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

Chapter 85 Ali cries for help, Black Mountain Demon!

All that could be heard along the banks of the Yellow River Park were exclamations of "Holy crap!" Gu Jinghui, Wang Lin, Ma Lin, and several excavator drivers were all astonished by what they saw!
It's not that these people are uncultured.

When people are in a state of extreme shock, they will subconsciously utter these two words.

Not far away is a 100-meter-long pontoon bridge spanning the Yellow River.

Although it was just dawn, there were already quite a few people jogging on the track across the river. They were all attracted by the commotion and were speechless, thinking they were seeing things!

Someone immediately took out their phone to record the video and posted it to their WeChat Moments, work groups, and family groups, and also sent a voice message explaining the situation!

They say there really are gods in this world, and someone has blocked the Yellow River!

But what I got in return was doubt and disdain!

"What kind of deity?"

"Still asleep this early in the morning, huh..."

"To be fair, the special effects are pretty good; they look just like the real thing."

Someone posted the video on a short video platform, but...

The comments section was almost entirely filled with skepticism, with some playful netizens even using AI to create images of themselves splitting the Yangtze River, the Atlantic Ocean, the Earth, and the Milky Way in two...

Who would believe this breathtaking scene if they hadn't witnessed it with their own eyes?
Who dares to believe it?

With a flick of his finger, Chen Yang severed the hundred-meter-wide turbid river, causing the muddy waters to flow away and revealing the silt at the bottom of the river!
"miracle!"

"The Night Wanderer is truly a god!"

Upon witnessing this scene, the wronged souls bowed their heads in reverence.

Chen Yang maintained his cultivation level and shouted, "Stop talking nonsense! Lead the way!"

The excavator driver couldn't see the wronged souls with his naked eye, but fortunately, Gu Jinghui intervened and the wronged souls were separated and sent to the bottom of the river, eventually stopping at the same spot!
The silt here is noticeably more prominent than the silt next to it.

just like……

It looks like a big burial mound!
wrong.

It shouldn't be described as just "seems"; in some ways, it's a burial mound, where the remains of wronged souls are suppressed and buried!
"Master... quick, dig there!"

Gu Jinghui took charge, but the excavator operators had never seen anything like this before, and they were all frozen in shock!
Even after regaining their senses, they were still shaking their heads frantically!
"No, no, no..."

"The mud below is too deep... What if we get stuck?"

Gu Jinghui: "Then you should dig some soil from the riverbank to fill it in first!"

Excavator operator: "What if the river floods back down right after we start working? With such a huge amount of water, wouldn't it sweep us and the excavator away together?"

Chen Yang looked over.

With a thought, he activated his spiritual power and said, "Masters, rest assured, I can keep casting this spell!"

His words seemed to possess an inexplicable power that inspired the excavator operators, who immediately started their excavators, digging soil from the riverbank to pave the road, and drove the excavators down into the riverbed!

It's just a small application of the power of the soul!

When one's cultivation reaches Chen Yang's level, one's soul can, in a single thought, stir up a person's inner demons, causing them to fall into an illusion from which they cannot extricate themselves. It can also give people a kind of "spiritual" power.

The silt mounds at the bottom of the river were quickly dug up.

What met the eye were countless skeletons.

Some of the skeletons had broken apart and were piled up together, forming a small "bone mountain"!
Fortunately, the distance to the other side was relatively far, and the bones were covered in mud, so the people on the other side couldn't see them clearly. But Gu Jinghui, Wang Lin, Ma Lin, and several excavator operators gasped in shock!
Even Yang Shuai, who was practically a hanged ghost, couldn't help but exclaim, "That's terrifying!"
Normally, the excavator operator would have run away long ago if he saw this.

However, under the influence of Chen Yang's divine soul power, they dug up all the skeletons and threw them, along with the silt, onto a relatively wide area on the shore.

It took a full hour to dig and clear it all.

Chen Yang dispelled the spell!

boom!
The river flowed again, splashing up huge waves.

"Thank you for your hard work, everyone..."

Chen Yang stepped forward and said, "Wang Lin, settle the bill for these masters, give each of them an extra thousand."

