Siheyuan: I Called the Police at the Beginning

Chapter 103 The Underworld and the Ghost King

With Geng Ping'an's strength, he wanted to hide himself.

Based on the slight energy fluctuations emanating from Luang Phor, it would be impossible to find his whereabouts.

As Geng Ping'an followed the two, he pieced together the gist of their story.

The man appeared to be urinating urgently in some deserted area.

The crucial point is that he happened to urinate on the jar where 'someone' lived, which angered some people.

If he were to buy some paper money and candles and sincerely apologize to someone...

The man's recent string of misfortunes will then be resolved.

Unfortunately, the man himself was not superstitious and did not want to resort to this solution.

Luang Phor could have simply said that he had encountered a ghost.

Instead, she went around in circles and told the man that people should be respected and not to be taken for granted.

This led the man to choose to continue his reckless actions.

The situation spiraled out of control.

Seeing this, Geng Ping'an was confused. He thought that many of the sorcerers and the main character in the movie were just acting like idiots.

In reality, why do people still insist on only saying half of what they mean?

Let the skeptical protagonist figure out the deeper meaning for himself.

So, Geng Ping'an followed behind the two of them.

Seeing the man part ways with the old woman, she inadvertently violated someone's taboo once again.

He shouted that he was not afraid of retaliation from the people hiding behind him.

If you're so capable, come and destroy him.

Don't resort to underhanded tactics behind his back and ruin his good mood.

Enraged by the man's arrogant provocation, the person behind him naturally complied with his request.

She followed the man from the beginning, sucking his yang energy from his back and bringing him endless bad luck.

It came directly in front of him.

She lay on top of him.

When the man couldn't see, she tightly covered his eyes with her hands.

This prevented him from seeing a car driving straight towards him.

To outsiders, it looked like the man was riding straight ahead, completely disregarding his own life and attempting suicide.

This is exactly what the old folks often call "being blinded by ghosts."

It makes people oblivious to the dangers around them, and by the time they realize it, it's too late.

They died because of the danger that was so close at hand.

Drip!

The driver of the car in front was honking his horn frantically.

But they couldn't wake the man.

By the time he tried to turn the steering wheel, it was too late.

Just when Geng Ping'an thought the man was about to die.

The patriarch suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

It turned out that after parting ways with the man, she knew he wouldn't easily believe her words.

Then he secretly turned around and followed.

At that moment, she was clearly an old woman with white hair.

However, he was very agile.

Before the man could be hit, they forcefully pulled his entire body towards them.

By a mere millisecond, the car grazed the man's body and ran him over.

Ignore the driver's cursing.

The old woman threatened the still-shaken man again, saying, "This is only the first time. You will face countless more crises in the future. If you don't let that person leave, you won't live much longer."

interesting.

When Granny Long was saving people, Geng Ping'an sensed the fluctuation of that cold, sinister magical power emanating from her.

That's why she, an old woman, was able to lift the man up completely.

However, this magical power was still too weak in Geng Ping'an's eyes; it only gave Long Po the strength of a Hercules for a moment.

Then it vanished instantly.

Not to mention the various wonders comparable to the cultivation techniques in the world of immortals, and the power of flying and escaping.

In terms of destructive power, even the lowest level of Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic) on his body cannot compare.

To put it bluntly, Luang Phor was still just an ordinary person with a few meager skills.

"Master, you must save me!"

Having experienced being blinded by a ghost, the man finally learned to be afraid.

She was practically crying and begging the old woman to save her.

Since Luang Phor had laid so much groundwork, she naturally wouldn't let him die; otherwise, all the things she had done before would have been for nothing.

She said, "If you want to live, you have to do whatever I say from now on."

"Okay, Master, I'll listen to you. You must help me."

Geng Ping'an didn't recognize the man, so this man who didn't look like any celebrity was probably not from a movie.

He was just one of the unlucky souls that Luang Phor routinely rescued.

The ghost that haunted him wasn't some powerful plot boss.

Just then, Geng Ping'an finally saw the method by which the Dragon Lady helped the man.

Then the old woman brought the man home.

Then from the altar table where Lord Guan is worshipped.

He took out a bright red, tender twig with leaves.

clap clap clap!
Then, the old woman began to beat the man severely with a tree branch.

They whipped the ghost off the man.

And at first, he struck the ghost in the open space with force, making a crackling sound as if the ghost was being whipped by a branch.

Good guy.

Geng Ping'an thought that the Dragon Lady's exorcism methods would be incredibly magical.

As it turned out, she simply used willow branches to ward off the ghost, a classic folk method.

Geng Ping'an couldn't understand why the willow tree was in contact with ghosts.

It will produce a violent chemical reaction like an electric spark, causing the ghost to scream in agony.

However, Luang Phor, being only a mortal, was clearly able to see ghosts.

