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

Chapter 34 Will-o'-the-wisps, entering the dream!
"I died so miserably!"

"That's terrible!!!"

"They all deserve to die, they all deserve to die!!!"

The voice was incredibly harsh, filled with resentment and hostility!
The sound entered the ear.

Gu Jinghui felt a sharp pain in his eardrums and his head was buzzing!
His face turned deathly pale in an instant. With a cry of "Ah!", he covered his ears and collapsed to the ground unconscious!

"Xiao Gu?"

"What's wrong, Xiao Gu?"

Several colleagues from the Criminal Investigation Division were startled and rushed forward to check the situation.

Su Jianjun and He Wanzhong, who were walking at the front, were also startled and turned back.

He Wanzhong glanced at it and his expression changed slightly: "Yin energy entering the body... there's definitely something wrong with this case!"

Just then, Gu Jinghui, who was unconscious, suddenly opened his eyes!
What kind of eyes are those?
The scene was filled with blood and violence!

It was like two pools of blood forming a cold pond; just one glance at it sent chills down one's spine!

"Kill, kill!"

"They all deserve to die!!!"

He let out a low roar, a very strange sound, as if two voices were superimposed: one was Gu Jinghui's voice, and the other was a shrill, piercing female voice. He pushed away his colleague who was holding him, and then flipped himself up with a somersault...

Snapped!
Just then, they encountered the Taoist talisman that He Wanzhong had sent!
The talisman landed squarely on Gu Jinghui's forehead, and He Wanzhong shouted, "Hurry, hurry, as the law commands! Suppress!"

Gu Jinghui seemed to be frozen in place, his eyelids rolled back, and he fell down again!

"Mr. He, what happened to Gu Jinghui?"

"He's been possessed by yin energy, and his mind has been clouded by the resentment and murderous intent of the vengeful spirits!"

Looking back at the small river, a hint of apprehension flashed in He Wanzhong's eyes. He said in a deep voice, "It seems that guy's strength is greater than I expected... Captain Su, send men to seal off this area and prevent any villagers from getting close!"

…………

"Qianyao Taiyi, the essence of cooking fire!"

"Drive away thunder and lightning, vanquish the demonic spirits..."

"Slay gods and vanquish demons, by order of the Fire Department... Hurry, hurry, as decreed by the Supreme Law?"

Inside the funeral home.

Looking at the Taoist Five Elements cultivation technique of Fire Magic that Wang Lin had sent him on his phone, Chen Yang thought to himself, "So that's how it is... This Taoist Five Elements magic is about sensing the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth and using one's own magical power to communicate with the power of the Five Elements to cast spells!"

Taoist Five Elements magic is considered a basic form of magic.

It's not difficult for Chen Yang now.

He possessed a powerful spirit and quick thinking, and after a little thought, he figured out the key to it!
He immediately closed his eyes, his spiritual power dissipated, and he carefully sensed the "fire element power" between heaven and earth...

gradually……

Chen Yang then felt the intense heat of the world.

An idea struck him.

He silently recited the Daoist incantation, urging his cultivation to surge forth. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and pointed a finger into the air—

Wow!

A cluster of flames shot out from the fingertip.

The temperature inside the funeral home suddenly dropped in that instant...

It's decreased significantly!
"???"

"Green...green?"

Chen Yang was taken aback. He even thought he was seeing things. He opened his palm and performed the Taoist fire technique again.

Wow!

A flame rose from his palm, flickering and burning.

The flame was no different in shape from a normal flame, except that its color was... a deep green!
It looks just like will-o'-the-wisps burning at night.

However, after a moment's thought, Chen Yang understood and chuckled, "After I died, I went to the underworld... According to the system's description, what returned was just a wisp of my soul."

Strictly speaking...

It should be considered a ghost, a ghost with an official position in the underworld!

"Then... I must be a ghost cultivator."

"If a ghost cultivator practices fire magic, what else could it be but ghost fire?"

All that is needed is to prove that one can cultivate the Taoist arts in the human world.

Just as I was pondering this, a police car suddenly stopped in front of the funeral home.

Wang Lin and Su Jianjun got out of the car. Then they opened the back door and, together with He Wanzhong, helped him out of the car…

"Gu Jinghui?"

