Chapter 15: The Unknown Ghost

  Remember in one second, wonderful internet for free!

  When Yitian heard Old Man Xu's words, he was suddenly shocked. He had followed Old Man Xu to perform rituals many times, but had never encountered such a situation before.

  It is often said that death has no complete corpse and the soul of the dead finds it hard to disperse.

  It's easy to summon back the soul of a corpse, but wanting to help it ascend is another matter altogether. If not done properly, the vengeful spirit may become a malevolent ghost due to its deep-seated resentment. It's possible that instead of helping, you might end up bringing trouble upon yourself!

  Although Old Xu's fortune-telling and face-reading skills are slightly inferior, he is still quite skilled at doing rituals and has a small reputation in the surrounding towns.

  He has a treasure called the Five-Colored Luminous Leaf, shaped like a willow leaf, crystal clear and translucent. Under sunlight, it forms a five-colored glow. When held in front of one's eyes, it can distinguish between ghosts and shapes. At the same time, it also has a certain attacking power, shooting out like a flying dart, able to strike ghostly objects until their souls scatter.

  As for this point, it was just Old Xu talking to himself, and Yi Tian had never seen him use it before, thinking that Old Xu was just boasting.

  After repeated requests from Yitian, Old Xu finally couldn't withstand the pressure and agreed to take Yitian with him.

  All necessary items were prepared and when several people arrived at the village entrance, they saw a Lexus sedan.

  It's not hard to see the family situation of the employer from this point on.

  Through the conversation in the car, Yitian learned that his employer's family was a large family in the town. His parents had passed away early, and there were five brothers living together. The family was relatively wealthy, although they didn't have any land, but they took advantage of the urban transformation to operate a brick factory and a sand quarry, which made them a well-known rich household far and near.

  The car drove for less than an hour before arriving at Zhang's home.

  At a glance, three three-story buildings stand in a square shape, the main gate is high and connected to the building, the wall is carved with dragons, the red iron gate is wide open, and people enter from time to time. The stone lions are majestic in front of the gate, looking down on the visitors.

  After getting off the car, Yi Tian couldn't help but glance at this house that only the rich could afford to live in, looking very envious.

  "It's really awesome! I wish I could live in such a house one day!" Yi Tian sighed.

  Just then, a loud and clear voice rang out: "Yi Tian!"

  As he walked into the courtyard and saw that it was a black cow, Yi Tian smiled all over his face and waved at the other party.

  As they walked, Old Xu asked, "How is it? Do you know each other?"

  "Yeah, he's my classmate, but his family isn't from this town! How did he end up here?" Yi Tian said with some puzzlement.

  "You guys chat first, I'll go in and take a look, oh, and don't get me into trouble!"

  "Don't worry, old man, I know what I'm doing!"

  After Old Xu went in, Yi Tian walked up to Hei Niu and said, "Hei Niu, what brings you here?"

  "Ah, I was just about to ask you, haha." He patted Yitian's chest and continued: "This is a relative of mine, the one who just went in is my uncle Zhang Wangyou, he's the second son in his family."

  "Haha, I didn't know your family had such a wealthy relative. By the way, which one of them died?"

  Just as Yi Tian was asking, Hei Niu put his arm around Yi Tian's shoulder and said mysteriously: "The one who died is Lao Wu, also the youngest of the Zhang family. But this guy really had it coming to him, relying on his family having some money, he goes out every day to find mistresses, and often seduces married women. If you ask me, humph, this guy was just asking for trouble by seducing other people's wives, and that's why...!" As he spoke, Hei Niu made a slashing motion with his hand.

  Yi Tian Da nodded thoughtfully, "Then how was his head found?"

  "I bet you can't guess, it was picked up by a dog from the garbage dump! However, in that garbage dump, the police searched all over but couldn't find the body. It's been several days and they still haven't found it. His family is getting anxious, so tonight they're preparing to bury him and let him rest in peace!"

  After several years of contact, Yi Tian found that Hei Niu was a fearless and reckless young man, but he was very righteous and had a strong sense of justice. The two became good friends. Whenever Hei Niu didn't know what to do in certain situations, it was usually Yi Tian who came up with a plan for him.

  "Right, what brings you here?" Black Bull asked.

  "I'm here to accompany my old master for the Buddhist ceremony." Rubbing his belly, Yi Tian raised an eyebrow and smiled: "I'm a bit hungry, go get me some good food!"

  "Haha, okay..."

  Then the two of them entered Zhang's house with laughter and conversation, and when they arrived inside, they found that many people were mourning here, with the sound of suona, cymbals, and wailing voices rising and falling.

