Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 652 The Vengeful Ghost in Red! Targeted by the Underworld!

Luo Fu's words made Zhao Li gasp in shock.

In this world, the tradition of shamanism is much older than in other worlds; it even dates back to the time of primitive humans when shamanism had already developed to a certain extent.

Unfortunately, times have changed, and the methods of shamanism have long since faded to mere scratches. Even though Zhao Li has been a ferryman of souls for over a thousand years, he has never met many people who have mastered the orthodox methods of shamanism.

Luo Fu's assertion was so certain that Zhao Li couldn't help but begin to doubt when Luo Fu's so-called cultivation over many lifetimes had actually begun.

Noticing Zhao Li's unusual behavior, Xia Dongqing couldn't help but ask, "Zhao Li, are the shamans that Luo Fu mentioned very powerful?"

Not wanting Xia Dongqing to know these things, Zhao Li said without blinking, "It's not a matter of how powerful they are, but that those who truly understand shamanic methods are all old monsters."

Nodding as if she understood, Xia Dongqing pressed further, "So, Luo Fu really has a way to bring them together as a couple?"

Zhao Li replied vaguely, "Perhaps. Although I am a ghost messenger who has lived for a long time, I have never seen any orthodox shamanistic practices."

A sudden inspiration struck Su Yue.

Completely disregarding the fact that Luo Fu was much younger than him on the surface, he knelt and kowtowed three times to Luo Fu, saying, "Disciple begs Master to teach me the art of witchcraft so that Qingqing and I can continue to be together."

As someone who enjoys collecting antiques, Su Yue was naturally aware of the existence of shamans.

Unfortunately, he only knew a little bit about cultivation methods through some ancient books. At most, he obtained a large piece of rhinoceros horn incense by chance, which allowed him to keep his wife. Apart from that, he didn't know anything about cultivation methods.

Luo Fu smiled and nodded, saying, "I have a lineage of sorcerers with unparalleled secrets, which aim to cultivate spiritual bodies. In terms of manipulating spiritual bodies, we are invincible. At the highest level, we can control all spirits in the world, whether they are elves or the dead, and manipulate them at will."

After shaking Su Yue's resolve, Luo Fu changed the subject, saying, "No need for apprentices. I've started a consulting company that specializes in solving paranormal problems. You and your wife can join my company from now on. By the way, your wife can continue to take on some clothing design work. As long as it doesn't interfere with our main business, I won't interfere."

The moment the words left his mouth, Luo Fu flicked his finger at Su Yue, and the nerfed version of the Spirit Binding Technique instantly pierced Su Yue's brow.

As if his brain and soul had been struck hard, Su Yue swayed violently.

Seeing this, Qingqing was worried, but she wasn't stupid enough to question Luo Fu at this moment.

The Spirit Binding and Commanding Technique that Luo Fu taught Su Yue was indeed incomplete, but that was due to the current state of the world.

It should be understood that in this world, ever since the ancient leader of the primitive people, Chi You, led them to raise the banner against the gods, the fierce war ended in the defeat of the primitive people.

It was from this time that the new generation of humans, from the very beginning of their existence, were destined to have their souls go to the underworld.

In the world of supernatural beings, spirits are not subject to the control of the underworld.

To some extent, the human souls in this world are imprinted on the Book of Life and Death in the underworld from the moment they are born. In the world of supernatural beings, the ability to bind and command spirits may indeed be very powerful, but in this world, it is impossible to forcibly bind spirits, since the ownership of spirits belongs to the underworld.
Of course, using spirit control to deal with ordinary spirits is still no problem.

Even though it's an incomplete version, it can still be considered the supreme inheritance of the shaman lineage. At the very least, the methods for cultivating spirits within it are enough for Su Yue to take on a significant role in Luofu's consulting firm.

After a full quarter of an hour.

Su Yue seemed to wake from a dream, and looked at his wife excitedly.

He waved towards Qingqing.

Qingqing suddenly felt an invisible force pulling her toward her husband.

Although it was Su Yue's first time trying this, Qingqing, as his wife, did not have the instinct to be wary or resist. She obediently let Su Yue take her into his body and completed the process of spiritual possession.

Unfortunately, Qingqing was just an ordinary ghost before. Although the rhinoceros horn incense gave her the ability to appear in front of people like a living person, she herself did not have many ghostly skills.

Even now that she's married, the only change is that Su Yue exudes a strong yin aura and her hair seems to have grown longer; other than that, her appearance hasn't changed much.

