You, a living person, are telling me I've served in the underworld for ten years?

Chapter 17 Lady Hongshan
Under the cover of night, a cold wind howled, and ghostly figures loomed large.

Gu Jinghui felt his body getting heavier and heavier, as if something was lying on his back.

even……

He could feel a large, cold hand gripping his neck.

"Old Chen..."

He didn't dare to turn around and asked in a trembling voice, "Is something crawling on my back?"

"Don't be afraid."

Chen Yang said, "She's just a five or six-year-old girl; she won't hurt anyone."

Yes.

Behind Gu Jinghui was a little girl of about five or six years old. She was wearing a pretty princess dress and had her hair in a bun, but her skin was deathly pale.

Wow!
The fire in Zhou Qiang's iron basin suddenly went out.

He shakily relit it...

Wow!
It went out again!

Zhou Qiang was timid and nearly wet himself with fear. His voice trembling with tears, he said, "Boss Chen..."

Chen Yang looked over and said, "You don't need to be afraid. It's just a naughty little devil playing with you."

It turned out there was a little ghost floating next to Zhou Qiang.

The kid looked about eleven or twelve years old, bald, and would blow on anything Zhou Qiang lit.
As his cultivation deepened, Chen Yang discovered that his eyes could see through illusions and even ghosts and gods, which was somewhat similar to the Taoist heavenly eye or Dharma eye!

This is also normal.

The underworld's ghost messengers are sent to the human world to capture evil spirits. If they can't even see the ghosts, how can they capture them?

"coming!"

Suddenly, Chen Yang spoke up, exclaiming joyfully, "Zhou Qiang, your father's soul has returned!"

He saw that among the ghostly figures, there was one that was confused and wandering around aimlessly, and its appearance was exactly the same as Old Zhou's!
Chen Yang immediately took action, using the "Soul-Binding Technique" to capture the ghostly figure, which was then injected into Old Zhou's body.

Old Zhou's body, which had been asleep for a day and a night, began to react; his eyelids and fingers twitched slightly.

Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief.

It's good that the soul has been "summoned" back.

As for those ghosts outside...

"I almost forgot, this is the old Shangqiao Hospital... So many patients have died here over the years, it's not surprising that there are a lot of ghosts!"

Chen Yang went outside.

He didn't act directly, but instead took the joss paper and paper money from Zhou Qiang and lit them with a lighter...

Wow!
The mischievous little devil blew another breath.

Chen Yang slapped the little ghost away with his backhand, lit the paper money and ghost money, and said, "Everyone, I am here today to help someone summon a soul at the request of a friend. Please forgive me if I have disturbed you."

He threw the paper money and ghost money into the iron basin.

Wow!

Flames leaped up in the iron basin, and handfuls of ghost money and paper money quickly turned to ashes. Chen Yang said, "This is just a small gift, nothing special. I hope you can do me a favor."

A ghost flew by, money appeared in its hand, and the ghost, overjoyed, turned and left.

Some of the ghosts, however, stared greedily at the remaining paper money in Chen Yang's hand.

Chen Yang frowned, a hint of anger in his eyes, and his tone turned cold: "Considering that you are all souls who died of illness in this hospital, lonely and pitiful, I, Chen, will not hold it against you!"

He lit the remaining ghost money and paper money, then raised them in the air.

Wow!

The paper money and paper money burned in the night sky, creating sparks that turned to ashes before they even hit the ground.

Some of the remaining ghosts then departed.

Only seven ghosts remained, their faces filled with greed. Instead of leaving, they surrounded Chen Yang, emitting eerie laughter!
woo woo woo woo! ! !

Suddenly, a chilling wind arose, even stronger than before!
"Humph!"

"act recklessly!"

Chen Yang snorted coldly, feeling both angry and pleased.

I'm angry because these bastards don't know what's good for them, but I'm happy because... we can get back to work tonight!

He activated his cultivation, and black energy swirled around him. The yin wind transformed into whirlwinds. He reached out and grabbed, unleashing the Soul-Binding Technique, and crushed a ghost from a distance!
The other six ghosts sensed Chen Yang's imposing aura and trembled with fear, trying to flee. "You're asking for trouble, now you want to leave?"

