This Taoist Master is too Frivolous

Chapter 190: Chapter 160: Entering the Ghost Market Again (Request for Subscription)_2

On both sides of the street, there were various shops.

Around four o’clock in the afternoon, the sidewalks on both sides of the street would be lined with countless stalls, mainly selling clothes and shoes at low prices with high cost-performance ratios… Of course, to truly get such value, items should be sourced from Xi’an or Yiwu City.

In those places, vendors sold items not by the piece but in piles.

Some were sold by the piece, for example, a short-sleeved shirt for 5 dollars, jeans for 9 dollars. Once the stall owners brought them back and hung them on their racks, they could sell them for 30 or 50 dollars, or even more.

However, they didn’t have enough time for that today and would have to wait for next time.

Hearing they were about to go shopping,

The three women were naturally delighted.

After getting ready, Xu Yang instructed: “You can also get some nice shoes, as well as underwear and hangers… By the way, do you ghosts wear underwear?”

Xu Yang then tried to peek at the collars of Yang Yin and Liu Shishi.

Liu Shishi slapped Xu Yang’s hand away and said, “We still wear them if we have the chance… Okay, okay, what’s with all the questions? We’re leaving!”

Just as the three women left, Officer Wang arrived, driving his police car.

Since it was during his working hours, he was wearing his uniform. As soon as he entered the funeral shop, the six yin spirits retreated, not daring to approach Officer Wang. In their eyes, Officer Wang seemed to be protected by a special power that made them uncomfortable even looking directly at him.

This was quite normal.

Ancient officials were not afraid of ghosts and spirits, not because of their personal strength, but because they were “part of the establishment” and thus had the protection of Imperial aura!

Some military generals were even turned into golden-armored deities by higher powers after their deaths.

As for Officer Wang, he was also “part of the establishment”.

Wearing a uniform, he naturally had the “protection of the Imperial aura and national fortune”.

“Master Xu, Master Lin confessed!” said Officer Wang as soon as he saw Xu Yang.

Xu Yang just smiled and said, “A con artist is also called a master?”

Officer Wang quickly corrected himself, saying, “That guy confessed to everything. Besides the four cases of stolen bones, they also stole three more corpses and specialized in scamming people in the countryside.”

“There are five people in their gang. Lin is the ringleader, and he used to be a pyramid scheme fraudster. He has a good eloquence, so he impersonated a geomancer and cheated people on the streets. Ren Yuandi and the others are his accomplices and are responsible for stealing corpses.”

“As for that opera troupe, they could also be considered as accomplices. They knew what those people were up to, but instead of reporting it, they went from house to house performing and making money for the sake of wealth.”

Officer Wang described the entire case in detail.

“According to what he’s confessed so far, when he goes around offering services, he charges 100 dollars for fortunes, but when he performs exorcisms, the price can run into the thousands. And if you buy Daoist artifacts or blessed beads, the cost is even higher!”

“He charges 200 dollars for the whole set when it comes to arranging yin spirits.”

“He provides corpses, opera troupes, and funeral supplies…”

Theft and fraud.

It involved a huge amount of money, but the key issue was the theft of corpses, which is an extremely serious offense. Coupled with his previous criminal record, he was most likely going to spend the rest of his life in prison.

Xu Yang turned back to the six yin spirits and asked, “Are you satisfied with this result?”

The six yin spirits nodded in unison.

Xu Yang thought for a moment and then asked, “Officer Wang, can you take these six yin spirits away and arrange a meeting with their families? It would be like fulfilling their last wishes.”

Officer Wang agreed without hesitation.

Xu Yang continued, “It would be best to arrange the meeting privately, otherwise it may affect the reputation of your police station. The main issue is that their cultivation is too weak to enter a place like a police station.”

Officer Wang took off his uniform and took the six yin spirits away.

About two hours later…

“Ding!”

“Congratulations, you have successfully guided the dead souls and have been rewarded: +200 merit points.”

“Ding!”

“Congratulations, you have successfully guided the dead souls and have been rewarded: +100 merit points.”

“Ding!”

“Congratulations, you have successfully guided the dead souls and have been rewarded: +100 merit points.”

“Ding…”

Six consecutive prompts provided Xu Yang with a total of 700 merit points.

Xu Yang sat in the funeral shop, revealing a faint smile when he heard the voice in his mind. This method of earning merit points was fantastic – one could simply sit at home and receive merit points from the sky. How great would it be if it could always be like this?

With no business in the shop, and since Xu Yang couldn’t see and appreciate female live-streamers dancing, he could only practice the “Heavenly Eye Skill’1 again.

Around five o’clock in the afternoon, Ma Long and his apprentice arrived.

As soon as Wang Defa saw Xu Yang, he said, “Xu Yang, today is the opening day of the Ghost Market. I want you to take Ma Long to the Ghost Market to have a look.”

“Well…”

Xu Yang said, “Elder Wang, Ma Long has an Extremely Yin Body. If he goes to the Ghost Market, won’t he be in danger?”

Wang Defa laughed, “Once he enters, the smell of burning corpse oil candles will mask your aura. At that time, Ma Long’s aura will be indistinguishable from other yin spirits, so no malevolent beings would recognize him as anything special.”

“Why doesn’t Elder Wang take Ma Long there himself?” Xu Yang asked.

Wang Defa appeared tearful as he looked into the distance and sighed, “With the tumult of heaven and earth, the revival of the spiritual aura, and the possibility of reopening the roads between yin and yang anytime, I would like to venture out in search of ways to restore my power… I entrust Ma Long to you!”

“Oh, right.”

“Pay attention, the connection between the mortal and the underworld has become closer lately. With your grandpa’s strength, he should be able to communicate with you through dreams. Please send my regards to your grandpa in your dreams!”

“Apprentice, take care of yourself and cultivate well!”

Before leaving, Old Wang took Ma Long aside and gave him several instructions.

With tears in his eyes, Ma Long asked sadly, “Master, can you not go?”

Old Wang glared at him and angrily scolded, “You scoundrel, are you trying to play tricks on your master?”

Once Old Wang left, Ma Long wiped away his tears and grinned, “Old Xu, can you tell me about the Ghost Market? What’s it like? Are there a lot of ghosts… Oh, right, did you bring back those female ghosts from the Ghost Market?”

“If it’s possible, when we go to the Ghost Market, can you help me abduct a few too… To be honest, I also want to sleep with a ghost!”
