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

Chapter 70 What happened to the female ghost?
Chen Yang had never heard of "treasure hunting" before, and asked curiously, "How do they dig? Do they just dig randomly all over the mountains?"

Can you really dig up treasures from the ground?

"How about that?"

Zhou Qiang said, "If you want to dig for treasure, you first need to buy a metal detector... It looks similar to the Minesweeper in the movies. If it detects metal underground, you can dig it up. My uncle has one, and I've even played with it."

Gu Jinghui: "You didn't dig here before, did you?"

Zhou Qiang shook his head vigorously, like a rattle-drum.

Even if you've done it, you can't admit it in front of someone from the Criminal Investigation Department!

Chen Yang suddenly realized.

Where are there so many "treasures" underground?
It is undeniable that in some places during the war years, bandits were rampant, which caused many people to not dare to keep their treasures and wealth at home, but instead to dig a cellar or bury them underground.

But more likely, it's digging up graves and tombs.

However, Chen Yang was still quite interested in this matter.

He said, "Tomorrow...we'll go to your uncle's house tomorrow."

"Row!"

Zhou Qiang stood up and said happily, "Thank you, Boss Chen... I understand the rules. Just like before, I'll prepare it for you first thing tomorrow morning."

Chen Yang: "I'll give you an account number, you can just deposit the money directly into it. Otherwise, I'll have to go to the bank myself every time, which is too much trouble."

Gu Jinghui was extremely envious. He knew that Zhou Qiang's so-called "rules" were 50 yuan. He secretly wondered if he could take on a few "jobs" to make some extra money since he had already condensed his Yin spirit and could be considered to have "achieved minor success in cultivation".
However, considering that he had not learned any of the Taoist magic and spells in the [Qingwei Yuanjiang Dafa], he dared not take the risk!
After seeing Zhou Qiang off, Gu Jinghui said, "Old Chen, should we tell Wang Lin about this?"

"No need."

Chen Yang said, "With just a few people in the Special Administration Bureau, how many things can they handle? Besides, if this matter blows up, the Special Administration Bureau will naturally find out without even saying anything."

The Special Administration's "intelligence department" is not just sitting idly by.

In the late afternoon, Gu Jinghui went home.

When he returned to the funeral home, it was already past 9 p.m., and the girl named "Ruyi" happened to be there as well, and she had brought over an evil spirit with her.

According to Ruyi, this evil spirit was a lecherous ghost who spied on other people's young wives in the village every day. At night, he would even enter their dreams and bully some widows, making them unable to sleep at night and unable to concentrate on their work during the day.

Over time, the yin energy will erode the physical body, potentially leading to illness, misfortune, or even death.

Chen Yang performed a ritual to "exorcise" the evil spirit and burned 50 yuan worth of ghost money for Ruyi in front of her.

This money doesn't need to be burned.

Given Chen Yang's status, it's likely that "Ruyi" wouldn't dare refuse to do something for him. However, "coercion" and "voluntary" are two different things. Besides, Chen Yang himself runs a funeral home, so he wouldn't be short of a few dollars.

"Don't worry, Mr. Chen, I'll bring you these evil spirits again next time!"

Ruyi was a money-grubber; her eyes crinkled into crescent moons with joy when she received the money.

Gu Jinghui mustered his courage and went up to talk to "Ruyi". He even added "Green Bubble" as a friend and said, "Miss Ruyi, are you short of money? Do you want me to burn some for you?"

Ruyi retorted, "You're not my children or grandchildren, so why are you burning money for me?"

Gu Jinghui: "..."

Why would someone suddenly start swearing?
Watching the Ruyi turn into a wisp of cold wind and fly away, Gu Jinghui recalled the scene of him "toasting" Chen Huaiyi but spilling wine all over the ground, and asked, "Old Chen, can only children and grandchildren burn things for you?"

"That's true in theory, but it's also possible if it's a close relative."

Chen Yang joked, "How about I ask Li Ali to propose marriage to you? After you marry Ruyi, you can burn incense for her every day."

Gu Jinghui cursed, "How can that be? She's a female ghost!"

