Chapter 2361 Money Makes the World Go Round!
"I don't know how Uncle Jiu will respond, whether he will use Taoism or talisman..."
Looking at the information that turned into green-faced and fanged, with terrifying yin energy, sweeping towards Uncle Jiu, Chu Xun's eyes suddenly showed a hint of excitement and expectation.
Although his perception ability was almost lost due to his incomplete true spirit, the four ghost messengers were definitely not easy to deal with in terms of momentum. So he also wanted to see how Uncle Jiu dealt with the four ghost messengers.
Perhaps, he could see something from this.
After all, although his cultivation was not there, his eyesight was still there!
"Come on!"
At the same time, facing the four ghost messengers shooting at him, Uncle Jiu suddenly shouted coldly, and then waved his right hand, and four white lights shot out from his hands at a very fast speed.
Huh!
The four white lights were actually four pieces of white paper with unknown things written on them, and the next moment after they left Uncle Jiu's hands, the four white papers suddenly ignited and quickly turned into ashes.
At the same time, the four ghost officials seemed to be under a spell of immobilization. They suddenly paused, and the fierce yin energy in their bodies instantly subsided. Their faces also returned to the dead look of heavy makeup before. They quickly retreated and sat on the stools around the living room, without any fierceness.
"Awesome!"
Seeing that Uncle Jiu had dealt with the four ghost officials in an instant, Chu Xun couldn't help but show a look of amazement on his face.
He knew that Uncle Jiu had certain skills, but he didn't expect that he was so powerful and subdued the four guys in a blink of an eye. And even with his eyesight, he didn't see clearly how Uncle Jiu subdued the four ghost officials.
Because it seemed that the four ghost officials were not attacked, and there was no fear or shock at all. There was even a little smile in the corners of their eyes, which was really weird.
"Uncle Jiu, what is this trick!"
Thinking of this, Chu Xun couldn't help but walked over and asked: "What are those four talismans just now? They are so powerful!"
"This trick is called money makes the devil work."
Hearing Chu Xun's words, Uncle Jiu said lightly: "The four things you are talking about are not talismans, but paper money burned to the underworld. Because I have accumulated some merits and am a fairly upright person, the underworld hired me as the head of printing paper money. And just now I burned those four pieces of paper money for these four ghost messengers, firstly to tell them that I have money to settle this matter, and secondly to tell them my identity, so they will calm down."
Speaking of this, Uncle Jiu's face also suddenly showed a pained look: "It's just that this matter is really a big deal, and it takes a lot of money to settle it. Humph, when those two bastards come back, I will beat them to death."
"..."
Hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Chu Xun was speechless.
He didn't expect that the truth of the matter would be like this.
"Creaky!"
At this moment, the gate of the courtyard suddenly opened, and Wencai and Qiu Sheng also walked in stealthily.
"Huh?"
Seeing the two culprits Wencai and Qiu Sheng appear, the eyes of the four ghost officials suddenly turned cold, and they focused their eyes on the two of them.
Seeing the cold eyes of the ghost officials, Wencai and Qiu Sheng also shuddered and shrank their necks.
Their strength is far inferior to that of the four ghost officials. If they hadn't used the talismans made by Uncle Jiu to control the four ghost officials, I'm afraid any of them would be able to beat them.
However, for the sake of Uncle Jiu and Mingzhi, the four ghost officials did not immediately attack Wencai and Qiu Sheng, but turned their heads and communicated with Uncle Jiu in a strange language.
"Ghost talk?"
Hearing the words of the four ghost officials, Chu Xun narrowed his eyes slightly.
In the underworld, everyone communicates with spiritual power, so ghosts of all races can communicate freely. However, in the Yang world, if these ghost messengers cannot communicate with people with spiritual power, they can only speak the official language of the underworld - ghost language.
"What do you want!"
Hearing the words of the four ghost messengers, Uncle Jiu sighed helplessly and asked.
But after hearing Uncle Jiu's words, the four ghost messengers were all stunned, and then looked at each other with a hint of doubt.
"Sorry, I forgot that you are ghost messengers and don't understand human language."
Uncle Jiu was obviously not the first time to greet the ghost messengers, so looking at the puzzled look of the four ghost messengers, Uncle Jiu also reacted immediately, then shook his head, frowned, took out a black ball from the dishes on the table and stuffed it into his mouth, chewed it a few times, and began to communicate with the ghost messengers in ghost language.
