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

Chapter 5 Are you a ghost too?

The workers were skeptical of Chen Yang's words.

This falls under the category of "stereotypes".

Just like seeing a traditional Chinese medicine doctor, if you look too young, it's easy for people to become suspicious!
"Why are you still standing there?"

Zhou Qiang shouted through a megaphone, "Everyone lend a hand, move the table... Once Master Chen has dealt with that evil spirit, you'll all get paid tonight!"

The workers quickly moved the table outside.

Some people were just there to watch the show.

Most people hope that this young "master" has real skills and can get rid of the "dirty thing" on the construction site. After all, there are fewer construction sites these days, so it would be good to have a stable place to make money!

Chen Yang then took out the incense burner and lit the incense and candles before placing them on the table.

Old Zhou quietly approached his son and whispered, "Where did you hire this person? He's not professional. In the movies, Taoist priests use peach wood swords to perform rituals, and they light incense, candles, and talismans with a single finger!"

"Those Taoist priests in the movie are all played by actors, how can they compare to Chen Yang?"

Zhou Qiang was speechless for a moment: "Alright, Dad, stop talking nonsense. Chen Yang will be unhappy if he hears this... If it weren't for our friendship, even a lot of money probably wouldn't be enough to hire him!"

"You paid back the money? How much did you pay?"

"50."

Old Zhou thought he had misheard. After confirming that it was "50" without a doubt, he grabbed Zhou Qiang and pulled him aside, yelling, "Are you crazy? You're paying so much money to hire someone to perform and go through the motions?"

For the past two years, the construction site at home has been managed by the son, and Zhou Jiyun has rarely been involved.

Zhou Qiang called tonight to say there was an accident at the construction site, which is why he came.

It wasn't explained clearly over the phone.

When he arrived at the construction site, he was surrounded by workers who all talked at once about how it was haunted. Zhou Jiyun couldn't believe it.

"Why go through all that formality?"

Zhou Qiang said seriously, "Dad, there really are ghosts on the construction site!"

And at that very moment—

woo woo woo woo!

Suddenly, the wind picked up.

In May, Wucheng was hot, with temperatures reaching 27 or 28 degrees Celsius even at night. However, the wind was extremely chilly, making people feel as if they had entered a cold storage room.

Zhou Qiang and his son were taken aback, their pupils dilating slightly.

It's not just them.

The workers were also surprised; some of the more timid ones were even horrified, getting goosebumps all over their bodies.

The wind howled and blew, stirring up dust and even forming a mini tornado around Chen Yang... This kind of wind is called a "whirlwind" in the countryside of Wucheng.

If you're alone in the middle of the day in a deserted place, you're very likely to encounter someone.

This isn't a proper wind; it's the work of evil spirits, a "yin wind."

The saying goes that when the sun reaches its extreme, it must decline. According to the Taoist Yin-Yang theory, the Yang energy is at its peak at noon, but this also gives rise to Yin energy.

At midday, the ghost peeks out.

In the common folk, whenever someone passes away, we often encounter some uninformed people who are very surprised, saying that they saw him in the past few days. This is quite normal. As long as it is within the first seven days after death and it is noon, you have a chance to see him in the places he frequented.

However, what you see is not a living person, but a living soul.

"hetui!"

"Bah bah bah..."

Several workers spat.

Chen Yang: "..."

He turned around with a dark expression and said, "What are you doing?"

One worker said, "An old man once said that if you encounter a whirlwind while you're out and about, don't be afraid. Just spit at it and it will disappear on its own!"

That's indeed a common saying.

but……

This gust of cold wind wasn't stirred up by that "evil spirit," but by Chen Yang!

The ritual for opening the altar...

We need to at least make some noise!
He had intended to unleash his cultivation to create some supernatural phenomena, but unexpectedly, the moment his cultivation erupted, a gust of yin wind swept around him, making him look even more like a demon than a demon!
So he could only suppress his cultivation, his lips twitching as he muttered incantations and began circling the table. "Could this be..."

