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

Chapter 62 A Parade of One Hundred Ghosts: Who Should Kneel?
"really?"

The armored general's face lit up with joy. He waved for the dancing and playing female ghosts to step back and asked, "Where is the princess now?"

The headless ghost had its chest and breasts exposed, its navel served as its mouth, and its mouth contained fine, sharp teeth. It exuded an extremely heavy yin aura and looked extremely ferocious.

However, it dared not be presumptuous in front of the Ghost General: "Reporting to the General, I do not know the exact location of the princess... I saw the princess in a live broadcast by a Wucheng streamer."

"That streamer is a funeral streamer; his family owns a funeral shop. I've been following him for a long time... Today, after he started his live stream, he connected with other people, and I discovered that the person he was connecting with was Princess!"

"Anchor?"

The Ghost General raised an eyebrow and asked, "What streamer? Is it a person's name?"

"........."

It's 2025 already, and the general still has the same old ideas. He needs to learn to keep up with the times!

The headless ghost thought to himself, then immediately took out a Huawei phone and showed it to the Ghost General, explaining the phone's functions.

"This thing...is it really that amazing?"

The Ghost General held the phone in his hand, looked it up and down in surprise, and asked, "Where did you get such a treasure?"

The headless ghost said, "After Old Wang from the next village passed away, his children buried his cell phone with him. After he came to Hongshan City, he gave the phone to me."

"Sent?"

The Ghost General sneered, "You stole it, didn't you?"

"........."

The headless ghost, afraid that the ghost general had snatched his phone again, chuckled and said, "General, let me demonstrate the phone's long-distance voice transmission function for you."

It took the phone from the Ghost General and randomly dialed a number.

Dial...

The hands-free function is also turned on.

The call was connected very quickly.

A voice came from the phone—

“Hello…Hello!”

"say!"

"Speak up, why won't you speak?"

"Who is it? Are you stupid? Calling me in the middle of the night without saying a word!"

The Ghost General could no longer contain himself and roared, "You audacious madman, how dare you spout such nonsense! Believe me or not, I'll chop you down!"

…………

Wucheng.

Inside a funeral parlor on Yumin Street.

"Are you crazy, General? I'm Qin Shi Huang!"

Gu Jinghui hung up the phone, cursing under his breath.

Having just spent hundreds of millions on a live stream, Chen Yang asked curiously, "Who were you talking to on the phone in the middle of the night?"

Gu Jinghui: "What an idiot! He won't say a word even if he can't beat me. When I cursed at him, he threatened to chop me up. He calls himself some kind of great general... Pah!"

"It's probably a new scam tactic."

Chen Yang said, "These scammers are really hard to guard against these days. I... I have a friend who was scammed out of 800 yuan last time he ordered a massage at his home."

"Ok?"

Gu Jinghui asked in a suspicious tone, "Which friend of yours? I've never heard you mention them before."

"That's not important... Don't pry into my personal privacy."

Chen Yang changed the subject, saying, "Alright... let's continue cultivating. What you need to do is first memorize the cultivation method of the [Qingwei Yuanjiang Great Method], sense the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and try to guide the spiritual energy into your body."

"First cultivate your life force and refine your Qi, then cultivate your nature and refine your spirit... Proceed step by step, don't rush!"

"Your physique is special... As long as you practice diligently, you will surely achieve something in the future."

"Special physical condition?"

Gu Jinghui: "What makes it special? Is it something like the innate spiritual body, the Dao embryo holy body, or the hegemonic body mentioned in novels?"

Chen Yang thought for a moment and said, "More or less, but your physique has its pros and cons. The advantage is that it's suitable for cultivation..."

Gu Jinghui: "What about the downsides?"

"It might easily come into contact with dirty things..."

Chen Yang didn't hide anything: "It can even attract evil spirits... For example, if you go out at night and someone else encounters a woman in a back alley, she might be a prostitute, but if you encounter her... she might be a female ghost!"

Gu Jinghui was not afraid at all and laughed, "It's alright. Once I've mastered my divine skills, I'll kill one if one comes, and capture two if two come."

Having practiced at the funeral home until 2 a.m., a wave of sleepiness washed over him, and Gu Jinghui said, "Alright, Lao Chen, I'll come back to practice with you tomorrow."

"Maybe we shouldn't go back."

Chen Yang advised, "It's getting late, why don't you sleep in the shop?"

