A Dream of Transmigration

Chapter 57

Chu Ying nodded.

Madam Zhan, however, worried, "What will happen to Yu'er in the future? I'm afraid..."

"I have nothing with me, so why don't you have them draw Taoist talismans and put them on?" The mad monk suddenly grinned and pointed at Lingyi and Chuying. "With Taoist talismans on, it won't be easy for a ghost to possess them."

Madam Zhan immediately looked at the two of them.

Chu Ying glanced at Ling Yi, who remained silent beside her, smiled slightly, and nodded.

The mad monk thought for a moment, then suddenly asked Lin Feifei, "What day is this?"

The crowd was puzzled.

Lin Feifei's brain, which had been malfunctioning for a long time, finally started working again. She realized what was happening and exclaimed, "It's been exactly seven days since he fell into the river and had an accident!"

“It seems it will still be seven days,” the mad monk shook his head. “I didn’t expect that.”

"Then we just need to keep watch on him for seven days."

Chu Ying shook her head. The mad monk looked at her with a grin. Wu Niang and Madam Zhan couldn't help but chuckle. Even the usually aloof Ling Yi spoke up: "So you're not going to stay here?"

Oh dear, I get so excited I lose my mind!

Lin Feifei glared at him dejectedly, then changed the subject: "So what do we do?"

No one answered.

.

It's already March, the weather is getting warmer, and the willows in the garden are lush and green.

"What should we do?"

Lin Feifei lay on the table, no longer worried that Chu Ying would tell her senior brother.

Perhaps because of Chu Ying's talisman, Zhan Qiuyu was indeed safe and sound this month. Madam Zhan was delighted and treated him even more attentively. The four of them had no choice but to stay with Zhan Qiuyu every day, which even he himself found extremely boring. However, since waking up that day, he had completely forgotten what had happened.

“It must be hiding in this garden,” Lin Feifei said, looking around. “We were almost at the pond when there was something there… Could it be in the pond?”

Zhan Qiuyu immediately nodded in agreement.

The mad monk shook his head: "Young Taoist priest, this house has excellent feng shui. Where yang energy gathers, ghosts and monsters are most afraid and will avoid it. How could they dare to hide inside?"

Lin Feifei glanced at Ling Yi and saw that he remained indifferent, which made her even more disheartened.

Chu Ying suddenly asked, "What is Young Master Zhan's ranking?"

"Sixth," Lin Feifei answered on his behalf, "What?"

He remained silent.

The mad monk's eyes lit up, and he muttered, "Why are the three behind walking in front instead of the other way around?"

"The last three?" Lin Feifei was taken aback, but immediately understood and said excitedly, "That's right, how come the younger ones died first? Logically speaking, he should have been in the first place."

"I finally understand." (Lazy)

Lin Feifei immediately glared at her.

Zhan Qiuyu was also stunned for a moment, but shook his head and said, "This matter was just a coincidence. It wasn't the eldest brother who left first, but the second brother."

Lin Feifei became smug and gave Chu Ying a look that said, "I didn't expect that." She continued, "Yes, the first one to die was Madam Zhan's son. There's no pattern to it at all."

"Madam Zhan's son?" the mad monk exclaimed in surprise.

Chu Ying raised her long eyebrows: "When did Young Master Zhan's nephews leave?"

"He is the descendant of several brothers."

The mad monk nodded: "That's strange. The brothers left first, and even the nephew left first. Why is it that only Young Master Zhan is left behind?"

Lin Feifei was stunned.

“That’s right, my nephew should be ranked after him… But so what? Jinling still fell into the water, and it seems that ghost won’t let him off the hook.”

.

Half a day.

Lin Feifei paced back and forth in the pavilion, racking her brains until her head was about to explode.

After circling around a few times, inspiration finally caught up with her. Her eyes lit up, and she slammed her hand on the table: "I told you you guys were stupid! It's been a month, and all you've done is search randomly. Why don't you come up with a way to lure the snake out of its hole?"

Before anyone could speak, she sat down, beaming with pride.

"Since it's possessed, it must have a way to escape. Why don't we ask Brother Zhan to take off that protective talisman, and then we can hide to the side, wait for it to possess us, and then come out to drive it away and see where it runs!"

Upon hearing this, Zhan Qiuyu praised, "Excellent plan! This way we can find its hiding place. Brother Lin is indeed resourceful!"

"It's alright, hahaha, actually it's not that hard to come up with this idea," Lin Feifei said, even more pleased with herself after hearing the praise, and looked up at the other three. "What do you think?"

No one answered.

Chu Ying focused on pouring tea, the mad monk chuckled without saying a word, and Ling Yi remained quiet and still.

"Isn't this a brilliant plan? Haha," she boasted. "But humility is a virtue, so you don't need to admire me too much. Tomorrow night is exactly seven days away, so let's make our move. How about it?"

"Not very good." Still feeling lazy.
