The old ghoul floated up and looked very calm. After all, he was an old man who had lived for many years. His aura was indeed extraordinary.
“Theard that you can fulfill the last wish of ghouls, so I came to seek your help,” the ghoul said.
“TIl do my best,” Xie Qiao replied directly.
She agreed too readily, the ghoul was stunned. “You’re not going to talk about the conditions? I’m a ghoul that has lived for hundreds of years. I know a lot of things and have seen a lot of the world. I even know where to get a lot of money.”
“You don’t have any blood qi. It shows that although you’ve lived for a long time, you haven’t harmed anyone. Moreover, since you’re here, you should also know that if I fulfill your wish, you will naturally be sent to hell to be reincarnated… If you don’t stay in this world and are willing to leave, then it’s
good karma for me. What else do I have to ask for?” Xie Qiao said frankly.
There was nothing wrong with ghouls staying in this world.
Those with obsessions would not have much of an impact.
However, those with grievances… the number should be reduced as much as possible.
“That’s right. I know the rules on your side.” The old ghoul nodded and then looked at the tea leaves that Xie Qiao was drinking.
Xie Qiao politely poured him a cup of tea so that he could drink it too.
“What do you wish for? Do tell,” Xie Qiao said.
“It’s not just a wish.” The old ghoul pondered for a moment, “My descendants… In other words, their spirits have all disappeared. I hope that you can help me look for them. If you find them, you can send those spirits that remain in my family to hell. I am their ancestor, I can make the decision.”
Xie Qiao was stunned for a moment. “The spirits… are living together?”
The old ghoul glanced at her and said in the end, “Do you know the Baili family?”
Xie Qiao immediately sat up straight. “Could it be…”
“That’s right. During the previous dynasty, several hundred members of my Baili family were exterminated, and their fate was miserable. Even those who were related to my family were implicated. After they died, some of them became spirits.
“As for me, Baili Ji, I was the first person to paint the world map. At that time, I only wanted to record this beautiful landscape. Because the painting wasn’t completed, I stayed in this world after my death. | initially wanted to wait for the world map to be completed before looking for an opportunity to
leave, but I didn’t expect that because of this painting, none of my descendants would survive.” The old ghoul said again.
Initially, he only had an obsession and did not have any resentment.
However, later, when he saw that his descendants had all died because of his painting, he became filled with resentment.
He blamed himself and also the previous emperor.
“Little girl, you and I are quite fated.” Baili Ji looked at her faintly. “Back then, I pestered the previous Emperor for some time. Later on, it was the Taoist master from the Water Moon Temple who took me away. That Taoist master must be your great-grandmaster.”
Xie Qiao was stunned.
This origin… was quite ancient.
“The rivers and mountains changed, and the enemies died long ago. The descendants of the previous Emperor also died. Although I still have this resentment, I have nowhere to vent it. So, I have been floating around, taking care of the souls of those descendants along the way, so as to prevent them from
harming others or slowly dissipating.
“This old man has always hoped that they can be reincarnated.”
Unfortunately, it was not easy for ghouls with resentment or obsession to be reincarnated.
If they had no desires or obsessions, they might be able to go back when the gate of hell opened, but it was also entirely dependent on luck. Moreover, even ghouls had their own opinions. It was too difficult to truly have no desires or obsessions.
