The food of living people can also be eaten by ghosts.
There is just a big difference. Those who have offered sacrifices to their relatives know that during festivals, they always prepare incense, candles, paper money, and some meat to offer as sacrifices.
The incense and candles will be lit, and the paper money will also need to be burned to ashes. Only the bowl of meat will remain. After the sacrifice, it is taken back and generally not thrown away. The people at home will eat it.
If someone asks the elderly people at home who make these, they will say that their relatives have already eaten this bowl of meat.
Then why isn’t there less?
So this is how spirits eat human food, unlike living people. Anyone who has eaten it knows that the taste of this bowl of meat is much different, simply because it has been eaten by spirits. They eat the aroma and the delicious flavor inside, things that living people can't touch or see.
Incense and candles can also be considered food for evil spirits. If you don't inhale incense and candles for a long time, your soul will easily disintegrate, which is equivalent to starving to death.
There is still a certain difference between the ghost money here and the currency in the human world.
Ghost money is the currency between ghosts. At the same time, ghost money can be eaten, similar to incense and candles, and can satisfy hunger.
Why do souls in the human world dissipate so easily? A big part of the reason is that the family members do not provide enough incense, candles, and paper money for the souls, which starve to death and disintegrate.
In particular, some people do not pay attention to these traditional sacrifices at all, and the evil spirits that exist in the human world really cannot stay for more than a few years.
As long as the family remembers to offer sacrifices during festivals, they can generally maintain their lives. However, it is very likely that due to various reasons, some people are simply unable to offer sacrifices.
Furthermore, even if there were people offering sacrifices initially, the gap of time would have meant that no one would continue to offer sacrifices. Without other means to maintain the spirit, the Yin spirit would naturally dissipate slowly. This is the human world, not the underworld. With more Yang than Yin, it is not suitable for the survival of souls.
Yang Wanhan is a completely special case. She can live such an easy life only because she has many students all over the world. Of course, this is as it should be.
Yang Wanhan sat in a chair and inhaled the charming scent of incense and candles. She always felt that the incense and candles that Jian Yi burned for her smelled better than those from other places. After taking two puffs, she felt intoxicated and her soul and body felt more solid.
"Master Jian, your incense and candles seem a little different."
"Isn't this what I saw you buy when we came back yesterday?" Yang Wanhan still remembered that Jian Yi asked Qin Xin to drive a detour to a small alley to buy incense and candles.
She was actually a bit curious about the fact that such a shop could be open 24 hours a day, and she found it quite unusual. Even stranger was the fact that quite a few people went to that small shop to buy incense, candles, and paper money late at night.
Facing Yang Wanhan's confusion, Jian Yi did not hide the truth: "Because that shop is run by a fellow Taoist. His incense, candles, and paper money are top-notch, of course they are better than those factory-made goods."
Yang Wanhan was thoughtful. So that's how it is.
"Master Jian, why do you eat so strangely? And you seem to eat more than the average person."
At this time, Yang Wanhan remembered the question she had wanted to ask. The tornado that had passed by before really scared her.
Jane: "Because I'm not human."
Yang Wanhan: What do you mean?
Not human?
What is that?
Same as her? No, that shouldn't be the case. There was no Yin energy on the other person at all. If it was a ghost, she wouldn't be able to sense it unless it was one that could completely conceal its aura.
Jian Yi didn't explain any further, and Yang Wanhan didn't ask any more questions.
It's not an important matter, so I'd better not ask. I feel like continuing to ask will overturn her outlook on life. It's better to smoke more incense and candles, the smell is really good.
I don’t know if I can still get such good incense and candles if I go to the special department.
When the people from the other side come, she will ask about the treatment, how many incense sticks and paper money to burn in a month, and whether she can specifically ask for a specific family.
Without the guarantee of her soul and body, how can she continue to shine?
It is said that she never found a compatible partner during her lifetime. She wondered if the government would help arrange a blind date for her after her death.
Every day, there are some strong young men who die young. No one is dating, so why not go on a blind date? She thinks it's okay. Well, I have to ask about this.
It's impossible for her to be single when she's alive and still be single when she's dead, right? Decades later, if her students knew she was still single, it would be a bit ridiculous.
