The news that Tang Daoyi spent a lot of money to search for embroidery needles all over the city spread like wildfire.

There must be brave men under a heavy reward. Many people took desperate risks for the reward, and even deceived people to pass it off as inferior goods, but they could not escape Tang Daoyi's sharp eyes.

Just when Tang Daoyi was suffering from fruitless search, Hun Sen didn't come early or late, but he showed up at this time, which was obviously with bad intentions.

Tang Daoyi knew that Hun Sen had nothing to do and was up early, so he took out the things at this time just to get some benefits from the Tang family.

In Tang Daoyi's view, Hun Sen was living and drinking outside and not doing his job. He couldn't control it, but he couldn't cross the line, especially the bottom line of the Tang family's interests.

"Grandpa..."

No matter how much of a bastard Hun Sen is, he will naturally grovel in front of Tang Daoyi and dare not make any mistakes.

Because he knew that the Tang family was the backbone of his wanton squandering, and Tang Daoyi was indispensable as his backer.

"You've been away from home for so long, and you still think about having me as your grandpa."

Seeing Hun Sen's lack of progress, Tang Daoyi was angry and resentful. He gasped with displeasure and refused to look at him.

"Grandpa, calm down, look what I brought you?"

When he saw a box of special embroidery needles, most of the doubts on Tang Daoyi's face immediately dissipated. He stood up, took the embroidery needle, looked at it carefully, and murmured in his heart: "This needle is neither gold nor silver, nor gold. Steel is not iron, could this be the rumored 'boneless needle'?"

"If it's fake, Grandpa, I asked someone to look at it. This needle looks simple and plain, but in the hands of those cobblers, it turned out to be a huge treasure. This is what you are looking for. You won't have it." wrong."

Hun Sen decisively answered Tang Daoyi's doubts. He was originally thinking about the villa being haunted and was about to settle the score with him, but he didn't expect that Hun Sen sent him a generous gift at this time, which could be regarded as atonement for his sins. Please forgive him this time. .

"Drink less."

Tang Daoyi patted Hun Sen on the shoulder and prepared to leave. Before leaving, he made a special statement and said: "Get rid of that villa quickly. You can take care of yourself."

When Hun Sen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "I understand, grandpa."

After thinking about it, Hun Sen knew clearly that the reason Tang Daoyi did not pursue him for the incident in the villa was because he was giving himself a chance to atone for his crimes.

After getting the embroidery needle found by Hun Sen, Tang Daoyi did not dare to delay at all, and soon arrived at Yu Huo's landing place.

Although Yu Huo deliberately concealed his whereabouts, it was almost impossible to get out of the Tang family's sight in the Jianghai realm, so Tang Ruoxi quickly learned where Yu Huo was hiding.

Tang Daoyi got straight to the point and handed the found embroidery needle to Yu Huo.

When Yu Huo took over the embroidery needles, he discovered the authenticity of the embroidery needles. This box of embroidery needles was not the original lost by the master.

It's just that Yu Huo didn't expose it in person. After all, Tang Daoyi came in person this time, which shows that he is sincere and can be learned from the sun and the moon.

"In that case, I will go with you."

Yu Huo broke the rules, which surprised Wu Ya beside him. He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Yu Huo, saying: "This is fate, and the ancestor has a word in advance. It is better to give someone a ride than to build a seven-level pagoda. We can’t let people be left alone and have no place to be reincarnated.”

Having said this, Wu Ya couldn't say more, so he had to say: "In this case, I will go with you, so that I can take care of you."

Wu Ya is a brother, so Yu Huo naturally knows about his friendship.

However, Yu Huo knew that sewing corpses was a business that added blood to the knife's edge, and making money from dead people cost one's life, so he did not want Wu Ya to take this risk with him.

Patting Wu Ya on the shoulder, he said, "Brother, just wait at home. I should have a place to stay when I come back after finishing my work."

Needless to say, Wu Ya knew what Yu Huo meant, so he said nothing and watched as Yu Huo got into Tang Ruoxi's Lamborghini.

Arriving at the Tang family, the Tang family set up a mourning hall and prepared to hold a banquet to send Tang Ruoya on her last journey.

Originally this was an ordinary funeral, but the fact that Tang Ruoya did not commit suicide prevented the Tang family from allowing Tang Ruoya to be buried unjustly. This was disrespectful to the deceased and conniving at the murderer.

