Reborn Girl's New Life

Chapter 780 Hunting Ghosts

Gu Changle went to the airport to meet Shao Tianze immediately after she received his call.

Not seeing Ding Tong and Yuan Xi, Gu Changle asked curiously, “Didn’t they come back together?”

“Well, I don’t wanna die. How could I come back together with them?”

Shao Tianze asked her back.

Gu Changle understood. She said, “Fair enough. Actually, it’s the same for Ding Tong. God knows what Song Yunxuan will do to her.”

Gu Changle picked up Shao Tianze from the airport. When they got home, Gu Changle asked him, “Ding Tong is back, but does she have a plan to deal with Song Yunxuan?”

“Yuan Xi knows how to deal with Song Yunxuan, but I’m not quite sure.” Shao Tianze picked up his teacup and blew it gently.

Gu Changle paused a moment and said, “Maybe we should ask Yuan Xi.”

“He told us that Song Yunxuan is Gu Changge’s ghost, didn’t he? If she is a ghost, why not find someone to scare her away?”

Hearing his words, Gu Changle slit her eyes. She hesitated and said, “But this...”

“Go on.”

Noticing Gu Changle’s hesitation, Shao Tianze asked her to continue.

Gu Changle said, “But this is quite superstitious. No one must know about it because there are already skeptical voices about Gu Changge’s death. They suspect us to be murderers. This unabashed exorcising thing will only verify their suspicion. It’s not good for us anyway.”

It was thoughtful of her, so Shao Tianze nodded and said, “Just like what you said, we will do it secretly.”

“Where to find an exorcist, then?”

Gu Changle asked Shao Tianze.

Shao Tianze answered after pondering, “Thailend.”

“But you just got back from Thailend. Do you think it’s a good idea to go there again?”

“Well, we don’t have any other choice. You saw what happened to Yuan Xi. We got to make haste, or we’ll be doomed soon.”

Gu Changle’s heart secretly chilled at his words. She asked immediately, “Should you go for it, or shall I?”

“Why don’t you go?”

Shao Tianze sighed, “I shouldn’t go to Thailend. Go get a good master and send Song Yunxuan back to hell.”

“I got it.”

Gu Changle wasted no time after this.

She sent her men to Thailend at once to look for a good exorcist.

But most of the masters in Thailend were adept at spells such as cursing. Only White Dragon King and Xuanshui Dragon King were experts in exorcising.

And because of their prominence in Hinayana and Mahayana, White Dragon King’s death had caused alarm in Thailend against people from Yuncheng.

Once they knew the person sent by Gu Changle was from Yuncheng, they rejected him outright.

Gu Changle was angry at this news. She said to Shao Tianze, “If they don’t want to help us, we can get one here at home. We also have these sorts of things like gods, Bugghas, ghosts, and demons. Shouldn’t we trust our own exorcists instead of theirs?”

Figuring that what she said made sense, Shao Tianze agreed to her advice.

Getting an exorcist abroad was hard, but it was quite a piece of cake at home. By simply giving the name of the Shao Family, they found two experts from temples: One was an old monk with a white beard. The other was a Taoist priest dressed in a tunic.

Gu Changle had made a plan B. She thought to herself that if the monk failed, she would choose the Taoist priest.

But unexpectedly, when the monk walked into the house of the Shao Family, he looked down on the ground and said, “The feng shui is not bad here.”

Gu Changle said smilingly, “Yeah. My father believed in feng shui when he was alive. He also told me that the house was handed down in this family and that we should never sell it.”

“But I’m not sure you can keep it for long.”

The Taoist priest broke in while the monk kept silent.

The remark caught Shao Tianze’s attention immediately.

Shao Tianze asked the monk with his eyes slit, “What do you mean?”

The Taoist priest stroked his goatee and said, “There is a feeling of the former owner in this house.”

“The former owner?”

“I mean the previous owner of the house.”

“It belonged to my ex-wife.”

The Taoist priest and the monk had heard of the name Gu Changge.

So they nodded when they heard Shao Tianze’s words.

“Your wife must be a blessed woman.”

“Blessed?” Gu Changle laughed when she heard the word.

When she repeated this word, she was laughing at Gu Changge in her heart.

How could she die at such a young age if she was truly blessed?

She could tell that the old monk was nothing but a liar.

Gu Changle thought to herself. But subsequently, the old monk said, “The former owner still has the blessing, and someday she will regain the house.”

