Chapter 023: Ghost
When Aunt Wang heard what Li Daming and Uncle Zhong said, her knees softened and she actually knelt down in front of Uncle Zhong, tears streaming down her face: "Master, please save my daughter!"
Uncle Zhong quickly helped him up: "What are you talking about? Now that I'm here, I will definitely help you."
It can be seen that as long as it involves her daughter, Aunt Wang will believe unconditionally. She wiped her tears with a towel and said softly: "Master, I know it is not easy for you to do this ritual. Just tell me how much money you need."
Uncle Zhong shook his head and said slowly, "I don't want your money. Someone will pay for this trip. I only have one idea, to send your daughter away properly. She is too resentful now and is gathering in the school. If we continue to let her torment us like this, it will hurt more people and it is against the will of heaven."
Aunt Wang's lips trembled: "The teachers in that school are all beasts. I don't want to deal with them."
Uncle Zhong shook his head and said, "Big sister, don't you understand? As long as something happens in that middle school, the karma will be borne by your daughter. The more karma she bears, the more difficult it will be for her to turn over and be liberated. This is a vicious cycle of drinking poison to quench thirst. Now we must let her let go of her karma and leave with a clear conscience."
"Then what should I do?" Aunt Wang asked.
Uncle Zhong said, "We will hold a ritual to pray for the soul of the deceased at nine o'clock tonight. I will bring you to the scene in person. If we can successfully summon the soul, I hope you can persuade your daughter to put down her butcher knife and become a Buddha right away."
Aunt Wang said "OK" several times in a row. She completely trusted us.
It was noon, and they refused to let us go no matter what, and insisted on keeping us for dinner. We said don't be so polite, just eat something casually, Auntie Wang went to the kitchen to cook noodles, poached a few eggs, sprinkled sesame oil, and it was so delicious. It was still early after dinner, so we rested at her house. I was so tired after working non-stop for the past two days, I lay on the sofa and fell asleep in a daze. It seemed that Uncle Zhong went out halfway, and I was really sleepy, so I fell asleep again.
When I got up, it was already past five o'clock. Although it was still early, I could feel the heavy dusk.
Li Daming and Uncle Zhong were talking about something. When they saw that I woke up, they told me that Director Jin had just called and said that everything was ready and asked us to go over quickly.
I washed my face and barely woke up, and everyone went out.
Several of us drove to the school, passed the gate and arrived at the principal's office. Principal Cao and Director Jin were there. Director Jin brought a convenient bag to Uncle Zhong and said that the photo of the female teacher who insulted Chen Lun and some of her signed documents were all there.
Uncle Zhong took out the photo and was about to take a closer look when Aunt Wang suddenly went crazy and came over to tear up the photo. I quickly hugged her. Aunt Wang almost burst into tears: "It's her, it's her! She is the one who killed my daughter! This beast."
No one at the scene expected such a thing to happen. Principal Cao and Director Jin were both shocked, especially Principal Cao, who looked very bad and barely managed to avoid falling to the ground by holding on to the table.
Uncle Zhong quickly put the photo back and said softly, "Big sister, you must stay calm. A little impatience can ruin a big plan. Today's mission is to save your daughter's soul, which is the most important thing. You have to be patient with the rest for now."
Aunt Wang was just impulsive and cried with her hands covering her face.
Director Jin was still a little scared and said, "I told you, this woman is mentally ill."
Li Daming and I looked at him together, and Director Jin avoided his gaze. Uncle Zhong said coldly, "The law of nature is reciprocal, and retribution is inevitable. No one can escape."
The atmosphere at the scene was a bit awkward, so Principal Cao arranged for us to go to the conference room to rest first and hold the ritual in the evening.
The time was really hard to bear. In addition to the ritual, I was also thinking about Wang Yue. This level was not easy. Water was constantly pouring into the level. Even if she didn't drown for a while, it was still uncomfortable enough.
Finally it was nine o'clock, and it was completely dark. We left the main teaching building and went to the back. In addition to Principal Cao and Director Jin, there were also a few of the principal's trusted teachers, all of whom were grown men, probably coming here to give themselves courage.
The night wind was cold and everything was quiet. The school was not as noisy as it was during the day. It was so quiet that made people feel uncomfortable.
Everyone came to the backyard, and Director Jin opened the iron gate. As soon as we stepped into the backyard door, the cold wind blew over us, and the hairs on our bodies stood up. The entire old building was dark, without a single ray of light. We all prepared flashlights, and several flashes of light shone on the floor, and we could see that every window was pitch black, unfathomable.
"What, what should we do?" Director Jin's teeth were chattering.
Uncle Zhong said, "Find the class where Chen Lun was humiliated. Her wronged soul must be wandering there. I will set up an altar there and perform rituals to summon her wronged soul. It would be best if I can save her soul, but if I can't, I will try my best to appease her resentment."
