Time seemed to stand still, and the neighbors looked like they had their acupuncture points pressed. Their eyes were dull and they stood there motionless, but the flame under the frying pan was still burning, the water in the faucet was still flowing, and the bamboo sticks hitting their buttocks formed flesh-shaped ripples.

Taoist Wu had a serious face, his hands flying around, constantly making hand gestures and pointing at Wen Jing.

A layer of black mist visible to the naked eye spread from Wen Jing's body, and a human figure slowly condensed.

The scarlet in the figure's eyes faded, the blue skin slowly faded to pale, and the nails, teeth and hair also shrank back.

Taoist Wu looked at Lin Zhen who had returned to normal, and he finally felt relieved.

Then he patted his chest and jumped up and down, "Thank God, this almost caused a disaster."

After he had breathed his last, he carried the dazed Wen Jing into the house and closed the door.

"Snapped!"

With a snap of fingers, the neighbors seemed to have turned on the start button again, just like at the beginning, those who needed to do laundry did laundry, those who needed to cook cooked, and those who needed to beat their children beat their children.

"Ouch! My pancake is burnt! How can I eat it?!"

"Oh! Mom! Stop hitting me, stop hitting me. I was wrong! I will never go to the deep well to play again! Wuuuu...wuuu..."

I didn't notice anything unusual about the Wang family.

Wen Jing's eyes brightened, and she looked blankly at Taoist Wu who was tearing the talisman in front of the iron gate.

She didn't pay attention to the person in front of her, but her first reaction was to look for someone.

"Lin Zhen?"

There was no response in my mind.

Wen Jing felt as if her heart had stopped, there was a buzzing sound in her ears, and tears as big as beans flowed out of her eyes madly.

'Lin Zhen...'

[I'm here...I'm here] Lin Zhen's voice was very weak.

Wen Jing felt as if she had heard heavenly music; her heart began to beat rapidly and her limbs became warm and numb.

It feels like coming alive.

She burst into tears, "Wow...you scared me to death, I thought you were gone...wuow...wuow..."

[It's my fault this time. I shouldn't have seen the mirror and thought it was her. It's my fault for making you worry.]

Wen Jing raised her hand to wipe away her tears, and only then did she realize that the middle finger of her left hand was in great pain. She covered her hand and hunched her back, the pain making cold sweats break out on her spine.

Taoist Priest Wu had also finished tearing up the talisman by this time. He put the Resentment-Transforming Mirror in his pocket, raised his hands and bowed, looking apologetic. "I didn't expect that you two actually possessed the Yin-Yang Mutual Creation Chain. I apologize for any offense."

"Forgive me!" Wen Jing was in so much pain that she couldn't stop crying. She cursed at him after hearing this, not caring at all that he was an elder. "You broke my fingers, and you just said a few words to ask me to forgive you? Where's your face?!"

Only then did Taoist Wu notice that she was sweating profusely, and he hurried forward to check her injuries.

He saw that the end of Wen Jing's middle finger on her left hand was bent abnormally upwards. Taoist Wu took a closer look and breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's not broken, it's just dislocated." Just as he finished speaking, there was a dull "click!" sound, and Taoist Wu reached out and bent the finger down hard, twisting it a bit.

"Ow!!!!"

A scream was heard in the family compound, causing the neighbors to look towards the Wang family.

"Oh my, is that old axe woman beating people again?"

"It doesn't sound like Director Wang's voice to me, it sounds more like that of the tigress."

"Tsk tsk tsk, she deserves to be beaten. That tigress needs to be punished. She only knows how to bully her man every day."

Wen Jing was struggling and twisting her hands on the ground in pain. When the pain passed, her fingers didn't hurt so much anymore.

It was clearly winter, but she looked like she had just been pulled out of the water.

Wen Jing was in so much pain that she didn't even have the energy to curse. She sat on the ground and cried in grievance.

More of a fear.

She was afraid that Lin Zhen would disappear.

Don't be afraid, I'm here.

