Hong Kong Ghost Story: I've become an apprentice of Chung Fat-pak and will only play in the pea

That's true; only a wife can raise a son.

How can a jobless, useless man support his son?

Ah Hao covered his head in distress. Even though he no longer wanted to die, he couldn't find a way to live.

Lin Xuan and the other two noticed Ah Hao's pained expression.

Uncle You and Yin Shisan saw it all, but there was nothing they could do.

They didn't know Ah-hao's situation, and even if they did, they couldn't help him.

Neither of them held a high social standing. Uncle You was alright, though, as he owned a fried rice shop.

Yin Shisan barely makes a living by catching little ghosts and doing feng shui for people.

Recently, he was recruited by GGT and now has a basic salary of 1 yuan per month, which has made his life a little better.

But it's clearly impossible for him to help Ah Hao solve his problems.

Lin Xuan noticed Ah Hao's pain, thought for a moment, and said, "You used to be a celebrity, right? You look somewhat familiar."

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Ah Hao nodded. Remembering that Lin Xuan was his savior, he said, "I used to make kung fu movies, and I was considered a pretty big star."

"However, kung fu movies have declined in popularity, and I've completely run out of acting opportunities."

Ah-hao shook his head bitterly as he looked on, a sight that was quite heartbreaking.

Kung Fu Movie?

Lin Xuan's heart moved slightly.

In the movie from his past life, Ah-hao was a zombie movie actor. The decline of zombie movies led him to commit suicide in this building.

Some even say that Uncle You and the zombies were hallucinations that Ah Hao had before he died.

But in this world, reality is clearly different from the movies.

Lin Xuan thought for a moment and said, "If kung fu movies don't work out, have you ever thought about switching to something else, like ghost movies or zombie movies?"

"I don't know if you've seen the news, but recently there have been a lot of zombie and ghost sightings in Hong Kong, which has attracted a lot of attention. If ghost movies and zombie movies were made, they would probably become very popular, and you might become a sensation again."

Lin Xuan's words stirred something in Ah Hao's heart.

Ghost movies and zombie movies—for some reason, the thought of making these two types of films gave Ah-hao a strong premonition that they might actually succeed.

Even if it doesn't work out, as long as he has films to make, at least he won't starve.

"Thank you."

Ah Hao looked up at Lin Xuan and said very sincerely.

He plans to give it a try.

Even if it doesn't work out, we can always make other films.

After experiencing the twin ghosts, Ah-hao will no longer have the idea of ​​committing suicide.

Calm Ah Hao down.

Lin Xuan, Uncle You, and Yin Shisan then left the room.

"I never imagined that he used to be a star, and now he's fallen to this state."

Yin Shisan shook his head with a sigh.

He had seen one or two of Ah-hao's movies before, but Ah-hao had changed a lot since then, and he didn't recognize him at first.

Uncle You nodded. "Everyone has times when they fall into a low point, and at those times they always need someone to lend a hand to get through it."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan smiled and looked at Uncle You, "Uncle You, are you going through a low period right now? Joining GGT might just be your lucky break, and you're about to take off."

“That’s right!” Yin Shisan exclaimed excitedly. “Uncle You, why don’t you and I form a Maoshan duo and go ghost hunting in GGT? Our names will definitely be known throughout GGT.”

Faced with their persuasion, Uncle You smiled and shook his head.

"Forget it, I'm too old, I don't have the drive anymore, I'm not going to compete with you young people."

"It's actually quite nice to cook fried rice here. The neighbors are all very kind, and we've been doing this for over ten years. I really can't do the job of using talismans to exorcise ghosts!"

"If there are any monsters or freaks around here, I'll take care of them; I'll just do it as a side job!"

Uncle You is over 50 years old and has a stable mindset; he no longer wants to risk his life.

Besides, he's old and frail now, not as good as he used to be. If he encounters a really fierce ghost or zombie, he won't be able to escape.

Why work so hard for that little bit of money?

A basic salary of 1 yuan a month is already quite a lot.

Uncle You has made his decision and will not easily change it.

