Chapter 12: Stand-in (Part 1)

The Taoist seal was formed. Gu Zhisang’s two fingers were like swords, with the power of a Taoist spell, she touched the Xuanji position of Gao Lin’s soul.

This acupoint was an essential place for ghosts to gather energy. At this moment, she held it firmly. The resentment accumulated and exploded like a punctured ball with a ‘bang’.

“Are you awake?” She said with a cold tone as she stood still while holding the seal with one hand. If Gao Lin still wanted to turn into a resentful ghost, she would not show mercy.

Gao Lin’s soul trembled when the transformation process was interrupted by force. Due to the extreme pain, those grievances condensed into a crystal clear teardrop and flowed down, and his already weak soul somewhat became more transparent.

“Thank…you…master.”

Li Chenghe on the side couldn’t see the ghost. So when he saw his friend being kicked out, he rushed over in shock: “What are you doing?!”

Gao Zhi grabbed his arm and shook his head. Then suddenly, he opened his mouth to spit out black and foul blood: “…Master Gu is saving me.”

When his father’s soul turned black, he felt a piercing cold air like a sharp cone, ruthlessly piercing into his flesh and internal organs, and a breath of cold air was trapped in his chest cavity.

On the contrary, Gu Zhisang who kicked him caused him to spit out the hanging breath of cold air, saving half his life.

“Master Gu, what happened to my dad?!”

“The transformation of resentment is a precursor to transforming into a fierce ghost.” Gu Zhisang withdrew his seal, looked at Gao Lin, and sighed softly: “I know you want revenge, but your soul is too weak. If I hadn’t used the Soul Suppressing Talisman to press you, when the formation is broken, you would dissipate! Even if the transformation is successful, you can only be an inferior ghost without consciousness.”

There were many levels of ghosts. The powerful ones can have the memories and emotions of their previous lives and even cultivate and walk in the world of the living.

The weak ghosts who cannot hold back their resentment will become corrupted and become ghosts that cause harm to the world. Not only attacking their enemies but also attacking others indiscriminately.

Just now Gao Zhi was overwhelmed by his father’s uncontrollable resentment.

This kind of ghost can easily become a murderer and it can’t be reincarnated at all. Generally, people in the Taoist sect will kill them immediately when they encounter it!

Hearing this, Gao Zhi stumbled over. His eyes were red as he said: “Dad, don’t become a ghost. It’s all my fault. I didn’t see their sinister intentions, and harmed you and our family!”

Gao Lin, who had regained his clarity, looked pained. He didn’t dare to touch his son again, for fear that the yin energy on his body would have a negative impact.

So one person and one ghost whimpered in the empty main hall of the villa. Coupled with the dark and silent night outside, it felt a little weird no matter how you looked at it.

Li Chenghe, who was standing aside holding the big rooster, stared wide-eyed but was unable to see anything. He was depressed in his heart. But suddenly, a talisman was handed in front of him.

“For, for me?” He froze.

Gu Zhisang: “You don’t want it?”

Li Chenghe was overjoyed, grabbed it, and put it on his forehead, “I want it!”

When he saw a blurry figure in his line of sight, he was so excited that tears filled his eyes. He turned his head to Gu Zhisang and said: “Master Gu, you are my benefactor! Don’t worry, no one will dare to hate you in the filming of the next program!”

Gu Zhisang: “???”

This old director is weird.

What she doesn’t know is that some people in the world are fanatical about metaphysics but have extremely poor talents. Li Chenghe was one of them.

When he was young, he visited Taoist schools, but none of the Taoist temples were willing to accept him, saying that he was born with a closed spiritual sense and strong yang energy. The possibility of entering the Taoist sect was zero, and the possibility of falling into ghosts and evil spirits was very low. This kind of despair was something that a peerless genius like Gu Zhisang who was born with psychics couldn’t feel.

After living for decades, how could Li Chenghe not be excited when he saw a ghost for the first time?

After wiping away his tears, Gao Zhi held back his sobs and gritted his teeth, and asked:

“Dad, I still don’t understand why. Aren’t we relatives?! Grandpa and grandma are also his parents, and my younger sister…how can he do that when my younger sister is so young?!”

Gao Lin was silent for a long time and finally told the secrets of the older generation in the past.

His younger brother Gao Shuo, who was the instigator of their Gao family’s fierce battle, actually has a different mother.

Their father, Old Master Gao, started his family business from scratch when he was young. He and his wife were childhood sweethearts. The relationship between the two was very good.

Because he was handsome, young, and promising. He was taken fancy by the daughter of an official in Yuncheng at that time. That daughter, Miss Guan had some mental problems and acted perverted and crazy. She insisted on forcing the old man to remarry and put all kinds of pressure on him.

Old Master Gao was unwilling in every possible way, but Miss Guan was so crazy that she tried all means to forcefully have a physical relationship with him and gave birth to Gao Shuo.

This incident was a shame for any self-respecting person, so a few years later, Old Master Gao expanded his career and collected all kinds of criminal evidence of the Guan Family to bring them down.

Because of the mental breakdown, Miss Guan died not long after, leaving only Gao Shuo who was not wanted.

Old Madam Gao looked at Gao Shuo, who was covered in abuse injuries and was as thin as a cat, and felt that the child was innocent. She took him home and raised him as her son.

There was only a two-year age gap between Gao Lin and Gao Shuo. Since then, they have grown up together.

He thought that he and this younger brother were like solid brothers, but he didn’t expect the other party to have murderous intentions. He spent several years thinking of these ferocious formations, guiding him to fall into this trap, and collecting his horoscopes, blood, etc.

After causing him to self-immolate, Gao Shuo fooled Gao Zhi, who was only a teenager at the time, and asked him to hang the word “Jing” on the wall with his own hands. And only after that, he showed his ferocious face after his son left.