Wen Jing cried for a while and then calmed down.

Seeing that Taoist Priest Wu was staring at her, she was so angry that she asked, "Who are you? Why are you coming to my house?"

Taoist Priest Wu knew that he was in the wrong, so he bowed again and said, "I am Wu Fengyu, the 37th generation descendant of Taixuan Mountain. I was asked to come down the mountain to capture... uh... This matter was caused by my negligence and rash behavior. I hope you will forgive me for any offense."

"Hello, don't be so pedantic, I don't understand!" Wen Jing was very angry.

"This time I came to catch ghosts without investigating thoroughly. It's my fault. I am willing to compensate you for your mental damages. What do you think?"

Wen Jing didn't expect him to say that, "How much compensation?"

"I don't have any money on me, only a jade token that is worth a little. Do you think it's okay?" After saying this, Taoist Wu took out a green square token from his waist and handed it to Wen Jing. It was clean and had nothing engraved on it.

Wen Jing took it and looked at it. She saw that the sign was casually tied with a black leather rope. It looked like a piece of green glass, the same color as the beer bottle.

[A high-quality ice jadeite pendant, the color is very bright, and it is quite generous]

Wen Jing didn't know much about jadeite. To her, it was just a piece of green glass. "Is it valuable?"

[You have seen this thing in your stepmother’s previous life. She had a jade necklace, which was much inferior to this one.]

Wen Jing's eyes widened, and she instantly remembered that at a New Year's party in her previous life, Wen Zhu gave Zhou Guifen a green necklace and even boasted in front of her that she had spent several million to buy it.

She really didn't expect that the necklace and this brand were made of the same material.

I instantly felt the pain in my hand gone and I clenched it immediately.

"This is what you have to pay me! You can't regret it!"

Taoist Priest Wu waved his hands and said, "No, no, I feel like I still owe you two a lot."

After hearing what he said, Wen Jing realized that Wu Fengyu's attitude was too sincere and he seemed to feel guilty towards them.

It is very abnormal for a Taoist priest to see a ghost but not catch it and apologize.

That only means...

"Who are you to Zhang Youcai?"

When Taoist Master Wu heard this name, he felt even more guilty and bowed again, "Alas, my useless junior fellow apprentice did such a bad thing, and as his senior brother, I should make amends."

Wen Jing got angry instantly when she heard him say that, "He locked Lin Zhen up for eleven years. He didn't come to apologize in person, but you do?" She threw the "Nothing to Do" card in her hand back, "I don't accept your apology, let him come in person!"

Taoist Priest Wu took it with his hand, and he was also very upset. If the girl didn't accept his apology, the burden would not be resolved. (The explanation of the Taoist burden is too complicated. It is a bit like the Buddhist cause and effect, but the burden also includes cause and effect. Anyway, let's just treat this matter as cause and effect.)

"My junior fellow apprentice left the mountain more than ten years ago and never came back. I don't know where he is, so I can't bring him to you to apologize."

Wen Jing gritted her teeth, "Do you think I believe it? Your fellow apprentice caused Lin Zhen to be trapped for so many years, and now you are here to cause me to suffer so much, and you want to capture Lin Zhen. Are you two our enemies in our previous life? Why do you want to do this to us?"

Taoist Priest Wu bowed again and said, "My friend, please don't be angry. It was just a misunderstanding before. It was a misunderstanding."

Lin Zhen's cold voice suddenly rang out in the air, "Why is the Resentment Mirror in your hands?"

Taoist Priest Wu was very confused. "The Mirror of Resentment-Transforming was given to me by my master, so of course it will be in my hands."

Lin Zhen was stunned for a moment. Seeing that his hair and beard were all white, he looked to be at least 60 years old. The woman in her memory also had long white hair. She asked nervously, "Is your master...she...still alive?"

"My master passed away ten years ago." Taoist Priest Wu's tone was somewhat sad.

After hearing this answer, Lin Zhen fell silent. The temperature in the room also dropped, and there was a strong sense of sadness.

She died...
