Shi Yingzi thought for a few seconds and finally nodded.
"Okay, I promise you, I will go back with you!"
"Very good!"
I finally succeeded in convincing Shi Yingzi, and I couldn't help feeling excited. Then I took out the list and asked her if she knew anyone else.
"These people are all members of the Yin Yang Association, I will take you to find them!"
With that said, Shi Yingzi stood up and took Zhao Hongxia and I to walk around the City of the Past.
Following this method, after half a day, I finally found all eight people on the list!
Only then did I realize that the people the Fourth Sister wanted me to look for were all the backbones of the Yin Yang Association before, but they died due to some accidents. The Fourth Sister asked me to take them back just to strengthen the power of the Yin Yang Association. !
These eight people are all very powerful, and each one wears a ring of a different color, symbolizing their respective status in the association.
Among them, there was even a powerful papermaker. According to his own words, he was too kind and mistakenly drank the poison brewed by an old witch, which led to his death.
They all have certain strengths, and now that they are together, they are an extremely powerful force in the City of the Past, and no evil ghost dares to provoke them.
Even the few ghosts we encountered retreated and took the initiative to make way for us!
In this way, eight members of the association and I swaggered out of the City of the Past, and then I took them along the route they had taken according to my memory.
There was no danger along the way. After walking all night, I finally arrived at the bus stop where I was waiting for the bus.
At this time, the ring fingers on the eight members' hands suddenly glowed and flickered.
"This is the soul-calling technique used within the association. As long as we get the induction, we can use the corpse to resurrect the soul and successfully resurrect."
After the paper miller finished speaking, he led several other members and bowed their hands to me.
"Mr. Cheng, thanks to you this time, we are able to return to the Yangshi. If there is any need in the future, we will definitely not refuse!"
I smiled and nodded: "Everyone, please go back quickly. We will have many opportunities to meet each other in the future!"
The eight association members waved to me without saying anything, and then their figures gradually faded and disappeared.
After watching several members leave, I walked under the stop sign. After dawn, I took a taxi and returned to the incense and candle shop on Xiangluo Street.
As soon as I got off the car, I saw Lonnie standing outside the door, pacing back and forth anxiously.
"Ni!"
Hearing my voice, Lonnie ran over quickly and threw herself into my arms.
"Xiao Chengzi, you are finally back!"
She grabbed my shoulders and looked left and right: "You acted on your own this time. Did it go well?"
I smiled and nodded: "It's not bad. Although I encountered some troubles, I was lucky in the end. Without your help, it would be really difficult for me!"
"This fourth sister is serious. If she makes such excessive demands again in the future, you will never agree!"
Lonnie said angrily, still resenting the fourth sister for not allowing her to accompany me.
At this time, Bai Ze and the others also came out of the store, asked me about my trip, and congratulated me on my successful return.
I was telling everyone about my adventures on the bus when a buzzing sound came from the distance and I saw a luxury car speeding by and parked outside the incense shop.
The fourth sister opened the car door and walked over to me.
"Mr. Cheng, thank you for successfully helping us bring back eight association members. Now I announce that you have officially become a senior member of the Yin and Yang Association!"
After saying that, she took out a red ring and handed it to me.
I couldn't help but remember that the paper miller from before was wearing a red wrench, which was a different color from the others.
Does this mean that red thumb rings are at a higher level than members wearing thumb rings of other colors?
"Is this senior member different from other members?"
I asked doubtfully.
The fourth sister nodded: "Yes, our Yin and Yang Association can be divided into inspection members, peripheral members, formal members, senior members according to status, and at the top, there are the vice president and president."
"You have made great achievements this time. The president personally approved you to become a senior member of the association."
After listening to the fourth sister's explanation, I finally understood. So, I jumped directly from a probationary member to a senior member second only to her and the president?
"Thank you, President, for me. Can I go see him?"
I took the opportunity to say to the fourth sister.
"Not yet."
The fourth sister directly refused: "The president is not in Fengdu at the moment. When the time comes, he will come to see you in person."
"Oh well."
I could only nod helplessly. I originally wanted to meet the president and ask him about some things about the wizards in southern Xinjiang. But now it seems that I have to continue to wait for the opportunity.
"What about them?"
I pointed at Lonnie and others again: "We are a team, you won't just let me join the Yin Yang Association, right?"
The fourth sister explained: "Mr. Cheng, don't worry, the others will also enjoy the rights of association members in the future and can act with you."
After being polite, the fourth sister straightened up and began to tell me her next goal.
"Mr. Cheng, Chen Jiu is colluding with the wizards of southern Xinjiang. I hope you can investigate their conspiracy as soon as possible. I will also ask the association to fully assist you in finding the soul refining pot fragments!"
"Okay, then it's a deal!"
I stretched out my hand, shook it with Fourth Sister, and said lightly.
In the next few days, while we continued to operate the incense and candle shop, we searched everywhere for traces of Chen Jiu.
Xiao Na, An Jing Jing, and Hu Hua Hua are all veterans of tracking people. They have found traces of Chen Jiu many times. However, Chen Jiu was extremely cunning. He found out quickly every time and got rid of our people, causing everyone to Falling short of success.
Just like that, a week later, that night, when I was about to arrange for Xiaona and the others to continue searching for Chen Jiu's whereabouts outside, a person suddenly walked in outside the store door.
She was wearing a Taoist robe and had a delicate appearance. As soon as she came in, she greeted me.
"Mr. Cheng, long time no see!"
The person who came was none other than Shi Yingzi, who I had rescued before!
Now that she is no longer in a soul state, she looks even more radiant.
"It turns out to be Miss Sakurako, what brought you here?"
I quickly stood up and asked her to sit down.
"I am here to report an important situation to you. I found traces of Chen Jiu!"
After Shi Yingzi sat down, she said to me solemnly.
"where is he?"
I asked quickly.
"It's in the Qingyang Palace in the southwest suburb of Fengdu!"
Shi Yingzi said in a deep voice.
