Chapter 57: Urban Supernatural 9: Master needs to replenish his Yang energy...
The next day, before leaving, they stopped by the funeral shop to buy some supplies. The stuff out there was so fake. The paper money was just fake products printed by industrial manufacturers and cut out with a machine. It was completely useless. Buying it and burning it was just for the sake of ritual. This was an old shop; at least the cinnabar was useful.
The boss helped gather the things Chen Qi needed and placed them in the trunk of his car. He knew Chen Qi was going on a long journey with an uncertain return date, and he also learned about the fire at Chen's house. It was a hot topic at the time, sparking widespread discussion. A single family, deep in the mountains, had caught fire.
He didn't know the true cause of Carpenter Chen's death, and assumed he'd died in the fire. Although there had been no reports of fatalities, the house belonged to Carpenter Chen, and Chen Qi had mentioned his grandfather's death, which was enough to connect the dots. He felt deeply sorry for him.
Fortunately, although Old Carpenter Chen was gone, Chen Qi was no longer alone; he had someone by his side. The most frightening thing for people is to be left with no attachments in this world.
"When will you come back?" The boss put the last clay pot in the trunk, looked at Chen Qi and asked, "If you get married, don't forget to tell your uncle. You know the things in my house, we have the best big red candles and red cloth." He laughed as he said jokingly.
"I'll definitely tell uncle when I get married." Chen Qi also smiled and nodded. "Maybe after a while. A friend in the city asked me to work there. The salary and benefits are good. It's not a big deal when I'm alone. One person feeds the whole family. Now that I have a partner, I have to work hard and think about the future."
He didn't explain too much, using the most general terms.
The boss agreed. "That makes sense. My two children are also staying in the big city to develop their careers and only come back during the holidays. There's no point missing them; young people have their own paths to forge. As we get older, we'll just stay in our hometown and live our lives. We can't help, but we can't hold them back, right?"
Raising a child is a journey like this. From nurturing them until they grow up, to learning to let go, watching them fly away from home, while parents wait at home for their return.
Chen Qi scanned the code to pay, and there was a sound playing: "359 yuan has been paid." The boss is old and his hearing is not very good, so he asked his child to do it, and the sound was very loud.
Today is market day and also Ghost Festival. There are many people coming to the store and the boss is busy.
Chen Qi waved his hand and said, "Uncle, I have already given you the money. I will leave first. Let's talk next time I come back."
"Hey, good!"
The boss took the time to look up and responded, then turned around and went back to picking up the goods.
Most people come to buy paper clothes and paper shoes, which are burned for their deceased relatives. Now, it's trendy to buy paper villas, paper phones, and so on, with paper money costing tens of millions of yuan each.
In the eyes of insiders, burning these things is useless and is just for the wish of "blessing with wealth".
But as a human being, you can't do without this little bit of "faith" in your heart. It's also the only memory connection between the Yin and Yang people, and there's no way to tell if it works when you burn it.
Wu Yue sat in the passenger seat and didn't get out. It might not be because of her health condition, but because she didn't like sun exposure. Although it didn't hurt, she felt like she was being "burned" deep down inside.
Seeing Chen Qi get in the car, she was holding a small fan in her hand and blowing it, her hair fluttering. She looked listless and didn't even want to play games. She felt dizzy and her cheeks were red.
There was nothing that could be done about it. Chen Qi felt very distressed, so he bought a bottle of ice water for Wu Yue to cool down. Wu Yue took it and held it with both hands, her brows relaxed, and she felt much more comfortable.
Chen Qi lowered his head and opened a piece of well-wrapped red cloth, "Master, come closer."
"What are you doing?" Although Wu Yue was confused, she still leaned over.
Then Chen Qi took a black round bead from the red cloth, strung it with a red string, and put it around her neck. The black bead felt cold when it touched her skin, as if it was close to an open refrigerator, and the surrounding temperature dropped. It was very cool. Wu Yue raised her hand and touched it.
She looked down and found that the beads were engraved with dense spells, which was unusual. "What is this?"
Chen Qi played with her hair and rubbed it, then said with a smile, "The Soul Nourishing Pearl can help Master relieve his discomfort."
Wu Yue raised her eyes to look at him, "Did you do this yourself?"
Chen Qi nodded. "Yes. I learned how to make it from a book. It's not very powerful, but it still has some effect. Master, wear it first. I'll replace it when I find a better one."
"It's great to have this now." Wu Yue smiled. It was indeed much more comfortable after putting it on.
Seeing that she really liked it and had recovered her spirits to continue playing games on her phone, Chen Qi felt relieved.
"Master, if you are tired, please take a rest first. It will take a long time to drive back." He started the car and set off.
It was mentioned a while ago that it would be more convenient to run in and out. After all, he had to carry a coffin into the mountains, and carrying it himself would have attracted too much attention.
