New Times, New Hell

In the past, people had the custom of spreading ashes to test their traces when returning to evil spirits. Huisha refers to the return day of the deceased. Some people will sieve fine ashes in front of the stove at home on the day of return to evil spirits after someone in their family dies. , used to observe the whereabouts of the dead returning to the soul.

Legend has it that the footprints on the ashes can determine what the deceased will be reborn in the next life. If you see the traces of a chicken, you will be reborn as a chicken, and if you see the traces of a dog, you will be reborn as a dog. That means that the deceased had committed a lot of crimes during his lifetime and had come back in shackles.

Of course, Taoist Mu knew all these sayings, and sometimes some sophisticated people asked him to do rituals to send evil spirits away, but he had never really seen the imprint of the soul.

I really didn't expect that the first time I saw it would be in this situation, and I didn't expect that what I saw would be traces of handcuffs... I have to say, it is really advancing with the times.

Daoist Mu's eyes were full of confusion of "who am I and where am I", and he couldn't speak for a while.

His apprentice was also dumb.

Everyone followed the footprints and saw that the handcuffs were floating in the air, corresponding to the traces on the ashes.

Father Chen was trembling, and it took him a while to muster up the courage to ask, "Did the ghost catch it?"

"Catch it." Yu Zhengdu looked at the three members of the Chen family who were hugging each other, and comforted him, "You guys relax, it's okay."

How can I relax, the handcuffs are still floating in the air.

Probably because the picture of the family huddled together was really unattractive. Although Father Chen was scared, he still stood up and poked his head at a distance from the handcuffs. He looked like he wanted to get close but was afraid of being hurt, and asked, "What's the matter?" Did you catch it?"

When he asked, Taoist Mu and his disciples also looked over, with a strong thirst for knowledge in their eyes.

He didn't know, Yu Zhengdu gave the boss a look for help.

Shang Que said: "There are many types of magic tools for arresting ghosts, and chains are one of them. Old Taoists should know about them."

The theory of spreading ashes to test traces mentions that some dead people will wear shackles when they return to their souls, which are naturally props for ghosts, but in Yangjian, there are also some cultivators who use chains as magical weapons, which can also be used for prisons after refining. ghost.

Taoist Mu then nodded.

Shang Que's eyes showed disgust: "Then how come you can't recognize her after changing her appearance?"

Taoist Mu: "...??"

Is it as simple as changing the appearance of your magic weapon?Your entire process of catching ghosts is unscientific... Ah no, it's all too scientific, okay! ! !Is this the proper posture for engaging in superstitious activities? !

Daoist Mu wanted to defend himself, but Father Chen had already revealed a look of sudden realization: "It turns out that's the case, then I understand, this is also your new technology, and handcuffs are indeed much more convenient than chains."

He gave a thumbs up and praised: "Indeed, the times are developing, and the technology of exorcising evil spirits and catching ghosts should also develop accordingly. Good job young people."

Daoist Mu choked immediately.

Little Taoist: "..." He is also a young man!

Father Chen asked again: "Then what are you going to do with this ghost?"

How to deal with it... The company usually beats up the ghosts who break the law and locks them up, but this can't be said directly.

Seeing his hesitation, Taoist Mu helped to answer: "Naturally, he must be saved."

This is a routine operation. Although Father Chen has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs running, and nodded accordingly: "Oh, yes, we must exceed the limit."

Then pretend that you want to take it back to save me, Yu Zhengdu was about to agree with it, when the shackled ghost suddenly sobbed: "Don't, don't save me, I still have things on my mind..."

Except for Yu Zhengdu and Shang Que, no one at the scene could hear the cries of the ghosts. They just felt that the room suddenly became colder by a few degrees. The Chen family siblings were still hugging each other. Chen Sijie said "wow": "Why is it so cold?" , did that ghost run away again?"

"I didn't run, but I was a little emotional." Yu Zhengdu explained, and then imitated his colleague's way of interrogating ghosts, and cursed, "Now you know that you regret it? Why don't you think about it when you do evil?"

The three members of the Chen family were terrified at first, but when they saw Yu Zhengdu scolding the air, they immediately said, "..."

Yu Zhengdu waved his fist: "A ghost like you who has made mistakes has no room to bargain. It would be polite not to beat you up!"

Everyone:"……"

Everyone was still in a daze, when Yu Zhengdu suddenly turned his head and looked at Dad Chen with strange eyes: "Mr. Chen, this ghost said he wanted to talk to you."

Father Chen's neck tightened: "What are you talking about? What does this ghost want to do to me?"

Yu Zhengdu: "He said he was your friend."

Father Chen quickly waved his hands: "Nonsense, where did I get a ghost friend?"

Yu Zhengdu crossed his arms and said, "He said his name is Hao Wentao."

Father Chen was taken aback: "What?"

Chen Siyu and Chen Sijie looked at each other after hearing the words, and finally let go of each other. The panic on their faces was replaced by doubts. Chen Siyu was a little incredulous: "Uncle Wen Tao?"

Father Chen did have a friend named Hao Wentao, a partner in a private law firm. He had strong professional skills and was extremely busy with his work.

