Chapter 348: The Fourth Generation of Spiritualists Who May Live Forever

The air in the ancestral hall was very humid, but it was much better than when it was half flooded. At least there was no need to worry about a corpse or a ghost popping up at any time.

He Liansheng sat in a rocking chair, looking gloomy.

He Yin'er was holding a rag and taking care of the spirit tablet and the altar very seriously. After finishing all this, she started to clean the yard.

The wet ground made her feel a little uncomfortable.

The supernatural being belonging to the Ghost Lake appeared, and the water vapor on the ground dried up quickly, and the ancestral hall suddenly became extremely dry.

"The store manager values ​​you very much. You must work seriously and hard in the store in the future. Perhaps that is the real way out." He Liansheng said in a deep voice, as if he was making arrangements for his last wishes.

He Yiner forced a smile, "Don't worry, Grandpa, I have been working hard. Now I have become the manager of the fish pond, and my status has been improved a lot. Besides, I have a good relationship with Brother Yuan, and he is a nice guy too."

He Liansheng nodded, "That's good. Since you're back, I'll tell you about the situation of our lineage of necromancers. You have to pass this lineage on well in the future... maybe, it won't be necessary anymore."

The latter part of the sentence was said in a very low voice, and He Yin'er was about to cry again, so she didn't hear it clearly, "Grandpa, don't worry, even if I go to ask Brother Yuan, I will ask him to save you!"

"No need. My life is too tiring." He Liansheng shook his head. "Don't waste your relationship with the store manager because of me. There's no need."

He Yin'er wanted to say more, but was stopped by He Liansheng: "Yin'er, I don't have much time left. I have some things to explain before I can die peacefully. Now, listen to me!"

As a grandfather, He Liansheng still has some prestige. He Yiner could only prick up her ears and listen carefully, but she was also thinking about other ways to save He Liansheng.

"My death is inevitable. You don't need to feel sad for me, but the secret of Taiping Ancient Town should be passed on and cannot be buried. I have guarded this ancestral hall for decades, from my youth until now, so at this last moment, I want to hand over this heavy responsibility to you. Yin'er, you will be the next necromancer."

"When each spiritualist takes over, the previous spiritualist will die. This is a tradition and a rule. I am the third one, and you are the fourth. Now Bell is here to tell you how to become a new spiritualist. Don't refuse. This is something you must bear."

He Liansheng's tone became stern, but within this sternness, there was an imperceptible pleading.

He Yin'er heard it, she suppressed her sadness and nodded, "Okay Grandpa, I am willing to be a soul-caller. After you are gone for a hundred years, I will guard the ancestral hall for you until the moment I die, but not now."

He Liansheng said in a deep voice: "Do you remember what I said at the beginning?"

He Yin'er was stunned for a moment, then she recalled the words: My death is inevitable.

and so……

He Liansheng touched his left eye. "To become a necromancer, you must control the necromancer ghost. The ghost resides in the eyeball of my left eye. After I die, I will dig it out and put it in my own eye. This is the first step to becoming a necromancer, but it is not enough. The more terrifying the ghost is, the easier it is to get out of control. Therefore, you need to become what they call an alien. I have paved all the way for you. After controlling the necromancer ghost, you use the supernatural power of necromancer to summon your own soul."

He Yin'er was stunned for a moment, "I am a living person, how can I summon my own soul?"

"You've already died once, so it's no problem at all."

He Liansheng's words reminded He Yin'er of the last time she was trapped in the ghost lake. That was also the time she was closest to death, but...

With the "store manager's" white mist seed, she should not be dead, right?
He Liansheng saw her confusion and said, "As an employee of the Peace Hotel, you can get the protection of the manager. That is a terrifying spirit that can protect the immortal consciousness, but your body has died before, so it can be considered as such. This is the secret of the necromancer. You must die once before you can accomplish all this."

"After you summon your own soul, let your own soul use the power of summoning. Don't worry, although the souls are different, the supernatural powers are the same. Everything is connected through the medium of summoning evil spirits, so the summoned soul can still use the power of summoning."

"Although the souls we summon can only exist for the duration of one incense stick at most, if we repeat this process over and over again, the duration of this incense stick will be extended indefinitely, just like gears. When the outer gears rotate once, the innermost gears will be slowed down countless times."

"The souls you summon will dissipate sooner or later, but the time it takes to disappear is the length of your life. When I first became a necromancer, the limit I could achieve was only to extend my life by forty years. If I lived to sixty, I would definitely die."

He Yiner then understood why He Liansheng had to die at this time even though he looked to be in good health and there was no sign of the evil spirit reviving.

Originally, it was destined that he would die at this moment, from the moment he became a necromancer.

