Chapter 193 It’s fake
He was clearly dragged out by Wuliangqiu, so how could he manage to confuse right and wrong with a righteous look on his face?
The man and the ghost looked at each other in silence.
Just when Sanjiu's hands felt a little sore from holding the mourning stick, the person sitting on the sofa finally spoke.
"…your clothes are on fire."
Sanjiu quickly lowered his head and saw a flame jumping on the hem of his clothes. He quickly put down his hands that had been posing for a long time and kept slapping his body to put out the fire.
The funny scene in front of him gave Qin Qinsen a migraine. Wuliangqiu sensed his master's mood and jumped twice to surround Sanjiu.
"Hey, Qin, don't think you can do whatever you want just because Sanqi and the others are protecting you. Why don't you surrender and go to the underworld with me for trial!"
"How did you get in?"
Not to mention that the Teng family villa is filled with talismans and formations to exorcise ghosts and evil spirits, the merits and blessings of the Teng family alone are enough to make ordinary evil spirits retreat.
Although Sanjiu is a Yincha, Yincha also has different levels.
For example, Lao Jiu was the ghost messenger in charge of the entire Hai City. He had the highest authority within Hai City and was in charge of all the underworld cases in Hai City. Ershiqi was half a level below him, so the two ghosts were in a principal and deputy position relationship.
Sanqi is an ordinary ghost messenger, but he has been in office for a long time and has some fame among the ghost messengers.
Compared with these old ghosts, Sanjiu, who had just been assigned to the street where Qin Qinsen’s old house was located, was like a newborn baby, still naughty and restless.
But it was this newcomer in the underworld workplace who was not afraid of the Teng family's own merits and blessings, broke through the many barriers set up by Qin Qinsen, and hid in his room to ambush people. It sounded suspicious.
"Who brought you in?" Qin Qinsen stared at Sanjiu, who was easily subdued by Wuliangqiu, with his eyes slightly narrowed. "Master Wusong?"
Upon hearing this, Sanjiu stretched his neck and said loudly, "I am a ghost messenger, so of course I can come and go as I please in this villa."
"So it was you who entered the dream?"
"No, that's right. I just want you to know that the Yincha is not so easy to fool!"
Changing his position on the sofa, Qin Qinsen laughed heartily.
'What do you mean? You look down on me?!'
"Hahaha, sorry, it was you who said that. You, a mere underworld messenger, managed to enter the dream of a ferryman and even manipulated his dreams, causing him to wake up in the middle of the night and lose his memory of the dream." Qin Qinsen clapped his hands as Sanjiu's expression gradually stiffened. "With a new underworld messenger like you, who is so talented, the prison must have attracted many more wronged souls and evil spirits."
"Are you from the Underworld?!" Sanjiu's eyes widened, and they were about to fall out of their sockets, but Wuliangqiu slammed them back into his mouth.
Qin Qinsen waved towards the balcony, and under Sanjiu's incredulous gaze, Laojiu and Sanqi floated in.
"Who was the examiner who allowed you to pass the Yincha selection? I want to see who is trying to harm me."
As time went on, the population grew larger and larger, with countless people dying and ghosts causing trouble every day, and the number of Yinchai also increased accordingly. Therefore, selecting Yinchai from the crowd of ghosts became a major event in the underworld.
Of course, not every ghost can participate in the selection. Some have enough good karma and naturally become ghost messengers or ghost gods after death, just like the previous ghost transferor Yu Li'an. Others are ghosts like Sanqi who voluntarily participate in the ghost messenger assessment after death.
The hard conditions that ghosts must meet to participate in the assessment are that they must not do evil or have any intention to harm others.
Obviously, 39 does not meet the requirements.
Lao Jiu flicked his tongue sinisterly, tapping San Jiu's waist with it a few times. After a while, a sign made of locust wood flew out.
But it was intercepted by a hand that reached out halfway.
"It must be fake."
A faint golden light flashed across Qin Qinsen's hand, and he easily wiped off the pattern on the wooden sign, revealing the motley black and red lines underneath.
"I was wondering what was wrong. How could an evil ghost regard a house covered with array formations as his own home? He would rather be trapped than play house there."
After the wooden sign revealed its true appearance, bloody evil energy spread out uncontrollably.
Qin Qinsen tapped his left and right shoulders a few times and chanted a spell. A crisp "pop" sound was heard in the air, as if something had broken. Then, Qin Qinsen wiped his shoulders - his hands were covered with black ash.
Sanqi: "You're quite courageous, actually daring to plot against Master Qin."
Lao Jiu: "You are quite capable. You were able to trick Master Qin."
After putting his finger to the tip of his nose and sniffing carefully for a moment, Qin Qinsen sneered and said, "It's Taoist Wusong who's trying to pass off fake things as real."
"It smells exactly like Taoist Wusong. He absorbs Yin objects to enhance his power. Who gave you the guts to plot against me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden threads on Wuliangqiu's body exploded and turned into fine needles, piercing into Sanjiu's body.
Lao Jiu and San Qi looked at their former colleague who had been pricked like a hedgehog, and suddenly shuddered, feeling a phantom pain in their skin.
"Speak, why are you pretending to be dead?" Qin Qinsen wiped his hands, but Sanjiu's voice did not come for a long time.
Looking up, I saw Sanjiu with his head tilted, his mouth stretched, and his lips opening and closing silently.
He quickly made some hand gestures and tapped Sanjiu's forehead, and the weird-looking fake ghost instantly returned to normal.
His body was controlled by Wuliangqiu, and Sanjiu, who had regained consciousness, suddenly became nervous, "What did you do to me!?"
"You should ask why Taoist Wusong asked you to pretend to be a ghost messenger, where did the original ghost messenger go, and what exactly did he want you to do by asking you to come to me?"
He asked several questions in a row, but could not wait for Sanjiu's answer. He just glared at Qin Qinsen fiercely, ignoring the golden needles stuck in his body, and took a few steps towards Qin Qinsen despite the pain.
'Speaking of Taoist Wusong, he has been thrown into the underworld prison and interrogated overnight. It was discovered that he had received favors from Guan Tianqin, and after hearing that Guan Tianqin had been arrested, he lay in wait at Master Qin's house, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge.'
Qin Qinsen took the Yinwen file handed over by Lao Jiu, glanced at it for a few times, and actually laughed angrily, "If I don't go home, he will use the Yinsha Qi to engulf the whole building and force me to show up? Good, very good."
"What else did Taoist Wusong tell you? Did he want to capture me and torture me, and hopefully threaten the underworld to release Guan Tianqin? Did he drug you with the spirit? You're all so obedient, and you're rushing in to seek revenge and rescue without even a finger being raised."
Not wanting to listen to the fake ghost's excuses anymore, Qin Qinsen waved his hand, cast a ghost-binding curse on Sanjiu, and took away his mourning stick and the tall hat on his head.
"During his lifetime, Taoist Wusong practiced Taoism and placed a curse on me. At night, Sanjiu would follow the curse and lead me into my dreams. Ideally, he would capture my soul in my dreams and use it to threaten the underworld."
Unfortunately, Taoist Wusong did not take his companion seriously and did not tell Sanjiu that Qin Qinsen was a ghost ferryman. Therefore, the soul-binding operation in the dream failed, and Sanjiu was forced to reveal herself.
