"There are, but it's more troublesome." Meng Po pondered for awhile and said, "Grievous energy is being produced because this man suffered some sort of injustice when he was still alive. As a result, he had grievance toward the world. Apart from trying to get rid of it by force, we can only try to figure out how he died and resolve the knot in his heart. That will take care of the grievous energy."

That really did sound troublesome.

The key was the soul himself had forgotten how he died. How were they going to figure it out?

Shen Ying tilted her head and turned to Yi Qing. "How about we just beat the grievous energy out of him?" That was probably a more no-waste method of doing things.

"Master..." Yi Qing frowned. "His soul is already extremely weak. I can't even withstand a blow from you – his soul will dissipate for sure."

"..." What should we do then? Why not you hit him?

"He said he came from Qing He before." Yi Qing scanned the ghost from head to toe. "Why not we head over to take a look?"

"Would there be anything to eat?"

""It's a county city, I think there is a significant number of people over there. There should be food for us to eat." For all they knew, they could probably replenish their resources.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's go!"

"Yes, Master." Yi Qing turned to address Meng Po. "Shortie, why don't you return first? Hand the ghost over to us for now."

Meng Po nodded. He turned around and stole a glance at the still confused little ghost. Then, she disappeared.

Song Ren jumped upon seeing Meng Po disappear into thin air. He curled himself up into a ball immediately, then turned to look at Yi Qing. "Immortal, what were the two of you talking about? What grievous energy? Do I have something... something fearful on my body?" The ghost could not figure out what was going on. After hearing the conversation between the few of them about this grievous energy, he managed to decipher that this thing was stopping him from reincarnating.

"We're going on a trip right now to figure out the cause of your death," Yi Qing explained. "Don't worry, we'll make sure you reincarnate."

Song Ren nodded, then bowed to the both of them. "Thank you, Exalted Immortals."

What a well-mannered ghost.

"Master, let's go!" Yi Qing drew his dharmic sword and helped Shen Ying onto it. Then, he turned to the ghost.

Song Ren paused. He figured out that he was supposed to hop on the sword, so he floated toward it. Just like the nerd he was, he bowed one more time. "Thank you, Exalted Immortal, for taking me to- Ah!"

Before he could finish speaking, Yi Qing pulled the ghost onto the sword and took off. Song Ren was not prepared to fly into the air. He let out a wail that sounded like a dying pig.

Yi Qing: "…"

Shen Ying, "..."

Ten minutes later...

"Get off me!" Yi Qing could not stand it any further. He glared at the ghost hanging onto him like an octopus. No matter how scared he had been, he should have calmed down by then. They had been flying for ten minutes!

"Exalted.... Exalted Immortal." Song Ren's originally pale face had turned even whiter. "I'm... I'm afraid of heights!"

Weren't you floating just awhile ago? Is there anything you're not afraid of?
