Volume 1: Spirit Marriage Chapter 63: Fish Daoist Rewards Brother of Witch Doctor Chubby with Diamonds for Additional Chapters

  "Sit," the Fish Daoist said suddenly.

  I sat down nervously, I don't know why, under the gaze of this stinky Taoist, I had a feeling of being naked and having nothing to hide.

  Maybe it's because I'm too lazy.

  The Fish Daoist looked at me and asked, "Young man, how old are you?" I was taken aback, daring to call me a young man, the old mixed dao is too rude. Seeing his attitude so vicious, my courage actually increased, saying eighteen years old. The Fish Daoist asked again: "What kind of occupation do your parents engage in?" I listened more and more uncomfortable, saying they are all farmers, what's wrong? The Fish Daoist asked again: "How long have you been a doctor?"

  I had a feeling of being interrogated by him, so I plucked up the courage to stare back at him and counter-question: "What does this have to do with you? What exactly do you want to say?"

  The Fish Daoist hummed, "Youngster, you're quite bold, not afraid of me at all." I said, what do I have to be afraid of? The Fish Daoist asked, "Do you know what I do?" I didn't respond, and he said he was a ghost catcher. I said, what does catching ghosts have to do with me? I'm not a ghost. The Fish Daoist stared at me and said, "You may not be a ghost, but you're harboring one!"

  I sprang up and blurted out: "Nonsense!"

  Yu Daoist sneered, "Your temper is still quite fiery, don't get agitated, sit down and speak slowly." I said there's nothing to say, and after finishing speaking, I'll leave. Yu Daoist unhurriedly said, "Want to leave? If you don't put down your butcher knife and change your evil ways for good, even if you flee to the ends of the earth, I will still send you into the Buddhist gate."

  As soon as I heard this, I didn't want to leave anymore. I turned around and stared at Yu Dao Shi, asking word by word: "What makes you say that I'm raising a ghost?" Yu Dao Shi said: "If you're not raising a ghost, why did you see me come last night and turn around to run away? The little ghost that ran out of the room last night wasn't raised by you?"

  I was taken aback, and this old Mao indeed discovered He Suo. However, since he didn't see me with Water Saint He Suo, I refused to admit it, pretending to be deaf and dumb, saying that last night's encounter had nothing to do with him because I hadn't noticed him at all and hadn't seen any little ghost.

  "You can deny it," said the Fish Daoist, "but there's one thing you have to give me a reasonable explanation for." I didn't want to bother with him anymore, but being wronged was unbearable. I suppressed my anger and asked what it was about. The Fish Daoist stood up, slowly walked over to me, stared at me and asked: "The rotten skin on Mrs. Qian's left leg, did you cut it?" I said yes, the Fish Daoist took another step forward and asked: "Which knife did you use to cut it with?"

  I was secretly surprised, this fish Daoist indeed has some weight, I pretended to be relaxed and said: "Of course, it's with my surgical knife." The fish Daoist asked: "Can you let me see that knife?" I said sorry, the knife is not on me. The fish Daoist said he didn't mind walking a trip with me, I said no need, my knife is an ancestral treasure, won't be shown to anyone.

  The Fish Taoist seemed to have expected me to say that, and didn't press the issue any further. He simply said coldly: "You little brat, remember this - since I, the Fish Taoist, have arrived here, I won't allow anything strange to happen in this place. If you still want to raise ghosts and do evil things, let me tell you, don't let me run into you again, or I'll show no mercy!"

  "Whatever." I said and left, not wanting to hear his nonsense anymore.

  Also heard the Fish Daoist shouting behind me: "And that little Zhang, is he your friend? Pass on a message for me, don't use crooked means to deceive people anymore. For this kind of person, I won't just sit back and do nothing either."

  "What do you mean?" I stopped in my tracks and turned to face Yudao, angrily asking: "What makes you say he's cheating people with deceitful means? I think you're the one who's cheating people with deceitful means!"

  The Taoist priest ignored me and turned around to chant to himself: "In life, whether one is good or evil, virtuous or wicked, depends on a single thought. If one is not careful, they will fall into the Avici Hell forever, never to be reborn!"

  Beyond comprehension!

  As I came out of the Nan bamboo building, I saw Mr. Qian standing there, and upon hearing my footsteps, he immediately turned around and asked me how my conversation with Yu Daoist went. I didn't answer his boring question, but instead asked him if he still needed me to perform surgery on his wife's right leg. Mr. Qian forced a smile and said: "Yu Daoist said that he has a wonderful method that can cure my wife's illness without needing surgery, so...I'd rather let my wife suffer less pain, what do you think?"