"But you are different. You have the store manager's White Mist Seed, which allows you to maintain your consciousness. Theoretically, the number of times you can summon souls is greater than you might think, and it may even be infinite. As long as the store manager is really who everyone imagines, you can live much longer than I do, perhaps a hundred years, a thousand years, or even longer."

He Liansheng revealed the secret of the necromancer.

He was not afraid of the secret being leaked out, because He Yin'er would be the longest-lived necromancer. Even if she could not achieve immortality, when she died, all those who knew the secret would cease to exist.

Time can cover everything, there are no accidents.

and.

A necromancer with a nearly infinite lifespan?
Just thinking about it makes people feel extremely terrified.

The fourth generation of necromancer will become the most terrifying one in the history of necromancer, because she will theoretically have unlimited time to collect supernatural objects.

Moreover, her true form is not ordinary either. She possesses the fourth level of ghost lake supernatural powers. Even without the ability of a necromancer, she is still a top-notch existence.

but……

He Liansheng's eyes became gentle, "Yin'er, don't blame me for letting you go down this path."

He Yiner shook her head, speechless.

He Liansheng sighed and continued, "Originally, I thought that after I died, you would take the spirit tablet in the ancestral hall and leave here to find a place to rebuild Taiping Ancient Town. But now there is no need. The water level of Ghost Lake is dropping. Perhaps in a few years, at least Taiping Town will reappear in the world."

"You must take good care of these spirit tablets. I told you their stories when you were a child. In fact, those are not stories, but real things that happened in the past. When necessary, you can use the spirit tablets as a medium to summon the souls of the dead. They are the most terrifying ghost controllers. Once they are resurrected, they can solve all your problems for you."

"But remember, summoning spirits requires a medium, and the spirit tablet is their last medium. Therefore, you can only summon spirits once. If you want to summon spirits again after that, you must find items they used when they were alive."

"I have never summoned the spirits of those most taboo spirit tablets, so I have left them all to you. I hope they will be of some help to you in the future."

"Okay, I'm a little tired, let me rest for a while."

Having said this, He Liansheng closed his eyes and said no more.

He Yiner had a thousand words in her heart, but at this moment she could only stand up, walk gently to the outside of the ancestral hall, close the door, and stand there quietly.

Inside the door, He Liansheng opened his eyes again.

He looked around with nostalgia, and then whispered, "Dear store manager, He Liansheng, the third generation necromancer of Taiping Town, wants to see you."

There was no response, as if everything was just his fantasy.

However, He Liansheng was not discouraged. Instead, he continued to speak softly, "If you are really like a god, high above, you will definitely hear my call. I know that you have never shown your divine power in front of people, but I am about to die. Even if I know some secrets, I will take them into the coffin. I will take even my relics with me. I will not give Yin'er a chance to summon your soul, nor will I reveal any secrets about you."

What he said was very sincere, but unfortunately, there was still no response.

He Liansheng was like a possessed old man, stubbornly believing in everything he wanted to believe. "Does the virtual game in the e-sports room still need a venue? The former glory of Taiping Town may be able to meet your requirements. I just have a humble request. I hope you can take care of Yin'er a little more because of my dedication."

A wisp of white mist suddenly surged out of He Liansheng's body, and then went back in.

A smile appeared on He Liansheng's old face, "Thank you."

……

"He Liansheng is very smart. As expected, these older generations are not easy to deal with. It seems that we have to go to Zhang Dong later. We also need to be more cautious with Zhang Xianguang. It is still Meng Xiaodong, Zhang Bohua, Luo Qian and Li Qingzhi who are honest and don't have so many tricks."

The third floor of Peace Hotel.

Really Lin Yuan was looking at the scene in the ancestral hall of Taiping Ancient Town. He Liansheng had been distorted into an old gorilla by the "store manager's" cognition, which also meant that He Liansheng had been completely invaded by the white fog ghost domain.

As long as it has been thoroughly invaded, a supernatural power will be left behind, providing Lin Yuan with vision to use.

"But he's right. Ghost Street had too many resources during its heyday. Three-yuan paper shops, coffin shops, tailor shops, ghost banks, special hotels... If you invade the past, the resources you can get are simply terrifying."

"Shen Lin can't. His spiritual power can only invade one year ago, which is the moment when he controlled the evil spirit. Otherwise, he will die from the resurrection of the evil spirit. Although he is dead, I can control his ghost and invade forward almost infinitely, but... I also have my limits."

That's right.

Like Shen Lin, Lin Yuan also has his limits.

His limit was the moment he traveled through time and space, which was also the moment when the Peace Hotel truly appeared. That was only half a year ago, which was even shorter than Shen Lin's.

