Becoming an immortal and ancestor begins with the golden toad spitting out money.

Chapter 45 Glimpses of the Past, the Truth Emerges
"The light of the moon?" The bed god and bed goddess were startled at first, but then had no further objections.

The light of the moon is the transformation of the initial light of the moon and the weather.

If it's just a few strands of moonlight, it's fine; at most, it will make the soul feel a little cold under the moonlight. But once it reaches a certain limit, it will freeze consciousness and even the soul.

The souls of cultivators dare not fly high into the sky at night because they fear the yin light of the sky.

"A spiritual object imbued with the light of the moon? The Earth God and the day-roaming spirit soldiers have been cultivating high in the sky every day, and they have indeed made some progress!"

The two Xuanmen cultivators discussed profound mysteries and Dao every day, and also went to cultivate together in the high sky, but the spirit soldiers saw everything.

One is a highly accomplished cultivator, and the other is a reincarnated person with innate wisdom; it's normal that they can talk about things together.

Originally, this battlefield was commanded by the left and right gatekeepers. When Su Ji appeared and announced his plan, many people shook their heads and sighed, thinking that Su Ji was talking nonsense.

Now, Su Ji not only brought out the local earth god, but also produced the golden toad artifact containing the spiritual essence of the moon, which greatly enhanced his persuasiveness.

As a result, the spirit soldiers not only believed Su Ji's words without a doubt, but also regarded Su Ji as the person entrusted with an important task by the local earth god.

The Bed God and Bed Goddess immediately declared, "Then let's proceed according to the plan of the Day-Wandering Spirit Soldiers!"

The two have special divine positions, and none of the three divine abilities that come with the [Talisman] are offensive, which is why they were unable to perform well in the last siege of the Black Tiger Demon.

They even went so far as to try to atone for their sins by stepping out of the crowd, nearly getting severely injured by the old demon...

Now, they finally have a place to use their talents in the plan of the Day Traveling Spirit Soldiers. After exchanging glances, they begin to work together to create a dreamlike illusion.

"【Like a dream】!"

"【Like a dream】!"

Instead of casting spells directly on the vengeful ghost Zhou Fengzi, the two infused their supernatural power into the Dream Jade to first construct a dream framework.

Seeing that Bed God and Bed Goddess were fighting, Su Ji also pointed at the magical toad in a similar manner.

"The golden toad gathers spiritual energy, and the moon shines brightly!"

Although Su Ji created the "Sun and Moon Vacuum Method," which could enhance his cultivation beyond imagination at high altitudes, it could not conceal the fact that he could not absorb the light of the moon.

The "Sun and Moon Heavenly Light Vacuum Method" only deflects the two. If the bright moon were in the sky, it might be possible to condense a beam of moonlight from high above, but at this moment, rain clouds hang high.

Fortunately, Su Ji also has the strongest support – Zhang Xiaolian.

Not to mention that the moon was still high in the sky in the real dream at this moment, Zhang Xiaolian usually used the light of the moon to purify the yin energy of the earth when she was cultivating. Su Ji only had to say his idea to get a hair tie.

This is no ordinary hair tie; it's one that Zhang Xiaolian has used since childhood, and she has acquired some magical qualities from it without even realizing it.

Furthermore, Zhang Xiaolian recently used the light of the moon to cultivate, which gave the rope the ability to bear the light of the moon.

As the spiritual patterns within the golden toad lit up, the hair tie in its mouth suddenly shone brightly. As the power of heaven and earth converged into a beam of spiritual light, a beam of celestial light suddenly flew out.

"call out!"

After transforming into rain, the speed of the vengeful ghost Zhou Fengzi decreased significantly. Now, with the spiritual soldiers blocking his way and the Taiyin Heavenly Light moving so fast, Zhou Fengzi had no chance to escape.

Instantly, the fierce aura emanating from the vengeful ghost Zhou Fengzi froze, and his unwavering footsteps, once planted, did not rise again.

The bed couple exchanged a glance, then took out the two dreamscapes they had constructed from the Dream Jade and tossed them forward in unison.

