When he heard the Daoist’s words, the scholar immediately looked conflicted. He could not help but ask himself if he was greedy for their bodies or if he liked them in person. After a full ten minutes, he finally raised his head and looked at Shen Ping. “Daoist priest, please help me reincarnate them. I hope we will be fated in our next life.”
Shen Ping smiled. This scholar was still considered a loyal person, so he said, “Let them appear tonight and listen to their thoughts.”
The scholar patted his head. “That’s right, that’s right. We have to get Ling’er and the others to agree.”
At night, as the bamboo flute sounded, two graceful figures walked down from the portrait on the stone wall.
“Darling.”
They had just walked to the scholar’s side when they saw his worried expression and hurriedly asked. The scholar sighed. “Ling’er, Yu’er, it’s difficult for us to be together like this for long. You should reincarnate.”
Ling’er exclaimed, “Why did you say such a thing today?”
Yu’er, who was beside him, said, “Hmph, did that damn Daoist priest speak too much? I’ll chase him away now.”
The scholar quickly stopped him. “Don’t. That Daoist priest is just being kind.”
He told them about the losses he had suffered in the past few days. Ling’er and Yu’er remained silent. At this moment, Shen Ping slowly walked out and waved his sleeve. His Perfected Lord aura locked onto the two Yin Ghosts. “You two ghosts are really bold. You actually lived on the stone wall painting and harmed people’s lives. If you don’t repent, your souls will definitely be destroyed.”
The two female ghosts were terrified. This aura was simply too terrifying. They hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy. The scholar was also anxious and kept begging the Daoist priest not to harm their lives.
“Let me ask you, are you willing to reincarnate and become a new person?”
Among them, Ling’er, who was wearing a white embroidered dress, hesitated and said, “Daoist priest, we really had no choice but to stay on the stone wall for the time being.”
She then briefly described her encounter. It turned out that she and Yu’er, who was dressed in green, were close friends. When they were traveling on a boat in Yunjiang, they encountered a thunderstorm and it was delayed until night. Then, they came to the cliff cave to rest for the night. Unexpectedly, they encountered mountain bandits and died when they jumped off a cliff from the pursuit.
Therefore, they stayed at the cliff cave as ghosts. Originally, after the nearby City God’s ghost constable found them, he was about to extradite them to reincarnate in the Netherworld. However, they encountered a ghost general who plundered them halfway. Before the ghost constable died, he sent them back to the Yang Realm. From then on, they lived on the woman’s painting and struggled at death’s door. It was only when they met the scholar that they gradually developed feelings for each other.
“That Ghost General has remembered our aura. If we enter the Netherworld again, we will probably be robbed.” Ling’er cried.
Shen Ping glanced at the two female ghosts and thought to himself that they were indeed quite unlucky. However, all of this was caused by their charming appearance. It was very likely that there would be a calamity. When the scholar at the side heard this, he knelt down and begged, “Daoist priest, please help.” “Do you know which force the ghost general who robbed you belongs to?” Shen Ping asked casually.
The green-robed Yu’er thought for a moment and said, “I think I heard from the ghost constable that it’s a ghost general from Mount Futu. When he saw the ghost general, his expression changed drastically. He seemed to be very afraid of the force behind the ghost general.”
“Mount Futu?”
Shen Ping’s expression changed when he heard that. He happened to be looking for Mount Futu, but he did not expect to encounter a clue here. He closed his eyes and pinched his fingers. Indeed, he had deduced a trace of karma. This deduction seemed mysterious, but in fact, as long as one reached the Perfected Lord realm, they would have a vague sense of the vitality of the world. Just now, he saw a trace of connection between the two women and him.
“Karma… could this be Karma vitality?”
Suddenly, he opened his eyes and stared at the two women with bright eyes. Although he could not deduce the identities of the two female ghosts in his previous life with his current strength, from the karma, the two of them must be related to Xi Lengyan.
That was why they met him in this cliff cave in this life. Of course, if he did not care about this matter, this strand of karma would be severed and they might not interact again in the future.
“Daoist…”
Ling’er could not help but say. Shen Ping came back to his senses and said calmly, “Since I’ve encountered this matter, I naturally won’t stand by and do nothing. I’ll make a trip to the Netherworld for you!”
“Thank you, Daoist Priest. Thank you, Daoist Priest!”
The two women hurriedly bowed their heads in thanks. Then, they spent some time with the scholar and said some farewells before leaving reluctantly.
“Benefactor Chen, this is a wisp of aura I intercepted from the two women and made a blessing curse. If they appear around you after they reincarnate, this blessing curse will react.”
The scholar was overjoyed when he heard that. Shen Ping continued, “However, after reincarnation, they are only babies. If you have the heart, you can only wait for them to grow up before continuing your previous relationship.”
The scholar nodded repeatedly. “I’m willing to wait for them, even if it means three lifetimes.”
“Three lifetimes… Hehe, if you really have such perseverance, I believe you will definitely be fated. Alright, when this matter is over, you should leave the mountain as soon as possible.”
With that, he flicked his sleeve and slashed his finger in front of his eyes. A crack seemed to have been torn in space. Then, he grabbed Ling’er and Yu’er and entered the Netherworld.
Swoosh.
The surroundings suddenly became extremely dark. The concentration of Yin qi in the air was so thick that it was difficult to breathe. It surged into Shen Ping’s body from all directions. Almost without cultivation, his Dao bone began to absorb the Yin and Yang qi on its own..
