Chapter 80 She’s back

What is the truth? The truth is that no matter whether you admit it or not, it is always there and will not change. So when Shen Xing’s body was rolled out covered in a white sheet, I had a dazed feeling, feeling as if I was dreaming. After I woke up, Shen Xing was still there, just as she was when she was with us, flipping through a book.

I was sad, after all, I considered Shen Xing a friend, and friends are not defined by time.

Just as I consider Shengge a friend, and the time we actually spent together was not much, he was just a friend in my heart when I was still a young teenager, a little lonely.

So, how could I not be sad when I saw this? You know, after you mature, it’s even harder to make a new friend, but this friend is gone so quickly…

The nurse asked me if I was a family member of the deceased. I was a little overwhelmed, and it wasn’t until the nurse repeatedly asked me to notify the family that I realized I couldn’t be distracted. Shen Xing still had so many things to take care of, and I had to hold on.

Brother Chengxin, who was sitting in a chair that I had helped him to sit in, was already in a state of semi-consciousness.

Love is always more intense than other feelings, and losing a loved one is always more painful.

I called Master Liu’s phone, but perhaps he was slow to respond, it rang for a long time before he answered. Over there, someone was about to take Shen Xing to the morgue, and Brother Cheng Xin stood up to stop them. He lifted the white sheet and looked at Shen Xing’s face, and tears finally flowed.

I didn’t stop Chengxin’s seemingly crazy behavior because emotions always need to be vented.

The phone was connected, and I walked over to Liu and whispered, “Liu, something happened to Shen Xing. We need to notify her family.” I couldn’t bring myself to say the word “death,” and I always felt that the word “death” shouldn’t be associated with my friends.

Although I have to accept this fact!

But Master Liu was much calmer than I expected. His voice came from the other side of the phone, very calm. He said, “I know, she’s dead.”

This is a positive sentence, not even a question!

My heart suddenly became suspicious. Did Master Liu know that Shen Xing would die? Thinking about this, my tone could not help but become irritable. If he knew that Shen Xing would die, why didn’t he stop it? I knew that my tone was very rude, so I yelled in a low voice, “How did you know? If you knew, why didn’t you stop it? You owe a life!”

Master Liu was not angry, and remained calm. He said, “People like me don’t do things that will cause us to lose out. Would I owe Shen Xing a life? This girl… this girl is very good. For this reason alone, I wouldn’t let her die. It’s just that she’s too smart. She fooled everyone.”

“How do you know?” I asked, my tone a little calmer.

Because she came back, and there are things here that she cares about and that she can’t let go of for the rest of her life. Master Liu’s tone was calm, and he continued, “After you’ve taken care of things at the hospital, come back and see her. She has no relatives.”

After that, Master Liu hung up the phone. I looked at the phone in a daze, not knowing what to feel. Shen Xing was dead and had gone back. As a Taoist priest, I shouldn’t have been surprised, I should have been very calm, but I just felt strange.

Because the dead cannot disturb the peace, let alone summon the soul, unless they don’t want to leave. Did Shen Xing not want to leave?

My heart was a little confused, but there was still a pile of things waiting for me to deal with! And the most urgent task was that I had to tell Brother Chengxin the news…

It is a very sad thing to have no relatives. Two days later, when I and Chengxin finished dealing with the funeral arrangements for Shen Xing, it was drizzling.

The people who came to say goodbye were a few friends of Shen Xing that we had finally managed to contact. In front of this desolate tombstone, it seemed a bit lonely.

But Shen Xing was lucky, at least I could feel that everyone who came to say goodbye to her was truly sad.

On the way down the mountain, I asked Chengxin, “Did you take care of the police station?”

Because Shen Xing died in an unnatural way and no relatives came, this situation would certainly arouse suspicion. A kind doctor reported the case to the police, and as the last person who had a relationship with Shen Xing, Cheng Xin was naturally taken in for questioning.

Cheng Xin said to me in a low voice, “Qin Huai went out and found some people, and it was quickly settled. The funeral is also over, so Shen Xing should meet with me again.”