As the two dreamscapes drew closer, they gradually merged together, transforming into a more stable double-layered dreamscape before reaching the head of the vengeful ghost Zhou Fengzi.

The consciousness and part of the soul of the vengeful ghost Zhou Fengzi were frozen by the Taiyin Heavenly Light, but the obsession hidden deep in his soul began to resist instinctively.

The bed couple showed no surprise and each unleashed another supernatural power.

"【Life is but a dream】!"

"【Floating Dreams】!"

If the soul of the vengeful ghost Zhou Fengzi were truly frozen, it would be impossible for him to enter the dream. However, the Bed God and Bed Mother, instead of using Zhou Fengzi's obsession, have drawn out the memories buried deep in his soul.

Instantly, vivid memories flooded Zhou Wu's mind...

As a child, he heard many stories and legends and longed to be a chivalrous knight-errant. He even planned to leave his father and elders to travel as a knight-errant after he grew up.

However, when he was sixteen, the Wu family, which had gradually become wealthy, hired a feng shui master to find an auspicious site to rebuild their ancestral hall.

As luck would have it, his land was chosen as the best of the three plots selected by the feng shui master.

Although his family wasn't particularly wealthy, they weren't short of money either. The Wu family offered to buy the land several times, but they were refused each time.

The Wu family then believed that the Zhou family was extremely greedy and deliberately refused to sell the auspicious land in order to make more money from it.

In fact, he was the second son in his family. This land was the homestead left to him by his parents. After the house was built, the remaining open space could also be used as a vegetable garden.

Moreover, since this place is a geomantically auspicious location, it's better to keep it and use it to benefit our family than to sell it.

Besides, their family isn't short of money, so why would they need to sell land?

Both sides had their own ideas. The Wu family raised the purchase price to twice the original amount, but the other family still showed no sign of backing down.

After that, the Wu family seemed to give up and stopped discussing the land sale.

Everyone thought the Wu family had figured things out. Since they couldn't force a sale, they could just build the ancestral hall somewhere else; the feng shui master had provided alternative sites. Even he thought the Wu family had given up on the matter. However, what happened next was beyond his imagination.

"what!"

Even as Zhou Fengzi reminisced about this point, in his dreamlike state, he still felt a pain that reached his very soul.

At the same time, the Right Gate Divine Soldier was overjoyed to see the vengeful ghost Zhou the Madman fall victim to his attack.
Even though Zhou Fengzi refined a rare spiritual object with his ghost body, he still needed to use his will to mobilize the power within his body to maintain his Rain Water body.

"Now that his rain-like body is showing signs of dissipating, why don't we seize the opportunity to concentrate our forces and completely annihilate him here!"

If they could kill a powerful ghost at the level of a Great Ghost General, the merit they would gain would be enough for everyone present, since they were generally just spirit soldiers.

However, even though the spirit soldiers were somewhat tempted, none of them gave a reply. Instead, their gazes all fell on the daytime spirit soldier, the golden toad.

Su Ji took in all the gazes of the crowd, and couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

He won't remain a day-roaming spirit soldier forever, but while in office, he still hopes to gain more recognition and respect. It seems that the Earth God left behind a mess after going into seclusion, but in reality, it gave him an opportunity to perform.

As for the suggestion of the Right Gate Gods and Soldiers, it's nothing special; slaying evil spirits is the duty of all the gods in the Earth Temple.

However, this vengeful ghost, Zhou the Madman, is quite different...

"Leaving aside Zhou Fengzi's sudden madness and bizarre death before his death, today's events were also orchestrated by the mountain demons and ghosts. Although Zhou Fengzi was a vengeful ghost, he was merely being used by others."

"Moreover, Zhou the Madman did not kill anyone after arriving here, and no one can prove that he committed any murders before he came. Does that mean he must be put to death?"

These were, after all, the deities of the local earth god temple, and naturally knew the cause of the evil spirit.

A vengeful ghost is a ghost caused by the resentment of someone who commits suicide or dies violently.

