The First Ghost Catching
Ninth Uncle was drunk that night and said a lot of nonsense to his three disciples.
Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai saw that their master was so happy, so they also drank. In the end, the three of them were drunk.
Only Lin Yu remained fresh.
He got up and walked out of the house, thinking about what had happened in the past month and mumbling to himself.
"Tsk…With a master like Ninth Uncle, it's good to be a Taoist priest, haha!”
In the blink of an eye, three days had passed.
Ninth Uncle treated Lin Yu as his successor and taught him everything he knew.
On this day, the master and disciple were talking in the courtyard.
"Is Ninth Uncle home?"
At this moment, Nian's anxious voice came from outside the small courtyard.
"Little Yu, open the door." Ninth Uncle gestured.
Lin Yu nodded and got up to open the door.
A young figure walked in. He was wearing coarse clothes and a pair of straw sandals. It was obvious that his family was not very rich.
The young man walked in and saw Ninth Uncle sitting upright. He ran over and said anxiously,""Ninth Uncle, Ninth Uncle. The village chief asked me to invite you to the Wang Family Village to take a look. The Wang Family Village is haunted!”
When Ninth Uncle heard the word 'haunted', his eyes narrowed. He stood up and poured him a cup of tea."No hurry, tell me slowly."
The young man rushed over and was extremely thirsty. He drank three large glasses of water at once before he panted and said,"It was Wang Sheng who made the fortune. Wang Sheng Fa's wife died a few days ago. Everyone helped him settle his funeral and did not care too much about it.”
"In the end, a few days later. Strange things are happening." The young man swallowed his saliva as he said this, and his eyes were filled with fear.
"And then?" Lin Yu urged.
"These past few days, whenever it was night, there would be the sound of a woman crying in Wang Shengfa's house. And…and there was the sound of a child crying.”the young man said.
Ninth Uncle pondered for a moment and asked,"Could it be that it's not bad?"”
"How is that possible?" Hearing Ninth Uncle's words, the young man said anxiously,""Many of us heard it, but…the strangest thing is that Wang Shengfa's body has been getting weaker and weaker these days. His face is pale, and he feels like he can't hold on any longer.”
Ninth Uncle nodded and said to Lin Yu,""Xiao Yu, go and prepare. We'll go to the Wang Family Village to take a look.”
Lin Yu nodded and returned to his room.
The so-called preparation was nothing more than bringing talismans, peach wood swords, Taoist robes, glutinous rice, and other things in case of emergency.
After a while, Lin Yu was ready and walked out of the courtyard.""Master, it's done."
"Let's go." Ninth Uncle nodded.
"Master, aren't we waiting for Eldest Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother?”Lin Yu asked.
It would have been fine if they were not mentioned, but Ninth Uncle was angry at the mention of them."I don't know where these two fellows have gone to fool around.”
The Wang Family Village wasn't too far from Ren Family Town. The three of them hurried all the way and would arrive in about two to three hours.
Along the way, Lin Yu was still a little nervous.
After all, it was his first time catching a ghost. It would be a lie to say that he was not flustered.
Ninth Uncle saw that Lin Yu was a little flustered, but he did not blame him. Everyone had their first time.
Thinking back to the first time he was brought by his master to catch ghosts, wasn't he as nervous as him?
"Xiao Yu, remember this: Humans were 30% afraid of ghosts, and ghosts were 70% afraid of humans. No matter how powerful a ghost was, as long as you were fearless, it could not do anything to you.”
"Many ghosts make use of people's cowardice to cause trouble. When people are timid, their Yang fire will be weak. When Yang fire is weak, it will naturally be easier for ghosts to target them.”
Lin Yu nodded and replied," I'll remember it. Thank you for your teachings, Master."”
Ninth Uncle looked at Lin Yu with gratification, feeling extremely happy.
This little fellow was talented, studious, and listened to words. He was many times stronger than those two blockheads, Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng.
Finally, just as the sky turned dark, the three of them arrived at the Wang Family Village.
At that time, lamp oil was still very precious to the villagers. Under normal circumstances, people would go to bed early to make children and save lamp oil.
At this time, the Wang Family Village was brightly lit. Every household had their brightest lights on.
"Coming, coming! Third Brother was back, and Ninth Uncle was here as well.”A large group of people were waiting at the village entrance. When they saw the three of them, they immediately shouted.
"Ninth Uncle…"
"Ninth Uncle…"
The crowd began to speak, but they couldn't make out anything.
Ninth Uncle stretched out his hand and pressed it slightly, saying kindly,""Everyone, calm down. Don't panic.”
Ninth Uncle was very famous in this area. Whenever something happened at home, they would ask Ninth Uncle to come and take a look. Hearing Ninth Uncle's words, everyone quieted down.
"Ninth Uncle, sorry to trouble you." The Wang Family Village Chief sighed.
"Uncle Wang, tell me what happened.”Ninth Uncle asked.
Although he had heard the young man's rough explanation, he still had to ask for more details.
Only by verifying each other and understanding the reason could they solve the problem better.
The old village chief explained the process, and it was basically the same as what the young man had said.
Basically, after Wang Shengfa's wife died, she lingered in the human world and pestered Wang Shengfa.
"Where's Wang Shengfa?" Ninth Uncle asked curiously.”
The old village chief was silent for a moment and said,"He's in his room. He hasn't gone out for a few days.”
Ninth Uncle was about to ask again when suddenly, a sharp cry came from the village, giving people goosebumps.
Ninth Uncle's expression changed." Not good. Xiao Yu, come in with me! Everyone, don't wander around here."