Unlike the man, who looked completely bewildered and lost, even though he was possessed by a ghost, he didn't know where the danger lay.

There is another entity in front of me.

At least, the old woman could always pinpoint the ghost's location accurately, which allowed her to use willow branches to deal with it.

Every lash hit its mark.

It appears that Luang Phor did not perform any magic or use cow tears.

Geng Ping'an guessed that the Dragon Lady must have the ability to see ghosts.

Every world has a different worldview, and with Long Po's meager magical power, Geng Ping'an certainly doesn't believe she can open her third eye.

Like him, they relied on their extraordinary spiritual and soulful power.

Then you can see ghosts as normal people.

So, in reality, he is just a figure who can be seen anywhere in this world.

You can see many disgusting ghosts of hanged men and car accident victims wandering the streets.

Fortunately, he could completely distinguish between humans and ghosts, and could easily annihilate these beings.

I wasn't scared at all.

Unlike many movie protagonists with the ability to see ghosts, or characters like Miko in Japanese anime, who only live in endless fear.

Living in constant fear and unable to distinguish between reality and illusion, he ultimately met a tragic end, discovered by ghosts and dismembered by them.

Even the soul cannot escape the fate of being devoured.

clap clap clap!
Luang Phor does have some skills.

While Geng Ping'an was pondering, she had already used a willow branch to pull the ghost away from the man.

Amidst a chorus of venomous wails.

He fled unwillingly.

Seeing the ghost leave, there was actually no loss at all.

Just like the Nian beast he feared when it was driven away, it might come back again at any time.

Geng Ping'an was also somewhat puzzled.

Are the exorcism methods in this world really this bad?
Judging by Luang Phor's face alone, she shouldn't be some amateur exorcist in this world.

But it seems like she doesn't have any good solutions when it comes to dealing with just a little devil.

She can't kill ghosts like that.

They also did not choose to seal the ghost in a jar like Uncle Nine did, to prevent it from continuing to cause trouble.

Just drive it away.

She wasn't afraid that the ghost would come back and continue to haunt the man.

Therefore, Geng Ping'an found it very strange.

Even ghosts are morally upright; once they've bothered you and been driven away, they won't repeat the offense.

You think this is an antibody vaccine that can protect against a second ghost possession? How could Luang Phor have the nerve to comfort the man and say the problem was solved?

If the ghost comes again, how should the man protect himself? Perhaps the ghost will harbor even more resentment and malice towards the man because it was driven away.

Could it be that the patriarch could always guard against ghosts and protect men?

This is only treating the symptoms, not the root cause.

The man left, filled with gratitude and a sense of lingering fear.

Geng Ping'an appeared before Long Po.

Before he could even ask a question.

Luang Phor exclaimed in shock, "Such a powerful Buddha light! I've never heard of anything like it before! Which Buddhist Arhat has appeared? This old woman pays her respects to the Buddha!"

As she spoke, she hurriedly bowed and paid her respects to Geng Ping'an in front of her.

He has some discernment, but not much.

Geng Ping'an was at a loss for words when Long Po suddenly called him "Buddha".

After thinking about it, he still didn't rush to explain.

Instead, he asked what he cared about most: "Tell me, what is the underworld like? What is it made of? And who is the most powerful person there?"

"Buddha, the most powerful person in the underworld is of course Ksitigarbha."

Although she was puzzled as to why Geng Ping'an would ask her such a basic question, Granny Long still answered Geng Ping'an's question respectfully.

Through the introduction of the Dragon Lady, Geng Ping'an finally gained an understanding of the mysterious side of this world.

The underworld of this world has no Ox-Head or Horse-Face.

These words immediately relieved him.

Previously, when Luang Phor first mentioned Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, it almost scared him to death.

It won't be that bad. What seems like an ordinary world of ghosts and gods is actually home to a group of magnificent gods and Buddhas.

He later learned that it was just a title.

Similar to a position in the underworld.

Just like how the underworld officials are all human beings after death.

They became death gods, equivalent to civil servants, in the underworld.

Then there is a Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in the underworld.

He was not a real monk either.

He was the former ruler of the underworld, and it is said that he has disappeared for many years.

Therefore, the other public officials of the underworld, the Grim Reaper, have become leaderless. Although they are still maintaining the functions of the underworld and capturing the lonely ghosts who linger in the human world.

However, their control over the underworld has become increasingly insufficient over time.

That's why there are so many evil spirits and demons in this world.

There was even a situation where the Ten Ghost Kings of the Yin-Yang Path ruled the human world and declared themselves kings.

It is said that they did not have enough power to suppress all kinds of ghosts and gods.

It also coincided with the issue of Hong Kong's territorial sovereignty, and those "ghost kings" were all fierce and ruthless social bigwigs before their deaths.

That's why their ferocity became unmatched after their deaths.

