I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 150 Dream Ghost (asking for monthly ticket)

"Why is there an evil spirit causing trouble in Wangshan City?"

On the way to Ma Ti Lane in the west of the city, Sang Que asked Yu Da.

Yu Da said quickly, "Wangshan City's walls and feng shui formations can indeed prevent some evil spirits from invading from outside, but as long as there are people, there will be evil spirits. Evil spirits and even evil spirits will still appear in the city for various reasons. Even Shengjing, and even the inner courtyard of the imperial palace, are not free of dirt."

Following Chen Sheng who brought the news, Sang Que and Yu Da returned to the west of the city. The Ma Ti Lane where the accident happened was near the Zhen Xie Si, and was named because the road in the lane was shaped like a horseshoe.

This area in the west of the city is close to the foot of the mountain and has a suppressing evil spirit there, so wealthier families are unwilling to live here. Therefore, the outskirts of the west of the city are all filled with poor people from Wangshan City, people who work in the lower nine trades and usually work everywhere to make a living.

When he reached the entrance of the alley, Sang Que saw two or three people standing under the eaves on the opposite side of the alley, watching from afar. Kou Yushan stood at the entrance of the alley like an iron tower, his hand on the hilt of the knife at his waist, not allowing anyone to approach.

There is a mulberry tree planted at the entrance of the alley, but no one picks the purple-red mulberries. Flying insects surround it, and some fruits fall onto the bluestone slabs on the ground, leaving large purple marks and the smell of rotten fruit.

Kou Yushan is also currently a white-collar worker. He is in a group with Chen Sheng, who is in his thirties. They are responsible for patrolling the alleys in the west of the city every day.

Yu Da did not have a fixed patrol route or a fixed mission, but everyone knew tacitly that any evil incidents among ordinary people in Wangshan City would be addressed to him first.

If there are any evil incidents involving high-ranking officials, it is not Yu Datou's turn to deal with them. There will be special people to handle them.

Sang Que and Kou Yushan nodded, but neither of them said hello.

As Yu Da walked into the alley, he asked, "Is anyone awake?"

Chen Sheng said, "No, we checked every household when we found it."

Yu Da pushed open the door of a house in the alley. As soon as they walked in, they felt a chill. Sang Que could describe it as the feeling of suddenly walking into an air-conditioned room from outside in the summer.

"I feel there are shadows on the walls of every house." Kou Yushan said in a deep voice from behind.

Since joining the Evil Suppression Bureau, Kou Yushan has learned the visualization method and can enter the Nine Netherworlds. He discovered that he is currently in the second level of the Nine Netherworlds, and the number of heart lamps is just enough to stabilize his soul in the second level.

Chen Sheng has always been a white servant. He is usually cautious and rarely comes into direct contact with evil spirits. Currently, he is still in the first level of Jiuyou and has not seen as much as Kou Yushan.

Yu Da stood in the yard and looked around, then went into the house to check on those who were sleeping, and finally led people out and visited every house.

It was almost noon when we finished checking the twenty or so households in this alley.

"Old Yu, was it a ghost in a dream?" Chen Sheng asked cautiously.

Kou Yushan also had worry in his eyes. He knew that Sang Que definitely didn't know what a dream ghost was, so he told Sang Que quietly.

"Dream ghosts are like water ghosts. They are everywhere and can pull people into horrible dreams after they fall asleep. If you die in a dream, you are dead forever. People who have nightmares for a long time or sleep in the wild without protection are more likely to encounter dream ghosts."

"Is there no way to wake up the dreamer?" Sang Que asked quietly.

Yu Da heard, "It's not that easy. People who are dragged into nightmares by ghosts can only find ways to wake up from the dream. But in nightmares, no matter if they are Taoist priests, monks, day or night travelers, or even ghost walkers and evil spirits, they will lose their own abilities, just like ordinary people."

"The strength of the dream ghost is also higher than the sixth level, unless you can find a ghost-level existence to forcibly invade the nightmare and wake you up. Oh, and there is another way, that is, people with curses on their bodies cannot be directly killed by the dream ghost before the curse is completed. It can be regarded as a way to quench thirst with poison."