Gu Jinghui chuckled and said, "What? Are you afraid I'll encounter a ghost? I'm a man of integrity, how could I be frightened by evil spirits?"

Riding his electric scooter, Gu Jinghui hummed a little tune as he wobbled along under the streetlights.

His home is in the "Bishui Mingzhu" residential area in Wucheng, which is only an 8-minute electric bike ride from Chen Yang's funeral home.

There are fewer vehicles on this road at night, but fortunately the streetlights are still quite bright.

But after crossing "Tongxin Road," there are no streetlights on either side of the road. And there's a highway underpass ahead...

Gu Jinghui's way home involves passing under a bridge.

Looking at the dark bridge arch, Gu Jinghui suddenly felt the wind blowing in his face become a few degrees cooler. He shivered and felt a chill run down his spine.

Why am I scaring myself?

"Even if I have a special constitution, it's not that easy for me to win the lottery, is it?"

He muttered to himself, as if that would embolden him.

However, the electric vehicle's speed involuntarily slowed down a bit.

As he passed under the bridge...

brush!
Suddenly, a burlap sack appeared out of the darkness and slipped over Gu Jinghui's head!
Just listen to a "bang" sound.

Gu Jinghui's newly bought Yadea electric vehicle fell to the ground, its rear tires still spinning, but he had vanished without a trace.

"hey-hey……"

"Caught!"

"You bastard, how dare you insult our general..."

"Go easy on her, don't kill anyone... The princess said that no citizen of Red Mountain City may murder for money. If you violate the princess's rules, the general will be the first to chop you down!"

"The general has also come to Wucheng?"

"Hmm... I just arrived a short while ago, and I heard that the princess's whereabouts have been discovered in Wucheng."

…………

Inside the funeral home.

Chen Yang was just about to close the shop—

Whoosh!
A gust of cold wind flew into the store.

It was Chen Huaiyi.

After landing, he exclaimed in panic, "Chen Yang, something bad has happened... A lot of ghosts have suddenly appeared in Wucheng, saying they are looking for some Red Mountain Goddess!"

Hongshan Niangniang?

Is that Ali?

Chen Yang had some guesses about Ali's identity, speculating that she might be the lord of "Red Mountain City".

But what he was more interested in was...

"Dad, you said... a lot of ghosts have come to Wucheng?"

“How much is a lot?”

What's the difference between this and an uncle in a hat sitting in his office enjoying the breeze, while a large number of criminals rush to his death?
As soon as he finished speaking...

Waaaaaah!
Suddenly, the wind picked up.

A strong wind was blowing outside, making cans and plastic bottles roll around on the ground, and sending scraps of paper and plastic bags flying in the night air. The streetlights on both sides of the street were crackling and flickering.

The night suddenly turned pitch black!

Immediately afterwards, fog rolled in on the streets!

This fog...

It was formed from yin energy!
Within that mist, ghostly figures roamed, as if a hundred ghosts were walking at night!
Ding-ding-ding-ding!

The Soul-Capturing Bell at Chen Yang's waist trembled violently, emitting a crisp sound.

Chen Huaiyi's expression changed drastically, and he whispered, "Damn it... why are they coming to our house?"

"what?"

"Are you here to visit our house?"

Chen Yang's voice, however, carried a hint of surprise. He said, "Dad, you should go inside the Soul-Capturing Bell first... don't get hurt if a fight breaks out later!"

He shook the Soul-Capturing Bell and captured Chen Huaiyi inside.

Immediately afterwards, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard.

In the misty street, a general clad in armor rode an armored warhorse. A headless ghost led the horse to the entrance of the funeral parlor, its eyes fixed on Chen Yang, its mouth its navel, and it roared: "You audacious commoner! The Great General of Red Mountain City is here! Why don't you kneel down and greet him at once?"

Chen Yang grinned.

The headless ghost shouted again, "You unruly commoner, how dare you laugh like an idiot?"

boom!
Chen Yang circulated his cultivation, his body erupted with Yin energy, and he reached out to grab at something in the air...

Whoosh!
Inside the funeral parlor, two beams of light shot out!
Lanterns that glow in the night, chains that bind souls!

He held a luminous lantern in his right hand and swung the soul-binding chain with his left...

Snapped!
The Soul-Locking Chain cracked with a "whip," and a fleeting ghost fire ignited at the end of the chain in the night sky.

He looked at the headless ghost and said calmly, "What did you say?"

"Who should kneel down?"