He wreaked havoc on the human world, and even after death, he continued to lead a group of ghostly underlings in causing chaos.

They are lawless and lawless in the human world.

The so-called underworld's control over ghosts and the netherworld was far weaker than he had anticipated.

Shaking his head, Geng Ping'an looked at the dazzling Buddhist light emanating from his body.

There is also an explanation.

What Long Po was referring to was the power he possessed from practicing the Yi Jin Jing (Muscle/Tendon Changing Classic) and having accumulated ten Jiazi (a unit of time).

And this is undoubtedly his weakest systemic strength.

He had consumed many rare and precious natural treasures while cultivating immortality.

While practicing the Northern Darkness Rebirth Technique.

His even lower-level internal energy was uncontrollably surging upwards.

This is what caused the old woman to misunderstand.

After all, it was just the Buddhist internal energy of a few hundred years that he looked down upon.

In the eyes of someone like Luang Phor who doesn't possess any special or extraordinary powers, it was undoubtedly the reincarnation of Buddha.

In other words, she knew that there was only one Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva in Buddhism, who could never possibly appear.

Otherwise, she wouldn't have called Geng Ping'an an Arhat, but would have directly proclaimed that a certain Buddha had descended to earth.

Considering how much Luang Phor explained for him.

He waved goodbye, but still offered a brief explanation.

"I have only practiced some Buddhist skills, I am not the Arhat you see."

He is not a monk, and he certainly doesn't want to be any kind of monk or Arhat.

To be honest, he was also a cultivator, a practitioner of Taoism.

He gave Luang Phor some of the most basic talismans.

Geng Ping'an bid farewell to Long Po.

These talismans may not mean much to him, but in this world...

The talismans for warding off evil and protecting the house are enough for her to deal with most ghosts and monsters.

Geng Ping'an gave the talisman to the Dragon Lady not only because she answered many of his questions.

Furthermore, most of the characters in Lun Phor's movies are good people, true masters who slay demons and fight desperately for the protagonists.

You may encounter misfortune.

In this era of rampant demons, she gave the old woman some hope, and in a way, she saved her.

This allows her to save countless lives of other innocent people, a truly meritorious act.

"Master, Master, save me!"

She had just left Luang Phor.

Geng Ping'an received a phone call from a panicked Lin Fazhong, who was pleading for help.

"Are you home? I'm coming right away, hang in there."

I know that in the original novel, Lin Fazhong could perish together with ghosts.

He had enough time to save the other person.

Geng Ping'an learned from Lin Fazhong that he and his wife were hiding at home, and immediately flew towards them.

"Lin Fazhong, who are they?"

They arrived at No. 888 Yin Yang Road, where Lin Fazhong lived, almost instantly.

Geng Ping'an saw Lin Fazhong trembling with fear outside his house with his wife and children.

There was another group of people.

Of course, there are also the vengeful ghosts inside the house.

"Master, you've arrived. These are some of my friends who have come to help me."

Only after Lin Fazhong's explanation did Geng Ping'an understand.

His previous warning had put Lin Fazhong on his guard.

After receiving the benefits from the ghost, he used the money to hire several acquaintances he met at the gambling dens to help him.

These regular customers are quite kind-hearted.

Or perhaps they don't believe in the existence of ghosts and are very curious about them, which is why Liu Fazhong took a desperate gamble.

They invited someone to help deal with the ghost.

The result was naturally that it was of no use at all; instead, a group of people were all tormented by the ghost.

Their faces were filled with terror.

Like Lord Ye who loved dragons but was terrified of them, he only realized how frightening it was now that he had encountered one.

These people look somewhat familiar.

Looking at Wen Cai and Qiu Sheng, Geng Ping'an suddenly remembered that they were characters from the movie "Ghost Cop".

Think about it.

Numerous films have brought more than one character from the original work to life in Hong Kong.

They all enjoyed gambling.

This undoubtedly allowed characters in other movies to intersect with Lin Fazhong.

Just thinking about Wencai's terrible character in the original work, and Qiusheng's saintly nature.

He frowned.

Although the group came with 'good intentions' to help.

But they were undoubtedly making things worse. Somehow, the ghosts in the house had already been angered by some of their actions.

At this moment, a chilling wind was blowing and a fierce roar was heard.

Or, why don't we kill the Holy Mother first?

Thinking of the various outrageous actions taken by supporting characters like Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai in the original work.

There's also that idiot saint.

People around clearly said there was a ghost and that we shouldn't open the elevator.

He insisted that he couldn't see, ignoring the terrified attempts of those around him to stop him.

Every time, at the last moment before the elevator doors close, the button is pressed repeatedly, allowing the ghost to finally enter.

He was thinking of kicking this idiot off the elevator.

Whether the main characters or not is unknown, but this kind of saintly figure who's willing to die a huge death must be the first to die.
