Chapter 22: Don't move, stand still with your hands on your head
In the villa, the other ghosts were also alarmed and ran to the door. When they saw the miserable appearance of the intestine ghost, they all trembled in fear.
So cruel.
They are even less human than ghosts.
Lin Ye stopped only when his arms felt sore from pulling. At this moment, the whole body of the intestinal ghost had become translucent and it lay there groaning.
Lin Ye did not hit the intestine ghost that fell to the ground. Instead, he raised the willow branch and pointed at the ghosts at the door. The ghosts standing at the door were pointed at by the willow branch. Under Lin Ye's gaze, they all showed ingratiating smiles.
"Everyone, stand in a row and don't move!"
Lin Ye shouted, and these ghosts quickly stood in a row. Including the intestine ghost lying on the ground, there were nine in total.
"Come out now if you are hiding in the villa, otherwise I will catch you when I get in. Don't blame me for being merciless with the willow branches in my hand."
Lin Ye shouted towards the villa, and a ghost figure walked out of a painting imitating the Qingming Mountain and River painting hanging on the wall of the hall. A figure crawled out of the large blue and white porcelain vase placed in the corner, and a female ghost crawled out of the huge 70-inch TV screen.
Lin Ye was twitching as he watched. He is really good at dodging.
"Anything else... No, if you don't tell me, once I find out, you will also be punished."
The eleven ghosts all shook their heads. Lin Ye sneered, raised the willow branch in his hand, and whipped it at the wailing intestinal ghost on the ground.
Snapped!
The willow branches made a sound, mixed with the wailing of the intestine ghosts. The eleven ghosts trembled all over and shrank their necks at the same time. The oldest one among them said with a stiff face, "Really... Really gone."
Three minutes later.
Including the intestine ghost, the twelve ghosts all squatted on the ground with their hands on their heads. Lin Ye brought a chair and sat in front of them. He kept hitting the ground with willow branches, making the ghosts tremble.
He Shan floated down from the upstairs and shook his head at Lin Ye, indicating that there were indeed no ghosts hiding in the villa. Lin Ye then said, "Tell me, why did you come to this villa?"
"I just happened to pass by here..."
"I was called here by Lao Chang..."
"Stop!"
These ghosts were talking at once, and it was noisy all of a sudden. Lin Ye immediately called a halt and pointed at the intestine ghost he had pulled out, "You speak."
The Intestine Ghost shuddered, glanced at the willow branch in Lin Ye's hand, and said quickly: "I came here while wandering around... I felt comfortable here, so I decided to live here."
Lin Ye asked several other ghosts and their answers were similar.
After all, these are some poor guys.
These ghosts were not rich when they were alive, and they did not want to stay in the cemetery because they had never lived in a villa before. After they died, they wanted to live in one. As for why they chose this villa, it was because other villas were either occupied or unfinished, and this villa was the only one in the entire community that had been renovated but no one lived in it.
Among these ghosts, the one who lived the longest was the intestine ghost. This guy was different from the other ghosts. The other ghosts died of illness, but he was the only one who was hacked to death. He was a gangster before he died. One time he walked to the street and imitated what was shown on TV, asking the melon seller if he guaranteed the melons were ripe, provoking the vendor. In the end, his intestines were stabbed out and he died on the spot from excessive bleeding.
"This villa is mine now. You should go to the underworld. There is no good ending for you if you stay in the world of the living."
After finding out that there was no problem with the feng shui of the villa, Lin Ye felt relieved and naturally sent these ghosts away.
These ghosts looked at each other, and finally looked at the intestine ghost.
"Um...I...can we not leave?"
The Intestine Ghost gritted his teeth and spoke. When he saw Lin Ye's eyes glaring, he quickly explained, "We have nowhere else to go."
"You have nowhere to go. Aren't you ghosts supposed to go to the underworld? How can you have nowhere to go? You're talking nonsense."
The intestine ghost felt aggrieved. He was a ghost to begin with, so what he said was just ghost talk.
"We have stayed in the villa for too long and have missed the time to go to the underworld..."
After listening to the Intestine Ghost's aggrieved explanation, Lin Ye finally understood what was going on.
It is true that ghosts go to the underworld after death, but there is a time limit. During the 49 days, ghosts will receive some kind of call telling them where to go. Once these 49 days are missed, the call will disappear.
"You didn't know this?"
"It was our first time being a ghost, and no one told us."
Looking at the miserable expressions of these ghosts, Lin Ye didn't know what to say. What they said really made sense. It was their first time being a ghost and they had no experience.
"It just so happens that Lao He died not long ago. You can just follow him to the underworld."
Lin Ye pointed at Lao He. Lao He was less than forty-nine days old, so he could take these ghosts to the underworld.
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Lin Ye said, He Shan shook his head and said, "No, although I can follow the summons to the underworld, every ghost goes in a different direction. Old man Wang summoned him to go in another direction. I suspect that each of us ghosts has our own way to the underworld."
Lin Ye frowned. This was different from the folk tales about ghosts he had known. Since the underworld really existed, there was no reason for anything to go wrong on this. You have to know that this has been passed down for thousands of years. It is understandable that the Taoists and monks nowadays do not have real skills, but the Taoists and monks in ancient times should have real skills and it is impossible for them to make mistakes.
What went wrong?
To be honest, Lin Ye could just drive these ghosts away. As for what these ghosts would do after leaving the villa, it had nothing to do with him. But he knew very well that once these ghosts left the villa, they could not go to the underworld and would only stay in the world of the living to harm other people.
"Lao He, take them to the backyard, and you...stay here with me."
Lin Ye pointed at the intestine ghost. This guy could reveal his form and move things. As for what to do with these ghosts, he decided to go back to the other world and ask Taoist Ding Xuan before making a decision. But before that, he had to move first.
But there weren't many things to move, just two boxes of clothes and some industrial silver. As for the home appliances he bought, he packed them all up and sold them to the master .
When the mover drove to the villa to unload the goods, he looked at the luxurious villa with a strange expression. He had moved houses for many people, but this was the first time he saw someone who rented a single apartment and moved to a villa all of a sudden.
It was a wrong decision. If he had known earlier, he should have bargained down the prices of those home appliances. For a rich man like this, it would have been easy to cut down a few hundred dollars.
In the master's mind, Lin Ye has already been defined as a rich man.
After unloading the goods, the master drove away. As soon as he got in the car, he opened their driver group and said, "I used to listen to novels written by those authors in the car, such as The Son-in-law and The Crooked-Mouth Dragon King. I thought the authors were talking nonsense. Today, I finally met the real Dragon King in reality."
…
After spending an hour putting everything away, Lin Ye lay comfortably on the big bed. Not to mention, this bed was even more comfortable than the one in his apartment. The bedroom was bigger than the ordinary three-bedroom and one-living-room apartment. The life of rich people was really enjoyable.
After enjoying for a while, Lin Ye stood up and walked to the kitchen. He placed the rice and meat he bought in the warehouse in the kitchen. Then he carried several bags of rice and some meat and crossed into the other world.
The next second after arriving in the different world, Lin Ye looked a little surprised. So many things had happened in the three days he was idle.
