Chapter 122: The Spirit Appears

As Mr. Johnny moved, the atmosphere of the entire deep pool became more violent, and the waves that rose up to the sky hit the rocks where we were standing, then broke, splashing us with water, and occasionally a vicious fish would be swept up and fall heavily on the rocks, struggling endlessly, even so, it wanted to attack us frantically.

The rocks shook, the dark substance in the sky was constantly changing shape in the sudden gusts of wind, and the entire deep pool inexplicably emitted a ‘woof’ sound.

Originally, it was just a simple flower-picking action, but Uncle Johnny was having a particularly hard time doing it. During the process of reaching out, his teeth were clenched, and his entire neck was bulging with veins, as if there was a huge resistance hindering his movements.

We can’t bear this violence. Brother Chengxin glanced at Uncle Johnny and said, “Chengyi, activate the formation and start resisting.”

But before the words had finished, Grandpa Johnny turned around and shouted, “Wait a minute. Fighting now will hurt Zhenya’s soul.”

I had no choice but to nod in agreement to his request. Fortunately, no matter how violent the world was, the power of the formation was still protecting us. In fact, I had just carefully sensed that the power that protected us did not come from the formation itself, but from the power of all of us flowing in the formation. It was our own collective power that was protecting us.

If Uncle Johnny’s time drags on too long, this power will obviously not be able to withstand this kind of violence without the formation being activated.

Although I didn’t want to admit it, I knew that the force behind the rage was actually the power of the soul. The soul’s power is manifested in the mind, influencing matter! Patell is really too powerful. Think about the old forest, and Wu Laogui’s poor physical abilities, which can only lift some light objects. In contrast, Patell is simply the most powerful of the ghosts, and he is still sealed.

“Yingya, this is another choice. If you want to come with me, you have to help me.” Uncle Johnny shouted. Perhaps he also knew that our situation could not be delayed any longer, and he had to take Yingya’s soul away quickly.

Facing the words of Uncle Johnny, the red flower that seemed so weak in the wind and rain trembled violently. I don’t know what it meant, but at that moment, I felt a sad soul will permeate the entire rock. I felt as if I were feeling the most heartbreaking and helpless feeling of a woman.

Was it a response to Uncle Johnny? At that moment, I saw Uncle Johnny’s outstretched hand suddenly grab the red flower. My heart suddenly felt some relief. After so many years since Zhenya’s death, she had finally made a choice again.

The huge waves suddenly stopped at that moment, turning into splashes of water that fell back into the deep pool. The violent wind also seemed to have been turned off by someone, suddenly becoming gentle, so gentle that it was a little sad, emitting a sound similar to a sob.

This sadness and the sadness on the rocks intertwined, perhaps it startled the heavens and earth, and turned into tears of rain, dripping down the deep pool.

I don’t know if it was my illusion, but the rain was tinged with a faint red color, and the entire pool was filled with a very faint smell of blood. We who were in it only felt the sadness, but we didn’t know why it was like this, because all these changes in the world were like the beginning, and they happened in an instant.

Uncle Johnny kept holding the little red flower, his face full of mixed emotions, tears falling one by one. His voice trembled as he said in a low voice, “Diao Ya, you have finally made a choice. It’s not too late. You know, even if you go back a thousand years later, as long as you are willing to open your heart, your family will still forgive you. Go back to the family cemetery. Mom and Dad have been waiting for too long…”

While he was talking, Uncle Johnny suddenly pulled hard, and the red flower was pulled from the rock by Uncle Johnny. This was a simple action, but people who know their stuff know that if a person’s soul is parasitic on a certain material, and the material is moved, it also represents that the soul is moved. If the soul does not want to be moved, it should manifest resistance at this time.

Everything was quiet. The red flower, with its roots, lay quietly in Grandpa Johnny’s hand. I felt that the rock we were standing on shook violently at that moment, as if someone were very sad and suddenly felt a heavy thump in their heart.

