Chapter 182 Restless Female Ghosts (1)
Tang Li went to the Zhang family at two in the afternoon.
The Zhang family was not far from the Tang family’s house. They were all in famous rich neighborhoods. However, their house was a large duplex villa. The decorations were also done in European style. When she walked in, she saw a tall living room with three floor-to-ceiling windows. There was a spiral staircase and a crystal chandelier that was a few meters high. It looked especially magnificent.
“Fourth Madam Qi, please come in.”
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang welcomed Tang Li in from outside the door. There were only a few children sitting in the living room. These children obviously had good upbringing All of them sat quietly on the sofa in the living room and did not run around shouting.
Tang Li glanced at them. As expected, all of them were very thin and looked very sick.
Other than the children, there were no other adults.
Madam Zhang explained to her, “Fourth Madam said yesterday that I had to bring the children to the temple hall, so I didn’t let my son, daughter-in-law, and daughter stay at home.” He then invited her to sit on the sofa.
After the servant served the tea, Mr. Zhang said, “We’ve already prepared everything that Fourth Madam asked us to prepare yesterday. What else do you need later? I can get someone to prepare it immediately.”
“That’s all.” Tang Li picked up the tea and took a sip. Her gaze scanned the children’s faces. In order to not scare the Zhang family, she purposely took out a piece of talisman from her pocket. She held it between her fingertips and threw it at the children. The talisman automatically ignited in midair. Then, she asked the oldest child, “Kid, what have you
seen?”
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang were shocked and immediately held their breaths.
Zhang Junhao seemed to know what Tang Li was asking about. He tilted his head and thought for a while before telling her, “I see many sisters. They always ask me to play with them.”
He pointed at the door. “They like to wave at me there.”
Upon hearing this, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang’s faces turned pale.
“Junhao, why didn’t you tell Grandma about this before?”
“Those big sisters didn’t allow me to tell anyone about it. They said they would eat me up if I said it.”
After saying that, Zhang Junhao’s scrawny body trembled.
Madam Zhang’s heart ached so much that she immediately walked over and hugged him. Then, she said to Tang Li, “Junhao never told us about this.”
“Because he doesn’t dare.” After Tang Li finished speaking, she asked the youngest child, “Have you played with those big sisters?”
The youngest was a twin boy. They nodded to Tang Li. One of the boys said, “We played hide and seek, but those big sisters didn’t play by the rules. They always pushed us from behind.”
Upon hearing this, the Zhang couple’s faces turned even paler.
Madam Zhang was so scared that she cried. “So the children have been seeing ghosts and even interacted with them. Boohoo…”
When the children saw their grandmother crying, they shuddered in fear.
Tears also welled up in Mr. Zhang’s eyes. He crossed his fingers and begged Tang Li, “Fourth Madam, please help my grandchildren. What the older generations did has nothing to do with them… If they really wanna seek revenge, take revenge on me instead.”
Tang Li nodded and stood up. “Bring me to your temple hall.”
The two of them quickly stood up and called the children up.
Then, they led Tang Li inside.
Walking past the living room was a long corridor.
Tang Li casually sized up the place she passed by. In the middle of this duplex villa was a medium-sized courtyard. There was a small fountain in the courtyard and famous flowers and plants were planted beside it. She walked past the middle courtyard and arrived at the house at the back. She walked for a while in the corridor before arriving outside the temple hall.
Looking at the temple hall, Tang Li frowned at the strong resentful air inside.
Mr. Zhang was the first to push open the temple hall.
As soon as the door opened, a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva came into view. Underneath the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva were memorial tablets of the Zhang family’s ancestors.
Mr. Zhang planned to enter first.
Tang Li immediately stopped him. “Don’t go in
yet.”
Hearing that, Mr. Zhang froze. At the next moment, he quickly retracted his feet, fear flashing across his eyes. “Master Tang, did you see something?” “Yeap…”
Tang Li walked in first.
The smell of incense ash floated in the temple hall. It was much colder than other places. Especially Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, his eyes were much fiercer than usual.
Tang Li only took three steps before she stopped. She asked, “Give me the things I asked you to prepare.” “They’re In the other room. I’ll get them right away.”
“Yeap…”
Mr. Zhang soon returned with the things Tang Li asked for.
He wanted to pass them to Tang Li, but the moment one of his feet entered the hall, a stinging sensation shot up his spine.
Mr. Zhang shuddered and hurriedly called Tang Li, “Master Tang.”
Tang Li turned around to look at him.
When Mr. Zhang saw Tang Li’s calm face, he felt inexplicably ill at ease, saying, “These are the things you wanted.”
“Bring them in.”
Mr. Zhang braced himself and walked through the door again. This time, the bone-chilling cold did not seep into his feet. However, when he walked in and saw the group of female ghosts around the memorial tablets, he was so scared that he almost shook his soul out of his body. “What…”
Hearing Mr. Zhang’s frightened voice, Madam Zhang, who was still outside and couldn’t see anything, hurriedly asked, “Zhenghe, what’s wrong?”
With that, she drew closer, wanting to see what was going on inside.
“Don’t come in…”
“Ah…”
Madam Zhang let out a scream. Her legs went limp and she fell to the ground in fear. “Grandma! Grandma!”
“Grandma!”
A few children came over to help her up. Madam Zhang hastened to stop them with trembling lips. “Just stand there and don’t move.”
The children immediately froze.
Mr. Zhang tried his best to put himself together and asked Tang Li, “Master Tang, are they…?”
“Yes.”
Hearing that, Mr. Zhang almost fell to the ground as his legs shivered. Suddenly, those female ghosts fixed their gazes at Mr. Zhang fiercely and started to approach him.
Mr. Zhang let out another scream of fear, and this time, he fell to the ground.
“Master… Master Tang.”
Tang Li looked at the group of female ghosts, who were edging closer, and said in a deep voice, “They are not your enemies. The people who made you suffer are already dead. You have been wandering about in the human world for too long and you are not supposed to be here. I will turn you all into ashes today and help you rest in peace.” “No… the Zhang family has ruined our lives. Why should we allow their descendents to lead a rich and carefree life? We will kill every single one of their descendants.”
Mr. and Mrs. Zhang were so scared that their bodies kept trembling.
I
Tang Li snorted and said, “I think you guys must know that Mr. Zhang’s father is not really a member of the Zhang family. The people who tortured have no descendents left in this world.”
“Since he has been worshiping the ancestors of the Zhang family, he is one of the Zhang family. As long as he is from the Zhang family, we will make him suffer the retribution.”
Mr. Zhang widened his eyes in surprise when he heard the conversation between Tang Li and the female ghosts, thinking to himself, “I am not one of the Zhang family? How is that
possible?”
At that moment, Tang Li said to Mr. Zhang, “Sprinkle the ashes of the plants I asked you to prepare over the ground.”
