Chapter 63: Chapter 63 Extrely Evil Ghost_1

Xiao Wu was the first to lose his patience, asking, "Boss Zheng, what on earth is going on? What’s up with this blue and white porcelain?"

You couldn’t bla him for being anxious. After all, he had purchased this blue and white porcelain piece at a high price. According to the seller, it was retrieved from the ocean by fishern. It might even be a piece of pottery that fell into the sea during Zheng He’s mariti expeditions. Xiao Wu had so knowledge about these things, and he could tell that it was indeed from the Ming Dynasty. At present, blue and white porcelain was in high demand dostically. Since this piece was both ancient and culturally significant, it should be a genuine masterpiece. So why did Boss Zheng react in such a way upon seeing it?

Qin Sisi was also initially watching Boss Zheng with a curious expression. But after Ye You softly owed a few tis, Qin Sisi’s face beca a bit unsightly.

Ignoring Xiao Wu’s question for the mont, Boss Zheng glanced aningfully at Qin Sisi, asking, "I wonder if Ms. Qin could decipher what’s happening here?"

Qin Sisi furrowed her brows, thinking to herself that he was indeed crafty, trying to probe for her secrets.

According to Ye You, this blue and white porcelain piece harbored a fierce ghost with a strong grudge. Although it had been sealed away, it would still bring disaster to whoever possessed it.

Feeling shocked, Qin Sisi pondered for a while before replying slowly, "This porcelain piece has a heavy Yin energy. I fear it brings bad ons."

The look in Boss Zheng’s eyes changed when he looked at Qin Sisi. He had originally thought she was being instructed by a master behind the scenes, but it seed now like she had so real knowledge after all.

Xiao Wu’s face changed colors a few tis, looking skeptically at Boss Zheng, he said, "Boss Zheng, you should explain this properly."

Deep down, Xiao Wu certainly trusted Boss Zheng, who he knew well, more. He was aware of Boss Zheng’s abilities, but didn’t think much of Qin Sisi, who he was eting for the first ti— despite her young age, she didn’t seem qualified enough.

Boss Zheng slowly drumd his curled fingers on the table, shooting a glance at Qin Sisi before asking, "Ms. Qin, it is remarkable that you identified the Yin energy within this porcelain piece. Could you also discern the source of this Yin energy?"

Qin Sisi slightly furrowed her brows, replying with gravitas, "As there’s Yin energy, it must be related to a ghost."

Boss Zheng continued to inquire, "So, do you happen to know the origins of this ghost?"

Caught off guard, Qin Sisi realized that Ye You hadn’t ntioned the ghost’s origins. It seed that Boss Zheng was just as Ye You had described—sharp and knowledgeable. When first arriving at the antique market, Ye You stated that Boss Zheng was both scholarly and trustworthy, which is why he had led Qin Sisi directly to Ju Ya Zhai.

Humbled by the fact she didn’t know, and Ye You remaining silent, Qin Sisi sincerely responded, "I do not know the ghost’s origin. I hope Boss Zheng will enlighten ."

Qin Sisi was right, Ye You also did not know. He was not from the human world, and while he had acquired a certain understanding of it through books and living here, he was not familiar with so ancient cultural customs. At this point, Ye You also perked up his ears, curious to hear Boss Zheng’s take on this blue and white porcelain piece.

Seeing Qin Sisi finally admit her lack of knowledge, Boss Zheng breathed a sigh of relief. If she had known about it as well, it would have been unnaturally impressive, as such a thing was incredibly rare. He had only seen it once before, during his apprenticeship. He had not thought he would see it again. Especially since Xiao Wu had stumbled upon it cluelessly.

Xiao Wu, noticing Boss Zheng’s silence, anxiously urged him, "Boss Zheng, just say it!"

Boss Zheng sighed, straightened his back, and solemnly continued, "In ancient tis, when ruthless bandits were captured by the imperial household, they would be beheaded. The people feared their ghosts would seek revenge due to their cruel and wicked nature. Therefore, once beheaded, soul-locking objects were imdiately placed on the body to prevent the soul from escaping and becoming a wrathful ghost. The body would then be cremated, and the ashes placed in a ceramic jar of blue and white porcelain. An on-site Mage would seal the jar with a Blood Talisman, before it was cast into the ocean."

Qin Sisi suddenly realized that the fierce ghost was the spirit of a bandit beheaded by the imperial household in ancient tis. Such detailed procedures, followed by the jar’s subrging into the sea, showed great caution. But with the passage of ti and shifting tides, the buried sins inadvertently saw the light of day. They even beca considered priceless antique treasures.

Qin Sisi still had doubts, though. Even if the bandit had been extrely brutal in life, with countless heinous acts to his na, he was only an ordinary ghost after death. What could make the usually composed Boss Zheng so fearful? And what did this ghost possess that could bring misfortune to those who owned it?

Xiao Wu asked Boss Zheng the sa question, "Boss Zheng, I understand what you’re trying to say. This piece definitely harbors an ill on, but the soul has been locked and sealed with a Blood Talisman, aning it should be secure, right? Why are you so frightened?"

Boss Zheng looked at Xiao Wu with a complicated expression, explaining, "The fact that people in ancient tis were so excessively careful just proves how extraordinaire this ghost is. When I was young, following my master around and collecting antiques, we once encountered one. My master turned pale and advised the family to discard the object imdiately, before hurrying

away. Two months later, my master sent

to check on the situation, and I ca to learn..."

Boss Zheng paused here, closing his eyes with an expression of fear he fought to suppress.

Xiao Wu was getting a bad feeling about this and asked in anxiety, "What did you learn? Did sothing happen to that family?"

Qin Sisi also wanted to know what happened later, but she didn’t hurry Zheng. She just watched him quietly, waiting for him to reveal the truth.

After a few minutes, Boss Zheng opened his eyes and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "From what I gathered, the family of five had all died within those two months."

Qin Sisi furrowed her eyebrows. If this was true, then this ghost was truly frightening.

Xiao Wu felt weak all over, struggling to ask, "How did they die?"

In a slow response, Boss Zheng revealed, "So hanged themselves, so drowned, and so just never woke up... Even now when I think about it, it feels too tragic."

Xiao Wu collapsed onto his chair, his lips trembling, unable to utter a single word.

Qin Sisi persistently asked, "So, did your master comnt any further?"

Boss Zheng replied, "After my master heard the news, he was silent for a while, then took

away from that area, and we never went back. He said that if we encountered it again, we had to stay as far away as possible, so as to avoid inviting disaster."