“She is dead, old monk.” Gu Changle reminded him.

But what she said was very impolite.

Hearing that, Shao Tianze glanced at Gu Changle in displeasure.

Realizing that she had been rude, Gu Changle shaded her mouth with one hand.

But the old monk did not take it personally.

He merely said, “The house’s owner will come back, so I can’t expel her.”

After that, the monk made a slight bow to Shao Tianze and Gu Changle, and then he murmured, “Amitabha...”

The old monk left the yard of the Shao Family, muttering his prayers.

Watching the monk’s back as he departed, Gu Changle could not help frowning. She said, “That’s ridiculous! The old guy must be bluffing.”

The Taoist priest was still with them. Seeing the anger on Gu Changle’s face and hearing those bad words she had said about the old monk, he retorted, “Abbot Qingchen wasn’t bluffing.”

Gu Changle would not care if the monk was the only one saying that. But the Taoist priest just said the same thing, which was totally unexpected.

Gu Changle and Shao Tianze both frowned.

“Is this house haunted, Master?” asked Shao Tianze very politely.

“Well, I won’t say it’s haunted because I don’t feel any ghosts. Rather, I feel a living soul.”

Hearing this, Shao Tianze and Gu Changle felt that their hearts sank.

It was not a ghost but a living soul. Didn’t it mean that if Gu Changge was truly back, she was here with them not as a ghost but a human?

If so, how could they eliminate Gu Changge for good?

Gu Changle looked pale. She turned to Shao Tianze and asked in despair, “Tianze, what should we do?”

Shao Tianze was startled, but he kept it to himself. He asked the Taoist priest, “There is always a solution, isn’t there?”

“Sure,” the Taoist priest nodded, and then he smiled meaningfully, “But it’s easier said than done. Exorcising a ghost is quite easy, but now we are dealing with the harder part. I’m afraid...”

“What?” asked Gu Changle.

“Which means killing,” said the Taoist priest fiercely with his eyes slit.

Hearing that, Shao Tianze and Gu Changle were relieved somehow.

They were not afraid of humans, but they were afraid of ghosts.

Because ghosts, which were both invisible and intangible, could be felt only by imagination.

And that was what made them horrible.

But unlike ghosts, humans were real. At least, they were quite visible.

And they were tangible.

And because of that, they could kill Song Yunxuan and erase her from the world forever.

Gu Changle and Shao Tianze had both killed people.

So they were not afraid of killing at all.

But now, killing Song Yunxuan had become the toughest task for them.

They had no choice but to rely on those superstitious monks or Taoist priests.

“So, what’s the plan, Master?”

Shao Tianze asked the Taoist priest thoughtfully.

The Taoist priest said, “Well...”

He put on an act, pretending he was thinking. But meanwhile, as if unwittingly, he rubbed his thumb and index finger.

Shao Tianze understood instantly that it was the movement of counting money. He told the Taoist priest immediately, “That’s easy. As long as you can work this out and protect me and my families from those ghosts, I will pay for it.”

Seeing that Shao Tianze understood quickly, the Taoist priest was pretty satisfied. He pulled back his hand and said seriously, “Mr. Shao, your ex-wife became a ghost and stayed because she held grudge against the family.”

“How can we eliminate her, then?”

Gu Changle asked the Taoist priest hastily.

The Taoist answered her, “Her resentment was deep, but she knew that she wouldn’t exist for long as a ghost. So she found a girl and possessed her.”

It sounded like the plot in some ghosts hunting movies they had seen before.

And it sounded so unbelievable, just like a joke.

But Shao Tianze and Gu Changle believed it because they had met Song Yunxuan before, and they had seen how grieved she was after Miaomiao’s death and witnessed what she had done to Yuan Xi.

Actually, they had faith in the Taoist priest. All their hopes laid on him.

“Just do whatever you can, Master. We will give you anything you want as long as you can help us out of this crap.”

There was an attitude of respect to the Taoist priest in Gu Changle’s words.

It contrasted sharply with the rude manner with which Abbot Qingchen had been treated.

As he was pleased by Gu Changle’s attitude, the Taoist priest stood tall and said confidently, “Don’t worry. She must be too weak to control the body since she hasn’t been possessed long. A simple spell will do. As soon as she comes out of the body, I will kill her once and for all. She will vanish, nevermore!”

“Nevermore...” Gu Changle repeated the word. There was a joyful look on her face.

“Yes,” she thought, “Gu Changge nevermore shall come back!”