Even if he controlled Shen Lin's evil spirit, he would not be able to break through this limit.

Because before that, Lin Yuan... didn't exist at all!
"Wait! It's not that I didn't exist before that, but that this world didn't exist. If I exceed that limit, can I go back to the world before the time travel?"

Lin Yuan's eyes flickered with crazy flames, but they soon died down. "No. I was just an ordinary person before I traveled through time. If I really bring such a terrifying ghost with me, the whole world might fall. After all, it was just an ordinary pre-nuclear technological world."

Having given up the idea of ​​returning to the previous world through the Memory Ghost Card BUG, ​​Lin Yuan looked a little depressed. He simply waved his hands and took a rest.

In the lobby on the first floor, the ordinary human consciousness that was cut out, "Store Manager" Lin Yuan, did not rest.

Not long after lunch, more guests came in to eat. They were all entertained by He Yuelian. However, it was the later guests who aroused Lin Yuan's interest.

"Boss Lin! Boss Lin! We are here to stay in the hotel, in the e-sports room!"

Zhou Deng walked in first and generously placed three supernatural items on the cashier counter, which were a dark brown eyebrow pencil, a hairpin, and a brass mirror.

Lin Yuan took a look and asked He Yuelian to put it away. "Okay, I'll arrange it right away. You've made a lot of money during this period. Have you become a rich man?"

"hey-hey!"

Zhou Deng smiled foolishly and did not answer.

It is better not to bring up things like stealing, so as not to remind the "store manager" of the time when he also tried to steal things from the Peace Hotel.

boom!
Several golden body bags were piled in front of the cashier counter, looking like a small mountain. Cao Yang, Zhang Lei and Li Leping walked out from behind.

There is no Liu San. …

"Liu San is really strong. He solved the two C-level supernatural incidents that just occurred in just two hours. Although it is only C-level, being able to do this is enough to prove his strength."

At the headquarters, Shen Liang looked at the news with his eyes shining. "It's just that his resentment seems to be a bit heavy, as if he is venting it on these ghosts. Is there something bothering him?"

……

Xiao An and Xiao Xi started to move the body bags. Guo Fan ran in at some point and helped Xiao An and Xiao Xi carry them.

The main focus is on being proactive, positive and hardworking.

Lin Yuan watched and secretly admired, the store needs such hard-working people, so that he can PUA... Pah! It is to encourage others to work hard.

However, trading animals is a bit troublesome.

It’s not so bad when business is slow in the store, there are only so many animals in a day, so it’s not a big problem.

But now it’s already very troublesome.

The income from staying in the hotel is just this much. Even if you can be sent directly to Caesar's farm through a directional portal, it will still be quite troublesome.

It seems that the issue of money needs to be put on the agenda as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Lin Yuan asked Cao Yang, "Can private capital apply to open a money house, or a bank, now?"

Cao Yang was confused, "Boss Lin, why did you suddenly think of this?"

"Isn't this just to make things more convenient? You guys always bring lots of bags every time you come here, and it's tiring for you to carry them, and it's troublesome for us to keep them. If we could use banknotes again, wouldn't it be much easier? We only need to bring a few banknotes, and it would be easy, right?"

What Lin Yuan said makes a lot of sense.

Cao Yang and his friends were naturally well aware of this, but the problem was that at the Peace Hotel, the only thing that was recognized by the "store manager" was ghost money.

Unfortunately, there are only a dozen or so left out of the forty pieces of ghost money collected by the headquarters, which is not enough at all.

You can't use ordinary coins, because someone used it like this before, but it was mistaken for ghost money, and the "store manager" punished them, took away the ghost that the other person controlled, and called the headquarters to report that someone used counterfeit money...

"Wait! Boss Lin, do you have a way to make money?" Li Leping asked a key question.

Lin Yuan was a little hesitant.

When it comes to making money, he can really do it. Through the "golden finger", he can interchange ghosts, animals, ghost money and banknotes.

But the problem is.

One ghost animal can only be exchanged for three ghost coins, and according to the current banner of the Peace Hotel, the exchange price between the two is also the same.

If Lin Yuan opened another bank or money house and exchanged at the same price, there would be basically no profit, and there would be an extra step, which would be very troublesome.

If he raises the price a bit, won't he be losing money?
After all, we still have to go to the money house in Taiping Ancient Town first. If there are any remaining currency-making machines there, we can take them and use them.

Even if it costs money to repair it, it is well worth it.

"No, no, I just wanted to ask. After all, there shouldn't be many people doing this right now, otherwise they wouldn't be out of money."

This……

Cao Yang and others were speechless.

