Chapter 19
After a delicious meal at the Wuming Teahouse, everyone packed up the leftover food and returned to the funeral home later. Now that they had heard the news from Che Xuming, many things became clear and everyone returned to their previous cheerful atmosphere.
From Che Xuming's words, Su Yun roughly guessed the image of his junior brother. He sounded like an inconspicuous man, who might be inconspicuous in the sect and his cultivation was just average. That was why no one noticed when he let the founder run away.
Moreover, he was too inconspicuous, and now that his cultivation had increased, Che Xuming and his sect had been searching for him for many years without success.
Su Yun sent the message to Wu Jin, telling him that this little disciple who was expelled from the sect should be a person who takes orders. If he finds him out, he might be able to know who is placing the orders behind the scenes. Maybe the person behind the scenes is very cautious and has never revealed his identity. The little disciple is just working for pay.
After receiving Su Yun's message, Wu Jin quickly called and asked anxiously, "Are you sure? Could it be that the master of the Wuming Teahouse is lying?"
"It shouldn't be. A person's face is very difficult to fake. The most important thing is, I asked him a lot of details about the previous Taohua girl, and he knew everything. He even remembered that Taohua girl's real name was Mo Qingtao." Su Yun explained why he didn't doubt Che Xuming too much.
Even people like Su Yun and Wu Yu who had no ill will towards Mo Qingtao gradually forgot her real name, but Che Xuming remembered it, proving that he had been keeping this matter in mind since then. He did not dare to save her in the past because he did not have the ability to do so. It was not until Mo Qingtao was rescued that he stopped paying attention to it.
Few people can act for such a long time. Moreover, judging from his face, Su Yun thought that although he was a bit cunning, he was definitely not destined to have a murder. If he was the murderer who turned Aunt Wu into a zombie, he would have at least one life on his hands.
Wu Jin felt relieved after listening to Su Yun's explanation: "Is that so? Then we can trust him temporarily, but did he tell us what his junior brother's name is?"
Su Yun said bluntly: "I didn't ask, and he didn't say anything. After all, it's a matter within his own sect, and family disgrace should not be made public. He must go back and ask the master before he can tell it. Otherwise, if he opens his mouth now and it gets out, everyone will know that so-and-so is from a certain sect and they will be embarrassed."
They had to go back and discuss how to tell Su Yun about this and whether to ask Su Yun to help catch the person, so Che Xuming left in a hurry. He was also worried that Su Yun would lose his patience if it took too long.
"That makes sense. Then let's wait for Master Che to come back and tell us the situation. I'll take this opportunity to find out who is trying to hire someone to kill someone and cause trouble to our Wu family. This way, your actions will be different from ours, and others won't think we are working for the same cause, so we don't alert the enemy." Wu Jin simply made his own arrangements.
Su Yun had no objection. After all, she was a rich second-generation who acted like a spoiled brat, and her family had a lot of property. As long as the murderer was not stupid enough to confront her face to face, she could just act like a spoiled brat and pretend not to see it.
The matter came to an end, and the funeral home had no business, so Su Yun was thinking about whether she should take the employees to the beach for fun. Life is only a few decades long, and she is not sure how long she can live. The employees probably haven't traveled much in the past. Now the West City Funeral Home is so desolate as if it has been closed for many years. It would be a waste of time if she doesn't take a trip out now.
As a result, before everyone had finished discussing it, Che Xuming arrived, looking very anxious.
He stood at the door and didn't come in. Instead, he called Su Yun directly to inform him.
"Hello, is this Miss Su? I'm at the funeral home. Are you sure you gave me the right address?" Che Xuming was standing outside the funeral home, carrying his knapsack, with a confused look on his face.
"Che Xuming? Why are you here now? Aren't you going back to the sect to find your master?" Su Yun was lying on the recliner and suddenly sat up.
Che Xuming said on the other end of the phone: "Yes, I went back, but our sect is in the province. I took the high-speed train in the afternoon and came back on the 7 o'clock high-speed train in the morning. You haven't told me yet, did I come to the wrong place?"
The funeral home business card that Su Yun gave me before we separated had the detailed address on it, so it must be correct. Su Yun said directly: "If you come here according to the address on the business card, it must be correct. Please wait a moment, I will ask the staff to bring you in."
