Chapter 283: Injustice and Merit

Just then, an inch-long finger bone appeared in Li Daoxuan's palm.

The bones are white and smooth, like jade, making people unable to take their eyes away.

Chang Wei stared at the finger bones and looked at Li Daoxuan in great confusion.

"Great Immortal, what is this?"

"This is the female ghost." Li Daoxuan smiled while pinching his finger bones. When Chang Wei was bewitched by the female ghost just now, he saw her true form. She was a ghost trapped in the finger bones. She had been gathering in this damp place for many years and now had gained some skills.

It would not be a big deal if he could bewitch ordinary passers-by, but it would not be enough to deal with a Taoist master who came to his house.

That was why he had just let the female ghost do whatever she wanted to teach Chang Wei a lesson. He also wanted to see what her ultimate purpose was. He never thought that it was also to absorb the man's yang energy.

"Great, great immortal, this is what I just said..."

"Yes, this is the girl you were intimate with just now." Li Daoxuan said.

"Ouch!" Chang Wei slapped his thigh, regretting his previous behavior. He didn't expect that the delicate girl was actually a dead bone. Besides waking up to find himself hugging a tombstone, what else did he do to the dead bone before? Thinking of this, his stomach churned and he lay on the ground retching, looking like a victim.

Seeing Chang Wei like this, Li Daoxuan ignored him. He just looked at the finger bones, then pinched his fingers and chanted the technique of manifestation.

Then a soul flew out of the finger bone and fell to the ground in a miserable state.

His hair was disheveled and he was dressed in white.

"Great Immortal, please spare my life!" The ghost kowtowed immediately after landing, fearing that he would be taken away if he was a little late.

Li Daoxuan just smiled and asked the ghost, "Who are you and why are you here?"

When the ghost heard the question, he raised his head and looked at Li Daoxuan. Without hesitation, he told him his story.

"Please calm down, great immortal, and let me explain slowly."

"I am Zhou from Yangzhou, and later married Feng Cheng of the Feng family. Unexpectedly, Feng Cheng wanted me to serve others for his own selfish desires. When I refused, he strangled me to death and buried me here. But God felt sorry for me and let me stay here because it would be difficult to reincarnate without redressing my grievances. I have been here for five years, but I have never harmed others. I just absorbed some of their yang energy and did not dare to kill them. I hope the immortal will have pity on me and help me to redress my grievances."

When Li Daoxuan heard the female ghost say this, he became a little worried.

His eyes lit up and he glanced at the female ghost. She felt her whole body trembling as if she had fallen into a cold spring.

The feeling came and went quickly, and the female ghost didn't dare to say much.

Ignoring Chang Wei, Li Daoxuan pondered for a moment and said, "God's way is clear, karma will prevail. Since you died unjustly, why don't you seek justice from the local city god? Even if I help you, what can I do? After five years, I'm afraid there won't be any evidence left."

After saying that, he sighed.

After all, there was no evidence and no one would believe him. What's more, he had no causal relationship with the female ghost and helping her would only cause trouble.

After all, who knows what is true and who knows what is false?

Hearing what Li Daoxuan said, the female ghost burst into tears, knelt on the ground and bowed to him three times, then raised her hands to the sky and said: "I am willing to swear to God, if there is even a single word I said is false, I will be struck by lightning and never reincarnated! If the immortal is willing to help me clear my grievances, I will work like a cow or a horse in my next life to repay your kindness."

As the female ghost finished her words, a bolt of lightning suddenly appeared in the night sky.

The lightning illuminated the graveyard, illuminating Li Daoxuan's figure clearly.

Listening to the roars coming, it sounded like thousands of troops beating drums to cheer.

Li Daoxuan only felt a flash of golden light in the bridal chamber, but it seemed like it would disappear at any time.

"This is..." He was slightly surprised, and lightly touched the golden light with his mind, and then he knew what the golden light was. He couldn't help but smile bitterly, "It seems that I can't avoid it."

Just by touching the golden light, Li Daoxuan knew what it was. This was the golden light of merit, but it did not belong to him for the time being. Only by helping the ghost girl fulfill her obsession would this golden light of merit be realized.

"I didn't expect that I could obtain the golden light of merit in this way. It is truly an unexpected gain."

Li Daoxuan collected his thoughts, looked at the female ghost again, waved at her, and said, "Forget it, get up. I will take responsibility for this cause and effect, and I will help you with your grievances."

"Thank you, great immortal! Thank you, great immortal!" Upon hearing this, the female ghost burst into tears.

But what the ghost shed were not tears, but fluorescent will-o'-the-wisp.

The female ghost stood up and bowed to Li Daoxuan again, telling him that she was Zhou Qian, the daughter of the Zhou family outside Yangzhou City. She was literate and could write. Later, she married Feng Cheng, the fourth son of the Feng family in Shangguan Town. However, after two years of having no children, Feng Cheng gradually became dissatisfied with her, beating and scolding her at every turn, and even asking her to work as a prostitute to serve others.

After hearing the details, Li Daoxuan felt a bit disgusted with Feng Cheng. After all, this kind of person was too bad and he disliked him very much.

Chang Wei, who was standing by, heard what was said and shouted, "This kid from the Feng family is really not a human being! I can't stand it! If I catch him, I will skin him alive and tear out his tendons!"

Hearing this, Li Daoxuan glanced at Chang Wei and said unhappily: "What are the differences between what you did and what Feng Cheng did? You are just helping the tyrant."

Chang Wei looked distressed when he heard this. He scratched his head and said, "Great Immortal, I know I was wrong. But my brothers have been so kind to me, so I had to follow them. I also don't like that monk, but I can't do anything about it. Besides, I didn't do anything. I didn't touch those good girls."

"To be an accomplice to a traitor is also a crime." Li Daoxuan sneered, and just glanced at Chang Wei and continued talking, "How do your brothers treat you?"

"Your kindness to me is as heavy as a mountain." Chang Wei said.

"If you are dissatisfied with that monk, who will your brothers help?" Li Daoxuan asked again.

"Of course you helped me." Chang Wei said again.

"Really?" Li Daoxuan showed a half-smile, looking at Chang Wei leisurely, "Why don't we make a bet. If you have a conflict with that monk, who will your brothers help?"

"Let's bet. I trust my brothers the most." Chang Wei accepted the bet without hesitation.

"What if I lose?"

"If I lose, I will be a dog for the immortal for the rest of my life."

"My family doesn't need a dog either." Li Daoxuan said disdainfully, and then asked how he would tell Chang Wei if he lost. "If I lose, I will give you a hundred taels of gold."

"Really?!" Chang Wei was overjoyed.

"a man of his words."

"Then I will make a bet with the Immortal."

The two men replied, made a bet, and set off again in their carriage, this time bringing along the female ghost Zhou Qian.

Zhou Qian was wearing white clothes, sitting in the carriage and moving forward.

Although it is a ghost, it can also stay in one place.

When a person dies, the clothes he is wearing are the clothes he was wearing before he died.

Before Zhou Qian died, she was wearing this white dress, so she is now wearing a white dress.

"I still have things to do. I'll help you after I'm done." Li Daoxuan said to Zhou Qian.

"Of course I dare not trouble the Immortal, as long as you can help me to redress my grievances." Zhou Qian replied quickly.

Li Daoxuan nodded and stopped asking her, then lay down in the carriage with his eyes closed and rested.