In the paranormal circle, there is really no way to exchange or issue ghost money, so that the headquarters has understood the terrible effects of ghost money, but has no more channels to collect it.

Just look at Zhou Deng, this krypton guy.

He stole so many ghosts and brought back so many supernatural items, but he never took out even a three-yuan ghost coin.

You can imagine how scarce ghost money is.

"Well, if you have time, Boss Lin, you can go to the headquarters for consultation. They should know more."

That's right.

Just put the blame on the headquarters. There are enough smart people there and he doesn't need to waste his brain cells here.

In comparison, he still prefers playing games.

He accumulated several points in last night's virtual game, and he hasn't used them yet. He can't be modest in tonight's game and has to earn points!

Thinking of this, Cao Yang looked at Li Leping, Zhou Deng and Zhang Lei with a vigilant look, the look he would give to a competitor.

The looks of these three people are actually similar.

When it comes to the speed of imprisoning ghosts, who is afraid of who?
As for the game BOSS, the possibility of clearing the level even if you work together is very low anyway, so it is better to accumulate points first. The points can also be exchanged for BOSS abilities for a certain period of time, which is more cost-effective.

As long as you don't die in the game, you can save money for breakfast.

"Okay, Xiao He, take them to the room upstairs."

After arranging everything here, Lin Yuan thought about it, picked up the phone and called He Yiner, and the call was connected quickly.

"Brother Yuan."

He Yiner's voice sounded a little depressed and she was in a bad mood. It seemed that she had received the accurate news.

Lin Yuan sighed secretly, but did not provoke He Yin'er. He changed the subject and asked, "How is the town? Is it still flooded?"

He Yiner shook her head, not caring whether it was through the phone or not, "The water level has begun to recede. If nothing unexpected happens, the streets should be able to return to normal in a few months."

Lin Yuan's eyes lit up, "What about the money houses on your street?"

He Yin'er glanced at the tightly closed door of the ancestral hall behind her, then turned and walked towards the street entrance.

Before they had taken a few steps, water accumulated on the ground again. He Yiner stepped directly on the water as if it were flat ground, and even her shoes did not get wet.

After walking about ten steps, He Yiner stopped and looked at the "Money House" signboard that had already peeled off the paint. She said, "One third of it is still submerged in the water. Brother Yuan, do you want to come over and take a look now?"

Another third is submerged in water?

After being soaked in water, even if there were any items in the bank, they might have been washed away by the lake water or damaged.

Lin Yuan's willingness to go to the Ghost Bank was greatly reduced, but thinking of He Yin'er, he still agreed, "The store is not busy, I might as well go over and take a look."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Yuan glanced at Guo Fan who was still helping Xiao An and Xiao Xi move the ghosts, and did not ask him to get in the car, but came to the outside of the store.

"Wang!"

“Welcome~”

Lao Hei and Lao Hua stood up at the same time, wagging their tails, obviously wanting to go out with Lin Yuan.

"I'm not going hunting, so I don't need you for now. By the way, Lao Hei, you go and keep an eye on the fish pond. Da He is not here, so you have to work harder. Come back and rest after get off work."

"Wang~"

The watchdog, the knocker ghost, Lao Hei barked, spread out his limbs and trotted away, and soon disappeared in the white mist.

Lin Yuanshi also got on the paper sedan chair and said, "Let's go."

The four paper figures, as quiet as sculptures, seemed like robots that came alive after receiving an order. They lifted the heavy paper sedan with their slender arms and walked out along the bluestone path with brisk steps.

They were moving very fast. In the blink of an eye, they had walked the several hundred meters long bluestone path and arrived at the avenue where the Peace Hotel bus stop was located. Then they walked in one direction of the avenue and soon disappeared completely in the fog.

Behind the Peace Hotel bus stop, Chen Qiaoyang walked out with a gloomy face, "That's my ghost..."

“Welcome~”

A hoarse and strange call came from the bluestone path. It was the supernatural power of a ghost calling out to a person.

However, the rules of ghost screaming have been distorted by the "store manager".

From thinking that if they turned back they would die after hearing the shouts, to hearing the welcome voice they would actively go to the Peace Hotel until they entered the gate of the Peace Hotel.

Chen Qiaoyang's expression changed slightly, but he did not move.

Beside him, four corpses emerged. They held hands and surrounded Chen Qiaoyang in the middle. When the voice came, one of the corpses turned its head to look in the direction of the bluestone path. Its hands showed a tendency to break away, but were held tightly by the other two corpses.

“Welcome~”

Another strange sound came, and this time the corpse moved more vigorously, but it still could not escape from the hands of the other two corpses.

“Welcome~”

The third strange voice appeared, and at the same time, a tall hyena slowly walked out from the bluestone and white mist.