After settling the bill, the excavator operators drove their machines back onto the boat and then left the "Yellow River Park".

Yang Shuai drifted over and looked at the excavator operators who had remained completely calm throughout, and couldn't help but ask, "Is it my problem or the problem of this world?"

"Are these excavator operators just ordinary people? Aren't they afraid at all?"

Chen Yang laughed and said, "I influenced their emotions with my divine soul power, so they naturally don't know fear... After they leave, they will forget about digging up the corpses and will only remember that they got a big order today and easily made an extra 1000 yuan."

A total of 102 wronged souls lingered near the "mud mound," and the yin energy they emitted made the temperature in the entire Yellow River Park icy cold.

They are considered "water ghosts," and their aura causes water mist to fill the air.

One bird would be fine, but when more than a hundred gathered together, the mist quickly spread and enveloped the entire Yellow River Park.

outside.

Some people tried to run in to find out what was going on, but they were all stopped by the officials.

Su Jianjun and Director Li from the yamen led Wu Cheng's "forensic team" across the pontoon bridge to the scene!
Even with their extensive experience, these "forensic doctors" were horrified when they saw the "piles of bones and mud" before them.

"You all step back a bit."

Chen Yang said, "These forensic doctors deal with corpses all day long. If they also get tainted by your yin energy, it's easy for something bad to happen."

The wronged souls quickly retreated.

"Director Li, Captain Su!"

"This project is enormous!"

Faced with the "mass of bones and mud" that was ten meters high, the group of forensic doctors had no idea where to start and could only approach Su Jianjun and Director Li to ask them to send more people.

"There are only a few forensic doctors in Wucheng, where am I supposed to find someone?"

Director Li skillfully painted a rosy picture, saying, "Everyone, keep up the good work... I'll give you all a break once we're done!"

A forensic doctor said with a wry smile, "Director Li... at least find some people to help us clear away the silt, right? Otherwise, it would take us a week to clean up all this silt."

"This is simple."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang smiled and said, "It will rain later, and the rainwater will be enough to wash away the mud on the remains... You can then do your work of sorting out the remains."

He glanced at the vengeful spirits of the water ghosts.

The wronged souls immediately understood and used their abilities. In an instant, a large amount of water mist formed a cloud thirty meters in diameter above the "pil of bones and mud," pattering and splashing.

Drops of rain fell.

The rain intensified, rapidly washing away the mud piled on the remains.

The forensic doctors' eyes nearly popped out of their sockets!

Some vengeful spirits thought it was too slow, so they immediately stirred up the yin energy and drew the water from the Yellow River into the air, pouring it onto the pile of corpses and mud!

Gu Jinghui, fearing that the forensic doctors would be frightened, stepped forward and explained, "Don't be afraid, everyone... These remains were killed by a water ghost in this section of the river. After they died, their remains were suppressed under the silt of the riverbed, and their vengeful spirits were also controlled."

"Now that the water ghosts have been exorcised, these wronged souls have been freed... This rain was caused by those wronged souls."

"........."

A young forensic pathologist shivered...

He felt he would never be able to face corpses alone again!
A middle-aged forensic doctor shouted, "Reduce the water flow...reduce the water flow, please don't wash the remains back into the river."

Gu Jinghui laughed and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Huang... These are their own remains. It's a matter of whether they can be reincarnated, so they will definitely control their strength."

With the help of these wronged souls, the "mud" on the bones was quickly washed away.

One by one, the forensic doctors moved the clean bones to the open space and began to arrange them.

Only a very small portion of these skeletons are relatively intact; the rest have long since fallen apart due to their age, with heads and ribs separated into individual parts.

Fortunately, because they were suppressed under the silt of the riverbed and nourished by the yin energy of the water ghosts for a long time, these bones did not decay and were not afraid of breaking at the slightest touch, which greatly facilitated the work of the forensic doctors.

It took more than three hours to piece together the "skeletons".

There were a total of 128 bodies!
"So many? Twenty-six more than the wronged souls... No, if we include the water ghost I exorcised, there should be twenty-five more."

Chen Yang was somewhat surprised, but then he thought of Wang Lin's experience and felt relieved.

