Chapter 133: Unable to Summon Ghosts
Old Mrs. Xu's family? Su Zhenzhen could hardly believe what she was hearing.
If I remember correctly, Old Mrs. Xu said that her family died on the way to protect Hensheng while they were escaping. Why would their bodies be buried under a house in Yangcheng?
Are you sure?
Su Zhenzhen had only asked casually, but Chunzhi reacted strongly.
"There's no mistake. Although my mother-in-law's family isn't a prominent or high-ranking one, they are still a family, and they have their own unique characteristics in terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Their clothes are all embroidered with a layer of subtle patterns and have their own unique needlework techniques. My mother-in-law taught me these."
Chunzhi was too excited, but there are so many people watching, it's not a good thing.
Su Zhenzhen walked over and gently tugged at her sleeve, signaling with her eyes that there were still outsiders present.
Although General Hu and his family died while escorting Hensheng on his escape, they were not labeled as traitors. Now that their remains have appeared here under mysterious circumstances, it will only invite idle gossip.
Reminded by Su Zhenzhen, Chunzhi calmed down and forced herself to stay away from the corpses, standing with the soldiers.
Seeing this, Su Zhenzhen began to give orders, "Prepare seven coffins and properly bury them."
Hensheng also cooperated in appeasing the people.
"Don't panic, everyone. The government will handle this matter properly. If any family feels that the feng shui of this place is bad, the government can allocate a plot of land of the same size elsewhere."
Upon hearing this, everyone immediately focused their attention on redividing the homestead land.
Seven corpses were buried here in a mysterious way, and no one knows who did it. It would have been fine if we didn't know before, but now that we do, who would dare to live here? Even renovating the house wouldn't work; it's too unlucky and would ruin our fortune.
With the conflict shifting, the people indeed stopped discussing the remains and instead began considering where to settle down in Yangcheng.
Hensheng led the people to the county government office to register, and Su Zhenzhen then ordered Huo's army to surround the area, prohibiting outsiders from moving around during this period.
However, the common people probably won't come anymore; it's just unknown whether the officials will come to join in the fun.
After giving the order, Su Zhenzhen immediately made hand gestures and chanted incantations.
"Use yourself to guide the soul, and may the soul return!"
The sun was shining brightly, and there was not a trace of wind or clouds.
Chunzhi had never seen Su Zhenzhen summon the dead before, and assumed that the sun was too strong today for her to use magic.
"Let's perform the ritual after dark; there's no need to rush."
Su Zhenzhen's forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat.
Something's not right. Once the incantation is uttered, it can summon the souls of the dead at any time, unless all the souls here have entered the cycle of reincarnation.
Even so, a chilling wind should blow and dark clouds should cover the sky.
These eight characters are like a key, and also a stick of incense offered to Heaven and Earth.
This means to inform the divine power of heaven and earth that I want to invite the souls wandering in the human world out so that they can move around normally in the mortal realm. I ask the power of heaven and earth to temporarily refrain from the sunlight so that the souls can have a chance to appear.
But now Su Zhenzhen could clearly feel that the lock had rusted. The key was still the same key, but the incense stick that had been offered to heaven and earth had not reached the heavens. There was an invisible barrier between her and heaven and earth.
What exactly happened?
Could it be that I haven't summoned the dead for too long and the spell has become ineffective?
"Use yourself to guide the soul, and may the soul return!"
Su Zhenzhen tried again, but the sun was still high overhead, blazing and full of yang energy, and no soul could manifest itself.
The comments section was still adding to the chaos at this point.
[Are there no special effects now? Before, when my sister shouted those eight words, a gust of wind would blow.]
Are there no ghosts here? The sun is definitely shining brightly today.
[Oh my god, can someone tell me what's going on? I really want to see some sweet romance, but our main mission is still catching ghosts and ferrying souls back to their origins. I've already spent a lot of money on this, so I hope the organizers aren't trying to take advantage of this situation.]
Immediately afterwards, the comments section erupted into a heated argument over the issue of spending money. If Su Zhenzhen were to lose the ability to transfer souls again, then the points she had spent at a 1:1 ratio would be lost forever.
Annoyed by their noise, Su Zhenzhen couldn't hold back and yelled at the sky.
"Can you guys just shut up for a second?"
Chunzhi was stunned and looked around at the sky with suspicion.
Is there something I can't see watching us?
"They're watching me, it's none of your business." Su Zhenzhen really wasn't in the mood to explain. "You keep an eye on this place, I have something to do."
After saying that, Su Zhenzhen didn't wait for Chunzhi's reaction and quickly walked away.
They walked straight to Jiang Sijin's house before stopping, as Su Zhenzhen urgently needed to contact her partners in the underworld.
Logically speaking, one's ability to transfer souls should always exist and should not be limited by cross-time and space live streaming.
It makes no sense that the random script generated by the cross-time and space live stream, which requires the user to have a romantic relationship with Hensheng later on, would limit the ability to summon ghosts.
This ability came to me after joining the Underworld Partnership. Although I never summoned a ghost in the 906th century, it was because there wasn't one, not because of my own ability.
Su Zhenzhen's mind was in complete chaos, and she didn't even notice Jiang Sijin greeting her.
"Hey, weren't they saying they dug up a body in an old house? Was it resolved so quickly?"
Seeing Su Zhenzhen walking straight in like she was possessed, Jiang Sijin was displeased and went up to block her way.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"
Su Zhenzhen is very annoyed right now, and when she gets emotional, she doesn't want to talk to anyone.
"roll!"
This was the first time Jiang Sijin had seen Su Zhenzhen so angry that her eyes were red. In the past, when the two argued, although Su Zhenzhen was ruthless with her words, she always seemed to have the upper hand.
What could have made her so angry?
Su Zhenzhen was really annoyed. After yelling at Jiang Sijin, she went into a private room, locked the door, and collapsed onto the bed as if she had no bones left.
The reason I was able to intern with the underworld partners and find a job in the grim employment situation of the 906th century was all because of my special birth chart and extremely high talent.
At that time, many people went to the underworld partner interview, including many top students from major universities.
But among all the resumes, the supervisor, Sister Chao, took a liking to Su Zhenzhen's birth chart, called her into her office, and gave her a book.
Su Zhenzhen seized this opportunity, understood the book, and learned the soul-summoning technique.
Everyone has their own natural talent for food, and Su Zhenzhen was born to eat food from the underworld.
But now, is God taking away my rice bowl?
Lost in her thoughts, drowsiness crept into her brain. Before she woke up, Su Zhenzhen was still thinking that it would be nice to dream about Sister Chao.
I dreamt of Sister Chao before while I was asleep, and I hope I can dream of her again this time.
