☆, Chapter 121: Trouble breaks out again
"Yes." Master Yu Jiuyin nodded. "Otherwise, would Xiao Jiuer's protectiveness allow Rong Zhuo and Xiao Yuqi to come into contact?"
That makes a lot of sense. Recalling what Yu Jiuyin did, it does make sense.
"Also, the first evil spirit a Ghost Dao Celestial Master signs is extremely important. The ghost's abilities can essentially determine the Ghost Dao Celestial Master's future development path. For example, my first evil spirit was more inclined towards talismans, so I'm the best at them. Relatively speaking, I know nothing about formations and divination."
"What will happen if the boss signs Ruan Qin? It won't be witchcraft, right?"
"He probably knows some witchcraft now. You can ask him about it yourself after the contract is settled. It seems to be a rather unconventional technique. Ruan Qin seems to be more inclined towards bewitchment and control, so it's hard to say what will happen if he were to be a Ghost Daoist Heavenly Master."
"What about Brother Yu?" Xu Wang suddenly became curious. Yu Jiuyin seemed to know everything, and was strong in every area. It was hard to tell what his original development path was.
However, Master Yu Jiuyin's expression was a little indescribable.
"What's wrong?" Xu Wang thought it was a secret.
"Nothing. But you must not ask Xiao Jiuer this question, otherwise you will probably get beaten." Master Yu Jiuyin laughed so hard that even the previous gloomy atmosphere dissipated a lot.
"Little Jiuer signed a contract with his first evil spirit when he was in elementary school. They were attending summer camp at the time, and something went wrong during the final test of courage at the temple. Jiuyin was young, and after he finished dealing with the problem, he fainted from exhaustion. When he woke up, he had lost some of his memory, but he inexplicably discovered that he had signed a contract. The key point was that the evil spirit he had signed a contract with actually ran away."
"Is it so careless?" Xu Wang almost bit his tongue.
"Right." Master Yu Jiuyin wanted to laugh when he mentioned this. "He himself doesn't know what the first evil spirit he signed was. But it seems like it must be a very powerful one."
"So what did Brother Yu get?" It was rare to hear that Yu Jiuyin was tricked by a ghost, so these people were a little excited.
Master Yu Jiuyin finally burst out laughing, and it took a while for him to calm down. "Does early to bed and early to rise count?"
Everyone didn't understand at first, but then they joined in the laughter. For the first few days after signing a contract, the Ghost Dao Celestial Master would synchronize his schedule with the contracted spirit. A child's character can be seen at the age of three. Just looking at Yu Jiuyin now, one can tell he must have been a very spontaneous person when he was young. But he unexpectedly signed a contract with a very strict and methodical spirit.
At this point, Yu Jiuyin's master's tone became particularly gloating. "For the entire summer vacation, there wasn't a single day he didn't get up at six in the morning to run. The point is, he can't resist. As long as that evil spirit gets up, he has to get up. He runs every day while mumbling, why does a evil spirit have to live such a strict life? Hahahahaha."
"I can't do it anymore. Brother Yu was so funny when he was a kid."
"That evil ghost is also a big weirdo. He signed the contract and ran away. It feels a bit like a heartless person pulling out a ** after a one-night stand. The key is that people don't live so seriously these days. This evil ghost is too serious about life."
"Actually, that's not true. I remember that Brother Rong always gets up at six o'clock every morning, without fail." Xu Wang said while sympathizing with Yu Jiuyin, "It's just that Brother Rong is not convenient right now, otherwise he would definitely drag Brother Yu out for a morning run."
"Then Brother Yu..." Thinking of Yu Jiuyin's future life, the group couldn't help but laugh again. After all, Master Yu Jiuyin said that Rongqing's leg could be cured, it just took some time.
As the third brother was talking, he thought of a very crucial question, "Master, since the one who ran away was Brother Yu's first evil spirit, why couldn't Brother Yu sense it?"
"I'm really not sure about that. The relationship between the Ghost Taoist Priest and the evil spirits is very complicated. But generally speaking, since they can become a bond, they must have a different relationship. At that time, Xiao Jiuer almost turned the entire temple upside down but couldn't find any trace of the evil spirit. Later we also analyzed that either the evil spirit he signed at that time was far more powerful than him, or it was not an evil spirit at all." Master Yu Jiuyin shook his head, but a hint of sexual interest unexpectedly flashed in his eyes.
He suddenly thought of a possibility, but it was just a guess. Whether it would be true or not would depend on the conclusion of the Siren Orphanage case.
But if it is really as he thought, I can only say that the word "fate" is too magical.
However, while they were talking excitedly, on the other side of the room, the boss finally recovered his spirits after a short rest.
However, as soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Rong Zhuo sitting next to him.
Pinching the boss's face, Rong Zhuo's tone was still nonchalant, "Xiao Yuqi, after you ran away, Yu Xiaojiuer was so angry that she wanted to beat me up."
"Don't talk nonsense. My brother wouldn't do that." The eldest brother dismissed his rant as nonsense. He then turned back to look for Ruan Qin. The little girl had just signed the contract and was at her weakest, so the eldest brother was worried she wouldn't be used to it. However, when he found Ruan Qin lying quietly beside him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Are you okay?" Rong Zhuo was rarely serious.
"That's fine, but the previous agreement doesn't count." The boss also felt very sorry.
In fact, Yu Jiuyin and Rong Qing had talked to Rong Zhuo about this the night he returned. The boss originally thought Rong Zhuo was simply called back to treat him, but later realized that Yu Jiuyin intended for Rong Zhuo to be his first evil spirit and his future guide.