Jian Yi noticed that Yang Wanhan was distracted, with a serious expression on her face, as if she was thinking about something important, and she couldn't help but respect her.
Teacher Yang is probably thinking about how to teach those children next.
There are more and more ghosts now, all of whom have missed the day to go to the underworld. No ghost wants to disappear like this. When they learned that the country would take care of this matter, they immediately went to report it.
They are all good citizens of the country, and this matter cannot be ignored. Moreover, there are many talented people among these people who have made great contributions, so they really need to be properly arranged.
Fang Changsheng said that it was precisely because of the excessive number of ghosts that the country planned to establish an agency to manage ghosts and strive to replicate the current system, but it needed to be simpler.
At ten o'clock in the morning, the person who came to pick up Yang Wanhan arrived. She was someone Jian Yi was familiar with, Fang Changsheng's junior sister Xiao Qingqing.
"I'd like to know what the benefits are for teaching there. Can I specify which family's incense, candles, and paper money to use as compensation?"
"By the way, there should be more than one teacher, right? I'm fine as a teacher and a homeroom teacher, but I definitely can't run a school. I prefer getting along with children and teaching them what I've learned."
Xiao Qingqing was stunned for a moment before asking Yang Wanhan why she had to specify a specific place for the incense, candles, and paper money. After she understood, she smiled and said, "Teacher Yang, don't worry. The incense, candles, and paper money our department provides are definitely not inferior to those in that store. We have many fellow Taoists who specialize in this. They are definitely not factory-made goods."
Yang Wanhan's eyes lit up. It was indeed good to have the country as your backing. She was really confused. The best was definitely in the hands of the country. Why was she asking so many questions?
"As for how to manage the Yinling School in the future, Teacher Yang can express his opinions at that time. After all, we have already found several good principals, so Teacher Yang does not need to worry about this position."
After Yang Wanhan's problem was solved, Jian Yi also asked about Ye Ru.
Xiao Qingqing's expression suddenly turned indescribable. "Ye Ru's cultivation is a form of replenishing energy. She's quite picky, specifically targeting good-looking individuals within the circle. Ye Ru has risen to prominence in the past two years. Even though her acting isn't great, she's still a popular figure. Someone is definitely supporting her. They're supporting her because she contributed this technique. We're still investigating how many people in the circle have been affected. Quite a few people were affected, and some ran away after hearing the noise."
It can be seen that Xiao Qingqing is very angry: "If the department did not have special means, Ye Ru probably would not have revealed those people."
Those who didn't flee were all apprehended, but the problem is that some fled to faraway places, where no one knows where they've gone, making them very difficult to catch. The most terrifying thing is that these people practice evil gong and then go elsewhere to commit evil deeds. This is truly not a good thing.
"We've already posted the mission in all the major groups, and many fellow Taoists have gone to capture him." Xiao Qingqing's brows lightened with relief when she said this. "Don't worry, our country has countless talented people. Those guys are so inexperienced. Do they really think they can't be caught if they run away to other countries? Dream on."
Jane Yi: "Is there a lot of reward for catching one?"
Xiao Qingqing: "..."
So this is what Miss Jian is focusing on? Thinking of her enthusiasm for the bonus, Xiao Qingqing was not surprised.
"Well, currently the price for catching one is five hundred thousand."
Jane Yi's eyes lit up. Five hundred thousand for each, that's a pretty good price. She rubbed her hands and said, "Give me a copy of their information. I'll see if I can go over and catch them when I'm free."
"I'm worried that these people's evil skills were given to them by the person behind the scenes. It's hard to guarantee that the person behind the scenes won't do anything about it. You know what happened yesterday, right? The person behind the scenes is getting anxious." Jian Yi added, "If we can continue to catch these people practicing evil skills, that person will become more and more anxious and might even come to cause trouble for me."
"By the way, if necessary, you can spread the news that it was me who disrupted the other party's plot every time. Maybe the other party will come to me to prevent their plans from being ruined."
