Chapter 177 A Fateful Marriage 15

Seven days later, at midnight, Ning Yan brought Xu Jinchen to the village ancestral hall in Wuligang.

Ning Yan took the compass and began to destroy the formation.

Some things are hard to build, but easy to destroy. When the last key point of the formation was destroyed, the energy field in the ancestral hall underwent an indescribable change.

Xu Jinchen suddenly exclaimed "Eh!" and Ning Yan also sensed something and looked towards the place where the yin energy was gathering.

"Where were all these ghosts hiding before?"

Ning Yan was also very curious, but her first thought was that these ghosts were related to the formation in the ancestral hall.

"No matter where they're hiding, I'm going to open the gates of hell and send them to the underworld."

Lighting three incense sticks, Ning Yan began chanting incantations, forming hand seals. Soon, a black hole appeared in the ancestral hall, from which two figures emerged, one in black and one in white. Without even looking, the ghosts were none other than the Black and White Impermanence, genuine ghost immortals. Upon seeing Ning Yan, they were only stunned for a moment before respectfully bowing to her: "So it is a high deity here. We have been impolite."

Ning Yan raised an eyebrow, now certain. Before losing her memory, or rather, before her memories were sealed, she was a god.

As for what kind of god this supreme deity is, she will have to study it slowly.

Since the other party knew her, she didn't stand on ceremony. "I summoned you two here to trouble you to bring the lingering ghosts back to the underworld, so that they won't cause trouble and commit more killings after death."

Bai Wuchang respectfully said, "You're too kind, Your Excellency. This is our duty. It seems that no ghosts have entered the Underworld for many years. Now that Your Excellency has taken action, it saves us a lot of trouble."

When they say "many years," they are just being polite. The flow of time in the human world and the underworld is different. A hundred years in the human world is just a blink of an eye in the underworld. Even if there is a problem with the passage between the two worlds, they are not in a hurry.

Black Impermanence took out a golden bell and handed it to Ning Yan: "There are still many wandering souls here. Whenever the gods summon us, just shake this bell and our brothers will appear at any time."

The ghost messengers are responsible for collecting souls, and the Black and White Impermanence are the superiors of all the ghost messengers. Any ghost messenger may come when the gates of hell are opened again. The Black Impermanence gave the Soul-Capturing Bell to Ning Yan, implying that she was at his beck and call.

Ning Yan: ...Wouldn't anyone subconsciously overthink this?

The Black and White Impermanence can freely travel between the human world and the underworld, disregarding the rules. They are called ghost immortals, but they are actually one of the gods of the underworld. They are different from ghost immortals who are promoted through cultivation. The difference between the two is immeasurable. These two are at her beck and call. So, who exactly is she?

She took the Soul-Capturing Bell: "I'll return this to you before I leave this place."

Black Impermanence was surprised that they didn't take it with them, as it might be useful in other worlds.

However, if the god says no, then so be it.

Ning Yan didn't not want to take it with her; she simply couldn't take it with her.

Having said what needed to be said, the Black and White Impermanence escorted the ghosts back to the underworld. As tens of thousands of ghosts disappeared into that dark, gaping gate, the gate to the underworld vanished without a trace.

However, Ning Yan received a large amount of golden light of merit, which she gave to Xu Jinchen.

In the days that followed, Ning Yan spent her days dealing with ghostly incidents with the Seven Departments, and every night she would faithfully tell fortunes in the square.

Soon, people in J City and even other cities knew that there was a fortune teller named Ning Banxian at People's Square who was incredibly accurate in telling fortunes. Some people would even fly over just to have her tell their fortunes.

Later, Ning Yan only did three projects: exorcising ghosts, finding people, and curing diseases.

Because, according to her verification, only these three projects yielded the most merit.

Therefore, ordinary fortune telling and marriage predictions are left to other fortune tellers, since they also need to make a living.

She wasn't immune to provocation. People from major sects, unconvinced by her reputation, would fly to J Province to challenge her, but she always managed to defeat them.

No matter how much you boast, she'll slap you in the face repeatedly!

Now that the connection between the human world and the underworld has been restored, the existence of those powerful families and sects will gradually lose its meaning and may even be controlled. It's ridiculous that they still dare to show off their superiority in front of her!

The funniest thing is that someone even wants to take away the "ghost" beside her!

Xu Gui Jinchen: ...He's really dead! But we can't really believe he's dead!

