Chapter 84 Red-clothed Fierce Ghost
After watching Zhao Li and Liu Cheng go away, Zheng Wenjie chuckled and returned to the Liu family mansion along the same route they came.

Human desires are indeed the most difficult to satisfy. Zhao Li wants his soul back, because the memories of his time as a ferryman will be gradually forgotten over time.

Unlike other ferrymen, Zhao Li is the only one who has no memory of his human period and is also constantly forgetting his memory as a ferryman.

And only those with souls can be reincarnated. As the ferryman of souls, Zhao Li would truly disappear from the world once he died, so he chose to betray Pluto and cooperate with him.

Did he covet the power of zombies just to survive? No.

The underworld controls the souls of all living beings, while the gods on Mount Kunlun look down on the human world from above. If something goes wrong, they can choose to destroy the world and start all over again.

I am not afraid of feeding on blood, I must gain strength. Ultimately, it is all to satisfy my own desires and ambitions of becoming a chess player from a chess piece.

But now there is still a sword hanging over his head, and he is still unable to fight against the great god. The ending of the original plot of "Zhuang Yue" is still a thorn in his heart.

The birth and death of countless living beings in the world are merely determined by the joy, anger, sorrow and happiness of Vairocana Tathagata. If he is dissatisfied and unhappy, the world will be destroyed. If he is pleased and happy, all your wishes will be fulfilled.

In order to remove this thorn, what he needs to do now is to increase his own strength, but Zheng Wenjie has no idea how to sublimate his own strength and break through that layer of Zhihao.

That's why they turned their attention to the underworld. As one of the three realms, if they could control the underworld, they would be able to control the souls of countless creatures. Then, even if they could not deal with the gods on Mount Kunlun, they would be able to protect themselves by hiding in the underworld.

Now it depends on how much Zhao Li can help him. Thinking silently, Zheng Wenjie returned to the Liu family mansion and told Sanjiangshui about Liu Cheng's ending. He left Sanjiangshui and Liu Lingzhi to comfort them and went to rest alone.

Early the next morning, the three of them left Longmen Town and stayed in the provincial capital for two days. Zheng Wenjie bought a few gifts at random and watched Sanjiangshui communicate with the medicinal materials merchants and carriage merchants one by one. After everything was settled, the three of them returned to Kowloon. Sanjiangshui entrusted Liu Lingzhi to Lao Jiang and then went to Guangzhou.

It took almost ten days to get back to the martial arts hall. Compared to the drab lobby last time, this one was filled with porcelain, and even the chairs were made of fine walnut wood.

"Master, you're back!" Tang Xue jumped out from the backyard and said happily.

"What are you wearing?" Zheng Wenjie looked at Tang Xue in confusion. She was wearing a yellow Taoist robe with a Yin-Yang fish pattern of Tai Chi on the front and the Bagua on the back.

"Master, you're back just in time. My lady and I are going to exorcise demons tonight." Tang Xue raised her little head.

Zheng Wenjie flicked Tang Xue's forehead and smiled as he watched her cover her forehead and cry out in pain: "Does it hurt? If you really run into a demon, the beating will be more painful than mine."

Tang Xue said unconvincedly: "That's because I haven't transformed. After I transformed, I became invulnerable to swords and guns."

"Yes, yes, yes. Then where are you going to go to exorcise demons tonight, Heavenly Master?" Zheng Wenjie sat in the main seat and patted the armrest.

Tang Xue didn't reply but slapped her forehead and said excitedly: "Oh, Master! I haven't told you yet, money! Money! I've made a fortune. HSBC has issued a statement in the newspaper, admitting that they forced the signing of the banknotes. It's more than three million Hong Kong dollars."

Zheng Wenjie raised his eyebrows calmly, not understanding why Tang Xue was so excited. It was bullshit to say that he didn't love money, but the problem was before he was bitten by Jiang Chen.

Now even if you let him sleep on gold, he will just complain about how hard it is. He wouldn't mind even if he lost all the gold.