Feeling the unity of husband and wife at this moment, Su Yue excitedly said to Luo Fu, "Thank you... thank you, sir. Now Qingqing will never be separated from me again."

Having witnessed the entire process, Zhao Li said with a complicated expression, "You're using such reckless methods of witchcraft. If word gets out, be careful my boss doesn't get angry!"

"That's none of your concern," Luo Fu said nonchalantly.

From the moment Luo Fu guessed that Hades Acha had misunderstood his relationship with Chi You, he knew that for the time being, he was safe.

Unless it provokes the Heavenly Realm beforehand, there is no need to worry about the Underworld. As for the future, Luo Fu has already passed the stage of weakness. From now on, as time goes by, the shared abilities will continue to be localized. Give him enough time to develop, and even if Hades Acha personally takes action, Luo Fu is confident in dealing with it.

Zhao Li was taken aback, but he didn't dare to confront Luo Fu directly. He vented his frustration by patting Wang Xiaoya and Xia Dongqing on the shoulders with both hands.

"What are you two still doing here? Get out!"

Under Zhao Li's coercion, Wang Xiaoya and Xia Dongqing were practically dragged out of the room.

We stepped out of the villa.

Zhao Licai suddenly slapped his forehead and said, "I freaking forgot I wasn't driving."

"So, are we just going to wait for Luo Fu here now?" Xia Dongqing rubbed his shoulder in annoyance.

"Just wait, what else can we do?" Zhao Li said indifferently.

"You just said that the methods of that sorcerer in the Legend of Luofu are really targeted by the underworld?" Xia Dongqing asked with some curiosity.

Although he could see ghosts since he was a child, he had never actually encountered many extraordinary beings other than ghosts in his life.

Zhao Li, this ghost messenger, can be considered the first, and Luo Fu has shattered his preconceived notions that there really are beings in this world who have cultivated for generations.

"Why are you asking this? Do you want to go to your classmate's place and learn some tricks?" Zhao Li looked at Xia Dongqing with a half-smile.

"I was just curious, so I asked." Xia Dongqing said with an embarrassed smile.

"Let me remind you, you only need these eyes; you don't need anything else!" Zhao Li said earnestly.

Just as Xia Dongqing was wondering what the origin of his eyes was...

Luo Fu arrived at the villa entrance accompanied by Su Yue and Qingqing, a human and a ghost.

As the vessel left by the underworld for Chi You's remnant soul, Zhao Li, being someone close to Xia Dongqing, would definitely not allow Xia Dongqing to learn any extraordinary techniques.

The reason is simple: Chi You's remnant soul was merely in a dormant state.

One wrong move and he could suddenly awaken at any moment. At this stage, few can afford the cost of waking Chi You.

As the person in charge, Zhao Li was even more so.

Even if Luo Fu offered to teach Xia Dongqing extraordinary techniques, Zhao Li would do everything in his power to stop it.

Luo Fu, who was also aware of this, glanced at Zhao Li and then directly called everyone to get into the carriage.

As for Su Yue and Qingqing, the human-ghost couple, Luo Fu has just given them the address of his consulting company. Although Su Yue has indeed mastered the ability to control spirits thanks to Luo Fu's help.

However, he had never been exposed to cultivation before, and coupled with the fact that he had been with Qingqing too many times due to the rhinoceros horn incense, his yang energy had been depleted to the limit.

This is probably why Zhao Li didn't get involved at all after discovering the truth about Su Yue's family. On the one hand, he didn't want to meddle, and on the other hand, it might also be because Su Yue wouldn't live long.

After all, Luo Fu intended to recruit Su Yue into his service, and he wasn't a heartless boss, so he would definitely give Su Yue some time to recover.

Luo Fu even thoughtfully prescribed a formula for Su Yue and provided some nourishing medicinal herbs.

On the way back to convenience store number 444.

Wang Xiaoya was clearly very interested in Luofu.

With an excited expression, he said, "Brother Luo, you and Dongqing are classmates, how come you are so amazing, while Dongqing is such a useless person except for being able to see ghosts?"

"Who's a loser?" Xia Dongqing looked annoyed, but had no reason or excuse to refute it.

"You think I'm amazing?" Luo Fu glanced at Wang Xiaoya, the incarnation of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, through the rearview mirror with great interest.

In other worlds, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is mostly a celestial female war goddess, but in this world... ironically, Wang Xiaoya, this Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, is simply a disgrace to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

Their combat effectiveness has plummeted to an unbearable level.