Chen Yang jumped up and went to greet him, asking with concern, "What happened to him?"

"Yin energy entered the body, and the mind was affected by a vengeful ghost."

He Wanzhong explained, "I had no choice but to use the [Evil-Suppressing Talisman] to suppress the yin energy on his body and temporarily suppress his consciousness."

As they spoke, the three of them had already placed Gu Jinghui on the floor of the shop.

Su Jianjun briefly recounted the two consecutive cases of villagers "drowning in the river" in Shanshui Village, saying, "I found the case of that villager's drowning half a month ago very strange. The river wasn't deep; how could an adult drown if they fell in?"

"This morning we received a report that another villager in Shanshui Village had drowned. I had my suspicions, so I called Old He over... Sure enough, there was a ghost in the river!"

After learning the "truth" of this world, Su Jianjun, the captain of the Criminal Investigation Division, had obviously brushed up on some "folk tales" and "ghost stories" and said, "Master Chen, could it be that someone who drowned in that river has turned into a water ghost and is harming people?"

Chen Yang looked at Gu Jinghui lying on the ground.

He could even see the wisps of "black energy" swirling around Gu Jinghui's body.

A malevolent aura surrounds you!

Shaking his head, Chen Yang said, "It's not a water ghost... Water ghosts generally find it difficult to leave the water. Even if it rains today, they can't get as far away from the river you mentioned."

Even its physical form cannot stray too far, let alone its power.

He bent down, intending to peel off the Taoist talisman on Gu Jinghui's forehead.

"Master Chen... wait!"

He Wanzhong quickly stopped him, saying, "Master Chen, that vengeful ghost is extremely powerful. If we don't refine this power, I'm afraid Gu Jinghui will still be affected."

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "No matter how powerful a ghost is, it wouldn't dare to act recklessly in front of me."

He reached out and grabbed the Taoist talisman.

The instant his fingers touched the talisman, Chen Yang felt an electric shock-like sensation at his fingertips. Before he could withdraw his hand...

Wow!

The talisman burst into flames.

Moreover, it burned extremely fast, turning directly into a ball of fire. The next moment, the fire went out, and the talisman had burned to ashes.

aside.

He Wanzhong's pupils contracted sharply, and he felt his heart pounding faster. Staring at Chen Yang's retreating figure, he silently cried out in his heart—

Chen Yang, you still say you're not a ghost!

The talisman is on fire!!!
What special cultivation method... that's just a load of rubbish!
However, he dared not show it...

After all, Chen Yang must have had his reasons for not admitting his identity at the "Old Shangqiao Hospital". If he were to speak out of turn and anger Chen Yang, wouldn't he be in danger of losing his life?

Chen Yang didn't think too much about it.

After the talisman burned, he saw the wisps of black yin energy on Gu Jinghui's body begin to circulate again.

Gu Jinghui did not wake up.

But a look of pain and struggle appeared on his face, as if he were trapped in a nightmare.

"Gu Jinghui!"

"Old Gu?"

"son!!!"

Chen Yang called out repeatedly, pinched Gu Jinghui's philtrum and fanned his buttocks, but he couldn't wake him up. He raised an eyebrow and gently touched Gu Jinghui's brow with his finger.
Chen Yang felt his "vision" distorted and spinning, and when he recovered, he had already entered Gu Jinghui's dream!
Ordinary deceased souls can appear in dreams to their loved ones.

More powerful evil spirits and vengeful ghosts can even enter people's dreams, creating nightmares and erotic dreams to subtly harm people, let alone Chen Yang.
…………

"here it is……"

"Shanshui Village?"

"Shanshui Village more than 40 years ago?"

In his dream, Chen Yang saw a dilapidated and impoverished village with a banner hanging outside the village, the date and time written on the edge of the banner.

This is Gu Jinghui's perspective...

It's also from the perspective of that vengeful ghost!
Chen Yang saw many villagers in tattered clothes standing at the village entrance, with a dirty-looking child, holding up signs and shouting "Welcome Teacher Zhang".

P.S.: My child's school held a sports meet, and we went to participate in the parent-child sports events this morning. I originally planned to post two updates at noon today, but it looks like I can only post one at noon now. I'll accompany my wife to her prenatal checkup this afternoon, and I'll write the remaining two updates tonight.