"What happened to the female ghost?"

Chen Yang said, "When she becomes stronger in the future, her Yin body will probably feel almost the same as a flesh and blood body... Besides, you have already condensed your Yin spirit, so you can communicate with each other spiritually when you are together."

Gu Jinghui's eyes lit up: "Old Chen... tell me more about your spiritual connection!"

After chatting and laughing for a while, Gu Jinghui changed the subject and said, "By the way, have you seen the messages in the class group? A lot of classmates have made plans to attend Yang Shuai's wedding... They plan to go tomorrow, spend a day at Yang Shuai's house, and then help Yang Shuai pick up the bride the day after tomorrow."

"Yang Shuai said in the group chat that his family slaughtered two cows, five sheep, and dozens of chickens, and he's going to entertain guests at his home." "Are you sure Yang Shuai meant slaughtering?"

Chen Yang said, "The Hui people don't say 'killing a cow' or 'killing a chicken,' they call it 'slaughtering a cow' or 'slaughtering a chicken,' and generally only an imam from a mosque or someone who can recite the scriptures can do it."

Due to differences in ethnic customs, there are also significant differences in the details of daily life.

When Hui people have a sheep that is plump and strong, they usually say that the sheep is "strong" because it has eaten a lot, rather than "fat".

When they have a happy occasion, they usually buy cattle and sheep a few days or even months in advance, raise them at home, and slaughter them two or three days before the date is set. Then relatives and friends will come to their home to help cook the meat and dishes, making it a very lively occasion.

of course.

This situation only applies to rural areas.

Even if Hui people in the city wanted to slaughter cattle, cook vegetables, or boil meat at home, they would have nowhere to go.

Gu Jinghui said, "How about... we tell them in the group chat not to go?"

Yang Shuai is dead, and they still went to attend his wedding. What if something happens to them?
"Even if you tell them, probably no one in the group will believe you... Anyway, we're going there tomorrow, so what's there to be afraid of?"

Chen Yang said, "Besides, I didn't go to your last gathering. Going this time will be a good opportunity to get together with these old classmates... Alright, it's getting late. Let's go upstairs. Try leaving your body tonight."

The two went upstairs, and Chen Yang first burned incense to help Gu Jinghui calm his mind and try to astral projection.

Gu Jinghui tried for a long time but failed. He then asked, "Chen Yang, how did you succeed the first time you astral projection?"

Chen Yang: "That's it... I thought my spirit would leave my body, and then it did."

"........."

Seeing that Gu Jinghui was somewhat discouraged, Chen Yang comforted him, "Your cultivation speed is already very fast... You don't need to keep comparing yourself to me, after all, everyone's physique is different."

"Concentrate your mind and try to visualize yourself reaching the summit of the mountain, and then try jumping off the summit..."

Another attempt.

Wow~
Suddenly, a cold wind blew out from between Gu Jinghui's eyebrows.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yang saw his "yin spirit" fly out.

Gu Jinghui excitedly flew around the room, while Chen Yang cautioned, "Be careful, don't fly outside... Your Yin Spirit is too weak, be careful it gets blown away by the wind!"

The two of them spent two hours fiddling around in the room.

After Gu Jinghui's spirit returned to his body, he looked as if he had been shot more than a dozen times, and his energy and spirit were exhausted.

This is a sign of excessive consumption of spiritual power.

He was feeling drowsy and wanted to sleep, but Chen Yang said, "Don't sleep, quickly cultivate the Spirit Refining Method in the [Qingwei Yuanjiang Great Method]..."

Chen Yang himself began cultivating the [Yellow Springs Refining Spirit Technique].

One night of practice.

Gu Jinghui's spiritual power had not fully recovered, and he still looked tired when he went out for breakfast in the morning.

Finished breakfast.

Zhou Qiang called.

"Mr. Chen, are you up yet?"

"When do we leave? I'll drive over and pick you up."

"No need, I can drive myself... We're going on the highway, right?"

"Okay, wait for me at the highway exit."

I have my own Mercedes, why would I ride in your car?

Otherwise, my old classmates would think I don't own a car!
