Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 550 Tradition
"One year, so fast, does that mean that after one year, Yang Jian outside will be able to basically control all types of ghosts?"

Cao Yang asked with interest.

"Theoretically, this is impossible, because the number of ghosts is almost infinite. Even he can't control all the ghosts, but that's not the point. What's important is that he can cover the entire world with ghosts."

"I estimated that this time is about one year."

Yang Jian was bathed in red light. He knew everything that happened in the underworld. Each generation has its own methods, and he didn't think it was wrong.

"So, what are your plans?"

"Are you willing to restart and go back to the past, tear down everything and start over, or continue to suppress the underworld until one day in the future, Yang Jian opens the third door again and sees a false world that has long been eroded by evil spirits?"

"This"

Cao Yang was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to answer.

"No hurry. I came here today just to tell you this news. After all, you are the closest to God in this world. It's not an exaggeration to say that you are the second God. However, you still can't withstand the infinite restart of ten ghost eyes. Think about it carefully. I will come to find you in half a year."

Yang Jian was not in a hurry for Cao Yang to make a decision, because he still had some aftermath matters to deal with during this period, including the imprisoned evil spirits, the out-of-control spiritual land, the destroyed ghost bus and ghost ship, and many things that no longer existed needed to be restored in preparation for the world after infinite restarts.

The red light dissipated, Yang Jian left the underworld, leaving Cao Yang alone to think and consider.

"It's such a puzzling question. Should I be restarted to sixty years ago and experience everything from encountering evil spirits to becoming a ghost tamer again, or should I just sink into the underworld forever and eventually become a part of it?"

“Neither of them are good choices.”

The gray and white false world became a little dim. Cao Yang's figure was in Beichen Building in the last second, and appeared in Dahang City in the next second. He shuttled aimlessly in the false world, like a person who could not find his home.

In the world of the living, after dealing with the supernatural events in Dachang City, Yang Jian came to the rooftop of a building to take a rest.

"The thirteenth ghost."

At this time, Yang Jian did not use the scarlet spear, but held up a black umbrella. The umbrella cloth blocked his facial features, making the young man standing on the dark lake look a bit weird and creepy.

"Mirror flowers and water moons, my initial guess was correct."

"With the existence of Ghost Rain and Ghost Umbrella, the difficulty of solving Ghost Dreams has increased exponentially."

As he finished speaking, the figure of Yang Jian holding an umbrella quickly became illusory and transparent, but his reflection on the lake became real. There was not just one reflection but it filled the entire lake. The reflection holding the umbrella walked step by step in a certain direction, and finally disappeared on the rooftop along with the lake water.

Half a year passed quickly. The Nine Hells suppressed the underworld. In reality, captains such as Yang Jian and Li Leping were carrying the heavy burden and moving forward. The domestic situation had been completely reversed. Supernatural events were no longer seen, and many deserted and dead cities regained their vitality.

The headquarters also welcomed its third deputy minister, named Qi Zhiping. He has been learning from Wang Guoqiang in the past few years. It was not until recently when Wang Guoqiang grew old that he took over this heavy burden.

“I really don’t know whether it’s a good or bad position to be in this position.”

In the office, Qi Zhiping lit a cigarette, his face looking a little heavy.

"During the time when the first deputy minister, Cao Yanhua, was in office, it was also the early stage of the revival of the supernatural. At that time, ghost riders were willing to obey the orders of the headquarters. With Elder Qin in charge, although the supernatural forums and WeChat Moments were a headache, they were not a huge uproar."

"The second deputy minister, Wang Guoqiang, took over after the headquarters fought with the King's Organization and the domestic situation was temporarily stabilized. The period when he was in office was the darkest. Captains died, evil spirits were rampant, and most people were shrouded in fear all day long." "But now, the revival of the supernatural seems to have been suppressed again, as if we have returned to the original era, but now the headquarters is basically a commander without troops. But it doesn't matter, as long as Yang Jian and those captains are still there, the country can still maintain stability."

"But what if one day even they are gone?"

Qi Zhiping has a long-term vision. Times have long changed. He cannot place all his hopes on one or a group of ghost riders. All ghost riders will have their evil spirits resurrected one day, and no one is an exception. As the deputy director of the headquarters, he must take these issues into consideration.

Hades.

The six-month period has arrived, and Yang Jian has arrived as promised.

"Have you considered it?"

"I remember you said that the peddler was actually the Cao Yang of the previous life who was plotting against the Cao Yang of the next life, right?"

Cao Yang had a smile on his face.

"It is true. To be precise, the Ghost Peddler is a curse. In his first life, Cao Yang successfully controlled this curse and made Cao Yang the carrier of the curse. This is why Cao Yang is cursed in every life and has to start transactions again and again."

"But these transactions also helped Cao Yang grow quickly. You are the strongest Cao Yang among all the reincarnations. The previous ones were not as good as you, but you were also the top ghost riders in the supernatural circle at that time."

Yang Jian responded to Cao Yang's question.

"Since it's an old tradition, I can't break it."

Yang Jian was a little surprised.

"so?"

"The curse of the ghost peddler can be stripped away, but I will continue to guard the underworld. I look forward to Cao Yang in the next life reaching my level, and then I will be able to weigh the other me with my own hands."

Cao Yang said.

"Interesting. In that case, you don't have to stay in the underworld for the last six months. I will help you guard it, and you can go to reality to make some arrangements. I won't care about you."

Yang Jian also laughed. It was hard for him to imagine Cao Yang's mental state, but what was certain was that this was not a decision made because Cao Yang was too deeply corrupted by the evil spirit, but was simply a personal bad taste.

"Thank you."

Cao Yang didn't bother to be polite with him because he really needed to make some arrangements.

He took back the false world, and Yang Jian opened the nine layers of ghost cave, bringing in his past and future selves to guard the underworld in place of Cao Yang.

Otsu City, after leaving the underworld, Cao Yang returned directly here.

"Remove the curse from the Ghost Peddler and let it continue to haunt Cao Yang after his reincarnation."

"Perhaps the Ghost Peddler was never a curse, but a way out that Cao Yang left for himself. As long as this thing exists, Cao Yang will inevitably be involved in the supernatural world, become a ghost rider, and then continue to look for dangerous ghosts to trade with."