The obsession formed by resentment is also called resentment. This negative emotion not only affects the consciousness of ghosts, but also continuously pollutes past memories until the entire soul becomes a vessel of resentment.

At this point, the vengeful ghost could no longer distinguish right from wrong, good from evil, or friend from foe. No matter what it encountered, it would impose its resentment upon the other party...

Clearly, the vengeful ghost Zhou Fengzi was relentlessly heading towards the Wu family's residence, without harming the villagers along the way, and even ignoring the attacks from the left and right gatekeepers.

If the guardian spirits on the left and right hadn't blocked the path of the vengeful ghost Zhou Fengzi, he wouldn't have even used his rain-water body to fight back.

The Right Gate Spirit Soldier certainly understood this principle, but he still asked in confusion, "If we don't take this opportunity to kill the vengeful ghost, once he wakes up, we won't have another spirit containing the light of the moon to help us. Then who can stop him from committing murder?"

In the eyes of the Right Gate Divine Soldiers, the murderous vengeful ghost Zhou Fengzi was an imminent event, and only by seizing the opportunity to kill him could the trouble be eliminated forever.

In Su Ji's eyes, Zhou Fengzi still had a way out at this time.

Some vengeful ghosts' resentment may stem from paranoia, while others may arise from misunderstandings... The vengeful ghost Zhou Fengzi went mad and died, and now he has returned to the village seeking revenge, which is definitely not without reason...

"what!"

Zhou Wu's vision suddenly went black, and the wooden sword in his hand almost slipped from his grasp.

Once he regained his footing, he suddenly realized that what he was holding was not a wooden sword used to chop through weeds, but a venomous snake with its tongue flicking out.

Still in shock, he instinctively threw the venomous snake away.

However, when the venomous snake fell into the water, he felt a moment of dizziness. What he had thrown into the water was not a venomous snake, but clearly a wooden sword used for sword practice.

He was only stunned for a moment, then jumped into the water without hesitation, and it took him a lot of effort to grab the wooden sword.

However, when he took the wooden sword out of the water, he found that what he was holding was clearly a black fish.

He couldn't believe his eyes, but to avoid being mistaken again, he didn't throw away the blackfish in his hand this time.

However, just as he looked at his hand again after getting ashore, a hideous ghost face suddenly appeared on the back of the blackfish, and then a long tongue suddenly came out from the mouth of the ghost face that had no lips.

As a stench assaulted his senses, the ghost tongue before him transformed back into a black fish. The fish slapped him with its tail, and he, already dazed, collapsed to the ground.

From then on, the chopsticks in his hand would often turn into thin snakes, and a ghostly shadow would fly out from behind his parents' heads...

Even if his parents spend a lot of money, or even sell land to pay for his treatment, it will only provide temporary relief.

Gradually, he became known as "Crazy Zhou" in the eyes of others, sometimes cautious, sometimes terrified, sometimes paralyzed, sometimes extremely vigilant, sometimes angrily smashing dishes, sometimes incontinent...

For twelve years, he endured immense pain and torment, until a spring rain fell and changed everything.

The spring thunder and the awakening of insects seemed to frighten away the monsters and ghosts in his mind. The rain blurred everything, but made the Wu family ancestral hall, which was located on his land, particularly clear.

And so, a madman named Zhou burst into the rain, trying to escape the village as spring thunder roared.

However, as he passed the earth god temple beside the stone bridge, all the eeriness returned to his mind. He struggled desperately and staggered forward, but ultimately fell desperately off the bridge...

"It's so true!"

Su Ji lent the Dream Jade to the Bed God and Bed Goddess, thus losing his ability to enter dreams.

Fortunately, Yan Tianchou could monitor the size of an area within a radius of one zhang. When Zhou Fengzi's dream took shape, Yan Tianchou quietly manifested a clone within it.

As a result, everything Zhou Fengzi experienced in his dream was revealed to Su Ji.

Oh, it's the last day of the month, and the monthly pass expires at midnight... Could you give me one if you have any?
