Chapter 427 Why are you asking for money?
"Where are you from? Are you from the Jiuyou Cult?" Zhao Pohu pretended to be a tiger and interrogated the drowned ghost.
The Drowned Ghost shook his head vigorously, emphasizing that he had no ill intentions: "It was a pure accident that I came here, really."
“I was originally a fisherman in the East China Sea. After I drowned, I felt unwilling and turned into a ghost. It happened that my body encountered a wind stone, and I became a drowned ghost.”
"The East China Sea is boundless, with all kinds of creatures and swarms of swimming fish. I secretly sucked in the yang energy of various sea tribes, and gradually improved my cultivation. From a drowned ghost who couldn't see the sun, I was promoted to a drowned ghost in the Qi training stage, and I had the ability to protect myself. Power."
"After protecting myself, I relaxed and wandered around the East China Sea. From time to time I would jump out of the water to scare people. I became more and more courageous and wanted to go to the depths of the East China Sea that I didn't dare to go to before I was alive. As soon as I left the safe waters, I encountered a hundred-year-old fish. The ten-pound fish king almost sucked me in when he opened his mouth."
“As soon as I saw that this was not going to work, I quickly ran to the safe sea area and made up my mind not to leave the safe sea area!”
“I practiced slowly in the safe zone, devouring the yang energy of the fish, and sometimes eating the fishermen’s sacrifices.”
“We fishermen have the habit of offering sacrifices to the East China Sea, and I drowned. It can be seen that offering sacrifices to the East China Sea cannot guarantee peace, so feel free to eat the sacrifices boldly.”
"Later, I didn't know what level I had reached in my cultivation, so I just kept practicing without paying attention to anyone. One day I met an immortal cultivator who wanted to capture me and refine me. I easily took him away. I ran away and got his storage ring and some skills. After studying the skills, I realized that I had reached the late stage of foundation building, and I had been dead for two hundred years at that time."
“After knowing the direction of my cultivation, I continued to practice. After another eight hundred years, I finally reached the middle stage of Nascent Soul. During this period, I never left the safe sea area.”
“I originally planned to leave the safe sea area after the transformation stage, but I didn’t expect that someone sneaked up on me and slapped me unconscious. When I woke up, I was already in this pool of water.”
Lu Yang interrupted the drowned ghost's confession: "Does that mean you don't know who brought you here?"
"have no idea."
“What are the characteristics of that person?”
“Better than me.”
…continue speaking.”
"It took me several days to figure out the situation. It turns out that this is near Hanshui City in the Huangzhou of the Great Xia Dynasty. It is the westernmost point of the Central Continent and is separated from the East China Sea by countless miles."
“I can’t take a flying boat or anything in this situation, so I can only stay here.”
"When I was looking around, I met a couple in Baishui Village. The man's name is Liu San and the woman's name is Huang Zao'er. That's who they are." The Drowned Ghost pointed to the unconscious woman lying next to him.
“At first they were very scared when they saw me, but later they saw that I had no ill intentions, so they became bolder and asked me if I could create the illusion that Huang Zaoer had drowned, so that they could deceive the insurance and give me part of the compensation.”
“I was penniless at the time and needed money urgently, so I agreed to them.”
"With my ability, it is very easy to create the illusion that Huang Zao'er was drowned. The gangster can't tell the truth. After receiving the compensation, it was revealed that Huang Zao'er was buried and actually hid it with me."
“The couple plans to leave Baishui Village and live in another city after the news is over.”
“But I didn’t expect that now is the time to crack down on ghosts. The imperial court is cooperating with some corpse exorcism sect to specifically attack me.”
“I don’t want to make things big. I’ll run away when I see someone, and scare them away if they can’t run away. I just scared away a golden elixir-level person a few days ago, and now you four golden elixir-level people are here!”
The drowned ghost looked aggrieved. He almost risked his life in order to get some compensation.
The four of them would not just listen to the drowned ghost's words. Lu Yang asked, "Why did Huang Zao'er fall into coma?"
“Wake her up.”
"Okay." The drowned ghost didn't dare to disobey, so he cast a spell slightly and flicked the light with his index finger to wake up Huang Zao'er.
Huang Zaoer was stunned and didn't know what was happening. He saw four people and one corpse surrounding Huang Zaoer. The feeling of oppression was shocking.
Huang Zaoer had seen this kind of behavior before and answered all questions. What he said was exactly the same, that the couple had evil thoughts and wanted to defraud the insurance company, so they colluded with the drowned ghost to defraud the chamber of commerce of compensation.
"That's not right. Why do you want money for a ghost?" Meng Jingzhou squinted his eyes and was keenly aware of the logical loopholes in the drowned ghost's confession.
The yin energy of ghosts is too strong, which will make mortals instinctively feel uncomfortable. The ghosts are too conspicuous, and it is very difficult to even enter the city and require a lot of effort to disguise themselves, let alone buy things on the street.
As for going to the Chamber of Commerce, it is even more impossible. The Chamber of Commerce is full of monks, and they can see through the disguise of ghosts at a glance.
Furthermore, how much compensation a mortal can receive in total is not necessarily enough for a few spiritual stones. A ghost in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, a being who controls the wind and rain in the East China Sea, what use is this money?
Look at the three naughty ghosts, Xiaowu, Xiaoliu and Xiaoqi, working door to door at night and working hard all night for free.
“How dare you, you dare to lie to us!” Meng Jingzhou’s body was ignited with blazing fire, and he glared angrily.
“No, even a ghost can still make money!” The drowned ghost cried out for injustice and hurriedly explained.
"Look, I am a fisherman who drowned in the sea. I have always lived in the sea and am a seawater ghost. Now that I have arrived in Hantan, although the Yin Qi is enough, it is fresh water after all, and I am not used to living in it."
“I’ll let Liu San and his wife get the compensation by defrauding them, then spend money to buy salt and pour it into the pond water, so that the pond water can change from fresh water to salt water.”
Lu Yang: “…”
Meng Jingzhou: “…”
Barbarian Bones: “…”
Zhao Po: “…”
This is the first time they heard that water ghosts are divided into sea water ghosts and fresh water ghosts.
Lu Yang secretly sent a message to Zhao Po: "There are many ghosts in your deserted state. Have you ever heard that water ghosts are divided into sea water ghosts and fresh water ghosts?"
“Our Huangzhou is a whole continent away from the East China Sea. This is the first time I have seen a ghost in the East China Sea.” Zhao Po felt that he had not seen enough.
Mangu is accustomed to this, and is even proud of it.
Following Brother Lu and Brother Meng, you can gain insights wherever you go.
The Immortal Fairy rolled on the bed, her little feet tumbling back and forth, and laughed at Lu Yang for not thinking broadly enough: "I don't know, you have forgotten the two first-grade golden elixirs I told you, one is called Sanjiang Wuhu elixir, and the other is called Sanjiang Wuhu elixir. The biggest difference between the two is that one contains salt water and the other contains fresh water!"
"My lord, didn't you use the universe in your sleeves to **** away the water in the pool? You will know it as soon as you taste it!" The drowned man is still looking for evidence to prove that he is telling the truth.
Lu Yang asked with a dark face: "Where did the fish in the pool go?"
“It’s all so salty.”
