member, you are my wife by proxy marriage, and you can only stay with me until death, that's all..."To death.Die.When it was time to end our day, he didn't vanish immediately. Instead, he reached out...Apparitions and minor demons generally prefer places filled with gloom and dim light.

I didn't turn on the lights, standing at the top of the stairs, watching the few shadowy figures below.

They come in various shapes and sizes, with different faces, some plump and some thin. They wear plain robes and gauze caps or hairpins, exuding an ancient charm.

If they were to be called spirits, they would likely be minor ones. Their bodies reek of ghostly energy, with not a trace of celestial aura.

His face was pale and his smile sent shivers down your spine.

When I asked them who they were, they looked at each other. The one in the front, wearing a gauze hat, trembled his sleeves and bowed to me: "I am Zhao Gongming..."

What

"I am Zhang Yuanbo."

"Zhong Shigui."

"Liu Yuandao."

"Shi Wenye."

Oops, I don't know any of them.

But since the other party introduced themselves, what should I say According to the rules of the Jianghu, shouldn't I start with "I've long admired your name"

"That...it's been a long time..." I awkwardly replied.

To their surprise, they were quite taken in by it, and the forced smiles on their faces immediately softened a bit.

"Despite her young age, the little princess is surprisingly well-informed. She even knows all of our names," said the veiled ghost Zhao Gongming with a smile, shaking his sleeves gracefully.

This... I can only bite the bullet and make up an excuse.

"Indeed, indeed, five...five illustrious figures, many people have heard their names in the common folk...it's just that, it's just that very few have had the fortune of seeing them..."

I'm saying this to protect myself, in case I say something wrong, I'll have some room to maneuver.

I couldn't have gotten luckier, that hit the nail on the head.

Five ghostly figures simultaneously revealed contented smiles: "The little princess speaks the truth. In this world, no matter how much one begs, we are too lazy to deal with those who take shortcuts. Even if their crooked ways occasionally bring them temporary wealth, it will never last..."

So after all this talk, what exactly are you guys

I'm very curious, but I'm too afraid to ask. Wouldn't asking be like slapping myself in the face

Hold it!

If you can string together a few more clues, it should be guessable.

"Why have several deities come to my humble abode Although I don't offer many, I am still a Taoist household. In my daily life, I've never been disrespectful towards the offerings of the Three Pure Ones, the Six Imperials, and our ancestral masters... You all..."

"Oh, little princess, there's no need to worry. We are just here to move some things for you. Once we finish, we will return to report to the Emperor." The Shahat Ghost replied.

"Bringing things over here" I peered down curiously.

In the center of the first floor, right in front of my desk, there appeared a wicker basket.

The lid of the bamboo box was open, but it was unclear what was inside.

"Since the little princess is awake, why don't you come down and take inventory I'll continue with my work," he said, calling a few people out the door.

I rushed downstairs and discovered a black well at the foot of the steps outside. A swirling aura of dark energy, hidden and inscrutable, revolved there without spreading.

This is the path to the underworld.

Several ghosts calmly and skillfully jumped into the well. They soon emerged carrying a pile of things, filing into my small building and placing the items into wicker boxes.

They had instruments, scrolls, and some strange bamboo tubes.

I took a look for a while, and suddenly it dawned on me what this was!

Wasn't this taken from the Wuzhishan City ruins

They put them in the bamboo basket and turned around to float away. Before long, they came back carrying piles of things.

Those things seemed weightless in their hands, and they could float back carrying scrolls taller than themselves.

What's even more amazing is that the wicker basket was like a bottomless pit, no matter how much you put in it, it would never be full.

I lay beside the rattan chest, and saw inside three wooden panels. I took out two scrolls, and instantly, two more appeared—the whole box looked full to bursting, neat and orderly, yet endlessly abundant.

"My dear Princess, our Five Ghosts' Transportation Technique is the best in the world!"

"Oh please, you're delusional! These petty tricks and you dare call yourself the best in the world The husband of the little princess is someone who can move stars and change constellations. We dare to show off our skills"

I quickly waved my hands and said, "No, no, it's nothing like that. You guys have been so helpful with this moving technique, I am incredibly grateful… In the eyes of a mere mortal like me, it's already incredibly impressive."

“This statement seemed to please them, as they smiled at me and said: 'Princess Consort, you sure know how to speak! Hehe... we specialize in our trade. We're just good at transporting things like this crate. It belongs to us, but His Majesty has ordered us to temporarily place it here with the Princess Consort so that your precious items have a safe place to be kept.'"

I nodded hastily and said, "Thank you, thank you. I will definitely burn incense and paper for all of you later and offer plenty."

These few, proud to the point of arrogance, crossed their arms. That kindhearted ghost in a gauze hat, Zhao Gongming, reminded me, “My dear princess, please don't say you are just an ordinary person anymore…”

"Why I'm just an ordinary person."

He shook his head and said: “The so-called extraordinary people are not necessarily those with supernatural powers, but those with great opportunities. They have long been beyond the scope of ordinary people... Your Highness, you have great opportunities. You have seen celestial gods from the upper realm and married the Great Shaman King as your wife. And the Great Shaman King is a descendant of ancient revered gods, this status is not ordinary.”

"Yes, yes, the young princess is indeed kind and approachable. But please do not continue to treat yourself as an ordinary person. You must face your own opportunities so that you don't miss out on them."

"As the saying goes, one should act according to their position... The Wuzhu clan's name is already scattered abroad, living precariously under others' roofs. As the young princess, she should shoulder the responsibility and arrange proper accommodations..."

“Just now, I skimmed through a few of these books. These are all rare editions, treasures indeed! Your Highness, please take good care of them. If we break this cultural heritage, that would be the greatest sin…”

These spirits, one after another, admonished me. I listened, dazed and confused, and could only nod in agreement.

They moved for half a night, and I saw that even large items were being brought in. I figured the corridor must have been emptied.

As dawn approached, they bade me farewell. I rubbed my eyes and watched their figures fade into the distance.

They had just left, and their junior wife arrived shortly after.

She probably has developed the habit of waking up at 5 o'clock, looking energetic.

"Xiao Yinluo, have you received everything" she asked.

I nodded and asked, “Little Madam, is this the legendary Five Ghosts Carrying Wealth”

“That’s right, strictly speaking, this is the five ghosts carrying… Five ghosts bringing wealth mostly refers to feng shui formations, and many genuine masters can set them up. But the art of moving them is difficult, generally, most masters cannot control it. Some powerful masters might take a commission and perform a spell to summon them, but there’s always a backlash... What’s yours is yours, what’s not yours, if you force it, you have to pay the price.” She explained to me seriously.

“You're restless. Jiang Qiyun and my brother discussed moving these things to your place. That way, you won't have to worry about theft or the government forcibly seizing them. You're overthinking, which is bad for your health. A pregnant woman should focus her mind, stay calm, and nourish her body.” She looked at my dark circles and sighed, “Just let the Five Ghosts handle the moving. Go to sleep yourself. Why are you staying up all night”

"I'm worried about Mu Wanchen's safety and can't sleep."

The little wife pursed her lips and leaned closer, saying mysteriously, "Let me tell you a secret. Yesterday Jiang Qiyun disappeared because he went to the place of Qinghua the Great Emperor. He probably went there to ask for guidance..."id of being seen by acquaintances, she wore a short wig." The ghost kindly explained, "I have been cultivating for over two hundred years... How could I be so weak... Controlled by an ordinary sorcer...
