Chapter 38 Chapter 38
By the time the evil ghost calmed down and was able to have a good conversation with Yuan Tian, half an hour had passed. Fortunately, the evil ghost had become a member of the underworld and was subject to rules and regulations, otherwise he might have skinned Yuan Tian and Tang Yang alive.
"Come to think of it, I thought you would be promoted directly to a formal Yincha." Yuan Tian touched his chin with some surprise, "It seems that the underground is not particularly short of people, otherwise with your ability, you should be promoted directly to the post after going through the procedures."
The evil ghost's face darkened even more, and he said nothing. But his younger brother, the evil ghost who had dealt with Yuan Tian and his friends before, told him the truth: "Hey, Boss Yuan, you don't know! The reason why our boss is just an intern is because the ghosts in the underground are immoral!"
He was filled with indignation: "I've inquired about it. The salary of an intern is half of that of a regular employee, and there is no vacation!"
Yuan Tian's pupils shrank: "So cruel!" Hiss, he seemed to see his future after death!
Tang Yang also took a breath of cold air: "Suddenly I feel that I am really kind to my employees!" Even Zhou Baopi is not that kind.
Yuan Tian looked at him with a sad face: "If I had known earlier, I would have asked Master to work harder while he was alive, so that he could become a high-ranking official as soon as he got there. That way, by the time I get there, he might have changed the system, and I would be able to reap the benefits."
Tang Yang whispered to him, "It doesn't matter. When you get down, you can work hard on your own and try to make me win by doing nothing when I get down."
"Brother Tang, why are you like this? I don't want to work hard, I just want to sit back and enjoy the fruits of my labor..."
The two chatted for a while without paying attention to the people around them. The evil spirit next to them finally couldn't stand it anymore and said coldly, "Shut up!"
Yuan Tian and Tang Yang then turned their attention back to him, and Tang Yang did not forget to ask: "What's your name?"
The evil spirit gritted his teeth and spat out three words: "Yu Qingfeng."
The name seemed to be completely different from the appearance. Yuan Tian was upset and pretended to say, "It turned out to be Brother Yu. I am so sorry. I wonder how Brother Yu is going to deal with the little brother's matter next? If it has nothing to do with us, we will leave first."
Yu Qingfeng was unmoved and snorted coldly: "If you dare to leave, I will order my men to make your home unpeaceful forever!"
After saying this, seeing that Yuan Tian was visibly wilting, he turned his gaze with satisfaction to the young ghost who was chatting happily with Xiao Jing. A dark light flashed in his hand, and a booklet appeared out of thin air. He then flipped it open and looked at it, and said indifferently: "Qian Kai, you should have lived to be eighty-one. Now your life span has suddenly changed, and you are about to die. Qian Kai, why did your soul leave your body?"
The young ghost, Qian Kai, immediately stood at attention and said, "Sir, this is what happened..."
Qian Kai himself didn't understand what happened. A few days ago, when he was walking on the road at night, he bumped into a man in black robes and was inexplicably beaten. Then his soul was pulled out of his body by the man, and he watched a black mist float out of the man's body and try to get into Qian Kai's body.
But the black fog went in for a short while and then floated out again, and then the man in black robe left. Only Qiankai was left there, unable to return to his body, and he had no one to turn to for help, until his body was found by a sanitation worker who got up early and sent to the hospital.
"...Anyway, my body is still lying there like a vegetable. I'm wandering around the streets in search of help from someone who can see ghosts."
Qian Kai was in a very low mood: "But I have been looking for it for a long time and still can't find it, and my body seems to be unable to hold on any longer. I don't know if my soul will disappear if my body dies. So I just wanted to watch a movie for free before it disappears. As a result, I noticed that the two gentlemen can communicate with ghosts..."
As he spoke, he glanced at Yuan Tian and Tang Yang, his eyes full of gratitude. Although they couldn't help him come back to life, these two also helped him, so that he no longer wandered around like a lonely ghost.
Seeing that he was in a bad mood, Xiao Jing patted his shoulder with sympathy. Although he had been a wild ghost for many years, he was living a comfortable life now that he met his eldest brother and Brother Tang. Compared with Qian Kai, who had an uncertain future, he was much happier.
Yuan Tian and Yu Qingfeng looked at each other, both with a serious look on their faces.
Seeing his beloved flirting with another ghost, Tang Yang felt a sour taste in his mouth. He pursed his lips and asked, "Did you guess something? Can you tell me?"
He was not a person with a strong thirst for knowledge, but because of his son Yuan, he always wanted to try to understand and get in touch with those things. In this way, he would not be defeated by time and topics in the future.
Yuan Tian didn't hide anything from him and whispered to him, "You've heard about possession, right? That person wanted to possess Qian Kai's body. But later, for some reason, he failed."
"So, that person is actually a ghost?" Tang Yang asked.
Qian Kai probably heard what they said, and said, "No, he should be a person, with a shadow. One of his hands is still bandaged and bleeding."
Still bleeding, it must be a living person. But, why would a living person take over the body of a seemingly ordinary human? Yuan Tian couldn't figure it out, and just looked at Yu Qingfeng. He didn't want to get involved in this matter, after all, there was a ghost. If he didn't owe this evil ghost, he and his brother Tang would have paid back the family long ago.
