Three times married to Yama

When the entire stone statue was unearthed, I couldn't help but frown.

The statue was about the size of an adult domestic cat. It was unlike anything I had ever seen before. Although it was in the shape of an animal, it had an angry human face.

It looks both bizarre and somewhat comical.

I couldn't help but ask, "What is this thing?"

I was just expressing my surprise; I didn't expect Yan Jinyue to answer. I was simply expressing my doubt and shock.

But Yan Jinyue replied calmly, "This thing should be a statue of a Yin Cai Gui (a type of ghost).

Money ghost?

My brow furrowed even deeper, but I didn't ask any more questions; I just nodded slowly.

Although I was very curious about what the Yin Cai Gui was, I suppressed my questions in order to prevent Yan Jinyue from interfering too much in human affairs.

I think the book of ghosts that my father left me should contain records of ghosts that bring wealth.

Just from the name, it doesn't sound like a respectable thing.

Do you know what a ghost of wealth is?

I didn't expect Yan Jinyue to ask me directly. I was taken aback by the question, and I subconsciously shook my head to indicate that I didn't know.

"The Yin Wealth Ghost is created by humans using sinister methods to bring wealth to their own families, but usually this wealth can only last for a hundred years before it backfires." Yan Jinyue's voice was calm, as if she were telling a story.

I was stunned. "Why did you tell me that?"

"Is there a problem?"

I looked at him suspiciously. "When I asked you about the Dream Beggar Ghost before, you always told me to ask the young boys and girls. This time, you just told me directly..."

He didn't answer me immediately, but instead gently raised his hand, and the statue of the Yin Cai Ghost was lifted into the air and placed at my feet.

"I'm in a good mood today, so it's no big deal to clear up the doubts of this lady."

"However..." he said, then changed the subject, "that might not be the case in the future."

"Alright, I have some things to attend to, so I'll be going now. Remember to contact me using your spirit flame if you encounter any danger." He tapped the dark blue earring on his ear, and his figure disappeared.

I,"???"

Is he a little neurotic?

I looked down at the Yin Cai Ghost statue at my feet, and asked Butler Li for a piece of cloth to wrap it up.

When Butler Li saw the statue of the Ghostly Wealth, he froze in shock. "Miss Yin, what is this?"

I picked up the wrapped statue and walked out of the garden. "We'll have to ask the Pei family what this is."

This does not rule out the possibility that the Pei family created this ghostly wealth for their own purposes.

Moreover, black hair was growing out of the statue, and the material was very similar to human hair, making it look very strange and creepy.

My mother and the rest of the Pei family were still awake. When they saw me come out of the garden, my mother was the first to come up to me.

"Ah Yin, what's wrong? Have you noticed anything?"

I threw the wrapped statue on the ground, and the cloth covering it loosened, revealing the Yin Cai Gui statue inside.

Perhaps because it had been buried for a long time and irrigated with blood, the entire statue was dark red. There were mottled black hairs on the sculpture, especially on the face. The face was small, but the features were large and crowded. The angry eyes were particularly red.

"What, what is this?" My mother was so frightened when she saw the statue that she stepped back, and I quickly went forward to support her.

The others also looked terrified, and then began to whisper among themselves, glancing at my mother intentionally or unintentionally.

I didn't hide anything and said directly, "This is a statue of a ghost of wealth, which was dug up in the Pei family garden. The things that happened to the Pei family may be related to this ghost of wealth."

"Madam Pei, do you know who buried this statue?"

My mother looked both frightened and confused. She shook her head and said, "I don't know, I really don't know, Ah Yin, you have to believe me."

She gripped me tightly with both hands, looking at me with pleading eyes.

I gently patted her hand to reassure her.

"I believe you, I was just asking casually." I smiled at my mom, wanting to see how others would react. My smile was gentle.

The others also looked bewildered, and everyone kept their distance from the strange, ghostly statue.

I glanced at the people present; some were from the Pei family, and others were staff members who worked here.

Pei Tiankuo of the Pei family has three brothers. Apart from the sleeping Pei Tiankuo, the other two brothers are here, as is Old Master Pei, the father of the three Pei brothers, who seems to be seventy years old today.

