Shen Xiu'er glanced at the gym teacher with a strange look and comforted him, "Teacher, you don't need to be afraid. These are all spiritual bodies, they can't harm you."
The gym teacher, who was always determined to be strong: "......I... I'm not afraid! How could I be afraid! It's okay, the rain is heavier now, we'll leave later. Shen classmate, you do your thing, the teacher will wait for you here."
As he spoke, the gym teacher swallowed hard, extended his arms in warm-up exercises, and looked at the sky and the ground, but he just didn't look at the ghosts filling the room.
Shen Xiu'er's mouth twitched at the gym teacher's actions. After looking away, she turned to the ghosts in front of her, "This building will be demolished in two months. It's not good for you to just linger like this. I'll help you pass on."
This caused a stir.
When the ghosts heard Shen Xiu'er's words and thought they would finally stop wandering in the mortal world, they were so excited that tears streamed down their faces, and they all thanked Shen Xiu'er.
Hearing the wailing sounds around him, the gym teacher got goosebumps and instinctively clasped his hands together, chanting "Namo Amitabha Buddha"...
Shen Xiu'er found a piece of cardboard to cushion the ground, sat down cross-legged, and began to help the ghosts in front of her pass on.
Since these ghosts had no grudges, Shen Xiu'er's ritual was very successful.
Watching the ghosts in the room disappear one by one, the gym teacher felt like he was in some special effects movie. His expression became even more fantastical. He had never imagined in his life that he would witness such a scene.
After the last ghost disappeared, the gym teacher felt that the entire room had become much warmer.
"Where... where did they go?"
Shen Xiu'er opened her eyes and looked at the gym teacher, "They went to reincarnate."
Hearing this, the gym teacher scanned his surroundings and asked nervously, "Are there any more?"
Amused by the gym teacher's nervous demeanor, Shen Xiu'er let out a laugh, "No more. Teacher, so you're afraid of ghosts."
The gym teacher, upon hearing that there were no more ghosts, breathed a sigh of relief. He coughed a couple of times to cover up his reaction, trying to regain his composure, "Cough, cough, cough! How could I be! Those were all people. How could I be afraid!"
Shen Xiu'er nodded, suppressing her smile.
Not long after, the rain outside gradually stopped.
Seeing this, the gym teacher was so excited he almost burst into tears. Damn it, the rain finally stopped!
"Shen classmate, it's getting late, let's go back quickly!"
Shen Xiu'er nodded.
So, the two walked out of the building and headed towards the teaching building.
Along the way, the gym teacher couldn't help his curiosity and asked, "Shen classmate, does your Maoshan sect still accept disciples?"
"???" What Maoshan?
Shen Xiu'er looked at the gym teacher with confusion, "What do you mean?"
"Aren't you from Maoshan?"
Shen Xiu'er shook her head, understood, and looked at the gym teacher with a strange expression, wanting to say something but stopping, "Teacher, have you been reading too many novels?"
The gym teacher: "......" (￣_￣|||)
Seeing the gym teacher speechless, Shen Xiu'er smiled and said, "I'm not from Maoshan. My Taoist skills were taught to me by my grandfather and sister."
"Then does your grandfather accept disciples?"
Shen Xiu'er: "My grandfather... passed away..."
The gym teacher: "......I'm sorry, Shen classmate, I brought up your sad memory." The gym teacher paused and continued, "Then your sister? Does she accept disciples?"
Shen Xiu'er: "My sister... also passed away..."
The gym teacher: "......" Oh, this...
The two fell silent for a moment. When they were almost at the teaching building, the gym teacher looked at the talismans in his hand and said somewhat sheepishly, "Shen classmate, could you give these talismans to me?"
Shen Xiu'er heard this, glanced at the talismans, and said indifferently, "If you want these, please take them." She had plenty more anyway.
"Thank you, Shen classmate, then."
After they parted, Shen Xiu'er returned to her classroom to continue her evening study.
