A Dream of Transmigration

Chapter 9

The entire room suddenly felt like an ice cellar. Lin Feifei immediately felt a chill run through her body, and the candlelight on the table dimmed considerably, making everything appear somewhat blurry.

But there was still nothing around. What was going on? Lin Feifei was wondering when she saw Master Zixu turn around. She immediately closed her eyes and pretended to be meditating.

Master Zixu looked at Lin Feifei and slowly recited: "Calm your mind, focus your spirit, settle your mind... A calm mind is clear, a clear mind is insightful, and insightful mind is spiritual..."

His unhurried tone seemed to possess a captivating magic. Before long, Lin Feifei's restless heart gradually calmed down, and she unconsciously followed his prompts to focus her mind and begin to meditate.

Suddenly, a faint sigh reached my ears.

Gradually, one could hear footsteps moving.

Lin Feifei was startled. She realized that even though her eyes were closed, she could feel several shadows moving in front of her, and cold air would blow from behind her, making her neck feel cold.

She quickly opened her eyes.

My God, this can't be a hallucination, right?!

Before me stood a living, breathing Sadako—a deathly pale face, devoid of any life, with empty eyes and long hair cascading down her chest, appearing even more terrifying against the backdrop of her white clothes.

Seeing Lin Feifei looking at her in surprise, the female ghost couldn't help but grin and let out a "hehe" laugh.

"ah--!!!!!"

After a long, high-pitched scream that shook the entire Yuanfu Palace, the surroundings returned to silence.

.

"Uncle-Master, why do you look so pale?"

Lin Feifei weakly raised her head: "Yujing."

It turns out that everyone here, regardless of gender, addresses each other as "Shishu" (a term of respect for one's senior uncle). Lin Feifei was used to it. Besides, Yu Jing was sweet-looking and lively, and apart from being a little cunning and gossipy, she was quite nice.

Yu Jing looked around mysteriously, then leaned close to Lin Feifei's ear and asked, "Does Martial Aunt know about what happened last night?"

"Of course I know, something terrible has happened." Lin Feifei picked at the food in her bowl with annoyance, finding she had no appetite at all. Last night, she had almost been scared out of her wits, thankfully she was still alive.

That female ghost was truly unforgettable; even while unconscious, her entire dream was filled with images of being chased by her. The moment she woke up in the morning, she found Miaomiao and declared that he had to stay by her side and not leave her side for even a moment. Now, her only regret was that no one was there to watch her when she went to the toilet.

She dared not say again that the people here were scoundrels.

Yu Jing was somewhat deflated. She had originally wanted to show off to Lin Feifei, who had only recently arrived, but now she had nothing to say and could only force a smile: "I suppose Martial Aunt already knows about what happened behind the mountain."

"What happened behind the mountain?" Lin Feifei was stunned.

"Uncle-Master doesn't know?" Yu Jing became excited when she saw an opportunity to show off. "The female ghost in the pine forest behind the mountain who was trapped by the Xuan Tian Bagua Formation."

"The Xuan Tian Bagua Formation?"

Lin Feifei thought for a moment, and immediately the hairs on her body stood on end again—the white shadow she had seen for the second time the day before yesterday when she and Miaomiao went to the site to "sensitize" and experience it...

Thinking of this, she immediately grabbed Yu Jing nervously: "Did she run away?"

Seeing her agitation, Yu Jing quickly smiled apologetically: "The Xuan Tian Bagua Formation is not easy to break, but today everyone in the palace is saying..."

It's good that he didn't come out!

Lin Feifei interrupted her curiously, "Why is the female ghost trapped there?"

Yu Jing shook her head: "We don't know. We heard that when our master saw her pitiful state, he said that the pine forest was full of the righteous energy of heaven and earth, and hoped that it would dispel the resentment in her heart and help her be reincarnated as soon as possible. It's been more than 20 years."

Lin Feifei asked, puzzled, "So what happened to her now?"

Yu Jing looked around and whispered, "It's being said in the palace that the female ghost is too resentful and difficult to reform. Our eldest uncle has already gone to persuade our grandmaster to send her back to the underworld."

Lin Feifei only half understood what she was hearing.

She didn't know that ordinary wronged souls, if their resentment isn't eliminated, have difficulty being reincarnated. They either wander the human world to avoid being captured by the underworld, or they are captured and sent back to the underworld to suffer all kinds of torment in hell. Master Zixu's decision to imprison her there was truly a kind act.

"Isn't it supposed to be fine for twenty years? How do you know she can't be reformed?"

“It was last night,” Yu Jing said, seemingly still shaken. “Several academies heard her screams last night. Tsk tsk, it was really awful…”

Black line!

Lin Feifei froze for a moment, then forced a smile through gritted teeth: "Heh, is that so..."

He glanced at Miaomiao next to him; she was secretly tugging at her shoulder. When she saw Lin Feifei glaring at her, she quickly buried her head in her bowl and started eating rice.

Just then, a swaying figure walked by.

.

The white robe was as white as snow, and the person seemed detached from worldly affairs.

Looking at that cold and aloof face, Yu Jing couldn't help but snort, her eyes full of disdain: "Who are you trying to impress with that haughty attitude all day long!"

Lin Feifei didn't have much affection for Miao Qing either, but she wasn't one to gossip. She simply asked curiously, "Why don't I see her eating out much usually?"

“She has someone to serve her, her surname is Cheng, and she is the daughter of Prefect Cheng,” Yu Jing pouted. “It’s different when your family is rich. My eighteenth uncle actually took a liking to her, humph.”

Lin Feifei chuckled inwardly.

A beautiful woman who is both rich and of high status, no wonder women are jealous of her and men love her.

Yu Jing seemed to remember something, her eyes lit up, and her face showed joy. She quietly leaned close to her ear and said, "I heard that in a few months, Eighteenth Uncle will be back."

Is it that eighteenth senior brother named Yi again? He can summon souls too?
