Chapter 53 Fine points
Late at night, everything is quiet.
Gu Yuan was dreaming that he was lying on a massage chair covered with banknotes and eating fried chicken, when suddenly he felt a burning pain in his wrist, pulling him out of his sweet dream.
"Hold……"
He cursed in a daze, and when he opened his eyes, he saw a strange red light beside his pillow.
The copper coin tied to his wrist was shining brightly, burning his skin red.
"Three thousand meters to the southeast, there is a fierce ghost."
A cold voice came from the side.
When Gu Yuan turned his head, he saw Ji Yunzhou lying on his side next to him, supporting his head with one hand, looking at him expressionlessly.
"None of my business!"
Gu Yuan pulled the quilt over his head and said, "Who would go out to catch ghosts in the middle of the night? Don't bother me, I want to sleep!"
He closed his eyes tightly, trying to ignore the hot copper coins on his wrist and the "husband" beside him.
But the next second, his body sat up uncontrollably, his legs jumped off the bed on their own initiative, and he ran straight to the closet.
"Hey, hey, hey? Big brother? Ji Yunzhou! Husband? Can we discuss this?"
Gu Yuan watched helplessly as his own hands deftly put clothes on his body, almost wanting to cry: "No? What do you want to do? You are the Ghost King? Can't you go by yourself?"
The body ignored him and walked straight into the room after getting dressed.
"Ji Yunzhou, damn it!"
"Shut up."
Ji Yunzhou's cold voice rang out, this time coming directly from his mind: "If you're not actively trying to extend your life, there's something wrong with your brain."
Yes, yes, you are right.
Gu Yuan complained madly in his heart, if it weren’t for you, I would have died long ago!
How can I have time to sleep here?
I don’t know who it is that doesn’t allow me to be a wandering soul!
What a sin! Now he is staying up late at night to catch ghosts and accumulate merit to prolong his life!
Despite all his complaints, he had already strode out the door and blended into the night at three in the morning.
Half an hour later, Gu Yuan was standing in an unfinished building filled with gloomy wind.
He watched himself holding the peach wood sword, and then effortlessly forced a female ghost who was huddled in a corner and wearing a tattered red wedding dress to the wall.
The female ghost looked young, with a pale face and disheveled hair, and she cried so miserably and pitifully.
There was a thick vapor and resentment all around him.
"Master, please spare me! Master, please spare me!"
The female ghost trembled, her voice trembling like water waves: "I just... I just want to find my wedding ring... If I can't find it, I can't reincarnate..."
Gu Yuan's heart softened immediately, and he regained control of his mouth: "Wait a minute! Ji Yunzhou! She seems to have been wronged! Shouldn't we ask..."
"Why do you care so much?"
A low and cold rebuke came out of his throat!
Gu Yuan: "..."
Big Brother! Let me discuss something!
Is it okay for you to speak in your head?
Don't use my voice! It's the middle of the night, and I'm singing along to myself. I sound like a terminally ill schizophrenic!
The air suddenly became quiet.
The female ghost in red was also stunned. She forgot to cry and stared blankly at him performing schizophrenia alone.
In the end, Ji Yunzhou controlled his expression and said to the ghost in a cold voice with an expressionless face: "Where did the ring fall?"
The female ghost was frightened by him and cried even harder. She said intermittently that the ring was nearby. She accidentally fell into the unsealed sewer downstairs and drowned. The ring was probably taken away at that time.
So, ten minutes later, Gu Yuansheng squatted hopelessly beside a rusty sewer opening in the corner of the unfinished building that emitted an indescribable stench.
He looked at his right hand, which was wearing a torn glove he had picked up from the roadside, and he groped in the sticky, filthy mud without hesitation.
"Ji Yunzhou... I hate you..."
Gu Yuan wailed in his mind: "I can't keep this hand anymore, really, chop it off... Tomorrow, no, today I'm going to the emergency room and get a shot for tetanus, rabies, HPV, whatever!"
Ji Yunzhou didn't react at all.
Soon, his fingers touched a hard little ring.
When I took it out, I saw that it was indeed a very old-style gold ring, covered with indescribable black-gray oil mud that emitted a foul smell.
Gu Yuan: "..."
He just knew it!
Something bad must be happening to him when Ji Yunzhou comes!
Either they're fighting or they're cleaning the sewers!
"Thank you... Thank you, Master..."
When the female ghost saw the ring, she was so excited that her figure became much more solid. She wiped her tears, and her figure began to gradually fade, and finally turned into particles of light and dissipated in the air.
All that was left was a small puddle of water on the ground and the gold ring with a strong smell.
Gu Yuan pinched his nose and carefully picked up the ring with two fingers. He rubbed it on his trouser leg with disgust until a little gold color was revealed, then he put it in his pocket.
"You're taking this tattered thing that's stained with resentment?"
Ji Yunzhou's disdainful voice sounded in his mind.
If it weren't for the fact that exterminating such a shallowly obsessed resentful ghost would earn less merit, while helping it fulfill its wish and resolve its resentment would earn more merit, how could a great Ji Yunzhou condescend to do such a trivial thing?
