That impermanence listened to me say this, immediately smiled and said: "The child can be taught, okay, then let's give you two a one-year extension, and after two years, you must catch that yin soul back. By the way, I don't want American girls, I have them at home, get me a Filipino and a Japanese one instead."

  I thought to myself, "You old lecher, you agreed so easily," and then immediately smiled and said, "No problem, no problem. I'll definitely make sure you're satisfied. By the way, after we catch that ghost, how are we going to hand it over to you?"

  That eerie and mysterious person took out a small bottle from his sleeve and handed it to us, saying that after catching the ghost, we can use this bottle to capture it directly, and he will come back to find us two years later.

  Having said that, it turned around and disappeared.

  The ward was quiet again, and under the dim blue light, both Old Yi and I looked gloomy.

  I stared at Lao Yi, and he stared back at me, neither of us saying a word. I thought to myself, what's the big deal? Who would have thought that watching a commotion could almost cost us our lives? How unlucky can we get? Now my life is basically being held hostage by some unknown entity, and I have to catch that female ghost within two years. If I don't find her, Lao Yi and I will be heading to the underworld to collect our tickets soon enough.

  I looked at Lao Yi, feeling guilty in my heart. It's all my fault, I was just idle and had nothing to do, so I hooked him up. Now he's been dragged into this too.

  I decided that if I didn't say something to him now, I really couldn't live with myself, so I said to him: "Yi Ge, I'm really sorry, dragging you into this too."

  Yi Xinxing's face turned bitter melon-like as he trembled and said to me: "Where are the two of us going to get 600 billion?"

  “····················。”

  It seems I overthought it, this natural fool didn't take it to heart, he's worried about how to raise money and find a foreign chick. I smiled wryly at him and said: "No big deal Easy Brother, what she wants is paper money. After I'm discharged from the hospital, we can go to the wholesale market to buy some, as for the foreign chick, we should be able to custom-make one at the mourning dress shop, all together it's just 200 yuan."

  Yi Xinxing listened to me and suddenly understood. He smiled wryly and said, "Look at my brain, it's suddenly gone blank. Alas, where are we going to find that escaped female ghost?"

  He asked exactly what I was most worried about, this vast ocean, finding a female ghost is as difficult as looking for a needle in the sea. If you're unlucky, it's not just two years, even if you look for a lifetime, you might not be able to find one.

  Well, let's take it one step at a time. I'll ask Ninth Uncle in two days. We can't just wait to die, right? So I stood up and said to Yi Xing: "Don't be afraid, I have people in the underworld, when we get to the mountain, there will be a way. Don't think too much, go to sleep early and recover your body, then we'll start looking."

  So the two of us didn't speak again, I lay on the bed thinking to myself, really need to get out of here soon, just now almost got scared pee in my pants. As soon as I think of that white guard's dead donkey face I get so angry I can't even find a place to start, this is simply the oppression of the bourgeoisie against the proletariat! If Chairman Mao were still alive, this kind of scum would have been paraded through the streets long ago!

  The main reason is that I am still too weak, although I have been studying the "Three Pure Books" very hard for several years, but I still find my power to be so insignificant. Alas, if I had Monkey King's two tricks, let alone the unpredictable ghost, even the old King Yanluo would not dare to offend me.

  The past two days have been unbelievable, one thing after another. I'm at my wit's end, both physically and mentally exhausted. It feels like I've been walking into a trap that someone had set for me all along, following their script step by step, sinking deeper and deeper with no way out.

  It seems that I have never encountered anything good in my life, but now is not the time to complain. I must face it bravely. All the confusion will be left for Ninth Uncle to ask. He should help me find a satisfactory answer.

  A faint snoring sound came from Lao Yi's ear, and I smiled wryly to myself, thinking that it seems people with a big heart have an advantage, at least they won't end up like me, digging their own horns into a corner.

  So I didn't think about it anymore, closed my eyes and hoped that what was waiting for me wouldn't be a nightmare.

  My injury recovered quickly, and in about a week I was able to run and jump again, so I was discharged from the hospital. Lao Yi wasn't as lucky as me, with a hundred days of recovery for his injured tendons and bones. Although he only had a small crack in his calf bone, it would take at least two months before he could leave the hospital.

