Chapter 101 101. Resentment
"Call the people who plant flowers over." Qin Lianyun ordered in a cold voice.

Although Jinjiu didn't say anything, her behavior and everything she had just seen made Qin Lianyun realize that something was wrong. She could even guess that someone was going to attack their family.

"Yes!" The manager in charge of the garden immediately went to call for help.

After a while, the steward came back in a panic: "The person is gone."

"What does it mean that the person has left?" Qin Lianyun looked over.

"Another person in the dormitory said that the gardener in charge of planting this area left this morning and has not returned yet."

Qin Lianyun took a deep breath, then immediately called Jin Fuhan and arranged for someone to check it out immediately.

As for Jinjiu, she was already close to the place where the pansies were originally planted.

Jinjiu squatted down, reached out fearlessly and took out the thing inside - it was a black cloth bag.

"Ajiu, what are you holding?" Qin Lianyun had just finished giving a series of instructions when she saw Jinjiu holding something weird in his hand. She was so scared that her face turned pale.

"It's okay, I can handle it." Jin Jiu remained calm, but there was a hint of disgust in his eyes.

"Ajiu..."

"Mom, I'm going back to the bedroom first. Call me when Dad comes back."

"...Okay." Looking at Jinjiu's leaving back, although Qin Lianyun was worried, she also knew that her own Ajiu was capable.

She didn't know what the situation was. The only thing she could do was to find that person, handle what she could, try her best to help Ajiu, and not hold Ajiu back.

After Jin Jiu returned to her room, she threw the black cloth bag in her hand to the ground. The black cloth bag exploded the moment it hit the ground, and then thick black smoke escaped.

For a moment, the black smoke seemed to be condensing together, but perhaps they discovered Jinjiu's existence, so they immediately fled in all directions, but unfortunately, Jinjiu had already set up a "dragnet" for them in his room.

Seeing no hope of escape, the black air could only reluctantly condense into a small black stone the size of a palm.

The stone solidified in the air. Jin Jiu did not reach out his hand. The stone flew towards Jin Jiu, but was slapped away by Shui Lingxin. The stone hit the wall hard due to the force, leaving a very fitting dent.

Jin Jiu: “…”

Shui Lingxin, who was originally preparing to take credit, didn't dare to do so after seeing this and immediately backed off.

Lin Qian looked at the black stone that seemed to be 'inlaid' on the wall, and glanced at it curiously, but did not dare to get close to it, let alone touch it, so after looking at it for a few times, she floated in the corner, quietly watching what Jinjiu was going to do.

As for Jin Jiu, who is being watched, she is prepared to... do nothing.

After glancing at the black stone, Jinjiu ignored it.

She burned the black cloth on the ground, then stood by the window and began to look down - at this moment, the Jin family, which was originally shrouded in black air, had returned to normal.

Seeing that everything seemed to be resolved, Lin Qian dared to ask.

"Sister Jinjiu, who did your family offend? What the hell is this? I feel that my strength has increased by one third after absorbing it." Lin Qian thought about it and still felt a little unsatisfied.

Just now, Sister Jinjiu asked her to go over and absorb the black energy. Although she was afraid, she did not hesitate at all.

The fear comes from the subconscious fear of the unknown, and the decisive action comes from the trust in Sister Jinjiu.

Facts have proved that the black energy is indeed good for her, but she is just a little ghost who has lived for less than two months. Although Sister Jinjiu often cultivates herself, her ability is limited, and the black energy she can absorb is also limited.

Although this thing is good for her, it doesn't mean it is a good thing, after all, she is a ghost. Things that are good for ghosts may not be the same for humans.

"I don't know whether it has offended anyone, but this thing is indeed good for you. It is a grudge." Jinjiu explained briefly.

The so-called resentment barrier is the resentment gathered in the burial ground. When the resentment condenses to a certain degree and persists for a period of time, it will form a resentment barrier.

Ghosts can greatly increase their strength by absorbing resentment, but they cannot absorb too much, otherwise they will become resentful ghosts and lose their sanity.

When humans live in an area with resentment, they will be assimilated by the resentment and become neither human nor ghost, mentally insane, like a demon.

"It's so poisonous!" Lin Qian couldn't help but feel a little scared after hearing this.

"Yeah." Jin Jiu responded lightly and continued with the work at hand.

Lin Qian's eyes fell on the black stone on the wall and asked, "What is that black stone? Why does it feel like it has consciousness, just like Shui Lingxin?"

After hearing Lin Qian's words, before Jin Jiu could respond, Shui Lingxin was already unhappy.

Who is the same as that dirty thing?

Who do you scold?
Can you speak?

Shui Lingxin was waving her arms in the air, cursing, but Lin Qian was not afraid. She had just improved her strength and needed to consolidate it, so she used Shui Lingxin as a sparring partner, and the ghost and the elf started fighting.

Fortunately, neither of them is a physical entity, otherwise Jinjiu's house would have been destroyed beyond recognition by them.

Jinjiu seemed oblivious to the noise made by these two inhuman creatures, and just continued to use the condensed divination spirit to carve the glass beads in his hand.

When there was a knock on the door, there were exactly nineteen glass beads with different patterns on Jinjiu's table.

Jinjiu put the beads into his pocket and opened the door. Outside the door, Qin Lianyun looked worried. When she saw that Jinjiu was fine, she was obviously relieved.

"Ajiu, your dad is back, do you want to go down now?"

"Ah."

Jinjiu nodded, and the two of them went downstairs together.

At this time, there were only the Jin family of three in the living room. All the others had been sent home by Qin Lianyun. Even Aunt Qin returned to the Qin family to rest today.

The mess outside the garden still had not been dealt with. It was not that she did not want to deal with it, but that she did not dare to, and did not know how to deal with it. She knew that this matter had to be handled by her own Ajiu.

Qin Lianyun sat next to Jin Fuhan, while Jin Jiu naturally walked over and sat down opposite them.

"Xiaojiu, what on earth is going on today?"

Jin Jiu did not answer directly, but gestured to Jin Fuhan to stretch out his hand first.

Jin Fuhan stretched out his hand and Jin Jiu placed the glass bead in his hand. After a moment, the transparent and colorless glass bead turned into black and gray under the gaze of three pairs of eyes.

Qin Lianyun was frightened by the change in color, and the distorted and squirming faces appeared involuntarily in her mind.

If the Tranquility Pearl was not still on her body, she would not have been able to help but spit it out.