  What can I say? I said since Fish Daochang can cure your wife's illness, that would be the best. I'm leaving.

  "Ah——" Mr. Qian stretched out his hand towards me, I looked at him and asked if there was anything else, Mr. Qian smiled and said: "Anyway, thank you." I said I didn't help you with anything, why are you thanking me? I hurt your wife... The more I think about it, the more suffocated I feel, with a feeling of being kicked out of the house. In a fit of anger, I took out that check and handed it to Mr. Qian, saying: "I didn't cure your wife's illness, I don't want this money."

  "Ah..." Mr. Qian looked at the check in my hand, hesitating. I stuffed the check into his hand and turned to leave. Mr. Qian exclaimed twice, wanting to catch up with me, but I walked quickly and he naturally couldn't keep up.

  After leaving the villa, I regretted it again. Why did I return that check to Mr. Qian? A minute ago, I was a millionaire, but because of a momentary anger, I returned to being penniless again.

  I have no money on me now, it takes 15 yuan to get back to school from here, I'm heartbroken too, had to take the bus, transferred twice and almost late for school.

  The whole afternoon was in no mood for class, as if I had lost something. Alas, having money is not at peace, and not having money is also not at peace, it's really confusing.

  There were only two classes in the afternoon. After class, I called Zhang Yunhao and asked where he was. He said he was at home sleeping. I asked him if he didn't have any classes in the afternoon? He said no, speaking weakly, so I hung up the phone and went straight back home.

  I didn't expect Wu Lele wasn't in class either, watching TV at home. When he heard my footsteps coming back, he came out and asked me what was wrong, looking like a dead mouse that had been frozen stiff. I said I'm annoyed, then pushed open Zhang Junhao's door and saw him sitting in front of the computer playing games. I asked him why he wasn't in class, and he lazily said he didn't want to go. I told him that Yu Daozhang said he was using deceitful means to cheat people, but Zhang Junhao continued to play his game, ignoring my words. I slammed down his computer screen and angrily asked: "Are you listening to me when I speak?"

  Zhang Yunhao stared at me, expressionless, like a piece of wood. I waved my hand in front of him and asked, "Are you stupid?" Zhang Yunhao then asked, "What else did that old Taoist say?" I told him the situation at the time, and finally emphasized that I wasn't angry about Fish Taoist suspecting me or framing me, but rather that he slandered my friend, saying you use evil ways to deceive people!

  "What he said is actually right." Zhang Yunhao said: "Actually, I am just a swindling Jianghu god stick."

  "What?" I thought he was being self-deprecating.

  Zhang Yunhao said, "There's a secret I've never told you. What do you think I look like? A nouveau riche? A second-generation rich kid?" I said you indeed look like a second-generation rich kid, with money and cars. Zhang Yunhao said, "Actually, my parents passed away when I was young, and I was raised by my grandfather. He also passed away a few years ago, and now I don't have any relatives in this world."

  I was shocked and didn't expect Zhang Yunhao's life to be so miserable. Did his grandfather leave him a large sum of money?

  "My grandfather didn't leave me anything, only an ancient lute and a tattered book, which is the 'Hell's Soul-Calming Melody'. I thought it was fun to learn from my grandfather when I was young, but later on, the score went missing. My life has been miserable, however, I have a special nose that can smell ghostly energy, so I make a living by telling people's fortunes and using my silver tongue to earn money, not only supporting myself but also saving a large sum of money and even buying a car."

  Saying that, Zhang Yunhao slowly opened the computer screen, clicking on the game with the mouse while asking: "Do you think I'm a scammer now? Maybe I don't deserve to be your friend? Even less deserving of being Ghost Doctor's sidekick?"

  I was stunned for a long time. If Zhang Yunhao's words were true, then it made sense that he wanted to stay at Mr. Qian's house last night. He had seen Mr. Qian being generous and intentionally stayed behind, borrowing the opportunity to look at the feng shui in order to swindle some money from Mr. Qian. However, halfway through, a fish Daoist appeared out of nowhere and exposed Zhang Yunhao's tricks. The outcome was predictable: Mr. Qian chose to believe the fish Daoist, and Zhang Yunhao's plan fell apart.

  No wonder he was so down in the dumps.

  "You're great!" I said sincerely: "I don't think you're deceiving people with evil ways, everyone has their own way of survival, you make a living by telling fortunes, which is nothing to blame, it's just that your Tao is not as good as Fish Daoist."

  "That stinky Taoist, I won't let him off!" Zhang Yunhao said viciously.