  We exchanged phone numbers, and he gave me the piece of fox skin that Night Fox had given us before she died, telling me to keep it. We agreed that if we encountered any customers who were truly possessed by evil spirits in the store, we would take action together at night.

  The day I was discharged from the hospital, Bao Long and his wife came to pick me up, which touched me deeply. During my hospitalization, they often ran to the hospital every other day to buy me fruit and food. This friend is really worth making friends with.

  Back home, I lay down on my soft bed and finally nothing was wrong again. Luckily in the misfortune. Coincidentally, the day I left the hospital was the 15th. I took out a mirror and a bottle of well water, preparing to have a good chat with Ninth Uncle tonight.

  After dinner, I sat in front of the computer quietly waiting for midnight to arrive.

  The night was quiet, I stared at the computer screen and didn't know what to do, so I opened a movie to watch. It was an old Hong Kong and Taiwan fantasy film. After watching for about ten minutes, I turned it off because I couldn't stand the extremely good and evil plot. The villainous demons were like they were owed money by everyone else, harming people wherever they went, while the heroes were like they had no shame, clashing teeth and hacking fiercely whenever they met a demon.

  This is also too stereotypical, why didn't I encounter such demons? Alas, it was these lousy movies that misled me for over a decade, only to discover the huge difference when facing reality.

  I didn't bother to look anymore, I opened the emulator and started playing KOF. Habitually, I chose Terry, Andy, and Joe. For some reason, I suddenly thought of Dong Shanshan. She should have graduated by now too, is she still in Harbin? I found that nowadays I'm a bit like a girl, always making myself feel uncomfortable, the more I don't want to think about it, the more I think about it.

  I remember reading a passage in a book that said: When you're always reminiscing about the past, your heart has already begun to slowly age.

  It seems I'm really old, no longer having the passion and explosive power of my blue-haired youth. First, I was forced into society, then shocked by monsters while helping others, and now even living in a hospital is being extorted by Bai Wuchang. Can this life still be lived?

  When I thought of Dong Shanshan, I suddenly remembered the tears of that female ghost. Ah, this matter had been forgotten by me all along. I hastily shut down the game and rummaged through my boxes to find that pearl. Holding the pearl in my hand, I only felt a cool sensation in my palm. Under the lamp's reflection, the pearl emitted a faint glow. It somewhat resembled a glass ball, except it didn't have any weight.

  I took out that piece of skin again, it's a five-inch-sized skin, and it's more like jade-like tree bark than animal skin. It's very thick and rough, and after I turned off the lights in the room, it emitted a faint white glow. Thinking about the fox family, they fought to the death just to protect this thing, which led to the subsequent tragedy.

  It seems that this thing is really a treasure. Although I don't know what it's used for, someone has traveled thousands of miles to find them just for a piece of skin, so I think this matter is absolutely not simple. Let's wait and ask Ninth Uncle later, then hide it somewhere.

  Finally, it was three o'clock. I went to the window and opened the mirror, then started pouring water upwards while gently saying: "Wei Fengjiao, Wei Fengjiao, Wei Fengjiao."

  Before long, a swirl of air rotated around the mirror and dispersed, and Ninth Uncle's figure emerged on the surface. He was still the same, always with a somewhat stern expression, his hair neatly combed. His ghostly attire was immaculate, but that tie, no matter how I looked at it, seemed to be an eyesore.

  Although it was only a month ago that I saw the old man, the events of the past few days have been too dramatic. At this meeting, my heart is inevitably filled with emotion. I feel as if I've seen a family member who can listen to my troubles, and suddenly my eyes are welling up with tears, and I'm on the verge of crying.

  My ninth uncle saw that I seemed to have something on my mind and asked me: "Xiao Fei, seeing your unusual expression, has something happened?"

  I couldn't help but smile wryly in my heart. This old man's eyesight is still so good, so I didn't bother to be polite with him either. After all, there were too many things to attend to, and I had to seize the time.

  So I told him about the night fox that day, from saving Huang Si Nian's little fatty to hooking the fox, and then chasing it to the suburbs where we met Yi Xin Xing. The shock brought by the night fox family was simply and clearly told to him.

