Chapter 18 - Yin-Yang Eight Trigram Formation

[This old ghost asked me to come and get the incense. Does that mean that the evil ghost outside is actually Jiang Tai Sheng?]

But why did he persecute Jiang Family to such an extent?

Isn't that his descendant? Could it be that he was forced to do the same as Jiang Yan?

But that's not right, judging from the position of the memorial tablet, he should be the ancestor of the Jiang Family, which is to say, the founder.

Then even if he did die, who dared to disrespect him and persecute him to this extent?

”Only someone as foolish as you would still be unable to see anything.” Chu Yu rarely said a very long period of words, which contained no lack of contempt.

”Hehe …” I laughed awkwardly.

He comforted himself with the thought, forget it, he had already lived for who knows how many years. No, he had already died for god knows how many years. Why would such an old ghost bother with him? Be magnanimous, be magnanimous …

He recited it countless times before suppressing the anger in his heart. He then asked with a shy face, ”Lord Ghost, please tell me about it.”

”Don't laugh, the fake smile on your face is so ugly that it's on the verge of death.”

”Er —” My fawning smile stiffened on my face.

Do you have to be so direct?

Besides, if you weren't too strong, would there be a need for me to smile in return?

Fortunately, State Ghost showed mercy this time and said: ”When I just entered, I felt that the aura of that evil ghost was extremely similar to that of the Jiang Family Lord. Adding on to that the age of the evil ghost, it is not hard to infer that he is the highest ranking.”

”Is that so?” Why didn't I notice?

Was it because he hadn't died that long ago?

Wrong again. I'm not dead yet. Seriously, I've been with this old fogey for so long that I almost think of myself as a ghost.

”Hurry up and take the ashes. Otherwise, those people in front of us won't even have a chance to leave a complete corpse behind.”

”Oh — yes, yes, hurry, hurry.” I took the cinders and ran without even asking him what he wanted them for.

As for why I was so obedient and why I ran so fast, it wasn't because I wanted to help the people in front collect the corpses, but because I also wanted a share.

If he didn't come in, then that would be fine, after all, I didn't do anything, but now that we've all come in and gone through some life and death situations, what if I don't go deal with that evil ghost?

Becoming a mortician was also a very tiring job — —

You can't make much money.

Those who could enter the mortician were all wealthy families. Ordinary families would die just like that, and some even went as far as burying their corpses without having the money to invite the mortician over.

So, you really can't get much business in a year --

Of course, in our industry, there is a saying, ”Three years without opening, three years without opening.”

If we were to meet such a particularly generous family, it might be enough for us to eat for a few years.

However, I have never met such a generous family …

In today's society, it was not easy to mix in in all walks of life, especially in the mortician.

Why?

If your battle prowess is lacking, then it's still alright to meet someone who knows how to do things. However, if you meet someone who doesn't, then they might think you're a godly person.

He did not care that much about the dead, unlike in the ancient times, when the dead were used to living. According to his master, in his generation, the business of mortician was very popular.