Still unsure, Che Xuming said yes hesitantly. He looked at the ghostly funeral home in front of him and was a little worried that he would be overwhelmed by the ghostly aura once he went in. Even if their sect learned Taoist magic that was practiced together with demons and ghosts, they could not withstand a place with such heavy yin energy.
Before hanging up the phone, Su Yun suddenly said, "Oh, by the way, the one who will pick you up later is Yan Gui. She is more lively and suitable for welcoming guests. Her name is A Yan. Don't fight with her."
Che Xuming was silent for a while: "... Is it okay for you to take Yan Gui as an employee?"
"It's okay, what could go wrong? She has great makeup skills. Don't discriminate against people who are trying hard to return to society and find a job." Su Yun said righteously.
The ghost received Su Yun's hint and went out to pick someone up when she was on the phone. As soon as the call ended, the ghost walked to the open door of the funeral home - the funeral home would be open during the day to attract business, even though no one would come here to place an order.
Che Xuming was standing on the side of the road when he saw a sexy ghost running out of the door of the funeral home. She was wearing a black Hanfu costume with a big "Huan" character on her chest. He finally realized that Su Yun was not joking at all. She was just asking the ghost to work for her!
Unlike Lin Lang, who was covered in purple and gold, Che Xuming looked like an ordinary Taoist priest. Yan Gui ran up to him and asked, "Excuse me, are you Master Che Xuming?"
It was the first time that Che Xuming saw a ghost that appeared so confidently in front of Yangguang and the Taoist priest. He was in a trance: "Yes, you are..."
"I'm Ayan from the funeral home. The director asked me to take you in. Let's go." After saying this, Yan Gui turned around and walked towards the funeral home. After taking three steps, she would stop and look back, waiting for Che Xuming to catch up before continuing forward.
"No, as a sexy ghost, why would you work in a funeral home? Don't you want to reincarnate?" Che Xuming was stunned for a long time before he caught up and asked.
The ghost looked at him strangely: "I am doing well here, why do I need to reincarnate? Besides, if I reincarnate as a human, I have to work to earn money to eat. I also work to earn money to eat as a ghost, why do I need to reincarnate?"
What he said sounded wrong, but Che Xuming couldn't think of any rebuttal. Considering Yan Gui's current life, it really didn't make much difference whether he was reincarnated or not. Since he had to work hard as a human and he also had to work hard as a ghost, why not be a ghost?
As a human being, you can only work for sixty years and may not be able to afford a house. But as a ghost, you can work for at least six hundred years and can save money without eating, drinking or sleeping. It is simply an ideal life!
Che Xuming thought all the way in the funeral home and suddenly felt that he became a Taoist priest probably, possibly, perhaps, and should have practiced so that he could work for a few more years like Yan Gui. Otherwise, why would he work so hard?
When he arrived at the yard of the funeral home, Che Xuming saw Lin Lang, who was cutting paper clothes not far away, and suddenly woke up. He seemed to have been possessed by a beautiful ghost. If there had not been a chosen son with purple and gold light in the yard, he would have been bewitched by the beautiful ghost and it would have been difficult for him to improve his cultivation in the future.
At this moment Che Xuming felt a sense of fear. This funeral home was not an ordinary place. There was a director named Su Yun whose fate was unknown. There were also sexy ghosts, ghost brides, suspected ghost messengers, and the son of God covered in purple light... If this group of people went out to exorcise demons, I'm afraid others would just walk around them.
Seeing someone coming, Su Yun sat up from the recliner and told the ghost bride to pour some cold boiled water for the master: "Master, please sit down. Don't be polite. Just treat it as your own home. We are very hospitable!"
"After all, we don't see many guests usually." The ghost bride who was pouring water muttered softly.
"So we should cherish every guest who is willing to come and chat with us. Master Che, come here, eat something first. The chef has worked hard to make it. If you think it doesn't suit your taste, just tell us and the chef can make new ones for you." Su Yun greeted again and pushed a few servings of snacks to Che Xuming.