At first, the eldest brother didn't quite believe it. Rong Zhuo looked healthy and didn't seem like he would live more than three years. But later, after Yu Jiuyin taught him divination, the eldest brother secretly read Rong Zhuo's fortune and was shocked.
Rong Zhuo really couldn't live more than three years. Furthermore, his lifeline had been severed since he was ten. Therefore, from that time on, the eldest brother's feelings towards Rong Qing became more complicated, and he felt that Rong Zhuo had a difficult life as well.
After all, any normal person wouldn't be as calm as Rong Zhuo after knowing that he only had three years left to live. And Rong Zhuo really didn't care. All he wanted to do was live his life to the fullest while he was alive and die without regrets.
However, Rong Zhuo was destined to die with an open mind and filled with resentment. Just by imagining it, you can imagine how tragic his death would be.
"Don't think too much, it's okay." One could guess what the boss was thinking at a glance. Rong Zhuo patted his head, "Even if it's not the first one, as long as it's the most special one for you, it's fine."
Changing the concept, although Rong Zhuo felt regretful about not being able to be the boss's guide, he also felt lucky. After all, even Ruan Qin hadn't been with the boss while she was alive.
But he is different. When he was still a human being, he already had a good relationship with the boss.
More importantly, compared to Ruan Qin and the others, he was truly lucky. No matter how he died, he had the opportunity to support his parents and take care of them until their death. He also successfully saw Rong Qing meet Yu Jiuyin, and he would not be alone in the future. All the relatives and friends he cared about had a good ending. For Rong Zhuo, this was already the best ending.
So he kept telling himself to learn to be content. It didn't matter when death came, what mattered was that he hadn't let himself down in the time before it came.
What the boss admired most was Rong Zhuo's open-minded attitude towards dealing with things. The two chatted for a few more sentences, but the boss was not in a good state of mind and fell asleep after a few minutes.
Yu Jiuyin had arranged everything and planned to wait for Rongqing's subordinates to return so they could go out to sea. However, things often change faster than planned.
No one expected that they would wait for three full days without seeing Mingyu and Grandpa Gan return. On the morning of the fourth day, Yu Jiuyin suddenly had a subtle feeling, as if something was about to happen, which made him very irritable.
"It shouldn't be a problem. After all, Grandpa Gan is with him." Rong Qing sensed that something was wrong with him, and while comforting Yu Jiuyin, she called Mingyu.
Rongqing wasn't just saying this casually. Mingyu had been doing very well until yesterday.
Unlike the cases involving Yu Jiuyin and the boss, Mingyu's case wasn't even haunted by a ghost. It was just a simple human trafficking case.
It’s not so much ghosts that are dangerous, but people who are dangerous.
The village Mingyu and his companions went to was far more desolate and remote than the two villages belonging to Yu Jiuyin and the eldest brother. Anyone with a bit of potential would have left eight hundred years ago. The rest were all incompetent and could only stay at home.
Not to mention farming, even supporting himself was a struggle. As for finding a wife, no girl would want to suffer with a man like this. Girls with connections would have already married off. The number of bachelors in the village was increasing.
Later they found a new way, which was to buy people.
Of course, this kind of human trafficking is illegal, and the women who are sold here are unwilling to do so. This is where the despicable nature of human nature begins.
These men would spend all their family fortunes to buy a wife, and some even had brothers team up to buy a woman. So for them, these women were more like commodities, a combination of property and sexual outlets, rather than wives or inseparable relatives.
So they kept a close watch on these purchased women, tying them up and gag them, locking them in the house day and night. They even watched them go to the toilet.
Many women, unable to endure the torture, died within a few years. But many more wanted to die but couldn't, and even had difficulty going crazy, only able to count the days until they finally succumbed and became tools for childbearing.
In villages like this, the entire village is usually in cahoots with one another and won't let outsiders know. If even one person escapes, the entire village will join in the search. Once they find the person, they'll break their legs. Of course, they won't provide medical treatment after the breakage.
After all, it's better not to move. They just let these women give birth to their children.
Therefore, faced with a situation where the entire village was filled with criminals, Mingyu and his team put in a lot of effort to finally solve the case. Furthermore, the poor and harsh environment and the many unruly people in the village led them to even resort to armed forces before they could completely crack the case.
The most difficult part of this kind of case is dealing with the aftermath. Some of these abducted women need to find homes, some need medical treatment, and those who died also need to be accounted for.
There are so many things.
So it took Mingyu and his team three full days to barely come up with an outline. This is also why they solved the case, but the person never came back.
However, if only it were just like this. Even Mingyu himself didn't expect that something like this would happen just as they were about to reunite with Yu Jiuyin.
Grandpa Gan is missing. He didn't leave on his own, but was taken away by someone.
Grandpa Gan was a powerful ghost with great power. After following Yu Jiuyin, he became even more powerful. Mingyu had no idea who was so powerful that he could attack him.
He searched around but found nothing, so he could only call Rongqing in a panic.
On the other end, after receiving Mingyu's call, Yu Jiuyin finally understood why she felt uneasy when she woke up in the morning.
There was no need to think about it, this was the work of the Siren Orphanage. I just didn't know if they did this as a declaration of war to the death or to set a trap to lure him in.
After exchanging a glance with Rong Qing, Yu Jiuyin discovered that he and Rong Qing had the same opinion on this issue. The Siren Orphanage was about to go to war with them head-on.
