Chapter 006 Table of Contents

The ominous winds that once blew have now completely vanished

This iron chain appears both real and illusory; it seems to pass through the physical barrier that obstructs him as if it does not exist at all

Hello, it is unfortunate for the family that such a thing has happened

These past few days, they have caused quite a disturbance in the household

Butler Liu did not have the time to explain to him now; he simply dismissed him by saying, "It's fine, you suddenly fainted just now. Let them help you back to rest for a while, and we will discuss this matter later."

Then, feigning seriousness, he recited the incantation, finally igniting the candle beside the inscription. Suddenly, he thrust the peach wood sword forward, precisely piercing the inscription in the center

"Daoist Xitan, I was just being short-sighted earlier, please do not be angry. There is no question regarding the money; I will add another two taels for you, making a total of seven taels of silver."

The people present are completely unaware that they are currently facing the threat of a female ghost

Seeing that Yang Heng had calmed down, Steward Liu hurriedly instructed a young servant present to escort Yang Heng to a guest room to rest, and also had someone prepare a late-night snack again

As the two figures looked into the courtyard, they discovered that it was filled with mere mortals, which left them somewhat perplexed

Even in the midst of it all, a strong and vigorous family was also left in a daze

We had an agreement, five taels of silver. You can't just turn your back on me after performing the ritual, can you

The other onlookers also dispersed in a rush, retreating to a distance.

A few days ago, although this female ghost possessed some abilities, she truly could not approach these strong and vigorous servants.

Little Hou, are you alright

Once the ritual was completed, everything returned to tranquility

Master, this Taoist has some skills; the sound of Aunt Qiaoyun's crying can no longer be heard in the courtyard.

As the female ghost was unable to approach Yang Heng, she set her sights on the servants who were watching Yang Heng perform his rituals from the periphery

That means my work is done, so please hurry and pay me

Thus, Yang Heng hurriedly returned to the offering table and picked up the document he had prepared earlier.

The individuals present, including Yang Heng, are all mere mortals; they are completely unaware that after the document is consumed by flames, it does not turn to ashes, but rather a ball of golden light emanates from the document.

Yang Heng felt somewhat guilty upon hearing this. Although he had a certificate in modern society, in this ancient context, he lacked such documentation. To put it bluntly, he was indeed a false Taoist.

The intermittent ghostly howls have now also vanished.

The result showed a steward collapsed nearby, while the others kept their distance as if avoiding a plague.

I remarked on how rude that butler was, only to realize that I had indeed forgotten a procedure. If this were to end like this, I would surely be looked down upon by others

If it were not for holding onto the rice bowl of Wang Dashan, I actually would not want to get involved in this matter, after all, what has been done this time is somewhat morally troubling

As Yang Heng passed by the sick steward, the steward, who had already been possessed by a ghost, surprisingly showed signs of revival

He looked around and saw only his usual companions, all of whom were keeping their distance, leaving him alone in that place

"Steward Liu, I am fine. What exactly just happened?"

Next, Butler Liu signaled to the other servants, who could only brace themselves and come over to assist this member of the Hou family, leaving the front courtyard

Unaware of all that had transpired, Yang Heng believed that his ritual had been completed

While Butler Liu was there trying his luck, preparing to confront Yang Heng, a change occurred on the scene

At that moment, the house servant who had been possessed by the ghost finally came to his senses, albeit in a dazed manner

As soon as the golden document flashed, it vanished into the passageway

It seems that it is not that the Taoist priest lacks ability, but rather that the magician has not completed the ritual. As soon as the ritual was finished, everything became calm.

In the distance, Butler Liu, who was arguing with Yang Heng, upon seeing this scene, stopped quarreling with Yang Heng, brushed him off, and approached the household servant.

With the appearance of this golden document, it was as if a passage had suddenly opened in the void, and a black vortex slowly began to form

The ghostly figure that was pulled out was extremely unwilling; despite being tightly bound, it continued to struggle incessantly, while the dark energy and resentment on its face grew increasingly intense

The steward sighed and then went towards their master, Wang Dashanren, behind him

However, when he arrived in front of the house servant, he lunged forward and bound the servant tightly. Then, the shadow shook, and a clawing ghostly figure was pulled from the servant's body.

At this moment, Yang Heng, who had just completed the ritual and shattered all eight tiles, was preparing to pack up immediately

Standing beside him, Butler Liu also did not know how to respond

Steward Liu stood at a distance, watching Yang Heng, who shamelessly licked his face to ask for money, and truly wanted to spit in his face

Yang Heng feels a profound sense of insecurity in this unfamiliar world; he believes that only by having silver in his possession can he find some semblance of peace in his heart

At this moment, Yang Heng was pulling on Butler Liu, demanding money.

Especially that Butler Liu, upon seeing the servant beside him faint, immediately jumped a few times to the side.

