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

Chapter 31 My father's soul has been suppressed?

"........."

The two men in hats looked at each other, both seeing the bewilderment in each other's eyes.

This kid...

Perhaps he has some kind of mental problem?
Right.

No normal person would go to a cemetery, dig up their father's coffin, and carry it home.

The older man in the hat said, "Sir, we are investigating a case, please don't joke around... Xiao Zhao, please register your ID card."

The last sentence was addressed to the younger man in the hat.

"I'm not kidding."

Chen Yang readily took out his ID card and handed it over, saying, "I'll wake my dad up and explain to you, so you don't have to go to the cemetery to verify the situation."

He was just about to close the door to summon his father's spirit when a startled cry came from outside the door—

"what?"

"Old Chen... what are you doing?"

It was Gu Jinghui.

He walked into the store and was taken aback by the scene before him.

Chen Yang said, "Old Gu, you've come at the right time... Please help me explain. Today I went to the cemetery and retrieved my father's remains, intending to bring him back to enjoy his retirement. However, someone reported me for grave robbing!"

"........."

Gu Jinghui was completely dumbfounded!
But considering Chen Yang's abilities, he immediately stepped forward, took out his ID, and showed his identity to the two men in hats, saying, "Don't worry, this is my friend. Our Captain Su and Director Li both know him. With his status, there's no way he would go tomb raiding."

Both of these men wearing hats are from the neighborhood committee.

The younger "Little Zhao" wasn't even a government employee. After hearing that Gu Jinghui had vouched for him, and especially after Chen Yang really knew Captain Su of the Criminal Investigation Division and Director Li of the Municipal Government, he didn't dare to continue questioning him.

Just before leaving...

Both of them cast strange glances at Chen Yang.

After leaving the store and getting into the police car, Xiao Zhao couldn't help but ask, "Old Feng, who's this kid? Do Captain Su and Director Li both know him?"

Old Feng, however, seemed to be deep in thought.

He paused for a few seconds before speaking: "Remember what happened at Shangqiao Hospital a few days ago? I had dinner with Lao He from Shangqiao Subdistrict Office the day before yesterday, and he mentioned that incident, saying that it was resolved by several people from special national departments and a local master from Wucheng."

"Old He was there at the time. He said that the master was very young and seemed to run a funeral home!"

Xiao Zhao was shocked: "Really? A master? I think he's a bit mentally unstable!"

Hey!
Inside the funeral home, Chen Yang was so angry he almost chased after them.

Who is the cricket?

His hearing was now incredibly sharp, and he heard the conversation between the two men in the police car perfectly. He couldn't help but glare at Gu Jinghui and curse, "You came at just the right time! I was just about to ask my dad to talk to them... and now I'm being treated like a lunatic!"

Gu Jinghui looked speechless and pointed his thumb at the shop door: "Should I leave?"

"Go to hell!"

Chen Yang cursed, "I've been at the cemetery all day and haven't even eaten yet... Come on, have a meal with me."

Gu Jinghui chuckled, "I didn't eat either... I came here specifically to freeload. Besides making a million from Zhou Qiang, you must have made quite a bit from the Special Administration Bureau too, right?!"

"Who said that?"

"Wang Lin."

After locking the shop, the two rode their electric bikes to a nearby hot pot restaurant, ordered three hot pots (two meat and one vegetable), and two bowls of rice. Chen Yang asked curiously, "Is Wang Lin still in Wucheng? Has the problem at the old Shangqiao Hospital not been resolved yet?"

"It was resolved a couple of days ago, but there are still a few strange cases in the team before, possibly supernatural cases. Captain Su asked Wang Lin and Lao He to investigate the cases."

Gu Jinghui took a couple of bites of rice and said, "By the way, how did you manage to dig Uncle Chen out?"

Chen Yang shared his thoughts.

"???"

Gu Jinghui was so startled that he put down his chopsticks: "Dig...dig it out and enjoy the good life?"

"No buddy..."

"Uncle Chen has been gone for seven years. To put it bluntly... his bones are probably rotten by now. How can he enjoy life?"

"As the saying goes, death is the greatest event, and burial brings peace. Aren't you afraid Uncle Chen will be angry if you keep making such a fuss?"

"You guy..."

Chen Yang chuckled and said, "You're lecturing me now?"

