Chapter 13 [The Way of the Ghost (Police Constable)]

Yang He was horrified. What on earth was going on in the yamen?

If the pupil ghost had not resisted, his own memory would have been affected. This is definitely not something a weak ghost, or even an ordinary evil ghost, can do.

Old man Yang only went in and out of the yamen a few times, but he ended up becoming a constable without any warning.

“I shouldn’t have told this old man about the government office. Maybe…”

and many more.

I’m afraid it’s not just Old Man Yang!!
Yang He looked around and noticed that some of the vendors at the stalls looked a little unfamiliar.

He quickly asked the woman, “Old lady, do you know Song Lao Er?”

“Officer Song? I saw him not long ago. He was in charge of patrolling the streets in the west of the city.”

Yang He couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingling. Song Laoer was originally a fishmonger in the market, but now he has become a constable. It can be seen that the government is quietly recruiting a large number of people.

“Ahe!”

When Zhang Huayue saw Yang He, he turned sideways and whispered to the old man Yang.

The two walked quickly.

Yang He’s pupil ghost began to throb again, and the black cat hid in his sleeve and refused to show up.

Through his spiritual vision, he discovered that not only Zhang Huayue, but even Old Man Yang had negative energy overflowing from his body, and a ghost even appeared out of nowhere.

It also looks like a long white bone snake, wrapped around Old Man Yang’s spine.

Old man Yang hadn’t been seen for two days. He seemed to be nourished by the Yin energy, and his energy and spirit had improved. Among his white hair, there were some strands of black hair.

Yang He’s pupils shrank slightly, and the scene he saw through his spiritual vision changed drastically.

The two men’s uniforms were contaminated with Yin energy and became spotted.

The white-bone snake revealed its true form, which had nothing to do with snakes at all, but was a long and narrow tiger tail.

The two men were wearing tiger skins, like tiger monsters.

“Could it be… being an accomplice to the evildoer?”

It is said that people who are bitten to death by tigers will turn into ghosts. Not only do these ghosts not hate tigers, but they also specifically lure people to be eaten by tigers.

As soon as Yang He had a thought, some information emerged from his spiritual vision.

【The Way of the Ghost (Police Constable)】

[Once mastered, the ghost will turn into tiger bones and wrap around the spine, which can drive the power of the tiger ghost, but it must not leave the tiger den, otherwise the tiger bones will gradually devour its own spine. ]

“As expected, they are helping the evildoers! The way the main world spreads the cultivation method is really weird!”

Yang He couldn’t help but stare in the direction of the yamen, and felt a gust of cold wind, as if there was a giant tiger crawling inside the yamen and roaring.

“The imperial court of the Grand Secretary is definitely not a simple matter. With the help of the tiger ghost, the detectives can control the ghost minions.”

Yang He suspected that as long as he entered and left the yamen, he would be coveted by the tiger ghost. Once his physique matched that of the tiger ghost, he would become a constable possessed by the ghost.

“The so-called tiger’s den…”

“Isn’t it the entire Peibai City? Hundreds of ghosts are patrolling everywhere.”

If the constable leaves Peibai City, the evil spirit in his body might revive.

The Dasi imperial court had been able to exist for more than two thousand years, and it must have established a complete system, and the Guigui Dao was unsurprisingly one of the links.

The advantage of the ghost-hunting method is that the detective may not know that there is a ghost inside his body until his death.

“Besides the Ghost Sect, does the Yamen have any other Taoist traditions?”

“Who is Tiger Ghost?”

Yang He had a lot of thoughts in his mind, and he could only be thankful that the Ghost Sect was under the jurisdiction of the Imperial Court. At least for the time being, Peibai City would not be in any danger.

There should be a way to get rid of ghosts in the world of allusions, so let’s take a long-term view.

Only after Zhang Huayue and the other man arrived in front of him did Yang He suppress his distracting thoughts and walk towards them.

“Dad, Uncle Zhang.”

“Ah He, why did you want to come to the market so early?”

Yang He mentioned the rooster, “I see you’ve been too busy lately, so I want to give you some nourishment.”

“Ah He, you are thoughtful, but it’s a pity that you don’t have the chance to eat it. You don’t know that constables need to practice martial arts to strengthen their spirits, so they must not eat meat.”

