Chapter 84: Chapter 82: The joys and sorrows of humans and ghosts are not the same!
Translator: 549690339
Ma Long, who followed Xu Yang back into the bathroom, couldn’t help but feel stunned after witnessing the scene, and thought, “There’s something wrong with Xu Yang’s mental state… Why does he seem so excited every time he sees a ghost?”
It’s better not to think about it at all.
With that thought, Ma Long shivered even more!
“Is there something wrong with Xu Yang’s sexual orientation?”
“Or does he actually like * ghosts…and then * came out with a mental illness?”
“And every time I’m with Xu Yang, I always run into evil spirits… Is he the reincarnation of bad luck?”
Ma Long secretly made up his mind that he must stay away from Xu Yang at night in the future.
As for Xu Yang…
He tapped on the mirror, muttering some words to scare the ghost, but…contrary to his wishes, the female ghost in the mirror did not reveal herself, and Xu Yang didn’t even gain any “merit points.”
Xu Yang’s face turned cold, and he took out an ink brush, dipped it in cinnabar ink, and circled around the mirror on the spot.
“Xu Yang, what are you doing?”
Ma Long was puzzled.
Xu Yang explained, “That female ghost is hiding in the mirror right now… This way, she won’t be able to leave the mirror… Right, Ma Long, go find a waiter.”
Ma Long left the bathroom and quickly called a waiter.
“Help me find a piece of black cloth…and then help me take down this mirror.”
Upon hearing Xu Yang’s request, the waiter was dumbfounded.
He had been working in the service industry for several years, but this was the first time he had seen someone take off a mirror in the bathroom of a clubhouse.
H
Sorry, sir…although a mirror isn’t worth much, it’s still the property of the clubhouse. According to our regulations… alright, boss, 1’11 do it now!”
Before he could finish his sentence, he saw Xu Yang pull out a few hundred bills. Quickly glancing at them, it must have been at least seven or eight hundred dollars. The waiter immediately beamed with joy, took the money, and ran out.
Swiftly.
The waiter returned with a pair of pliers and a black cloth.
He carefully removed the nails securing the mirror, took it down, covered it with the black cloth, and handed it to Xu Yang.
Xu Yang carried the mirror and said, “Let’s go, Ma Long. Time to go home.”
Ma Long:”…”
What do you mean go home? There’s still plenty of alcohol left to drink, and a whole table of fruit plates and barbecue that hasn’t been touched.
However.
When he saw Xu Yang holding the mirror as if it were a precious treasure, Ma Long swallowed his words.
It seems there really is something wrong with Xu Yang’s mind…”
“Forget it, forget it.”
He is a Daoist and must know more about ghosts than 1 do. If he wants to be like Ning Chaisen, let him be…”
Outside the clubhouse.
Ma Long called a taxi to go home, while Xu Yang excitedly returned to the funeral parlor.
As soon as he stepped into the funeral parlor, Yang Yin and Liu Shishi looked over simultaneously.
To be precise, they were looking at the mirror in Xu Yang’s hands.
As ghosts.
Their ability to sense Yin energy is very keen, especially Liu Shishi. Even with the black cloth covering the mirror, she can still see through it. Her pupils reflected an image of a female ghost covered in blood.
For a moment, the temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.
Xu Yang quickly explained, “Shishi, don’t get the wrong idea… This time is different from before. 1 brought this female ghost back to help her pass on.”
Liu Shishi pulled up a short video on her phone and said, “This is your home. It’s your freedom to do whatever you want.”
Meanwhile, Yang Yin kept her head down and didn’t say a word.
She understood what “before” meant in Master Xu’s words and felt a little guilty.
Xu Yang was taken aback for a moment.
That’s right!
This is my home.
Who I bring home is my choice, right?
So why does it feel like I’m sneaking in a mistress?
“Could it be… that 1 have feelings for Shishi?”
“Do 1 see Shishi, deep down, as the lady of the house?”
“Wait a minute…”
Xu Yang shook his head in horror, wondering, “Why would 1 have such a thought? Shishi is a ghost; she’s not human… But then again, there’s nothing wrong with ghosts. I could learn from Ning Chaisen and practice that spiritual intercourse technique.”
As he let his imagination run wild, he entered the bedroom.
He placed the mirror neatly and then took out a few Daoist talismans, arranging them around the mirror.
“Ding!”
“Female ghosts are frightened, merit points +10.”
A system notification sound suddenly rang out.
The female ghost inside the mirror still didn’t reveal herself, but Xu Yang’s actions had scared her!
For ghosts, Daoist talismans are much more terrifying than guns!
Think about it.
If someone surrounded your house with guns aimed at you, wouldn’t you be scared?
The joys and sorrows of humans and ghosts do not always align…
At this moment, the female ghost in the mirror was shivering in fear.
But Xu Yang’s eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, “Little darling, now that you know you’re afraid, why don’t you show yourself?”
With that said…
He stuck another talisman to the mirror.
Hum!
Inside the mirror, the Yin energy roiled.
A ghostly figure suddenly flew out, and Xu Yang was quick to react, slapping the figure back into the mirror with a palm, and sneered, “You measly evil spirit, not even a B-level, and you dare to attack a Daoist Master?”
He recited the Golden Light Mantra and his body was engulfed in a brilliant golden light that illuminated the mirror. This caused the turbulent Yin energy inside the mirror to twist in pain, emitting wisps of black smoke.
“Ah…Ah…Ahhhh…”
A pleading voice came from the mirror, “Master, please spare me.”