Che Xuming sat down stiffly, hugging his saddlebag. He looked at the other employees and noticed that each of them had a different word on their chest. He then looked at the different styles of Hanfu on Su Yun and said with a dry laugh, "Your funeral home... has quite a lot of people..."
In a funeral home, there are two living people including the director, and the rest are all ghosts. This fits people's stereotype of funeral homes.
Even haunted places are not as noisy as this.
Su Yun smiled, put a piece of watermelon in his mouth, swallowed it happily and said, "Well, it's actually not much. My parents are on their honeymoon, otherwise the difference between the number of people and ghosts is not that big. Speaking of which, Master Che, why did you come so quickly? Why don't you stay in the sect for two more days?"
According to Su Yun's idea, Master Che usually goes out to gain experience and make money. It's a rare trip for him to come back to the sect. He should catch up with his fellow disciples, show filial piety to his master and elders, etc. Adding the discussion time within the sect, it would take at least five or six days to complete the whole process. Adding the travel time, it would take at least seven days.
Speaking of business, Che Xuming stopped looking at the employees who were folding gold ingots obediently and quickly took out a birth chart and file from his bag and gave them to Su Yun: "Oh, yes, I came here in a hurry to give this to you, Miss Su."
Su Yun took it curiously and first took a look at the files of Che Xuming's sect.
Their sect is called "Jingling Sect" and has been passed down for thousands of years. The main contents of their cultivation are zombies, goblins, spirits, and ghosts. Every disciple first undergoes basic training when he or she first enters the sect. Once the basic skills are solid, they can start to choose a direction, which is similar to attending a long university.
The Jingling Sect has classified each type of monster in great detail. For example, cultivating living zombies and dead zombies are two majors and there will be different teachers to teach them. However, the sect leader can usually only be the most powerful Taoist priest in the sect. After all, the sect leader will be transformed into a monster and stored in a forbidden area after death. He must be strong enough to become even stronger after death.
The person on the file is called Zhao Tuhu, a native of Xiangxi. Before he came to Jinglingmen, he was born into a family of corpse drivers. It is not easy to be a corpse driver nowadays because the country has introduced relevant regulations on corpses and cremation. After cremation, no matter how old a person is, in the end he will just be a box of ashes, and there is no need for corpse drivers anymore.
But the ancestor of the Zhao family did have some real skills. Although the corpse-drivers have declined, they still had the skills. The Zhao family trained Zhao Tuhu since he was a child, and after discovering that he was a genius, they sent him to a Taoist college. After completing his studies, he was introduced to the Jingling Sect by his tutor, who believed that Zhao Tuhu was very suitable to be a disciple of the Jingling Sect.
After conducting a series of tests on Zhao Tuhu, Jingling Sect agreed to allow him to join the sect and start practicing again - the Taoist academy can only teach the basics of Taoist techniques of various factions, and if one really wants to learn something, one still has to enter a Taoist temple or sect.
Zhao Tuhu was indeed dazzling for a while after he came to Jingling Sect. He was very talented in Taoist magic related to zombies, and he understood all the knowledge at once and could apply it to other situations. Everyone thought that he might be the sect leader of this term. As long as he practiced well, he might become the youngest sect leader in the future.
As a result, Zhao Tuhu couldn't find his matching zombie - after entering the Jingling Sect, one must have a monster of his own, but it is difficult to change after the binding.
Because he couldn't find a matching zombie, Zhao Tuhu's performance plummeted, as if Shang Zhongyong had reappeared, and he gradually became lost in the crowd.
Attached to the file are all of Zhao Tuhu's grades during his time at Jingling Sect. From full marks in the beginning to failing grades later on, it is really sad to read. After that, he was expelled from the sect. The reason given was that he trespassed into the forbidden area and released the thousand-year-old sect master who defected and left.
This is the end of Zhao Tuhu's file. Su Yun took another look at his birth date and calculated with his fingers, and found that this person's fate was neither human nor ghost. It was a fate of trying to survive as a ghost. Often, whether or not a person with this fate would die, and when he would die, depended on the mood of the King of Hell.
"Can the things calculated by the eight characters of birth be used for the present or in the past?" Su Yun asked, holding up the eight characters of birth. She didn't know what kind of Taoism the Jingling Sect used. If it was not an orthodox Taoist technique, it might be able to reveal more things.
