Chapter 1131: Ghost Subst.i.tute, Great Ghost
?
“What happened after that?” Chi Shuyan narrowed her eyes and asked.
Xiao Ning said haltingly, “After that, w.a.n.g Yu suddenly died. His body was in Swan Lake and was fished out by the police. The first person the police notified was s.h.i.+ Ran, and he was the only one who saw w.a.n.g Yu’s body.”
He felt that s.h.i.+ Ran seemed to know something. It was as if he had been dealt a huge blow ever since he found out that w.a.n.g Yu was dead. At that time, they had also been dealt a huge blow and didn’t understand why w.a.n.g Yu had suddenly died. As for the police saying that it was possible w.a.n.g Yu had killed himself, they didn’t believe a word of it. However, no matter how they racked their brains, they couldn’t figure out how w.a.n.g Yu died, and why his body was in Swan Lake.
Later, Shen Zhihua suddenly died, which was also ruled a suicide by the police. He died in the bathroom, and there was blood all over the floor. The boys had a vague idea at that time, but didn’t dare dwell on it, and panicked more and more.
Not long after, some of them voiced the suspicion that they might be haunted. To be honest, they did believe it at that time, so when Ah Duo said he would take them to a Celestial Master, they were very excited. Unfortunately, back then, they only looked at a person’s appearance and age and didn’t believe that Master Chi was really a Celestial Master, which led to one tragedy after another.
For the past two days, Xiao Ningjin had been thinking that if they had believed in Master Chi at that time, Fang Yinglong and Jin Ming wouldn’t have died, and s.h.i.+ Ran wouldn’t be on the verge of death.
Chi Shuyan didn’t know what Xiao Ningjin was thinking at that moment. He had given her a lot of useful information tonight, and she was now more and more certain that this wasn’t an ordinary thing. However, she wasn’t sure if it was a great ghost or not.
Water ghosts were generally divided into three types: ordinary water ghosts, water ghosts with some cultivation, and great ghosts!
Ordinary water ghosts and those with some cultivation weren’t worthy of Chi Shuyan’s attention. Water ghosts who could become great ghosts were usually very savage ghosts comparable with great malicious spirits or even worse. They came into existence after dying with all sorts of grievances in water and were bound there; they had a lot of resentment.
Only by finding a ghost subst.i.tute could they free themselves of that place, and it didn’t end well for those who became entangled with them. The most important thing was that the other party could cultivate by constantly killing people and finding a ghost subst.i.tute. This was the most terrifying thing, as their cultivation speed was very fast!
Although ordinary and somewhat capable water ghosts also harmed people by looking for ghost subst.i.tutes, they were still very afraid of the heavens and didn’t dare openly take too many lives. On the other hand, great ghosts didn’t scruple to ignore the heavens, and relied on killing and harming people non-stop to cultivate; their cultivation speed could be said to be miles and miles ahead compared with other water ghosts.
Chi Shuyan had been optimistic before, but after listening to Xiao Ningjin’s account, she couldn’t help but think again. After all, so many people had died in such a short period of time. Thinking this, Chi Shuyan’s eyes turned a bit solemn – of course, this was the worst case scenario.
It was still possible that the boys hadn’t provoked a great ghost, but a water ghost with just some cultivation. It wasn’t impossible for somewhat capable water ghosts to look for subst.i.tutes.
She just hoped that the boys’ luck was good. If they had really provoked a great ghost, the matter would be much more complicated, and other people in the capital might also be implicated.
Xiao Ningjin and Xiong Luoying were a little nervous when they looked at Chi Shuyan’s expression. Xiao Ningjin had keen intuition, and he swallowed his saliva and couldn’t help but say, “Master Chi! Do you have something to say to us?”
Chi Shuyan saw that the boys’ hands were shaking non-stop, so it wasn’t good to tell them the truth now. She was afraid that these two boys in front of her would start crying.
Chi Shuyan said, “If you want jade pendants, each of you prepare 30 million for tomorrow! If you’re willing…”
Xiao Ningjin and Xiong Luoying stared in disbelief. Master Chi was such a good person. She was actually willing to sell them jade pendants?
Did they hear wrongly? After confirming that they hadn’t, the two were afraid that Chi Shuyan would go back on her word, and hurriedly nodded before she could finish speaking. “We are! We are! We are, Master Chi!”
Chi Shuyan nodded. “You should also ask Jiang Duo and Chang Hao if they each want one! Also, if you don’t want to implicate your families, it’s best not to go home!”
“They’ll definitely want it! Master Chi, they’ll definitely want it!” Previously, they had coveted the jade pendant around Jiang Duo’s neck. Anyone who didn’t want one was an idiot. The two of them hurriedly nodded on Jiang Duo and Chang Hao’s behalf, afraid that Master Chi would change her mind.
Moreover, even if the two didn’t want theirs, they could sell them to Xiao Ningjin and Xiong Luoying. They didn’t mind having more jade pendants, and Master Chi was only selling them for 30 million. It was too cheap!
“I’ll give you the jade pendants tomorrow!” Chi Shuyan thought for a moment.
Xiao Ningjin and Xiong Luoying nodded excitedly. “Okay, no problem, Master Chi. Shall we go and get them tomorrow?”
“No need. I’ll contact you when the time comes and send them to you!” Chi Shuyan said.
Chi Shuyan thought of Wei Panyang. In the end, she couldn’t really watch a human life be snuffed out like this. She deliberated for a moment before she said, “Ask Wei Panyang if he wants a jade pendant! Then ask Father and Mother Wei!”
Since Father and Mother Wei were involved, Chi Shuyan couldn’t guarantee that the thing wouldn’t attack them.
As for the others like Captain Chen, Xiao Shan and so on, she wanted to give them jade pendants. As long as Brother Feng took this case, no one would be safe.
However, this jade pendant was expensive. It was top quality jade that could be made into a magic weapon. It could store spiritual energy and had some of its own. Chi Shuyan really couldn’t afford to give it away for free. Chi Shuyan made up her mind to borrow Qi Zhenbai’s purple aura to refine Exploding Talismans and Pure Yang Talismans when she went back.
Explosive Talismans and Pure Yang Talismans were very lethal against ghosts. Giving them away didn’t cost much, and she wouldn’t feel the pinch.
She just hoped that even if that thing wasn’t an ordinary water ghost, it wasn’t a great ghost that could kill people wantonly.
When Xiao Ningjin and Xiong Luoying’s eyes widened at Master Chi’s sudden generosity. Not only did Master Chi think of Wei Panyang, she was even going to sell the jade pendant to his parents. The two of them itched to use their own relatives to make up numbers, and their faces were filled with envy and hatred!
Chi Shuyan saw the intent in their eyes and said, “I don’t know what that water ghost is like yet. I advise you not to implicate your families. Think about it: Is the jade pendant or a human life more important?”
Xiao Ningjin and Xiong Luoying hurriedly cut off their train of thought and nodded. “Yes, yes, yes, Master Chi!”
“Alright, there’s nothing else. Go in and see Wei Panyang!”
“Okay, Master Chi!”
After the two left, Chi Shuyan sighed and leaned against the wall without moving. Her phone suddenly rang. Chi Shuyan picked up the call and was about to speak, when she suddenly saw the back of a nurse walking stiffly in the distance. Her face changed. She immediately hung up without saying anything and followed the nurse!