Everyone in the Tang family was in panic. As the backbone of the Tang family, Tang Daoyi naturally needed to stabilize his military morale at this time. The appearance of Yu Huo made him finally feel relieved.

Before that, although Tang Daoyi had not witnessed the haunting of the villa with his own eyes, he learned something about Yu Huo's abilities and abilities from Tang Ruoxi's mouth.

Tang Ruoya's coffin has been lying around for many days, and she should have chosen an auspicious day to bury her as soon as possible. This shows how much pressure Tang Daoyi is under.

"Mr. Yu, thank God you are finally here."

Yu Huo responded politely to Tang Daoyi's enthusiasm, and then came to Tang Ruoya's coffin. He suddenly felt that Yin Qi was surrounding the coffin. This was because the ghosts of the deceased were still around, and the ghosts were difficult to deal with.

Yu Huo took a breath of cold air, turned to Tang Daoyi, and said unceremoniously: "Master Thief, my ancestor has spoken first. If you enter the palace the second time you enter the palace, the money for the incense will be doubled."

"As long as you are willing to take action, it all depends on your price."

At this time, Tang Daoyi didn't care about the incense money at all. As long as he could find the murderer of his granddaughter, he would not hesitate to sacrifice all his wealth and life. Moreover, the Tang family was currently unstable, and he needed someone to step in for him. eliminate this crisis.

"Then let's get started."

"Wait!"

Using people's money to eliminate disasters for others, Yu Huo was originally planning to show off his skills, but he didn't want to hear an extremely discordant voice emerge from the crowd. This person was none other than Hun Sen.

Hun Sen swaggered over with an arrogant look on his face, Liu Wusheng followed behind him, glaring at Yu Huo with contempt on his face, as if he was tit for tat.

"Asen, have you drunk too much? Don't act nonsense."

Tang Daoyi knew his nephew's urine properties very well. Hun Sen knew what he was going to poop as soon as he stuck his butt out, and it was for no other reason than making trouble.

"Grandpa, I didn't drink. I'm very sober now. I just say one thing and I'll leave after that."

Hun Sen was messing around, and Tang Daoyi had no choice but to let him fart after he finished speaking.

I saw Hun Sen pointing at Yu Huo's nose and saying: "Boy, are you addicted to cheating money? You said that my cousin did not commit suicide but committed suicide. The police said it was suicide. The Yin Yang Feng Shui master also looked at it and saw no clues. , it depends on what you use to justify it."

"No one is a saint, and the police sometimes make misjudgments. Onmyoji can only read Feng Shui and cannot solve cases."

Facing Hun Sen's provocation, Yu Huo said disdainfully, which completely angered Hun Sen. He said angrily with an ugly face: "Well, since you are so capable, do you dare to bet with me?"

Hun Sen was aggressive and seemed to be prepared, and Liu Wusheng behind him was Hun Sen's trump card to deliberately seek trouble.

"I'm not a gambler. I just want to requiem the deceased so that the deceased can be more dignified. That's all."

"What? You can't afford to lose?"

Yu Huo was calm and smiled without saying a word, which made Hun Sen very unhappy and kept chattering.

Seeing this, Liu Wusheng hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Mr. Yu, I am a fellow-traveler, and to be honest with you, the demons are dancing around, the gods are apologizing, and I have invited all the people I should have invited, without any problem."

"Yeah?"

Yu Huo was somewhat suspicious of the so-called 'half-immortal' Liu Wusheng in front of him. After all, most people would not dare to take this arrogant title without a few brushes.

Seeing that Liu Wusheng was so determined, Yu Huo came up with a plan, and turned to Tang Daoyi and said: "Master Robber, it's rare to be busy today, why not give the eldest lady a vigorous ritual. Mr. Liu and I will each set up an altar for the eldest lady. How about seeing me off, young lady?"

As soon as Yu Huo said this, there was an uproar, but Hun Sen and Liu Wusheng were overjoyed, thinking that they could take this opportunity to make Yu Huo embarrassed in public.

"What about this? It depends on... whether Mr. Liu is willing."

Yu Huo's proposal, for Tang Daoyi, brings good things in pairs. It can save Tang Ruoya's soul, which he, as a grandfather, naturally wishes for.

"Master Thief, that's what I mean."

Liu Wusheng was so confident that he didn't take Yu Huo seriously at all, and besides, his title of 'Liu Banxian' was not something he could get away with.

Soon, there were two altars placed around Tang Ruoya's coffin, in a tit-for-tat manner.