After all, if he is willing, even the entire wealth of the future richest man Gates cannot compare to a drop in the bucket of his own. Kublai Khan can be ranked one of the six richest men in history just by burning, killing and looting.

"Okay, what are you going to do tonight?" Zheng Wenjie asked.

Tang Xue waved her Taoist robe and said pretentiously: "We are going to perform a ritual today. Madam said that she has learned the art well and wants to do good deeds to accumulate virtue."

Zheng Wenjie's face twitched, and he ignored Tang Xue who was addicted to acting and walked back to the backyard.

Seeing that Gong Ruomei didn't dress up like Tang Xue in a Taoist robe, Zheng Wenjie breathed a sigh of relief: "Tang Xue said you guys are going to subdue demons tonight?"

Gong Ruomei smiled and opened her arms to throw herself into Zheng Wenjie's arms, then raised her head and said, "Abao had already negotiated a deal at the dock, but something happened to the owner. I heard it was caused by evil spirits."

"I have almost learned all the witchcraft you brought back, and I want to try out its power."

Zheng Wenjie patted Gong Ruomei's back and said with a smile, "So soon? How about we go together tonight?"

"Okay, I'm ready. I can handle any number of monsters and demons. Just wait and see how I conquer them!"

Zheng Wenjie smiled dotingly. Gong Ruomei was still as interested in such things as ghosts and monsters. Let her do whatever she wants. With her strength and Tang Xue's help, she can do whatever she wants in Hong Kong Island.

Zheng Wenjie told Gong Ruomei about Liu Cheng's family except Zhao Li. Seeing Gong Ruomei's sympathetic look, Zheng Wenjie said, "Your martial arts school has never properly accepted a disciple. Are you willing to teach Liu Cheng's daughter the Gong family's sixty-four moves?"

Gong Ruomei shook her head: "If she has that talent, she can learn the Gong family's sixty-four moves from Sanjiangshui or me when I practice martial arts. That's her ability. As for accepting disciples, forget it."

Zheng Wenjie understood Bai Ruomei's intention and was willing to teach Liu Lingzhi the sixty-four moves of the Gong family, but he did not want to bear the relationship of master and disciple.

"Master, Madam, Li Quan is here." Tang Xue skipped to the door of the study and shouted.

"Li Quan is the owner of the cargo at the dock. He is at a loss now. I asked Zhang Tianci to pass on the message, and he regarded me as his life-saving straw." Gong Ruomei said.

"Don't you want to dress up? She wears a yellow Taoist robe, and you wear a red one? Black?" Zheng Wenjie looked at the crazy Tang Xue and then looked at Gong Ruomei and asked.

Gong Ruomei coughed dryly, her cheeks slightly red, and she glanced at Tang Xue and said unhappily, "Why don't you change your clothes? What do you look like in this outfit?"

Tang Xue was stunned for a long while before she silently let out a sigh and went back to her room to change clothes.

"No, no." Zheng Wenjie felt that something was wrong with Gong Ruomei. He pinched Gong Ruomei's cheeks with both hands and asked curiously, "Could it be that I was right?"

Gong Ruomei shook her head violently and shook off Zheng Wenjie's hand: "What are you talking about? Let me tell you first, I have prepared willow leaf water, cow's tears, copper coin magic sword, as well as Xie Wei and coffin nails, all stained with my blood. Even if I don't transform today, I will definitely be able to solve this matter."

Zheng Wenjie nodded and asked, "What if it's not a ghost?"

Gong Ruomei raised her head, coughed lightly and said, "I asked Xiaoxue to transform and take a look. There is indeed a female ghost in red in Li Quan's house."

Zheng Wenjie exclaimed: "A red-clothed ghost? I heard that if a person who died in red clothes turns into a ghost, they will be extremely fierce. Can you really handle it without transforming?"

"Of course, we have made all the preparations." Gong Ruomei spoke with confidence.

"Well, I'll go change my clothes too. Tonight we'll see how my wife subdues demons and monsters." Zheng Wenjie said with a smile, and walked quickly into the room, his eyes turning to look at Gong Ruomei's closet.