Yang He nodded, thinking that eating meat would probably be a way to stimulate the evil spirits in his body.

Old man Yang added: “Ah He, there are occasional vacancies in the government office. You can take a break for a while and I will try to find you a job.”

“…” Yang He doesn’t have any big ideas at the moment. After all, the path of ghosts has many restrictions.

Zhang Huayue lowered his voice and said, “Ah He, remember the Song Zhi I told you about? His body was just found not long ago…”

Yang He’s heart trembled, and then Zhang Huayue added: “Ah He, you should avoid contact with people from the underworld. Song Zhi’s body was emptied of his organs, and even his bones were not spared.”

“Tsk tsk tsk.” Old man Yang shook his head and clicked his tongue.

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. We still have to patrol the streets. Let’s go first.”

Zhang Huayue patted Yang He on the shoulder, and the two of them disappeared into the market along the street.

Yang He watched them go away, silently took all the belongings back to the earthen house, and felt vaguely that Song Zhi might have become a ghost.

A hollowed-out corpse actually looks more like a ghost crawling out of the body.

Song Zhi might have revived for the second time.

………

When Yang Heyi got home, he immediately fenced the rooster in, threw the earthen jar containing poisonous insects into the corner, and let the black cat roam free in the side room.

When he had finished his work, he began to process the bundles of herbs.

Yang He didn’t need to master alchemy, because his requirements were not high. He only needed ‘Snickers that boost Yang energy’. Even if it was highly toxic, it would be fine as long as it didn’t kill him in a short period of time.

He was too lazy to wash them and just spread them out in the yard to dry.

After drying, the herbs are thrown into the pot in batches and boiled. When the water is almost dried up, flour and peanuts are poured in and the mixture is stirred continuously.

Finally, roll it into pill shape.

【Dabu Dan】

[After taking it, it will cause the Yang fire to be too strong, and the heart rate will increase. Long-term use can easily cause lesions in the internal organs. ]

“Not bad, not bad. It can save lives at the critical moment.”

There were more than three hundred tonic pills in total. Yang He took out forty of them, put them in a wooden box and carried them with him.

He called out the panel, and at this time the number of times Ghost Lotus had been restored.

[Ghost Flower: 2/3 (8%)]

During the seven days of busy elixir refining, Peibai City was peaceful.

Old man Yang occasionally returned home, and most of his time he was busy inspecting various urban areas. He didn’t care about Yang He tinkering in the yard.

“Everything is ready. It’s almost time to go to the world of allusions.”

Yang He moved the earthen jar, held the rooster in his right hand, and grasped the back of the black cat’s neck with his left hand.

[Vulgar things: Lotus-born lotus]

[Related allusion: “Ghost Lotus”, whether to consume 1 point of spiritual vision to enter the allusion world]

[Whether to consume 0.1 points of spiritual vision and carry the earthen altar containing poisonous insects into the world of allusions]

“determine.”

The earthen altar next to Yang He disappeared.

[Whether to consume 0.4 points of spiritual vision and bring the raccoon cat into the world of allusions]

[Whether to consume 0.2 points of spiritual vision and bring the rooster into the world of allusions]

[Do you want to consume 0.3 points of spiritual vision and carry forty big tonic pills?]

“I want to see if living things can affect the characters.”

After Yang He confirmed one by one, three faces slowly appeared in front of him.

[The identities “Jianghu Daoren” and “Carpenter” are dead and cannot be selected to play]

[Jianghu Taoist: As the only Taoist priest in Cailian Town, you heard that the government office was hit by evil spirits and decided to recommend yourself, but you ended up dying while carrying a coffin.]

[Carpenter: You were invited by the government to repair the coffin cover. While preparing the materials, you unexpectedly found someone hanged in the house.]

The two faces turned to ashes, and one could almost hear their unwilling cries before they died.

【Please select the role you play in the story】

[Constable (in white): As a constable in Cailian Town, you have discovered that dozens of people have died in the town since the coffin from the General’s Mansion arrived. Will you be the next one? ]

[Officer (in white): The third son of the general’s mansion died young, and you are one of the people attending the funeral. You have not slept for three days and three nights since arriving in Cailian Town.]

[Postman (white): You are a postman responsible for delivering letters. When you pass through Cailian Town, you find a family letter from Chentangguan in the package.]
