Chapter 416 - The Whiteclothed Girl Where Did the Problem Come From?

It was the height of summer, and today's stillness, absent of wind or rain, lent an unusual chill to the air. Old Master had brought him here, and something told him it wasn't for a simple reason.

Old Master gazed at the well house with a grave look before speaking. “Hao Hao, do you remember what happened to Wen Bin here, ten years ago?”

Jiang Hao nodded in response. “I remember.”

Without further inquiry, Old Master continued. “This well is ancient; it's been here since the days of Jiang Village. During a war last century, the village was caught in the crossfire. A young girl, after being dishonored by the enemy, leapt into this well. Since then, the well took on a sinister air, as if cursed. Every couple of years, someone would jump in. People sensed something was amiss, so they called in some mystics to investigate. A Daoist priest declared an unclean presence here. He performed a ritual and had a room built over the well to keep people out. He plastered the inside with talismans. Only then did the well settle down. When Wen Bin's incident occurred, it was that priest's disciple who came to handle it.”

After recounting the tale, Old Master shared his belief. “I've always approached the supernatural with a sense of awe and respect.”

He then turned to Jiang Hao, continuing his story. “Three days ago, your Fourth Uncle and the others were out working the fields until dusk. They hadn't returned, and your grandmother grew worried, sending me to check on them. As I went to find your uncle, I caught sight of a girl in white. She noticed me, turned, and fixed her gaze on mine. I can't explain why, but it filled me with unease. Then, she began walking this way. In a daze, I found myself following her here. I watched her glide into the well house, and a jolt of fear snapped me out of it. In a panic, I unleashed my martial cultivator's energy, vigilant of my surroundings.”

It was only then that I realized I had made my way here without even noticing.

Thinking back to the previous events sent a shiver down my spine, and I hurried home.

The following night, as I slept, I was jolted awake by the sensation of being watched. Peering through my eyelids, I caught a glimpse of a shadow passing by the window.

I chose not to wake your grandmother and went outside alone, only to encounter the white-clothed girl once more!

This time, I was on high alert, preemptively channeling the qi and blood of a martial cultivator. She seemed wary, yet there was a longing in her demeanor.

When she lunged at me, I threw a punch but hit nothing but air!

That's when I felt it—my qi and blood were sluggish, as if blocked, almost as if I had been encased in ice!

Chilled to the bone, I maintained my vigilance until the first light of dawn, but he never showed again.

“I suspect she might return tonight, which is why I called you first thing in the morning. I want you, along with Third Uncle and Fourth Uncle, to leave this place with me.”

Jiang Hao was brimming with questions after hearing the entire account.

“Why did she seek out Grandfather alone?”

“And what exactly about Grandfather is drawing her in?”

Moreover, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has only just begun to replenish, so we should be dealing with minor spirits, right?

“But from what Grandfather described, could this ghost have existed before the resurgence of the spiritual energy?”

“And to think, that extraordinary Daoist possesses such remarkable skills?”