Immediately after, a ghostly figure emerged from the mirror.
It was a young woman, with an unremarkable appearance, several bloody holes adorned her body, constantly oozing blood.
Xu Yang stopped reciting the Golden Light Mantra and smiled, “I can spare you, but you have to play a game with me… If you lose, there will be punishment!”
Obviously.
Last time at the broken temple, playing games with the four female ghosts had given Xu Yang a taste of sweetness.
The female ghost in the mirror was stunned.
This guy…
Does he have something wrong in his head?
Playing games with a ghost?!?
And he’s not afraid of himself when he’s turned into a ghost?
But feeling the pressure from the Daoist talismans surrounding the mirror, the female ghost had no choice but to accept and asked, “Master, what game do you want to play?”
Hide and seek?
Doesn’t seem like a good idea.
If Liu Shishi got angry, she might eat this little female ghost in one bite.
Xu Yang thought about it and said, “Let’s play rock-paper-scissors. As for the punishment… we’ll talk about it later.”
Female ghost:”…”
She said, “Master, why don’t we make it clear what the punishment is first… if someone loses, they take off a piece of clothing?”
“Fuck that!
Xu Yang was furious: “I just said that if you lose, you’ll be punished. If 1 lose, 1 lose…what can you do to me?”
“Let’s play!”
Hurry up!”
Xu Yang faced the mirror and threw out a rock.
The female ghost in the mirror was stunned and silently threw out a “cloth”.
“Do you think I’m stupid?”
Xu Yang darkened his face, flipped his hand to take out a hammer, and slapped it on a corner of the mirror.
Crack!
A corner of the mirror was directly shattered.
“Ding!”
“The female ghost is frightened, and the merit value +10.”
In the mirror, the female ghost shivered and didn’t dare to play tricks again.
Next, one person and one ghost played “rock-paper-scissors” together. Xu Yang didn’t care about anything, he just played blind. It didn’t matter if he lost; if the female ghost lost, he would hit the mirror. Each time he hit, it was a scare for the female ghost.
Soon enough.
The mirror shattered into pieces.
The female ghost hid in one of the small pieces, sobbing and crying, “Master… can we stop playing? I’m scared… I want to find my mom.”
Slap!
Xu Yang shattered that small piece, and the female ghost turned into a wisp of Yin energy and flew out.
“Ding!”
“The female ghost is frightened, merit value +1.”
Listening to the system prompt in his ear, Xu Yang understood… that this female ghost had almost been squeezed dry by himself, so he put away the hammer and reassured her, “You don’t have to be scared, I’m a good person… 1 just saw you all alone, trapped in the mirror, and 1 was worried about you being lonely and bored, so I played games with you.”
Female ghost:”…”
I’m not fucking trapped at all!
Weren’t you the one who trapped me in the mirror?
At this moment, Xu Yang’s image in the female ghost’s heart had become fierce and vicious. She didn’t dare to say anything, and could only say, “Thank you.”
It’s just a little effort; it’s not worth mentioning.”
Xu Yang waved his hand and asked, “You just said you want to see your mom?”
The female ghost choked, slowly speaking.
“Before, I was immature, and I ran away from home after arguing with my mom…”
“But then, I died an unnatural death.”
“Before I died, the thing 1 wanted to do the most was to see my mom and say sorry to her in person.”
Xu Yang suddenly realized.
Most Yin spirits and ghosts are formed through attachment or resentment.
He had thought that this female ghost had turned into a ghost because she had been stabbed to death and had a grudge. However, he hadn’t felt much resentment from her before…Now it seemed that it was not resentment, but attachment.
This female ghost had not harmed anyone, and scaring her to earn some merit was enough. It would be too much to physically transcend her.
Xu Yang pondered for a few seconds and asked, “Where is your home?”
The female ghost gave an address.
Her home was in a small town under the jurisdiction of Wu City – Jinji Town, about thirty minutes away from Wu City.
“I can take you home and let you see your mother.”
Xu Yang said, “But you should know that you are no longer a person… So, when the time comes, you can only enter her dreams and meet her in her dreams.”
“Really?”
The female ghost was overjoyed, thanking Xu Yang continuously, and followed him out of the bedroom.
After saying hello to Liu Shishi and Yang Yin, Xu Yang went downstairs, got in the car, and took the female ghost to her house.
She flew into the building and disappeared.
About an hour later….
The female ghost landed in front of Xu Yang and bowed deeply, “Thank you, Master.”
Then, her figure gradually faded.
Through the faint outline, it seemed that a door had appeared.
The figure of the female ghost entered the door.
Xu Yang looked at the door and couldn’t help but frown, “Both the people from the Spirits Management Bureau and Shishi said that the Yin-Yang Path had been cut off… which is also the main reason why there are so many Yin spirits and malevolent beings.”
“But if the way to the human world has been cut off, what is this?”
“Or…”
Is it…”
“With the revival of spiritual aura, the Yin-Yang Path… is being restored?”
He drove the car, thinking all the way while driving back. Just before he arrived at the funeral shop, a figure suddenly appeared from the side of the road.
The man had a Chinese cigarette in his mouth, waving his hand and greeting him, “Xu Yang…”
Then-
Bang!
Xu Yang snapped back to his senses, quickly stepped on the brakes, and jumped out of the car. He saw the man lying down seven or eight meters away, yelling in pain, “Xu Yang, fuck your grandpa… Are you trying to kill me?”