Chen Qi is in good spirits. As a young man, he has a lot of energy that he has nowhere to vent, and he can sit still.
During the nine-hour drive, he only stopped twice at a service area to take a break, took Wu Yue for a walk, bought her favorite snacks, and then continued on the road.
He could choose to use other faster and more convenient means of transportation to return to Shanghai. However, Wu Yue refused. She was no longer human and naturally did not like to squeeze into a crowd. That was why Chen Qi drove himself.
They arrived in Shanghai at around six in the evening, but instead of going home directly, they made an appointment with friends to meet at a restaurant and have dinner together.
Chen Qi has been back to his hometown for some time. Many things happened during this time and he was too busy to get any news from him. Several friends couldn't contact him and were worried that something had happened to him, so they all wanted to call the police.
I finally got in touch with Chen Qi and was relieved to know he was alright. I also agreed that if I ever return to Shanghai, I'll tell my brothers and have a good meal.
The restaurant was arranged by a local named He Yu. Knowing that Chen Qi was bringing his girlfriend, he asked about his dietary restrictions so that he could prepare everything.
Chen Qi suggested a quiet and sparsely populated place where they could eat anything, so He Yu arranged a summer resort.
However, the fact that Chen Qi found his partner after returning to his hometown caused an uproar in the group of four. They accused him of not being a brotherly person. Everyone was single, so why should he be the first to find his partner?
They were also curious about who had won over Chen Qi. You know, as the "F4" in school—well, that was just a joke. But Chen Qi did have the reputation of being the school's most handsome boy, and he had many suitors, but all of them were rejected.
Now that they have been captured, they have finally seen Chen Qi and his partner, whom they have been waiting for for so long.
However, even though they were mentally prepared, when they saw Chen Qi appear with Wu Yue, a girl who was so beautiful that she looked like a real person, they still widened their eyes.
Oh my goodness, this guy Chen Qi is so lucky to have found such a beautiful and elegant girlfriend!
Moreover, the two of them are in love, which makes people jealous and envious. When will true love come to them?
He Yu was the most active. He shouted, "Sister-in-law, do you have any sisters at home? Please introduce them to us brothers. Sister-in-law, just look at Chen Qi and you will know that we are all representatives of good men and will never do bad things!"
He patted his chest and promised, and the other two nodded in agreement.
Since ancient times, birds of a feather flock together. Chen Qi is knowledgeable about everything, and he is able to make friends who he gets along well with, so his personality and character are naturally good.
Wu Yue was silent for two seconds, then smiled and shook her head, "... Sorry, really not. I'm the only one in my family."
Seeing the three people sighing in disappointment, she looked at Chen Qi with amusement. For the happiness of her good brothers, why not make a paper figure for them?
She didn't say it explicitly, but the meaning conveyed by her cunning eyes was clear enough. Chen Qi understood it tacitly. He couldn't help laughing and secretly pinched Wu Yue's palm.
The master is just naughty, this is not something that can be done casually.
Seeing them flirting with each other, He Yu cried, "Chen Qi, come on, take care of the feelings of the three of us single dogs. Dog abuse is also abuse, you have to be kind."
Chen Qi smiled, picked up the dishes that Wu Yue liked and put them on her plate, then glanced at He Yu.
He wasn't joking, but said seriously, "What happened to you recently? I see that your forehead is black, and there are signs of blood disaster. It's a bit serious."
It had been a long time since he returned to his hometown. Chen Qi's current level of cultivation and his divine eyes allowed him to see the deathly aura lingering around He Yu.
The topic suddenly turned to this, and the three of them were stunned. Especially He Yu, who subconsciously touched his eyebrows. Could it be that he was so unlucky that anyone could see it?
He Yu didn't take it seriously, thinking that Chen Qi just happened to be there by chance. He smiled and said, "Not bad, you went back to your hometown and learned the skill of fortune-telling by face reading."
Chen Qi explained simply, "My family is in this business, and it has been passed down for more than ten generations. I am the inheritor."
Hearing this, He Yu restrained his smile, "Fuck, is this true?! Brother, don't joke with me."
"Of course it's true." Chen Qi nodded. "I didn't tell you before because I wasn't old enough and there were rules at home that kept me from talking about it."
Well, the latter sentence is the real deception.
However, humans are the best at imagining things. The three of them have already come up with the now brainwashing setting of "The five-year period has arrived, welcome the return of the Dragon King". The understanding in their minds automatically interpreted Chen Qi's words and believed them to be true.
After all, they all knew Chen Qi. He was not a person who liked to joke around. What he said was what he meant. Others could not be trusted, but what Chen Qi said was true.
"Good brother, help me!" He Yu seemed to have found a life-saving straw and complained bitterly, "You don't know how hard it has been for me, your brother, during this period. I have nightmares every night!"
