Three times married to Yama

A beggar in a dream.

Formed from the resentment of children who died in famine, they resemble withered skeletons and often lurk in dreams, demanding things from those who dream of them.

If refused, the dreamer's relatives will be haunted until death.

To deal with the Dream Beggar Ghost, you need to lure the ghost out of its dream, then mix chicken blood and cinnabar, and apply the mixture to the Dream Beggar Ghost's forehead with a magic brush.

Alternatively, one could enter the dreamer's dream and subdue them directly with force.

After reading it, I put away the Hundred Ghosts Record. It turns out that the child who always appeared in Sister Jiang's dreams was the Dream Beggar Ghost?

But where did Sister Jiang get involved with the begging ghost?

Is it possible that the begging ghost originally clung to Wang Jiancheng, but Wang Jiancheng had a protective talisman, so the begging ghost clung to Sister Jiang instead?

Entering someone else's dream is too dangerous. After all, it's someone else's dream and it's uncontrollable. Dreams are too bizarre and fantastical; anything you can imagine or can't imagine might happen in a dream.

It seems we still need to lure that beggar ghost out of the dream, but the Hundred Ghosts Record doesn't specify any method to do so. Honestly, my dad couldn't have written it more clearly.

Why don't we go ask Yan Jinyue?

As the Lord of the Underworld, he must know all ghosts. I was just asking him a question. That shouldn't be considered meddling in human affairs, right?

Thinking of this, I got up and went upstairs. I'd already been to his room once, and if there was a first time, there would definitely be a second, and then there would be many more.

Anyway, as long as we don't talk about feelings, Yan Jinyue is actually a pretty good person.

I knocked on the door, and Yan Jinyue's voice came from inside, "Come in."

I pushed open the door and went in, and saw him sitting at his desk, which was piled with many things that looked like documents.

"It's me. I've come to ask you something," I said as I walked towards him.

He looked up at me from the towering pile of documents, and put down his pen.

"Yes, sit down."

I sat down opposite him, smiling, and said, "Lord, are you busy?"

"You've come to see me, so there's no need to rush," Yan Jinyue said calmly, looking at me. "You came to ask me about the Dream Beggar Ghost?"

I was immediately surprised. "You know that's a dream-begging ghost?"

"Hmm." Yan Jinyue nodded. "If I can't even tell what kind of ghosts they are, then I don't need to be the Lord of the Underworld anymore."

"I have a small question. Your Excellency, what method should be used to lure the Dream Beggar Ghost out of the dream?"

"Answering my question shouldn't be considered meddling in worldly affairs, right?"

I felt a little uneasy, but I still looked at Yan Jinyue with anticipation. Yan Jinyue replied, "Indirectly, it can also be considered interference."

So he means that he can't say it anymore, which is a real pity.

"Okay, I apologize for my intrusion," I replied, somewhat disappointed. "I'm fine now, you can continue with your work. I won't keep you any longer."

Just as I got up, Yan Jinyue suddenly said to me, "Boys and girls also know a lot about ghosts and monsters. You can go and ask them."

My eyes lit up instantly, and I looked at Yan Jinyue with some surprise. "Thank you, I'll go ask them later."

After thinking for a moment, I asked again, "How long are you planning to be busy, Lord?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Jinyue's expression turned somewhat helpless. He glanced at the pile of documents on his desk and said, "I'm not sure. There are too many files. We'll process as many as we can."

I was a little confused. "You've already entered the mortal world to undergo tribulation, do you still have to go to work?"

Yan Jinyue nodded helplessly, "Yeah, just like in the human world, you have to get off work overtime even after you've finished work."

"But Lord, don't you still have your true self in the Netherworld...?" I said softly, "Being an avatar is too much of a burden for you."

After a slight pause, Yan Jinyue's lips suddenly curled up. "Both the main body and the clone are me, so we naturally handle the work together. The main body is responsible for guarding the Netherworld, while I am responsible for handling these Netherworld files."

So that's how it is. I've never been to the Underworld and don't know what it's like, but I think it might be similar to the human world.

I nodded and said to Yan Jinyue, "Then you can get back to work, Lord. As a thank you, I'll get you some late-night snacks."

Yan Jinyue did not refuse, and I did not leave immediately. Instead, I stood in front of him with my phone and ordered takeout in front of him.

"Want some crayfish?" I asked.

"eat."

"How about some barbecue?"

"eat."

"Would you like some beer?"

"it is good."

"..."

I was satisfied with Yan Jinyue's answer, so I ordered a lot of food for him.

Just as I was getting ready, a question suddenly occurred to me, and I asked him, "My lord, do you have a cell phone?"

I don't think so. I've spent so much time with him and I've never seen him use a cell phone. Maybe I should buy him one?

"No," he replied.

"Then I'll give you one," I said with a smile, and immediately ordered the latest model phone on a food delivery platform.

"Thank you." He didn't refuse.

I am very satisfied; I feel quite comfortable and natural interacting with each other in this way.

I didn't disturb Yan Jinyue's work any longer, and quickly left the house. I'll deliver the takeout and phone to him when they arrive.

When I got downstairs, I immediately called over the boy and girl, because I had burned their game console and cell phone for them last time, and now they're practically internet addicts.

"Madam, what are your orders?" the maid asked me respectfully.

"You know about the Dream Beggar Ghost, right? Tell me, how do you draw the Dream Beggar Ghost out of a person's dream?" I asked hurriedly.

The young girl blinked her big eyes at me. "Yes, I know. I can tell you anything you want to know, except for the Lord's secrets."

"Hey, all I want to know is how to lure out the Dream Beggar Ghost. I'm not interested in your Lord's secrets," I replied.

The maiden then said, "The Dream-Begging Ghost likes to eat red eggs smeared with chicken blood. Madam, you only need to prepare red eggs and three incense sticks. After the person being haunted by the Dream-Begging Ghost falls asleep, light the incense and place the chicken blood and red eggs by his bedside, and the Dream-Begging Ghost will come out of his dream."

"Once the Dream Beggar Ghost emerges from the dream, it becomes no different from an ordinary ghost. Madam, you can deal with it using the same methods you use to deal with ghosts."

"Thanks, I understand. Go have fun."

I said I understood. Following the method the virgin described, I thought it was quite simple to lure out the Dream Beggar Ghost. I immediately called Sister Jiang and asked her to prepare chicken blood, red eggs, and incense.

Sister Jiang agreed, but her tone sounded terrified. "Master Yin, could you... could you come tonight? My husband has been acting strangely ever since you left..."

"What's wrong with it?" I asked hurriedly.
