Chapter 427: Why does a ghost need money?

"Which side's fierce ghost are you? Are you from the Nine Nether Sect!" Zhao Po used the fox's fake tiger's power to interrogate the drowning ghost.

The drowning ghost shook his head vigorously, emphasizing that he had no malice: "I came here purely by accident, really."

"I was originally a fisherman in the East Sea. After drowning, I was unwilling to accept it, turned into a grievance, and happened to encounter a piece of Yin Wind Stone, so I became a drowning ghost."

"The East Sea is boundless, with all kinds of creatures and schools of fish. I secretly swallowed the yang energy of various sea clans and gradually improved my cultivation, from a drowning ghost who couldn't see the sun to a Qi Refining stage drowning ghost, and had the power to protect myself."

"After protecting myself, I relaxed, wandered in the East Sea, and occasionally jumped out of the water to scare people. My courage grew bigger and bigger, and I wanted to go to the deep East Sea where I didn't dare to go before I died. Just after leaving the safe sea area, I encountered a fish king weighing one hundred catties. Its mouth opened and it almost sucked me in!"

"I saw this wouldn't work, so I hurriedly ran to the safe sea area, determined not to leave the safe sea area!"

"I cultivated slowly in the safe area, swallowed the yang energy of the fish school, and sometimes stole the offerings of fishermen."

"We fishermen have the habit of sacrificing to the East Sea. I have already drowned, which shows that sacrificing to the East Sea cannot protect me, so I boldly eat the offerings."

"Later, I don't know what realm I cultivated to, so I just cultivated with my head down, ignoring anyone. One day I met a cultivator who wanted to catch me and refine me. I easily drove him away, got his storage ring and some cultivation methods. After studying the cultivation methods, I knew that I had reached the late Foundation Establishment stage. At that time, I had been dead for two hundred years."

"After knowing the direction of cultivation, I continued to cultivate, and another eight hundred years passed. I finally cultivated to the mid Nascent Soul stage. During this period, I didn't leave the safe sea area for a single step."

"I originally planned to leave the safe sea area after the Spirit Transformation stage, but I didn't expect that someone would sneak attack me, slap me unconscious, and when I woke up, I was already in this pool of water."

Lu Yang interrupted the drowning ghost's confession: "That is to say, you don't know who brought you here?"

"Don't know."

"What characteristics does that person have?"

"Stronger than me."

"... You continue."

"After a few days, I figured out the situation. It turned out to be near Hanshui City in Huangzhou, Great Xia Dynasty, which is the westernmost part of the Central Continent, separated from the East Sea by I don't know how many tens of thousands of miles."

"I can't take a flying boat or anything in this situation, so I can only stay here."

"I inquired about the surroundings and met a couple in Bai Shui Village, the man is Liu San, the woman is Huang Zao'er, that is this person." The drowning ghost pointed to the woman lying on the side who had fallen into a coma.

"At first, they were very afraid of me, but later they saw that I had no malice, so their courage grew, and they asked me if I could create the illusion of drowning Huang Zao'er, to facilitate their insurance fraud, and they could share a portion of the compensation with me."

"At that time, I had no money and was in urgent need of money, so I agreed to them."

"With my ability, creating the illusion of drowning Huang Zao'er was very easy, and the coroner couldn't see the truth or falsehood. After obtaining the compensation, on the surface, Huang Zao'er was buried, but in reality, she was hidden here by me."

"The couple planned to leave Bai Shui Village after the wind passed and live in another city."

"But I didn't expect that now is the time of strict crackdown on ghost spirits, and the imperial court and some Corpse-Driving Sect are cooperating to specifically crack down on me."

"I didn't want to make things big, so I ran when I saw people, and if I couldn't run, I scared them away. I scared away a Jin Dan stage person a few days ago, and now four Jin Dan stage people have come!"

The drowning ghost was aggrieved. For the sake of a little compensation, he almost lost his life.

The four would not just listen to the drowning ghost's one-sided words. Lu Yang asked: "How did Huang Zao'er fall into a coma?"

"I made her faint. Living freely in the water consumes too much magic power. It's better to make her faint and put a cover on her to save effort."

"Wake her up."

"Okay."

The drowning ghost didn't dare not to obey, slightly performed magic, flicked a bright light with his index finger, and woke Huang Zao'er up.

Huang Zao'er was still dazed and didn't know what had happened, when she saw four people and one corpse surrounding her, and the pressure was astonishing.

Huang Zao'er had never seen such a posture, answered every question, and said almost the same thing. It was that the couple had evil thoughts and wanted to commit insurance fraud, so they colluded with the drowning ghost to cheat the chamber of commerce's compensation.

"That's not right either. Why does a ghost need money?" Meng Meng Jingzhou narrowed his eyes, keenly detecting the logical loophole in the drowning ghost's confession.

The yin energy of ghost objects is too heavy, which makes mortals feel uncomfortable instinctively. Ghost objects are too conspicuous, and it is very difficult to even enter the city, requiring great effort to disguise, let alone buying things on the street.

As for going to the chamber of commerce, it is even more impossible. There are cultivators in the chamber of commerce who can see through the disguise of ghost objects at a glance.

Furthermore, how much money can mortals' compensation be? Adding them up might not be enough for a few spirit stones. A dignified mid Nascent Soul stage ghost object, an existence that calls the wind and rain in the East Sea, what is this little money for?

Look at the three beautiful ghosts, Xiao Wu, Xiao Liu, and Xiao Qi, who serve door-to-door at night and don't want money for a night of hard work.

"Good courage, you still dare to lie to us!" Meng Meng Jingzhou's body ignited with Pure Yang True Fire, glaring at the drowning ghost.

"Really not, even if it's a ghost, there are places where money is needed!" The drowning ghost shouted injustice and hurriedly explained.

"Look, I am a fisherman, drowned in the sea, and have always lived in the sea. I am a sea ghost. Now I have arrived at the cold pool. Although the yin energy is enough, it is fresh water after all, and I am not used to living in it."

"I let Liu San and his wife cheat the compensation, and then spend money to buy salt and pour it into the pool water, so that the pool water can change from fresh water to salt water."

Lu Yang: "..."

Meng Meng Jingzhou: "..."

Seeing Man Gu: "..."

Zhao Po: "..."

This was the first time they heard that water ghosts were divided into sea ghosts and fresh water ghosts.

Lu Yang secretly transmitted his voice to Zhao Po: "There are many ghosts in your Huangzhou. Have you heard that water ghosts are divided into sea ghosts and fresh water ghosts?"

"Our Huangzhou is separated from the East Sea by a whole continent. This is the first time I have seen a ghost from the East Sea." Zhao Po felt that his knowledge was not enough.

Seeing Man Gu was accustomed to this, and even proud of it.

Following Brother Lu and Brother Meng, he could learn knowledge wherever he went.

The Decayed Immortal rolled on the bed, her little feet kicking back and forth, mocking Lu Yang for not having an open enough mind: "You don't have enough knowledge. You forgot the two types of first-grade Golden Cores I told you about, one is called the Three Rivers and Five Lakes Pill, and the other is called the Vast Sea Pill. The biggest difference between the two is that one uses salt water and the other uses fresh water!"

"My lord, didn't you use 'Universe in the Sleeve' to absorb the pool water? You will know as soon as you taste it!" The drowning ghost was still looking for evidence to prove that what he said was the truth.

Lu Yang asked with a dark face: "Where did the fish in the pool water go?"

"They were all salted to death." ===== CHAPTER 428 =====
