Chapter 5, finally having a home

At this moment, the master, silent, only spoke after realizing that the nearby malevolent spirits had been torn apart and dissipated: "This is truly troublesome. Jiao Mu mentioned that it must be returned in its original state. What am I to do if you have torn it apart?"

Tongtian Society, Jiang Tianxin

Old Li passed away during the time we spent in the underworld

Thus, I was filled with longing for the Tongtian Society he spoke of. However, many years later, when I finally walked through the gates of the Tongtian Society headquarters, what I saw was not glory and pride, but coldness and darkness

He told me: "I came from the Tongtian Society, and that is enough..."

I ended up being bald for three months! Surprisingly, a colleague saw me and asked the master, "What is a yin-yang agent like you doing with a little monk?"

The old woman, a vengeful spirit, laughed loudly, her already shrill voice echoing in the inner hall

A mere summoner...

As a result, the old man approached with a smile and said, "I see that you have been performing well lately, so I have decided to teach you some skills"

My master and I stood in the back row; it was my first time witnessing a funeral with so many people, and I kept looking around in every direction.

Komori, you must remember that if you decide to exorcise spirits, you must be absolutely ruthless, regardless of who the other party is or how pitiable they may be; a spirit is a spirit

Uncle, what do you want to do

It is simply a hell on earth

Only the master furrowed his brow slightly, muttering to himself: "How could he die? I clearly did not see any recent arrangements from Jiao Mu for the ghostly emissaries to take Old Li's life."

I hid behind my master, and at that moment, the portrait of the old woman's vengeful spirit unexpectedly spoke: "Has my husband's ghost been brought here? https://www.hetushu.com.com"

My master and I also attended Old Li's funeral. After all, he was a top-tier tycoon, and many people attended the funeral from all aspects, with a crowd of no less than one thousand.

I am so angry that my teeth are itching

Do you think I am truly afraid of you? That night was merely an act of feigning fear of your talisman. You want to take me? Do you think you are a Taoist priest from Maoshan?

Not only did he emit a dark aura from his entire body, but he also shouted hoarsely with all his might

The master spoke while taking a small step forward, the coat on his body slightly billowing, as he reached out to touch the small pouch at his waist where the talismans were kept

The master shook his head and said, "Forget it, this malevolent spirit has been torn apart, so let's catch a fierce ghost to report back."

It can not only capture ghosts and gather souls, but also release flames to attack malevolent spirits

The moment the bodyguard closed the main door to the inner hall, the room was completely engulfed in darkness

I still remember that my master took me to a small warehouse next to the sales department, a small warehouse that contained a white single bed, a simple wooden nightstand, and a small white table lamp

The witch left the stall in disarray, fleeing from the ghost market in a frantic manner, drawing the attention of the surrounding spirits and ghostly enforcers.

The master has opened a small storefront in Shanghai

I originally thought it would be a fierce battle, but as it turned out, after Master unleashed ten soul-restraining talismans, the old woman's vengeful spirit was struck directly by the talismans and fell from the sky, crashing to the ground

The words that the master said to me at that time, I have remembered for a lifetime

Go away

At that time, I did not believe it, but the foul old man immediately twisted open the lid of the gourd and sprayed it at my hair, the blazing flames completely burned away all my hair

Old Li's father, that spirit who passed away many years ago, is indeed within the jurisdiction of the South China region. Jiao Mu conveniently did a favor for my master and sent someone to bring this spirit over.

Because she saw ten golden yellow talismans floating beside the master

At this moment, I caught a glimpse of the master's face from the side; it was a pair of eyes colder than ice

Generally speaking, if death is not caused by a ghostly messenger demanding a soul, there is only one possibility: it is a death caused by harm...

You can leave now; you are no longer needed here

You worthless dog, you like that shameless woman, you like that little vixen! It was I who poisoned you while you were alive, and now I have killed the child you had with that vixen. I will also tear apart your soul after your death, making you both forever regret the pain you brought me

The witch showed no respect to her master and spoke disrespectfully

A typical ghost-sealing gourd can contain thousands of malevolent spirits, but this one is different; it is entirely fire-red, resembling a beautiful flame that is burning.

This is what I heard from my master. Although my mind was very foggy at that time, I knew that my master was truly angry

Later, I asked the master why that witch was so afraid of him

Moreover, the master is very selective about accepting business; he does not take on jobs that do not offer financial gain, those that are not complex, or those that require too much time.

The old woman, a fierce ghost, spoke as she completely tore apart the lingering soul of Old Li's father

The master said: "This is your room"

I still remember the year I first walked into this store. I looked up and saw a crooked wooden sign with a slanted illustration, inscribed with "Jiang Family Agent - Summoning Souls and Spirits." All the characters were crammed together, and the font was as ugly as it could be, resembling something chewed up by a dog

The master nodded, opened the gourd lid, and released the ghost of Old Li's father

The bodyguard outside rushed in, but found nothing of the fierce ghost, his eyes wide open yet seeing nothing.

