Yan Aohan nodded. "Grandpa can finally see the light again."
Zhu Yanyi smiled softly. "Yes, forty years of waiting." She tilted her head, looking at Yan Aohan. "Aohan, do you think Grandpa knew he would meet me forty years later? That’s why he waited so long?"
"Do you think Grandpa can predict the future? Stop talking nonsense," Yan Aohan laughed and scolded her lightly. He then took Zhu Yanyi to a roast duck shop. They bought some duck and went home.
When they arrived, Xie Xinlian had already prepared the meal. Seeing them, she said directly, "The food is ready. I have already eaten my meals. Yuanxiang will come to pick me up soon. she and I will go relieve your father and grandmother. You two eat."
"Mom, I bought roast duck. Why don’t you take half? You can have it as a late-night snack with your brother-in-law," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile.
"Roast duck smells so good. Are you trying to make Grandpa jealous?" Xie Xinlian laughed and scolded her. "I brought some cold noodles for our late-night snack. Don’t worry about us."
"Okay, be careful," Zhu Yanyi said. Just then, Taishu Yuanxiang came in to pick up Xie Xinlian. "Mom, I’m here to get you."
Xie Xinlian nodded and left. Taishu Yuanxiang greeted Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi, then carried a food box instead of Xie Xinlian and left.
Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan were not disappointed. They took out the roast duck, served rice, and started eating.
After finishing their meal and cleaning up, about half an hour later, Zhu Shun Yao and Huang Meiying returned. They told them to eat and rest.
Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan said goodbye and went for a walk nearby.
Zhu Shun Yao and Huang Meiying went to their respective rooms to rest.
Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan walked out of the courtyard. The hot air hit them with a gust of wind.
The weather in the seventh lunar month was slowly cooling down, but that was for the late night. During the day, it was still very hot.
Yan Aohan held Zhu Yanyi’s hand, walking slowly nearby. Occasionally, one or two people passed by, but they hurried along and did not stop.
Probably because it was the time when the Hell Gate opened, most people had gone home early.
The temperature gradually cooled, which seemed to fit the normal temperature change in July.
Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan naturally noticed that more beings from other worlds appeared on the road, but no evil souls appeared.
Seeing that it was time, they did not stay long. They pretended not to see these things and slowly walked back to the courtyard.
Entering the courtyard, Zhu Yanyi suddenly noticed a locust tree that had appeared somewhere. A white shadow hung from the tree.
Yan Aohan’s figure was gone. Zhu Yanyi knew she had encountered an evil soul.
Zhu Yanyi was not afraid. She walked toward the locust tree and looked at the evil soul hanging there. "Isn’t it troublesome to hang like this? At least change to a thicker rope."
The evil soul hanging on the locust tree, whose eyes were originally oozing blood, suddenly opened them. The eyes were red, the face was white, and the eyeballs were red. It was indeed a bit eerie. However, Zhu Yanyi was not afraid at all. It looked at Zhu Yanyi. "Aren’t you afraid at all?"
Zhu Yanyi pursed her lips. "I want to be afraid, but you are not even as scary as a patient in my hospital who is about to have plastic surgery. At least try to look more terrifying. As an evil soul, I think you are very unprofessional." She looked at it with disdain. "Your face is not white enough, your eyes are not red enough, and your voice is not eerie enough. You are too unprofessional."
"Who is unprofessional? You are unprofessional!" The evil soul did not care about the wind blowing through its body, making it float back and forth. Its head remained hanging on the tree. With the wind, its body stretched and flattened alternately.
Zhu Yanyi sighed. "I just think you are not professional enough. But forget it. If you are not professional, then you are not professional. If you want to scare me, at least change your makeup. Your current makeup is not scary at all."
After speaking, Zhu Yanyi waved her hand. "It’s late at night. It’s time for people to sleep. Forget it. I’ll be kind and save you."
She spread her hand, and the Book of Humans appeared. "Heaven and earth, heaven and earth, humans separate. The Book of Heaven determines heaven, the Book of Earth suppresses earth, the Book of Humans saves humans. I am the Book of Humans, saving humans and souls. Souls return to their homeland, with clear meridians. In the next life, return to heaven and earth, clear and bright. Therefore, save all savable humans, save all savable souls. Souls return! Save souls!"
As the words fell, the evil soul did not even understand what was happening before it was sucked directly into the Book of Humans. A line of words appeared in the book: Judgment: Evil soul, enter the Hell of Wrongful Death.
Seeing this, Zhu Yanyi shrugged slightly and put it away. She found that a red seed had appeared in the air.
"Red spider lily." Yan Aohan had appeared without her knowing. At this moment, the locust tree that had appeared with the evil soul was also gone.
Zhu Yanyi smiled softly. "What kind of soul was that just now? Not professional at all."
"Hanging soul," Yan Aohan said with a smile. "In his previous life, he probably couldn’t bear it, so he hanged himself."
"No wonder she was judged to enter the Hell of Wrongful Death. You say life is so hard. If you don’t cherish it, why seek death? No wonder she was judged as an evil soul," Zhu Yanyi said. She had no good feelings for creatures who liked to escape, whether human or soul.
"By the way, was that old locust tree just now an illusion?" Zhu Yanyi asked curiously.
Yan Aohan nodded slightly. "This old locust tree is an illusion to you. For the evil soul, it is the place where he hanged himself and later where his soul resided." Yan Aohan said slowly. "Locust trees originally gather evil souls most easily. If someone hangs themselves on an old locust tree, most of them will become locust tree ghosts. The one just now was one of them."
Zhu Yanyi raised her eyebrows slightly upon hearing this. "For me, locust trees produce locust flowers. Locust flowers have the effects of cooling blood, stopping bleeding, clearing liver fire, and reducing inflammation. So I don’t know much about evil souls."
Yan Aohan laughed softly upon hearing this. "You are a doctor, so you naturally see things differently."
Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi blurted out, "Some people say that what you see depends on who you are. Because I am a doctor, the locust tree is just a plant that produces medicine for clearing liver fire and reducing inflammation. So, what is it to you?"
Yan Aohan raised his eyebrows slightly and asked Zhu Yanyi in return, "What do you think the locust tree is in my eyes?"
Zhu Yanyi tilted her head and looked at Yan Aohan. "It should be your soul container."
Yan Aohan smiled slightly, then laughed softly. "Smart girl."
Zhu Yanyi smiled. "Look at this red spider lily and this blue spider lily. One is red, one is blue. So beautiful." She took out the blue spider lily and played with it casually.
"Do you want to find a place to plant them?" Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi and asked.