Che Xuming knew Su Yun was going to ask this, and explained, "This birth chart has always been like this. Although our Jingling Sect is considered decent, our cultivation method is indeed weird. In ancient times, we tried to avoid people as much as possible, or we had to give ourselves the skin of ordinary Taoist priests. In addition, as we practiced, our essence gradually decreased, so it would be more appropriate to choose this fate from the beginning."
People who stay with demons and monsters for a long time cannot maintain the balance of yin and yang, and at this time they need fate to resist. Therefore, when Jinglingmen selects disciples, they will also look at whether the fate is chaotic. This chaos refers to whether they will become neither human nor ghost in the future.
Many people are destined to experience all kinds of bad luck, and slowly turn themselves into walking corpses. But if they are lucky and enter the Jingling Gate, they can use the Jingling Gate's method of cultivating Yin Qi to reverse their fate and deceive the world. God thinks that their fate has not changed, but in fact it is no longer the original bad fate.
Su Yun nodded slightly: "I understand. You usually do some teaching tasks to save people and change their fate, but you actually ran into someone who is not clear-headed and unwilling to change."
"Yes..." Actually, Che Xuming didn't want to admit it, but that was the fact. They failed to change Zhao Tuhu's fate. Instead, they made him embark on a path consistent with his destiny. Now he is living like a ghost.
"Then tell me in detail, I'll see what to do." Su Yun asked Che Xuming to explain more clearly with a look that was ready to eat melon.
Che Xuming took a sip of water and said, "It's nothing, actually. I know this junior fellow a little bit. He did get in with the highest score, and his fate was suitable, so the master was going to pass the throne to him. Oh, let me first tell you about the current situation of our sect. My master is a ghost cultivator and also the sect leader.
"I am a demon cultivator, so it's like different trades, different mountains." Zhao Tuhu is a talented player that no faction in the sect can match. He also happens to be a zombie cultivator, so Master wants to choose him as his successor."
While Che Xuming was talking, Yan Gui and other employees took out melon seeds and peanuts again. They didn't even bother stacking the gold ingots, and dragged Lin Lang over to listen together.
Lin Lang didn't like melon seeds, so he silently peeled a lot of melon seeds and peanuts, and then put them in a small plate next to Su Yun - the cook and the fire-maker would also peel them for her.
Su Yun grabbed a handful and said, "Keep going, your inheritance is really interesting. You can't even practice together, but you can still be master and apprentice."
Surrounded by people eating melons, Che Xuming felt like a storyteller. He choked for a moment, but couldn't help but grab a handful of melon seeds and chat: "We are like this. Choosing a master has nothing to do with what you learn. After all, it is the teacher who teaches on a daily basis. Isn't it important to teach students in accordance with their aptitude? Classes are classes, a mentor is a mentor, and a master is a master. They are almost the same."
Even Taoism has to keep up with the pace of society. Even Taoist colleges have blackboards and multimedia, with the main purpose of keeping up with the times.
Back to the junior fellow apprentice Zhao Tuhu, when he came in, Che Xuming had already achieved some success. After listening to the master's talk, he was ready to enter the society to gain experience, just like a college student who has learned a little bit and written a messy undergraduate thesis and then goes out to work in the society.
Of course, there are undergraduates with good grades and great talents, but most of them are ordinary people. They know exactly how much they have learned in four years, and how many times they quietly greeted Baidu Encyclopedia while working. Those are all their unknown “efforts”.
In short, Che Xuming, a half-baked man, came out of the sect to gain experience and gave himself the identity of a master. In the early days, in order to maintain his mystery, he never accepted orders on time. He even had to have his fortune told before going out. If he was going to receive a particularly difficult order, he would simply not go out.
As a result, he was on guard against everything, otherwise he would have been a half-baked person at the beginning - he didn't realize he had run into Mo Qingtao.
It is difficult to encounter peach blossom calamity. Che Xuming regretted it a lot. He was not good enough in learning skills and failed to avoid it. After thinking about it, he hurried back to the sect to ask his master for help.