Yang Heng felt somewhat puzzled, wondering what the issue was with conducting a funeral ceremony. After all, it was merely a matter of dealing with the deceased.

Upon hearing these words, Wang Dashanren's heart, which had been bouncing with excitement, finally calmed down

What is going on? Why are you all hiding so far away?

However, such matters must never be acknowledged

The golden light lingered in mid-air for a moment, then transformed into a shimmering document of gold.

At the beginning, this Taoist priest confidently assured that there would be no issues, but halfway through the ritual, one of his servants was possessed by a ghost.

In the distance, another servant, seeing that this person had awakened, still did not dare to approach, but only asked from afar: "Are you the old marquis or a female ghost?"

Yang Heng saw that the other party had admitted their mistake and agreed to give an additional two taels of silver, and immediately cast aside the earlier displeasure.

It turned out that now, from that black hole, wisps of black smoke were drifting out, and eventually, as the smoke dispersed, two indistinct figures emerged.

The two figures exchanged glances and nodded at each other, then clasped their hands towards Yang Heng without uttering a word. Following this, one of the shadowy figures flicked his sleeve, and a black iron chain shot out from his sleeve, heading straight for the house servant

Then Yang Heng took the peach wood sword and began to perform tricks in the courtyard until the paper talisman was completely burned.

He placed the peach wood sword on the offering table, turned around, and said to Butler Liu: "Butler Liu, my ritual is complete; what do you suggest we do next?"

What are you saying? Who is the female ghost? Your whole family is made up of female ghosts

This made Yang Heng somewhat emotional. Who said that the customs were simple and honest in ancient times? Here, his colleague fell ill and collapsed on the ground, while those nearby kept their distance, fearing they might catch the illness.

Then the shadow shook the iron chain, which seemed to be like a living snake, coiling around the female ghost and returning to his side

When this man fainted, it immediately startled the others, leaving them terrified and shaken

This time, Butler Liu confirmed that this Taoist indeed possesses some skills

At the beginning of the ritual, the courtyard was filled with ominous winds and ghostly wails

Thus, the female ghost lunged forward, embracing a house servant in her arms.

The man still did not understand what was happening when he suddenly felt a chill pass by, and then his eyes rolled back, causing him to faint on the ground

As soon as the butler entered, Wang Dashanren eagerly inquired, "How is it?"

What kind of ritual are you performing? It is completely ineffective. I see you are just a fake Taoist who deceives people for food and drink.

In the lower corner of the document, there is a seal that emits a unique red glow

The servant, upon seeing that the tone of the house servant was the same as before, finally felt somewhat reassured. He slowly moved closer to the house servant, touched his hand, and found it to be warm, thus confirming that the house servant was indeed fine.

As Yang Heng thought about it, recalling the process of his actions, he suddenly slapped his forehead

Now he is shamelessly asking for money, how can his face be so big

Thus, Yang Heng disregarded everything else and directly approached the steward

How can this be? Coming to this world alone, unfamiliar with the surroundings, it is not easy. This time, I am performing a ritual to earn some money. If the other party is stingy, how will I live in the future

It turns out that this was swept by the red light released from Yang Henghuai, which caused the ghostly energy to be somewhat unstable

I do not know what happened, but this female ghost seemed to be frozen in place by the fright, no longer struggling at all

However, today is not like any other day; it marks the seventh day since the death of this female ghost, which is also when her powers are at their strongest

Immediately following, the black vortex gradually dissipated, as if nothing had ever occurred

While the two individuals were in doubt, Liu Heng noticed that the steward was standing there without taking any action, assuming that the other party was unwilling to pay

Seeing this scene, the shadow that was pulling him seemed to become angry as well, and shouted at the female ghost: "Wretched being, a Taoist master has already helped you, yet you still refuse to obediently follow me to report to the City God. If you dare to cause any more trouble, I will cast you into the Eighteen Layers of Hell, where you shall never be reborn."

To know that the document just now was directly presented before the City God, it seems that the person who issued the document must hold a significant position, yet all that is before me are merely ordinary people

At this moment, Wang Dashanren was still not resting, waiting for the steward in the main hall

Only after Yang Heng left did the butler let out a long sigh of relief

While others may not understand the situation, the two shadows before the black hole perceive everything with clarity

The two figures once again bowed in the direction of Yang Heng before disappearing into the black hole

At this moment, from a distance, Butler Liu shouted at Yang Heng, "That Taoist, are you capable or not? If you are not, we will invite someone else."

What are you saying? I am a certified true Taoist by the government, with a degree of ordination. If you intend to cheat me out of money, we can take a trip to the government office.

Could it be that there are flaws in one's own ritual that allowed this steward to see through it

The servant was about to stand up unsteadily, and upon hearing these words, he became somewhat angry

In fact, he also felt somewhat uncomfortable, as this time Aunt Qiaoyun's death was truly tragic

Therefore, this time, Butler Liu also wore a smiling face
