Chapter Eighty-Seven Heart Child

  Yu Min personally presented a cup of tea and stood beside the old man with his head bowed.

  Lao Dao took a sip, put down his teacup, furrowed his brow and said, "How did you end up buying a house here? You're really foolish."

  "Dao Chang, what's going on here? And I've been feeling like someone is following me lately," Yu Xia asked tentatively.

  "Alas, this is a place of great calamity, where ancient battles once took place. The accumulation of resentment over thousands of years has given rise to malevolent spirits seeking to break free. However, a high-ranking immortal happened to pass by and, for unknown reasons, chose not to destroy them but instead sealed them with his own magical artifact. Unfortunately, nothing remains unchanged, and the corrosive effects of yin energy over the centuries have caused this artifact to nearly become a demonic tool. Tonight, at the hour of zi, is when the ghostly energy will be at its peak. If my guess is correct, they will make their move tonight."

  Yu Min was so scared when he heard it, what a ominous place, and he was indeed lucky!

  Lao Dao looked at Yu Min seriously and said, "Since you are the master of this place, they have already entangled you. Tonight at midnight, your soul will be taken away and you will die."

  Yu Min thought for a moment and then immediately knelt down and said: "Dao Zhang, you must save me."

  "I didn't plan on staying out of this from the moment I stepped through that door. Now, I need you to help me prepare some things quickly. It must be done before midnight. The old man said solemnly."

  "What do you want?" Yu Min immediately stood up, took out a pen and paper from his pocket, and asked.

  "Some black dog blood, and also buy some cinnabar and divine sand at the pharmacy... ...and then get me a few nets, I have a big use for them. The old way thought for a moment."

  Yu Min took a look and hastily said, "Daozhang, you wait here first, I'll be right back."

  The old man nodded.

  Yu Min arrived at the outer hall and shouted loudly: "You few little Wus come over here."

  Four or five colleagues rushed over immediately, Yu Xia took out a large bundle of 100-yuan bills from her bag and placed it on the table, her eyes gleaming as she said: "I want you to do something for me, look at this! According to the requirements above, I want you to go buy quickly, I require you to get these things done within an hour. Whoever comes back the fastest, I'll give them a raise!"

  Several people took a glance and immediately nodded: "Don't worry, boss! These things are not hard to buy. It's just that if we go, we'll have to take a taxi."

  "Don't even mention the fight, I'll reimburse you for the plane ticket," said Yu Xia. "Remember, be sure to buy the real thing. Whoever dares to cheat me, beware that I'll peel their skin off."

  Two people's faces changed, their thoughts were simple, dogs weren't rare, but black dogs were a bit rarer, anyway they were all dog blood, what was the difference, could they still tell? Unexpectedly, Yu Min saw through their little trick at the first time. Thinking about it, forget it! What if she really had a dog's nose and found out that her own work might be over.

  "Hey boss, how much is some of that black dog blood mentioned earlier?" Little Wu asked.

  Yu Min was taken aback for a moment, then said: "Of course the more the better, it's best to come in barrels. Each of you give me 10,000 yuan now and go buy some for me, don't be stingy!"

  Several people nodded in agreement, but secretly rejoiced in their hearts. The boss's wife was unknowingly enchanted and actually believed that there were ghosts in this world? It's laughable to the extreme. Originally, they wanted to advise her a bit, but now it seems like there's no need. They can just take advantage of the situation and skim off some profits for themselves. Who would know anyway?

  Five young people repeatedly guaranteed that they would complete the task, and they left with a smile. Yu Min naturally knew that these children would take advantage of their own convenience, but compared to their lives, what did this matter? Moreover, tonight they wouldn't be able to get away unscathed, as that Daoist seemed to have assigned them some tasks. Well, consider this an advance payment for spiritual compensation.

  A place of great calamity, that one who has been hacked at a thousand times. How can he still deceive himself like this?

  With a resentful heart, Yu Min fell into an anxious wait.

  Sure, here is the translation:

  As expected, within an hour, all five of them came rushing over.

  Looking at the five buckets of black dog blood, Yu Min felt that it was a bit too much. It was already not the time to consider these things, so Yu Min immediately went into the house to invite Lao Dao.

  The old man took a look and nodded, saying: "You guys send these things in."

  "Where is it being sent?" someone asked.

  "Follow me, Lao Dao brought a sundial, according to the direction of the test, and then leave first."

  Yu Min immediately said, "Hurry up and catch up."

  Several people exchanged amused glances, picked up their things again and followed the old man.

  The old man measured the side and finally came to a small courtyard, saying: "Put things here and then leave."

  Several people felt a chill as soon as they entered here and hastily put down their things and quickly left after hearing this.

  Yu Min hastily said: "Dao Zhang, don't you need their help with the arrangements?"

  The old man smiled and said, "No need, huh? There's actually someone living here. Isn't that courting death? Hurry up and let him leave."

  Yu Xia smiled and naturally wouldn't say that she wanted to rely on someone else's yang energy to suppress the ghost energy. She ran a short distance and arrived at Guo Ming's house, lightly knocking on the door.

  Guo Ming is now just an ordinary person. Since he wants to be a common man, his divine consciousness and divine powers naturally have to be put away. It's so late, who is knocking on the door? He lightly opened the door and saw it was the landlady, and said displeased: "What's the matter?"

  Yu Min's face turned slightly red, and he said awkwardly: "To be honest, there really is a ghost here. Now, a Taoist priest has come from outside to perform an exorcism ritual. You'd better leave immediately! I'll arrange a room for you, and all your expenses will be free, how about that?"