Zheng Wenjie opened the closet with a smile, and sure enough, a yellow Taoist robe of the same style as Tang Xue's was crumpled up and stuffed into the closet.

Zheng Wenjie took out his Taoist robe and turned around to see Gong Ruomei standing at the door with blushing cheeks. Zheng Wenjie raised the Taoist robe in his hand and said, "I was wondering why only Tang Xue came out to pick me up. It turns out you were hiding clothes."

"Let's go quickly. People are waiting for us at the door." Gong Ruomei hummed softly and said quickly. She turned around and pulled Tang Xue, who had taken off her Taoist robe, to hide in the front yard.

Zheng Wenjie smiled, put on his Taoist robe, and followed Gong Ruomei to the front yard.

Li Quan looked like a man in his twenties or thirties, dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He should be considered the current upper elite class, but at this moment, his eyes were dark, his lips were chapped, and he looked like he hadn't slept for several days and nights. Li Quan saw hope in Zheng Wenjie's eyes, who was dressed in a Taoist robe, and he stood up and said, "Master, you must save me."

Zheng Wenjie nodded calmly: "It's getting dark, let's go now."

"Okay, Master, please, the car is parked at the door." Li Quan said impatiently.

Zheng Wenjie nodded calmly and took Gong Ruomei and Tang Xue out of the martial arts gym. There were two cars parked in front of the gym. Li Quan respectfully opened the door and let the three get in before getting into the car behind.

Zheng Wenjie whispered to Gong Ruomei, "Why does he trust us so much?"

Gong Ruomei returned to her cold expression. When she heard Zheng Wenjie's question, she leaned her head on his shoulder and said, "I cast a spell on him to let him know that I have real abilities. But he didn't know it was me. It seems that he mistook me for you."

Zheng Wenjie nodded. No wonder Li Quan looked so fawning when he saw him wearing a Taoist robe.

By the time the car arrived at Li Quan's villa, it was gradually getting dark. Tang Xue had been in a bad mood all the way. After getting off the car, she leaned against Gong Ruomei without saying a word, and her eyes kept looking at the Taoist robe on Zheng Wenjie.

"Just wait outside. I'll call you after the problem is solved." Zheng Wenjie said indifferently after Li Quan opened the door. Then, ignoring Li Quan, Zheng Wenjie took the two of them into Li Quan's villa.

Li Quan also breathed a sigh of relief, quickly closed the door, turned around and sat back in the car, took out a pack of cigarettes, and started smoking one by one, his eyes looking at the second-floor window from time to time.

Zheng Wenjie took off his Taoist robe and put it on Gong Ruomei and said with a smile: "Okay, is there anything we don't know between husband and wife?"

Gong Ruomei lost her composure in a second. Her expression was no longer cold. She pinched the collar of her Taoist robe and said, "I just want to try to subdue demons like in storybooks."

"I want to too." Tang Xue said weakly, looking at Gong Ruomei with a depressed face.

Zheng Wenjie stretched his arms, sat on the sofa in the hall, and looked around: "Let's get started. Let's finish it early and go back to sleep. Well, we have to wear Taoist robes at night."

With blushing cheeks, Gong Ruomei took the small box from Tang Xue's hand and took out a transparent container containing a slightly reddish liquid and a fresh willow branch.

"If you rub your eyes with willow leaf water, you will be able to see ghosts without transforming. This has been tested." Gong Ruomei took out a willow branch and wiped Zheng Wenjie's eyes while speaking.

Zheng Wenjie blinked his eyes and looked around but found nothing. After Gong Ruomei and Tang Xue wiped their eyes, Gong Ruomei took out the peach wood sword and hung it on her Taoist robe, then took out a black doll and the coffin nails.

Zheng Wenjie sat up straight and asked, "What's the use of this puppet?"

"This is Xie Wei. It can be used as a container to trap ghosts inside. If you use the coffin nails to nail Xie Wei's heavenly door, the trapped ghost will fly away."

After Gong Ruomei finished speaking, she cut her fingertips and gently let a drop of blood sprinkle on Xie Wei, who immediately glowed a faint red.

