Chapter 46 "He Jinyin used a special trick to lock up the eldest brother"
In front of the apartment.
The cold air was thick, and there were a few spots of water dripping at the door.
Before Tan Wenjie's hand touched the door handle, he heard a "click" and the door automatically unlocked, followed by a creaking sound.
It was pitch black inside.
Fang Zining no longer had her previous composure. She completely shrank behind Tan Wenjie, pulling at the corner of his clothes to poke her head into the room, then retracted her head.
Suddenly, a female corpse soaked in water appeared out of nowhere.
"what--!"
The scream almost tore Tan Wenjie's eardrums. He quickly took action, clamped Fang Zining's neck under his armpit with his right arm, and covered her mouth with his left hand.
"Mmm!" Fang Zining opened her eyes wide.
"Hehehe~" A strange laughter came from the female corpse, and the other party slowly changed into a female ghost with long wet hair.
Although she is a female ghost, she has been dead for decades, so Tan Wenjie calls her an old ghost.
Zi Ning, who was like a fool, struggled violently, closed his eyes and tried to get on Tan Wenjie's body. He actually broke free from Tan Wenjie's control and locked Tan Wenjie's neck with his backhand. But how could Tan Wenjie let others take advantage of him? He had always been clean and pure... Didn't break free? He just didn't realize that the other party had taken advantage of him. It seems that he still needs to learn martial arts for close combat with others in the future.
It was also his own negligence. He did not expect Zi Ning to be so good at close combat. With one move, "He Jinyin used a special move to lock up the eldest senior brother", Tan Wenjie was unable to break free.
But it won't hinder his communication now, so let the other party take advantage first. However, you have to add 500 yuan for mental damages when settling the bill.
Tan Wenjie held Zining's buttocks with both hands and looked at the female ghost in front of him with a calm expression, but he still remembered a very famous line from the other party, "Love without material is a pile of loose sand", this face is too deeply tied to the line.
"I need your help with something." said Tan Wenjie.
Jiang Xue just thought it was a thief. It was not the first time she had to deal with such a situation, but she did not expect that the man in front of her was not scared.
It’s just that the man and woman in front of me look a little weird. Even if I’m a ghost, there’s no need for them to chat with me in this way.
She spoke in a soft and sweet voice: "Who are you?"
Tan Wenjie said, "Ghost catcher."
The female ghost Jiang Xue, who was originally smiling, suddenly changed her expression.
"I know it was you who taught Huang Yongfa how to catch ghosts. Don't worry, I'm not here to break you up. I met him at a tea restaurant today." Tan Wenjie said. He, Tan Baiwan, never threatened anyone, but it was different with ghosts. He always chopped first and asked later. Now that he could endure his temper and not take action, he was considered to have a good temper, but it was impossible for him to speak without threats.
He treated Jiang Xue like this now because he was absolutely sure that the other party was a ghost obsessed with love. Otherwise, there was no point in negotiating terms with a ghost. Fighting with a ghost, if he mercifully let the other party go, he would be in danger. He always put his own life first.
The female ghost Jiang Xue was also a "love-brained person". She died for love during her lifetime and she died for love again. So when Tan Wenjie mentioned Huang Yongfa, she almost immediately believed what Tan Wenjie said. It was simply that mentioning "Huang" lowered her IQ. This is what a love-brained person is like.
Before Jiang Xue could open her mouth to speak, she heard Tan Wenjie say, "You don't want Huang Yongfa to live like this for the rest of his life, do you?"
Zi Ning, who had locked up Tan Wenjie, stopped struggling when she heard the two people chatting and quietly opened her eyes. The conversation just now sounded a little bit wrong to her. Then she found that she was hanging on Tan Wenjie and locked him tightly with the classic trick of the train bento.
Upon realizing that the skill she had mastered unintentionally had actually injured Tan Wenjie, Zi Ning immediately blushed and loosened her arms around Tan Wenjie's neck, and her legs also loosened their grip around his waist and jumped off him.
The two people and the ghost sat down on the sofa after briefly introducing themselves.