"No matter how small a mosquito leg is, it's still meat! You loser! Do you know how to live?"
Gu Yuan retorted angrily, taking out his phone map and searching: "Tsk, there's a 24-hour self-service pawn shop nearby..."
"Where are you going?"
"Pawn it to buy meat! Didn't you say I was too thin and lacked yang energy?"
Gu Yuan said confidently: "Just right, let's make up for it!"
Ji Yunzhou was speechless for a moment.
He did say this, because Gu Yuan's physical foundation was indeed weak at that time.
And he almost forgot that in his current state, Gu Yuan was embarrassed, and to some extent, he was embarrassed.
Forget it, out of sight, out of mind.
Anyway, it’s Gu Yuan who is using this body now.
The lights in the self-service pawn shop were pale.
Gu Yuan faced the camera and, after a heated argument, managed to exaggerate the seemingly insignificant old ring into a treasure passed down from ancestors, with a story behind it, and blessed by a master. In the end, he successfully exchanged it for two thousand yuan.
With the warm money in his pocket, Gu Yuan went straight to the barbecue stall on the corner of the street, which was still emitting the smell of smoke at four in the morning.
"Boss! Twenty skewers of lamb! Five skewers of kidney! Ten skewers of leeks! A can of Coke!" He generously slapped out a hundred-dollar bill.
Then, he watched in shock as he devoured twenty skewers of lamb and five skewers of kidneys in a flash.
"No... Ji Yunzhou! Stop! My stomach will explode! I usually only eat five skewers at most!"
Gu Yuan screamed in his mind.
His hand paused for a moment, then he accurately picked up a bunch of roasted leeks and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Replenish your Yang energy!"
Ji Yunzhou's voice sounded slowly, with a hint of unquestionableness.
OK! You're cruel!
Use my body, spend my money, eat my BBQ!
And use my fucking mouth!
Gu Yuan was determined to break the jar and chewed fiercely. "Okay, eat! Let's see how much you can eat!"
The owner of the barbecue stall, a bald uncle in a dirty apron, came over cheerfully and said, "You have a good appetite, young man! Are you doing manual labor? Repairing cars or moving bricks?"
Gu Yuan's mouth opened automatically, and he uttered three words clearly and calmly: "Exorcist."
The smile on the boss's face froze instantly, and he even forgot to fan the skewers in his hand.
He glanced around nervously and lowered his voice, "Really? Master... well, my daughter has been saying lately that she wakes up in the middle of the night and sees someone on the ceiling... smiling at her... We all thought it was just a nightmare and didn't take it seriously... but she's had a fever and is talking nonsense these past couple of days..."
Gu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, but before he could react, he spoke on his own initiative: "Lead the way."
Half an hour later, Gu Yuan stood in the small bedroom of the barbecue stall owner's house.
There was a faint, almost imperceptible smell of mold mixed with the scent of incense and candles.
The little girl was lying on the bed, her face flushed red, and she was mumbling something incoherently.
Gu Yuan looked up and his scalp exploded instantly!
An old ghost wearing dark shroud, with wrinkles all over his face and gray skin, was hanging upside down on the electric fan hook on the ceiling!
He was grinning with a mouthful of black and yellow rotten teeth, with a long purple-black tongue hanging down, and was dripping sticky dark green saliva into the little girl's slightly open mouth!
"Fuck!"
Gu Yuan really couldn't hold it back this time and blurted out!
The visual impact is so strong!
This time, he didn't wait for Ji Yunzhou to make a move. He didn't know where he got the courage from, but he rushed over, grabbed the half-drunk bottle of mineral water on the bedside table, unscrewed it, and poured it at the old man!
Unfortunately, it was just ordinary water and had no effect.
The old ghost was startled and turned his head, grinning at him even more disgustingly, his mouth full of black teeth seemed to be wriggling.
"Still laughing? I'm here to take you away!"
Gu Yuan took a few steps back in disgust, raised his hand, and made a quick gesture.
It all happened so fast that even Ji Yunzhou in his mind didn't have time to react.
The next second, a tiny but bright golden light suddenly flashed out and hit the old ghost's eyebrows accurately!
“Ouch!”
The old ghost let out a shrill scream, and his entire body curled up and turned black in an instant like a piece of burning paper.
Then it turned into green smoke and quickly dissipated.
At the same time, the little girl lying on the bed suddenly sat up and vomited a large pool of extremely smelly black water with a wow sound.
The boss who was guarding outside rushed in when he heard the noise. When he saw his daughter woke up and smelled the smell of the black water, he was surprised and happy. He knelt down and was about to kowtow.
"No, no, no! You can't do that!"
Gu Yuan quickly dodged to the side and frantically went to help the boss: "Uncle, get up quickly! There's really no need to do this!"
He will shorten his life!
The boss was so excited that he was incoherent: "Master! Thank you! Thank you so much! I..."
Gu Yuan helped him up, his expression sincere and honest: "Uncle, there's really no need to kowtow. In our line of work... uh, it's all about fate, but also... well, that... just a token of appreciation is enough."
He rubbed his fingers together and made a universal gesture.
His goal now is very clear - to make money!
Then it is to accumulate merits to prolong life.