"So, you ran away after calculating for Mo Qingtao?" Su Yun was shocked. She had never thought of this possibility.
"I had to run away. That was Mo Qingtao's peach blossom calamity. If I failed to help her, it would be fine. But if I succeeded, I would be in trouble. I would have to go back to ask Master for help." Che Xuming said with a smile. He had just come out to gain experience at that time and was not sure whether he had broken Mo Qingtao's peach blossom calamity.
After returning to Jingling Gate, Che Xuming cried to his master, saying that he was going to be in trouble. After the master calculated, he found out that it was a peach blossom calamity, so he comforted him and said that it was okay, he was too useless, so he did not help Mo Qingtao to resolve it.
When Che Xuming heard this, he did not feel comforted. Instead, he suspected that his master was dissing him for his poor grades.
However, no matter what, during that time, Che Xuming still did not dare to leave the sect. He was really afraid that Mo Qingtao's peach blossom calamity would be transferred to himself.
It was at this time that Zhao Tuhu passed the assessment and became the master's disciple. Che Xuming also received a salute. They all had high hopes for Zhao Tuhu.
After hiding for about half a month, Che Xuming calculated that the talisman he drew was burned and the peach blossom calamity did not happen to him. He could not stay in the sect anymore, so he ran back to the nameless teahouse in Bincheng, where he cheated people and practiced at the same time.
As for how Zhao Tuhu had learned, he only heard about it from his master in the letter. At the beginning, the master praised him in various ways, but after about a year, the master just sighed.
Sighing, Zhao Tuhu was overambitious and wanted the most powerful living zombie to be his training zombie.
It is already difficult to train a living zombie, and wanting the most powerful living zombie is simply ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth. His master has tried to persuade him, saying that the Jingling Sect's skills cannot be improved without a companion ghost. He is just wasting his time, energy and talent by wasting his time now.
But Zhao Tuhu refused. He thought he was a genius, so what was wrong with having a powerful living zombie to practice with?
Actually, the Jingling Sect does have powerful living zombies, but they are only sect masters. Can they use their former sect masters as sparring partners for their disciples?
Definitely not!
The two sides were in a stalemate, and Zhao Tuhu's grades began to plummet. The master felt that this disciple was not very good. Why did he accept such a person? If all geniuses were like this, he would rather accept a few more brainless people like Che Xuming.
"That's about it. I went back to persuade him once later, but Zhao Tuhu insisted on finding a powerful zombie. Not long after, he found out the location of the sect's forbidden area and secretly released the founder." Che Xuming sighed as he concluded the story.
"Didn't you find anything particularly strange in the whole incident?" Su Yun asked gently.
Che Xuming looked at her suspiciously: "What's strange about that?"
The ghosts nearby couldn't help but say, "A person who keeps saying that he wants the strongest living zombie as his training partner, in the end, he just let your ancestor escape in the forbidden area, and didn't take any living zombies with him!"
To this, Che Xuming answered as if it was a matter of course: "Because there isn't one."
"..." Everyone in the funeral home was stunned by his answer. How could someone so confidently say that his sect didn't have it? Didn't he consider the future enrollment rate?
Seeing that everyone looked unconvinced, Che Xuming said helplessly, "It's true. Jingling Sect doesn't have living zombies. There are only zombies that the sect masters voluntarily become after their death. Firstly, the method of making living zombies is really inhumane, and secondly, the timing has to be just right. Unfortunately, the sect masters are all destined to be people, and their life and death are very secretive, so it is naturally difficult to train them."
Lin Lang, who was more familiar with cultivation, said, "Then among your sect leaders, aren't there a few who use zombie cultivation as a method of cultivation?"
Che Xuming nodded, "Yes, among all the sect masters of all generations, only a few chose to cultivate with living zombies, but that's because their Taoist partners are living zombies. They can accompany each other for a lifetime and have a tacit understanding, so cultivation will be twice as effective with half the effort. Master advised Zhao Tuhu to find a Taoist partner who is about to die instead of the strongest living zombie. Although a forced melon is not very sweet, maybe they will fall in love with each other over time. As a result, Zhao Tuhu said, who wants to be a Taoist partner with a living zombie?"