Seeing this, Yin Shisan sighed, still feeling very regretful.

The three of them took the elevator downstairs.

Got to the first floor.

Lin Xuan and his two companions had just stepped out of the elevator.

Then a dirty woman with disheveled hair barged in.

Behind her followed a little boy with white hair.

Swish!

Just as she rushed up to Lin Xuan, the woman stopped abruptly, staring straight at him without moving.

The white-haired boy behind her also stopped, grabbed the woman's sleeve, and looked at Lin Xuan and the other two with curiosity, especially at Lin Xuan for a long while.

"Ah Feng, you've taken Xiao Bai running around again," Uncle You said.

Then, she explained to Lin Xuan, "This is our neighbor, Ah Feng. Ever since her husband died, she's been acting crazy. She also has a son to raise, and she's very pitiful."

Lin Xuan knew almost everything Uncle You had said.

Ah Feng's husband was the beastly teacher who violated the twin female ghosts, and he was killed by them in retaliation.

Ah Feng possesses the ability to see ghosts, allowing her to see the spirits of the twin female ghosts. It's likely that she was driven mad by the twin female ghosts.

Lin Xuan focused his spiritual energy and consciousness into his eyes and looked at Ah Feng.

This is an application he discovered after breaking through the limitations of geomancy; it allows him to directly see ghosts and the souls of people.

Upon closer inspection, it was indeed discovered that Ah Feng's three souls were unstable and her seven spirits were restless.

According to folklore, this person was so frightened that they lost their soul.

Fortunately, Ah Feng's condition was not too serious, and she would even occasionally regain consciousness on her own.

Lin Xuan thought for a moment, then took out a calming talisman from the cloth bag he carried with him and handed it to Ah Feng.

Ah Feng instinctively reached out and took it.

With the ability to see ghosts, Ah Feng can see things that ordinary people cannot.

She had just stopped running because of Lin Xuan.

As a geomancer, Lin Xuan was born with spiritual consciousness. Not only was his physical body powerful, but his soul was also incredibly strong, far surpassing that of ordinary people.

In Ah Feng's eyes, it seemed very strange, something she had never seen before. Since she couldn't sense any danger, she just stared at it.

Ah Feng subconsciously took the calming talisman, and her eyes no longer stared straight at Lin Xuan; her expression softened.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan smiled slightly and said.

“Now that you can understand me, you should know that your son inherited your ability to see ghosts, and he is different from ordinary children.”

“If you want him to be safe and even go to school, work, get married and have children like a normal child, you can’t go crazy anymore, you have to change his way of life.”

"I want to offer you a job to help my master with some odd jobs. There won't be any danger, but it will be enough to support you and your child."

"Moreover, I can temporarily seal your son Xiaobai's ability to see ghosts, so he can't see those things and can grow up healthy."

"If you agree, get ready, I'll come pick you up tomorrow."

Lin Xuan said this for two reasons: first, he felt sorry for Ah Feng and wanted to help her; second, he felt that they were indeed short of manpower.

Finding the address of the grocery store was something the master and apprentice had to do themselves. It would be best if they could have someone to help out.

Ah Feng, with her ability to see ghosts, was clearly the perfect person for the task.

Not only can they help with chores, but they might also be able to help with some ghostly matters.

And then there's her son, who inherited Ah Feng's Yin-Yang eyes. He has a very high chance of having the aptitude for cultivation, and maybe his master, Zhong Fabai, will take him in as a junior brother to play with.

"Thank you, I'm willing to go with you." Ah Feng nodded, her expression joyful.

With the calming talisman in place, Ah Feng's consciousness slowly returned.

Although this calming talisman only treats the symptoms, not the root cause.

Two days later, the calming talisman lost its effect and needed to be drawn and worn again.

However, in the next two days, we will brew some calming medicine for her to drink and gradually recuperate. It won't be long before she recovers.

Once Ah Feng regained consciousness, she knew that Lin Xuan was telling the truth. Even if it wasn't for her, she would be willing to do it for her son.

"I'm glad you're willing, but I can only pick you up tomorrow!" Lin Xuan said.