Xiao Qingqing was a little hesitant now: "Miss Jian, this is not appropriate." Their department had been hiding this all along, fearing that the people behind the scenes would come and harm Jian Yi if they knew about it. With Jian Yi's help, their department had been doing things much more smoothly recently. If it weren't for Jian Yi, they wouldn't have discovered such a big conspiracy. "This is very dangerous for you."
Jane: "I'm not afraid! I'm very strong."
"You also know that my partner is Qin Xin, right?"
Xiao Qingqing nodded. She had felt this a long time ago, but it wasn't until she saw it on Jian Yi's circle of friends that day that she finally confirmed it.
"Xinxin's parents have been missing for so many years. I have to find them. As long as I can't find them, I won't be able to achieve my goal."
Xiao Qingqing was a little touched. It turned out that Miss Jian was willing to expose herself because of this matter.
"I know you can't make the decision. Go back and talk to Fang Changsheng about this."
Xiao Qingqing nodded: "Okay."
Yang Wanhan was still a little reluctant to leave the villa, and Xiao Qingqing comforted her: "Miss Jian is not an ordinary person. She often cooperates with our department. It is easy for Teacher Yang to meet her."
As soon as Xiao Qingqing left, Jian Yi looked through the information she had obtained earlier, and took out her cell phone to call Qin Xin: "Xinxin."
"Aren't you coming?" It had to be said that Qin Xin knew Jian Yi a little bit. Before Jian Yi even opened her mouth, she knew what the result would be.
If the little monster wants to come to the company, he will definitely come quietly and will not call in advance.
Jian Yi: "Yes, there are some clues about Ye Ru's incident. The matter is more serious than I thought..." Jian Yi explained briefly, "It's very dangerous for these people to escape outside. I plan to go and take a look. Five hundred thousand each is quite easy to make money. In addition, I also want to see if the people behind them are involved with them again. What if..."
"Now that we've confirmed our relationship, we'll definitely have to have a wedding banquet. It would be best if both sets of parents were present, right?"
Qin Xin's eyes suddenly felt sore: "Then be careful."
This little monster thinks long-term.
We just confirmed our relationship and we are already thinking about getting married in the future.
The information Jane Yi obtained was relatively complete, including these people's appearance, names, former names, and of course the most important birth dates.
She opened the information of the first person and started to calculate based on the name and birth date. Fortunately, when she was a child, her parents used these little spells to keep her from being hungry, and before she knew it, she could order everything.
She is such a versatile beast!
The first person that Jian Yi calculated was called Qi Tuo, who was in his thirties and the son of the CEO of a film and television company. He was often on the hot search because of gossip.
It is said that this guy has a very sensitive nose. He ran away not long after Ye Ru was arrested. There is no record of him going abroad. It is hard to say whether he is in the country now. After all, this guy has practiced evil skills and is not an ordinary person.
For someone with some means, it is still very likely to sneak out, but it is a little troublesome.
Jian Yi calculated Qi Tuo's birth date and name for a while, and was suddenly stunned: "This guy is still in Rong City?"
Is this the legendary saying that the most dangerous place is also the safest place?
Since she had calculated the person's location, Jane Yi naturally wanted to go out and check. She could find him without leaving the city. Five hundred thousand was easily in her hands. She had to hurry and prevent others from finding Qi Tuo. If she could calculate it, others could calculate it too.
Relying solely on the birth date and name, one can only calculate the approximate direction, but not the specific location.
Just because she was in the same city, Jane first took a taxi to the approximate location, and then scanned an electric scooter and rode it to calculate.
Sure enough, after coming here, she found many fellow Taoists. It seemed that she was not the only one who calculated Qi Tuo's location.
She repeated to herself countless times that the first person to find Qi Tuo must be her, definitely her. With 500,000, no one else should fight for it, as they don't need that much.
Jane Yi quickly sensed it and rode quickly into a small alley, eventually stopping in front of a pet hospital.
Qi Tuo is here!
She glanced at the familiar pet hospital. Wasn't this the same pet hospital Huang Zhan was in? Qi Tuo was hiding here.
Does the other party know Huang Zhan?
Soon she remembered something. Qi Tuo's information showed that he had three dogs and two cats. It was impossible for people who kept pets in Rong City not to know Huang Zhan.