After listening to Che Xuming's words, Su Yun had only one thought: "Your sect is really good. It even guarantees a partner?"
"Well... after all, we are all single, and we have beautiful ghosts as friends. It is normal to fall in love with each other over time. The wife of a sword cultivator is still a sword. At least we were once human or will be human in the future, which is much better than sword cultivators!" Che Xuming said, and suddenly took out a lily of the valley from his bag. He looked a little shy, "This is my Taoist partner, let me introduce her, her name is Youlan."
While eating melons, they suddenly started eating dog food. Everyone in the funeral home suddenly felt a little full.
The lily of the valley in Che Xuming's palm slowly bloomed, revealing the little person inside. A very cute girl wearing a white dress and a bunch of even smaller lily of the valley flowers on her head poked her head out and waved at Su Yun: "Hello."
Such a cute little girl would confuse anyone who saw her. Everyone in the funeral home smiled and greeted her, and then Che Xuming took her back. He said cautiously: "It's enough to get to know her. This world is too dangerous. It's better to hide. By the way, where were we just now?"
Seeing him like this, Su Yun couldn't help but ask, "Did you suddenly take out your wife just to let us see her?"
"Yes, my wife is so cute, isn't one look enough?" Che Xuming said confidently.
"...Enough, it's too much. Just now you said that Zhao Tuhu was unwilling to find a zombie as a partner." Su Yun speechlessly brought the topic back. Who knew that when he was trying to get some information, he would suddenly be fed a mouthful of dog food.
Che Xuming held his ling orchid and continued, "Oh, yes. I said Zhao Tuhu didn't want to find a living zombie as his Taoist partner. When Master heard that, he got angry because Master's wife was a ghost who died in vain. Master took her back with him. They practiced together and planned to live and die together in the future. But Zhao Tuhu looked down on the rules of Jingling Sect, so Master gave up on him."
This kind of giving up in a sect actually means no longer giving lessons to the other party, but it does not mean severing the master-disciple relationship. In the future, if the disciple or master wants to redeem the relationship, they can still find the person based on the master-disciple relationship, so they won't have nowhere to find him or her if they regret it.
After being abandoned by his master, Zhao Tuhu's grades got even worse and his cultivation did not improve at all. He should have gone down the mountain to gain experience after turning 22, but his classmates all went down the mountain, and at most some brothers who had not yet encountered the destined monster stayed in the sect to wait. Zhao Tuhu was the worst one among them.
If the teachers don’t know how to teach, they can go and talk to the sect leader, or recommend Zhao Tuhu to other Taoist temples or sects, so as not to waste Zhao Tuhu’s talent.
After much deliberation, the sect leader agreed to this matter and contacted fellow Taoists from the Maoshan, Ganshi, Zhengyi and other sects, saying that as long as they were willing, he could immediately terminate the master-disciple relationship and transfer Zhao Tuhu's list to them.
As a result, Zhao Tuhu heard about this and he refused to go. He said that he had been practicing in the Jingling Sect for so many years, and if he switched to other sects now, he would need to start all over again. Although his cultivation had not improved, his theoretical knowledge was sufficient, and as long as he found a living zombie, his cultivation would catch up immediately.
There was no way out. Zhao Tuhu refused to leave, and the sect leader had no other reason to persuade him, so he let him stay.
Disciples came and went, but he never found the so-called powerful living zombie. After a year or two, everyone gradually forgot that the Elf Gate once had a genius.
The next time I remembered him, it was when someone broke into the sect’s forbidden area. The sect leader thought Zhao Tuhu was going to steal zombies, so he hurried over with his men. However, he didn’t see anyone, but instead met the founder who had escaped from the forbidden area!
Things have their priorities. The sect leader couldn't take care of Zhao Tuhu and directly asked all the people in the sect to go find the founder. They couldn't let the founder do evil outside. Just the founder's corpse aura could poison and kill ordinary people. Even if there were ten Zhao Tuhu, it wouldn't be worth giving up the founder to chase after Zhao Tuhu at this time.
Later they found their founder, and because the situation was handled in a timely manner and no one was killed, everyone in the Jingling Sect could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
But now they can no longer find Zhao Tuhu. They still don't know why Zhao Tuhu suddenly ran to the forbidden area and let the founder run away. There were so many zombies in the forbidden area, and he could just find a zombie to bind to and his cultivation level would increase greatly.