Zi Ning was excited alone. She stretched out her hand to poke the female ghost Jiang Xue, but her hand went through her. There was a hint of coldness, which made her feel frightened and surprised. It felt so magical that she poked her again.
When Jiang Xue looked over, Zi Ning immediately shrank back to Tan Wenjie, but Tan Wenjie pressed his hand on her face and blocked her move.
"You are about to be reincarnated." Tan Wenjie went straight to the point.
Jiang Xue suddenly looked up: "How do you know?"
Then the female ghost nodded and said: "Ah Fa has been doing good things and helping ghosts. He has helped me shorten the time so that I can reincarnate earlier."
Helping ghosts fulfill their wishes can shorten their waiting time and allow them to reincarnate earlier.
If you help ghosts fulfill their wishes, you can obtain magic money.
Tan Wenjie was thoughtful. He always felt that this money was a bit like employment fee, and it was very cheap.
"After you reincarnate, Huang Yongfa will definitely continue to be an exorcist. He might die one day, or he might not even have the chance to reincarnate." Tan Wenjie continued, "If there are fewer ghosts in this world, will he be more content? Maybe he will change his career and live a normal life."
"There are fewer ghosts?" The female ghost Jiang Xue was puzzled. "People die every day, how can there be fewer ghosts?"
"Ghosts should go to the underworld after death. No matter how many people die, there shouldn't be so many ghosts lingering in the world. But why are they still wandering around in the world of the living?" He asked this question to many people and ghosts, but he couldn't get an answer.
The ghost Jiang Xue held the hem of her skirt to her knees with both hands. Because it involved Huang Yongfa, she thought very seriously before answering: "Because there is no obstacle, ghosts can freely travel between the Yin and Yang worlds."
It turns out that you can come when you want and leave when you want.
"Where is the ghost catcher? Doesn't he care?" Tan Wenjie asked again.
The twin girls were violent and the ghost catcher never paid any attention to them when he came to the village to arrest people. Such cases were very common.
"They only catch what they should catch." Jiang Xue saw that she had already started to answer, so she stopped hiding it. After all, little knowledge about the underworld was nothing.
"What do you mean by catching only those who should be caught?"
"They just catch the ones they should catch." Jiang Xue looked at Tan Wenjie puzzledly, "But there are also people who can find ways to deceive them, and then they return empty-handed again and again." This is talking about Ajiu, an old man in the advanced stage of lung cancer. His ability in refining corpses is mediocre, but he can deceive the ghost catcher.
It's not that he looks down on Ah Jiu, but compared with Uncle Jiu, Shi Jian and others, the two are not on the same level. In terms of magical attainments alone, Tan Wenjie dares to say that he is an absolute master in the local area. Others can't blow a big hole in the wall with a palm thunder.
Tan Wenjie immediately changed the way he asked, "How did Huang Yongfa help you shorten your reincarnation time? And how did you use your life span in the next life to extend his life span?"
How did you two get stuck with the bug and still help each other push their butts? Explain in detail!
This time Jiang Xue's expression changed. She didn't expect that everyone in front of her knew that she helped Huang Yongfa prolong his life. But if he knew so much, he should not be unaware of the inside story.
"This is very normal in the underworld." Jiang Xue could only say.
Another one saying that!
It is normal to travel back and forth between the Yin and Yang worlds, and it is also normal to help others prolong their lives. Combined with his previous reaction when he worshipped Zhou Cang in the Guandi Temple, Tan Wenjie always felt that this world seemed to have no gods at all, and everything was running in a broken and flawed way.
That is why there are so many sneaky things happening, and it is even common for people to look pitiful when they are alive, but do whatever they want after they die.
"I forgot that people can also go to the underworld freely." said Tan Wenjie.
There is no barrier between Yin and Yang; humans and ghosts can come and go as they please.
"What would happen if the ghost messenger saw a person?" This was what Tan Wenjie wanted to know. Ah Feng often ran into the ghost messenger, but apart from saying a few words of "Congratulations on your prosperity", he would not say anything else.
She was mentally ill and often spoke incoherently, so Tan Wenjie did not force her.
"It's best not to bump into them. They don't know how to avoid people. They just remember to do their own thing. If you bump into them, they will..."