“Mm,” I nodded and whispered.

This is where the strangeness lies. We had just finished the funeral for Shen Xing, and now we were going to meet her again. It felt very strange…

In fact, that night, Brother Chengxin rushed to Master Liu’s place very excitedly, wanting to see Shen Xing. He wanted to ask Shen Xing in person why she chose to die? Or commit suicide! He wanted to ask Shen Xing if she liked him.

I don’t think it’s a good idea for Chengxin to ask Shen Xing if she likes him. The person is already gone, and knowing it doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a good thing.

But Cheng Xin still went, and the answer he got was that after the funeral, Shen Xing would naturally meet him.

This sentence is the driving force that has supported Chengxin to this day.

Looking at the drizzle in the sky, I was actually very worried about the state of Brother Chengxin. After all, he was a medical student, so he was less worried about contacting the dead. He didn’t have the awareness to completely distinguish between people and the dead. It was simply impossible for him to connect the living and the dead. He understood that the distance between the living and the dead was the farthest!

I’m afraid he’ll treat Shen Xing’s ghost as Shen Xing’s life, which is extremely irrational and bad for him and Shen Xing!

Qin Huai was waiting for me and Brother Chengxin by the car at the foot of the mountain. The reason he didn’t go up to pay his respects in person was because he didn’t know Shen Xing well, and basically didn’t know him, so it was difficult to talk about the kind of feeling of nostalgia. He said he didn’t want to be hypocritical, and that was a pretty strong reason.

When he saw me and Chengxin come down, Qinhuai took us away, heading straight for Master Liu’s home.

In the car, I told Qin Huai to go back to Beijing first. He had been running around with us for the past two days and was exhausted. Qin Huai nodded and agreed, but still said with a worried look that I should stay with Cheng Xin Ge more often.

After taking us to Master Liu’s home, Qin Huai left. It was still in the dark little room of Master Liu. Cheng Xin Ge was almost impatiently urging Master Liu to see Shen Xing.

But Master Liu ignored Brother Chengxin and said to me, “Who are you going to call to help Shen Xing? She committed suicide, and I can see that her soul is full of grievances!”

Yes, Taoist priests are all capable of this. They can tell whether a spirit is burdened by evil karma. The heavier the evil karma, the heavier the black resentment surrounding the spirit. What’s more, the resentment can form a chain-like shape, locking the spirit and preventing it from reincarnating. It can only be consumed in this world until the spirit is scattered, which can be described as the most cruel torture.

However, there is a difference between black resentment and red hostility. Only the spiritual body with red light will be full of aggression! Therefore, it is not true that a spiritual body with black resentment is a ghost.

The question raised by Master Liu is indeed a very difficult problem. If someone commits suicide, only a high monk can resolve their resentment. If they carry their resentment, even if they enter the cycle of reincarnation, they will still suffer in their next life. It is like how many people you owe in this life, so many people will owe you in the next life.

Facing Master Liu’s question, I said, “Don’t worry, I’ve already notified someone. Shen Xing’s soul will be liberated before the seventh day after her death.”

Next to him, Brother Chengxin asked me in a confused state, “Chengyi, transcendence! Does that mean that Shen Xing won’t be around for a few more days?”

I looked at Chengxin brother with some dissatisfaction: “What do you mean? Do you want to live with Shen Xing’s soul for all eternity? Or do you want her to stay with you for all eternity? Chengxin brother, although you are not from the Shan family, you are at least from the Li family. Don’t you understand a truth? After death, all grudges are gone. At least the grudges with her in this life are gone. What happens in the next life is a matter for the next life! What else do you want?”

I was a bit harsh in my words, but this is what I was most worried about, and I had to remind Brother Chengxin.

When I confronted him with my questions, Chengxin looked at Master Liu and said, “When can I see Shen Xing again?”

For the second time, Master Liu ignored Brother Chengxin and said, “Chengyi, you’re right. When someone dies, all grudges are forgotten. You can’t blame your brother. He fell in love with Shen Xing, perhaps because they are the same kind of person?”

The same kind of person?
