Chapter 3 Wraith
"Is this a lucid dream?" Jiang Wen looked at himself lying on the bed, feeling like someone was spying on him.Calm down your nervousness and try to move towards your body.

Jiang Wen once heard a rumor told by the old people. It is said that during lucid dreaming, one can see things that ordinary people cannot see.If you encounter a stranger or a familiar person calling your name, remember not to answer, otherwise you will never come back.

Although he didn't know whether this rumor was true or not, Jiang Wen knew that he couldn't be too careless now.Regardless of whether it was a lucid dream or not, he needed to wake up from this weird state.

But no matter how hard Jiang Wen tried, he couldn't get even half a step closer to his body.It was like there was a thick wall between the two, and no matter how hard he tried, there was nothing he could do.

"How can your shoes not get wet when you often walk by the river? I'm afraid it's not really dirty." Jiang Wen didn't waste any more effort.He turned his eyes outside the door and looked around at the quiet night scene of Li Mansion.

The lights remained on, swaying slowly with the night wind.Between the shadows, it seems that the figure is shaking among the pavilions.

The flowers, plants and trees cast scattered shadows in the night.The rustling sound among the leaves was like some kind of call, vaguely echoing in Jiang Wen's ears.

"I'm so wronged to die—"

The voice sounded behind his ears, and Jiang Wen felt his whole body getting cold.The vertebrae on the back rushed straight into the sky like water pouring into the sky.

He kept his mouth shut and didn't make any sound.He just turned his head silently and looked into the bedroom.

Just this glance made his hair stand on end.

Just above the big bed, a man in white clothes with disheveled hair was lying next to his body, staring at him with swollen eyes and a pale face.

"I'm not willing to give in, I'm not willing to give in." A hoarse voice came, and Jiang Wen felt like a wet snake body swimming from his cheek.

Jiang Wen barely stabilized his emotions and looked at this stranger calmly.He knew that if his guess was correct, the identity of the man in front of him was Master Li's drowned youngest son.

But I have no enmity with him, so how could this person find me?Could it be that he was peeking at his own body and wanted to take the opportunity to return to the earthly world?

Thinking of this, Jiang Wen couldn't help but remember the story he heard when he was a child. It is said that every ghost in the water who died unjustly was extremely painful and unwilling.They drown in Yin water and are prone to resentment.He will try his best to occupy the body of a living person so that he can live in the earth again.

It is also true that every few days before July [-]th, the elderly at home will ask the children not to go into the water.Otherwise, you have to be careful about being dragged to the bottom of the water by the water ghost and become the scapegoat.

I didn't expect that this rumor turned out to be true. I was afraid that if the third son of the Li family died unjustly, he would turn into a dead soul and claim his life.

Jiang Wen's legs and feet felt a little weak, but he didn't want to look too ugly.First of all, I have no enmity or enmity with the third son of the Li family, so there is no reason why I should suffer retribution.Secondly, I am a Taoist priest after all, so how can I be afraid of ghosts?The second thing is that I can travel between two realms. This experience is even more bizarre than seeing a ghost.If there are really gods, Buddhas and ghosts in the world, then I should be protected by Taoist ancestors, right?

There should be, right?Jiang Wen hesitated slightly, thinking about burning more incense for the Taoist ancestors when he returned.Forcing himself to suppress the fear in his heart, he looked at the ghost in front of him with a reluctant expression.

"Who are you?" Jiang Wen pretended to be powerful and shouted at the other party. Although he was timid in his heart, he still had to act in a threatening manner. "Why disturb people's dreams in the middle of the night?"

"I'm so miserable! I'm so miserable!" Perhaps after hearing Jiang Wen's words, the man in white's voice became sharper.

He stood up from the bed and walked slowly towards Jiang Wen step by step.The ground was wet with drops of water all over his body, and the smell of decaying corpses filled the entire room.The remaining candles trembled in the invisible cold wind, and the originally clean walls began to be covered with moss.

The man in white walked up to Jiang Wen and slowly pulled out his long hair.

It was a face that had been soaked and swollen, like soaked white steamed buns, with maggots constantly crawling inside.

"I'm so unwilling." The man in white opened his mouth and smiled strangely at Jiang Wen. "I will take revenge first, take revenge!"

"I don't know what your grievances are, but if you are willing to tell me, I will definitely fulfill your wish." Jiang Wen found that he could not move and could only let the man in white get closer.He was panicking in his heart, but he didn't stop talking.

But his passionate words were not successful, and the other party raised his hand indifferently.He was going to grab him by the neck.

Seeing that this method didn't work, Jiang Wen had to find another way.It doesn't matter whether it is good or bad now, what is important is to ensure your own life first.Thinking of this, he suddenly frowned.Then the voice became stern: "I am the disciple of the Patriarch of the Sanqing Dynasty! How dare you hurt my life, you beast? If it's too late to turn back now, otherwise I will definitely call for thunder and beat you to pieces!"

The words seemed to work, and the man in white paused his actions.He looked at Jiang Wen with wide pale eyes, and then chuckled.

"Taoist priest? I have seen many fake Taoist priests. Do you think you can scare me?"

The man in white's voice turned cold, and his hands with sharp nails pinched Jiang Wen without hesitation.

Seeing this situation, Jiang Wen felt sad that his life was at stake and he could only watch helplessly as the other party attacked him.

At this critical moment, the ghost made a killing sound as if it had been poked, and quickly moved away from Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wen found that he could move, so he looked behind him in search of the ghost's gaze. It was a golden statue that appeared behind him.

"It hurts me, it hurts me!" The man in white covered his hands and rolled on the ground, screaming in pain.The whole body was covered with golden flames, like vines climbing all over the body.

"What's going on?" Jiang Wen looked at the golden statue.This statue is about the height of a person, and it is sitting cross-legged on a futon with its fingers held in the forehand.His eyes are closed tightly, his golden face is perfect, and the magical magic appears all over his body. He listens quietly and seems to have the sound of celestial music echoing around him.

The more Jiang Wen looked at it, the more frightened he became. The face of the statue was exactly the same as his.

What exactly is going on?He was puzzled and subconsciously reached out his hand to touch the statue.He saw the statue of the god scattering golden light and integrating into his body.

Countless words of wonderful Dharma were collected into my mind, and finally turned into immeasurable Taoist treasures.

After a long time, Jiang Wen opened his eyes.There was charity and holiness in his brows, and his eyes looked at the dead souls who were screaming in pain on the ground.

"So that's the case." Jiang Wen nodded thoughtfully, and he roughly understood the origin of the statue.

"I beg you, please let me go. I beg you, sir." Young Master Li crawled up to Jiang Wen, knelt down on his knees and kowtowed vigorously.

"It's the boy's boldness that offends the Immortal. Please forgive me!"

Bang Bang banged his head several times, and the kowtow was particularly crisp.Jiang Wen stood there calmly, waiting for the ghost to receive some more punishment before speaking slowly.

"You know what's wrong?"

"Young man, you know your mistake, you know your mistake!" the man in white said quickly.

"Do you dare to harm others again in the future?" Jiang Wen asked calmly.

"Don't dare, never dare again."

"Hmph, I see that you have never harmed anyone in normal times. I will let you go this time. If you dare to harm others next time, I will definitely drive you to pieces." Jiang Wen threatened, pointing at the golden fire on the man in white. After saying that, he died.

The golden fire dissipated immediately, as if it had never appeared.

Seeing this, the man in white took a long breath, rubbed his painful hands, and saluted Jiang Wen respectfully.

"Thank you, Immortal, for sparing me."

"No need, tell me your story." Jiang Wen nodded, looking at the other person and said.
