C93 (1/2)

”Sometimes, the person who wholeheartedly wants to take your life might not necessarily have a deep grudge against you, but there must be a reason why you can't live on. For this reason, you have to find it yourself.”

The old man seemed to be able to read my thoughts and hurriedly said. I looked at the old man in surprise. I wanted to see something from his eyes, but I couldn't see anything. I could only smile awkwardly.

”The reason why I brought him to find you this time is actually to ask you to help me investigate this evil ghost's background. To tell you the truth, the reason we came here is to settle this problem for him, but Zhang Yu's dream recently was very bad. I suspect that this isn't a good sign, which is why I hope to know more about this evil ghost.”

After Bai Hua heard the old man's words, her eyebrows slightly knitted, although she said anxiously.

After the old man heard Bai Hua's words, he hesitated for a moment before speaking, ”Since we have a relationship with Qiu Baihe, I'll help you guys this time, but the opportunity is still in your hands. I am only responsible for tying the strings, if we are unable to find the answer in the end, then it can only be my own problem.”

I nodded. Naturally, I could tell that this old man didn't want to get into any trouble, so he strongly rejected me.

Even though I only found out what Bai Hua wanted to take me for, I did want to know what kind of conflict I had with that evil ghost. Why did she insist on holding onto me, so she came to ask for your help.

Since he didn't want to get into trouble, I might as well tell him I didn't want to bother him. I just wanted to find out what I wanted to know.

After the old man heard my words, he pondered for a moment before asking, ”Lad, are you afraid of death?”

It is difficult to say that I am not afraid of death. After all, all humans have the instinct to survive and no one is unafraid of death when facing ordinary people. The reason why I came here to find him is to allow me to defeat that evil ghost and live longer.

But I knew that his question must have had something to do with finding out what had happened to the evil spirit, so even now, with my heart in my throat, I nodded.

The old man sighed and took out two items from his bag: a red thread and a letter. He tied the red thread around my left wrist and handed it to me.

Bai Hua can cultivate the Taoism Arts so she can leave, but you can't, so I have to tie a red thread around your wrist. This red thread is tied to your soul, so a normal person's soul cannot leave their body for more than twelve hours.

At that time, I didn't even believe that there were ghosts in this world, so how could I believe that there was a place that ghosts could stay. But now, after experiencing so many things, I couldn't help but believe that there was still Bai Hua to accompany me.

But I couldn't help but ask, ”What if I don't come back?”

The old man looked at me and lit three joss sticks beside me. He said word by word, ”If you don't come back, you'll never come back!”

After saying that, he took out a pile of paper money from his bag and stuffed it into my pocket. ”Young man, there are some areas in the underworld and the underworld that are similar. You have to be more flexible when encountering Yin and not fight to the death. You have to learn how to be flexible, otherwise, I won't be able to save you!”
