Chapter 103: The Eighth Master of the Eight Great Families (Part 2) Seeking Flowers

  The teacher of eight great families! (Seeking flowers in the second watch)

  Watching the three people of Huang Long leave, Yan Jing couldn't help but whisper a sentence, "He's really a scumbag! He actually dared to use his captain's safety as an experiment, I won't forgive him."

  "Ah, indeed he can't be let off lightly." Wu Zhengxie chimed in from the side, "That scoundrel isn't a good person. For all good people, they must first prioritize 'filial piety', but that scoundrel probably doesn't even know what 'filial piety' is. Just now he still had the nerve to mention having an 80-year-old elderly mother?"

  "Right, I'll go back and tell Chen Jun to donate more money for charity. As for what he said earlier about having an elderly mother and a wife and children, that's all nonsense. He's actually an orphan with no wife or kids, living a carefree life."

  As for Wu Zhengxie's groundless judgment, Yan Jing didn't have the slightest doubt. She had seen Wu Zhengxie's ferocity early on, and it was said that one glance could see through a person's entire life. This might be something that most fortune tellers couldn't do, but it did include this scoundrel Wu Zhengxie.

  "Really, you've been saying that this market is 'Ghost Market', is it true? Are there really ghosts inside?" Yan Jing looked at Wu Zheng Xie, her beautiful eyes couldn't hide the curiosity and faint fear.

  Women are afraid of ghosts, it's innate. Even if Yan Jing has the Tian Hun Fu, a talisman that can ward off evil spirits, her deep-seated fear and reverence for ghosts have always made her feel apprehensive.

  "I remember you said before that humans have three souls and seven spirits, and the only ones who can be called 'ghosts' are those whose heavenly soul remains in the world after death. Could it be... that there really is an unrecycled heavenly soul inside?" Yan Jing pointed to the tightly closed door with caution, speaking softly.

  Wu Zheng turned his head, glanced at the storefront behind the glass door, and a sly smile instantly appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Xiao Jing, want to take a look? But you have to be mentally prepared, the things inside are all perverts without any clothes."

  "Ah, really?" Yan Jing involuntarily leaned in slightly towards Wu Zhengye.

  "As soon as you activate the Tianhun amulet, you'll be able to see them," Wu Zhengxie said without turning his head, nodding towards the market inside. "Look, there are two women standing on the second floor corridor right now, and they're pointing at us. And look up at the ceiling, there's a man up there too. Does he think I won't notice him just because he's hiding on the ceiling? Haha, what an idiotic ghost."

  "Ah!!" Yan Jing's beautiful eyes showed an even deeper fear, and her voice trembled slightly, "Let's...let's not go in, okay?"

  Feeling the intense tension and fear, Wu Zhengye was taken aback. "I'm telling you, Xiao Jing, what are you afraid of? Although these few little ghosts aren't something ordinary people can deal with, are we ordinary people? Moreover, you still have the Tian Hun Amulet protecting you. If they dare to get close to you, there's no need for me to take action; your Tian Hun Amulet will beat them until their souls scatter and they lose all chance of reincarnation."

  When he heard this, Yan Jing was taken aback at first, but then seemed to think of something and his courage increased a bit. He took a deep breath, opened the file bag in his hand, pulled out a key, turned around and smiled at Wu Zhengye, "Zhengye, I'm not afraid now. As soon as I enter the door, I'll activate the protective charm. Let's see who dares to get close to me."

  Wu Zhengxie smiled and nodded, then strode towards the main gate of the city in big steps.

  "Huh, look quickly, are they going to enter the Ghost Gate City?" A middle-aged man who was passing by stopped in his tracks and pulled over a middle-aged woman beside him, exclaiming in surprise.

  As she gazed out, the middle-aged woman's pupils suddenly jumped wildly, "Quickly, quickly stop them. This is Ghost Gate City, how can living people enter? They must be outsiders who don't know what's going on here, we can't just stand by and do nothing."

  "Right!" A middle-aged man heard this and immediately shouted loudly, "Wait, wait, you two friends, don't go in, no matter what. This place is eerie, it's not a place where the living can enter."

  Panting, he ran to the side of Wu Zhengye and Yan Jing, who were just opening the door. The middle-aged man grabbed Wu Zhengye and Yan Jing with one hand and pulled them backward with force, while also taking a fearful glance inside the room.

  At this time, the middle-aged woman also ran over, saying with a gasp for breath, "Little... little boy..." As soon as she opened her mouth, the middle-aged woman pressed her hand to her heart, because she had run too hard just now, and her heartbeat hadn't calmed down yet. The middle-aged woman's body wasn't good, so for a while, she almost couldn't catch her breath.

  After nearly ten seconds, the middle-aged woman finally calmed down. She also took a fearful glance inside the store and then said seriously, "Young man, young lady, you must be outsiders coming to our city for business, right? This place is not for the living, this is 'North Bank Road 144', one of the top three haunted houses in our city. Whoever goes inside never ends up well, really, I'm not deceiving you."