As a result, some people were dealt with very badly!

Of course, they should be thankful that this man cared for his wife and was afraid that killing someone would bring more negative karma, since his wife would have to tell fortunes for many more people. So he only dealt with the person and spared their lives.

On a certain day of a certain month of a certain year, Ning Jiuzhou came to the door.

"Something wrong? Do you want me to take care of you in your old age?"

Xu Jinchen disliked the man in front of him, just as he disliked his father, but as a junior, he still poured a cup of tea for the old man with completely white hair.

Ten years have left extremely deep marks on Ning Jiuzhou. He has really aged and looks like a seventy-year-old.

His gaze towards Ning Yan was mixed with many things. He knew she was working in a special department, that she did fortune telling in her spare time, and that she was quite famous in that field...

She seems to be doing very well now!

Thinking of her problem, Ning Jiuzhou finally spoke up, "Your younger brother got into trouble at school. Do you think you could help him... pull some strings to prevent someone from sending your son to jail."

She does possess this ability; not to mention that she's from a special department, her identity as a metaphysician alone is enough.

Ning Yan chuckled: "You've come to me for a fortune telling? Alright, give me his birth information. I'll give you a free reading."

Her divination is quite valuable now, and given Ning Jiuzhou's current situation, he definitely wouldn't be willing to spend that much money.

Ning Jiuzhou felt embarrassed; she knew he didn't mean it that way.

"He is still your brother. If you are all doing well, I can die in peace."

Ning Yan's smile faded. "My mom gave birth to me."

Ning Jiuzhou stared blankly at his daughter!

He never expected her to be so heartless. After all, she was his own brother, with whom he had lived for ten years, and she actually disowned him?!

Yes, she still blames Hu Qingge. Hao'er is Hu Qingge's son, how could she not hold a grudge?

But to him, they were all his children!

Ten minutes later, Ning Jiuzhou opened the door and came out. Ning Yan spoke behind him, "Don't worry, you gave birth to me, so I will take responsibility for taking care of you in your old age."

Just because he gave her 1.6 billion instead of 1.5 billion when she bought the shares, she will take good care of him in his old age.

Ning Jiuzhou stopped, turned to look at his eldest daughter, hesitated for a while, and finally asked the question that had been in his heart for several years, "Was it related to the collapse of the family company?"

He knew that metaphysicians had too many tricks up their sleeves, and could easily bring down his small company.

Ning Yan: "No. I'm not that heartless."

She wouldn't say that the original owner had a good destiny, that he only became wealthy because of the original owner, nor would she say that without his daughter, his great wealth and prosperity would be ruined because he was useless.

Ning Jiuzhou is still alive only because she has no expectations of him, so she doesn't care about him that much.

His original destiny was to enjoy modest wealth and live a peaceful old age.

He's just returning to his original life.

Ning Jiuzhou finally left.

But starting from the first of next month, he will receive a payment from his daughter. This money will allow him to live comfortably without doing anything. When he turns sixty, Ning Yan will even buy him a new apartment and let him move in.

The new residential area has strict property management, which is very suitable for an elderly person like him to live in.

Ning Hao was thrown into jail and spent several years there. When he came out, he couldn't find his father.

How could Ning Yan let unrelated people spend her money?

...

Seven years after Ning Yan returned to J Province, Su Yun finally gave birth to her first child. Ning Yan went to see the child in person, but unfortunately, the child had no spiritual roots. He could learn physiognomy, but it was impossible for him to become a renowned metaphysician.

Ning Yan simply returned the books to Su Yun.

Startled, Su Yun clutched her bank card, saying, "I've already spent almost all that money."

The implication was that I would not refund the money.

Ning Yan: "I didn't take your money. This belongs to your Su family. Consider that money as my borrowing fee. Keep this safe. Maybe one of your descendants will be able to cultivate Tao."

Ning Yan put down the book and left, thus ending their karmic entanglement.

...

In this life, Ning Yan worked for the country with Xu Jinchen for a lifetime, and Xu Jinchen also successfully ascended to become a ghost immortal, regaining his physical body and being able to live a normal life under the sun.

With his advancement, the last ghost in this world also disappeared. When Ning Yan was 62 years old, she and Xu Jinchen had a son. This child was very magical. He was human and was born with the cultivation level of Foundation Establishment. Ning Yan passed on all her life's knowledge to him before leaving this world.
