Xie Pinghuai chanted over and over again.
At that moment, Xie Qiao was fully focused on dealing with the vengeful spirit.
However, there seemed to be something wrong with it. She had initially thought that she should be multitasking, but she did not expect that the vengeful spirit would not attack her. Instead, it continued to knock and knock.
The sky was getting darker and darker. Those people were outside the stone wall, so Xie Qiao could not be seen at that moment.
Xie Qiao took out a suppressive talisman and the peach wood sword and struck at the vengeful spirit.
With a bang, it hit the vengeful spiritâs body, burning a big hole.
The vengeful spirit lowered its head to look at the hole, then at her.
Subsequently, it suddenly picked up the big hammer. Clang!
In an instant, Xie Qiao felt her brain almost exploded!
âItâs not right for that brat to disturb your forging. If you let him out, Iâll burn some more money for you, alright?â Xie Qiao said in a low voice.
âKnock, Knock, knockâ¦â he continued to knock.
Xie Qiao was furious.
She raised her head and looked at the sky. Then, she started to walk in the direction of the peach wood sword and the Seven Star Talisman.
âHeavenâs secrets, Merak, Mizar⦠look at the southern dipper on the right and the seven stars on the left. Itâs clear and spiritual. Under my heart, the origin of chaos in Heaven and Earth. Hear my command!â
The peach wood sword in Xie Qiaoâs hand seemed to have transformed into tens of thousands of stars as it smashed toward the vengeful spirit with a crackling sound.
It directly smashed his furnace into pieces.
The vengeful spiritâs body was also smashed several times, and it was riddled with injuries. Xie Qiao immediately acted as if she was about to engage in a great battle.
âItâs broken⦠I canât knock it anymore, itâs broken⦠Mother, the furnace is brokenâ¦â the vengeful spirit actually started crying directly.
Xie Qiao looked at him suspiciously.
The vengeful spiritâs face was distorted, but when it started to cry, Xie Qiao realized that there was something wrong with its bone structure.
Was this⦠a retarded vengeful spirit?
At that moment, Xie Qiao felt a little embarrassed.
The spell earlier was very powerful.
She was afraid. Such a strong vengeful spirit was quite scary.
âMother, the furnace is broken. The furnace is broken⦠I canât forge it anymoreâ¦â the vengeful spirit continued to cry.
Xie Qiao thought for a moment, âHow about⦠I⦠compensate you one? How about this, you come with me, Iâll put you away. When we get back, Iâll carve a new furnace and burn it for you?â
âI need the furnace. I need to work, I need to work,â the vengeful spirit repeated.
âItâs done, itâs done,â Xie Qiao heaved a sigh of relief.
When the vengeful spirit heard that, it actually became obedient and did not look as fierce anymore.
Xie Qiao was secretly marveled. She hurriedly took out the yellow talisman to collect the vengeful spirit and chanted an incantation. Immediately, she captured the vengeful spirit!
It was actually very smooth!
Once the vengeful spirit was captured, the rest needed to be salvaged by humans. Xie Qiao got out to inform Xie Pinggang before the termite exterminators started to take action.
âEldest Brother, the one living here is a silly vengeful spirit. He looks quite pitiful. I didnât spend much effort to capture him,â Xie Qiao said.
Xie Pinggang nodded, âI asked around earlier. The one inside⦠was called Silly Mo. His brain hadnât been working well since he was young. He was bullied when he grew up. His parents were worried that he would starve to death in the future, so they brought him to learn how to forge iron. They built a big furnace at home for him to practice. He only knew how to hammer but not how to shape. His parents scolded him. For some reason, the hot iron hit his face and he died. After he died, his parents felt guilty and upset, so they committed suicide on the locust tree,â Xie Pinggang explained.
Xie Qiao fell into silence for a while.
âNo wonder he kept talking about knocking,â Xie Qiao sighed.
He was a pitiful person.
Logically speaking, such a silly person should not be able to become a vengeful spirit.
Perhaps it was because after so many years, even though he was silly, he could understand. Everyone was rejecting and hating him, so unknowingly, it left a shadow in his heart.
After death, he was not reincarnated, and he even became a vengeful spirit for some reason.
