Chapter 490 5
"Master Chen, please get up and sit down to talk." Yunyi gestured. It's only been a few days, and his whole body is already shrouded in black energy. At this rate, he'll be feasting in less than half a month.
"Miss Fang, please save me." Chen Guoliang's eyes were red, and he couldn't even stand up. "I've prepared two hundred thousand taels, I..."
“Master Chen, that was the previous price. Now, if you want to live, it’s 500,000 taels, no bargaining.” Yunyi interrupted him, “That was the previous price. Now, if you want to live, it’s 500,000 taels, no bargaining.”
"Huh? Didn't you say it would be 200,000 taels in three days?"
"That's on the premise that you haven't sought treatment from other people."
"But……"
"It's fine if you want to find someone cheap, but at least find someone with some ability. And what happened? You found a liar. Not only did you not drive away the female ghost, you even angered her. In just a few days, her power has increased greatly. In less than three days, she will evolve into a vengeful ghost. You've heard of vengeful ghosts, right? Their price is naturally incomparable to that of ordinary ghosts."
"This……"
"Master Chen, would you like me to explain the different levels of ghosts and monsters to you?"
Chen Guoliang's lips trembled slightly, then he twitched the corner of his mouth: "Heh, this... this ghost even has different levels?"
"How novel! People are divided into different classes, so ghosts should be divided as well."
"Then... tell me?"
Yunyi's lips twitched: "Let's leave aside the higher-ups for now and talk about the lower-level ghosts. After all, as ordinary people, we don't have much chance to come into contact with ghosts above the Ghost King level. So let's start with the very beginning. When a person who has just died becomes a ghost, they will be taken to the underworld by the ghost messengers. There, the judge will send them to be reincarnated according to their merits in life. Some will continue to be human, some will become animals, and some will be unable to be reincarnated and will be sent directly to the eighteen levels of hell..."
"They've already descended to the underworld, so why is this female ghost still attached to me?"
"This is what I'm going to say next. So many people die, but many of them die unnaturally, meaning they die unjustly. The resentment of such ghosts is too great, and often even the ghost messengers can't handle them. So, they linger in the human world, aiming for revenge. Once such a ghost finds a target for revenge, it will continuously devour other lesser ghosts or absorb the yang energy of its enemy to increase its power. When its power reaches a certain level, such a ghost can no longer be afraid of light. As for the female ghost on you, it's because that fake master's actions angered her, causing her resentment to surge..."
Chen Guoliang couldn't help but swallow. Although it was the middle of summer, he felt a chill all over his body.
“Resentment can enhance the abilities of ghosts,” Yunyi continued to seduce him. “Master Chen, the ghost inside you can already wander around the yard for a while. Once it becomes a vengeful spirit, it might just take over your soul and become you…”
"I'll give it to you." Chen Guoliang didn't want to hear any more. "But I only have two hundred thousand taels of silver notes with me right now, Miss Fang. I'll have someone go and get them in a bit."
“Okay.” Yunyi nodded. “As long as the money is there, I will catch the ghost for you immediately.”
The female ghost Sparrow clinging to Chen Guoliang: ...
Are you really going to protect bad guys for money?
But are you sure you can do it? That old Taoist priest was all show and no substance; she was so scared she peed her pants after he only showed himself for a moment.
Chen Guoliang sent his trusted aide to fetch the silver.
Yunyi sent Su Mu along to help.
The confidant returned half an hour later, carrying a wooden box in his arms, which he respectfully placed on the table upon entering.
Yunlu couldn't wait to step forward. They had already counted 200,000 taels, and now there were 300,000 taels in the box. It was such a lot of money! It was so satisfying to look at.
Seeing that Yunlu nodded, Yunyi knew the number was correct, so she gave Chen Guoliang a talisman: "Exorcising ghosts also requires the right time, place, and people. Here's a talisman for you so you can at least get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow at midnight, I will come to your residence to exorcise the ghost for you."
"Thank you, Miss Fang." After Chen Guoliang accepted the talisman, he didn't know if it was just his imagination, but the cold feeling he had felt earlier disappeared instantly. As soon as he stepped out of the house and was exposed to the sun, he broke out in a sweat. It was so hot in June!
"Why did you leave me here?" Que'er wanted to follow Chen Guoliang, but found that she couldn't leave at all. She could only wander around the flower hall. Finally, she could only stop in front of Yunyi. "Hey, talk to me. You should be able to see me."
"Because you are a ghost, if you stay in a person's body for too long, it will damage your future fortune." Yunyi looked at Que'er, "I am saving you."
"I don't need it. I just want to make that bastard Chen Guoliang die without a burial place."
"He won't have a good ending, but you can't afford to waste your whole life on this, and then you have to waste your next life too, right?"
"What can I do?" Sparrow shed tears of blood. "I died so tragically, I just want revenge. I don't care about the next life, I want to kill that bastard so he won't harm other people again."
"You've been with him for two years, haven't you? He's rich. Even if he harms others, he can settle things with money. Even your parents were settled by accepting two hundred taels of silver."
The sparrow lowered its head; what it said was indeed true.
"We've already died in vain in this life. Wouldn't it be better if we tried to be reborn into a good family in the next life and live a good life?"
"But he..."
"I told you, he won't end up well."
"so what should I do?"
"Stay with me for now, and I'll send you to be reincarnated when the opportunity arises."
"Okay." Sparrow nodded.
Yunyi called Yang Chunni and her husband out and introduced them to each other, so they could keep each other company in the future.
Que'er was shocked, and then very glad that she hadn't fought back, otherwise she probably would have been beaten to a pulp.
Yang Chunni was quite happy to see Que'er. Although she was happy with her husband, she also liked having a sister to talk to.
"I've divided the space of the peach wood pendant. You all have your own rooms, so there won't be any interference between you. There are currently nine rooms available. First come, first served." Yunyi stroked the peach wood pendant. Before, it was just the two ghost couple, so it didn't matter how they lived. Now that there are more ghosts, they need to have their own private space, especially since there's also a ghost couple who need to have their own married life.
"Miss, will there be any more ghost friends coming in the future?" Yang Chunni crawled into the peach wood pendant, looked around, and then chose a room.
"Who knows?" Yun Yi stretched. "After all, quite a few people have attracted ghosts, I can't just stand by and watch them die, can I?"
"Haha," Yang Chunni laughed, "Miss, I have a feeling you're only after the money."
"Oh dear, you figured it out." Yunyi chuckled. "After all, there are many places where money is needed to support an army and to stage a rebellion."
