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

Chapter 66 Even ghosts can be driven mad by their own power!
"Is there a temple buried beneath Wu Jinhai's fields?"

Chen Yang couldn't help but recall the remnant soul of the evil god in "Qukou Village." It had said that it had been trapped in the human world for hundreds of years, with nowhere to go, and had eventually fallen into depravity, transforming into an evil god to prolong its life. It even claimed that it and Chen Yang were "of the same kind"...

At the time, Chen Yang didn't understand.

Now, however, they have guessed the identity of that "evil god." He is probably a deity "appointed" by the underworld to the mortal realm.

Chen Yang asked, "Did you find any clues? What kind of temple was it?"

Wang Lin shook his head: "The experts sent by headquarters only arrived yesterday afternoon, and they only started excavating this morning... We'll have to wait until they've unearthed it to find out exactly what kind of temple it is."

no way.

There are too many "gods" worshipped by the people of Daxia!

Let's not even talk about the common "gods" such as mountain gods, river gods, and kitchen gods.

In some places, people worship the "Bed God," and in others, they worship the "Silkworm God."

For example, the Five Immortals are worshipped in Northeast China, the Cat Demon and Bridge God are worshipped in Northwest China, and the Water Goddess and Female Immortals are worshipped in Southern China...

So it's possible that some kind of temple could be unearthed underground.

After delivering the treasure, Wang Lin didn't go back. Instead, he chatted with Chen Yang about various things. When he learned that Gu Jinghui was cultivating the [Qingwei Yuanjiang Great Method], he said, "Director Wei also said that I should send some Taoist manuals to Gu Jinghui... It seems that there is no need for that."

"The Taoist arts and techniques collected by our Special Administration Bureau are just common stuff, far inferior to Mr. Chen's [Qingwei Yuanjiang Great Method]."

This is natural.

The Taoist sect places great importance on lineage, and some core lineages are not even qualified for ordinary disciples or elders to cultivate.

"really?"

Gu Jinghui, who was organizing goods behind the counter, perked up his ears upon hearing this and exclaimed in surprise, "Really? The cultivation method I practice is that amazing?"

Wang Lin said, "The Qingwei School was once very prosperous, and together with the Zhengyi School of Longhu Mountain and the Shangqing School of Maoshan, it was one of the three major schools of talismans. Its lineage is naturally powerful."

"I checked online. The internet says that the Qingwei School focuses on practicing thunder magic, emphasizes the unity of heaven and man, takes internal cultivation as its foundation, and supplements it with external methods."

Gu Jinghui said, "The internet says that the Qingwei Sect still has its lineage both at home and abroad, but it's quite secretive... Brother Wang, what should I do if I encounter a Qingwei Sect disciple in the future?"

Wang Lin: "Naturally, it's about concealing your identity to avoid them discovering that you are cultivating the [Qingwei Yuanjiang Great Method]. This is the core inheritance of the Qingwei Sect. Once the Qingwei Sect disciples find out that an outsider is cultivating it, they will probably get into a lot of trouble."

"what?"

Gu Jinghui exclaimed in surprise, "Then they won't do what they do in the novels, cripple my cultivation, and kill me to uphold the orthodox path, will they?"

Wang Lin: "After all, this involves the lineage of Qingwei, and those disciples could do anything."

"Then...what should we do?"

Gu Jinghui was clearly flustered.

In the world of "jianghu" (江湖, a term referring to the martial arts world), he's not even a newbie; he's only just begun to enter the field.

"worry about what?"

Chen Yang laughed and said, "If you can't make a name for yourself in this, that's fine... But if you really do make a name for yourself, then you'll be a true disciple of Qingwei. If anyone dares to jump out and bark, just suppress them."

He said earnestly, "When your Qingwei Daoist techniques can suppress all Qingwei disciples, you will be the true successor of Qingwei. At that time, you can become the leader of the Qingwei Sect if you want, and who will dare to say no?"

Wang Lin and Gu Jinghui were both taken aback, then burst into laughter.

At 1 p.m., the three of them went out for lunch. After lunch, Wang Lin went to the Wucheng Yamen, saying that there was another suspicious case that needed his assistance in investigating.

Business at the store slowed down considerably in the afternoon.

Chen Huaiyi called Gu Jinghui to the second floor to cultivate the "Qingwei Yuanjiang Dafa" (a method of cultivating the essence of the universe), while Chen Yang sat on the first floor to watch the shop and cultivate the "Huangquan Lianshen Fa" (another method of cultivating the essence of the universe).

Soon it was night.

Chen Yang went out and bought a lot of delicious food, which filled a whole table.

Chen Huaiyi scolded, "You child... I've become a ghost now, and I can't eat anymore, why waste this money?"

