Xie Pinghuai chanted over and over again.
At that moment, Xie Qiao was fully focused on dealing with the vengeful spirit.
However, there seemed to be something wrong with it. She had initially thought that she should be multitasking, but she did not expect that the vengeful spirit would not attack her. Instead, it continued to knock and knock.
The sky was getting darker and darker. Those people were outside the stone wall, so Xie Qiao could not be seen at that moment.
Xie Qiao took out a suppressive talisman and the peach wood sword and struck at the vengeful spirit.
With a bang, it hit the vengeful spirit's body, burning a big hole.
The vengeful spirit lowered its head to look at the hole, then at her.
Subsequently, it suddenly picked up the big hammer. Clang!
In an instant, Xie Qiao felt her brain almost exploded!
"It's not right for that brat to disturb your forging. If you let him out, I'll burn some more money for you, alright?" Xie Qiao said in a low voice.
"Knock, Knock, knock..." he continued to knock.
Xie Qiao was furious.
She raised her head and looked at the sky. Then, she started to walk in the direction of the peach wood sword and the Seven Star Talisman.
"Heaven's secrets, Merak, Mizar... look at the southern dipper on the right and the seven stars on the left. It's clear and spiritual. Under my heart, the origin of chaos in Heaven and Earth. Hear my command!"
The peach wood sword in Xie Qiao's hand seemed to have transformed into tens of thousands of stars as it smashed toward the vengeful spirit with a crackling sound.
It directly smashed his furnace into pieces.
The vengeful spirit's body was also smashed several times, and it was riddled with injuries. Xie Qiao immediately acted as if she was about to engage in a great battle.
"It's broken... I can't knock it anymore, it's broken... Mother, the furnace is broken..." the vengeful spirit actually started crying directly.
Xie Qiao looked at him suspiciously.
The vengeful spirit's face was distorted, but when it started to cry, Xie Qiao realized that there was something wrong with its bone structure.
Was this... a retarded vengeful spirit?
At that moment, Xie Qiao felt a little embarrassed.
The spell earlier was very powerful.
She was afraid. Such a strong vengeful spirit was quite scary.
"Mother, the furnace is broken. The furnace is broken... I can't forge it anymore..." the vengeful spirit continued to cry.
Xie Qiao thought for a moment, "How about... I... compensate you one? How about this, you come with me, I'll put you away. When we get back, I'll carve a new furnace and burn it for you?"
"I need the furnace. I need to work, I need to work," the vengeful spirit repeated.
"It's done, it's done," Xie Qiao heaved a sigh of relief.
When the vengeful spirit heard that, it actually became obedient and did not look as fierce anymore.
Xie Qiao was secretly marveled. She hurriedly took out the yellow talisman to collect the vengeful spirit and chanted an incantation. Immediately, she captured the vengeful spirit!
It was actually very smooth!
Once the vengeful spirit was captured, the rest needed to be salvaged by humans. Xie Qiao got out to inform Xie Pinggang before the termite exterminators started to take action.
"Eldest Brother, the one living here is a silly vengeful spirit. He looks quite pitiful. I didn't spend much effort to capture him," Xie Qiao said.
Xie Pinggang nodded, "I asked around earlier. The one inside... was called Silly Mo. His brain hadn't been working well since he was young. He was bullied when he grew up. His parents were worried that he would starve to death in the future, so they brought him to learn how to forge iron. They built a big furnace at home for him to practice. He only knew how to hammer but not how to shape. His parents scolded him. For some reason, the hot iron hit his face and he died. After he died, his parents felt guilty and upset, so they committed suicide on the locust tree," Xie Pinggang explained.
Xie Qiao fell into silence for a while.
"No wonder he kept talking about knocking," Xie Qiao sighed.
He was a pitiful person.
Logically speaking, such a silly person should not be able to become a vengeful spirit.
Perhaps it was because after so many years, even though he was silly, he could understand. Everyone was rejecting and hating him, so unknowingly, it left a shadow in his heart.
After death, he was not reincarnated, and he even became a vengeful spirit for some reason.