After a while, the ghost messengers seemed to have reached some kind of agreement with Uncle Jiu, and suddenly pointed at Wencai and Qiu Sheng and said a few words, then their bodies sank, merged into the earth, and disappeared without a trace.
Wencai and Qiu Sheng didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they saw the four ghost messengers disappear. Then they came over with curiosity and said, "Master, I didn't expect you to be able to tell lies..."
"It's very simple, just eat this."
Looking at Wencai and Qiu Sheng's unrepentant look, Uncle Jiu pointed at the black meatball he had just eaten and said, "Try it, it tastes great."
"Huh?"
After hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Wencai and Qiu Sheng also showed an eager look, and then each took out a meatball and stuffed it into their mouths, chewing and eating.
But the taste of the meatballs was so bitter and strange that both Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai couldn't help but frown and asked: "Master, what on earth is this?"
"Mud, now you know what it means for ghosts to eat mud."
Uncle Jiu sneered, with a look of pride on his face.
"Bah, bah..."
After hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Wencai and Qiu Sheng reacted, and then quickly spit out the dirt in their mouths.
After spitting out the mud, Wencai and Qiu Sheng muttered some nonsense, as if they were complaining about something.
"I think you are getting tired of living."
Seeing that Wencai and Qiu Sheng were still afraid, Uncle Jiu shook his head in disappointment and said, "Do you know that you have already caused a huge disaster? You have let go of so many ownerless souls. If you can't do it tomorrow night, Capture those lonely souls, and the ghost officers will take you down to deal with them. What awaits you then is the endless punishment of the eighteen levels of hell."
At this point, Uncle Jiu suddenly pointed at Chu Xun and said: "His name is Chu Xun. Fortunately, he helped before and caught some of the orphans. Otherwise, it would have been more troublesome. Speaking of which, you have to thank him."
"Master, is he also a Taoist?"
Hearing Uncle Jiu's words, both Wencai and Qiu Sheng glanced at Chu Xun, but Qiu Sheng seemed to be unconvinced by the guy in front of him who didn't look strong and seemed to be a little younger than himself. He asked, "I think he looks good. He looks like he has no body, and he’s still so young. Isn’t he that powerful?”
"Chu Xun is not a Taoist, but he is extremely talented and knows how to control the power of thunder and lightning, so he can help me as a teacher."
Uncle Jiu is such a shrewd person. When he heard Qiu Sheng's words, he knew what Qiu Sheng was thinking. Then he smiled faintly and said, "You can learn more when you have time. Chu Xun is preparing to become my disciple now. If he passes If he passes the test, he will be your junior brother.”
At this point, Uncle Jiu's expression suddenly became solemn and he said: "But before that, there are still things to do, so come with me."
After saying that, Uncle Jiu turned around and walked towards the backyard of the courtyard.
"Master, why are you going?"
Looking at Uncle Jiu's serious look, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but ask.
"Move the reinforcements!"
Uncle Jiu sighed and walked forward without stopping.
Ghosts were originally invisible and insubstantial things, but now that there were so many ownerless souls wandering around, it was impossible for him to capture all of them in just one day with his own strength.
Because of this, he can only use the Maoshan secret technique to ask his fellow disciples for help.
After hearing Uncle Jiu's words, Chu Xun and others did not dare to neglect, and followed Uncle Jiu to the backyard.
Soon, Uncle Jiu opened an altar in the backyard and used a Bagua mirror to transmit his message for help through the altar to all his brothers.
Seeing this scene, Chu Xun also nodded thoughtfully.
In his opinion, Uncle Jiu's method was not surprising. He just used magic weapons to increase his mental power, and then used his mental power to communicate with other disciples. From this point of view, Uncle Jiu's cultivation level should not be too high, at least it is far from the god level.
Otherwise, why would it be so troublesome?
Thinking of this, Chu Xun suddenly became confused.
Could it be that he was looking in the wrong direction? Otherwise, how could Uncle Jiu have been able to help him reshape his true spirit based on his abilities alone?
However, although he had doubts in his heart, Chu Xun had no other way now. In addition, he had come into contact with the side mission from Uncle Jiu, so after much deliberation, he could only continue to look for clues from Uncle Jiu.
Perhaps, we can really find some secret technique to turn decay into magic?
