Gu Yueyue helped Yin Yu, who was trembling all over, up from the ground.
The two were so frightened they couldn't speak. Who the hell could stand this?
Even if you see a ghost in broad daylight, at least you can see it!
"Enough with the pleasantries. As you all know, I charge by the hour. Now I'll start the timer."
"You can also use your phones to time it, so it won't be difficult to settle the accounts later."
Gu Yueyue's trembling hands reached for her phone, but she couldn't unlock it despite pressing the buttons several times. Finally, Yin Yu couldn't stand it anymore and snatched the phone away to unlock it.
On the screen is a little girl, a little girl on stage, sweating profusely as she dances.
'Huh'
When Gu Yueyue saw Xu Yi's photo on her phone's screen saver, her fear vanished instantly, replaced by shame.
Is your surname Gu?
In broad daylight, you can't see anyone, but you can hear an ethereal voice, like a greeting drifting from a deep abyss, which can truly terrify a person.
Gu Yueyue, whose name was called, suppressed the fear that made her want to slide to her knees and nodded blankly.
"Yes, my surname is Gu. Do you recognize me, Celestial Master?"
"Oh. We don't know each other yet, but we will in the future."
What does that mean?
Gu Yueyue felt that there was another meaning behind those words, but she didn't have time to think about it, so she suppressed her doubts.
Fortunately, the Taoist priest didn't say anything more.
"Let's get down to business first, without further ado."
"Okay, okay!" Yin Yu was afraid, but when she thought about the VIP membership she had spent so much money to buy, her fear was suppressed.
Perhaps it was because the Celestial Master's divine sense had been there for a while, Gu Yueyue found herself vaguely able to sense a transparent outline moving around here.
The Celestial Master seemed to be standing in front of that door, unraveling the Luban lock.
Gu Yueyue wanted to go over and take a look, but Yin Yu grabbed her arm.
Yin Yu turned pale and asked her in great fear, "What do you want to do? Are you possessed?"
"No. The Celestial Master seems to be unlocking something, and I want to go take a look."
Yin Yu tried to stop her.
"It's alright, it's safe here. Feel free to come and visit."
Driven by curiosity, Gu Yueyue went over. Yin Yu was afraid that something might happen to her, so even though she was afraid, she pressed her half of her body against Gu Yueyue and moved closer together.
"This is a bit troublesome. Not only is it imbued with yin energy, but it's also tainted with demonic energy, which amplifies a person's desires. Demons are inherently evil, always favoring extremes. I really hate demons, as do my senior sister, my master, and of course, my junior sister. But there's nothing I can do if my junior sister doesn't like them; she was born that way. Sigh, if it weren't for my master..."
The unlocking took eight minutes, during which Master Xu Liang spoke for a full eight minutes without missing a single second.
Gu Yueyue and Yin Yu went from being scared at first, to gradually calming down, and then silently sending messages on their phones to complain.
Yin: The Celestial Master is quite talkative?
Gu: Perhaps all great people are a little different from others?
Yin: I heard that Master Xu Liang is quite aloof. He doesn't usually pay much attention to people.
Gu: Maybe it's because you're a VIP?
"Because I'm currently in a state of spiritual awareness, whatever I think easily slips out. If my body were physically present, I could certainly control it accurately. In your modern terms, I'd call it being a 'closet pervert,' it's part of my personality."
"..."
I could actually detect a hint of arrogance and pride in her tone.
The lock is open.
Gu Yueyue walked closer to take a look.
Yin Yu: "Hey! Yueyue? Gu Yueyue! What are you doing?"
Gu Yueyue reached out and touched the door lock, her eyes filled with longing and affection, as if she were caressing a lover's face, her brows and eyes brimming with tenderness.
"Master! What's wrong with her?" Yin Yu shouted anxiously at the air.
"Her soul was affected by demonic energy, but it's nothing serious, she'll be fine in a while. Keep an eye on her, she might become a bit violent later."
Once Yin Yu felt relieved, she couldn't help but wonder what Gu Yueyue would be like if she became violent.
Before she could think it over, the Celestial Master told her to take Gu Yueyue inside.
As Yin Yu led Gu Yueyue into the courtyard, she felt a chill on her eyelids.
She closed her eyes uncomfortably, and when she opened them again, before she could even see the situation clearly, she heard a piercing scream.
It was posted by Gu Yueyue.
After Gu Yueyue entered, she naturally didn't need Xu Liang to cast any spells. Like Yin Yu, she could now see the situation in the courtyard clearly.
The table was full of guests, eating and drinking, and there were festive decorations all around, making it a lively scene.
If you ignore the people's pale, grayish-blue skin and the two coffins in the courtyard.
Upon hearing Gu Yueyue's screams, Yin Yu rushed to take care of her, only to find Gu Yueyue covering her eyes and shrinking into her arms.
Yin Yu was forced to see her surroundings clearly. She shuddered in fright and tried to shrink into Gu Yueyue's arms, but it was too late.