"late!"

Chen Yang reached to his waist and obtained the "Soul-Capturing Bell" hanging on his keychain.

He tossed it casually.

The Soul-Capturing Bell swelled in the wind, growing to the size of a soccer ball. It spun and floated in the air, its bell ringing incessantly, emitting visible "sound waves"!
The sound waves rippled outwards in all directions, passing through the six ghostly figures, who froze in the night as if under a spell!
Guardian!

Chen Yang waved his hand and released a stream of Yin energy that entered the Soul-Seizing Bell. The Soul-Seizing Bell reversed and generated a devouring power!
Soul-stealing!

The six ghostly figures twisted and changed under this power, eventually turning into wisps of black mist that flew towards the Soul-Capturing Bell!
"Ahhhh!"

"Spare your life!"

"I am a ghost soldier under the command of the Goddess of Red Mountain, do you dare to take me in?"

brush!
The black energy completely seeped into the Soul-Capturing Bell!
With a thought, Chen Yang sent the Soul-Capturing Bell flying back, and when it landed in his palm again, it had shrunk back to the size of a fingernail.

Inside the bell, four of the weaker ghosts had already been burned to death.

Two ghosts persisted, one begging for mercy, while the other, though outwardly fierce, threatened Chen Yang, claiming to be a ghost soldier of the "Red Mountain Goddess".

"The Goddess of Hongshan?"

Holding the Soul-Capturing Bell, Chen Yang asked curiously, "What's its background?"

"Are you afraid?"

The ghost sneered, "Your Majesty is the Ghost King of Red Mountain, the lord of Red Mountain City... Boy, I see you are surrounded by Yin energy, unlike a human. You must be imitating the Red Mountain Goddess, living and experiencing the mortal world in human society, right?"

It was trapped inside the Soul-Capturing Bell, and its voice could not escape from the bell. However, since Chen Yang had refined the Soul-Capturing Bell, he could hear every word clearly!

The information revealed caused Chen Yang's expression to change drastically!
Ghost King?

Moreover, he mingled in human society and experienced the vicissitudes of life.

"Kid, let me out now!"

The ghost arrogantly declared, "Otherwise, when Lady Red Mountain arrives, you will surely die!"

Chen Yang didn't speak, but simply shook the Soul-Capturing Bell gently.

Ding-ding-ding-ding!

Refine those two ghosts directly!

The yin energy between heaven and earth dissipated.

The streetlights inside the hospital, the streetlights in the distant residential buildings, and the streetlights on the street lit up again... In fact, these lights had never been dark; it was just that the presence of dozens of ghosts at the same time created an overwhelming yin energy that blocked out the outside light.

Inside the room, Old Zhou's groggy voice drifted out—

"what……"

"Who am I? Where am I?"

Zhou Qiang rushed in, exclaiming joyfully, "Dad, you're awake?"

Old Zhou's eyes gradually cleared, and he remembered who he was and what happened last night, but he didn't know what happened afterward.

“Dad, you were so frightened last night that you lost your soul. I had Chen Yang perform a ritual to summon your soul and bring you back to your senses!”

Old Zhou slapped Zhou Qiang and scolded, "Who is Master Chen? How dare you address him by his first name like that... By the way, where is Master Chen?"

Zhou Qiang looked out the window, but Chen Yang was nowhere to be seen.

Old Zhou got out of bed and saw his concubine lying on the floor. He exclaimed in surprise, "What happened to your aunt?"

Zhou Qiang made up a story: "Auntie didn't sleep for a day and a night to take care of you, and she fell asleep from exhaustion... Auntie, the ground is cold, wake up!"

…………

outside.

Chen Yang did not leave.

Instead, he got on his electric scooter and drove around the hospital with Gu Jinghui on the back.

He looked around.

A faint, eerie aura was found floating throughout the hospital, with ghostly figures vaguely appearing and disappearing in the dark corners.

Chen Yang asked, "Old Gu... how many people have died here since Shangqiao Hospital was built and relocated?"