Bang, bang, bang! People on the first and second floors heard the sound of glass breaking, and even the chandelier above the head was shattered to the ground.

Li Quan, who was waiting in the car, shuddered and looked nervously at the villa that was plunged into darkness.

"It's right here, let's find it floor by floor." Gong Ruomei said softly, holding up Xie Wei with a serious face and stepping onto the stairs.

Tang Xue followed behind excitedly, holding a copper coin sword in her hand.

The three of them went up to the second floor and checked room by room until they reached the innermost room. Before they could push the door, it slammed against the wall.

A sad and cold voice came from inside: "Come in~"

Zheng Wenjie narrowed his eyes. Being able to interfere with reality meant that this evil ghost was unwilling to return to the underworld to reincarnate even after the seventh day.

However, they still cannot touch the human body directly, and can only interfere with people's thoughts to make them commit suicide, or control objects to kill people.

Gong Ruomei said in a cold voice: "The Yin and Yang are separated, and humans and ghosts have different paths. Since you have become a ghost, you should understand that there are still eighteen levels of hell. Aren't you afraid that you will never be able to turn over in those eighteen levels of hell?"

After Gong Ruomei finished speaking, she let go of Xie Wei in her hand. Xie Wei emitted a black and red light and flew into the room with a whoosh. The room was instantly illuminated by the light. With a shrill scream, the light dissipated and the room returned to calm.

"Is it resolved like this? I haven't even started yet." Tang Xue looked at the copper coin sword in her hand, then looked at the room, and walked into the room depressed.

"This evil spirit is quite powerful."

Gong Ruomei shook her head: "What is recorded in the book is not that powerful, and it requires a lot of preparation. What is powerful is our blood. Not only can it save a lot of steps, but it is also very powerful."

Tang Xue took out the puppet. The originally smooth head of the puppet now showed traces of facial features.

Gong Ruomei took the puppet and raised the coffin nails to make it fly away. Tang Xue said with a pitiful face: "Miss, isn't it said that evil spirits die because of injustice? Why don't you let her out and ask her what injustice she has suffered?"

Gong Ruomei frowned unconsciously, looked at Zheng Wenjie and asked hesitantly: "Should we destroy it directly, or let it out?"

Zheng Wenjie pursed his lips, knowing that Gong Ruomei was reminded of the revenge for her father's murder by Tang Xue's words, and he felt a little empathy: "Let her out, or I'm afraid you won't be able to sleep tonight."

After Zheng Wenjie finished speaking, he stepped forward and flicked Tang Xue's forehead: "Well, if there are any problems later, it's up to you."

Tang Xue was not angry either. She nodded happily and waved the copper coin sword in her hand: "No problem! I'll take care of it later."

Gong Ruomei laughed in silence, cut her fingertip again and sprinkled the blood drop with thoughts on Xie Wei. Xie Wei instantly emitted a ball of red light and fell to the side.

A long-haired female ghost in red silk pajamas appeared before her eyes, with red spots like acne on her raised face.

"Who are you? Report any injustice you have suffered as soon as possible!" Tang Xue took two steps forward, pointed the copper coin sword at the female ghost and said excitedly.

The female ghost took two steps back, leaned against the wall, and tears and blood flowed from her eyes.

Zheng Wenjie frowned and said, "Put away your illusion and tell me what you want to say."

The female ghost awkwardly withdrew her resentment, and the tears of blood she had just shed disappeared. She knew that she could not resist these three people, and she almost died before she could get revenge. She said honestly:

"My name is Liu Tingting, I'm Li Quan's wife, and we eloped from the mainland to Hong Kong Island half a year ago."

"Li Quan was a laborer hired by my family's business. I fell in love with him at first sight, and he also said he loved me. I knew my parents would not agree that we were together, so I stole the money from home and eloped with Li Quan to Hong Kong Island to start a business."

"At first everything was fine. I even found out I was pregnant and he was very happy when I told him."

"Later, he took home a box of medicine, which he said he bought from a foreigner at a high price to preserve pregnancy."
