Plotting 4

ed naked and jumped into the bathtub.The rich people's bathtub not only large but also has massage, spray, wave and other functions, she even turned on the music, where like scared of ghosts.I stood t...I followed the little girl into the kitchen and rummaged around. She only found a small box of white rice that had been there for ages, placed it on the sink.

As I searched, I asked, "Where are the mistress's family"

"Huh I'm not really sure about the situation... I just heard her mention it before, something about her parents dying in a car accident. Apparently, many relatives coveted her assets, so they stopped visiting her a long time ago." The third mistress explained.

I glanced at her, she pursed her lips and put on an air of dignity, but couldn't hide the vulgar greed in her eyes.

"Who told you dressing like a ghost would keep you safe" I frowned in disgust.

She instinctively took two steps back and smiled, "I found it online too..."

"Do you believe all those bragging words online"

"Well...that's not because I don't know any professionals like you! To be honest, Master, if we usually want to ask a mage for help, we have no idea where to start! So I asked Qi Ge to find a mage to take a look..."

Most of us in this circle are acquaintances introduced through other acquaintances. That is, we know each other because we were introduced by friends or mutual friends, or perhaps some people came here because they've heard of us and want to meet us.

It's rare to see someone waving a bamboo pole with a banner reading "Iron Mouth Breaks the World, Looking at Faces Knowing Fortune and Misfortune" to make a fool of themselves.

Nowadays, many people online "diagnose" themselves. Even those who are healthy often feel they have a serious illness. Feng Shui, yin and yang are similar. This enigmatic concept, which combines scientific philosophy and human psychology, must be practically applied and tailored to specific locations. What can you really learn from just looking at information online

I retracted my gaze, lowered my head and took out a package of noodles from the fridge. I snapped a few strands slowly and broke them into the bowl.

"What are you doing" Little Three asked curiously.

"...This noodle is made of buckwheat, which is also one of the five grains. Take as much as you want." I didn't want to see her ghostly face, so I just replied curtly without looking up.

"Oh oh! You're so clever. Is there anything else I can do for you Have a look at the offering table in the living room, is everything alright" she said rather hastily.

I glanced back at the clock on the wall. The hour and minute hands were both pointing at 11, only the second hand was rapidly approaching zero from 45 seconds.

Little Three was so nervous she could barely breathe. I quietly prepared the hand gestures for the Ghost Binding Seal, ready to chant if anything unexpected happened.

Tap tap tap… Tap!

It's time for the Child Hour.

11:00 PM.

Little Three was practically holding her breath, waiting for 11 PM to arrive.

I waited a while, watching the second hand tick forward steadily. Nothing happened in the room, and I didn't feel any unusual aura.

Little Third Miss let out a breath and said, "Was I too nervous ... After all, this is feudal superstition... haha, haha..."

I patted the noodle pulp on my hand and said nonchalantly, “Yeah, haven’t you heard the saying ‘Suspicion breeds demons’ If you haven't done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. What are you afraid of”

Her face stiffened for a moment. If I weren't a mage, she'd probably start arguing with me.

“I... I need to use the restroom.” She awkwardly forced out a strained smile.

I brought the bowl of white rice and water noodles to the door because on the seventh night after death, the doors cannot be closed, so the security door and inner door were open one in front of the other.

As I bent down to put the bowl away, the charging lights on either side of the door flickered suddenly.

A sudden chill ran down my spine. I whirled around, and a crimson blur flashed past me.

Blood red.

It wasn't the usual bright red, but a darker crimson, congealed after being stained with blood.

Have you come

A chill ran down my spine, and I instantly invoked the Jia Gui Jue. Before I could even finish the incantation, a deep, guttural voice echoed from outside the door: "Little Madam, show mercy!"

I was startled. Who called me!

I turned my head to look outside the door, and two faces, one large and one small, emerged from the heavy darkness. They were two ghost messengers, their faces a shade of dark blue-black.

The ghost messenger who was speaking was taller than average, and beside him stood a young ghost messenger who looked like a child.

The Great Ghost Officer smiled and said, "My Lady, please show mercy. This woman cried out for justice before our City God. According to the laws of the underworld, the City God allowed her to return as a spirit on the seventh day to end her longing. My two companions and I are responsible for escorting her. We didn't know you were here, so we apologize for any offense."

My eyelids twitched slightly. This City God is incredible; he's the only one in the world, a Fu Ling Ming Wang. He's been worshipped by humans at the Taimiao Temple for hundreds of years, a deity from the underworld. He's a typical deity who received his title through human faith, and even in the underworld, he's the only "Old King."

"Since you two escorted her here, surely you wouldn't let anything happen to her, would you" I asked.

The great ghost official laughed heartily: "Of course, if she's a menace, we'll immediately arrest her and severely punish her. After writing down all her crimes, we'll send her to the Hell of Evil Ghosts."

I glanced back inside the house. The little third girl came out of the bathroom and went straight to the study.

I retreated back to the living room and whispered, "Since both of you are watching, I'll relax for a bit."

"Hmph, Little Empress, don't worry. Leave it to us. Just sit and rest, you mustn't get a miscarriage."

I...

This... what the heck... how did rumors get to this point!

I was so mad my teeth ached, I grabbed a chocolate bar from the coffee table and snapped it in half, imagining it was that little gossipmonger's snack!

Taking a deep breath, my gaze fell on the altar built in the corner. A black and white photo of the woman's life was laid there quietly. The candles on the altar were battery-operated, and there were many plates of food placed in front of them.

It's both meat and vegetarian, but at a glance you can tell it's takeout.

I took a look at those dishes. There was steamed mandarin fish, sweet and sour pork, scallion pancakes… They looked quite good. Surprisingly, there were also cold dishes. Was that bowl filled with braised beef

Sauce... Beef!

I was taken aback, my anger rising. Some people are so foolish and self-important! They don't bother to understand things and just jump online for a superficial look. They find bits of information and treat it as gospel truth, ignoring the details completely!

Offerings are indeed best when they combine meat and vegetarian dishes, being plentiful is ideal. However, there are also taboos to be aware of!

Beef and horse meat are taboos!

Are you kidding me! Don't you know that the Yinshi have Niu Tou Ma Mian

I immediately turned around to call that little third-girl over to take this dish away — after all, it was hers that she had put out.

The moment I turned around, I saw the blood-clothed woman's back disappear into the study door. She went in!

Meanwhile, the sound of shattering objects and heated argument erupted from the study.

“That’s enough! Don't think I don't know what you've done!”t I don't understand what this means. The Land God said that he saw two "lanterns".It resembles a small lantern, but what special meaning it holds, I can't quite figure out.If not for my brother askin...