  "Hey there, young folks, judging from your faces, you seem like kind-hearted people. Let me give you some advice, uncle here, this place is really not suitable to enter." As he said that, the middle-aged man's eyebrows furrowed slightly, "I remember this storefront now belongs to Huang Long Real Estate Agency... Hmph, that Huang Long Real Estate Agency has no conscience at all! They dare to rent out a place like this? Young folks, you'd better look for another storefront, this one..."

  The middle-aged man shook his head, "It's really not a place where people can enter. Even if you're lucky and nothing happens for the time being, it's impossible to do good business. The reputation of this city's number one haunted house is already deeply rooted in our city, no one wants to come and buy your things, even if you lower the price of the goods to the lowest, no one dares to come and buy."

  As they watched the middle-aged man and woman persuading each other, Wu Zhengye and Yan Jing couldn't help but exchange a glance, both of them smiling wryly. Just as Wu Zhengye was about to speak, an old man who looked like he was in his seventies or eighties walked over. Although he looked advanced in age, his eyes were bright and piercing, with a deep, commanding presence that seemed to carry the weight of authority. His ruddy face seemed to indicate that he was in good health. "Young man, you can't go in here."

  "Right, young man, look at what this old fellow is saying, we didn't cheat you." The middle-aged woman added in a timely manner, "I heard from the elderly people at home that at that time, a great monk came to see it and finally held a Buddhist ceremony, saying that it was to suppress the ghosts inside. But that Buddhist ceremony only worked for half a year."

  Later, the big monk came back again, but finally shook his head and left. When the big monk left, he also left a sentence that was mysterious and unclear, seemingly saying something like "乾坤逆行，阴阳倒转，生人勿近" (The universe is reversing, yin and yang are turning upside down, mortals should not approach). We understood the last part "mortals should not approach", but didn't understand the first few sentences.

  However, it can be certain that the great monk was unable to resolve the ghost inside, so he had no choice but to retreat. Young man, even a highly attained monk couldn't do anything, you'd better not go in."

  Wu Zheng and Xie looked at each other, the latter said in a low voice, "The universe is reversed, yin and yang are inverted, mortals should not approach... Zheng Xie, you should understand what that great monk meant by these words, right?"

  Wu Zhengye curled his lip, "Isn't it just a '反' character? This master had already seen through it, that great monk should be in the midst of traveling in the mortal world, wanting to use this to break through some of the Buddhist family's magical obstacles. However, his Taoist cultivation is not enough, and it's not surprising that he can't clean up the few things inside."

  "Hey young man, judging from your words, it seems like you have a very profound understanding, but I don't know who you learned from. Maybe this old man knows them too."

  As soon as he heard this, Wu Zhengye immediately turned his head around, a pair of big and small eyes scanning the old man's body back and forth, and after a moment, he smiled and withdrew his gaze, "Hehe, it turns out we're fellow practitioners, and your strength isn't bad either. I didn't notice earlier, forgive me."

  The old man didn't mind, staring straight into Wu Zhengyi's eyes. After a moment, he smiled with a slight contraction of his pupils, "This old man is nearsighted and can't see your cultivation level. I wonder if you belong to the Tian Shi lineage that specializes in soul body refinement?"

  Wu Zhengyi was taken aback, then gently shook his head. "Old man, I'm a bit special and can't explain it clearly for the time being. Judging from your appearance, you should be thinking of going in with us, right?"

  Looking at Wu Zhengxie, the old man nodded slightly after seeing that he didn't seem to be pushing him away. "I received a call from my eight useless disciples and immediately put down what I was doing, rushing back from Beijing. As it happens, I took an early flight this morning, arrived in H City at noon, and when I got back, I saw that the matter at H City First People's Hospital had already been resolved by someone with great skill. Later, I heard about the problem with Huang Long Real Estate Agency, so here I am again, rushing over in a flurry."

  "Eight disciples?" Wu Zhengxie's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and suddenly his eyes lit up, laughing, "Old man, you're not the teacher of the eight families on Fengshui Street, are you?"

  When he heard this, the old man was a bit embarrassed and looked resentful for a moment. He said with hatred, "Those eight useless things, I had warned them to take doing good deeds as the most important thing, cultivate themselves in doing good deeds, so that they can eliminate their heart demons and obstacles. But those eight guys didn't listen to my words at all, each of them was blinded by money, how dare they call themselves 'Eight Great Families' with their shallow abilities?

  "On the contrary, you young man and this beautiful little girl, the more I look at you, the more confused I become. With my decades of experience, I can tell that neither of you is an ordinary person, especially this little girl. With my abilities, I couldn't even see through what happened to her in the first half of her life?"

  The middle-aged man and woman next to them couldn't help but exchange a glance after hearing the conversation between the three, they figured it out, these three people are not ordinary people. Wu Zhengxie and Yan Jing didn't say anything, they didn't know each other, although they didn't know that old man either, but they did know the reputation of the eight big families on Fengshui Street.

  PS: If there are stored drafts, there's no need to hide them. At 12:30 tonight, three chapters will be updated at once. If it's a burst update, No. 1 will see the messages from friends or the comments left by friends and then update all the burst chapters together. This way is more enjoyable to watch, and I'm also too lazy to stay here every day, focusing on writing and storing drafts is the real deal.

  Finally, I hope all of you fairy friends who have conditions will reward and subscribe to this book. Thank you very much!