Chen Qi frowned, "What's going on?"
They don't drink when they're out with their families. He Yu took a sip of his drink and explained in detail.
The He family is in the real estate business and is considered one of the leading families. He Yu is a super rich second generation, but he is not arrogant. On the contrary, he is very down-to-earth and dresses simply. In summer, he wears shorts and a pair of slippers. His main focus is on casualness and comfort.
After graduation, in order to train him, his family gave him a new project to lead and practice.
In fact, the development project had already been negotiated and was underway. All he had to do was supervise and follow up on the later stages. Born into a family in the real estate business, He Yu quickly got the hang of it.
Everything was fine up front, as they gave compensation after the expropriation. They don't oppress the people, and they give what they deserve, but they won't tolerate greed.
People who work in this industry know that there are actually many taboos, especially various worship ceremonies must be carried out before starting construction, otherwise accidents are likely to happen.
He Yu knew the seriousness of the matter. He supervised the whole process without any perfunctory treatment and was full of sincerity.
However, during the demolition of an old building, something unexpected happened. They unearthed a black coffin, placed upright. When they dug it up, the sky had changed dramatically. It had been clear, but now, over their area, it was covered in dark clouds, making the scene even more terrifying.
The He family knew many experts who were good at doing business and were able to expand their business, so they immediately invited the experts to perform a ritual.
The first few days were fine, and nothing strange happened. But soon, He Yu began to have nightmares. As soon as he closed his eyes at night, he would dream that he was locked in an airtight coffin, suffocating him to death. The feeling of being unable to breathe was as real as it was.
He had nightmares for a week straight, tormenting him terribly. He had sought help, but it was useless and the situation only got worse.
At the beginning, the nightmare was just about being locked in a coffin. In the past two days, he heard the sound of nails being hammered. He Yu's body became weaker and weaker, and he was worried that he was about to die.
But knowing that Chen Qi was coming to Shencheng today, and that the four brothers were going to get together, how could he be left out? He Yu didn't mention a single word of distress, but was full of energy and enthusiasm.
He Yu sighed and rubbed the dark circles under his eyes. "This is what happened. I was so exhausted that I almost gave up. I even stayed in a temple for a few days and donated some money, hoping that the Buddha would fight this thing head-on, but it was useless. It's all a scam."
He didn't believe it worked. Truly accomplished people rarely appeared in the world. If simply kneeling down and offering a few dozen yuan in incense money could grant a wish, then such a good thing wouldn't be possible for ordinary people. He Yu wasn't an ordinary person, he was quite wealthy, but his social class was still under pressure from the upper levels.
That is, things have come to an end, and there is no other way but to seek peace of mind. Unfortunately, it is as useless as I thought.
"You have no idea how annoying this is." He Yu said this to boost his courage, but he was also really angry. "Damn it, if you want to kill me, just come and kill me! I've never been afraid of anyone since I was a child!"
No one in real estate wants to find a coffin. If word gets out, a large investment could be lost. Furthermore, it's a strangely black, vertical coffin, which is unlucky at first glance. However, even after completing all the necessary rituals before breaking ground, this unfortunate incident still happened, and it haunted him. He Yu was at his wit's end.
He is the one who is so unlucky that even drinking water can get stuck in his teeth.
"I'm afraid this is a setup?" Wu Yue said, "If there's something wrong with this piece of land, they're just waiting for you to take the bait."
He Yu shook his head. "That was definitely our first thought after the incident. But we also ruled it out. We checked when the land was auctioned, and there were people from our He family there who confirmed that there was no problem with the land."
There is no real friendship in the business world. For the sake of market interests, it is common for competitors to be squeezed out and scheme against each other. The first person they check is definitely their competitors.
Chen Qi frowned in deep thought and asked He Yu, "What did you do with this vertical coffin later?"
He Yu said, "What else can we do? It's not good to leave it out in the open. After it was hoisted up, no one dared to touch it. We buried the coffin in a good Feng Shui location."
He really had no other choice, but he didn't know Chen Qi's strength, and He Yu didn't want him to take risks. "Brother, do you think you can solve this problem? If not, forget it, don't get involved in trouble."
"I have to check on the coffin first." Chen Qi didn't make a mindless promise, "But I can let you sleep peacefully tonight. If I'm not mistaken, you are indeed being targeted. When the coffin is sealed, it will be the date of your death."
"Hiss—" Hearing these words, the other three people's hair stood on end and they took a breath of cold air.
He Yu rubbed his arms, and a chill ran down his back. "Damn, is it that cruel?"
His eyes were filled with tears. "Brother, I leave my life in your hands."
At present, the situation is still unknown, and Chen Qi can only say, "It's late now, let's go and see the coffin tomorrow."
