I have a ghost diary

"I'm not that good-tempered either, so in the end I kicked them all out."

“This is not the end. In recent days, I have been harassed by people. At first, they offered me a lot of money; when that didn’t work, they started to threaten me overtly and covertly.”

Chu Jiang frowned upon hearing this. "Didn't you call the police?"

"I reported it, but the police only took my statement. After all, those people are only talking about it and haven't taken any real action."

“I heard that a few people were arrested a few days ago, but it was no use. They seem to be a gang.”

"Someone called again today, saying it was my last warning and that if I didn't hand over the child, they would kill me."

"This is the first time they've spoken so blatantly. I had my phone recording, and I was planning to go to the police station immediately after I got off the plane."

"Then that happened. They, they seem to have that kind of ghostly power too..." Zhang Dafu said, still somewhat shaken.

Chu Jiang fell into deep thought. Some people were searching for a Ghost Master, even willing to pay a large sum of money to "buy" one, and if they couldn't buy one, they would kill people directly.

This barbaric style of doing things reminded Chu Jiang of an underground organization in China called the "Ghost Hunter Society".

This is a dark organization that specializes in hunting down demon masters and stealing the demons from them. After all, selling each demon is a huge profit for them, much faster than smuggling or drug trafficking.

Moreover, the risk of hunting down a demon master is much lower than the risk of directly sealing a demon.

It's not just because demon masters are easier to deal with than demons, but also because when a demon master dies, it takes some time for the demon within them to revive.

As long as one can take over the demon master's corpse in time, it is easy to reseal the demon in the container.

These people, like rats in the sewers, have spread their influence throughout the country, their influence deeply entrenched.

Furthermore, since they primarily target folk exorcists, and the research institute itself is already struggling with the frequent paranormal events across the country, it's impossible for them to devote all their energy to eradicating these individuals.

So, in summary, the research institute has taken corresponding actions, but the Ghost Hunters still exist and have not been completely eradicated.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Jiang asked Zhang Dafu, "Are you taking this plane back to Yuetian City?"

Although the final destination of this flight is Luohe City, the plane will stop in Yuetian City, where some passengers will get on and off.

If the other party is going to Yuetian City, Chu Jiang can contact the person in charge, Li Bu Huo, and have Zhang Da Fu go directly to Li Bu Huo to handle the matter.

After all, this involves folk sorcerers using supernatural powers to murder ordinary people.

"No, I'm going back to my hometown to relocate the graves," Zhang Dafu answered honestly.

Chu Jiang frowned. "Relocate graves? Why would you need to relocate graves? Whose grave are you going to relocate?"

Ever since learning that ghosts really exist, Chu Jiang has been reluctant to disturb graves and tombs. Who knows, maybe a ghost will pop out from underneath?

So when he heard the fat man say he wanted to move the grave, his first thought was: Isn't this courting death?

Although relocating graves may not necessarily lead to trouble, after all, so many people die every day around the world, and there are countless corpses buried all over the globe. If they all turned into ghosts, it would have been the end of the world long ago.

However, if it were Chu Jiang, there would be no need for him to disturb his ancestors' graves.

"There's a reason for moving the grave. As the saying goes, the poor don't change their doors, and the rich don't move their graves. If I weren't forced to, I wouldn't want to move it, lest I lose my good fortune for the rest of my life."

"But this isn't something I can decide alone. The first, second, and third wives, and my fourth wife, have been arguing about this for years."

"Only recently have we reached a consensus to move my great-grandfather's grave to a feng shui treasure site that a fortune teller had already selected."

"There are rules for relocating graves, such as the saying 'seven times to move and three times not to move.'"

"The first relocation brings the collapse of the tomb; the second relocation brings the withering of vegetation; the third relocation brings rumors of promiscuity; the fourth relocation brings male thieves and female prostitutes; the fifth relocation brings strange diseases and madness; the sixth relocation brings premature death and ruin of the family; the seventh relocation brings imprisonment and extinction of the family line."

“The different branches of the Zhang family have different reasons for wanting to relocate the graves.”

