Chapter 241 Can my merits be given to my grandfather?
"Cough cough~"
Su Chen cleared his throat.
Xu Jiahua and the ghost turned around at the same time.
When the Yin Messenger saw the powerful Dao power in Su Chen, he was stunned for a moment, then bowed respectfully: "You are..."
"I'm her...husband."
The Yincha was stunned for a moment, then explained with a dry laugh: "Don't misunderstand, we are just here to discuss. It's a mutual agreement, and we are not forcing you..."
"I know," Su Chen nodded, and then asked, "Is the underworld short of houses?"
The Yincha nodded and said, "The City God wants to provide housing for people with meritorious deeds, but... over the past few decades, there have been very few houses dedicated to the mortal world. Now there are only some dilapidated thatched houses left, so..."
Su Chen remembered the thatched hut where Xu Jiahua lived before. It turned out that it was arranged by the underworld.
It is indeed small and shabby, and there are many people living in it.
If you think about it carefully, those are indeed meritorious deeds.
No wonder...
Xu Jiahua carefully looked at Su Chen's expression and asked in a low voice: "Can I give up the other rooms in the house?"
"Actually, I only need a small room to rest. There are many people who have more merits than me, and they deserve to live in a bigger house."
Su Chen nodded: "If I burn it for you, it's yours. It's up to you to decide."
"But about the house..." Su Chen looked at the ghost messenger, "I'll discuss it with the City God when I have time, and I'll burn more of them."
The ghost messenger was surprised: "You...are familiar with the City God?"
"There is a relationship on several occasions."
Su Chen looked around again and reminded Xu Jiahua: "You must keep at least one of the paper horses and paper figurines, otherwise my mother will scold me and ask me to make a new one."
"it is good."
Seeing that there was no problem on Xu Jiahua's side, Su Chen left quickly.
When Xie Qianglong was found, the old ghost who occupied his body had already left.
Xie Guokun and his group of old friends surrounded Xie Qianglong, but kept a distance of five or six meters.
They all spoke earnestly.
"Xiaolong, just listen to your grandpa. You spend all day either rock climbing or racing. You're almost scaring your grandpa to death."
"That's right, don't think you won't die just because you become a ghost. Following you around all day is really depleting your Yin Qi. Once your Yin Qi is exhausted, your soul will easily scatter, understand?"
"Your grandfather had so much merit when he died. Look at him. In order to protect you, he was worn down to this little bit."
"Do you remember when you went rock climbing at Feiying Cliff two years ago? You only had a rope with you, and one of your feet missed a step. Your grandfather and I desperately held you up, otherwise you would have survived."
"Remember half a year ago when you got in a fight and got stabbed in the stomach? Old Xie desperately tried to turn the knife, otherwise it would have stabbed you in the heart..."
Su Chen crossed his arms and looked at Xie Qianglong who was surrounded.
At this time, he covered his face with both hands, and also covered his ears, looking like he didn't want to see or hear.
Xie Guokun sighed upon seeing this.
"Forget it, this is fate, you don't have to help me persuade it."
As he spoke, he turned and looked at Su Chen.
"Taoist Master."
"You can take half of the merit I promised you now, and the other part..."
He paused and said, "Can you help me transfer the remaining half to Xiaolong?"
Upon hearing this, Xie Guokun's old friends hurriedly tried to persuade him.
"Old Xie, no!"
"That's right. If you want to enjoy preferential treatment here and be reborn into a good family, it all depends on your merits. If you give it all to him, what will you do?"
"Yes, without the merit, the next time you go out to see Xiaolong, you will be so exhausted that your soul will be scattered."
Xie Guokun smiled and waved his hands: "It's okay, then don't go out and see, it's not a big deal."
He looked at Su Chen: "Master, I'm in trouble."
Su Chen didn't answer, he looked at Xie Qianglong.
At this time, Xie Qianglong had already taken his hands away from covering his face, and his red eyes and tear marks at the corners of his eyes could be clearly seen.
Su Chen said: "What about you? What do you say?"
Xie Qianglong opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but he couldn't help but burst into tears.
"Oh, Xiaolong, why are you crying? Grandpa... wait for me for a while. When my Yin energy is strong enough, I can still go out to see you. Don't cry, Xiaolong. Grandpa won't stop you from racing, okay? Don't cry, you're going to make me die of heartache."
The more Xie Guokun spoke, the more miserable Xie Qianglong cried.
Finally, he burst into tears.
Xie Guokun also started crying, but his ghost cry had almost no tears, which looked a bit weird and the sound was harsh.
Su Chen: "..."
He put some Taoist power into his ears and successfully blocked out the sound.
After waiting for two words, the grandfather and grandson finally stopped.
Xie Qianglong blew his nose and wiped his eyes with the cuff of his leather jacket: "Hello? Do I have any merits?"
He asked Su Chen.
Su Chen shook his head: "Have you done anything good? Do you still want to have merit?"
Xie Guokun hurriedly said: "Xiaolong, if you want merit, Grandpa has it, and Grandpa will give it to you."
Xie Qianglong didn't reply to him and continued looking at Su Chen.
"So if I do good things, can I gain merit?"
"If you do it sincerely, you will get it naturally."
"Then can my merits be given to my grandfather?"
Xie Guokun's ghost trembled.
Su Chen raised the corner of his mouth slightly: "You can't give it to me, I can help you transfer it."
"No, no, Xiaolong, you don't know how hard it is to get merit. Grandpa has it. You don't need it..."
Xie Qianglong finally looked at him.
"Grandpa~"
Xie Guokun: “…eh.”
"It's great to see you again."
"Xiaolong, you..."
Xie Qianglong walked over and wanted to hug Xie Guokun, but he hugged nothing.
He blinked back his tears.
"I know you're always here, Grandpa." His voice was choked with sobs. "Every time I'm in danger, I can feel you, but every time I come to my senses, I can't feel you anymore. I, I..."
Xie Guokun was stunned.
His group of old ghost friends were also stunned.
Su Chen suddenly realized.
As expected, sometimes human hearts are hard to predict even by divination.
Even he, who used his divine eyes to see several scenes, did not notice it.
After a long while, Xie Guokun choked up and said, "Xiaolong, it's Grandpa who has let you down. It's Grandpa's fault!"
"Old Xie, isn't this your fault? You went to see your grandson, but you stayed away, afraid that Xiaolong would be contaminated by Yin Qi. If he had been contaminated earlier, wouldn't Xiaolong have been able to see you? You guys... Ouch~"
Seeing the grandfather and grandson looking at each other in silence, and then grinning foolishly, Su Chen asked: "Xie Qianglong, do you want your grandfather to spend the New Year with you?"
Xie Qianglong was stunned: "Can, can I?"
Su Chen looked at the other old ghosts: "Do you want to join us?"
"Are there any offerings? The kind with big fish and meat!"
"Yes, yes, I haven't eaten delicious food for a long time."
Xie Qianglong nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, I have money, a lot of it, I'll ask a chef to make it!"
Xie Guokun grinned: "What did I say? Our Xiaolong is the most filial. Come to our house to celebrate the New Year together, no one can be left behind!"
"Let's go!"
Su Chen gestured for them to follow and took a step forward.
"Brother Long!"
At the foot of the mountain, the young men gathered around Xie Qianglong when they saw him appear, but soon they began to rub their hands and hiss, "Oh my god, it's so cold!"
It is indeed cold.
That place seemed to be in an ice storage.
Xie Qianglong's eyes turned red again as he thought about it.
"Who then? Taoist Priest..."
Su Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "Speak."
"Can my grandpa not go back to that gloomy place?"