Yu Qingfeng didn't say anything, just said: "Take us to where your body is."
Well, this means that they still don't plan to let Yuan Tian and the others get away. Who can blame the other party for having so many ghosts and so many forces? Yuan Tian and Tang Yang looked at each other, feeling helpless.
When they arrived at the hospital, it was already past the visiting hour. Yuan Tian had to use some tricks to bring Tang Yang in. Qian Kai's family seemed to be well-off and he lived in a single room.
Inside the ward, Qian Kai's unconscious body was lying on the bed with various machines attached. Next to her was a sleeping woman, whose profile looked somewhat similar to Qian Kai's. As soon as Qian Kai saw her, he called her "sister".
Yu Qingfeng helped him enter his sister's dream, giving him some time to say goodbye to his sister. Then he and Yuan Tian came to the bedside, and the man and the ghost reached out their hands to Qian Kai. After a moment, they withdrew their hands.
"There is only a slight fluctuation of spiritual power." Yuan Tian frowned, "Could it be that after taking over Qian Kai's body, the man found that Qian Kai's spiritual power was too weak, so he gave up on his own initiative?"
"It's possible." Yu Qingfeng said coldly, and then said: "But since he is a living person, why does he want to take over someone else's body? Moreover, the soul can leave the body at will, what kind of thing is that..."
Tang Yang was listening to the two people's discussion and couldn't help but interrupt: "Is it possible that the person's current body was also taken over? If he is not a human, wouldn't it be easier for his soul to leave his body or possess another body?"
"It's possible, but I don't know what kind of evil method he is practicing." Yuan Tian shrugged nonchalantly, "Brother Yu, I'll trouble you to worry about this matter."
He doesn't want to get involved in this kind of trouble. He wants to spend more time in love while he's still alive!
Tang Yang saw his attitude and naturally would not look for trouble. He wished that his A Yuan would be by his side every day and talk about love with him.
Yu Qingfeng had a gloomy face, snorted coldly and said nothing, then turned to settle old scores with Yuan Tian: "Help me find someone, you owe me."
Looking for someone again? Yuan Tian frowned: "You've been dead for so many years, the person you're looking for must have been reincarnated many times. Can't he be found in the files of the underworld?"
When this matter was mentioned, Yu Qingfeng's face became even worse: "He died the year after I died, but his soul disappeared without a trace."
Yuan Tian's face changed slightly, and he wanted to ask Yu Qingfeng if he had ever thought that the person he was looking for had already died. But looking at Yu Qingfeng's stubborn eyes, he couldn't say it. He could only say: "Okay, give me his information, and I'll try to find it in the human world."
Yu Qingfeng's face lightened up slightly, and he reported some information to him: "His name is Mo Weian, he was my deputy general, born in..."
Yuan Tian silently wrote down the information he said, but did not notice that not far behind him, Xiao Jing, who was originally sitting with his chin in his hand waiting for them to deal with things, looked empty for a moment when he heard the three words "Mo Weian".
Tang Yang did notice it, but the kid returned to normal in a blink of an eye, so he didn't take it to heart.
When Qian Kai appeared in front of them again, his whole body was filled with a heavy aura. He said in a muffled voice: "Master Yincha, after I leave with you, will my body die immediately?"
"Your soul has been away from your body for too long, so you are already dead." Yu Qingfeng glanced at the pale young man on the hospital bed. "It's just that your family members don't want to let go, and have been using machines to keep you breathing. It's a pity that your life force has long been gone, and your soul can't return. It's just a waste of effort. When you sign in with me in the underworld, your body will naturally die completely."
"Okay." Qian Kai responded sullenly, then looked at Yuan Tian and bowed: "Boss Yuan, you will be my boss from now on! I will stay well underground, explore the way to survive, and wait for your visit!"
Yuan Tian was somewhat touched: "Thank you for your hard work."
Yu Qingfeng on the side glanced at him coldly, then looked at Qian Kai and sneered. Naive, another fool who was cheated and still helped count the money.
When Yuan Tian and Tang Yang walked out of the hospital hand in hand, they seemed to hear Qian Kai's sister crying loudly in the ward.
He scratched Tang Yang's palm with his index finger and whispered, "What are you thinking about?"
Tang Yang stared at him with dark eyes for a while before he said in a muffled voice, "I just suddenly felt that I am not that open-minded about life and death."
If Yuan became like Qian Kai someday, he would probably do what Qian Kai's family did, trying to keep him at all costs, even though they knew he was just a living dead and couldn't wake up.
Yuan Tian was silent. He naturally knew what Tang Yang meant. After a while, he smiled and said, "It's okay. It's okay to keep it as a thought."
Anyway, his big brother Tang is rich, and he can still afford to support a vegetative person. Yuan Tian thought so, and was about to comfort his big brother Tang again, but he inadvertently saw a familiar figure in the distance from the corner of his eye.
He paused, and looked over there again, but there was nothing there.
