Chapter 51: It Was Homesick
However, Yun Qin was only thinking about relocating these little ghosts, but she wasn’t sure where to put them yet.
Seeing that the hidden ghost fell silent again, Yun Qin could only use her “Insight” ability on them, trying to understand their current thoughts.
The zombie worm family was relatively low in intelligence and they usually followed instructions from other ghosts. At this moment, their thoughts were only about feeding on evil energy and breeding.
The greedy ghost was like a pet. At this moment, its thoughts were filled with love and admiration for Yun Qin. However, the other half was filled with desires for evil energy and food. However, this was also in line with its characteristics as a greedy ghost.
As for the hidden ghost, when Yun Qin looked at its two little green eyes, Yun Qin felt a very unique emotion.
The hidden ghost always longed to live with its kind. In its consciousness, there was even a feeling of loneliness.
Yun Qin forgot that hidden ghosts lived in packs. Ever since Zhang Yuan, who the hidden ghost regarded as family, reincarnated, the hidden ghost once again developed a desire for companions and family.
“Do you want to go home?” Yun Qin lowered her head and asked.
As expected, the hidden ghost blinked its eyes and answered hesitantly, “Home.”
After learning this information, Yun Qin had a plan.
Originally, when she chose places to relocate the ghosts, she only considered whether the location for suitable for ghosts to live in, she did not consider other factors. Now that she knew that the hidden ghost wanted to find its own kind, she could choose a place based on the hidden ghost’s habits.
Based on the information from the ancient book and things she saw and heard from the underworld, Yun Qin decided on a place called Black Bear Ridge where she would relocate the ghosts. It was only a two-hour drive away from the capital.
The climate there was humid, and the land was covered with broad-leaf vegetation. Whether it was the environment or the lighting conditions, it was suitable for hidden ghosts to survive. There was also a high probability that her hidden ghost could find other hidden ghosts there.
Another key point was that the entire ridge was conducive to gathering evil energy. After a living creature dies, it would generate evil energy, which was easily absorbed into the land. Over time, the ridge became an area dense with evil energy.
A few decades ago, a huge accident happened at the mine in Black Bear Ridge and killed hundreds of miners. They died in vain so their souls were all trapped. In the following decades, nearby farmers kept claiming that they encountered evil and sinister things. After inviting countless masters who could not calm the restless souls, the farmers moved out of Black Bear Ridge.
Black Bear Ridge not only didn’t have disturbances from the living, but it also had a natural advantage in gathering evil energy. It was the most suitable place for ghosts to live and cultivate.
After making up her mind, Yun Qin immediately decided to leave. Since she was heading out, she would take care of everything that she needed to do.
After stuffing the little ghosts into an incense box, Yun Qin absorbed all the evil energy in the room and used it to wrap around the incense box. She did her best to ensure the safety of the little ghosts.
After that, Yun Qin changed into a set of elegant clothes. She tied her hair into a bun and secured it using a wooden hairpin. She also put on a black cotton face mask. Only her lively and aloof eyes were visible on her face. She did look like a Taoist master.
When Yun Qin arrived at the overpass that she casually pointed to the other day, she saw a group of old men and women gathered there discussing enthusiastically. Some of them even brought small stools over and sat comfortably while they chatted.
The overpass was a well-chosen location. Not only did people come and go, but it was also sheltered from the wind and rain. It was a suitable place to chat.
Just as Yun Qin was walking over, she heard people shout, “Master!”
Yun Qin muttered to herself that “master” was such an unpleasant title. However, it would be even more uncomfortable if the others called her Celestial Master Yun.
Anyway, she was a fake master. What other people called her did not affect her.
Seeing that everyone was starting to argue with each other again, Yun Qin raised her voice and comforted them, “If you have problems, please line up and tell me. There’s no need to rush.”
When it came to lining up, the aunties and uncles were very experienced. In a blink of an eye, people who needed answers lined up. There was even a group of onlookers outside.
Yun Qin was not blindly trying to pretend to be a master, she was trying to obtain information on ghosts.
Ghost-hunting was not a high-profile profession and Yun Qin could not go building by building to detect ghosts. So she felt that the most traditional method was the most effective: to make a name for herself and rely on her reputation to get work requests.
Moreover, most of the people who sought out Taoist masters were those who were likely already haunted by ghosts. If they sought her out, then Yun Qin could apply the appropriate methods and techniques to absorb the ghost.
