Chapter 41

"Throughout the ages, communicating with ghosts and gods required burning books and praying. Within writing, there is a unique power. It is said that when Cangjie created characters, it caused ghosts and gods to be terrified and blood to rain from the sky, just because the power contained within the characters is something even ghosts and gods fear incomparably."

Su Xuan spoke eloquently, explaining the method of communicating with ghosts and gods.

That was to write down the questions one wanted to ask and then burn them for the ghosts and gods.

The King of Han didn't think there was anything strange about it.

Although earlier, Su Xuan had also used the art of communicating with the netherworld once and summoned a ghost, learning from the ghost that the military pay was not hijacked by ghosts and gods, but that ghost hadn't appeared.

There was always some difference between appearing and not appearing.

Besides, as a strange man who could summon wind and rain and call gods and ghosts, it was not strange that Su Xuan could converse directly with ghosts and gods.

It was just that for ordinary people like them, wanting to converse with ghosts and gods seemed somewhat troublesome.

Although the people in the court were somewhat suspicious of Su Xuan's words, the ghost had indeed appeared.

No one knew how long the ghost would stay here.

This was the court hall, and there were people specifically recording the court session nearby; very soon, they brought silk, brush, and ink, and Zhang Kaidi wrote down some questions he wanted to ask on the silk.

Then he asked Su Xuan, "Mr. Su, what should I do next?"

"Give me the silk!" Su Xuan said.

Zhang Kaidi did as he was told.

After taking the silk, Su Xuan muttered something, seemingly performing magic, and then he threw the silk into the air. They saw the silk suddenly burn and turn into ashes.

No one knew if the ghost had received the message and seen the questions written on the silk.

Another moment passed.

No one knew who let out the exclamation.

"On the ground, everyone look at the ground..."

Everyone looked upon hearing this.

They saw that on the ground, for some unknown reason, there were many black lines, looking as if they were formed by the ashes of the burned silk; they twisted and turned, and finally, on the ground, they formed lines of text.

The text answered Zhang Kaidi's questions.

The military pay was not hijacked by them, the ghost soldiers.

The ghost soldiers, under the orders of the Immortal Master, traveled in the dark night and finally successfully found the location of the military pay. The one who seized the military pay... is the wealthy merchant of the south city, Jade Tiger!

The ghost summoned by Su Xuan had actually given a response, and the person who hijacked the military pay was really Jade Tiger.