In the alley, Yu Da thought for a while, "At first glance, it does look a bit like a dream ghost. Sang Er, what did you see in there?"

Sang Que couldn't tell who was at a deeper level between her and Yu Da, so she could only tell what she saw. "I saw water seeping through the walls of every house, and the water marks were all ghost faces. There were flying insects around the bodies of those who were unconscious, like flies."

"Flying insects?" Yu Da opened his eyes slightly. "I only saw water stains on the wall. It seems that your Nine Nether level is deeper than mine."

Yu Da's words made Chen Sheng look at Sang Que. He had never seen Sang Que wearing a badge before, and thought that Sang Que was a relative of Yu's family. He did not think of Sang Que as the new girl recruited by Yeyoushi.

Now, Chen Sheng looked at Sang Que with conflicting eyes filled with envy and sympathy. He envied her for being able to become a Night Patrol Envoy at such a young age, but he sympathized with her because Night Patrol Envoys didn't live long, and it was a pity that he died so young.

Yu Da also looked at Sang Que deeply. She is not crazy at such a deep level, and she is also a ghost walker who can control evil spirits. This strength should not be underestimated. No wonder He Buning took a fancy to her.

"If Sang Er said he saw a flying insect, then it wasn't a dream ghost, but another low-level evil spirit. I haven't seen it for many years. I can't remember its name, so we won't offend taboos and give it a name."

"What should we do then?" Chen Sheng asked.

Yu Dadao said, "It's easy. Go find some thorns and light a fire in every house. The smoke from the burning thorns will drive away the evil spirits and wake them up. Then have them chop the wall three times with thorns every night and curse a few threatening words before going to bed. After seven days, hang the thorns on the door and take them down after New Year's Eve. Then everything will be fine."

After giving the order, the rest was left to Kou Yushan and Chen Sheng. It was just about finding and burning thorns, so there was no need for Yu Da and Sang Que to be present.

After leaving the alley, the midday sun dispelled the chill in the alley. Yu Da rubbed his fat belly and looked around.

"I'm hungry, let's go back to the Evil Suppression Division to eat."

Sang Que was speechless. She ate so much in the morning and did nothing, but she was not hungry.

"Sang Er, if you didn't know that burning thorns could solve the situation just now, how would you solve it?"

Sang Que thought for a moment and said, "I am a ghost walker. As long as I cover the entire alley with evil fog, all the low-level evil spirits inside can be destroyed."

Yu Da snorted and laughed, "I guess that's it, Sang Er, you are just like Captain He back then, you rely too much on the power of evil spirits."

"Have you also led Captain He?" Sang Que asked curiously.

Yu Da motioned Sang Que to follow him back to the Suppression of Evils Division, and as they walked, he said, "Well, when Captain He first joined the Suppression of Evils Division six years ago, he was not like you who became a Night Ranger directly. He started out as an ordinary white servant and followed me from the beginning. When he encountered a stronger evil spirit at that time, he would just cut his arm without saying a word, spilled the blood, and burned with the Yin Fire, and solved the problem."

Sang Que nodded slightly. She still remembered that when she first met He Bhuning, she was shocked by the crisscrossing new and old scars on his arms.

"Later, there was a time when his Yin Fire got out of control and the bleeding could not be stopped. The Yin Fire burned a forest and almost burned him to death. After that, it slowly subsided."

"Whether it's Yin Fire or Evil Mist, they are all evil powers. Once used, they will backfire on you. Even if they don't explode right now, they will accumulate somewhere, waiting to take your life in one go in the future."

Sang Que subconsciously moved her right hand. Even if it was her talisman money, would it only temporarily accumulate the backlash power of Yin Tong somewhere?
"Old Yu, since you have led Captain He before, what do you think of him?"

The two chatted all the way back to Zhenxiesi for lunch.

……

Wangshan City, south of Ruyi Tower.

The sound of someone practicing their voice came from inside, and a servant put a sign with black words written on red paper at the entrance of the building.
