N-A-A Chapter 1937 is about a female ghost.
Chapter 1937 is about a female ghost.
Lu Zhaoling chuckled softly as she finished speaking.
"However, it now seems that the female ghost really didn't intend to take his life."
“Third Master Meng, you also went to the mass grave with us. Although you didn’t see everything that happened there, you know the general situation.”
Master Meng nodded.
That's true.
"If Wuyou is really a person, a young girl, what kind of girl do you think would have the courage to go to a mass grave to find her relatives by herself? At least she would have two people accompany her, right?"
She paused for a moment, then added, "Of course, I'm an exception. I might go alone; I don't need anyone to accompany me."
Zhou Shiyue burst out laughing.
"Well, you can't be considered a normal girl."
Lu Zhaoling rolled her eyes at him. Who's abnormal?
Master Meng quickly said, "The Princess Consort is highly skilled and daring, naturally she has nothing to fear. But other girls are indeed unlikely to have that kind of courage. However, Meng Si didn't say that Wuyou also knows mystical arts..."
"Tsk, Third Master Meng, didn't I just tell you? Don't take any chances. She's just a female ghost, what kind of mystical arts could she possibly have?"
Lu Zhaoling shook her head and sighed.
"There is no mystical art that can communicate through a portrait. Otherwise, with my powerful mystical arts, if I painted a portrait of my prince and let him take it with him wherever he goes, wouldn't we be able to talk all the time and even meet in dreams?"
Zhou Shiyue glanced at her sideways, "That's true, Your Highness, don't you have the ability?"
"I really don't have that ability, and neither does my master," Lu Zhaoling shook her head.
Master Meng opened his mouth, but for a moment he was speechless.
Indeed, who is that amazing?
"Besides, even if the other party has that ability, why would they give that painting to Meng Si? They only met once, and it was on the way. They didn't know anything about each other, yet they gave him such a portrait and were going to play telepathy with him every day? Strangers suddenly become so easy to talk to? Do you think you would do that in your situation?"
Master Meng shook his head.
He will not.
"If it really is just a matter of transmitting voice through a portrait, why didn't Meng Si reveal a single word about something so interesting to you before?"
Ah, this...
"One more thing I can confirm with you is that his complexion was already off when he went out earlier. Even my guards who haven't been exposed to mystical arts for long could tell. Do you think he would have looked like that if it weren't because he saw a ghost?"
Lu Zhaoling pointed at Zhou Shiyue, "Having spent so much time with someone from the Xuanmen sect like me, do you think my lord would become weak and look unwell?"
Zhou Shiyue sat up straight.
"No, my health has been excellent since I started being with the Queen."
His life was saved by Lu Zhaoling.
Even after encountering a female ghost like that, Meng Si still wants to try and gain fame from the Xuanmen sect?
Could that person be someone who knows mystical arts?
“As for the scripture,” Lu Zhaoling said again, “I believe that Wuyou taught him it. This brings us back to what I said before: the female ghost didn’t want his life, so she taught him the scripture so that he could save his life in the face of death.”
"But what kind of dangers usually require reciting scriptures? Shouldn't the usual dangers involve running away, calling for help, or getting a weapon for self-defense?"
What kind of dangers require reciting scriptures to save one's life?
Master Meng's eyes widened immediately.
It's like a ghost! It's like being possessed!
Isn't it only in such dangers that we need to chant sutras?
He understood instantly and began to believe Lu Zhaoling.
Indeed, they hadn't thought it through before, but now that they have, they understand.
Therefore, the female ghost actually knew that Meng Si would encounter some evil spirits, which is why she taught him that scripture so that he could save his life.
They already knew beforehand.
Although the female ghost didn't want Meng Si's life, she probably knew that she wanted his soul.
Master Meng's expression turned serious.
"Your Highness, Meng Si keeps saying that the portrait concerns Wuyou, uh, the safety of that female ghost..."
"I guess it's because the female ghost told him that if the portrait fell into someone else's hands, she would be exposed and might be in danger. Also, the fact that the female ghost left the portrait with Meng Si does have one purpose: if she encounters any emergency, she can instantly return to the portrait."
"The portrait is in Meng Si's hands, which means that if she is in danger, she can immediately return to Meng Si's side and leave the dangerous place. This is a way to escape. Meng Si is blessed with auspicious stars, just like some people say that he is born with the star of literature and talent. It is beneficial to have the portrait painted on him."
This might be why the female ghost chose Meng Si.
Moreover, there was something Lu Zhaoling didn't say.
Meng Si has an extremely noble destiny and will become a high-ranking official in the future. If we establish a good relationship with him now, the female ghost will be protected by a civil official and will be able to become a protected household ghost instead of a wild ghost.
For some wandering ghosts, this is a much-anticipated outcome.
That female ghost probably also wanted to take this path.
Looking further ahead, if she can continue her cultivation in the Meng family in the future, and when a suitable opportunity arises and a suitable person is found with compatible birth charts, she will be able to use that person to possess another's body and be resurrected.
That way, her family background would also be prominent after she became a woman.
How wonderful!
However, Lu Zhaoling certainly wouldn't reveal Meng Si's fate yet, so she didn't tell Meng Sanye this.
Without saying these things, Master Meng was already extremely anxious.
"Your Highness, what should we do? Meng Si is convinced that it's a person and is waiting for him to rescue it."
“Let him be convinced,” Lu Zhaoling said. “He can’t see ghosts right now. Let him rest for a few days. I’ll let him see the female ghost in the painting with his own eyes then.”
Third Master Meng asked with some concern, "Your Highness, is it alright if we leave that painting with you?"
If it really is a female ghost, would they allow a ghost painting to remain in the palace?
Will this harm the prince and princess?
Master Meng looked at Zhou Shiyue again.
"My elder brother said he's a little worried about the Prince..."
He didn't finish his sentence, feeling a little embarrassed to continue.
However, he looked somewhat embarrassed, and Zhou Shiyue immediately understood what he meant.
"What, do you all think I'm some kind of easily fooled brat like Meng Si?"
Lu Zhaoling smiled as well.
Are they afraid that the female ghost will haunt Zhou Shiyue?
Meng Si is a promising talent, but the Prince of Jin is already a towering tree.
If that female ghost takes a liking to Zhou Shiyue, will she instead cling to him and abandon Meng Si?
“My elder brother said that yesterday he saw the prince seem quite interested in that painting,” Meng Sanye said, mustering his courage.
It turned out that Grandpa Meng had also seen Zhou Shiyue staring at the painting.
Zhou Shiyue: "..."
Lu Zhaoling raised an eyebrow and looked at him.