"What's wrong?" Tang Yang's worried voice sounded, "Why are you staring at the other side of the street?"
Yuan Tian finally came back to his senses and shook his head: "No, I just seemed to see my master... It must be an illusion..."
Xiao Jing behind him suddenly said, "Boss, are you talking about the old man with completely white hair? I saw him too, but he disappeared in the blink of an eye."
Yuan Tian was startled and looked at him excitedly: "Did you really see it?"
"Yes," Xiao Jing confirmed, "Although he disappeared very quickly, I am sure he was looking at you."
Yuan Tian pursed her lips and stared blankly across the street.
"Do you want to chase after him?" Tang Yang's voice was a little cautious.
"No need for that," Yuan Tian shook his head gently, "If that stinky old man wants to hide from me, there's no way I can find him."
He looked at Tang Yang again and forced a smile: "It's getting late, let's go home."
"Okay." He took Yuan Tian's hand and joked, "Your master's elusive behavior is very similar to my grandfather. I now feel more and more that they are the same person."
Yuan Tian was happy: "That's great, you have to call me uncle."
Xiao Jing was also happy: "What about me? Is Brother Tang going to call me uncle too?"
"Go away," Tang Yang glared at him unhappily, "You are like our son, and you still want me to call you uncle? Aren't you afraid of shortening your life?"
Xiao Jing curled her lips and said, "I don't have much life to lose, what am I afraid of?"
"Okay, my two big boys, let's go, it's almost dawn..."
"How come I'm your eldest son again..."
The family of three was arguing loudly, and when they got home it was almost dawn.
After washing up, Yuan Tian still couldn't sleep for a while. He simply sat in the corridor and stared at the gradually brightening sky in a daze.
Tang Yang brought her a cup of brewed soy milk and asked with concern, "What are you thinking about?"
"Thank you," Yuan Tian took it, took a sip, and then said casually, "I was wondering why my master refused to come out to see me and just hid in the dark to observe."
"Maybe he has some unspeakable difficulties." Tang Yang comforted him, "But since he still secretly looks at you, it means he cares about you very much."
At this point, his eyes were slightly bitter, but his voice was light: "Does your master care so much for every disciple?"
"No," Yuan Tian thought for a moment, "He was quite fierce to his senior brothers, but he was only a little nicer to me. He used to buy me snacks and other things. I remember one time when I was angry, he even went down the mountain to buy me some candied haws..."
As he spoke, he laughed: "Although that old man is quite mean and likes to cheat me, he is also very good to me."
Tang Yang had a hint of envy in his eyes, and suddenly an idea came to his mind, and he said, "He's so good to you, is it possible that he is actually your biological father?"
Yuan Tian was stunned for a moment, and looked at him with a dull look in his eyes: "Father, father?"
"Right," Tang Yang analyzed it based on his years of experience watching soap operas. "You see, your master has more than one disciple, but he favors you. Also, your senior brother said that the old man originally wanted you to succeed him as the head of the sect. Moreover, why should you pay back the debt he owes instead of your senior brother? It's only natural that the son should pay the father's debt!"
Xiao Jing came over and said excitedly, "Hey, isn't that just like what's shown on TV? Boss, that's how it's shown on TV, saying that the master did that to protect his son..."
The two of them talked back and forth, with solid arguments, which left Yuan Tian stunned.
He gradually began to doubt his origins. That's right, his parents didn't have much spiritual power. If you think about it carefully, it's unlikely that they would give birth to a child with such strong spiritual power! From the perspective of genetics, it doesn't make sense. But if his biological father is his master, it's not impossible...
Yuan Tian's thoughts gradually became a little confused, and she waved her hand and said, "I'm going to rest. Good night."
After saying that, he floated back to his room.
Looking at his distraught back, Tang Yang couldn't help but raise his eyebrows and touch his chin: "I just said it casually, Yuan wouldn't take it seriously..."
Xiao Jing also imitated him and touched his chin: "But, it was indeed played like this on TV..."
At this moment, inside the Kongmen Temple, the head monk was holding a piece of jade armor in his hand and dialing the phone with a heavy face.
As soon as the call was connected, he called out "Junior Brother" in a rare serious manner, and then said, "I have something very important to tell you..."
Yuan Tian's dull voice came from the microphone: "Brother, you don't have to say it, I know everything."
The head brother was stunned for a moment, a little confused: "What do you know?"
Yuan Tian, who had just returned to her room, closed the door casually. She pinched her fingers on the phone until her knuckles turned white, and said sullenly, "The fact that Master is actually my biological father..."
There was silence on the other end of the phone. Yuan Tian smiled bitterly and said, "Brother, don't worry. I won't be too sad. I believe that Master must have his own difficulties, so he concealed this from me..."
"No," the head brother's deep voice came, "You are only in your early twenties, and the master is in his early 120s."
"Huh?" Yuan Tian was confused.
There was helplessness in the head brother's voice: "For a centenarian to give birth to a child at such an advanced age..." It's impossible!
"Ah..." Yuan Tian suddenly realized, "So Master is afraid that I will be regarded as a medical miracle and captured for research, so he doesn't recognize me?"
Master Brother: “…………”
