God's Gift

Yu Youyou stood on tiptoe to take a look, then pulled Lu Keming into the crowd. In the circle formed by the crowd, she bent down, stretched her head and kept squeezing in.

Lu Keming was also pulled forward by her, but his situation was not as good as Yu Youyou. He was much taller than Yu Youyou, and it was difficult for him to squeeze in a crowd. After walking like this, his clothes were messed up and the veil on his face almost fell off.

He took off the veil on his face, took a deep breath, looked at the agile Yu Youyou, and squeezed into the inner circle of the crowd, and saw the man in cloth lying on the ground.

The man was covered in blood, his arms were torn apart, and his internal organs were emptied. Because this place was remote, the body was surrounded by mosquitoes when it was found, which made people feel sick. There were a few whispers from the crowd.

"It seems like he was killed by some animal."

"It's not a wolf, is it?"

"It doesn't look like that. It should be a bigger beast, maybe a tiger..."

As soon as these words were spoken, the onlookers started to make a noise, and an atmosphere of panic spread among the crowd.

"How come wild beasts entered Gusu City?"

Yu Youyou looked at the unrecognizable corpse on the ground, touched her lips, and looked up to the opposite side, but she happened to be looking at a woman in front of her.

"A-Li?" Yu Youyou smiled when she saw her and waved to her happily, "You are here too?"

Ali had never expected to see the girl who had mistakenly entered the ghostland two years ago here. He was just looking at her, but he never thought that she actually remembered who she was.

She had clearly cast a spell on Youyou, and Youyou should have forgotten everything about the ghost realm once she left, but she still had memories.

There was a hint of fierceness in Ali's eyes, but he suddenly saw Lu Keming behind Yu Youyou, and their eyes met in the air. Lu Keming looked at the nails that had turned into the sides of Ali's body, and there was a hint of warning in his eyes.

After Ali was stunned for a second, there was a bit of astonishment in his eyes, and he looked back at Yu Youyou.

This girl really does what she says. She was just talking about the other monster in the city, so how did Yu Youyou really run into it?

While Lu Keming and A Li were fighting secretly, Yu Youyou was still smiling happily at A Li. A Li looked at Yu Youyou's carefree smile, pursed his lips and looked away.

Lu Keming then withdrew his gaze from A Li and glanced down at Yu Youyou who was standing in front of him. Her hair was shining in the sun, and the golden hairpin was also sparkling.

“Please make way…”

At this time, a man wearing a green Taoist robe, cloth shoes, and long hair neatly combed and fixed with a wooden hairpin walked into the crowd, came to the corpse, squatted down, looked at the corpse carefully for a while, and said:

"This man was indeed killed by a tiger, but there is ghost energy left on his body."

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people around changed. They looked at the Taoist priest and shouted, "Master! You must catch the evil ghost who did this!"

Taoist priest?

Yu Youyou looked at the handsome and elegant Taoist priest with a bit more doubt in her eyes and stared at him curiously.

Brother Minghua has become a Taoist priest?

Yu Youyou glanced at Shen Minghua, then looked at the expressionless A Li, and then looked at Shen Minghua on the ground again. Her gaze went back and forth several times, and even A Li, who was standing opposite her, frowned and glanced at Yu Youyou.

Yu Youyou immediately withdrew her gaze and thought to herself, it seems that A-Li and Brother Minghua don’t know each other at all now.

Lu Keming looked at Yu Youyou's gaze towards the Taoist priest on the ground. He lowered the corners of his eyes, narrowed them, and looked at the Taoist priest on the ground with scrutiny.

After checking the body, the Taoist priest who looked exactly like Shen Minghua looked up at everyone and said, "I am from Mount Mao, and I learned from Taoist Priest Zhengqing. My Taoist name is Minghua. You can call me Taoist Priest Minghua."

"Do you know the deceased's name, where he lives, and whether he has any relatives at home?"

After hearing the question from Taoist Master Minghua, a man stepped out from the back of the crowd and said hesitantly, "This seems to be Zhang Zhining. He lives on Chengqi Street nearby. His mother is still alive. His father was eaten by a tiger in the Black Mountain outside the city a year ago. Only a few bones and clothes are left."

"Eated by a tiger..." Taoist Master Minghua looked at the corpse on the ground, his expression became a little serious, and said:

"It seems that the evildoers are doing evil."

"Ghost?" After hearing what Taoist Minghua said, the people who were surrounding him started talking again.

Yu Youyou looked at Taoist Minghua and explained, "People who are eaten by tigers do not seek revenge on the tigers that ate them. Instead, they become the tiger's servants and lure people to be eaten by the tigers, making them scapegoats."

"This little girl is right. A ghost is a vicious ghost." Minghua smiled gently after hearing Yu Youyou's explanation. Then he seemed to be puzzled and asked, "Has anyone else in this city been eaten by a tiger within the past year?"

After Minghua asked this question, a clear voice came from behind, and as the crowd moved aside, Fang Ling walked out.

"Not only in the past year, but also in the past ten years, there has been no incident of civilians being eaten by wild beasts in the city. Gusu has good public security, and tigers cannot easily enter the city."

When everyone saw Fang Ling, they greeted him.

"Mr. Fang, you are here too."

Someone else introduced him to Taoist Minghua: "This is my Gusu City Lord's son, Fang Ling."

When Taoist Master Minghua saw Fang Ling, he stood up from the ground without being servile or arrogant, bowed to Fang Ling, and said:

"Thank you, Master Fang, for clearing up my confusion."

"Since Zhang Zhining's biological father was eaten by a tiger, then his father must have turned into a ghost and lured him to this remote alley, where he was eaten by the tiger and became his own scapegoat."

"How could this be possible!" After hearing Minghua's words, the crowd raised their voices in surprise. "Even a tiger won't eat its own cubs, so how could he, a man who died unjustly, kill his own son with his own hands in order to be reincarnated?"

Taoist Priest Minghua nodded and replied, "That's right. Among all the ghosts, the accomplices are known as the most vicious and miserable ghosts."

"It's so vicious, Taoist Minghua must help us catch this evil ghost!"

Taoist Priest Minghua nodded gently and replied: "This is my duty when I go down the mountain to gain experience, but I need to find Zhang Zhining's mother to prevent her from being seduced by the ghost transformed by Zhang Zhining."

"Okay, we'll lead the way for the Taoist priest now!"

Ali watched the whole process, glanced at the Taoist Minghua who was dressed simply, his eyes were a little distracted, and he walked out with boredom.

But he is just a little Taoist priest.

"Wait a minute." When Ali was about to leave, Taoist Minghua stopped everyone and said abruptly:

"There is a demon among the crowd. I need to catch it before I exorcise the demon."