  I asked Ninth Uncle: "Ninth Uncle, are you saying I was really in the wrong about this?"

  My ninth uncle, after all, was a veteran. After listening to me finish speaking, he fell into deep thought for a moment before slowly opening his mouth to ask: "Do you think you did anything wrong?"

  I shook my head and smiled wryly at him: "I don't know."

  My ninth uncle saw me like this, and sighed, saying: "Actually, your experience, I have also encountered it. I was also as confused as you were. So now I can't give you an accurate answer. If you want to know, you can only rely on yourself to find out in the future."

  I saw Ninth Uncle and couldn't get an answer from him, my heart suddenly became confused. Ninth Uncle saw the painful expression on my face and said to me again: "Xiao Fei, no matter when, you must remember that as a Yin Yang Master, it is your duty to subdue demons and evil spirits. Don't let doubts in your mind blind your eyes, just understand one thing, you are human, not a demon. When the time comes later, you will slowly understand."

  Ninth Uncle seemed to understand that if he didn't dispel my heart knot, I would definitely have a shadow in my heart from now on. From then on, if I encountered another monster, I would be timid and fearful, which was a great taboo, and I would surely die.

  I didn't want to be so contradictory either, but for a moment I seemed to have fallen into a strange circle and couldn't pull myself out. I started hating this ruthless fate, we are all just toys in the hands of ruthless fate after all.

  Thinking of this, I suddenly feel a little comforted. Do I have to find the answer myself? Okay, then I'll just keep going step by step until I find the answer I want!

  So I remained silent for a while before making up my mind, and then I told Ninth Uncle about what had happened in the hospital. I asked him if it was serious, whether we could find a back door to get out of this, and ideally let me and Yi Xing off scot-free. When Ninth Uncle heard that we two actually dared to sneak a peek at the Yin messengers summoning souls, he too grew angry, saying: "Nonsense! Utter nonsense! You're naturally mischievous, but I never thought that the descendant of the Three Purity Sect would also be involved in such nonsense with you!"

  I saw Ninth Uncle get angry and hurriedly said to him: "Master, we were just curious for a moment and made a big mistake. You see, after all, we are also unintentional, can you help us with this matter?"

  My ninth uncle saw my wronged expression and sighed, saying to me: "Alas, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I'm just a small yin messenger. Although I have some relationship with Xie Bi'an, he is born with a temperamental nature, so even if I wanted to help, I would be powerless."

  It's all over, it seems that Ninth Uncle can't help me either. Now I can only find that female ghost within two years to save my life. But how am I supposed to find her? So I asked Ninth Uncle with a dejected tone: "Master, how are we going to find that female ghost? Do you have any good methods?"

  "Uncle Jiu shook his head and said to me, 'If this yin soul still has a record in the Book of Life and Death, we can find it through the book. However, its information has already been deleted from the book, so there's no specific way to search for it now. But I think that yin soul must have some unfulfilled wishes, which is why it escaped. It was a resident of this city when it was alive, so it must still be in this city. You should pay attention over the next two years because yin souls are different from ghost souls; they don't have a ghostly heart. However, they're also different from wandering souls that have gone beyond half a step. At this time, the yin soul belongs to an unusual category and can transform into human form. Generally, yin souls have obvious characteristics - there will be black tendons on the back of their ears due to the strokes in the Book of Life and Death.' That's all I know."

  After listening to the old man, I let out a long sigh. It was somewhat helpful to me after all. Now I know that the escaped ghost has ropes on its hands and black tendons behind its ears. That should be quite obvious.

  Forget it, anyway there are still two years left. Let's talk about it later, damn it, in these two years I must practice the "Three Pure Books" bitterly, if I can't find it, then I'll fight with Lao Yi and that Wu Chang to the death!

  After making up my mind, I continued to say to Ninth Uncle: "Right, Master, I have two things here. Take a look and see if you know what they are."

  I took out the two things and showed them to Ninth Uncle. When Ninth Uncle in the mirror saw the two things, his face changed suddenly, and he exclaimed: "Where did you get these from???"
