Madam Sheng San could never forget the day she died.

Every time she thinks about it, her soul still feels extremely painful.

"I don't know why. They say I have a different soul and can have two lives."

"After I died in the west wing, they pressed my body down and put it in an iron box. Half a month later, I don't know why I regained some consciousness."

"Then they came again, used a large candle, dug out my heart, and slowly boiled it over the candle."

"It hurts, it hurts so much. I don't feel anything but pain. But I can't get rid of it. It's just one day, two days, one month, one year."

“It took a whole year!”

Lu Zhaoling thought of the burnt spot in the attic. Maybe it was boiled there.

As for what kind of strange soul Madam Sheng San had, she could see that she just had a strong soul. This was also a kind of talent.

If alive, he would be a good candidate for practicing metaphysics or some magic.

Even if you die, if you have the opportunity, you can easily become a ghost cultivator.

I don’t know what evil nonsense the people who wanted to kill her heard, but they regarded her as an alien soul and did not allow her to reincarnate after her death.

"It hurts," Madam Sheng San held her heart. She was suddenly covered in blood in the bronze mirror. Her clothes were half-removed, revealing a large bloody hole in her heart. "My heart is gone. It hurts so much..."

Lu Zhaoling moved his finger.

"Don't look like that."

It doesn’t look good.

Just say it, there's no need to make yourself like this.

Madam Sheng San: “…”

Do you still have a heart?

Don't you feel sorry for her at all? Shouldn't you show some sympathy when you see her like this?

"So, who killed you?"

"Do you know Sheng Wang and Sheng Wei?"

This woman has been dead for decades. Sheng Wang is only middle-aged. Sheng Wei married Lu Shui, the youngest sister of the Lu family, so she should not be too old either.

So, they were not born yet when Madam Sheng San died.

Where did she hear this name?

"Back then, the head of the Sheng family asked someone to tell his fortune and he calculated a few names. He said that if a boy was born in the family, he must be given those names. Among them were Sheng Wang and Sheng Wei."

Madam Sheng San said, "If you only mentioned one of the names, it might be a coincidence. But since you mentioned both names, these two people must be the bloodline of our Sheng family."

Is there such a thing?

"Is your Sheng family very powerful?"

"The previous dynasty was powerful, and they were considered a prominent family in the previous dynasty. Later, they followed the wrong master, and when the master died, the Sheng family fell with him."

Madam Sheng San laughed miserably.

"That's why I use my beauty to please men and make a living among men. When Miss Sheng San was famous for her beauty, those men spent thousands of gold on me, and I was flattered. I thought I could meet a man who was willing to take me out of the quagmire..."

"Okay, I'll take you back."

After Lu Zhaoling asked some questions, he saw that it was almost time and prepared to send her back to the attic.

Madam Sheng San saw her walking alone in the dark abandoned house, returning to the small building, and putting the bronze mirror back on the dressing table. She remained calm and composed throughout the whole process, and she really admired her courage.

"Master Lu, I don't know where you come from, but you are really brave."

"Yeah, people call him Lu the Bold One."

Lu Zhaoling said something nonsense.

"Will you really come tomorrow?" Mrs. Sheng San started to panic again when she saw that she was about to leave.

She really didn't want to be trapped here anymore.

If she stayed trapped any longer, she didn't know what would happen to her. She also didn't want to enter the ghost energy pool and be used as food for something like the ghost energy.

You can never enter reincarnation.

She never had an afterlife.

Although she had a miserable life, she still missed the world and wanted to have a chance to be reborn as a human being.

Now Lu Zhaoling is her only chance and the only person who can save her.

Thinking of this, Madam Sheng San knelt down to Lu Zhaoling in the mirror.

If she had known that Lu Zhaoling had this ability, she should not have been disrespectful to Master Lu and should not have fought with him.

"Master Lu, please forgive my previous disrespect. You must come to save me tomorrow. Please!"

"After you get out, I'll give you all the jewelry I have."

She raised her hands.

"These jewellery I have are also very valuable!"

"I'm going back now. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll come tomorrow, but I don't know what time it will be. You stay here."

Lu Zhaoling said, "Don't worry, the bronze mirror already has my talismanic power, and it can protect you for at least three days."

After saying that, she left.

After walking through the long secret passage and returning to the alley over there, the fog had almost dissipated.

Qing Xiao and Xiao Yu were waiting there nervously.

Brother Xiaohai just stood next to the little fish without moving.

"Sister Lu is out!"

Xiaoyu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Lu Zhaoling coming out.

He was really afraid that Lu Zhaoling would be left there alone and encounter something, and would not be able to get out.

"Let's go, I'll take you back first."

No one spoke along the way.

When they returned to Xiaoyu's home, Xiaoyu opened the door carefully.

He listened to the noise inside and breathed a sigh of relief.

Grandpa didn't wake up.

My grandfather usually sleeps very soundly at night after working hard all day.

Before, when Xiaoyu was in the abandoned house, he just wanted to come back safely. What would his grandfather do if something happened to him there?

But now that he is back home, he feels disappointed again. He did not gain anything from this trip, and his grandfather still has to work hard to support him.

He was terribly uncomfortable.

Lu Zhaoling glanced at him.

"Xiao Hai, what's going on at home?"

"Brother Hai is a good man. He also wants his family to have enough food to eat. Brother Hai has a younger sister. He is also worried that the family is too poor and that his parents will sell his sister to a rich family as a slave. So Brother Hai wants to earn money to protect his sister and save up a dowry for her."

Xiaoyu said in a low voice, looked at Brother Hai, and felt a sour nose.

Lu Zhaoling stretched out his hand.

Two gold bars were in her palms.

Xiaoyu looked at her in shock.

"It was found in the wooden box. Anyone who sees it can have a share. You and him, each with one."

As for the rest, she would have to look at the dead bodies before making any arrangements.

"No, no, no, this is what you found. How can we snatch it from you?" Xiaoyu refused without thinking, "You saved our lives! It's good enough that you don't ask us for a thank-you gift."

He added, "But we really don't have the money to buy you a thank-you gift."

"I'll ask Brother Hai to help me catch a few more rabbits for you later, okay?"

Grandpa also gave her the rabbit today.

This seems to be the only thing they can come up with.

"Take it. You led me to find that haunted house, so this is your contribution." Lu Zhaoling stuffed the gold bar into his hand.

"Take this Xiao Hai home, take off the talisman and tell him to go back to his room and sleep. He will still be able to listen to the last sentence."
