Of course, it cannot be ruled out that it is because Wang Hu is not particularly familiar with us yet. So I'm a little cautious and can't let my hands and feet go.
As a weak ghost, he must be afraid of practitioners like me and Lao Cao.
Well……
Well, I shamelessly juxtapose myself with Lao Cao. Actually, I'm not even close!
But even someone with my current strength is still extremely powerful to Wang Hu.
I smiled and patted his shoulder and said.
"Brother Wang, Lao Cao and I are both very kind people, righteous practitioners with upright roots. You can just get along with us normally when you are alive."
Lao Cao also said casually: "Yes, if we met in life. Even if I were your boss, I would definitely not be so reserved, right?"
Wang Hu nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.
"Good brother Wu, good boss."
After solving this matter, I had time to talk to Lao Cao in detail about asking Li Miao to go to the Sichuan River to retrieve corpses tonight.
Lao Cao's face changed slightly when he heard the thrilling part.
After I finished everything, he frowned and sighed.
"It seems that there have been more and more troubles in Two Rivers Town in recent years. Just as you and Brother Li speculated, I also think these things are related. The good thing is , as long as one of them has a breakthrough point, there should be clues to solve the rest."
I think what Lao Cao said makes sense, but the problem is...there is currently no clue to these things.
We can only do this first, take it one step at a time.
Wang Hu also sat next to me and listened to the conversation between me and Lao Cao.
But of course a weak ghost like him would be of no use in solving these matters. Just listen to it and gain some knowledge.
Looking at the time, it's almost one o'clock in the morning.
I was ready to go back upstairs to sleep.
Before going upstairs, I saw that Wang Hu was at a loss what to do and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Only then did I realize that I hadn’t arranged where they would sleep at night!
Even though he is a ghost, he can stay anywhere. But since he is already an official employee of the coffin shop, he has to arrange a fixed place to live, right?
I thought about it and said, "Brother Wang, if you don't mind, you can stay in the empty corridor room next to me. It was originally the place where the paper figures and horses made by Lao Cao were placed."
After hearing what I said, Lao Cao suddenly realized that he was a little embarrassed to say that he was older and did not consider things carefully enough. Just ask Wang Hu to tell me where he wants to live.
Wang Hu thought for a while and finally said: "Boss, Brother Wu, I will live in the front of the store. I'll just keep guarding the door."
"That's fine, as long as you like it, Brother Wang."
After that, I went upstairs to sleep.
At six o'clock the next morning, I woke up on time.
After a whole night's sleep using sleeping skills, I feel refreshed and all the fatigue from last night has been wiped away. Even the strength of the soul and body has increased very slightly.
Yes, sleeping skills are so magical!
After Lao Cao taught me this skill before, Master also said that he was really willing to do it.
As long as you insist on sleeping with sleep skills every day, even if you don't practice anything, after a long time, the strength of your soul and body will be far beyond that of ordinary people. The fists and feet are strong, so don't get close if you are sneaky.
Of course, that would be a lazy person. It is impossible for me not to practice. Instead, I have to take advantage of sleeping skills to practice more magic and learn more cultural knowledge!
I got dressed and got up, walked through the corridor room on the second floor, and said hello to the paper people and horses-even though they couldn't possibly answer. But somehow I felt like I was being responded to.
Then I went downstairs and heard a greeting.
"Brother Wu, good morning."
I was startled and took a step back subconsciously. Then I immediately remembered that this was the ghost Wang Hu who had taken in last night.
Take a closer look.
Sure enough, I saw Wang Hu already cleaning with a broom. When he saw me coming downstairs, he stopped and smiled at me and said hello.
This is why Taoist practitioners like me and Lao Cao can see him sweeping the floor with a broom - if ordinary people came in, they would only see a broom moving out of thin air, and they would probably be frightened!
"Good morning, Brother Wang. Actually, you don't have to clean up so early. Anyway, our coffin shop doesn't usually have many people coming here."
Wang Hu scratched his head and replied honestly: "It's okay if I can't sleep anyway. I'll just do some exercise."
Since everyone said that, I smiled and nodded.
In fact, what he said makes sense.
Ghosts also need training!
The soul body and the physical body are actually similar and both need to be strengthened through exercise. So when he sweeps the floor with his soul on the broom, he is indeed exercising his soul.
Of course, any [exercise] method without a method cannot be called [cultivation]. The speed of getting stronger is very slow, which can only be said to be better than nothing.
But Lao Cao and I don't have the method of ghost cultivation - and even if we do, we are not familiar with it to that extent yet, and it is impossible to teach it to Wang Hu.
I admire you, I admire him, he is indeed a good father!
But it’s impossible to trust him so much as soon as you join the coffin shop. We still need to investigate and investigate first - there is still a three-month probationary period for working as a living person.
However, I must have buried these words in my heart, and it is impossible to express them openly.
Ever since I was a child, I have been a very complicated person.
Many times I actually wonder, if it weren’t for the fact that I have a pair of parents who love me very much and are kind, and live in a happy family. When I grew older, another master encouraged me to study hard.
I'm afraid that a person with my personality might end up going astray!
After going out, I went to the bun shop not far away to buy breakfast as usual.
Aunt Wang, who sells steamed buns, asked me with a smile, why I bought two more today. Is it a guest at home?
I shook my head and said no, it was just that I was growing and eating more.
In fact, this was prepared for Wang Hu...
I went back to the coffin shop and put Lao Cao's on the wooden table in his room, and then gave two more to Wang Hu and let him eat.
"Thank you, Brother Wu! I haven't eaten steamed buns in several years."
He looked at the meat buns in his hand and felt a little emotional.
Indeed, Wang Hu was crazy in the years before his death. It is estimated that when he begs for food, people will not give him fresh meat buns to eat.
As for turning into a weak scold after death, although he has regained normal consciousness and thinking. But I didn’t dare to show up during the day, and I couldn’t eat the buns I bought in the morning.
How do ghosts eat?
It's simple, eat food gas!
Wang Hu picked up the bun, put it to his mouth, then opened his mouth and sucked hard.
call!
I saw a faint white smoke being inhaled from the bun into Wang Hu's mouth and nose, and he had a very satisfied expression on his face.
As for the bun, it quickly became rotten and shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye.
It also exuded an unpleasant rancid smell, as if it had been left out for two or three days in the high summer temperature.
Wang Hu "ate" two steamed buns in succession, absorbing the food energy inside them, and the steamed buns quickly became rancid, rotten, and shriveled.
I thought it was quite interesting and nodded: "It turns out that ghosts really eat like this. This is the first time I've seen it."
Wang Hu was a little embarrassed and said, "I made Brother Wu laugh."
Then he put the spoiled buns into the trash can.
I just ate my steamed buns and went out.
Therefore, ghosts "eat" by absorbing the energy of food. Food "eaten" by ghosts will become rotten, shriveled, and rancid very quickly.
Therefore, if people find food in their homes, it is obviously in winter when the temperature is relatively low. The food spoiled after just leaving it on the table for a long time. It was probably not natural decay, but... there was a ghost in the house!
Eat your food.
At this time, you have to be careful.
Because sometimes the ones who come in are just hungry, weak ghosts stealing food, and other times it’s vicious ghosts—that’s troublesome.
In short, if you have leftovers at home, you need to pay attention to the condition of the food. It's better to be careful.