But there was nothing more to be done. The sky was still drizzling with pale red rain, as if there was nothing else to do except cry.

“Shall we start the exorcism?” Hui Gen’er was sitting there, perhaps his mood had settled to a certain level, his eyes were compassionate and indifferent, as if he could see through everything, just doing what needed to be done.

But Uncle Johnny shook his head and looked at the sky and said, “Patel, he was so sad that part of his soul’s power had dispersed. This is the power of the refined blood and the power of resentment from the blood pool. The red rain.”

What did Uncle Johnny want to say? I didn’t understand, but I looked at the drizzle in the sky, thinking… At least I understood the meaning of the sentence. It’s like when someone is extremely sad, they can’t help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and when the soul is extremely hurt, the will is scattered, and it is not enough to condense all the soul power, so part of the original power will be lost.

“Patel, you always like to make dark guesses. All our feelings for you are just a means to an end. Today, I’m going to liberate Zoya, but I want Zoya to say goodbye to you…” When Mr. Johnny said this, it seemed as if he was struggling, and the time between each word was so long.

An inexplicable mist rose from the deep pool, and in the mist, figures appeared, floating on the surface of the deep pool, trying to get closer to us, but they seemed to be afraid of the red flower in Johnny’s hand and did not dare to get close.

They appeared. The ghosts that had been floating on the river that night finally appeared at the moment when Zhenya was transferred. This was another debt that Zhenya had to bear.

Uncle Johnny completely ignored these things, and only looked at the red flower in his hand and said gently, “Yingya, his feelings for you have proven to be true after so many years. No matter what, say goodbye to him. And those innocent people… I think you should also go and untangle them, even though that wasn’t your intention.”

The raindrops fell one by one on the red flower, as if kissing and hugging it for the last time. The flower, which had been uprooted, began to tremble slightly.

The fog all rushed towards the rock, and in the midst of the fog, the red flower fell from Uncle Johnny’s hand. At the moment it hit the ground, we saw the shadow of a woman appear indistinctly in the fog.

Is that the story of Dia? I couldn’t help but pay attention. After listening to the story for so long, I felt as if I knew her very well. Her appearance also foreshadowed her final ending. How could I not pay attention? Although there was a little sadness in this attention.

The fog slowly faded away the moment Diao Ya appeared, and the rain became more violent. The faint red color in the rain seemed to have become more intense. In the deep pool, the ghosts in the fog began to cry and scream in unison. They had a confused fascination and deep fear in their eyes, and they wanted to hide on the surface of the deep pool, but they were imprisoned by the power and could not escape.

Finally, the figure of Yiya was completely clear in this world. Although she had the illusory feeling inherent in a spirit, she could not hide her beauty.

The first time I saw her, I couldn’t help but sigh in my heart. No wonder Uncle Johnny used so many beautiful words to describe her. She was so beautiful, with ivory skin, a graceful figure, enchanting eyes that flashed with sadness, a tall and delicate nose, rosy lips, and a perfect face.

This is a girl who will drive men crazy, but she also has a silly, simple and innocent temperament… or perhaps it is this simplicity and innocence that determines her tragedy.

After she appeared, she first gave Uncle Johnny a deep look, then took a step forward, perhaps wanting to throw herself into Uncle Johnny’s arms like she did in the past.

Unfortunately, the distance between the two worlds was too great for her to do so, so her eyes became even more sad. She looked at Uncle Johnny, and she didn’t know what she was saying to him in her mind. Uncle Johnny’s tears kept falling, and he couldn’t help covering his face and whispering, “Dengya, no, I have always loved you.”

Facing Uncle Johnny’s confession, Zhenya smiled, a smile like a blooming flower. She looked at Uncle Johnny for a moment, then slowly walked towards the edge of the rock.

At this time, the wind also stopped, and the deep pool, which had been slightly fluctuating, became strangely quiet, except that the rain was falling harder.

Yingya stopped at the edge of the rock, then slowly sat down, and finally spoke softly… without avoiding the thoughts of each of us.
