Xiaohong went to tell the old lady that she had died a long time ago. The old lady was very tolerant and did not go directly. Xiaohong told what happened, and He Yihong knew that she had died of a sudden illness on the twelfth day of the first lunar month. The main reason was that she had not eaten a full meal for a long time, and most of the food she got was given to the old lady.

It was because she had lived with the old lady for three months after her death that the old lady became frail and sickly.

"Aunt, you will live here from now on. Although Xiaohong is not suitable to live with us permanently, she can still come to visit us from time to time." He Yihong said to the old lady.

"Awen! I am sorry for you!" The old lady said self-reproachfully, "You haven't even got married yet, and with me as a burden, how are you going to start a family in the future?"

He Yihong said, "Aunt, you don't have to worry about this. How can you not get a wife if you have money? I have saved a lot of money over the years, tens of thousands of dollars in savings, I believe there will be a girl willing to be with me. When the time comes, I can find a few servants to take care of you, no problem at all."

"Awen has become rich!" said the old lady. "Don't lie to me! If you say that just to make me feel at ease, I will be guilty of a great sin."

He Yihong took out the remaining dollars and let the old lady know that this was only a small part of it. Only then did she feel relieved.

In the afternoon, He Yihong found Fei Bao in Xiaozhu's teahouse and asked him to take him to see Uncle Jiu.

After the apprenticeship ceremony, He Yihong became Uncle Jiu's third disciple. He Yihong demonstrated his skills, and Uncle Jiu couldn't help but be amazed.

Uncle Jiu said: "I have never seen anyone cultivate internal energy to your level."

He Yihong said: "Actually, I didn't practice it myself. I met an old man who knew he didn't have much time left, so he took me in as his disciple. After teaching me for a few days, he passed on all his skills to me."

"So that's how it is." Uncle Jiu said, "With your strength, it should be easy for you to perform some Taoist magic. But if you want to learn, you still need to work hard."

"Yes!"

He Yihong came to Uncle Jiu and said flatteringly, "Master, what should we do with Xiaohong?"

Uncle Jiu put his hands behind his back and looked up at the sky, saying with a masterly look, "Since you are the one who caused this, you should just keep him!"

He Yihong's face was full of black lines. He looked so mysterious, but he actually said such a sentence.

Xiao Hai smiled and said, "Junior brother, you are still lucky! Xiao Hong is gentle and virtuous, and she is also beautiful..."

"It's a ghost!" Fei Bao said with a smile.

Xiao Hai smiled and said, "Oh! They are the same! Whether they are human or ghost, they are both beautiful, and it is comfortable to raise them!"

Uncle Jiu looked back at He Yihong and said with a smile, "Then you'll have something to take care of. People have a life span of life on earth and a life span of death. I saw yesterday that Xiaohong's life span on earth has ended, but her life span on earth has not yet ended. If she wants to be reborn as a human being, she'll have to wait at least another hundred years."

"That means she can't reincarnate?" Xiao Hai said.

Uncle Jiu nodded: "People like her usually make a living in the underworld, or their descendants set up a tablet for her and offer incense to her."

Fei Bao said, "Then can we set up a memorial tablet for her?"

Uncle Jiu said, "Of course you can, but that would require a ghost marriage, otherwise she wouldn't be able to bear the incense."

"What will happen if you have a ghost marriage? Will you never be able to marry and have children in the future?" Xiao Hai asked.

Uncle Jiu said, "It's okay after the ghost marriage, as long as the wife you marry doesn't mind. The ghost marriage is just to give Xiaohong a place to stay so that she won't become a wandering ghost. Most wandering ghosts, because their life span has not yet ended and they don't want to stay in the underworld, stay in the human world for a long time. Most of them will do bad things to increase their cultivation, and a small number will find a place to practice in peace and quiet."

"Besides ghost marriage?" He Yihong asked.

Uncle Jiu said, "If Xiaohong doesn't care about her cultivation, then just let her enter the magic weapon and let her come out less often to avoid scaring others."

He Yihong smiled and said, "Then please ask Master to make a magic weapon!"

Uncle Jiu said, "Go buy a good jade pendant."

"Yes!"

There is no need to buy a jade pendant. He Yihong found a lot of jade ornaments in Murong's house in the world of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". He went to get a jade pendant.

After Uncle Jiu got the jade pendant, he said in surprise: "You want to use this jade pendant as a magic weapon?"

He Yihong asked doubtfully: "Can't it be used?"

Uncle Jiu said, "Although I am not very knowledgeable about jade, the appearance and patterns of this jade are obviously from the Tang and Song dynasties. If I sell it, I'm afraid it will cost tens of thousands of dollars."

"So expensive!" He Yihong and the other two were stunned.

"You don't know?" Seeing that He Yihong was also surprised, Uncle Jiu was also a little confused.

He Yihong shook his head and lied, "I don't know. I brought this back from abroad."

Uncle Jiu sighed and said, "It seems that this is an antique that has been lost. It would be a pity to use such a good thing as a magic weapon. Never mind! I will go shopping with you!"

Uncle Jiu took He Yihong and the other two to stroll around the town. Finally, they picked out a jade pendant and He Yihong paid 13 dollars for it.

Magical instruments are not that easy to make. Uncle Jiu said it would take at least five or six days. He Yihong hired a maid and gave her one dollar a month to take care of the old lady. As for Xiaohong, she temporarily lived with Uncle Jiu.

After dinner, Fei Bao said to He Yihong: "I plan to go to Mr. Zhu's house now and settle Xiaozhu's matter as soon as possible."

He Yihong said, "Mr. Zhu will probably ask you where the money came from. How about this! Just tell him that I plan to buy a shop to do business, and you and Xiao Hai are helpers. This money is the salary I advance to you."

"Are you really planning to open a store?" Xiao Hai asked.

"Yup!"

That night, Fei Bao went to see Mr. Zhu with 30 dollars.

"Future father-in-law, this is the betrothal gift for Xiaozhu." Fei Bao took out thirty dollars and said with a smile.

Master Zhu looked at Dayang in surprise and asked curiously, "Where did you get so much money?"

Fei Bao smiled and said, "My master has accepted a new disciple..." Then he looked at Xiao Zhu and said, "It's He Yihong, the one you met this morning. He gave me money. He plans to buy a shop along the street and open a business..."

Fei Bao repeated what He Yihong had said before. Although Mr. Zhu was a little unhappy, Xiaozhu and Fei Bao were engaged after all, so he had to agree.

Master Zhu said, "Then go back and ask your master to choose an auspicious day to prepare to marry Xiaozhu!"

"Thank you, father-in-law!" Fei Bao thanked him excitedly, and then looked at Xiao Zhu happily. Xiao Zhu was also very happy.

"Alright, alright! Go back quickly!" Master Zhu angrily ordered them to leave.