Because this matter has been going on for a while, Father Chen really didn't realize it for a while, and then asked hesitantly, "Is it really Wen Tao?"

Yu Zhengdu "uh" for a moment: "I don't know, I don't know him either..."

Father Chen thought for a while, and said solemnly: "It can't be Wen Tao, Wen Tao has such a good relationship with me, he won't harm me, this ghost is a liar!"

Yu Zhengdu looked like a ghost, and the ghost was anxious, making gestures repeatedly: "I'm really Hao Wentao, I'm not lying."

Father Chen watched the handcuffs going up and down in the air, making repeated noises, and felt a little trembling in his heart.

Yu Zhengdu thought for a while, took out his mobile phone and said, "Try and see if it works."

This phone was issued by the company, and it has Luo Feng's "patented technology" built in. Maybe it can really image.

He turned on the camera and pointed it in the direction of the male ghost, then smiled and said, "It's really possible, Mr. Chen, take a look, is it him?"

Father Chen was a little confused, and carefully leaned over to look at Yu Zhengdu's phone screen, then stared at him: "...Wentao, it's really you!"

When the Chen family siblings and the two priests heard the news, they rushed to check their cell phones.

Then everyone collectively: "........."

On Yu Zhengdu's mobile phone, there was a vague figure of a man, a capable man, wearing a suit and handcuffs.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the place where the camera was pointing at. It was obviously empty, except for a floating handcuff.

In addition to being shocked, everyone behaved differently. The Chen family siblings were puzzled: "Is it really Uncle Wen Tao?"

The reaction of the two priests was a look of doubt about life, especially the young Taoist priest, who had been silent for a long time because he was too stimulated, and now he had a broken expression on his face. Still laughing: "Master, they really used their mobile phones to take pictures of ghosts..."

During the fight in the afternoon, he used this to mock Zhengdu. He never thought that the other party actually had this skill...

After confirming that the ghost was indeed Hao Wentao, Father Chen became emotional all of a sudden, pointing in the direction of the camera and yelling: "Hao Wentao, are you still human? I treat you like a brother, and you actually hurt me!"

Yu Zhengdu reminded him: "He is no longer human!"

Father Chen: "..."

On the phone screen, Hao Wentao covered his face, feeling ashamed and ashamed: "I didn't mean to hurt you, I really had to."

Father Chen waved his hand: "Tell me, why are you forced?"

Hao Wentao whimpered: "It was Liu Ning'an from Yaochu Holdings, who invited a demon to try to arrest me and force me to do some shady things for him."

"Liu Ning'an?" Father Chen was taken aback when he heard the words. His business was competing with Liu Ning'an some time ago, but for some reason, Liu Ning'an seemed to know his cards and strategies, and he was always just ahead of him. This game caused him to lose a lot of orders and a lot of money.

Now it seems that it is because of Hao Wentao.

Hao Wentao said: "In the beginning, Liu Ning'an wanted to kill you directly so that he could take over your company. I was the one who suggested to him that I would follow you, spy on your business secrets and disclose them to him, so that he can take over your business slowly. Customers and orders are just fine, because killing one’s life would harm one’s morality, so he accepted my proposal, otherwise you will be dead now.”

Father Chen didn't expect that there was such a layer in the middle, so he was stunned for a while, not knowing what to say.

Yu Zhengdu asked very inquisitively: "Then do you usually stand on the left side of Mr. Chen and watch him work?"

Hao Wentao was stunned: "How do you know?"

Yu Zhengdu smiled slightly: "Our Yin Qi detector detected that Mr. Chen's left body has more Yin Qi."

Everyone: "..." Really good scientific analysis!

Knowing that Hao Wentao was involuntary, and that he had saved Dad Chen's life in disguise, Dad Chen couldn't be angry anymore, but he was a little bit embarrassed.

Father Chen asked Yu Zhengdu to uncuff Hao Wentao, and they sat down with a ghost and talked slowly.

Father Chen asked Hao Wentao: "Haven't you been dead for half a year? How did you get arrested by that Liu Ning'an?"

As soon as this was mentioned, Hao Wentao suddenly felt sad, beat his chest and said, "It's all my own fault..."

Father Chen watched him beat his chest through the mobile phone, tried to stop him but couldn't, and quickly said, "Why do you blame yourself?"

Hao Wentao looked up to the sky and sighed, "You know, I studied science when I was alive..."

"I know." Father Chen was at a loss, "But what does this have to do with your arrest?"

Hao Wentao: "I was a staunch atheist when I was alive. Not only did I not believe in ghosts and gods, but I also kept telling my family members to believe in science and stay away from superstition. Under my influence, my wife and daughter have become staunch materialists... ..."

He wiped his face, and said with a sad tone: "So after I passed away, they never sacrificed to me once. After I became a ghost, I didn't have a bite of food. I was hungry for several months. Finally, I couldn't take it anymore and picked up someone else. The food that was placed on the street to sacrifice to lonely souls, I didn't expect that those food were set up by the demon way to arrest wandering souls..."

Everyone:"……"

It's a really sad story.

The author has something to say: Little Taoist: beat your chest!

The ghost king didn't make money in the past because he didn't need it. It's impossible for a majestic ghost king to be polite. If you really anger him, just swallow it!
