The next morning, Yang Sheng brought Mrs. Pan's ashes to Youji Restaurant.
Chen You looked up at him, casually pointed to the corner, and placed a bowl of glutinous rice in front of Yang Sheng.
"Hey, Brother You, can't you offer some other main dishes at your restaurant? It's all sticky rice, nothing but sticky rice. You could make something like stir-fried beef noodles."
Chen You lit a cigarette and said irritably, "Don't you need to spend money to stock up on goods?"
Ah Cheng, that idiot, taught him for months before he could barely stir-fry glutinous rice. If I asked him to stir-fry beef noodles, I'm afraid he'd end up with beef jerky.
Besides, the locals are all used to eating at Yu Kee's; who would be picky?
Yang Sheng silently ate a bite of glutinous rice, and while chewing, handed the plastic bag containing Mrs. Pan's ashes to Chen You.
“I ran into Mrs. Pan on the third floor yesterday; these are her ashes.”
Chen You frowned: "There's no Mrs. Pan on the third floor."
The Golden Cloud Building is full of old guys; there aren't many young people, at least not on the third floor.
"She lived in room 344. After I killed her, her body aged rapidly and turned to ashes."
Upon entering the room, I discovered she was using baby meat to make dumplings; I wasn't even sure if it was from a stillborn infant.
Chen You let out a long breath, his brows furrowed: "What Mrs. Pan? It should be Old Mrs. Pan."
That old woman wasn't a good person when she was young; she seduced this man and that woman behind her husband's back.
After her husband found out, she seduced a police chief and had him imprisoned. When he came out, he went insane and became physically disabled.
Later, as she aged and lost her beauty, she moved into the Golden Cloud Building and lived off the savings she had accumulated in her youth.
I haven't seen her for a long time, I never imagined she would get her hands on such evil magic.
The "baby flesh" you saw was more accurately described as unborn fetuses.
Legend has it that unborn fetuses possess an innate energy, untouched by the pollution of the world. When combined with a secret method of consumption, this energy can restore youth and preserve life forever.
After hearing this, Yang Sheng lost his appetite and put down his chopsticks.
This stuff really ruins my appetite.
"Brother You, were there always so many ghosts in the Golden Cloud Building? Why does this place feel like it's not a place for humans to live?"
Chen You scoffed and said sarcastically, "People can't even afford to be happy anymore, why are they still picky about where they live?"
It's already good enough that they didn't end up sleeping in parks or on the streets.
Remember, places with a large number of people have strong yang energy. Even if a place is inherently yin, its power will be suppressed by the yang energy.
The Jinxiao Building was originally a place where yin energy gathered. After it fell into disrepair, it became deserted and the residents were mostly the elderly, weak, sick and disabled. How could yang energy be strong there?
So it's normal to have more ghosts.
However, Chen You frowned and said, "But you should know that most ghosts are simply spiritual entities formed by the convergence of yin energy, which ordinary people cannot see."
They cannot affect normal people; at most, they can only be faintly seen by people who are dying and whose yang energy is about to be extinguished.
However, the ghost baby and Granny Pan were clearly not normal ghosts, but rather the result of evil magic, which was truly strange.
I'll close the shop a little earlier tonight and go on patrol with you.
Chen You's abilities are undeniable; with him patrolling alongside, Yang Sheng at least doesn't need to worry about any major dangers tonight.
"Oh right, this is what I promised you."
Chen You suddenly tossed Yang Sheng an old-fashioned book, but the book seemed to be damaged, with one half torn.
"Maoshan magic requires people who are naturally compatible with spiritual energy to cultivate."
But now, in this chaotic and turbulent world, there are too few people with spiritual energy and affinity.
I never expected that your malevolent aura could also be compatible with spiritual energy and activate talismans.
However, my lineage does not accept disciples, and the inheritance is incomplete. It only contains these few talismanic secrets. If you want to learn, you can take a look.
Don't expect me to provide much detailed guidance; how much you learn depends entirely on your own opportunity and understanding.
Yang Sheng immediately put away the ancient book, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "Thank you, Brother You."
Chen You waved his hand dismissively and said, "Don't bother with that nonsense. If it weren't for the fact that you patrol every night and help Jinxiao Building solve its problems, I wouldn't bother with you."
Perhaps because they had always seen Chen You and Yang Sheng whispering together, one of the diners couldn't help but tease, "Ah You, you're getting on in years and you still haven't found a wife. Do you just like these handsome young men?"
Chen You turned his head and cursed, "Big Head Qiang, even eating can't shut you up, next time go eat shit!"
At this moment, a kind-looking old lady in her sixties walked over to Chen You and said, "Ah You, my husband hasn't withdrawn his pension this month. Can I give you the meal expenses together next month?"
Chen You waved his hand and said, "Aunt Mei, why are you being so polite? You've kept the accounts perfectly clear. Just come and settle them whenever you want."
Aunt Mei smiled at Yang Sheng and said, "You're the security guard who's taking over Uncle Shui's night shift, right? If your clothes are torn and need mending or anything, you can come to me."
Yang Sheng nodded and said, "Thank you, Aunt Mei."
After Aunt Mei left, Yang Sheng glanced at Chen You and said, "Brother You, you really are cold on the outside but warm on the inside."
Chen You said irritably, "I can't even laugh when I'm surrounded by a bunch of idiots every day."
Go back and wait for me. I'll come find you tonight.
Yang Sheng's expression was a bit strange. Something about Chen You's words sounded a little off.
After returning to the guardhouse, Yang Sheng took out the ancient book and flipped through it.
"Fragment of Maoshan Secret Techniques: Records a portion of the talisman techniques in Maoshan Secret Techniques. You can learn them slowly, or you can choose to spend 50 points to visualize them once. Each time, your mastery will increase by 1-10%, depending on the reincarnator's comprehension and luck."