"Sometimes I admire him quite a lot. When he said he would find a living zombie to practice with, he would make sure it was a living zombie. Even a thousand-year-old zombie would not be tempted. Anyway, when the ancestor was captured, there was no disciple of the zombie lineage who was not tempted." Che Xuming said with emotion.
Because Zhao Tuhu was so tolerant, his fellow disciples sighed privately, saying that it was no wonder that he was a genius while they were just ordinary Taoists.
Su Yun ate melon seeds and said, "But he stole the Ganoderma lucidum from your ancestor's coffin."
Che Xuming froze when he heard this. He calculated with shaking hands: "What is he doing with the Ganoderma lucidum of the ancestor..."
It seems that they didn't notice that Zhao Tuhu took the Ganoderma lucidum for Aunt Wu. They must have known that the Ganoderma lucidum was stolen, but they didn't think about how Zhao Tuhu would use it. Now they found out that Su Yun knew about this. After a calculation, they found out that Zhao Tuhu broke off a very small piece and put it in Aunt Wu's body to turn her into a living zombie smoothly.
"Don't be too angry. Now it's in their hands. They can definitely do whatever they want with it." Su Yun comforted hypocritically.
"The problem is... that's not how you use the Ganoderma lucidum..." Che Xuming almost fainted, hating his fellow thief for wasting such a gift.
Ganoderma lucidum is a life-saving substance. The Ganoderma lucidum grown on the coffin of a thousand-year-old zombie has an even wider range of effects. It can not only save people, but also save zombies, ghosts, goblins and a series of extraordinary things. If it is used to make living zombies, it will only allow the living zombies to retain a breath of vitality that will not dissipate. And this breath of vitality, in the normal process of making living zombies, should be kept by the person concerned.
Su Yun was thirsty while eating melon seeds, so he poured himself some boiled water and said, "They've already used it up, so there's no point in getting angry. But I'm curious, why don't you seem to be in a hurry even though he stole the Ganoderma?"
Che Xuming recovered a little, "He only stole the biggest Ganoderma lucidum. There are other small ones. As they grow longer, there will be a lot of them. We have tried hard to find him over the years, but it's really strange. We have clearly calculated where he is, but when we chase him, his aura disappears. If we calculate again, it will show that he is in another place."
At this time, Lin Lang spoke up: "Could it be that he used a hidden formation to hide his whereabouts? If it were me, you probably wouldn't be able to find me in your lifetime."
"...Although I can see that you are the chosen one, you have forgotten that our Jingling Sect has a very special mark," Che Xuming raised his hand and pointed at the leg of the coffee table, "Look, it has begun to grow. I am a demon cultivator and I also carry Youlan, so where I appear, this kind of mist-like mold will appear."
"Ah! Why did it start to grow? How can I clean it later?" The ghost bride complained loudly. Usually, she and the sexy ghost took turns to take care of this coffee table. There was already a shortage of staff in the funeral home, and this would simply increase their workload.
Suddenly, mold appeared on someone's coffee table. Che Xuming felt a little embarrassed: "This... can't be controlled. Our cultivation must be very high to suppress the leakage of this kind of evil spirit. My cultivation is not yet able to control it, so every time the customer who places an order needs to take care of the house for more than half a month."
Su Yun sighed softly, raised his folding fan and knocked it twice on the coffee table. Suddenly, the mold disappeared as if it had been dispersed. "Okay, stop howling. I won't add to your workload."
Seeing the mold on the legs of the coffee table disappear, the ghost bride's eyes lit up: "Director, you are awesome!"
Che Xuming looked at Su Yun in surprise: "Ms. Su is really capable. I can't clean it up completely by myself."
"You can't clean it up because you and this thing are of the same origin. How can a person clean himself up? I can do it because I'm stronger than it. After all, this is just a group of evil spirits. As long as you are much stronger than it, you can easily disperse it." Su Yun replied with a smile.