  Guo Ming looked into the distance and indeed saw an old man and a young boy, both Daoists, busily setting up a spell formation. He then withdrew his gaze and said, "Since I've settled in, I have no intention of leaving. You can go now, don't disturb my sleep."

  "You, there really are ghosts here, aren't you afraid?" Yu Min exclaimed. "This kid is so naive, others would have left immediately after hearing this, but he's still lingering around with me."

  "I have a just and upright spirit in my heart, what is a ghost? Do you think I would be afraid? If it doesn't come, then so be it. But if it does, you watch, I'll definitely take care of it." Guo Ming chuckled and said, "Don't worry, boss's wife, if anything happens, I'll take responsibility."

  Are you awake? My little ancestor, Yu Min has a heart that wants to cry. What is a ghost, can it be provoked by an ordinary person like myself?

  "My brother, don't break your sister's heart, okay? As long as you leave, I'll give you 1,000 yuan. How about that?" Yu Min said helplessly.

  "Haha, since you've called me brother, I won't leave today. Don't worry, with me here, the entire area within a thousand miles will be illuminated by my sacred light, and all evil spirits will flee. No one will dare to come here." Guo Ming said with a wave of his hand and in a loud voice.

  "Really? Are you that amazing? A sweet voice came over, and it was Xīn'er who had curiously come here and happened to overhear this conversation."

  Guo Ming's eyes lit up, the little girl had long hair draped over her shoulders, a pair of lively big eyes full of cunning, and wearing a Taoist robe on her body, making people feel a kind of ancient beauty. Wen Yan smiled and said: "That's right, didn't you feel the king's aura on me?"

  Her bright and lively eyes rolled around, and she chuckled: "No, I just smelled a strong stench of sweat."

  Guo Ming smiled wryly, "A joke? How could I possibly have stinky sweat on me?" He pinched her little nose and chuckled, "Little sister, when you tell lies, your nose will grow longer."

  Her heart was rather annoyed, she glared at the other person, her hands on her hips, and said: "You actually dare to pinch my nose, do you know who I am?"

  "I don't know," Guo Ming said with a loud laugh.

  "This young lady is a future fairy, how dare you do this, humph, humph, her heart hummed twice in a row, as if she had suffered the greatest insult."

  Guo Ming also ignored her and looked far away, seeing that Lao Dao had set up a ritual platform and was placing some offerings on it.

  "Why are you ignoring me?" Xīn'er said angrily. She couldn't bear being directly ignored, and for some reason, she always wanted to get close to Guō Míng. It was as if there was a kind of aura on Guō Míng that attracted her. Although it was faint, it was very obvious. Otherwise, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to talk to a strange man.

  "You can catch the King of Ghosts with these? Guo Ming said somewhat disbelievingly."

  "Ghost king? Haha, you're really good at joking. How could there be a ghost king in this place? Xīn'er saw Guo Ming and herself talking, the anger in her heart disappeared instantly, haha laughed and said, I'll tell you, that kind of thing will come here? This is a big city, after all, a ghost king of that level won't come."

  "There's nothing impossible, little sister," Guo Ming pinched her nose again and added some slyness to his eyes, saying in a low voice, "How about we make a bet?"

  Angrily slapping his hand away, Xīn'er took a few steps back, her small face flushing red as she said, "Don't pinch my nose!" She gently rubbed it before glaring at Guō Míng and saying, "You go first."

  "Let's see if the Ghost King appears tonight or not?" Guo Ming's face was beaming with a bright smile.

  "Don't smile like that, it makes me feel uneasy, my heart skipped a beat, I said hastily."

  "What's wrong? Did you feel a sense of innocence on my face?" Guo Ming said with a heh-heh smile.

  "No, it's very dirty," said Xin Er, nodding her head seriously and speaking in a low voice.

  Guo Ming's smile on his face stagnated, and he smiled helplessly. Xiner's expression was the opposite, seeing Guo Ming being disadvantaged, Xiner seemed to be very happy, and hastily asked, "Since it's a bet, then there must be betting rules, you say what the rules are first?"

  "A wager is that if you lose, I can grant any one of your requests; and if I lose, it's the same. How about it?" Guo Ming thought for a moment, then smiled slyly.

  Xin'er took several steps back, tightened her robe and angrily said: "You're too bad." After finishing speaking, she turned around and ran away.

  Guo Ming was stunned, what's going on here? How did he become the bad guy?

  Yu Min was also stunned, but is this the time to think about these things? "Hey, I really didn't cheat you, go away! Otherwise, something will definitely happen to you tonight."

  "Haha, I'm not leaving anyway, let's see what he can do to me? Guo Ming waved his hand and said indifferently, "Money is not a problem, I don't lack money. Now I only have one idea, which is to die. Let's see how he can deal with me?"

  Yu Min looked at his expression that didn't put anything in his eyes and had an impulse to get rid of him, thinking "If you want to die, don't let me worry about it!"

  "Come on, little brother, please go. Honestly, if something happens to you in my store, what can I do? I won't be able to afford it." Yu Min said straightforwardly.

  "It's okay, you wait here, I'll be right back," Guo Ming said with a sudden burst of inspiration, seeing the other person's embarrassed expression.

  Yu Min's face lit up with joy, alas, it wasn't easy, finally got this little ancestor to leave.

  Guo Ming didn't keep her waiting for long, and soon handed her a piece of paper. As soon as Yu Min saw the two big words on it, she was speechless - what kind of world is this!