On the altar, there are also white rice, white thread, and live chickens. These props are used to summon spirits.

White rice is used to grab souls, white thread is used to attract souls, and live chickens are naturally used to attract souls. It can be seen that Yu Huo and Liu Wusheng's moves come from the same lineage, and there is nothing new or fancy.

However, there was one big difference between the two, that was, while Liu Wusheng used the soul-summoning pan, he also held a soul-summoning bell in his hand, while Yu Huo was not prepared for either of these things.

This made Liu Wusheng feel embarrassed, thinking to himself that Yu Huo didn't have these two tools, how could he attract the dead souls, and how could he talk to the dead souls?

Liu Wusheng glanced back at Hun Sen beside him, and when he saw Hun Sen giving him a thumbs up, he closed his eyes with satisfaction and muttered something in a pretentious tone.

"Three souls turn back to protect people's lives, and courage turns back to protect safety..."

Seeing that Liu Wusheng had the upper hand, everyone was sweating for Yu Huo, but they saw Yu Huo working around the altar in a leisurely manner.

A large table was brought in for a while, and a chair was brought in a while, and they were placed in five directions in the east, northwest, middle and northwest of the altar. Incense burners, red envelopes, wine glasses and other props were also placed on the altar.

This move can be said to establish the positions of the Eastern Qing Emperor for benevolence and virtue, the Southern Red Emperor for righteousness and virtue, the Western White Emperor for courtesy and virtue, the northern Black Emperor for wisdom and virtue, and the central Yellow Emperor for faith and virtue, and invite the gods to return to their places.

After everything was ready, Yu Huo held up a black umbrella in front of the altar to hide the sky from outsiders.

"I follow the order of Duke Wen to attract the souls of the dead. The connections will open on their own, and the locks will release on their own. If they are not opened and cannot be released, the divine pestle will be chopped off!"

As soon as the remaining fire ritual came out, I saw a gust of wind blowing by, but the coffin was motionless, and nothing strange happened.

Liu Wusheng continued to play with the soul-summoning pan and shake the soul-summoning bell, but there was no surprise either.

"The stars have changed, and the wrath of the gods..."

"Changing flowers and replacing trees, a hundred ghosts walk in the night..."

"Invite the gods, mobilize the heavenly soldiers, use incense and bright lights to lead the way to the corpse..."

"The world is shocked, ghosts and gods weep, and the wronged ghosts haunt the mortal world..."

The two of them competed with each other in a battle of wits and courage, but in the eyes of everyone, it was nothing more than a routine ritual without much to watch.

Seeing that Liu Wusheng was going to be silent, he drew out the mahogany sword that he had prepared long ago and rushed in the middle of the coffin. If this was a performance stage, then this would be the center of the stage in the eyes of the audience.

Liu Wusheng began to dance vigorously with his sword, just to attract everyone's attention and applause, completely ignoring the fact that some people called him a clown.

Yu Huo remained indifferent. Under the cover of the black umbrella, no one knew what he was doing, because the umbrella completely blocked everyone's sight.

"Yin and Yang are divided into two paths. Humans and ghosts end up in different paths. Humans know that ghosts are scary, and ghosts know that the human heart is poisonous... People are three points afraid of ghosts, and ghosts are seven points afraid of people. The deep sea of ​​thousands of miles will eventually have a bottom, and the human heart cannot be touched within five inches... Humans and ghosts empathize !”

After Yu Huo finished speaking, suddenly!

The black umbrella was overturned, and two silver needles held between the index and middle fingers of his right hand flew out, passed through Tang Ruoya's coffin, and were nailed to the spring holes of Tang Ruoya's legs.

For a moment, everyone thought that Yu Huo was trying to make people feel unfathomable. After all, in this technological era, no one believed in the theory of ghosts and gods anymore, and power should be the last struggle of superstitious activities.

But what happened next made everyone present feel suffocated and depressed.

Silence, the scene was eerily quiet!

Tang Ruoya's coffin was seen shaking a few times, the coffin cover was suddenly lifted, and a woman sat up from the coffin. This person was none other than the dead Tang Ruoya.

Seeing the dead resurrected, everyone was so frightened that they panicked and ran away in all directions.

Then the disheveled Tang Ruoya twisted her head, and her limbs began to twist irregularly a few times. While twisting, you could clearly hear the "click...click" sound of the joints.

Could it be that...this is the rumored 'joint exercise'?
