Dreaming for 10,000 years

Chapter 185 I am expensive

Shi Fei has been here for several days.

There are many mountains and little land here, and most of the places where towns can be formed are located in valleys, which have been important transportation routes since ancient times.

When Mr. Zheng was building a new house here, how could he have imagined that there was a nest of ghosts from hundreds of years ago buried under this land?

It is even more impossible to know that there are other people's remains buried deeper under the soil.

In fact, this is not uncommon.

Countless people have lived on this land for thousands of years, so where has there not been dead buried? The older the town, the more layers of bones are buried underground.

Just like when the Xi'an subway was being built, cultural relics were often unearthed, and the project was delayed for many years.

In some places, the archaeological team stopped after only finding cultural relics from the Song Dynasty. It was not because there were only Song Dynasty relics underground, but because continuing to dig deeper would destroy the cultural relics on the upper level.

The ancient relics are underground, like layers of books stacked on top of each other. The deeper you go, the older they are.

The same is true for the skeletons. Under this piece of land, there are not only the skeletons of this group of ghosts, but also the bones of other people buried deeper. If it is based on first come first served, it will never be the turn of this group of ghosts to fight for this piece of land.

In the Central Plains, where haven’t dead bodies been buried?
Dancing on graves is a sign of the depth of civilization.

Shi Fei looked at the ghosts in front of him and said with some sarcasm: "You say this is your home, but deep underground, there are skeletons that existed before you. If we follow the first come first served rule, you are just the later 'residents'."

Hearing this, the female ghost revealed a ferocious expression and said sternly: "Stop talking nonsense here! We have lived here for hundreds of years, this land is ours!"

If ghosts could reason, they would no longer be ghosts.

"Just because you've lived here for a long time, it means it's yours? I'm being reasonable with you, so don't be unreasonable!" Shi Fei said coldly, "If you're unreasonable, I also know a little bit about the art of exorcising ghosts!"

After hearing what Shi Fei said, the ghost girl suddenly turned into a gust of cold wind and rushed towards Shi Fei. Her movements were as fast as lightning, and her five fingers were like hooks, with a chilling chill, going straight for Shi Fei's throat.

However, she left some room for maneuver in her attack and did not use her full strength.

After all, these old ghosts knew that if they killed someone, it would definitely attract more powerful characters. If they just did a small fight, after a long time, this place might be occupied by them.

As expected of an old ghost who has lived for hundreds of years, he is meticulous and his ideas are completely different from those little ghosts who only think about harming people's reincarnation.

The little ghost just wants to be a human being, but the old ghost doesn’t want to be a human being at all anymore.

Shi Fei saw this and turned his palm over, and a ball of blazing flames suddenly appeared in his palm. He wanted to slap the ghost away, but then he thought, this is Mr. Zheng's new house, and it would be a pity to destroy the house if they started fighting.

So, he flicked his finger, and a dazzling lightning suddenly burst out from his fingertips, pointing directly at the female ghost who was rushing towards him!

"Ah--" The female ghost was hit by the lightning and let out a shrill scream. Her body suddenly retreated, and the white mist around her was violently swirling. It was obvious that she had suffered considerable damage.

Pure Yang boy's blood and black dog's blood can cause damage to ghosts and monsters, not to mention the lightning formed by the condensed martial arts qi?
Shi Fei waved his finger, and the lightning was like a nimble electric python, circling and dancing in the air, heading straight for the nest of ghosts.

Most of the ghosts in this group usually encounter monks chanting scriptures or Taoists using talismans and peach wood swords. Where have they ever seen a master like Shi Fei who can summon lightning at will?
The Five Thunder Curse was thunder, the sky thunder was thunder, and the lightning in Shi Fei's hand was also thunder. For these evil things, the killing power was terrifying. In the flash of lightning, the ghosts let out shrill howls, and their figures were looming in the white mist, looking miserable.

So they quickly went back underground.

If you have the guts, come and catch them underground!
Shi Fei looked at the bare ground and shook his head helplessly. He did have the ability to break the ground and dig three feet deep, but if he did so, Mr. Zheng's small building would probably be destroyed.

After weighing the pros and cons, he simply turned around and walked out of the building.

When Master Zheng saw Shi Fei coming out unscathed, he hurried forward and asked respectfully, "Master, did you deal with those ghosts?"

He thought Shi Fei was a passing wizard. After all, everyone who had gone in before was in a mess, but Shi Fei came out safe and sound, which showed that he had great magical powers.

"There's a little trouble!" Shi Fei looked at him and said, "When you were building the house, did anyone tell you that there was a nest of ghosts here?"

"This..." Mr. Zheng hesitated, looking a little embarrassed.

For something as big as building a house, why not hire a Feng Shui master?
But he was stingy by nature, and all the decent Feng Shui masters had been offended by his previous stingy behavior. In desperation, he had to find a cheap Feng Shui master passing by.

The Feng Shui master who was passing by was a swindler. He knew that with Mr. Zheng's character, he would probably not make a penny if he told the truth.

So he boasted loudly, praising this piece of land as unique in the world, which made Mr. Zheng very happy and he even gave him a few more coins as a reward.

Shi Fei saw Mr. Zheng's expression flickering, and understood what was going on, so he said directly: "There is a nest of ghosts under the house now. You have to find someone to dig up the ground, take out their bones, cremate them into ashes, and then ask someone to pray for their souls. Only then can the problem be solved."

"Ah?" Mr. Zheng's eyes widened when he heard it, and he blurted out: "How much will that cost?"

He quickly did the math in his head. Digging the ground costs money, cremation costs money, and the ritual for the salvation of the soul costs even more money!

How much money does this set cost?

"Want to save money? That's fine." Shi Fei sneered, with a hint of sarcasm in his tone, "Don't keep this house. Just give it to that ghost family."

"Then..." Upon hearing this, Mr. Zheng felt so distressed that he could not stop crying. He had worked so hard to build this house, and now he was going to give it to a few ghosts to live in. It was more painful than cutting his flesh.

He thought about it and calculated it carefully, and finally felt that it was more cost-effective to follow Shi Fei's method. After all, the house was still his, and as for spending money, he could still bargain and save some money.

So, Mr. Zheng gritted his teeth, nodded and said, "Okay, let's do as the master says! I will find someone to dig the ground, and then ask someone to perform a ritual to help the deceased soul to pass away!"

"Well! Now let's talk about my compensation." Shi Fei said.

"Ah? Master, you...you haven't exorcised the ghost yet? Why do you charge for this?" Mr. Zheng widened his eyes and looked at Shi Fei in surprise.

In his opinion, Shi Fei just went in to take a look, gave a method, and asked for money. This really did not fit the image of a "master" in his mind.

"Consulting is also charged, not to mention that I personally inspected and proposed a solution?" Shi Fei hugged Mr. Zheng's fat body and continued, "Don't worry, I'm very expensive!"