"Oh... Celestial Master? Are you still there?"
"Here. Don't be afraid, it's just a wandering spirit, not even a ghost. Follow me boldly."
Yin Yu stammered, "Master, where...are you? How can I follow you?"
"Ahem, Miss Gu knows. Have her take you away."
Although Gu Yueyue was scared, she still listened intently to their conversation while nestled in Yin Yu's arms. The main reason was that the ethereal voice was so captivating; it didn't just seem to be ringing in her ears, but rather appeared directly in her brain, making it impossible for Gu Yueyue to ignore it.
“Okay. I…I’ll lead the way.” Gu Yueyue was just relying on her intuition; she didn’t know why she could sense the presence of this Celestial Master’s divine consciousness.
Maybe my sixth sense is just too good.
Bypassing the 'guests' in the courtyard, Gu Yueyue led Yin Yu, following that mysterious feeling, through the long corridor, and then to the backyard.
"here--"
Yin Yu was taken aback. When she came here to investigate before, she had never seen that there was a backyard.
"There should be something underground, but I'm not sure what it is yet. However, it doesn't seem to have much energy. I'll give you a few options; please choose one."
"Huh?" Gu Yueyue was a little stunned. "Let us choose?"
"Hmm. A conservative approach: use talismans and formations to suppress it. Guarantee no further incidents for at least a hundred years. A more lenient approach: I'll help you resolve the issue of those trapped here, and also dispel the yin and demonic energy, plus give you a few protective talismans. As long as you don't stay here for long, there won't be any problems. A more aggressive approach: I'll completely dispose of everything here, making it vanish into thin air."
"Think about it and choose which one."
"The prices are different. They are ten million, five million, and fifty-nine million and eighty thousand respectively. Since you are my VIP customer, Ms. Yin, I can give you a 2% discount."
"And considering my connection with Miss Gu, I can round down the price for you."
Yin Yu and Gu Yueyue exchanged a glance. As expected of two people from the same team, they could see through each other's thoughts with just a look.
With tears welling in their eyes, the two clasped hands tightly and said firmly, "We'll choose the radical approach!"
Okay, we'll process it for you right away.
A gust of wind rose from the courtyard.
It was the same woman Zhao Yuan had referred to as Professor Qi. She appeared again, dressed in festive clothes, her smile somewhat stiff.
'She's been possessed, but not fundamentally; there's hope.'
"Do you charge a fee?" Yin Yu gripped her phone tightly in her pocket; she was really on the verge of bankruptcy!
"Saving lives is free; your government even reimburses it. How wonderful! You're living in a great era."
"..."
This was the first time the two of them had encountered such a benefit, and of course they didn't want to encounter it again in the future. No matter how good the benefit is, you have to be lucky enough to enjoy it.
The wedding procession, accompanied by music and fanfare, hovered above the ground as it made its way here in a lively and bustling manner.
Two large red and white sedan chairs, and a man riding a white paper horse, wearing a round hat, were at the front of the procession.
'Wow, you want to marry two at once? What kind of dream is that?'
Yin Yu and Gu Yueyue were so frightened that they wanted to dig a hole in the ground to hide, while the Taoist priest was quite interested and watched the show.
"Master, what should we do?" Gu Yueyue asked in a low voice, afraid of disturbing the wedding procession.
'What's there to be afraid of? As the saying goes, it's easy to invite a god but hard to send him away; for me, it's easy to have them invite guests but hard to send them away.'
'Find a place to sit down and enjoy the feast!'
The two were scared.
The big shots don't understand this kind of fear.
Gu Yueyue sighed softly, found a place to sit down. She was afraid, but the matter was now in front of her, and she had to deal with it. She couldn't keep running away and backing down just because she was afraid.
Yin Yu was also afraid, but considering her VIP status, she felt relieved.
The bridal sedan chair landed in the courtyard, and the groom dismounted from his horse and lifted the curtain of the red sedan chair.
Yin Yu didn't dare to look, afraid there might be something terrifying inside, so she turned her head away when she opened it.
Gu Yueyue exclaimed softly, "It's Han Muzhou!"
Startled by the sound, Yin Yu quickly looked over and saw that it really was Han Muzhou, bound like a rice dumpling with red rope, seemingly unconscious inside the sedan chair.
Yin Yu had promised Zhouzhou's girlfriend that she would only borrow Zhouzhou for a short while and would absolutely not do anything reckless, much less let her cause any scandals.
But in this situation, let alone gossip and scandals, it seems she has completely captivated little Zhouzhou, even throwing a wedding in his face.
'Interesting. That little girl is quite pretty; this evil creature has good taste...'
A maid with a stiff smile on her face helped Han Muzhou out of the sedan chair.
The groom then went to another white sedan chair and lifted the curtain.
When Gu Yueyue saw who was inside, she was so shocked that she stood up.