It should be noted that other Luofu worlds have also had contact with the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

In worlds like Journey to the West and Qin's Moon, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden may not have a high profile, but her strength is absolutely not to be underestimated.

On the other hand, Wang Xiaoya had almost nothing outstanding about her.

Luo Fu's concerns about Wang Xiaoya stemmed more from the Heavenly Realm behind her than from her status as the so-called Heavenly Goddess of War, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden.

In other worlds, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden helped the Yellow Emperor defeat Chi You in a genuine way. But in this world, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden actually seduced Chi You to help the Yellow Emperor win.

Moreover, the Chi You of this world also seems to have a bit of a romantic mindset.

"Of course it's amazing!" Wang Xiaoya gestured with her hands. She said excitedly, "Just with this little bit, that husband named Su Yue has learned how to merge with his wife. Isn't that so cool?"

Leaning forward slightly, she moved closer to Luo Fu, but without interfering with his driving. Wang Xiaoya smiled ingratiatingly and said, "Um, Master Luo, do you think I could learn?"

Luo Fu didn't even look at it before directly rejecting the answer: "No."

Wang Xiaoya looked displeased, but dared not say anything.

As a college student, Wang Xiaoya has a strong tendency to court disaster.

Since she couldn't learn those mysterious techniques from Luo Fu, she was very interested in these supernatural and ghostly things.

His eyes darted around, and he said, "By the way, Master Luo, is your consulting firm specifically for solving these kinds of problems? I wonder how much it would cost if you were to handle it personally?"

"What? You have a ghost messenger by your side, are you still worried about encountering ghosts?" Luo Fu's heart stirred, and he vaguely guessed that Wang Xiaoya was probably going to bring up the 404 room in the abandoned dormitory building in their school.

The woman residing in dormitory 404, whom the students call the "Red-Clad Senior," is none other than a vengeful ghost.

Even a ghost messenger like Zhao Li was reluctant to deal with such a thankless and arduous task.

“No, it’s just…” Wang Xiaoya hesitated for a moment, then looked conflicted and said, “Our school also has a campus ghost story similar to that of Donghu University. It’s about the abandoned girls’ dormitory, specifically room 404. It’s said that many people died there.”

"Hey, hey, hey." Zhao Li's expression suddenly changed, and he said, "I'm warning you college students who like to court death, don't mess around with that 404 room in your school."

Little did Zhao Li know that the more he tried to stop her, the more convinced Wang Xiaoya became that the supernatural legends at their school were not unfounded.

"Zhao Li, do you also know about the ghost stories at our school? Could it be... could it be that there really is a ghost in room 404?" Wang Xiaoya asked excitedly.

"In short, I'm warning you not to court death." Zhao Li didn't even bother to reply.

In his view, the senior in red was indeed a nuisance. At most, she was just staying in the school. As long as she didn't come out and disturb his territory, Zhao Li was happy to turn a blind eye.

But Wang Xiaoya is different.

If she gets involved, she'll definitely drag Xia Dongqing down with her.

This was something that Zhao Li could not tolerate.

"I knew it!" Wang Xiaoya exclaimed with delight, but quickly realized something was wrong. She looked at Zhao Li in surprise and said, "Wait a minute, Zhao Li, aren't you a ferryman of souls, but a ghost messenger? According to what you said before, our school is also in your jurisdiction. So how come the ghost stories at the school, like the red-clothed senior, have been going on for so many years, and the underworld hasn't dealt with them?"

"Do you think the underworld is some kind of charity? Besides, I'm the ghost messenger responsible for guiding the souls of the dead. The red-clothed senior is a historical issue left over from before, it's not my responsibility," Zhao Li said nonchalantly.

Luo Fu hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Zhao Li is right. If you know something is wrong, then don't get involved."

Despite saying that, Luo Fu was determined to visit Wang Xiaoya's school.

If it were his past life, Luo Fu might have felt sentimental and even felt sorry for the senior in red, but now he was truly living in this world.

In Luo Fu's eyes, the senior in red was utterly wicked.

He committed suicide because he was blinded by love, but he harbored such great resentment that he became a malevolent spirit haunting the school, causing the deaths of countless people.

Luo Fu just wants to ask one question: On what grounds?
What do you mean the senior in red is pitiful? If she's pitiful, then aren't the people she killed pitiful too? It's disgusting that such a vile person can be whitewashed.

Even the red-clad senior in Luofu couldn't compare to the ghost on the Ghost Bridge; that ghost was truly wronged and died unjustly.

The senior in red had only herself to blame.