"Miss Su has a point, but as you said just now, we can't completely clear out the evil spirit and resentment by ourselves, because it is part of our skills, not to mention that it is emitted from our bodies. So wherever Zhao Tuhu has passed, there should be corresponding traces of resentment left behind, but there is no mold in the places we have searched." Che Xuming's expression suddenly became serious.
When Su Yun heard this, he immediately thought of the Wu family who had inquired for several days. The master they found in the circle was Che Xuming. What he would leave behind was evil spirits, and he asked every client to clear it as much as possible. Only the ones with small black flowers were rarely seen, and that was the resentment left by zombies.
The three places Su Yun knows so far are where she died, the attic where Aunt Wu died, and the Fu family's old house. However, among these three, the last one, the Fu family's old house, does not match Zhao Tuhu's age.
In other words, Zhao Tuhu might be the killer who killed her and Aunt Wu, but he was not the one Aunt Wu had seen leaving the small flower mold at Fu's house.
Su Yun thought for a while and asked, "If there is no mold, is there a possibility that he found a very powerful colleague to help him cover it up?"
Currently, the only people who know this kind of skills should be the disciples of Jingling Sect, but there will always be people who will not accept their way of "arranged marriage", so it is possible that they will leave the sect and seek other ways out. Su Yun guessed that the mold that Aunt Wu saw at the Fu family at the beginning might have been left by the former disciples of Jingling Sect.
After hearing this, Che Xuming was stunned for a moment: "Can it still be like this? But I don't know if there have been other disciples who left before."
"You know nothing. What did you discuss with your master when you went back?" Su Yun couldn't help it anymore. She wanted to skip Che Xuming and talk to his master directly.
"We just talked about whether to ask you for help. I ran here overnight. When my master heard that you were willing to take over this mess, he immediately found Zhao Tuhu's file and gave it to me. He asked me to place an order for you and said that he would agree to any reward you wanted as long as it was not too excessive. Then I came here." Che Xuming answered truthfully.
Su Yun covered his head and said, "Okay, now I understand why you were able to come here so quickly. It turns out that you and your disciple didn't plan anything. Just remember to let me solve the problem quickly. Otherwise, you can go back and ask now? Or next time, you can just invite the master to come and we can have a face-to-face meeting."
This method of passing messages between middlemen seems like the reincarnation of Wu Yu, all of which are weird and shoddy.
Che Xuming smiled embarrassedly: "Although the matter has not been clarified, our sect really wants to ask Miss Su for help. Your parents are also well-known in the industry. We are very relieved to leave the matter to you."
Su Yun didn't understand, so she tilted her head slightly and asked the chef, "Master chef, what does this have to do with my parents?"
Without waiting for the chef to answer, Che Xuming said directly: "Don't you know? Your parents also helped us in Jingling Sect in the past. At that time, our mistress was lost, and it was Mr. Su and Ms. Ji who... snatched her back."
"..." Su Yun immediately retreated tactically, "No one seems to have told me about this kind of thing?"
Su Yiling and Ji Weitang were both ordinary people. Su Yiling's parents died early, leaving him only a piece of land, which is now the Xicheng Funeral Home. Ji Weitang grew up in a single-parent family. Her mother was in poor health and passed away after supporting her to go to college. The two were childhood sweethearts and they were still very much in love when they grew up. They fell in love, got married, and had children normally.
Until Su Yun was replaced, they ran to all the temples to pray for their daughter, but found out that their daughter had been replaced!
At this point, the two began to think of ways to practice and get in touch with the world of metaphysics. They wanted to make a lot of money, so much that the Su family could no longer detain their daughter. But because of this, they were later known in the underworld as the "Skinning Duo" - wherever they passed by, there was nothing they dared not to skin or rob, and the various Xuanmen families all avoided them and were terrified.
However, they wanted to save face, so they used pseudonyms when traveling around the world and only used their real names when applying for documents. They also kept it secret, intending to develop secretly and then surprise everyone. As a result, the Su family later didn't know why Su Yun was still able to show up, and they thought she was still the poor little girl who had to work hard to make a living in college.
[End of this chapter]
Su Yiling, Ji Weitang: We need to develop quietly and then scare everyone to death!
Su Yun: It’s not a big problem, at least my parents still have some dignity:)