  Yitian was now in an empty room eating with Heiniu without any courtesy.

  "Haha, Heiniu, you're really something! I asked you to get some food and you actually brought back braised pork belly and roasted chicken. Well, I've taken note of this favor!" Yi Tian said with his mouth full.

  "Come on, what's the point of saying that? We're good brothers, aren't we? These are just small things. If you're not full, I'll go get some more for you later!" Hei Niu said with a bright smile.

  "Haha, okay, okay..."

  But before he could finish speaking, his eyebrows suddenly furrowed and his hair stood on end!

  The copper coins 'Kaiyuan Tongbao' given by Long Aotian seemed to have a reaction, and they started clinking loudly in his pocket.

  Yi Tian was stunned on the spot, his expression a bit off. Hei Niu asked: "Yi Tian, are you okay? Are you choking? I'll go get you some water to drink!"

  "Don't move!" After shouting loudly, Yi Tianlan looked around with a stiff face and said: "I don't know which friend has come? The two of us will eat something here and leave. If we disturb you too much, please forgive us!"

  After waiting for three seconds, the Kaiyuan Tongbao in his pocket finally calmed down.

  He let out a sigh of relief and thought to himself, "Luckily the other party didn't have any malicious intentions, or else today would have been a real hassle. The fact that they can appear in broad daylight shows just how heavy the yin energy is, how deep the evil energy is. They're definitely a vengeful spirit... could it be that Zhang Laowu?"

  Just as Yi Tian was lost in thought, Hei Niu asked somewhat inexplicably: "Yi Tian, who were you just talking to?"

  Knowing that the other party had left, Yi Tian furrowed his brow and responded: "Ah... forget it, you wouldn't believe me even if I told you!"

  "Hey, you haven't even said anything yet, how do you know if I believe it or not?" Hei Niu shouted.

  "Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you! It was when we were eating that a ghost appeared in this very room!"

  "What?" Hei Niu stood up directly from his chair, looking around with full vigilance.

  "Don't look anymore, it's already gone!" After saying that, Yi Tian continued to gnaw on the pork knuckle.

  "I'm telling you, Yitian, are you kidding me? Where did this ghost come from in broad daylight?" Hei Niu stared at Yitian with his big cow-like eyes, completely disbelieving what he said.

  Yitian held the bone stick in his hand and knocked it on the black cow's head, "It was you who made me say it, after I finished saying it, you didn't believe me. I've never joked about serious matters, don't you still understand me?"

  "It doesn't seem like you're joking," said Hei Niu. "I'm not saying I don't believe you, but could it be that your feeling is wrong?"

  "Hmph, I didn't feel anything wrong, I have a treasure on me that will react when it encounters a ghost! To be honest with you, I'm one of the candidates for the leader of the Wudang Sect, my cultivation is so deep that you can't even imagine it! If I couldn't see through this small matter, how could I survive in this world?"

  At this point, Hei Niu's eyes lit up, "Heh heh, good brother, can you let me take a look at your treasure? I'd like to broaden my horizons!"

  "No problem!" Yi Tian took out three Kaiyuan Tongbao coins from his pocket and handed them directly to Heiniu.

  He took over these copper coins and Black Cow was very excited to hold them in his hand.

  Just then, a man in his mid-thirties, dressed in a suit and tie, wearing glasses, walked in from outside.

  When he saw the newcomer, Hei Niu stood up and greeted: "Third Uncle, are you done with your business outside?"

  Yi Tian also stood up with Heiniu and politely shouted: "Good San Shu!" As soon as he saw the other's appearance, he could tell that he looked very similar to Zhang Lao Er, and without guessing, he knew that this was Zhang Jia Lao San.

  Zhang Lao San walked up with a smile all over his face and said: "Ah, no hurry, this young brother is..."

  "He pointed with his hand and said: 'This is my classmate, he came with his dad to do the Buddhist rituals!'"

  "Oh, I see!"

  Just as they were talking, Yi Tian Zheng was carefully observing his facial features.

  Suddenly, Zhang Lao San's dark and gloomy aura in the Yintang area caught his attention. Upon closer inspection, Yi Tian was shocked and thought to himself, "A dense blackness in the Yintang indicates great calamity, while a reddish tint amidst the blackness forebodes bloodshed. Judging from the intensity of the color, this person... is not far from death!"

  At the same time, Hei Niu also suddenly stiffened, because the three Kaiyuan Tongbao coins in his hand suddenly collided with each other, making a "clattering" sound.

  He mechanically turned his head to look at Yitian, with a crying face seeking opinions, and said: "Yitian, this time I really believe it, it's really daytime to see ghosts, you think of a solution quickly!"
