Chapter 84: Various Gains

"I have to go out this afternoon, so I'll have to leave the graveyard to you."

After lunch, the old cripple suddenly said this to Lin Feng.

"Hmm."

Lin Feng didn't care about this; anyway, the corpses that needed to be buried today had already been buried, and being idle was nothing more than basking in the sun or teasing the dog.

After the old cripple left, Lin Feng calculated his gains while kneading Wangcai's dog head.

"The Gluttonous Ghost ate a lot of things last night, but there is no trend of it further turning into a Disaster Ghost. It seems the difficulty of turning from a Fierce Ghost to a Disaster Ghost is not generally high."

Besides that, he harvested some corpse oil candles. The white candles had already been placed in front of the Xi Gui's tomb, just right to make a pair with the very first one.

If you flip open the *Corpse-Planting and Ghost-Raising Scripture*, you would find the two white candles placed separately in front of the nether-earth pottery bowl on the grave.

It's just that the ghost fire on the candles had turned from the original green to golden yellow. Under the illumination of this ghost fire, the originally incomparably gloomy tomb actually added some sacred flavor.

Of course, the role of these two white candles was not just to look good when placed there; more importantly, they made up for some of the Xi Gui's deficiencies.

As for what deficiencies were made up, Lin Feng couldn't feel it. After all, he wasn't a real Ghost; he only knew it was good for the Ghost.

The other two red candles were placed by Lin Feng on the Tou Gui's grave. In terms of price, these two red candles were half the price of the white candles.

But placing them in front of the Tou Gui's grave was exceptionally appropriate. First, the Tou Gui itself was a female Ghost, and because it fused with the Blood Ghost, that white mourning dress was dyed red.

This made the entire Tou Gui look no longer like a corpse, but rather like a bride waiting to be married.

At this time, the red candles were placed in front of her, and under the illumination of the golden light, the Tou Gui looked even more lifelike. Lin Feng even had the illusion that the other party was still alive when he looked at its eyes.

Well, these were all illusions; after all, it was already cold...

Next was the thirty ghost coins given to him by the food shop owner to get him to leave.

I don't know why these coins didn't have much attraction for ordinary people; instead, they were disgusting because they were inscribed with "Yinjian Ghost Coins" and had that Ghost eye on the back.

But for Ghosts, they had a near-instinctive craving, so Lin Feng simply took out some ghost coins as offerings and placed them in the nether-earth pottery bowls of several Ghosts.

Originally, he just wanted to try it; after all, the *Corpse-Planting and Ghost-Raising Scripture* didn't mention this kind of Ghost-raising item. However, unexpectedly, it actually succeeded!

Three nether-earth ghost coins were placed in the nether-earth pottery bowls in front of the Xi Gui, Tou Gui, and Puppet graves, respectively, which had a special ritualistic flavor.

"They say money can make ghosts grind flour, but according to the goat herder's memory, it should be that some Ghosts have a special craving for ghost coins. Giving them ghost coins can avoid encountering ghost disasters on one hand, and on the other, it is possible to exchange for them to take action."

"That peddler Ghost was called 'Greedy for Wealth' by the goat herder. It seems that as long as you throw a large amount of ghost coins while shouting its name, you can summon it."

Associating it with some of the goat herder's memories, Lin Feng felt he seemed to have guessed something, but when he really wanted to think deeply, he couldn't grasp anything.

Besides these things, Lin Feng also had some items obtained from the goat herder.

That fur-lined jacket was actually a Ghost, a Ghost that had been suffocated to death, only it had been forcibly fused with the goat herder's fur-lined jacket.

When necessary, it could be taken off and turned into a human-like, non-human monster. Its strength was about the same as a Fierce Ghost, not weak but not enhanced.

For Lin Feng, it didn't have much value; it could only be said to be a relatively special eerie item.

The shepherd's whip in his hand was also not a simple thing. According to the goat herder's memory, this thing was bought by him in the Ghost Market for hundreds of ghost coins.

The shepherd's whip was composed of two parts. The whip part was the hair of some kind of Ghost, which not only carried powerful eeriness but could also be lengthened, shortened, and thickened as desired.

The handle held in the hand was made of twigs from a special Ghost tree. It didn't have much special about it itself, but the material was exceptionally tough.

Finally, there was a leather pocket used by the goat herder to hold human-livestock ghost slaves. The effect was somewhat similar to a fire basin; both had their own internal space. After a living person was collected inside, they would soon die in an incomparably miserable way, eventually turning into a human-livestock ghost slave.

These things, one by one, were all quite evil eerie items, but they were all things the goat herder bought in the Ghost Market.

"Ghost Market, if there is a chance, I must go and see it again, but if I encounter that pawnshop..."

Lin Feng's eyes flickered, and he pondered silently in his heart. Half of the goat herder's life belonged to that pawnshop, but it was turned into his own Ghost by Lin Feng through the *Corpse-Planting and Ghost-Raising Scripture*.

He didn't think that pawnshop wouldn't feel anything, so he probably wouldn't easily enter the Ghost Market without any certainty.

"Woof woof~"

Suddenly, Wangcai beside Lin Feng barked toward the outside of the small courtyard, which made Lin Feng gradually come back to his senses.

"Brother Lin, your dog's ears are quite sharp; it heard me coming from far away."

After a while, Bai Yuanlong, dressed as a Yan Guard, walked into the small courtyard carrying a small jar of wine and an oil-paper bag of braised meat, saying this to Lin Feng.

"There aren't even many birds around here, so it naturally hears any movement!"

Lin Feng patted Wangcai's dog head to let it be quiet, then looked at the other party somewhat puzzled. What was the meaning of this wine and meat?

"A good brother passed away today. Hehe, in this ghost-ridden world, good people don't live long, while scourges live for a thousand years!"

Noticing Lin Feng's gaze on the things in his hand, Bai Yuanlong said this in a somewhat low tone.

"Oh, that's true. After all, good people worry about this and that, making it too hard to be a person, while bad people can be carefree."

Lin Feng nodded in agreement. He had seen some things in his previous life, so in this life, Lin Feng didn't want to toss and turn anymore.

"Forget it, come, come, let's drink!"

"By the way, where is that old cripple?"

Hearing Lin Feng's words, Bai Yuanlong was speechless for a moment. The two were essentially talking at cross-purposes and were not on the same channel at all.

So he directly put down the wine and meat in his hand and asked Lin Feng about the old cripple.

"Him? He said he had to go out for a trip. Just leave some for him!"

Smelling the aroma of the wine and the braised meat, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a bit hungry.

Although he hadn't eaten lunch long ago, how could that coarse rice compare to the oily braised meat in front of him?

"Alright then, come, let's have a toast first!"

"Drink!"

Taking out a few pottery bowls and two pairs of chopsticks, the two sat in the courtyard and began to eat.

Smelling the aroma of the meat, Wangcai squatted to the side, staring at the two without blinking, its tail wagging like a windmill.

"Your dog is quite smart; it's a good dog. Eat!"

Although Bai Yuanlong was in a low mood, seeing Wangcai's appearance, he couldn't help but smile and directly picked up a large piece of braised meat for it.

This behavior made Lin Feng somewhat surprised. In this day and age, the status of a dog was worlds apart from his previous life.

Let alone eating at the table, even if it just got close to people, not being scolded twice was considered the owner having a good temper. ===== CHAPTER 85 =====