After Wang Lin "drowned," his remains were retrieved, and his spirit climbed ashore on its own.

Presumably, those who were killed by water ghosts also had similar circumstances to Wang Lin.

Some of the remains of the dead sank to the bottom of the water, but some of the dead unexpectedly left this place... and some of the dead have already disappeared!

The forensic doctor's reconstruction of the remains was bound to contain errors. Each wronged soul carefully sensed their own remains, but they dared not speak to Chen Yang, the "Night Wanderer," and could only trouble Gu Jinghui.

Gu Jinghui was kind-hearted, so he had no choice but to step in and help.

"Young man...that head is mine!"

“That’s my rib.”

"Hey, where are my feet...?"

After working for another hour, the work was finally completed. Chen Yang handed the remains to Ma Lin and Wang Lin, asking them to find a proper place to bury them. He then cast the Rebirth Mantra to send the souls of the dead to the underworld.

Yang Shuai also wanted to go down there, and said, "Old Chen... I heard from Gu Jinghui that you have a lot of connections down there. Could you help me smooth things over so that I can be reborn into a better family in my next life?"

He pulled on the elastic rope around his neck, trying to squeeze into the "gate of life and death".

Chen Yang pulled Yang Shuai back: "Don't rush down yet, let me smooth things over later!"

With a little training, Yang Shuai could become a qualified "ox or horse," and it wouldn't be bad if he could help me take a life or steal a soul in the future.

Chen Yang didn't leave "Yellow River Park" until 3 p.m.

He drove Gu Jinghui and Yang Shuai to the street and found a restaurant to eat at.

The waiter brought two sets of tableware.

Chen Yang: "Could you please bring another set of tableware?"

"???"

Two people, using three sets of tableware?
Are you crazy?!
Yang Shuai: "Forget it, I can only smell it anyway, I can't use the tableware."

Chen Yang smiled and said, "There has to be a sense of ritual."

After eating and drinking their fill, Gu Jinghui insisted on going to play billiards. Chen Yang had originally planned to take Yang Shuai back to the shop first, but the guy kept saying he wanted to go to the billiards room too.

After hovering by the table for a few minutes, Yang Shuai lost interest. He tied a rope to the ceiling and hung himself up, muttering, "Sigh... Ghost life is boring. I shouldn't have listened to you. I should have followed those vengeful water ghosts to be reincarnated."

Chen Yang looked around.

I discovered that there were only two tables of customers in the entire billiards hall.

At the other table were a young man and woman, whose table was in the far corner. So they said, "Yang Shuai...would you like to play a few rounds?"

Yang Shuai: "Nonsense... but I can't fight. Should I go back and get dressed?"

The "clothes" he referred to were his own human skin.

"No need to trouble yourself, just wait a moment, I'll go get you a pole."

Chen Yang took a gong (a type of ancient Chinese pole) to the bathroom, activated his Taoist "fire technique," and ghost fire shot out from his palm, igniting the gong.

These things burned for the "deceased" always burn exceptionally quickly.

In less than a minute, a male pole was burned down to just a few specks of black ash.

In the outer hall.

Yang Shuai looked at the pool cue that had suddenly appeared in his hand and shouted excitedly. He immediately untied the elastic rope and yelled, "Come on... Gu Jinghui, let Director Ding from Yuzhen teach you how to play pool."

The two people and the ghost played together until nightfall before returning to the funeral home.

The store had just opened...

Whoosh!
A gust of cold wind blew in, and after landing, it transformed into the shape of a "ruyi" (a traditional Chinese scepter symbolizing good fortune).

Pfft!
Ruyi knelt down on the ground, choking back tears, and said, "Lord Night Wanderer... please help me, save my young lady! If you're willing to help, I... I'll give you all the gold and jewels I've saved up over the years!"

"???"

Chen Yang asked in surprise, "Your young lady is the Ghost Queen of Red Mountain City. Who in the entire Wu City territory can threaten her?"

"It's the Black Mountain Demon."

Ruyi said, "After it saw Miss at the Ghost Market, it followed her to Red Mountain City and forced her to marry it... It even said that if Miss refused, it would slaughter all the dead souls in Red Mountain City!"
