"Is this really fate playing tricks?"
After hearing the report from his professional secret agent, Little Hongtang, Hu Ma couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
The commotion up ahead involved someone he knew.
Previously, to learn the entry-level Shousui dharma method from Shopkeeper Wu Hong, he had taken a job in Yellow Dog Village persuading the evil spirit in the well to move. After completing the task, he hadn't given it much thought.
After the evil spirit in the well moved, she had indeed become more peaceful. She was solely focused on watching for her unfaithful lover and had little interest in others.
Hu Ma had persuaded her to move by promising to relocate her beside the main road, so if her unfaithful lover returned, he would see her at a glance.
Strictly speaking, though, this was merely a way to fool a ghost. Who would have thought she would actually keep watch?
