Aunt Wang must have taken out seven or eight thousand yuan.
Now it was divided into two stacks and stuffed into mine and Mo Ting's hands.
"Little Qin! You have been a great help to my family!
This is just a small token of my gratitude, please take it!"
Since Uncle and Aunt Wang were neighbors, they took good care of me after I moved here.
When I helped them, I honestly didn't expect any reward.
Receiving thousands of yuan stuffed into my hands at that moment, I was a bit stunned.
Instinctively, I politely declined a few times.
But I couldn't resist Aunt Wang's earnestness.
In the end, I truly accepted it without further politeness and took the stack of money.
After all, my phone got wet when I saved Wang Qin, so this could be considered compensation.
"Aunt Wang, I won't be polite then."
Seeing that I had accepted it, Mo Ting also took the money from Uncle Wang.
Aunt Wang was all smiles at this moment:
"Why be polite with me? Please take it.
If it weren't for you just now, let alone the child, Dandan,
Qinqin might not have come back.
My abilities are limited, please don't think it's too little."
Nowadays, when I help people with matters and dispel dirty things, I am more interested in acquiring yin virtue and oil for my lamp, rather than money.
After all, what's the use of money when your life is almost gone?
Since Dandan had just returned to his senses, he was particularly susceptible to ghosts at this time.
The surrounding wandering spirits and ghosts couldn't be driven away.
It was as if they could all smell Dandan's scent.
One moment they would knock on the door, the next they would tap on the window.
This had made Aunt Wang's family restless.
Since Mo Ting and I had accepted the money, we naturally had to see the job through.
We didn't leave and began to take turns keeping watch here.
Mo Ting took the first half of the night, and I went to sleep for a while before taking the second half.
With Mo Ting and me present, the dirty things outside quieted down considerably.
It wasn't until eight o'clock the next morning.
After the two of us had breakfast at Aunt Wang's house, we set off together for Wanfu Tang, where I worked.
Today, I didn't take the bus. Instead, I called two cars to give us a ride.
By the time we reached Wanfu Tang, it was eight fifty, exactly my usual working time.
The shop's door was already open.
I led a group of people directly into the shop.
Mo Ting didn't dare to follow, as our masters had a somewhat adversarial relationship.
He was afraid of being seen by his master and not being well-received.
Instead, I went to Wan Shou Tang to report for duty and work.
Master was drinking morning tea, humming a little tune.
"Master!"
I called out and walked over.
Seeing me suddenly bring a group of people in, Master was slightly taken aback.
Then he stood up and put on an air of immortal demeanor:
"Little Qin! Who are these people?"
Uncle Wang, Aunt Wang, and the others, seeing my Master, were all very respectful.
After all, they had witnessed my abilities.
As my master, his cultivation must be even more profound.
"Master, these are my neighbors.
The message I sent you last night was about helping them."
Upon hearing the word "message," my Master glared at me:
"How dare you mention it! Why was your phone off all night?
I called more than ten times.
How did the matter of that little ghost get resolved?"
Master spoke calmly, but with no lack of authority.
I gave a wry smile:
"My phone got wet when I jumped into the water to save someone last night.
I haven't had a chance to get it repaired yet.
The little ghost has been driven away, but it's not completely resolved.
So this morning, I brought Uncle Wang and his family over for you to take a look..."
Master paused and looked at Uncle Wang's family:
"Oh? What kind of little ghost did your family invite, and where did you invite it from?"
Without any preamble, Master got straight to the point.
Upon hearing my Master's words, the Wang family began to quickly recount the matter of the little ghost.
I supplemented some details in between,
as well as the appearance and approximate strength of the little ghost that Mo Ting and I had seen last night.
Finally, the person involved, Lu Yong, said:
"That's roughly all that happened.
Oh, right.
The person who sold the spirit infant said it was a spirit infant from three lives.
He called himself something like Miao, something Zi.
It's been too long, I can't remember..."
Hearing this, both my Master and I felt a jolt.
Standing beside them, I blurted out:
"Miao Nanzi?"
Master's expression also sank.
Lu Yong, hearing me say "Miao Nanzi," nodded vigorously:
"Yes, yes, yes, the referrer said his name was Miao Nanzi.
He said he was traveling to our area.
He sold it to me for thirty thousand yuan at the time.
And told me to offer sacrifices with blood after returning home..."
Hearing this, I gasped in shock.
Good heavens, I never expected this little ghost to be connected to that demonic Daoist Miao Nanzi.
But being able to use straw to cultivate an evil ghost and harm people, it seemed that selling an evil ghost to someone was not out of the question...
Lu Yong knew very little about Miao Nanzi.
According to him, he had never even met Miao Nanzi.
It was introduced by an intermediary, and the little ghost was also given to him by the intermediary.
After listening, Master sneered:
"A 'spirit infant from three lives,' indeed. I think your family has invited an 'evil child from three lives.'
A good life is earned through one's own efforts.
How can a spirit infant grant all wishes, especially one that drinks blood?"
"Yes, yes, yes, the Daoist is right.
But Daoist, now that evil child is trying to kill my wife.
How should we send him away?"
Lu Yong looked at my Master, his expression earnest.
The Wang family also looked at my Master with hope.
My Master waved his hand and said calmly:
"Sending away the little ghost is not a major problem.
My disciple Qin Ze can go there tonight and settle it for you."
Upon hearing this, the others relaxed their brows, showing relief.
But the next moment, Master's gaze fell on the child in Wang Qin's arms:
"Sending away the little ghost is a minor matter, my disciple can handle it.
But what is serious is this child of yours.
If he is not treated soon, and his evil aura is removed,
then within a month, I'm afraid his soul will turn into that kind of little ghost, or be eaten by that ghost child.
At that time, your entire family will have to accompany him to the grave..."