"The eldest son's family always wanted to become officials, but none of his descendants passed the civil service exam; the second son's family was doing well and did not agree to move the grave, but they have had bad luck in the last two years. My second uncle was hit by a car and died, and my second grandfather also broke his leg."

"So recently the second branch of the family has softened a bit and is no longer so resistant to mentioning the relocation of the grave."

"The third branch of the family was the most determined to relocate the graves. Their family originally had some assets, but they were all squandered by the last two generations, a clear sign of premature death and family ruin."

"They said a long time ago that it was because the place where the great-grandfather was buried was not good, which affected the fortune of his descendants."

"Finally, there's my family. Our fourth branch was indifferent to the matter. Actually, I had hoped to move the graves to see if it could change my poor fate."

"But later, when I became successful in business, I felt that I absolutely could not move the grave, and I even argued with the third branch of the family about it several times."

“Those guys were so envious of my success, they all said I got lucky.”

"In short, it just dragged on like this, and no one dared to move on their own. This matter eventually requires the consent of all the families."

"Moreover, relocating graves also costs money. Hiring a feng shui master, digging up the grave, collecting the bones, transporting the bones, building a new grave, and burial—most of these things have to be done on the mountain. Which step doesn't cost money?"

"I've only been here recently, you know what I mean, brother..." Zhang Dafu said with a forced smile, offering Chu Jiang a cigarette, but Chu Jiang just waved his hand.

He had no choice but to continue, "My luck has been going downhill lately. First, I got entangled with Xiao Shun, then Xiao Shun was taken away, and now I'm being targeted by a group of malicious gangsters."

“I thought, since everyone wants to relocate the graves, let’s do it. My four branches of the family will contribute half the money, and the remaining three branches will pool together the other half.”

“I made a special trip back to my hometown to relocate the graves, partly to avoid those people. They can’t possibly chase me all the way to my hometown, can they? At worst, I’ll just change my phone number.”

Chapter 219 Three No-Movements

Chu Jiang shook his head repeatedly after hearing this, saying, "Superstition is harmful."

These guys are simply blaming all their failures in life on bad feng shui in their ancestors' graves, which is nothing short of self-deception.

Of course, this is also related to the prevalence of burial in some parts of the south; people here also generally believe in ghosts and gods, and it goes without saying that they worship gods and Buddhas on the first and fifteenth of each lunar month. This custom has long since disappeared in many parts of China.

"Where are you from? Now the relevant departments are encouraging cremation and prohibiting burial. Can you really move your graves?"

“My hometown is in Langchao City, where there is no airport, so I can only get off in Luohe City.”

"As for relocating the grave, we're not burying a new body here, we're just moving it to a different spot."

"Of course, if we apply to the relevant departments, they definitely won't approve it. But we're not going to have a big celebration or anything, we'll just do it privately, and if things go smoothly, we can complete the relocation within a day and a night."

"Moreover, before relocating the grave, we will spend money to bribe officials and embezzle funds; as long as no one reports it, we will turn a blind eye to it."

Zhang Dafu acted as if we had everything arranged perfectly.

But the more confident he became, the more Chu Jiang felt that something bad was about to happen.

"Who told you about those seven or three relocations?" Chu Jiang didn't believe the other person had such "professional knowledge."

"That's naturally a feng shui master, and he has seven rules for moving and three rules for not moving. The three rules for not moving are: fish, turtles, and snakes cannot be moved; vines entwined around a coffin cannot be moved; and warm milk cannot be moved."

Zhang Dafu then solemnly explained to Chu Jiang, "In other words, if you see fish, turtles, snakes, or other creatures when digging up a grave, you must not move the grave. This proves that this place can attract spirits to gather."

"If wisteria is found entwined around the coffin after the grave is dug up, the grave should not be moved, as this is an auspicious sign."

"Finally, if after the tomb is dug up, a misty, milky-white gas rises from the ground, it should not be moved, because this is a precious land with vitality."

"You can still dig up fish in the ground?" Chu Jiang asked, puzzled.

