Chapter 42: Being Targeted?
As the four of them, including Lin Feng, carried this black coffin to the dug grave pit, the black coffin became heavier and heavier.
"Everyone, exert more strength, we're almost there!"
In the end, Lin Feng stopped pretending. Hearing the blind old man's words, he directly let the Puppet Ghost possess him, and then directly used the power of this ghost to forcibly make the corpse in the coffin settle down.
"The auspicious time has arrived, lower the coffin!"
Then, everyone felt the pressure on their shoulders relax instantly. The blind old man hurriedly spoke.
Then the black coffin was lowered and placed in the grave pit by the four of them, and then Lin Feng picked up a hoe and filled the soil with them nimbly.
This time, with the Puppet Ghost suppressing it, the black coffin didn't make any more movements, which made the others feel greatly relieved.
Soon, the burial ceremony was completed, the tombstone was placed, and everything was already finished.
"Little brother, this time it's all thanks to you!"
The blind old man looked at Lin Feng with slight gratitude, and the other two also cupped their hands to him. No matter what, if Lin Feng hadn't taken action at the end, I'm afraid there would have been twists and turns in the middle.
"Where, where, it's all as it should be!"
Just as Lin Feng and they were exchanging pleasantries, on the other side, several Divine Catchers from the capital who were still watching in the cemetery also began to talk to each other.
"I didn't expect that there would be such ability among the small grave diggers in this Luohe City."
"Not bad, the way that person used ghostly power just now was truly clever. If it weren't for my Ghost Eye being the best at peeking into various Guiyi, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to discover it!"
"A big ghost, and it's a suppression-type big ghost. Being able to drive such a ghost is not simple. Does this grave digger have any background?"
Suddenly, a cold-faced female Gold-badge Divine Catcher asked the others beside her.
"This person should not be under the Luohe City Ghost Suppression Division. I haven't seen him on the roster."
A Silver-badge Divine Catcher beside her responded like this.
"Oh, that's interesting?"
This woman's eyes flickered. Having ability but not belonging to the Ghost Suppression Division, yet being able to be called over by people from the Ghost Suppression Division, this was already enough to explain some things.
"Go and check his background. If there's no problem, let him come under my command to work!"
"Now is an eventful time, when people are needed, there's no need to be too particular!"
Then she gave the order directly to the people beside her, and the others nodded and agreed one after another.
Lin Feng didn't know yet that he had been taken a fancy to by others. After simply exchanging pleasantries with the grave diggers beside him, he walked directly toward the outside of the cemetery.
Like last time, they still received their rewards from Bai Yuanlong here. This time, Lin Feng didn't want those ghost objects, but asked for fifty taels of silver.
Such a choice made the blind old man almost jump up. In his view, Lin Feng was a person with ability, how could he leave the good ghost objects and want those silver taels?
If it were for this kind of thing, he could just show a hand in front of any rich household and be treated as an honored guest, and in the end, he would have silver if he wanted silver, and people if he wanted people...
"Little brother, you made a mistake this time. How can silver compare to the good things of the Ghost Suppression Division? If you are short of money, just tell me!"
"If you are willing to exchange ghost objects, I still have some family wealth..."
Lin Feng was stunned by the blind old man, but this guy was really not polite.
"Next time, next time!"
In the end, Lin Feng ran away hurriedly and walked directly toward Li Erniu and Zhang Dazhuang.
Dealing with these people who possessed ghostly power was indeed not as comfortable as dealing with ordinary people!
"Brother Lin, was the work difficult to do this time?"
Seeing Lin Feng walking over with a depressed face, Li Erniu and Zhang Dazhuang immediately asked him.
"Nothing, just a bit annoyed. Do you two know if there is a shop selling quilts in this city?"
Lin Feng shook his head and then asked them.
"Yes, this is simple. On the way back, we'll just take a detour!"
"Good, thanks for your trouble!"
Lin Feng sat on the donkey cart and thanked them, then Zhang Dazhuang raised his whip and drove the donkey cart away from here.
Not long after Lin Feng left, the Divine Catchers from the capital began to investigate his relevant files. The information they found made their eyes widen directly.
"Reporting to My Lord, that grave digger is a beggar who fled from Lingzhou a month ago. Later, he was selected by the Funeral Division to be a gravekeeper. His specific background is still unknown."
Sitting in the yamen of the Ghost Suppression Division, Li Yanbing looked cold. Hearing the subordinate's report, a sneer curled at the corner of her mouth.
"Such a person was actually thrown into the Funeral Division to be a gravekeeper?"
"Yes, My Lord. I think this person should be unwilling to expose his background, or perhaps he is a spy."
This Divine Catcher didn't think that a normal ghost-driver would be willing to stay in a dilapidated graveyard and honestly bury people and guard the grave.
"It seems that the Luohe City government office is rotten enough. It's one thing to have only a few small cats and dogs, but even these places have been infiltrated!"
Li Yanbing frowned. This time she came with an imperial edict, but when she arrived here, she found that the situation was even worse than she had expected.
In the Ghost Suppression Division, there were only three Silver-badge Divine Catchers who could still act, and ordinary catchers were less than half. As for Gold-badge Divine Catchers, there was not a single one.
As for Su Xiao, the master-level expert, he had to stay in the Ghost Prison for a long time to suppress the ghostly power because of the erosion of ghostly power.
"My Lord, what should we do? Should we take him down directly?"
Then, this Divine Catcher asked Li Yanbing like this.
"No, no need to take action. First send someone to see the situation. Since this person dares to be a grave digger in the Ghost Suppression Division, either he has another purpose, or he really doesn't know."
"Now, dealing with that 'Great Sage Equaling Heaven' is the priority. This person has cooperated with the Ghost Suppression Division before, and his strength is not to be underestimated. Such a person must be won over!"
Li Yanbing didn't agree with this Divine Catcher's opinion. Causing extra trouble and twists and turns for no reason was not something the current Ghost Suppression Division could afford to toss.
"Tonight, let that Silver-badge Divine Catcher Li Songcheng lead the way. I want to pay a visit to this expert!"
"Understood!"
Then, Li Yanbing made a decision. Ever since she learned about this from Su Xiao, this matter had been regarded as the first priority.
Although the senior's request was a bit strange, that he could only be seen at night, it didn't matter.
After all, so-called experts always had to have some places that were ordinary and different from ordinary people.
Time flowed, and Lin Feng returned to the Ding-character graveyard on the donkey cart with the quilts he bought, then tidied up his bed properly.
Now he finally didn't have to sleep on the short couch that was like a floor at night.
"Hehe, add a cabinet tomorrow, and in the future, get some books to read. Hmm, there are also many tea shops in the city, I should look for some good tea..."
Lying on the bed, Lin Feng gradually laughed out loud. He had to enjoy the dreams he didn't realize in his previous life properly in this life.
However, he had never had any great ambitions. Being able to eat and drink enough and live a quiet life was already infinitely satisfying. ===== CHAPTER 43 =====