"Then shall we wait here?" said Principal Cao.
"It's better to go together." Uncle Zhong smiled: "The headmaster has yang energy and authority, which is enough to scare away demons and monsters."
Aunt Wang didn't want to listen anymore: "Master, my daughter is not a ghost."
Director Jin muttered, "If she wasn't, there wouldn't be anyone. These days, all we need is a Sun Wukong. If we had a Sun Wukong, he would have Why bother with all this effort?"
"I'll tear your mouth apart!" Aunt Wang rushed over and tried to fight. Director Jin quickly hid behind someone else.
Principal Cao was really a bit of an authority. He shouted, "What are you doing? Solve the problem quickly. Everyone has to go up tonight. I'm determined to solve it once and for all. If you keep dragging it out like this, I'll quit being the principal!"
Uncle Zhong was the first to enter the teaching building. Li Daming and I were on the left and right, and Aunt Wang followed behind. The others looked at each other and followed with gritted teeth.
When I entered the building, the temperature dropped suddenly. It was quiet inside, and there was a dead silence all around. Occasionally, there were birds singing outside, which made my scalp tingle. A gust of wind blew from somewhere, and I could only hear the rustling of talisman papers all over the floor, and the coldness was bone-chilling.
Everyone huddled together, trembling as they followed Uncle Zhong forward. Li Daming was really something, not only was he not afraid, but his eyes were filled with excitement, and he followed Uncle Zhong closely, as if he was secretly imitating and learning Uncle Zhong's aura.
Uncle Zhong had a gloomy face and didn't say a word to anyone as he walked up the stairs. When he reached the third floor, he stopped and looked back at Principal Cao.
Principal Cao was protected by several burly teachers, and he was panting heavily as he walked. It was unclear whether he was tired or scared. When he saw Uncle Zhong looking at him, he hurried over.
Uncle Zhong asked if the classroom where Chen Lun was humiliated was on this floor.
Principal Cao's throat moved, and he gave a thumbs up and said, "Master, you are amazing."
Uncle Zhong shook his head: "It's not me, God, can't you feel it? Such a strong resentment is lingering on this floor, it's so obvious."
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. An atmosphere of terror spread throughout everyone's heart like an infectious disease. Many people began to tremble as if they had the hiccups.
Uncle Zhong took out an eight-diagram mirror from his bag, handed it to Li Daming, and told him to hold the mirror to his chest with the mirror side facing outwards, and asked him to lead the way.
Most people would have peed themselves long ago, but Li Daming was really brave. He followed Uncle Zhong's instructions, put the mirror on his chest, and walked in front. Uncle Zhong followed behind with his hands behind his back, and I followed closely. The others gathered together, lined up in a long line, and followed behind tremblingly.
After turning the stairs, I walked into the corridor. On both sides were dilapidated classrooms, and the doors were gone. With the flashlight, I could see the abandoned classrooms. The ground was in a mess, and there was a long blackened area on the back wall. It was a simple blackboard from many years ago.
The smell in the corridor was not too bad because there were no windows and the wind blew in from time to time, which could drive away the foul air. Everyone was walking slowly when Uncle Zhong suddenly stopped and asked everyone to wait.
Everyone was silent, not even the sound of footsteps could be heard. Uncle Zhong turned on his flashlight and shone it forward. In front of him was a classroom, and at the door, a pair of worn-out red shoes were neatly placed.
The light spot was falling on the red shoes. Although they were covered with dust, they still looked eye-catching red.
No one moved. They looked at each other in horror and confusion, wondering how such a pair of shoes could have appeared here.
A chill ran down my neck and my whole body shivered. Uncle Zhong said, "We found it. This should be the place where Chen Lun was humiliated."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a loud "bang" in the classroom, as if something fell to the ground and the ground seemed to shake .
Everyone was so scared that they dared not speak, except Aunt Wang who cried out "Wow" and was about to go over while shouting her daughter's name. I was responsible for watching her and holding her tightly to prevent her from going.
Uncle Zhong sighed, "The resentment is too strong. It's really troublesome."
Principal Cao felt dizzy and asked the PE teacher to help him walk over. He said softly, "Master, the Taoist priests we invited before are all performing rituals in the lobby on the first floor. We don't need to go into the classroom, right?"
Uncle Zhong sneered, "Even if those Taoists have some magic, they are just low-level ones. They know that there is too much resentment here, so they dare not confront the wronged souls face to face. What they do down there is just for show. This time I am here to solve the problem once and for all and to liberate the wronged souls."
He told everyone to stand behind Li Daming. Because of the Bagua mirror, the wronged souls would not dare to come over and take a step beyond.