My disciple, do you dare to act? Have you grown tired of living?

At that moment, I wept like rain. After ten years, I finally had my own room, my own home

As soon as my master and I returned to Hong Kong, we encountered the funeral of Old Li. Originally, my master and I had only planned to stay for a little over a day, but unexpectedly, Old Li passed away so soon, and the funeral was arranged particularly quickly

Political figures, celebrities, socialites, and various friends who show up to flaunt their connections...

It is still that inner hall, still that pitch-black room, still that black-and-white photograph

Of course, this is a postscript. We returned to the human world with the spirit of Old Li's father, but significant changes occurred.

The employer has died, and now the problem has become significant

However, Old Li's father's ghost stood there, completely unfeeling and dull.

After the master sealed the ghostly spirit into the ghost-restraining gourd, he led me through the ghost market, heading towards the human realm

Simple, clean, and very unadorned

Unexpectedly, the old woman's vengeful spirit rushed out from the portrait as soon as it saw the ghost of Old Li's father, lunging forward. I saw her grinning maliciously, her face contorted, as she extended her claws to tear at the ghost of Old Li's father

The uncle spoke as he pointed his hand, and suddenly the dark interior was filled with light

Although I am the lowest-ranking Yin-Yang agent in this circle, I have my principles. I am responsible for retrieving souls and ensuring their safe return. Now that you have torn apart the soul I brought, you must compensate me. Therefore, you must return with me

The master shouted sternly, in that manner, absolutely majestic, more domineering and handsome than any movie star I have ever seen!

The situation has progressed to this point, making it quite simple; it is nothing more than a clichéd story involving the original partner, the mistress, and the heart-wrenching drama of the wealthy, only elevated to the level of ghosts.

I then asked the master: "Uncle, why don't you tidy up this perfectly good house?"

Thus, even if there are occasional business inquiries, such as simply summoning a spirit or entrusting a dream, the master pays no attention at all

Upon entering the small storefront, it was truly a scene of filth, disorder, and poor quality

That was the first time I witnessed a scene akin to a movie special effect, where ten talismans floated in front of me, surrounding my master, without any strings or hands involved.

As soon as I heard that I would learn a skill, I was naturally very happy, nodding my head like a chick pecking at rice

After the ghostly emissary took away the old woman’s vengeful spirit that night, my master and I set off back to the mainland early the next morning

However, its laughter did not last long before it fell silent.

However, you are too timid; you need to practice a bit.

From now on, the entire house will be tidied up by me, I will cook the meals, I will wash the clothes, just like a little maid

At that time, I was helping that foul old man wash his underwear! It was so dirty that just looking at it made me want to vomit

Upon hearing these words, I was immediately struck by a sense of impending disaster

The master introduces himself

Come with me tonight, and you will understand when you arrive

Dirty clothes are everywhere, the sofa has a large hole, beverage bottles, snacks are scattered all over the floor, and there are books.

The result was that this foul old man replied to me: "Isn't this for you to clean up?"

The old hag's vengeful spirit was floating in the air at this moment, gazing at my master with a continuous sinister grin

At first, I thought the master would begin investigating the cause of Old Li's death; however, the master did not. The day after the funeral, he prepared to pack his bags and take me away from Hong Kong

This brings us to discuss this ghost gourd, which is said to be a symbol of the Tongtian Society. Inside, it is engraved with intricate Daoist formations, while the exterior is made from carefully selected high-quality spiritual gourds, making it quite remarkable

One day, in a state of utter boredom, he found me

Upon hearing my master's name, the witch involuntarily jumped in surprise, and as she let go of my hand, I suddenly trembled all over, as if a cold wind had blown through my mind, and I became fully alert

The master's business is quite slow; sometimes, there are no visitors for half a month.

The master had a pleasant conversation with Jiao Mu. After presenting a few small gifts that could be purchased in the mortal realm, such as keychains or commemorative coins, the master successfully obtained the desired information.

He told me that investigating the cause of death is the work of the Taoist priests and the police; we are merely agents of yin and yang. When the employer dies, the contract ends, and that is all there is to it

Laozi is Jiang Tianxin

As soon as we entered the waiting room, we were stopped by the bodyguard of Old Li's family, who took us all the way back to Old Li's estate

The master said that this gourd was given to him by his master, who is also my ancestral master, and it is called the Flowing Fire Gourd. There is only one of its kind in the circle, making it quite rare

The master does not smoke, but he has a habit of holding a cigarette in his mouth whenever he engages in a confrontation with others or with fierce spirits. He holds it without lighting it.

I watched him warily
