Gu Zhisang’s gaze has a hidden power that is convincing.
Her expression was plain, and her eyes were watery, but few people could keep looking at her like this. Miss Liu was only looked at for a few seconds, and a sense of nervousness and guilt arose in her heart.
Although she didn’t understand what “Nian Gui” meant, she could understand the meaning of Gu Zhisang’s words.
The overly young and stunning master of metaphysics in front of her said that the reason why her dead ex-boyfriend Xiao Jiang turned into a ghost and did not leave the human world was because of herself.
Miss Liu retorted loudly: “I didn’t! I have no idea what you are talking about!”
At this time, Host Liu, on the side, asked the most controversial and curious question from the chaotic barrage among all netizens:
“Sangsang, is the ‘Nian Gui’ you are talking about, Mr. Jiang? What does this mean?”
Gu Zhisang glanced at him and explained calmly:
“‘Niangui’ does not exist in the Chinese Hundred Ghosts Illustrated Book. It is more of an urban legend that has been circulated. This is because the conditions for the formation of ghosts are harsh, and the method is special. For thousands of years, the number of such ghosts that can exist in the world has been very small, and almost no one has seen them before. Even if someone sees it, it’s easy to confuse it with an ordinary ghost and kill it wantonly.”
When she said this, she seemed to have foreseen the doubts that would be raised by the gossip in the comment area, and smiled slightly and looked at the camera:
“I’m talking about people who are incompetent, which naturally does not include me.”
The moment she finished speaking, a new comment jumped out: [No one has seen it before. How you can tell you are better than all the other masters?]
The audience in the live broadcast room was dazzled by the rare smile:
[Damn it, this woman has such a big mouth, but I believe what she says!]
[So crazy and confident, I like it so much. Haha, I’ve long been annoyed by those comments that are arguing every day. If you don’t believe in the existence of metaphysics and don’t like Sangsang, don’t watch the show. But you come here and disrupt the trend of the live broadcast!]
[LOL. Sangsang predicted the attack of the black fans.]
Gu Zhisang didn’t know the excitement in the comment area. She gave a rough explanation of the ‘Nian Gui’ that she had seen in the classics in her previous life.
“To put it simply, the formation of this kind of ghost is more like the ‘Word Spirit’ that appeared in the previous program. The only difference, is the ‘Word Spirit’ is mostly fabricated by people, but the former is a real undead spirit.”
Gu Zhisang said: “It is a special soul transformed from the strong emotions, language, obsessions, etc. of a living person.”
The story of a mystic master has been recorded in the classics.
About 1,300 years ago, a powerful mystic master lost his beloved wife. Seeing his wife’s body gradually turning cold and her soul about to enter reincarnation, his intense sadness and reluctance turned into a powerful force. This power force allowed his wife’s soul, which was supposed to enter the six realms of reincarnation, to condense into an entity and turn into a ghost that can stay in the human world.
In other words, the formation of this kind of special ghost was not because of their original intention, but because the longing and reluctance of the living were too twisted and strong, which forcibly detains them in the human world and cannot be reincarnated.
When Gu Zhisang said this, Miss Liu looked confused, but her voice continued:
“Back then, this man died in the fire because he was trying to save your parents, so you have been in pain and blaming yourself. I can see that your relationship was indeed very good. If it hadn’t been for this accident, you would have been perfect for each other. And this is also the reason you fell into grief for a long time and couldn’t accept the outcome.”
“You have stroked his photo more than once, wishing that time could go back to that night, and you’ll make a different choice, which could make your lover stay around.”
“You don’t know that it is right next to you at those times.”
Miss Liu burst into tears, shook her head, and murmured: “I, I don’t know…”
She never knew that missing the dead could turn into this.
What makes her even more devastated is that, if what Gu Zhisang said was true, then not only did she kill her ex-boyfriend, but she also made him unable to rest in peace or be reincarnated after his death!
Host Liu looked sad and said with emotion:
“It turns out that it’s not Mr. Jiang’s spirit who wants to stay, but Miss Liu’s obsession is so deep that she forcibly binds him to her side!”
Gu Zhisang: “It’s not accurate to say that.”
She fixedly looked at the ‘Nian Gui’ beside Miss Liu and said: “No matter how deep an ordinary person’s obsession is, it will be difficult to change the quality of the soul of the undead, otherwise the world of the dead would be full of ‘Nian Gui’ now.”
After saying this, she turned her eyes to Miss Liu again, “I saw such a scene from its soul.”
On a slightly blurry drizzle day, Xiao Jiang’s body was nailed into the coffin, surrounded by the whimpering sounds of his parents’ collapse.
His soul should have returned to the underworld, but he was unable to enter the ghost gate because of his girlfriend’s obsession. At the same time, he was also tied to an invisible link and could only move around his girlfriend.
These days, he can only watch his girlfriend’s sluggishness and constant weight loss, watching her huddle in a dark room and caressing her photos over and over again, saying she’s sorry in her dreams.
It was in pain to watch, but he couldn’t do anything about it.
At the funeral, he saw his girlfriend and her parents bowing constantly, telling her parents that she would take responsibility, live as a widow, and support them until their old age.
After the funeral, his girlfriend broke down and cried. With red eyes, she told her parents: ‘Dad, Mom, I may not be able to fall in love with someone else and marry another person in the future.’
Her parents said anxiously: ‘I know our family is sorry for Xiao Jiang and his family, but, you can’t let yourself be stuck with it for the rest of your life!’
She just smiled bitterly and said nothing. Finally, the two old men sighed and patted their thighs, “Forget it, if you thought about it, we won’t stop you. We only blame ourselves for doing evil and harming such a good child!”
It was precisely because of what Miss Liu said that Xiao Jiang gave up his resistance.
If Miss Liu was left alone until the end of her life because of his death, then he doesn’t want to be reincarnated. He might as well stay with Miss Liu silently.
He allowed Miss Liu’s obsession and guilt to burrow into his soul like a snake, turning it completely into a mind ghost. From then on, he could only follow Miss Liu’s side and become an invisible shadow.
Gu Zhisang sighed softly and said: “I can only say that he made the final choice, but he overestimated the human heart.”
Human beings have always been fickle animals, which is very normal and somewhat cruel.
The meaning of Xiao Jiang’s long-term existence as a “Nian Gui” was only Miss Liu, but Miss Liu will meet many more people.