After resolving her doubts, Jane rushed into the pet hospital and went straight to where Qi Tuo was. She ran so fast that no one inside could see her clearly. She pushed open one of the rooms inside.
Qi Tuo was stroking a golden retriever, and the person sitting in front of him was Huang Zhan.
Huang Zhan was stunned when he saw Jian Yi, then quickly stood up: "Jian Yi? What brings you here?"
"Five hundred thousand." Jian Yi looked at Qi Tuo, walked over and restrained him, "Got it."
Qi Tuo's face changed drastically. He couldn't run away now. He found that he couldn't use those little spells. His face turned pale in an instant.
Huang Zhan didn't quite understand, but he guessed something was wrong: "Are you here to arrest Young Master Qi?"
"Well, this guy is practicing evil skills, he must be caught." Jian Yi patted the back of Qi Tuo's head.
Qi Tuo then argued, "I didn't force them. They did it voluntarily."
"Then why are you running? You also know that there is something wrong with your practice of evil skills, right?" Jian Yi sneered and briefly told Huang Zhan about the matter.
Huang Zhan finally understood. He had been asking Qi Tuo why he had become interested in the stray dogs in his hospital these past few days. It turned out they were seeking refuge. He knew Huang Zhan wasn't an ordinary person; he had the aura of a cultivator. However, in this world, cultivators were easy to spot on the streets.
"You are hiding here with me. Do you know something?" Huang Zhan asked.
Qi Tuo shrank his neck and said, "I accidentally saw that you had a formation here before, and I thought I could avoid it."
Huang Zhan suddenly realized something and felt a bit amused and helpless: "This formation of mine is very simple. I'm trying to prevent the small animals in the pet hospital from escaping. Do you think it can cover up your aura?"
Qi Tuo was annoyed. So that's how it was.
At this time, several people rushed in from outside. They were a little stunned when they saw the situation here, especially when they saw Jane Yi. They all shook their heads with some regret.
"I'm late."
"So it's Fellow Daoist Jian. I should have known earlier that she's in Rong City. She's so close, I definitely wouldn't miss her."
These people were the ones we encountered in the previous 279 night bus incident: the old lady, the old grandfather Lao Chen with the child... and Ding Shuang and Bai Ying who had just walked to the door.
"We're all old acquaintances." Jane Yi greeted them with a smile, "This is mine, you can figure out the others."
After a few pleasantries, the old lady and Old Chen left, but Ding Shuang and Bai Ying who was standing beside her did not leave.
Ding Shuang did this task not for money, but to take Baiying out for a walk.
"Bai Ying looks good." Jian Yi took a look at her. Bai Ying still looked silly, but it was obvious that she was a little dependent on Ding Shuang.
Ding Shuang nodded gently: "She is where she is today thanks to Fellow Daoist Jian. She is getting better and better."
She is very content to have recovered till now.
"She can talk now."
Ding Shuang's usually icy face showed a rare gentle smile when she mentioned this matter: "Although it's rare, only once or twice in a long time."
The author has something to say: Do you feel any breath?
Come, let’s take a look at the next book to be opened. I have been in good spirits recently. If nothing unexpected happens, it should be a seamless start.
I feel so ashamed to say that in the past two years, I have only written two books. I was too lazy.
The Boss Has a Girlfriend [Quick Transmigration]
Before meeting that vest maniac, Zhixun didn't know what the meaning of life was. She traveled through countless small worlds, only to find them boring.
In this life, she was reincarnated as a kidnapped daughter. She was tired of the fights and tricks of the wealthy families and was about to fall asleep when the bright-eyed girl next to her woke her up.
"Don't give up. I'll take you out. We can get out."
Later, she had a talkative and expressive little follower. The follower's dream was to become a wealthy person, and she happened to be one. With a wave of her hand, she gave her fortune to the follower. The follower said that he had no way to repay her but to marry her, and so she finally had a partner.
Zhixun thought this was his last life before falling asleep, but he didn't expect that this was just the beginning.
That vest maniac always appeared around her in various identities. She just saved this vest maniac, gave him a meal, or a piece of clothing, and said a few words to help him, but he ended up wanting to marry her.
She must have been shamelessly cheated, but... everything seemed to be getting interesting.