Zhou Qiang's eyes lit up: "The legendary Nine Palaces Eight Trigrams Step? Dad, look... Chen Yang seems to be chanting some kind of incantation!"

There are indeed specific rules for opening the altar.

Chen Yang didn't understand any incantations or footwork; he just wandered around aimlessly, muttering curses in a voice only he could hear: "You bastard, why aren't you showing yourself?"

"Aren't you trying to kill me?"

"I'd like to see what you're capable of."

Wow...

Suddenly, a cold wind rose again in the night sky!

Chen Yang's expression darkened, and he said, "They're here!"

He looked up and saw sand and dust swirling in the night, causing everyone to squint. A gray shadow flew through the sand and dust and pounced on Zhou Jiyun in a flash.

Zhou Jiyun shivered, then a slight smile appeared on her lips, and a hint of bloodlust crept into her eyes.

He suddenly raised his hands and grabbed at Zhou Qiang's neck, roaring hoarsely, "Boy, how dare you disturb my slumber, and even dare to send that stinking Taoist priest to deal with me?"

Zhou Qiang was originally standing with his father.

Caught off guard, he was grabbed by the neck. He struggled repeatedly but couldn't break free, so he rained punches on Zhou Jiyun's face and head, crying out, "B-B-B..."

"What's wrong, Dad?"

"Big brother, don't scare me... Big brother, wake up, I'm your son!"

Zhou Jiyun's face was covered in bruises, and blood gushed from his nostrils. However, he was possessed by an evil spirit and felt no pain. Instead, the blood in his eyes intensified. With a forceful pull, he lifted Zhou Qiang off the ground.

The intense feeling of suffocation left Zhou Qiang powerless to throw a punch. He kicked wildly with his legs and tried to pry Zhou Jiyun's hands off, but he couldn't muster any strength at all!
"presumptuous!"

At this moment, Chen Yang's voice boomed like thunder as he strode over!

He activated his cultivation, and a chilling wind blew around him as he slapped Zhou Jiyun on the back of the head.

At the same time, the Soul-Binding Technique was activated, and black Yin energy surged from his palm, which was terrifying!

boom!
The slap sent Zhou Jiyun staggering.

A cloud of black mist flew out from his body with a start!

The Soul-Binding Technique, which binds and seizes souls, actually "seized" the evil spirit that was possessing Zhou Jiyun!

Zhou Jiyun and his son fell to the ground.

The black mist transformed into a twisted shadow, shrieking sharply, "No...you're not a Taoist priest, you're a ghost too?"

Chen Yang ignored him and continued to slap the ghostly figure.

After all, he had only recently "cheated" and didn't know any other methods. All he knew were the "Resurrection Technique" and the "Soul-Binding Technique"!
Using the "Resurrection Technique" to deal with ghosts is definitely not an option, so the only option left is the "Soul-Binding Technique"!

boom!
As he struck out with his palm, the yin energy in his palm surged forth, transforming into a gust of yin wind that swept out and enveloped the ghostly figure. The ghostly figure screamed and twisted under the effect of the "Soul Binding Technique," its yin energy surging uncontrollably as it flew toward Chen Yang!

"No!"

He screamed, "No...you're not a ghost either, what kind of trick are you using...ah!"

It's like a whale sucking in water.

The ghostly figure was directly absorbed into Chen Yang's palm. Knowing that it could not escape, it transformed into a wisp of black mist and instead of retreating, it advanced and burrowed into Chen Yang's body.

The next moment, Chen Yang heard another scream in his mind—

"No!"

Why is your soul consciousness so powerful?

"Ok?"

Chen Yang laughed and said, "I originally had no way to eliminate you, but I didn't expect you to seek death yourself... Yellow Springs Refining God, refine for me!"

Within his sea of ​​consciousness, the power of his soul circulated, transforming into a soul vortex. With a slight rotation, it completely refined that ghostly consciousness.

"A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years. The first thing you did upon returning to the mortal realm after ten years of cultivation in the underworld was to eliminate the vengeful ghost that had caused your death."