He put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "I've considered all the issues you've raised. Death is the greatest tragedy, and burial is for peace... Logically speaking, even if I have the ability, I shouldn't interfere with the cycle of life and death." "But in this era, heaven and earth are separated, and the path between yin and yang is severed!"

"After a person dies, their soul cannot enter the underworld and cannot be reincarnated. They can only wander in the human world as a lonely ghost, exposed to the wind and sun, frightened by thunder and lightning, and there is also the possibility of being devoured by vengeful ghosts or captured by people in the martial arts world to refine their souls."

"So dangerous?"

Gu Jinghui said, "Then it is indeed time to call them back..."

The two ate a meal.

Then we went to the billiards hall.

Gu Jinghui talked about work. There hadn't been any major cases in the past few days. The criminal investigation team was focusing on cooperating with Wang Lin and He Wanzhong in investigating the previous cases that were suspected of being "paranormal."

At 8:40 p.m., Chen Yang received a call from the coffin shop.

"Done so quickly?"

"Deliver it now... Yes, that's the address. I'm out right now, but I can get to the store in 10 minutes at most."

Chen Yang picked up the pool cue and slammed it into the pockets, clearing the table. Then he threw the cue down and looked at the dumbfounded Gu Jinghui: "Let's go... what are you all standing there for?"

Oh shit!

So you've been going easy on me all this time, haven't you?
Gu Jinghui felt his dignity had been insulted, threw down his pool cue and cursed, "Old Chen, if you ever ask me to play pool again, you'll have to pay for the table fee!"

After leaving the billiards hall, the two quickly rode their electric bikes back to the funeral home.

soon.

The coffin has arrived.

Chen Yang handed the old coffin over to a coffin shop for disposal. He then locked the shop door, drew the curtains, and took out the old man's remains. Using his own cultivation and Yin energy, he glued the joints and bones together and placed the remains in a seated position in the center of the room.

Candles and incense were lit around the old man.

Gu Jinghui asked in surprise, "Chen Yang, this seems quite different from the ritual we performed to summon Old Zhou's soul last time?"

"nonsense!"

Chen Yang: "Old Zhou is a living person who has lost his soul. My father has been dead for seven years. Summoning the soul of a living person is naturally different from summoning the soul of a corpse."

He activated the "Resurrection Technique" and then supplemented it with the Soul Summoning Technique.

Just a moment...

huh~~~
got windy!
A chilling wind swept through the funeral parlor, causing yellow paper to flutter on the counter and candlelight to flicker on the floor!
A wisp of eerie energy blew in from the crack in the door, swirled around in the shop, and then disappeared into the bones!
"coming!"

A hint of excitement flickered in Chen Yang's eyes as he stared intently at the old man's remains!

As the wisp of yin energy seeped into the skeleton, two "green flames" suddenly lit up in its eyes. These "green flames" gradually brightened from dim to brighter, and then...

Click, click, click!

The skeleton turned its head, and two green "soul flames" flickered in its empty eye sockets. Its mouth opened and closed, and its voice was hoarse like a leaky wind: "Little Chen, I have no grudge against you. Why are you trying to ruin my plans?"

"???"

Chen Yang was taken aback.

This is……

Is that the voice of Grandpa Ma from the dried fruit and goji berry shop next door?
"grass!"

"You think I'm bad, sir!"

At this crucial moment of summoning the old man's soul, Chen Yang was too lazy to waste words with Grandpa Ma. With a dark face, he waved his hand and directly fanned away the yin energy and spirit attached to the corpse. Chen Yang muttered incantations and continued to perform the soul-summoning technique!

on the ground.

The bones trembled and rubbed together, making a "crackling" sound.

Gu Jinghui stared wide-eyed, not daring to utter a sound.

At this moment, Chen Yang seemed to have entered a wonderful state. His soul was faintly connected with the Yin and Yang realms, and he sensed a wisp of the old man's aura in the dark!

Half an hour later...

Chen Yang stopped casting the spell and frowned.

Gu Jinghui quickly asked, "What's wrong? Uncle Chen hasn't come back?"

Chen Yang's face was ashen, and he said slowly and deliberately, "My father's soul... has been suppressed!"

P.S.: My sister got married today, and I was busy all day, so the update is late. Sorry.
