After all the joking, it’s time to get down to business.

Fayuan asked in a gentle voice: "Donor Qi, now the wronged soul of Princess Lan Xin is staying at the bottom of the pond and is unwilling to reincarnate. Would you be willing to lend a hand and help her to be reborn?"

Qi Gui raised his eyebrows: "Why didn't Master Fayuan help her to be reborn? Why should I help her to be reborn?"

Luo Yiyi nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, since you are a monk, why don't you pray for the soul to be reborn yourself? Besides, Qi Gui is just an ordinary person, not a Taoist priest who catches ghosts. If you ask him to catch female ghosts, won't it be a waste of his life?"

Fayuan did not answer his question directly, but asked: "Donor Qi, do you want to go back to where you should go?"

Qi Gui put away the nonchalant expression on his face, and a hint of sharpness flashed in his eyes.

"Master, do you know where we came from and where we are going?"

"Amitabha! Buddha said: It cannot be explained. All you need to know is that there is a cause before there is an effect."

"Every cause has its effect..."

After Qi Gui silently repeated it several times in his mind, he suddenly became enlightened and bowed to Fayuan.

"Qi Gui thanks Master Fayuan for his guidance."

Fayuan accepted his greeting and then turned around and left in a casual manner. During the whole process, no one noticed him, let alone cast a glance at him.

Luo Yiyi reached out and pulled Qi Gui's sleeve: "Hey, what does this old monk mean? Do you seem to understand everything?"

Qi Gui smiled and asked, "Master, are you willing to go catch ghosts with me?"

Luo Yiyi immediately shook off his sleeves: "What are you talking about? There are no ghosts in this world. They are all lies in the books."

Seeing her look of fear but trying to be strong, Qi Gui's eyes became more gentle.

"I understand. So Master is afraid of ghosts? Forget it. I'll come alone tonight. Who told Master to be so timid that he's afraid of even a little female ghost?"

Provoking others didn't work on Luo Yiyi, but it was particularly useful to Luo Yiyi, whose memory was confused. She immediately jumped up in protest.

"Who are you calling timid? And you said I'm afraid of ghosts? What a joke! Am I, Young Master Liu, the kind of coward who is afraid of ghosts? I'm coming with you tonight, just wait for me. If there are no ghosts, I will definitely laugh at you!"

"Okay, then please come with me tonight to see if there really is a female ghost."

"Huh, huh, huh?"

Luo Yiyi was extremely shocked, but in the end she couldn't bring herself to say that she was afraid of ghosts. So, all the way back, she could be heard mumbling to herself, as if she was hypnotizing herself.

"There are no ghosts in this world. How could there be ghosts in this world? Haha, so there are definitely no ghosts in this world..."

At about 11 o'clock in the evening, Luo Yiyi dragged her heavy steps to the door to meet Qi Gui.

As soon as we met, she yawned loudly: "Look, it's so late and everyone is sleepy. How about we take a nap first and go tomorrow morning?"

Qi Gui picked her up skillfully and said, "Master, don't ghosts only come out at night? How can we encounter them if we go there in the morning?"

"Meet you big-headed ghost!"

"Hmm? Did the Master say anything?"

"No, I was just talking to myself. Hehehe..."

Qi Gui held Luo Yiyi in his arms, used what she considered to be light skills, and quickly jumped out of the high city gate and arrived outside the city.

There was a horse waiting in the woods, which should have been prepared by Qi Gui a long time ago, and it was carrying some supplies.

Qi Gui tapped the ground with his toes and jumped onto the horse with clean and neat movements. When Luo Yiyi came to her senses, she was already sitting in front of him safely.

"drive!"

With a shout, the horse galloped away, moving through the woods at an extremely fast speed, perfectly avoiding all trees and obstacles, and reached the foot of the mountain in less than half an hour.

Leaving the horse at the foot of the mountain, Qi Gui carried Luo Yiyi all the way up the stone steps, as if they were walking on flat ground. At 11:30, the two of them were already standing at the gate of Lingzhao Temple.

The entire temple was no longer noisy as it was during the day. It was completely silent. Even the chirping of insects and birds could not be heard, making the surrounding environment seem even more eerie.

Qi Gui had just finished figuring out where to enter the temple when he turned around and found Luo Yiyi tightly grabbing his clothes from the back and burying her little head in his neck.

He felt amused but also a little distressed, and patted her back gently to calm her down.

But if Luo Yiyi is left somewhere else, what if she misses the chance to return to the world? Not wanting to miss a one in ten thousand chance, Qi Gui could only take her with him.

"Master, don't be afraid. I will definitely protect you and won't let any demons or monsters hurt you in the slightest."

Luo Yiyi was stubborn as usual: "Who is scared? I'm just sleepy!"

"Master, if you are sleepy, would you like to take a nap first?"

Luo Yiyi was afraid that she might never wake up again after this sleep. Besides, how could she possibly fall asleep in such an environment?

At this moment, she finally realized that the sweat from her hands had soaked Qi Gui's clothes, and she quickly withdrew her hands embarrassedly.

"...No need, put me down, I can walk by myself. How can I look like a grown man being held like this by you?"

"Yes, Master."

The moment she was put down to the ground, Luo Yiyi's legs went weak and she sat down on the ground. Fortunately, Qi Gui did not let go completely and pulled her up in time, which saved her from having to go to her grandmother's house in disgrace.

She pressed herself against Qi Gui's thighs, and couldn't help but reach out and grab his pants tightly, stretching her neck to save her dignity that had long been gone.

"My legs are numb from being held by you for so long. This is all your fault!"

"Well, it's all my fault."

"Are you perfunctory with me?"

"Disciple doesn't dare, Master, please be careful of the threshold."

The two of them talked in low voices, which dispelled the fear in Luo Yiyi's heart.

Qi Gui gently pushed open the half-open temple door, and walked in through the gap with Luo Yiyi.

Walking in the quiet temple, Luo Yiyi's tense nerves gradually relaxed because she didn't encounter anything strange, and various questions came to her mind.

"Why don't the monks here close their doors at night? Aren't they afraid that thieves might come in and steal things?"

"There shouldn't be anything to steal, right?"

"How could there be nothing to steal? I saw it clearly during the day, so much silver was put into the merit boxes, and there are several merit boxes in each hall!"

"Monks should count the money in the donation box after closing the door every day and put it away for the maintenance of the temple and daily expenses. The excess money will be kept for charity at critical moments."

"Wouldn't they have hidden money?"

"No, true monks are strict with themselves and self-denial. Their beliefs are no less than the swordsmanship of sword practitioners. Didn't Master stay in Wuliang Sect for a period of time? Although the methods of practice of Buddhist practitioners and monks are different, they are essentially the same."

Luo Yiyi nodded, not quite understanding: "How amazing! I definitely couldn't do that if it were me."

"You don't have to do it. Master, whatever you want, I will definitely give you."

Although this was not the first time she heard him say this, Luo Yiyi still didn't believe it in her heart.

So, she said casually: "Then I want to be the emperor, so that I can rule the world!"

Unexpectedly, Qi Gui actually stopped, turned around and looked at Luo Yiyi with an extremely serious look in his eyes, and then performed a standard disciple salute.

"Disciple, obey the order!"
