I was completely confused by Dou Po's question: "What do you mean?"
"Xie Jingwen is certainly not a concern, but his master Sun Yifan is no small matter."
Dou Po's eyes unconsciously revealed a trace of fear: "Sun Yifan's position in the Xuanjing Division is very important, but he rarely takes action. All matters are left to the Yanyue Seven Beauties around him."
"Those seven women are all extremely talented and would surely become powerful if exiled to the martial arts world. But they are all willing to stay behind the scenes and work wholeheartedly for Sun Yifan. If you mess with Sun Yifan, it's like messing with the Seven Beauties of Yanyue. Even if you are a local overlord, you will end up with your head and body separated."
Dou Po said again: "But if you didn't kill Jie Jingwen, Sun Yifan and the others wouldn't have done such a thing as to personally seek trouble for their apprentice. If you had killed Jie Jingwen, it would be a different matter."
I couldn't help but frown slightly. I had already guessed 80% of what Doupo was going to say next.
Dou Po continued, "Given Xie Jingwen's character, if you don't kill him, he will keep causing trouble for you until he completely destroys you. The more times you defeat him, the more intense and despicable his revenge on you will be."
Grandma Dou said earnestly: "Wu Zhao, if you are in the martial arts world and don't have a backer that people are afraid of, you will be bullied more often than fighting back!"
Monk Shi smiled and said, "Dou Ma, aren't you our backer?"
Grandma Dou shook her head and said, "Although I am not afraid of Sun Yifan, there are too many things that make me hesitate. I can't help you with anything."
I smiled disapprovingly and said, "When an enemy comes, we will fight him; when a flood comes, we will block it with earth. One can't be scared to death by something that hasn't happened yet, right?"
"That's right." Dou Po responded without comment and stopped talking.
At this time, Lu Xiaoying said, "Wu Zhao, you have practiced the Nine Fateful Blades, right?"
"Yes." After I nodded, Lu Xiaoying said, "Although the Nine Fate Swords are extremely powerful, I advise you not to use them unless it is absolutely necessary. In a sense, the Nine Fate Swords are also using fate, and they are using fate to kill people. This can easily lead to retribution. In other words, if you use the Nine Fate Swords to kill someone once, it may bring you endless troubles. For example, Xie Jingwen."
Lu Xiaoying was right. A fortune teller can know the secrets of heaven, but he cannot use them. Once he uses them, he will suffer retribution. The only difference is the size of the retribution.
I smiled bitterly and said, "My ghost eye money has already been wasted, what else can I use the nine swords of disaster life for?"
Lu Xiaoying said: "You take the ghost eye money too seriously."
As soon as I showed displeasure on my face, Lu Xiaoying said, "For you, the ghost eye money may be a kind of spiritual sustenance, or the belief of the descendants of the ghost vein. But have you ever thought that the ghost eye money is a tool for calculating the secrets of heaven in the eyes of others, just like..."
Lu Xiaoying looked at my expression and then slowly said, "It's no different from ordinary big money."
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Lu Xiaoying continued, "The copper coins used for fortune-telling may be lost, damaged, or even corroded and rusted by sweat. Have you ever seen a fortune-teller who only uses a pair of copper coins in his entire life? Even if the ghost eye coins are destroyed, they can be remade."
"In fact, it is not difficult to make ghost money. As long as you have some basic skills in casting gold and silver jewelry, you can make ghost money in no time. The ghost money I gave you was made by my master. What is difficult is to find a psychic ghost who is willing to serve you."
Lu Xiaoying said, "When you were in the mountains, two of your three ghost eye coins teamed up to deceive you, and the other one didn't do anything, but it didn't help you either. This can only mean that you and the evil ghost in the third ghost coin are just in a cooperative relationship, while the other two ghosts don't even have a cooperative relationship. Am I right?"
"Yes!" I nodded and said, "There is only an agreement between He Zhenzhen and I, and there are no restrictions."
Lu Xiaoying said: "Now that Old Lady Dong has put in the second ghost coin, there is also an agreement between you and Old Lady Dong. She can cooperate with you on an equal footing, but can she listen to you?"
"No!" I knew very well in my heart that Old Lady Dong entered the ghost money, one to understand the cause and effect between us, and the other to try whether there would be any turning point in the future that would allow her to rebuild the Qingfeng lineage.
If I ask her to risk her life for me, there is absolutely no possibility of that. Fox Fairy is affectionate, but the premise is that you have to have a favor and love for her that is difficult to repay. I was far from that kind of relationship with Old Lady Dong.
Monk Shi couldn't help but interrupt when he heard this: "Where can you find such an obedient and strong ghost? It's good enough to be able to cooperate."
Lu Xiaoying looked at me and said, "As far as I know, the ghost vein has a secret method to forcibly imprison ghosts for their own use. You..."
I gave Lu Xiaoying a wry smile before she finished speaking. After seeing my expression, Lu Xiaoying couldn't help but sigh and said, "It seems that the Ghost Vein's Prison God Technique has also been lost. If you want to remake the ghost money, you have to find a strong ghost."
