuan was completely desperate.
Two weeks later, Nie Yuan went crazy.
He ran onto the bustling street bare - chested, covering his head and screaming frantically, laughing and crying at the same time.
"Mo Qi, I really didn't mean to kill you back then. I just made a mistake. It's your fault for not being obedient... It's just your bad luck!"
"Bricking you up in the wall wasn't my idea either!"
"So much blood! Save me. Someone, please save me?!"
More and more people gathered to watch. They found his repeated words extremely strange and took out their phones to record.
The video spread like wildfire on the Internet and sparked a large - scale discussion among netizens.
[Mo Qi? This name sounds so familiar!]
[I remember. She's the girl who disappeared three years ago... Combining with what this man said, it's really creepy!]
[There must be something strange going on. Call the police quickly!]
At first, the police thought Nie Yuan was just a madman. But when they went to Su Yue's house to check, they actually found the girl's bones in the wall.
The scene was so bloody that even the forensic doctor with many years of experience couldn't help frowning.
There was also a piece of torn clothing in the wall crack. There were several bloodstains on the cloth. After extraction and identification, it was confirmed that the blood was Nie Yuan's.
Nie Yuan accidentally cut his hand while participating in the dismemberment and bricking - up process. He casually threw the blood - stained clothes into the wall and buried them together.
Nie Yuan just wanted to be freed at this moment. He confessed everything he had done without reservation.
With conclusive evidence, Nie Yuan was arrested and imprisoned.
This unsolved case that had lasted for three years was finally solved.
Mo Qi's family, who had been searching for her in vain for a long time, retrieved her bones. After cremation, they buried her.
On the day of the funeral, it rained heavily. The cold wind howled, as if trying to wash away all of Mo Qi's grievances and pain over the years.
A young man and a young woman of outstanding temperament shared a black umbrella and quietly stood at the end of the crowd.
Feng Chengyuan stared at Mo Qi's tombstone for a long time. He still felt a sense of oppression in his heart. He turned to Yu Nian and asked, "Hasn't Mo Qi left yet?"
Yu Nian nodded. "She still has one thing on her mind."
When it was Yu Nian and Feng Chengyuan's turn to pay their respects, Yu Nian said calmly, "Don't worry. The murderer who killed you is now being tortured in the Abyss of Hell and will never have the chance to be reborn."
Mo Qi's family stared blankly at Yu Nian, not quite understanding what this young girl was saying.
To their surprise, the heavy rain suddenly stopped the moment the girl finished speaking.
A golden light slowly rose into the air and dissipated with the wind.
Perhaps it was the mother - daughter bond. Mo Qi's mother suddenly threw herself on the tombstone and wailed.
Feng Chengyuan knew that this time, the female ghost's obsession was finally over. All her vengeful aura had dissipated, and she had gone to be reborn.
That night, Yu Nian had a dream. In the dream, there was a sea of white flowers.
At the end of the flower sea stood a young girl in a red halter dress. She was beautiful and lively.
The girl smiled kindly at Yu Nian, bowed deeply, and then disappeared in a beam of light.
........
After receiving the invitation to the metaphysics competition, Yu Nian started a devil - like training for the people in the Qingxin Taoist Temple.
A thick stack of talisman books was placed on the table. Yu Nian said indifferently, "There's still half a month. Start drawing from today."
Ming Mingzhong picked up the pen quietly and began to read the books.
He Zhiping made a bitter face. "Why do I have to draw too?? I'm not from the metaphysics world. Can't I just go with you guys to gain some experience?"
Yu Nian didn't say a word. She held the invitation in front of He Zhiping's eyes. At the end, there was a line of words marked in cinnabar.
"Those who are not from the metaphysics world are not allowed to enter."
Yu Nian said, "If you want to stay alone in the Qingxin Taoist Temple to guard the place, you don't have to draw."
He Zhiping immediately shivered and picked up the basic book obediently, pretending to read it seriously.
Are you kidding?!! The reason the Qingxin Taoist Temple was so powerful was entirely because Yu Nian was guarding it.
If he was left alone in the Taoist temple, and if any demons or ghosts came for revenge, he would be in big trouble.
