Volume 1 Uncle Nine's World Chapter 17: Becoming Famous
After hearing Jiale's words, the old man who fell against the wall was not afraid at all. Instead, he became even more resentful and almost turned into a ghost.
Seeing this, Jiale did not dare to delay any longer. He had already given the opportunity, and if the other party did not cherish it, there would be nothing wrong in killing him. If he really turned into a ghost, Jiale might not be able to deal with it, so he had to make a quick decision.
The old man went straight forward, trying to possess the young woman again.
Jia Le had been prepared for this, so how could he let him get his wish? With the ghost-suppressing talisman in his hand, he slapped the ghost out with his palm.
Seeing this, the old man dodged quickly, flipped over, and actually bypassed the young woman and ran towards Li Gui and the other two who were behind Jia Le.
Seeing this, Jiale sneered and followed closely without stopping. The old woman was overjoyed when she saw that he was approaching her eldest son. As long as he could possess her, she would never be easily beaten out by Jiale next time. By then, she didn't believe that Jiale would kill her son as well.
boom!
It was a good idea, but the moment he touched Li Gui, a red light suddenly appeared and bounced the old man away. Li Gui looked at the amulet in his hand that had turned into ashes, and was suddenly startled, as if he had guessed something. Big beads of sweat flowed down his face, and he was filled with fear.
After being bounced away by the amulet, the old man fell directly next to Jiale who had caught up with him.
He attacked without mercy, striking the old man on the head with a palm.
Feeling the power of the ghost-suppressing talisman, the old man felt a sense of crisis in his heart, and he suddenly shouted in despair, "No!"
Jiale turned a deaf ear to this. Those who talk too much always die. He is not Simu, who only has three tricks and will not tolerate any accidents.
boom!
Under the ghost-suppressing talisman, a burst of ghost energy surged, and the old man's ghost body was directly shattered. After all, it was just a little ghost that had just died not long ago. Even the little ghost that Jiale had met before, who had practiced for decades, would be hurt by the ghost-suppressing talisman, let alone this little ghost that hurt people out of instinct.
Under the ghost-suppressing talisman, everything turns to nothingness.
There were still ghostly auras lingering in the house, but Jia Le didn't have many ways to deal with them. To expel the ghostly auras, one either had to have a high level of cultivation to remove them directly, or one had to perform a ritual. Unfortunately, neither of the two Jia Le's were up to the mark, so they could only let the ghostly auras dissipate on their own .
Without the old man's possession, the young woman had stopped eating, but she had eaten so much that without the old man to shield her, she finally began to feel uncomfortable. Not only did she cry out in pain, she also began to vomit violently.
Jiale took a look and left the house directly. The ghost had been eliminated, but he didn't want to smell the smell.
Li Gui and the other two were still in shock. They looked at their daughter-in-law who was vomiting violently. Li Gui did not despise her and hurried forward to take care of her.
The other two brothers followed Jiale out of the house. When they looked at Jiale again, they were obviously even more awed. They were not fools. Thinking about what had just happened and seeing that their eldest sister-in-law had stopped eating, they immediately knew that Jiale had driven away their mother. With such a skill, how could they not be in awe.
"Thank you for your help, Taoist Priest."
Jia Le nodded, "As I should, as a disciple of Maoshan, I have the responsibility to exorcise demons and save all living beings from suffering. This is as it should be."
Maoshan!
The two brothers were even more shocked when they heard this. No wonder he was so powerful. It turned out that he was a disciple of Maoshan. It must be said that in Xiangzhou, the name of Maoshan is still very famous.
After a while, Li Gui came to the yard with his wife, and was about to kneel down to thank Jia Le, but Jia Le waved his hand.
"That's not necessary. Just don't use this room for the time being. There's still some ghost energy left in it. It's not good for living people to stay in it for a long time. Later, find someone to clean it up and hang this evil-repelling talisman on the door again. You can use it again after a month. As for your wife's health, it's fine, but she must have been injured. You can find a doctor to take care of her later."
Li Gui and his wife burst into tears and were filled with gratitude. "Thank you for saving my life, Taoist priest. We will never forget you in this life. Please leave your name so that we can remember it."
"I am a disciple of Mount Mao, my surname is Sun, you can just call me Taoist Sun. Now that everything is settled, I will leave now. See you later."
When Li Gui saw Jia Le was about to leave, he tried to keep him, but Jia Le was not prepared to eat for free. Seeing that he could not keep him, Li Gui could only hand his wife over to his brother and then send Jia Le out.
He reached out and took out a cloth bag from his bosom and handed it to Jiale, "This time, it is all thanks to Taoist Sun's help. Otherwise, the Li family would really be finished. This is a small gift, Taoist, please accept it."
Seeing this, Jia Le did not refuse, and in his heart he praised Li Gui for being sensible. Practitioners have to charge money for doing things, no matter how much or how little. It is not because of greed for money, but to resolve the cause and effect. You pay and I do the work, and afterwards we don't owe each other anything, and there is no other entanglement.
However, considering that Li Gui was so sensible, Jia Le still reminded him, "Your Li family has been in trouble one after another, maybe there is something wrong with the Feng Shui. But it's not urgent to check the Feng Shui. You should handle the funeral first. After the funeral, you can ask a Taoist master to help you check the Feng Shui, or I can wait for the next time I pass by and help you check it."
It’s not that Jia Le wants to earn double the money from the Li family, but Jia Le really doesn’t know how to read Feng Shui. The reason why he said he would help next time he passed by was because he was going to learn it when he returned this time. As a disciple of Maoshan, there is no reason why Simu would not know how to read Feng Shui.
However, Jiale didn't have to earn this money. If Li Gui wanted to find someone else to look at Feng Shui, Jiale wouldn't stop him.
Sure enough, Li Gui hurriedly said, "Then I will trouble you again, Taoist Sun. Please help me next time you pass by. To be honest, Taoist, I have long suspected that there is something wrong with the feng shui of my home. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many accidents one after another."
Jiale nodded, and walked away gradually under the gaze of Li Gui, the awe-struck eyes of the Li family, and the farewell of the villagers.
Not long after, a passing Maoshan disciple named Taoist Sun helped the Li family get out of trouble. Jiale began to gain fame in Xiangzhou.
On the way back, Jiale felt a lot more relaxed. After all, not only had he delivered all the corpses, but he had also solved a ghost story. For Jiale, who had just arrived, it was a great sense of accomplishment.
I took out the purse given by Li Gui and weighed it. It was really not light.
I estimated that it would cost dozens of dollars, and after counting carefully, I found that there were indeed thirty dollars in total. As expected, although catching monsters and ghosts and capturing corpses was dangerous, the rewards were also great. You should know that on this trip, when Simu went there, there were a total of sixteen dead bodies, and the deposit was thirty-two dollars. Then three of them were owed the balance, and the balance was thirty-nine dollars, which made a total of seventy-one dollars.
When he came back, there were twenty-four dead bodies, and he collected forty-eight dollars as a deposit. Then five people defaulted on the balance, so he collected fifty-seven dollars as the balance, which added up to a hundred and five dollars.
In the end, the total amount was one hundred and seventy-six dollars.
Wow, you don't know until you count. The more you count, the more shocked you will be. They actually earned one hundred and seventy-six oceans on this trip. This is too scary. However, because there were so many corpses to drive, it took a lot of time, a full forty days. Although he had to sleep in the open air, he still spent sixteen oceans along the way. In other words, the net profit of this trip was one hundred and sixty oceans.
Wow, what a lucrative industry! I originally thought that corpse-carrying is not as profitable as catching ghosts, but now it seems that’s not necessarily the case.
