Episode 11 Ghosts
As he walked home, Li Yan had already temporarily put aside the matter of Wang Jie and Yang Xuejing. Although Wang Jie had shown him a hint of resentment, the gap in their abilities was too great, so Li Yan didn't take him to heart at all.
Now, he is thinking of how to make a fortune in a short time. When he thinks of the middle-aged fat man who came to his house yesterday evening to ask for debt, he feels very uncomfortable in his heart.
After all, he is not the same as before, his body is weak and unable to keep up with his thoughts, simply put, he is a fool. As a strong person, Li Yan, who once dominated the universe, would never allow himself or his loved ones to be in a weak position.
The way of the immortal, free and easy, for many years, he had long been accustomed to grasping his fate in his own hands, now, he naturally did not allow his family to remain in a state of poverty.
From what he has learned in recent days, he found that although he had many ways to make money, due to his own conditions, it seemed that none of them could earn him enough money in a short period of time.
Going to steal and rob, can indeed gain a lot of wealth, but Li Yan is not willing to do so, unless he encounters those who should be stolen and robbed, he also has his own principles and bottom line.
Lost in thought, he unknowingly arrived at the entrance of the residential area. At this moment, a white paper suddenly flew into his face with the wind, and Li Yan subconsciously stretched out his hand to catch it, grasping the paper in his hand.
What the heck, Li Yan flipped his hand in front of his eyes and only then did he realize that it was a small advertisement. He had originally intended to casually throw it away, but after scanning the content with his eyes, he couldn't help but put it back.
"Haunted house, urgently seeking a master to rescue, generous reward.........."
"Huh? This ad is quite unusual, I didn't expect that in this era where science is paramount, there would still be people distributing such ads. Li Yan shook his head with a bitter smile, thinking whether he should throw away the paper, but his gaze fell on the contact information at the back instead."
Is the pay handsome? Well, this matter can also be considered...... Anyway, with one's own cultivation, as long as it's not encountering some powerful ghost fairy, ordinary ghosts shouldn't be a problem.
What is called a ghost is the soul that remains after a person dies, and it usually enters the universe on its own after a few days, which is where most life cycles continue.
But some people die, yet because of some special reasons, their souls do not disperse and will always linger in the mortal world. This type of ghost is called a vengeful spirit, and the more severe ones are called evil spirits. Such ghosts can already be considered as having achieved a certain level of cultivation, and are one category among the countless cultivators.
Li Yan had previously traveled between the stars and galaxies, and had not infrequently interacted with this kind of ghost cultivator. He naturally knew that the Wheel of Rebirth was a mysterious existence in the midst of the heavens and the myriad universes, a divine rule between heaven and earth. Even on every planet with living beings, there were realms defined by the Wheel of Rebirth, as well as the Underworld, specifically responsible for governing those ghostly entities formed from lives that had died unnatural deaths.
Yesterday evening, he just had a brief excursion of his primordial spirit, and it caught the attention of the underworld's top experts. The cultivation of that black emissary was absolutely at the level of a ghost immortal, even if it were himself, he wouldn't necessarily have the confidence to win. It can be seen that in this world, the underworld's control over the mortal realm is still quite strict, but for some reason, they actually let ghosts wreak havoc on one side, which really made him feel somewhat puzzled.
However, this was just a fleeting thought, and Li Yan immediately put the matter aside. Anyway, no matter what the situation was, as long as he could make money, it was fine.
When he got home, Li Yan met the fat man who came to ask for debt again at the door of his house. Seeing his mother Li Ping's worried look, it also made him more determined to make this money.
That night, Li Yan waited until his mother, Li Ping, fell asleep before he made a move. His spirit left his body and transformed into a stream of light that flew towards the haunted house according to the address on the advertisement.
As a wandering immortal, the yuan Shen is virtual or real, all in one thought. Since his yuan Shen has escaped, he naturally doesn't want to be seen by people. After all, since he came to this world, he must follow the rules of this world. At least, before his strength reaches the point where nothing is forbidden.
No matter if it was his past life or the one before this physical body, he had all gone through a life of struggling to make ends meet. Therefore, Li Yan knew clearly in his heart that although money wasn't omnipotent, not having it was absolutely unbearable.
Although many people who are willing to sink use the phrase "no money can't kill" as an excuse, Li Yan knows that no money may not be able to kill, but it can drive a person crazy, and at the same time, it can also strangle a person's desire to survive. If not, his mother Li Ping would not have been worried about debt for a long time.
So, for the sake of that so-called generous reward, Li Yan had no choice but to personally come and take a look at the things in the other family's house to see if they were the same as what he had imagined.
Riding the wind, he naturally moved extremely fast. In just a moment, Li Yan had traversed a long distance and arrived at the haunted place mentioned on the advertisement paper. As he looked around, this was actually an upscale villa district, and the haunted one was a luxurious villa among them.
Although it was dark, Li Yan still saw at a glance that the villa above was gathering a cluster of dark clouds, and its thickness was simply astonishing.
"My god! This is a gathering of dark clouds and evil spirits! This house, it's probably already become a haunted mansion. No wonder even the underworld doesn't dare to intervene. What kind of sin has this family committed to provoke so many vengeful ghosts... ...". Not knowing was better than knowing, one look and he jumped in fright. Li Yan was completely stunned."
"Thud, thud, thud........." At this moment, suddenly, a gust of dark wind rose, followed by a strange and eerie footsteps, echoing from afar. In the darkness, a black figure slowly emerged.
Almost at the same time, gusts of dark wind rose from his body, and faintly visible, countless vengeful spirits and ghostly shadows could be seen, hazy and flickering.
A ghost on top of the body? I've seen many, but having over 100,000 ghosts possessing one person's body at once is truly an unprecedented event. Even Li Yan has never encountered such a thing before.
"You? You can actually see me? It seems that you're not an ordinary person! Are you the one the Yang family invited to deal with us?" The newcomer spoke slowly, with a hint of surprise in his voice, which was hoarse and low, like the whispers from the depths of the underworld.
"You, are actually a living person?" Li Yan suddenly turned his gaze, directly looking at the newcomer. Although it was pitch black at night, it didn't prevent him from seeing that the newcomer seemed to be a young man in his early twenties, with a pale face and a body as thin as a skeleton.
Logically speaking, such a person would be slightly closer to yin energy and would immediately fall seriously ill and die. However, this person happens to carry the weight of 1 million vengeful spirits on his body, yet he is completely unscathed. Moreover, it seems that these 100,000 vengeful spirits are constantly providing him with vitality.
A bitter smile appeared on the young man's face as he said, "What living person? I've been dead for forty years."
"Nonsense, are you dead or alive, don't I know it clearly?" Upon hearing this, Li Yan couldn't help but frown and immediately shouted: "Alright, stop talking nonsense. Tell me, what's the purpose of your visit here? Don't tell me you came here just to create a haunted place where not even birds would shit..."
