A sharp shout sounded from the darkness, carrying mana fluctuations and surging.
Both Fei Bao, who was slashing with a knife, and Xiao Hong, the female ghost who was anxious to stop him, were stunned by the sharp shouts, and their movements instantly became sluggish.
Xu Ce floated out, and in just a flash, he appeared in front of Fei Bao and the female ghost Xiao Hong, next to the blind old woman.
Xu Ce stretched out two fingers and easily caught Fei Bao's fierce kitchen knife blade between his fingers, stopping the blade from attacking the old woman.
Fei Bao was horrified, and his first reaction was that this female ghost Xiao Hong had a helper who suddenly appeared, and he was very powerful!
The female ghost Xiao Hong also felt the same way, thinking that Fei Bao's help had come.
But I felt something was wrong. Since he was Fei Bao's helper, why did he yell "Stop?"
In the blink of an eye, the female ghost Xiao Hong saw Xu Ce stopping Fei Bao from attacking her mother with the blade, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
It doesn't matter that she herself was injured or even lost her soul. She just hoped that nothing would happen to her mother who gave birth to her!
At this time, the female ghost Xiaohong was even more confused. Judging from the other party's actions, it seemed that he was not Fei Bao's helper. Otherwise, he would not have stopped him.
However, the female ghost Xiaohong was scared from the bottom of her bones to the mana fluctuation she felt just now. It was very powerful and she was no match.
The female ghost Xiaohong quickly fell to the ground and said gratefully:
"Thank you so much, Taoist Master, for helping me. I have nothing in return for this little girl."
Fei Bao rubbed his eyes. The light was really too dark. When he saw clearly that the person in front of him was Xu Ce, he first looked happy, and then said in confusion:
"Senior Brother Xu Ce, why are you here? How do you stop me from killing ghosts?"
Xu Ce stared at Fei Bao and said angrily:
"Kill ghosts? Take a closer look and see if this old woman is a human or a ghost!"
Fei Bao was startled, and looked at the old woman formally again. He put his hand under the old woman's breath and felt that she was breathing!
Then someone pinched the old woman's pulse and it was beating!
Also, there is temperature on the wrist.
These characteristics can only be found in living people, but ghosts cannot breathe, have a pulse, or have temperature at all!
He's a living person, not a ghost!
A trace of fear immediately appeared in Fei Bao's heart. If Xu Ce hadn't stopped him and cut him off with the kitchen knife, maybe he wouldn't have killed someone!
Murder must be paid with life!
In this way, Senior Brother Xu Ce saved his life. I'm afraid that he almost made a big mistake.
"Senior Brother Xu Ce, this old woman, why are you living with a ghost?"
Fei Bao was a little confused and didn't understand the situation.
"Ghost? What ghost?"
The old woman had a confused look on her face.
Obviously, he still doesn't know that the daughter he takes care of every day is actually dead long ago. It's just out of filial piety and obsession that he stays in the earth and depends on her.
"Your daughter is already dead, and she cheated me out of my porridge! It's the same bowl of porridge I fed you just now!"
Fei Bao hummed and stared at the kneeling female ghost Xiao Hong with an unkind look on his face.
The female ghost Xiaohong knew that she could no longer hide the news that she was dead, so she sobbed:
"I hope the Taoist Master will spare my life. The little girl has no choice but to do so. Her mother is blind and all alone. If the little girl leaves her mother alone, she will not be able to take care of herself. She has no choice but to do such a shameful thing."
The old woman seemed to understand something. She was stunned for a long time and said with a trembling voice:
"Xiao Hong, Xiao Hong, what did you say? Are you dead? When did it happen, I, why didn't I know!"
"Mom, Xiaohong is dead. Just half a year ago, Xiaohong went out to work and was hit by a speeding carriage. However, the man driving the horse escaped. My daughter couldn't worry about you, so she didn't go to the underworld for a long time.
Report, I just hope that after a hundred years, I will take care of you and have no worries before leaving."
What Xiao Hong said made Fei Bao seem to recall that a woman had indeed died in the town half a year ago, but she had never known who the perpetrator was.
At that time, Fei Bao still felt that it was a pity that the deceased was so beautiful, and lamented that the beauty was so miserable. He never imagined that he would meet him in this way after half a year.
"Even if what you said is true, you are already dead. The dead and the living cannot live together. The so-called separation of yin and yang. If you do this, it will not be good for you or your mother.
!”
Fei Bao said this, but his tone was no longer stiff as before, and instead sounded a little more sympathetic.
Everyone has feelings, and Fei Bao is also a kind-hearted person.
"Xiaohong, Xiaohong, you, you..."
The old woman became very emotional. Her daughter was dead, and she could not accept the news.
And when I thought about the past six months, every time I touched Xiaohong's hand, it was extremely cold. It turned out to be this reason.
"mom……"
The female ghost Xiaohong crawled to the old woman on her knees, sobbing, and the mother and daughter hugged each other.
Fei Bao scratched his head. Seeing such a scene, he felt a little at a loss and said:
"Don't be like this. I, it's not okay if I don't arrest you. From now on, come to my porridge shop and get a bowl of porridge every day. I won't charge you any money."
However, the focus at this time is no longer on Fei Bao, but on Xu Ce.
At this moment, Xu Ce is the ultimate BOSS here!
"Senior Brother Xu Ce, what should we do?"
Fei Bao was very depressed. He was so unlucky that all kinds of bad things could happen to him.
Xu Ce looked at the affectionate mother-daughter old woman and the female ghost Xiaohong, and secretly shook his head. Such things are not uncommon in this world.
But since we have encountered each other, it doesn’t hurt to help a bunch of people. At least you have to stick to your true intentions, that’s good!
Xu Ce said:
"Xiaohong, since Junior Brother Abao is not willing to continue to investigate what you have done, the matter of cheating on porridge can be temporarily exposed.
However, it is not appropriate for you not to report to the underworld for a long time, but to stay in the world for a long time.
If your obsession hadn't been too deep, given your situation, your memory would have been wiped out long ago and you would have become a wandering ghost.
Well, don’t stay in your damp shabby house anymore, follow me and go to the Taoist temple in the town to stay temporarily.”
"Senior Brother Xu Ce, do you want them to stay at a Taoist temple?"
Fei Bao said in disbelief.
Xu Ce nodded,
"right."
"But, senior brother Xu Ce, my master probably won't agree to it."
Regarding this point, based on Fei Bao's understanding of Uncle Quan, he thinks it is very possible.
Xu Ce had a calm smile on his face. If it was before Uncle Quan didn't know his strength, he might have been like this, but now, haha, not to mention that Uncle Quan still asked for something from him, how could he not agree?
