Chapter 427: Why do you, a ghost, need money?

"Which evil ghost are you from? Are you from the Jiuyou Sect?" Zhao Pohu took advantage of the power of others to interrogate the drowned ghost.

The Drowned Ghost shook his head vigorously, emphasizing that he had no ill intentions: "I came here purely by accident, really."

"I was originally a fisherman in the East China Sea. I was unwilling to resign after drowning, so I turned into a wronged ghost. By chance, my body came across a piece of Yinfeng Stone, and I became a drowned ghost."

"The East China Sea is boundless, with all kinds of creatures and schools of fish. I secretly absorbed the Yang energy of various sea creatures and gradually improved my cultivation. From a drowned ghost who couldn't stand the sun, I was promoted to a drowned ghost in the Qi training stage, and now I have the ability to protect myself."

"After I protected myself, I relaxed and wandered around the East China Sea, jumping out of the water from time to time to scare people. I became more and more courageous and wanted to go to the deep East China Sea where I dared not go before. As soon as I left the safe waters, I encountered a king fish weighing more than 100 kilograms. It opened its mouth and almost sucked me in."

"As soon as I saw this was not going to work, I quickly ran to safe waters and was determined not to leave the safe waters!"

"I slowly practiced in the safe zone, absorbing the yang energy of the fish, and sometimes stealing the offerings of the fishermen."

"We fishermen have the habit of offering sacrifices to the East China Sea. I drowned, which shows that offering sacrifices to the East China Sea cannot guarantee safety. Feel free to eat the sacrifices."

"Later, I didn't know what realm I had reached in my cultivation. I just kept cultivating without paying attention to anyone. One day, I met an immortal cultivator who wanted to capture me and refine me. I easily chased him away and took his storage ring and some techniques. After studying the techniques, I realized that I had reached the late stage of foundation building. By then, I had been dead for two hundred years."

"After knowing the direction of cultivation, I continued to cultivate. After another eight hundred years, I finally cultivated to the middle stage of Nascent Soul. During this period, I never left the safe sea area."

"I originally planned to leave the safe sea area after reaching the Spiritual Transformation Stage, but I didn't expect that someone would sneak attack me and slap me unconscious. When I woke up, I was already in this pool of water."

Lu Yang interrupted the drowned ghost's confession: "So you don't know who brought you here?"

"have no idea."

"What are the characteristics of that person?"

"Better than me."

"…Go on."

"It took me several days to figure out the situation. It turns out that this place is near Hanshui City in Huangzhou, the Great Xia Dynasty. It is the westernmost part of the Central Continent and is separated from the East China Sea by an unknown number of miles."

"I can't take a flying boat in my situation, so I can only stay here."

"When I was looking around, I met a couple in Baishui Village. The man's name was Liu San, and the woman's name was Huang Zaoer. They're this person." The drowned ghost pointed at the unconscious woman lying next to him.

"At first, the two men were very scared when they saw me, but later, when they saw that I had no ill intentions, they became bolder and asked me if I could create the illusion that Huang Zaoer had drowned so that they could defraud insurance and give me a portion of the compensation."

"I was penniless at the time and in urgent need of money, so I agreed to their request."

"With my ability, it is very easy to create the illusion that Huang Zao'er was drowned. The coroner can't tell the truth from the false. After receiving the compensation, I will show that Huang Zao'er was buried, but in fact he was hidden with me."

"The couple plans to leave Baishui Village and live in another city after the news has died down."

"But I didn't expect that right now, during the period of cracking down on ghosts, the imperial court would cooperate with some kind of corpse-driving sect to specifically target me."

"I don't want to make a big deal out of this, so I'll run away when I see someone. If I can't run away, I'll scare them away. I just scared away a Jindan-stage warrior a few days ago, and now here come four of you Jindan-stage warriors!"

The drowned ghost looked aggrieved; he almost lost his life for a little compensation.

The four of them would not just listen to the drowned ghost's one-sided story. Lu Yang asked, "Why did Huang Zaoer fall into a coma?"

"I knocked her out. It would have consumed too much mana to let her live freely in the water. It would have been better to knock her out directly and put a cover on her to save effort."

"Wake her up."

"OK."

The drowned ghost dared not disobey, so he cast a slight spell, and with a flick of light from his index finger, Huang Zaoer was woken up.

Huang Zaoer was dazed and didn't know what was happening, then he saw four people and a corpse surrounding him, the feeling of oppression was shocking.

Huang Zaoer had never seen such a situation before, so he answered every question and said basically that the couple had evil thoughts and wanted to defraud the insurance, so they colluded with the drowned ghost to defraud the Chamber of Commerce of compensation.

"That's not right. Why do you, a ghost, need money?" Meng Jingzhou narrowed his eyes and keenly noticed the logical loopholes in the drowned ghost's confession.

The yin energy of ghosts is too strong, which will make mortals feel uncomfortable instinctively. Ghosts are too conspicuous, and even entering the city is very difficult. It takes a lot of effort to disguise, not to mention buying things on the street.

As for going to the Chamber of Commerce, it is even more impossible. The Chamber of Commerce is full of cultivators who can see through the disguise of ghosts at a glance.

Besides, the compensation of a mortal is so little that it may not even be enough to pay a few spirit stones. What is the use of such a small amount of money for a ghost in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, who can call the wind and rain in the East China Sea?

Look at the three sexy ghosts, Xiaowu, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi. They provide services door to door at night and don’t ask for any money for their hard work all night.

"How courageous! You dare to lie to us!" A raging fire burned in Meng Jingzhou's body, and he glared at the drowned ghost.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"Really? Even if I'm a ghost, there are places where I can use money!" The drowned ghost cried out for injustice and hurriedly explained.

"Look, I'm a fisherman who drowned in the sea. I've always lived in the sea and am a sea ghost. Now I'm in the cold pond. Although the Yin energy is enough, it's fresh water after all, and I'm not used to living here."

"I will let Liu San and his wife get the compensation money, spend it to buy salt, and pour it into the lake water, so that the lake water can be changed from fresh water to salt water."

Lu Yang: “…”

Meng Jingzhou: “…”

Man Gu: “…”

Zhao Po: “…”

It was the first time they heard that water ghosts could be divided into sea water ghosts and fresh water ghosts.

Lu Yang secretly sent a message to Zhao Po: "You have many ghosts in Huangzhou. Have you heard that water ghosts are divided into seawater ghosts and freshwater ghosts?"

"Our Huangzhou is separated from the East China Sea by an entire continent. This is the first time I have seen a ghost in the East China Sea." Zhao Po felt that his experience was not enough.

Man Gu was accustomed to this and even proud of it.

Following Brother Lu and Brother Meng, you can gain new insights wherever you go.

The Immortal Fairy rolled over on the bed, tossing her little feet back and forth, mocking Lu Yang for not being broad-minded enough: "You are ignorant, right? Have you forgotten the two kinds of first-grade golden elixirs I told you about? One is called the Three Rivers and Five Lakes Pill, and the other is called the Infinite Ocean Pill. The biggest difference between the two is that one uses salt water and the other uses fresh water!"

"Sir, didn't you use your sleeve to suck up all the water from the pond? You will know once you taste it!" The drowned ghost was still looking for evidence to prove that he was telling the truth.

Lu Yang asked with a dark face: "Where did the fish in the pond go?"

“It’s so salty.”

The second update will be before eleven o'clock