"The ghost that is most suitable to cast ghost eye coins is naturally the hero among ghosts. Don't even think about the ghost king and ghost generals. With our current strength, we are lucky to be able to escape if we encounter a ghost general."
"The second type of ghosts are the ghosts of witches, fortune tellers, mathematicians, and doctors. When they were alive, they were either skilled in divination and calculation, or had extraordinary observation skills. They are most suitable to be the spirits of the ghost eye money. Unfortunately, such ghosts are also difficult to find."
Lu Xiaoying paused and said, "The third type is the souls of ancestors. Ancestral souls have both advantages and disadvantages! You have already experienced the advantages and disadvantages once, so I don't need to explain it anymore!"
"As for the other ghosts... How should I put it? It feels like something is missing." Lu Xiaoying said, "Now you only have one ghost coin left. As long as there is a suitable ghost, it can be filled."
"There is indeed a suitable ghost..." I said to Ye Jin, "Old Ye, take Lu Xiaoying back first and deal with the actual matter. Didn't that old Hou come down the mountain safely? Take Lu Xiaoying to find him. No matter what method you use, as long as you can force him to suppress this matter, it will be fine."
Ye Jin seems to be a loyal person, but he is actually full of evil intentions. Combined with Lu Xiaoying's special identity, I believe they can definitely end up perfectly.
I didn't even go home, I asked Shi Heshang to drive the car directly to the hospital where Wang Shiyu and I met the ghost. I once met a doctor ghost who could calculate life and death under the stairs of the hospital. If I wanted to make up for the ghost money, that doctor ghost was just right.
I waited until midnight and then sneaked to the bottom of the stairs to light the soul-calling incense. Not long after, the doctor ghost sitting behind the examination table appeared in front of me: "Is it you?"
"We meet again." Last time I sat opposite the Medical Ghost because of Chen Liu, but this time I was holding the Rakshasa sword, standing in front of him with murderous intent.
The doctor ghost's anger surged: "Are you here to exorcise demons and catch ghosts?"
I smiled and said, "I have no interest in exorcising demons and catching ghosts. I am not the kind of sorcerer who would do good deeds even if I have no employer. I came to you just to discuss cooperation."
The ghost doctor said coldly: "I don't think there is any need for me to cooperate with you."
I sat down and said, "You have been staying in the hospital and refusing to leave, which means that you have unfinished business. Besides, not every doctor can turn into a medical ghost after death."
"I don't know how many years you've been in the hospital, but you've never accomplished what you wanted to do, right?"
While I was talking, I was paying attention to the doctor's expression. Sure enough, he was slightly moved and said, "Whether it can be completed or not seems to have nothing to do with you."
"Not before, maybe in the future..." I said with a smile, "If what you want to do is within my ability, I can help you fulfill your wish as a condition of our cooperation; if I can't do it, I will never bother you again. What do you think?"
The ghost doctor said coldly, "I thought some powerful master had come, but it turns out he is just a useless little sorcerer. Go away, I don't have time to talk nonsense with you."
The other party’s attitude immediately made me feel disappointed.
I can only invite the ghost doctor, not catch him. Once he becomes resentful, even if I force the ghost money into my pocket, he will come out to cause trouble for me in the end. I don't want to face the crisis like the one in the Ghost Marriage Village again.
When I wanted to push for it again, the doctor ghost closed his eyes and raised his head, obviously not intending to say another word to me.
I could only bow and say, "In that case, I'll see you later!"
When I stood up to leave, the Doupo who came with me smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, you go first. I want to talk to this old turtle grandson."
"How dare you scold me?" The ghost doctor was furious.
Grandma Dou slapped the table and said, "What's wrong with calling you an old idiot? Even if other doctors can't occupy a clinic, they have to occupy a thatched house. But you're the one occupying a stairwell where brooms and shovels are stored, and you're pretending to be a doctor? Have you ever been a doctor and treated patients?"
The ghost doctor roared: "My family has been a famous doctor for nine generations..."
"You are such a jerk, and you are a famous doctor for nine generations?" Grandma Dou pointed at the corner and said, "What is that? Which child peed on it? How come I have never seen a famous doctor who smells urine every day?"
The ghost doctor must have been a master of medicine when he was alive. No matter what his reputation was, his medical skills must have been well-known. Famous doctors have the bearing of famous doctors. Even if they don't care about fame, at least they won't hide in such a place. I just ignored this problem at the beginning.
“You you…” The ghost doctor was so angry that he was shaking all over.
But Dou Po had no intention of letting him go: "What do you mean by 'I'? You were poisoned to death by the medicine you prescribed for yourself, right? Otherwise, how could you be a ghost? Your brain is not working well, and you sit in the corner of the stairs every day, smelling shit and urine, and looking down on this and that!"
Dou Po almost spit out saliva: "Don't you want to pretend to be a big-tailed maggot? I'll let you pretend to be enough!" (To be continued)
