1345: Completely Dumbfounded

Completely Dumbfounded

"Your body has a strong spiritual aura." The old woman looked at Feng Jiu: "You aren't a beggar are you?" A beggar would not possess such a pure spiritual power.0

Upon hearing this, Feng Jiu's expression wavered slightly, she glanced at the old woman and nodded: "Well, it is safer for me to be disguised as a beggar as I am travelling alone."

"Elder sister, elder sister, play with me, elder sister, play with me…."

The childlike voice drifted in from outside again, the voice carried a hint of crying. But compared to the pitch blackness outside, the horror of the voice was lessened in the ancestral hall lit up with lanterns.

She glanced outside and asked: "How come they can't come inside?" This place didn't seem like there was anything special about it, so why couldn't the vengeful spirits enter.

"Because they are afraid I will refine them, that's why they don't dare to enter." The hunchbacked old woman replied, and took a bite of her cake as she continued to eat. 

When she heard this, Feng Jiu was startled: "Refine them? How do you refine them?"

The old woman raised her dull eyes and looked at her, instead of replying, she asked; "Do you know where vengeful spirits come from?"

"No."

She shook her head truthfully, she honestly didn't know. She only knew that there were ghosts, she didn't even know there was such a thing as vengeful spirits who didn't have any ghostly aura, who knew where they came from. 

"Ghosts are the souls of people after they die, vengeful spirits are born out of resentment. To put it bluntly, swords have sword spirits, born from the illusion of the sword to become the guardian spirit of the sword. However, vengeful spirits are far inferior to such things as sword spirits because they have resentment."

Feng Jiu listened, and though she had said a lot, she hadn't told her why the vengeful spirits were afraid that she would smelt them. 

As she was thinking about that, she saw that the old woman had finished eating her cake and stood up to walk outside slowly. Seeing this, Feng Jiu followed her and saw that there were many rag dolls standing and squatting outside, and even the scarecrows had come. They had surrounded the ancestral hall and were shouting. She was quite surprised at the sight. 

What surprised her even more was when a black shadow flashed in front of her. The hunchbacked old woman stretched out her hand and seized the rag doll and guided it with her hand and pulled it away. 

"Ah! Granny Ghost is terrible!"

The rag dolls and scarecrows who had surrounded them dispersed quickly in exclamation until, there was no one left other than the rag doll the old woman that was struggling in the hand of the old woman. 

She was surprised at the sudden change of events when she noticed that the old woman seemed to be guiding something in her hand. She pulled a ball of light away from the rag doll and pinched it in her hand, like she was pinching a piece of rag. 

"Ah! Help…..Granny Ghost is horrible…."

The ball of light that resembled a ball of cotton wool leaped and tried to escape, but it was pinched back in her hand as she walked back. 

The ball of light was a vengeful spirit? She was slightly startled, and couldn't quite believe it. The spirit was much more attractive than the ghosts, the light alone was more pleasing to the eye. 

Moreover, this old woman was really powerful, she was actually able to grab the vengeful spirit in one go. 

She was just about to step forward to take a look at the ball of light in the old woman's hand, but who knew, what happened next caused her to stand still in astonishment…..