The answer is almost obvious, the problem lies with the ghost messengers in the underworld and other things.
"Take me to the underworld."
After saying that, he didn't care whether Jiang Xue refused or not, but said to Zi Ning beside him, "I'll put a bag over your head. After 60 seconds of hypoxia, remember to untie the bag."
Only by entering a state of suspended animation through suffocation can one enter the underworld.
"Ah?" Zi Ning was stunned. Before she could decide whether to nod, she saw Tan Wenjie had found a bag to wrap his head, and started squatting and doing push-ups on the spot to quickly consume oxygen.
When the oxygen in his body was exhausted and he fell on the sofa, Zining had to quickly take out his mobile phone to set the timer, then put his other hand on the bag, ready to rescue people at any time without blinking.
The next moment, the world in front of Tan Wenjie's eyes had changed. He was in an illusory world, surrounded by thick black and white. When he looked carefully, he found that it seemed to be a garbage dump, piled with all kinds of debris. Looking up, he didn't know how high it was, he just felt that the garbage pile reached the sky.
The ghost girl Jiang Xue appeared beside him: "What are you looking for?"
Tan Wenjie, who was in soul state, glanced at his health and stamina and found that they were decreasing very slowly.
Tan Wenjie said quickly: "Take me to the place where you exchange your life span first."
The female ghost led the way, but unexpectedly, after walking a few steps, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in front of them. Ah Jiu looked at Tan Wenjie sinisterly: "Ah Jie, you are here too?"
Tan Wenjie swung his machete and chopped over.
When they were in the world of the living, even the living people were terrified when they saw the machetes of the 29th Army. But after entering the underworld, the machetes had completely returned to their original state. Dozens of ghost heads with hoods and mustaches were seen coiled on the machetes, wailing and screaming.
Ajiu's face changed and he was killed by the sword before he could finish his words.
"You don't even want to pay the legal fee?" Tan Wenjie had already figured out the characteristics of his abilities, and everything had to be related to the "plot". But today he came with a knife, and he would chop down anyone who got in his way, regardless of whether he had experience or not.
Tan Wenjie turned to look at Jiang Xue and found that she was also trembling and hiding in the distance, so he immediately put away the knife.
"What happened just now seemed like a ghost pretending to be someone you know to trick you." Jiang Xue explained on the side and secretly glanced at Tan Wenjie. This man was really fierce, completely different from Ah Fa. Ah Fa would persuade people kindly when he was doing exorcism.
Tan Wenjie nodded.
He couldn't tell whether he was lying or not, but it all made the same difference to him. No matter whether Ah Jiu just now was real or fake, he would just chop him off.
Persuade? He is not good at talking, so it is better to kill the other party first and then talk. He will not lose in an argument.
Winding deeper and deeper, they came from the messy garbage dump to a wasteland, and the sky and the earth were left with only black and white.
"Is this the place?" Tan Wenjie looked around, and suddenly an idea popped into his head.
Give, get, sacrifice, exchange...
That consciousness was very generous and directly stuffed the "rules of the game" into his head like pouring water.
"What bullshit!"
Tan Wenjie finally understood why all the ghosts took it for granted. It turned out that there were only rules in the underworld. There was no one to look after the underworld, and those ghost messengers were just "programs" born out of illusion. The rigid programs could easily be used to search for souls, and of course they returned empty-handed several times, and could only wander back and forth and accomplish nothing.
As for the fact that there is no barrier between the Yin and Yang worlds, it has been like this for a long time.
"Should I ask a god to come and keep order, or should I build a wall myself to separate the Yin and Yang worlds?"
No matter which one it is, he can't do it. He is just an ordinary small town richest man, an ordinary Tan Baiwan. He is not good enough to handle the big things of yin and yang.
As he was thinking, Tan Wenjie turned around and found that hundreds of ghosts had surrounded him. His hands were itching, so he raised his machete and looked at the ghosts: "I think you must have unfulfilled wishes in the world of the living. Tell me, one for each of you, and you are not allowed to leave until you have finished!"
"Will you tell me or not? If not, I'm going to start chopping!"
