Chapter 59: Testing and Probing
This figure was neither a ghost with blood coming out of all seven orifices and wearing bright red clothes, nor was it a ferocious ghost with green face and fangs. Instead, it was a young girl wearing flowered clothes, with a pretty face and a hairpin in her hair. Except for a pair of brand new embroidered shoes that looked particularly weird, she looked pitiful overall.
A pair of embroidered shoes has always been the best source for supernatural and horror stories.
"She jumped into the Wei River wearing the embroidered shoes. She also sewed them herself. The needle and thread were stained with her blood when sewing them, and then the cloth was strung together. After she jumped into the river and died, the embroidered shoes carried her soul that could not enter the underworld. Over time, it became what it is now." Miss Xiaocao said, and explained it in a few words: "This should be the curse technique in the Qing court. It's the same as those concubines who made dolls and cursed people, but she used it on herself. Then I'm very curious, what kind of hatred or grudge made her humiliate herself like this? I think the ambition that can make a woman so hysterical is probably because of the word love, right? Haha, men..."
Wang Jingzhe pouted speechlessly and said, "I beg you, when you say the last sentence, can you please not emphasize the word man so much and look at me when you say it?"
"Why are you feeling guilty? I didn't mention you by name."
Wang Jingzhe's face suddenly turned red again: "..."
He found that he was never in the upper hand over this little girl whenever they talked.
But Wang Jingzhe thought again, was he feeling guilty?
He thought of his engagement. When his father Wang told him about it, although he did not tell Wang Jingzhe that he must marry the eldest daughter of the Li family, he did tell him that this woman would be his destiny and he could not escape it.
But now Wang Jingzhe suddenly realized that he blushed again and again at this inexplicable little girl Xiaocao, but did not have the slightest vague idea about the eldest lady of the Li family.
From an ethical and moral point of view, is Wang Jingzhe's behavior considered a betrayal at this time?
Although Li Lanrong and Mao Qingshui had regretted their engagement before.
After all, an arranged marriage is also an agreement, and not abiding by it is a betrayal. Regardless of whether the Li family abides by the rules or not, he cannot break the rules.
When Wang Jingzhe was having a lot of wild thoughts in his mind, the female ghost with embroidered shoes suddenly let out a sharp scream and pounced towards Wang Jingzhe. As she pounced towards him, she finally showed her side as a fierce ghost.
Ten fingernails suddenly extended from a pair of white and tender little hands. The nails looked like they were painted with expired nail polish, bright red in color and emitting a pungent fishy smell.
Wang Jingzhe tapped the ground with his toes, then floated out sideways and ran towards the grass at an extremely fast speed. As he passed by the grass, he threw down a sentence.
"You caused the trouble on your own initiative, so you should solve it yourself. It has nothing to do with me..."
"Swoosh" Wang Jingzhe passed by the grass in an instant and went away.
Xiaocao girl glared at him angrily, then turned around and dodged the embroidered shoes female ghost that pounced on her. After dodging to the side, she bent down and picked up the soul-guiding lamp that had been placed on the ground. She snapped her fingers at the lamp with her right hand, and the candle flame instantly came out, and then she held it horizontally in front of her body.
"Ah..." Seeing the soul-guiding lamp, the female ghost suddenly stopped, as if she had encountered something that frightened her very much. She covered her face with her hands and backed away repeatedly, her body trembling uncontrollably.
Wang Jingzhe, who was not far away, frowned slightly and sighed in his heart. He and Miss Xiaocao actually had the same idea. They wanted to see if the female ghost could make her reveal some secrets when forcing her to take action, and then see where .
There are three thousand great ways in the world, but no matter what, they all end up returning to one.
The most supreme books of Taoism include Lianshan, Guizang and Zhouyi, which contain countless techniques and are known as the first Chinese classics and the guardian of all classics.
The Qimen recorded in Qimen Dunjia has evolved into countless methods in the later period. Although Wang Jingzhe dare not say that he understands them all, they are all the same. If someone uses the related techniques, he will be able to see something.
Unfortunately, the other party didn't have any chance to attack at all.
Wang Jingzhe and Miss Xiaocao looked at each other immediately, and their eyes revealed two words: "Cunning!"
This time, neither of them was able to figure out the other's identity.
After Xiaocao moved her eyes away from Wang Jingzhe, she said to the female ghost, "My lamp is called the Soul-Guiding Lamp. There is a ray of yang fire on the lamp. This fire will definitely not kill people, but it is very effective for wandering ghosts like you. It is no problem to burn your soul to pieces. When you died, you had a lot of resentment with you, and your soul is still in a pair of embroidered shoes. I guess you haven't dealt with this resentment yet. I'm giving you two choices. Either you go back to these shoes and stay there honestly, or I'll burn you to ashes. It's up to you to choose."
Wang Jingzhe sighed again in his heart. His test was basically in vain. As long as this female ghost was not so stupid that her brain was filled with water, there was no reason to go against her. He could see that the yang fire on the soul-guiding lamp was the biggest nemesis of yin objects. This female ghost's Taoism was not high enough and she would definitely not be able to withstand it.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiaocao finished speaking, the female ghost put down her hands that were covering her face, looked at the candle on the soul-guiding lamp with some fear, and said slowly: "I was born in the early years of the Republic of China. When I was alive, I was from the village by the Wei River..."
What the female ghost said was exactly like the plot in the TV. She had a childhood sweetheart in her lifetime. They grew up together until they were almost twenty years old. However, she never expected that during the chaotic times of war, the man was drafted into the army and died in a foreign land.
Because the woman missed her husband so much, she sewed a pair of embroidered shoes and jumped into the river to commit suicide.
After listening to this, Wang Jingzhe squinted his eyes and said, "Men? What's wrong with men..."
Wang Jingzhe regretted what he said, because he couldn't gain the upper hand.
"All men are bad," Xiaocao said with a sneer.
Wang Jingzhe was suddenly speechless and simply shut up.
Little Grass Girl turned around and asked, "Do you have anything else on your mind?"
"I just want to be buried with my husband, nothing else."
Xiao Cao frowned and said, "You don't even know where he died, how can you bury him together?"
The ghost girl with embroidered shoes lowered her head hesitantly and began to sob. Wang Jingzhe suddenly said, "They must have had physical contact, which means they are husband and wife in terms of etiquette. Find the man's home. If he has any descendants, ask for their names. It would be best if you know their birthdays. It's not difficult to figure out where he is buried, provided his body is still there."
Xiao Cao glanced at him and said, "I don't know how to deduce or speculate..."
Wang Jingzhe was stunned for a moment, he was the first to reveal his true colors!