"It should be a loach-like creature. Loaches live in water and have a dragon-like appearance. Anyway, that's what the gentleman said," Zhang Dafu replied with a smile.

"Fine, you can go ahead and make concessions if you want, just don't let anyone die."

Chu Jiang made a casual remark, but Zhang Dafu was so anxious that he wanted to cover his mouth. However, Zhang Dafu's hand was only halfway out when he finally didn't dare to do it.

"Brother, you can't say such unlucky things," Zhang Dafu advised with a worried expression.

"Relocating a grave is a major event; a slight mistake could really kill someone. The master said there are five taboos associated with it..."

"Stop," Chu Jiang said, extending his hand. "I'm just giving you a heads-up; it's up to you whether you listen or not."

"And I'm quite curious, you know there might be ghosts in this world, so why do you still do this kind of thing?"

“It’s precisely because ghosts exist that we should do these things,” Zhang Dafu said, giving him a look that said, “Why can’t you see things clearly?” “If there really weren’t ghosts, wouldn’t that mean feng shui is a lie?”

"Since ghosts exist, it proves that the theories of feng shui and fortune-telling naturally have their mysteries."

Chu Jiang fell silent. "Alright, let's leave this topic at that. Let's get back to the matter of you being targeted by other ghost masters."

"A Ghost Master? Is that someone with special abilities like you?"

"Yes, after you go back to your hometown, go to the police station. Don't mention any criminal gangs, just say you've encountered a ghost. Then tell them the whole story, and someone will naturally help you take care of it."

"Also, let me make a call and ask for you." As he spoke, Chu Jiang took out his satellite phone. This phone uses satellite signals, which do not interfere with the signals of the aircraft's flight system.

Chu Jiang dialed Chen Yuting's number with one click and asked her to transfer the call to Captain Yuwen Ting.

Soon, Chu Jiang got through to Yuwen Ting. "Hello, this is Chu Jiang."

"Hmm, I didn't expect you to become the captain so quickly. What do you need me for?" Yuwen Ting said generously.

"It's related to a boy you took away before..." Chu Jiang described his experience today.

Yuwen Ting, after understanding what had happened, was also somewhat angry. "These guys are really reckless, shooting at ordinary people through a phone."

"That boy was indeed a deeply corrupted demon master. The research institute has a special department that takes care of such minors. After receiving appropriate treatment, the child's condition improved a lot, and he is now alive and well."

"As for Zhang Dafu's matter, tell him to report it to the police in Langchao City, and then I will coordinate with the person in charge in Langchao City."

Seeing that the other party was willing to get involved, Chu Jiang naturally agreed and hung up the phone after chatting for a few minutes.

"Alright, don't answer any calls from unknown numbers these next few days. After you report the incident to the police, someone will protect your safety."

Zhang Dafu was no longer so worried about this. He nodded and asked, "Brother, how about you come over and take a look at this grave relocation? The appearance fee is negotiable, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."

Chu Jiang chuckled. "Appearance fee? Do you really know my worth? When someone abroad invites me on a business trip to see the world, do you know what price they offer?"

As he spoke, Chu Jiang held up one finger.

Zhang Dafu swallowed hard. "One million?"

Chu Jiang shook his head.

"Ten million??" Although Zhang Dafu's business is doing well now, he really can't pull out ten million in cash right away.

“One billion US dollars, and that’s just the smallest part of the total price.” Chu Jiang wasn’t lying to him; after he gave Bruce his contact information, the two had a phone call.

Zhang Dafu was getting a little numb, and even suspected that Chu Jiang was making excuses to brush him off, but then he thought that the other party had no reason to lie to him...

"So if you want to persuade me, you'd better talk less about money. I don't need money." Chu Jiang continued to look out the porthole.

Chu Jiang is not a man with nothing to do; he has quite a few things to do.

Zhang Dafu was at a loss for words. If money didn't work, and he couldn't afford to give power, then the only option was sex.

"Hey bro, what kind of girls do you like? Even minor celebrities or models are fine."

Chu Jiang thought for a moment, "I have had similar needs recently, but it would be useless to tell you."
