Chapter 193: Chapter 193 The Spirit i
Chapter 193 The Spirit in the Dung
The spirit realized that Ye Shaoyang was a tough opponent . It kneeled in front of him at once in a kowtow and begged for mercy .
Ye Shaoyang waved his hand and said, Why are you here? Why are you not going to the underworld?
Great sorcerer, please spare me . I am Chen Shus.h.i.+, a university student who was killed by someone three years ago, Chen Shus.h.i.+ sobbed as he said, I went to the underworld after I died, became a Spirit Labourer, and am waiting for my turn to reincarnate . Today is my death day . Sob! Sob! General Niu permitted me to enjoy the mortal world for one day . Here is my Spirit Badge .
As the spirit spoke, it thrust into its abdomen and handed a s.h.i.+ny green wooden badge to Ye Shaoyang . He sensed the Spirit Badge and returned it after verifying it .
Little Ye, how come it has a Spirit Badge when it is not a Spirit Commissioner? Xiao Ma wondered .
There are many types of Spirit Badge . Laborers in the underworld get a temporary green Spirit Badges given by the Netherworld Council to prevent sorcerers mistaking them as spirits that refuse to go to the underworld and killing them .
As Ye Shaoyang finished, he asked Chen Shus.h.i.+ for the details of his death .
Chen Shus.h.i.+ was too embarra.s.sed to answer at once . He hesitated before he replied, I was pushed into a pit latrine and drowned in the dung .
His answer left Ye Shaoyang and Xiao Ma speechless .
Why would the murderer push you into the pit latrine?
Chen Shus.h.i.+ replied, It was because of the conflict between two families . Alas, it is a long story, and the murderer has been executed . Let's not talk further about this .
Ye Shaoyang nodded, Then what were you doing in my apartment?
Chen Shus.h.i.+ replied awkwardly, I just went to receive the h.e.l.l notes from my family and smelled something stinking in your toilet when I pa.s.sed by, but I didn't know that this apartment belonged to you, great sorcerer .
Ye Shaoyang suddenly realized . He turned around and shouted angrily at Xiao Ma, Did you flush the toilet before we left?!
Xiao Ma mumbled, Errr I was peeing when you urged me to be quick, and I forgot
d.a.m.n . Forgetting to flush and cover up the toilet bowl would allow the smell of the fermented urine to attract spirits' attention . Ye Shaoyang was really amazed by what Xiao Ma had done .
"Why did you try to frighten me then?" Xiao Ma asked Chen Shus.h.i.+ sternly who had turned back his usual appearance .
"I still have time to stay in the mortal world . I tried to frighten you away because I wanted to sleep longer . I had never expected you would stay and smack me with a hand seal . I had no choice but to protect myself," Chen Shus.h.i.+ kept bowing down to Xiao Ma while explaining, "Great sorcerer, I'm so, so sorry . I hope you can forgive me . "
Ye Shaoyang believed Chen Shus.h.i.+'s words . He chose to escape after he had broken Xiao Mas hand seal instead of continuing to hurt Xiao Ma . Ye Shaoyang did not kill Chen Shus.h.i.+ because he had no intention to harm the mortal world .
Xiao Ma felt elated to be called a Great Sorcerer by Chen Shus.h.i.+ . He stood upright, smiled and waved to him, I forgive you this time . You may leave now .
Chen Shus.h.i.+ kept thanking and apologizing to the two of them . He bowed to Xiao Ma and Ye Shaoyang before he turned around and left .
Xiao Ma was fascinated with the way Chen Shus.h.i.+ addressed him . He sighed with emotion, Its so great to be a sorcerer . Even spirits show respect and try to please you--
Stop talking and flush the toilet! roared Ye Shaoyang, pulling Xiao Ma back to the reality . He quickly walked into the toilet . Previously, the toilet bowl was covered, but now, the unbearable, pungent smell evaded every part of the toilet because it was uncovered .
Xiao Ma covered his nose, flushed the toilet thrice, and opened the window to ventilate the toilet .
He was gasping for fresh air when he came back to the living room and asked, Little Ye, about Chen Shus.h.i.+, is he mad? Why would he choose to stay in such a place?
Spirits have a different sense of smell from humans . Stagnant pools of filth are their favorite . Thats why they like to hide in toilets and public baths . Chen Shus.h.i.+ drowned in a pool of dung . Of course, he would like to stay in the toilet . It is the same reason for why those who drowned in the water like to play in the water . They are fondly attached to these places, and because they are formless, the filth will not stain their bodies .
Xiao Ma nodded . He became excited again and said enthusiastically, My determination to become a Daoist has become stronger after todays incident . Though I made a small mistake, I will work harder! Little Ye, can you feel my warm blood?
I can only see chicken blood in you . Lets see how long you can sustain your enthusiasm .
Xiao Ma wanted to argue, but Ye Shaoyang stopped him, waving his hands and said, Stop arguing . Go prepare the beds and rest .
Xiao Ma took out bed sheets from the wardrobe and prepared the beds . While Ye Shaoyang rested on his bed, he watched Xiao Ma still playing with his mobile phone .
He asked, SMS with w.a.n.g Ping?
Wechat-ing! n.o.body uses SMS nowadays . Youre so old-fas.h.i.+oned .
Ye Shaoyang snorted quietly . He heard about Wechat, but he had never used it before; he did not even know how to use it and simply texted Rui Lengyu via SMS every night . He did not believe Wechat would be more convenient than SMS .
Have you won over her heart? Ye Shaoyang simply asked .
Nah, its too good to be easy, but she seems to have a good feeling for me . I have a feeling I can win her heart in time, Xiao Ma became delighted once he spoke about w.a.n.g Ping . His eyes beamed with joy .
You like her personality, her appearance, or her slim figure? Ye Shaoyang looked at Xiao Ma and asked .
I like her-- Hey! Xiao Ma growled, I like her in whole . Marrying her is my dream of life!
Ye Shaoyang scoffed .
Xiao Ma glared at Ye Shaoyang and said, Why? You think she deserves a better person?
No, I dont . I think you deserve a better one .
Xiao Ma replied furiously, Dont try to discourage me . It is my dream to be with her . Dont you have a dream?
Ye Shaoyang nodded and smiled, My dream is simple: to earn as much money as I can .
What about after you have earned a lot of money?
Save the money .
After saving that?
No more .
d.a.m.n, you are a typical miser!
You dont understand the satisfaction of earning money .
Ye Shaoyang felt proud of himself when thinking of the two hundred thousand Yuan in his bank account . After so many years of restriction by Qing Yunzi, he finally had his own account . It was so nice having such a significant amount of money in his account .
Ye Shaoyang promised himself to stop taking such risky and low paying tasks after he settled Madam Chee . He wanted to join Old Guo in checking Feng Shui for rich people and dealing with those simple spirit cases with a higher pay rate . As for the spending part, he had never thought of it .
Ye Shaoyang then chased Xiao Ma back to his bedroom and switched off the light .
As he was about to sleep, he suddenly felt something strange in his body . It affected his arms and gradually crawled up and stopped at his shoulders .
Ye Shaoyang quickly got up and switched on the light . He was shocked when he looked at his shoulders .
What are these?!
