Chapter 85.1
When Chen Yu called Xiang Nan, he was outside the Imperial Capital University snack street. Chen Yu immediately went out and took an assistants car back to the university.
Chen Yu walked in from the intersection of snack street and found Xiang Nan almost effortlessly. Among the students who came out to eat snacks all over the street, Xiang Nan, who was dressed up in ancient costume, was particularly eye-catching.
Xiang Nan. Chen Yu quickly ran over.
Celestial Master Chen. Xiang Nan nodded toward Chen Yu as she ran closer.
I thought you were at the City Gods Temple. How come youre here? Chen Yu asked, Is someone in the school
No, I just came to buy midnight snacks. Xiang Nan shook his head.
Midnight snacks? Even though Chen Yu had seen a lot in the ghost world, she was still, more or less, shocked. Did the Underworld visit the world of the living to buy snacks now?
Yeah. Xiang Nan explained with a smile, Im on leave tomorrow, and Ill be going back to the Underworld later. Weiwei called me and said she suddenly wanted to eat the hot and sour noodles in front of your school and asked me to bring them back along the way.
Weiwei? Chen Yu froze for a moment, before remembering that Weiwei was the female lecherous ghost. She could not help but ask, She isnt really taking the civil service exam, right?
She is, but her mock exam results arent promising. Xiang Nan seemed to have thought of something and unconsciously laughed.
What about Xiao Kang? Chen Yu nodded and asked.
Xiao Kang has been reincarnated. He was reincarnated in a very good family, and his life will also be very smooth, Xiang Nan replied.
Thats good.
Its all thanks to you. If you hadnt asked Xiao Kangs parents to donate 500,000 in his name, the Underworld wouldnt have arranged such a good reincarnation for him because of the light of merit he carried, Xiang Nan added.
Chen Yu smiled. Thinking about asking Xiang Nan for help, she didnt dare to take credit this time. Instead, she said, By the way, dont you want to buy hot and sour noodles? Let me buy it for you to save you from finding someone to possess.
Ghost messengers couldnt appear in the world and also owned no earthly money. Therefore, if ghost messengers wanted to buy things in the world of the living, they must possess a living person, and then use the persons money to buy what they wanted to purchase. The person who was possessed was equivalent to doing the ghost messenger a favor. In his later life, the ghost messenger would compensate him if there was a chance. Otherwise, after the death of this living person, the ghost messenger would take care of him for a moment or two.
Hence, if somebody bought something unconsciously one day and woke up and didnt like it, or had no memory of it at all, then chances were he was possessed by a ghost messenger.
Then Ill be troubling you, Celestial Master Chen. Xiang Nan knew that Chen Yu had something to ask for his help, so he didnt postpone it.
Youre welcome. While walking towards the inside of the snack street, Chen Yu asked, Did Weiwei specify which one to buy? There are several restaurants in the snack street that sell hot and sour noodles.
Yes. Xiang Nan nodded and said, Weiwei said Shen Jis Hot and Sour Noodles is the most authentic.
Chen Yu went into Shen Ji and bought a bowl of hot and sour noodles, packed it up and then the two of them went inside the school, looking for a small forest that was deserted. Chen Yu grew up to adulthood, but rarely asked for help. Thus, for a moment she hesitated and didnt know how to speak.
As if seeing through Chen Yus hesitation, Xiang Nan took the initiative to speak, Celestial Master Chen, if you need my help, just say it. I will help if I can. I wont force myself if I cant help you.
When Xiang Nan said so, Chen Yu was prompted to speak more. She looked up and asked, Xiang Nan, you are a Judge now. Can you consult the Book of Life and Death?
Xiang Nans eyebrows lightly wrinkled. Although he knew that the matter that could make Chen Yu come to him wouldnt be simple, still, he didnt expect it to be related to the Book of Life and Death. Xiang Nan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: Yes.
Chen Yus eyes immediately lit up: Do you still remember the Ghost King that Qi Changming kept?
Yes, I do. How could Xiang Nan forget? In fact, after Xiang Nan became a judge, Weiwei couldnt swallow that grievance and repeatedly advised Xiang Nan. She said that when Qi Changming died, he must personally capture his soul and scare him out of his wits.
Although Qi Changmings cultivation level isnt high, the Ghost King he bred is very powerful. Chen Yu said, That day in the alley, Qi Changming was arrested, taken a trip to the police station and was also detained for a few days because of me. He was released with a grudge and sent that Ghost King to kill me.
Xiang Nan hadnt known about this matter. Now that he heard about it, his face couldnt help but turn a little gloomy. Chen Yu got into trouble with Qi Changming all because of him.
I was no match for the Ghost King and almost had an accident. It was Third Brother who saved me. Chen Yu said, The matter Ill be asking you for help this time is related to Third Brother.
Is this Third Brother also a Celestial Master like you? Xiang Nan asked.
No, Third Brother is an ordinary person, but he was born with a fiend, Chen Yu explained.
Xiang Nan had fought with that Ghost King, and even now, he couldnt guarantee that he could beat that Ghost King. However, an ordinary persons fiend actually defeated it. With this in mind, Xiang Nan suddenly had some understanding.
You should have guessed that the Third Brothers fiend is extraordinary. Chen Yu smiled bitterly.
The thing you came to me has something to do with an evil spirit? Xiang Nan asked.
Yeah. Chen Yu nodded, We have found many ways to try to resolve Third Brothers evil spirit, but the result is only a temporary solution instead of a permanent cure. But just now, to be precise, when I called you, we finally figured the way to completely resolve his evil spirit.
Something to do with the Book of Life and Death? Combined with Chen Yus words and deeds, Xiang Nan concluded.
Yes. After explaining the cause for a long time, the topic finally came to the point. When we tried to separate Third Brothers evil spirit, we revived a memory in his soul from his previous life.
A memory of his past life?Xiang Nan was surprised.
That memory said that in order to completely solve Third Brothers evil spirit, we must find six pieces of the most Yin and Evil spiritual artifacts. However, only Third Brother himself knows the whereabouts of these spiritual artifacts from his previous lives, Chen Yu finished. Her eyes gazed unblinkingly at Xiang Nan, expecting his answer.
So you want me to consult the Book of Life and Death to find out where he placed the spiritual artifacts in the first place? Xiang Nan understood from listening, but then his face was filled with a tangled look.
Cant you? Sensing his difficulty, Chen Yus voice was tinged with a fear she herself didnt detect.