When they parted after dinner, Chen Qi gave a talisman he had drawn to He Yu, and also gave one to the other two. After all, they were close to He Yu and might be implicated.
"Good brother." He Yu was so moved that he wanted to cry, but he didn't dare to go back home. He just wanted to go back with Chen Qi and Wu Yue. He said that he would sleep on the floor in the living room.
Is this reasonable? Chen Qi was speechless. However, seeing how scared he was, he still asked He Yu to take off his clothes. He used a brush dipped in cinnabar to draw a spell on He Yu's back.
After finishing the writing, He Yu felt a sense of relief, and he firmly believed that Chen Qi had real skills. As a good brother, he never doubted it.
After parting with his friends, Chen Qi took Wu Yue back to his house in Shencheng.
The room is not big, a simple two-bedroom and one-living room, but it has a good location and a large balcony from which you can see the night view of the river in the distance. He bought the house when he was in his sophomore year.
Wu Yue spent a long time outside in the sun today and was very tired. She didn't want to move, so Chen Qi even took the shower for her.
After washing, she was carried to the bed. Wu Yue was already drowsy. This familiar feeling of sleepiness came over her, and Wu Yue tried hard to open her eyes, "Am I going to faint again?"
After being sealed for twenty-two long years, she is now a little resistant to sleeping.
Wu Yue was lying on her back on his thighs. Chen Qi was using a hair dryer to blow her hair. His five fingers were running through her hair. He was blowing seriously. "No, it's just that she was exposed to the sun for too long today. Master is weak because of lack of Yang energy. Stay at home and don't go out to see the sun. It will be fine after a few days."
"I don't want to. I want to go out." Wu Yue didn't stay at home this time. After all, she had been doing so for more than 20 years.
She asked, "Is there any way I can quickly replenish my Yang energy?"
Chen Qi's cheeks were hot, he hesitated to speak, his eyes were erratic, "Well, yes, yes, but..."
Wu Yue sat up, her thoughtful eyes wandering over his face and the muscular figure under the white vest.
She understood, "You mean I can absorb your yang energy?"
We just kissed and touched last night, and didn't continue to have the deepest level of negative distance communication.
Chen Qi nodded, "That's right..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wu Yue pushed him down on the bed with both hands. Then, Wu Yue sat on his abdomen, took off his clothes, and quickly exposed herself to him.
Caught off guard by the attack, Chen Qi was surprised by the surprise, and the hair dryer in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, but no one would care now.
Chen Qi was very nervous and held Wu Yue's waist with both hands.
As Wu Yue lowered her head and kissed his Adam's apple and then moved down, her whole body was ignited by her. Chen Qi's breathing became more and more rapid. He also enjoyed her touch and demands. His eyes were almost straight, his lips slightly parted as he gasped, his expression blurred, and he said foolishly, "Master, Master, I want more..."
He really likes the woman-on-top position and lets Wu Yue play with him however she wants. However, after two quick times, Wu Yue said worriedly, "What if you don't have any yang energy? I can go out and look for someone..."
"Don't even think about it!" Chen Qi was furious when he heard that. He pinched Wu Yue's waist and quickly switched their positions.
He bore her weight in his arms. Just thinking about what Wu Yue had just said about looking for someone else, Chen Qi felt extremely jealous. He lowered his head and took a light bite as a punishment.
Hearing Wu Yue's soft cry, pulling his hair was angrily, Chen Qi grinned, licked the corner of his lips to savor the taste, then lowered his head to kiss her to exchange breath. When he let go, he still said angrily, "Master, I have as much Yang energy as you want. Don't forget, I have one more soul and one more spirit than others, and my Yang energy is more than anyone else. You can't go to others! Don't even think about it!"
"Master, you see, we are a match made in heaven. There is no one in this world more perfectly matched than us."
His eyes were full of ambiguity, and he was laughing softly. It was unclear what he was describing.
The night was very long, but Chen Qi seemed tireless and became more energetic. His waist was not tired at all. I really didn't know who was taking the energy from whom.
Wu Yue was tired and retreated, "Chen Qi, that's enough..."
She felt that the amount of Yang energy she was going to get was enough to sustain her going out and playing for a few days.
"Master, don't you really want to play outside all day tomorrow? If so, then you should cooperate with me."
Chen Qi restrained her legs and held her down, preventing her from escaping by twisting her waist. After a while, he picked her up and walked around, and the two of them admired the stars and moonlight at night together.
"Hmm... Master is so awesome... Master..."
Chen Qi couldn't help himself, and beads of sweat fell along his jawline onto her fair shoulders, truly a perfect match.
Just when it was nearing the critical moment, he liked to call out "Master". Every time this happened, Wu Yue's scalp would tingle with stimulation, and she could feel that he was even more excited.
This person really... looks clean and pure, but he's actually so evil on the inside! He has so many tricks up his sleeve!
