Finally, I breathed a sigh of relief after seeing off these two great gods. I had many questions to ask Cui Zuofei, but seeing that Cui Zuofei looked very tired, I did not ask any more questions. Chang Tianqing also left unknowingly without saying goodbye. In the end, Cui Zuofei and I dragged Kameda to the car with great effort. I don’t know what this guy eats, and it was difficult for Cui Zuofei and I to pull him. After getting in the car, Cui Zuofei drove back to Harbin. I then made a brief summary of what I had learned that night. I had gained a lot, especially the matter of the Yasukuni Shrine. Although I don’t know whether what the ghost said is true or not, if it is true, then this is really a big secret.

Kameda woke up the next day. It was a good thing he fainted, otherwise he probably couldn't bear it psychologically. He was scared to death just by seeing those black fogs yesterday, not to mention the Black and White Impermanence. That would be too much.

Anyway, Cui Zuofei and I settled the matter, and Kameda paid us 300,000 yuan. It was not easy to get this 300,000 yuan. In the past, we just played with some little kids, but the star lineup last night was too strong. It felt like I had been dealing with some bar singers in the past, but yesterday I saw King Liu. Yes, the sharpness of the contrast is like this.

After what happened yesterday, Cui Zuofei was still pale the next day, as if he had a serious illness. Cui Zuofei gave people the feeling that he was unpredictable. But the good news is that he did not shorten his life. Unconsciously, I have gradually regarded Cui Zuofei as an elder brother. After all, his personality is very similar to mine. There is a saying that goes, birds of a feather flock together. That's it.

Half a month later, Cui Zuofei's health was finally almost recovered, and after much persuasion from me, he agreed to tell me his past story.

Unexpectedly, his story is so long. According to his own words, it is almost enough to make a book. Cui Zuofei has to start from his grandfather's generation. When his grandfather was young, he accidentally killed a weasel that had become a spirit. You know, weasels are animals with a particularly strong desire for revenge, so the spirit began to take revenge on him. Later, they found a capable gentleman to help them solve the problem.

Finally, the gentleman left them a talisman that could protect them from harm. However, the talisman could not come into contact with water except when taking a bath. It had been working fine for decades, but when Cui Zuofei was a sophomore in high school, he was accidentally blinded by something dirty and fell into a stream, which wet the talisman. He was then harmed by a yellow fox and entered the underworld.

Yin City is the connecting point between the underworld and the human world. All the dead people will take the train to the underworld here. Cui Zuofei was originally considered dead, but he met his master in Yin City, whom he called Uncle Jiu.

Then, his uncle Jiu taught him some skills and found a way to bring him back to life. From then on, he became a fortune teller. As for what happened next, it was just a bunch of ghost catching stuff everywhere. I won't go into details here. Anyway, Cui Zuofei's story is really long.

Listening to Cui Zuofei's stories feels like listening to a novel. This guy probably has experience telling stories to the kids in the kindergarten next door. He even tells his own stories with ups and downs. He feels like those storytellers of the last century. But if Cui Zuofei goes to tell stories, I guess he can only tell dirty jokes.

However, from Cui Zuofei's story, I actually heard a method to solve the five disadvantages and three deficiencies. However, in the end, this method seemed to have died for some reason, and Cui Zuofei did not explain it in detail here. However, I feel that there may be many ways to solve the five disadvantages and three deficiencies in this world, not just one.

Thinking of this, I told Cui Zuofei about the Yin-Yang Record. Cui Zuofei, who was originally lying on the bed, suddenly jumped up, grabbed my shoulders with both hands and said, "You must take me with you when you go to find the Yin-Yang Record, okay? I beg you." I felt my hand was a little painful from his grip, but I could feel his excitement. It seemed that he also wanted to get rid of the five disadvantages and three shortcomings very much. However, to be honest, as long as people who practice Taoism will try their best to get rid of the five disadvantages and three shortcomings.

"Brother Cui, it's too polite to say that. I will definitely inform you when the time comes, don't worry." I nodded to Cui Zuofei, and Cui Zuofei let go of my hand and scratched his hair and said, "Xiaojiu, I'm sorry, I was too excited. You know, I have suffered a lot from all the disadvantages and shortcomings."

Because Cui Zuofei told me his story, I know that his five disadvantages and three shortcomings made him lonely, and he was destined to be lonely all his life. Especially since Cui Zuofei had met many women, but they all passed by each other in the end and he was not able to achieve a happy ending. It must be because of these five disadvantages and three shortcomings.

Finally, I started the life of a charlatan again. I felt that I gradually fell in love with this kind of life. I would fool people when I had nothing to do, play Landlord, go out to buy groceries, and cook at home with Cui Zuofei. My relationship with Cui Zuofei also grew rapidly.

But all good things must come to an end. I have been here for nearly four months, and the supernatural investigation team over there has been established for quite a while. I, as a nominal member, have never returned to the team. Fang Yaozu has called me many times, and I have always said that I would go back as soon as possible.

I thought about it and thought that the incident involving Master Chang Xian had probably passed. Later, I asked Cui Zuofei for his opinion, and he told me to go back without worry. He said that he had some friendship with Master Chang Xian and would find a way to help me.

Seeing that things were going this way and it was an inevitable trend, I packed up and prepared to go back to Chengdu. The night before I left, I drank with Cui Zuofei all night and almost cried. Thinking about it, I really couldn't bear to leave that bastard Cui Zuofei.

Although this guy is a bit of a jerk, he is really good to me. There is nothing I can say about it. I chatted with Cui Zuofei for a very long time that night. He asked me to contact him often when I returned and to visit him in Harbin when I had nothing to do. Finally, he also told me about the Yin-Yang Record and asked me to contact him immediately if I had any clues. Unfortunately, he still had some things to do here, otherwise he would have gone back to Chengdu with me to find the Yin-Yang Record.

The next morning, Cui Zuofei sent me to the train. I could see that Cui Zuofei was in a bad mood. He is also a very emotional person. He originally wanted to cry like they do on TV, but he held back. The main reason was that there were quite a few beautiful women at the train station, and it would be too embarrassing to cry.

I got on the train, and as it slowly started moving, my journey in Harbin also came to an end. I returned to Chengdu and started my job as a paranormal investigator.