Old Man Pei, leaning on his cane and supported by his nanny, came to the front hall. When he saw the Yin Cai Gui statue on the ground, his wrinkled face immediately darkened, and his cane made a heavy thud on the ground.

"Who brought this thing here?" Old Master Pei's eyes swept over everyone, looking very imposing, but compared to Yan Jinyue, this imposing aura was like an ant looking up at an elephant.

I'm not afraid at all. Besides, I'm not a member of the Pei family, so he can't control me.

So I stepped forward and said, "I dug it out, so what?"

Old Master Pei's gaze instantly locked onto me, his eyes filled with coldness. "Who are you, and why are you behaving so insolently in the Pei family?"

Outrageous? What outrageous thing did I do?

But thinking of my mother, I replied in a relatively calm tone, "I'm here to resolve these strange events that have happened to the Pei family. The reason why strange things have happened to your Pei family is most likely due to this ghostly wealth."

Mentioning the ghost of wealth, Old Master Pei's eyes sharpened, and the sound of his cane became even heavier.

"Nonsense! I think you're trying to scam us. You put the statue in there yourself and then dug it out yourself!" Old Master Pei shouted angrily.

Scam? I couldn't help but laugh when I heard that.

"What are you laughing at?" Old Master Pei frowned.

I admit that the Pei family is quite wealthy, but I'm not short of money. I'm here to help my mother; I never intended to accept any money.

But I felt a little annoyed when I heard what Grandpa Pei said.

"What's so great about your paltry sum? I only came to the Pei family because of Madam Pei. Otherwise, what would it matter to me if your entire Pei family died?" I said calmly, my eyes full of sarcasm.

My tone was calm, but my words were arrogant to the Pei family.

"You—" Old Master Pei was so angry that his beard stood on end, not expecting me to say that.

Upon seeing this, my mother immediately stood in front of me, her words full of protection for me.

"Dad, I invited A-Yin. It's a blessing for the Pei family that she's willing to help. If the Pei family's problems aren't resolved, Tiankuo might never wake up. You don't want your eldest son to stay asleep forever, do you?"

Grandpa Pei's chest heaved violently with anger at my mother's tough attitude.

The other two brothers of the Pei family quickly went up to comfort Old Master Pei, soothing him and whispering words of comfort in his ear.

"Dad, we're all really terrified by what happened to the Pei family. None of the people we hired before noticed anything wrong, but this Miss A-Yin did, which proves she's truly capable," Pei Tianci, the second son of the Pei family, advised. "Let's let Miss A-Yin give it a try. The person my sister-in-law hired can't be wrong."

Pei Tianyao, the third son of the Pei family, remained silent, only echoing Pei Tianci.

Old Master Pei stared intently at the Yin Cai Ghost statue on the ground, his hands trembling.

After pondering for a long while, Old Master Pei still gritted his teeth and shook his head, "No! I don't agree!"

I gave a cold laugh, turned around and started walking downstairs, when I heard my mother calling out behind me.

I sent a message to my mom on my phone, telling her to calm down and that even if the Pei family were wiped out because of this, I would still save her.

I'm not really ignoring this matter; I'm just planning to go back to Xihu City to review my "Hundred Ghosts Record" and give them time to talk to Grandpa Pei.

Only through active cooperation can this matter be resolved more quickly.

I took a midnight flight back to Xihu City. I didn't call out to Xia Zheng, since I still had to go there; I just came back to take a look.

When I got home, it was still dark. I went straight to the study and carefully took out the Book of One Hundred Ghosts.

Although Yan Jinyue explained the Yin Cai Gui to me, she did not talk about its formation and weaknesses. The Hundred Ghosts Record records it more clearly.

as predicted.

When I took out the Hundred Ghosts Record, sure enough, one page was glowing faintly. If I wasn't mistaken, the page that was glowing should be the Yin Cai Ghost.

I took a deep breath and carefully turned to the page about ghosts and spirits. At the same time, I admired my dad. How many ghosts and monsters had he encountered in his life that he could record so many?