That being said.

Chen Huaiyi, however, had already picked up a skewer of barbecue and started "sniffing" it.

Two plumes of white steam rose into Chen Huaiyi's mouth and nose, and he commented, "This skewer was marinated for a little too long."

"Dad, you're about to set off. Once you get there, it will be hard to find this kind of food again."

Chen Yang picked up a bottle of Moutai: "I'd like to toast you."

He first took out a pre-prepared "paper cup" and burned it.

A wine glass appeared out of thin air on the table in front of Chen Huaiyi.

Then Chen Yang poured the Moutai onto the ground. *Splash!*
Wine automatically rose in Chen Huaiyi's glass.

The father and son clinked glasses and each drank it down in one gulp.

Gu Jinghui's eyes widened, finding it all very novel.

He picked up a bottle of Moutai, just like Chen Yang said, "Uncle Chen, I'd like to toast you too."

Wow!
The wine was spilled all over the floor, but unfortunately, there was no wine in Chen Huaiyi's glass.

Chen Yang snatched the bottle and yelled, "This is vintage Moutai, over 1 yuan a bottle! Don't waste it!"

Gu Jinghui, who had been wondering why he couldn't "respect" it, was surprised to hear this and asked, "More than ten thousand pieces of thatch? Where did you get that from?"

"It was given to me by Zhou Qiang."

Chen Yang pointed to the cabinet next to him: "There are a few more bottles over there. Doesn't your old man like this? Take one back later."

"okay!"

Gu Jinghui wanted to call him "godfather" on the spot, but he held back because Chen Huaiyi was there.

The father and son ate, drank, and chatted about everyday things.

We waited until midnight...

woohoo~~~
A cold wind blew outside the window, and the streetlights along the road went out one after another.

Chen Huaiyi drank one last glass of wine and said, "Chen Yang, you're not getting any younger... Remember to get married soon."

Chen Yang was both amused and exasperated: "I understand, Dad."

Listening to the eerie wind outside the window and feeling the temperature drop in the air, Gu Jinghui belatedly realized and exclaimed in surprise, "Chen Yang, there's yin energy here!"

Chen Yang: "Nonsense, with ghosts roaming outside at night, how could there not be any yin energy?"

Went downstairs.

Open the roller shutter door.

The street outside the door was shrouded in a gloomy atmosphere, like a cloud of mist.

Li Ali, whose maid "Ruyi" stood respectfully outside the door, was surrounded by ghostly figures. The yin energy condensed into a dark cloud in the night sky, baring its fangs and claws, constantly changing shape.

In particular, some of the ghosts have astonishing appearances.

There are "hanging ghosts" with scarlet tongues sticking out more than a foot long, female ghosts with blood flowing from all seven orifices and disheveled hair, "bodyless ghosts" that fly with only a head left, and "headless ghosts" that have no head and only a body left...

Gu Jinghui had never seen anything like this before, and his face turned pale with fright!
"Boss Chen."

Li Ali said, "I have brought the hundred souls of the dead from Hongshan City. I would like to trouble Boss Chen to take them down."

Chen Yang had been waiting for a long time, and without wasting words, he immediately used the "Rebirth Mantra" to create an illusory gate between life and death, and said: "Everyone, when you get to the Yellow Springs, just follow my father. He will take you to the Underworld for trial."

One by one, ghosts transformed into yin energy and entered the Gate of Life and Death. The headless ghost stepped forward and asked, "Lord Night Wanderer, I've gone down below... Can I still watch your live stream?"

"........."

Good guy.

Unexpectedly, this headless ghost turned out to be a loyal fan of his.

Chen Yang shook his head.

"I see."

The headless ghost took out a cell phone and handed it to Ruyi: "Miss Ruyi, please give this cell phone to the Ghost General... I have saved all the videos and web pages that he wants to watch."

call out!
As the headless ghost entered the "Gate of Life and Death," all the hundred souls sent from Red Mountain City had entered the underworld.

Chen Huaiyi smiled and said, "It's getting late, I should get going."

He floated up slowly.

Chen Yang instructed, "Dad... make sure you keep the letter of introduction I wrote safe, and also the 10 billion you burned last night... spend it as you see fit after you go down there, don't be stingy!"

"If you're broke, just send me a dream!"

With a smile, Chen Huaiyi transformed into a wisp of yin energy and entered the Gate of Life and Death.

aside.

Miss Ruyi secretly grumbled to herself, then transmitted her voice, "Miss... what's wrong with this world? Not only do humans need to be considerate of social relationships, but do ghosts also need connections?"

It’s just...

Ghosts are more infuriating than ghosts!
