About 1,200 years ago, there was a merchant named Hu Chen, who was gifted and proficient in the way of merchants.

When Hu Chen was crowned, he relied on his own talent to become a rare wealthy businessman who became famous at a young age, although he did not say that he had reached the level of being rich and rivaling the country, but the scenery was also unique for a while.

Money is a thing that is very supportive no matter what dynasty it is in. Hu Chen's appearance is not bad, coupled with the nourishment of money, whether it is temperament or appearance, he is also outstanding among young people at that time.

After the career is successful, love will naturally come naturally.

When the daughter of the household secretary fell in love with the suave Hu Chen at first sight on the street, although the status of the businessman was still very low at that time, the household secretary still couldn't withstand his daughter's bitter pleading, plus Hu Chen's family background was very good, and the daughter could continue to live a life of fine clothes and food even if she got married, and finally agreed to the marriage of the two.

The life of the husband and wife after marriage can be regarded as harmonious, Hu Chen is rich, his wife has power, and with the help of his father-in-law, Hu Chen's status has also risen a lot.

Even in those years, in addition to the princes and ministers, the Hu family can be said to be the largest family in the country.

If you succeed too early in life, after getting everything you want, you will lose yourself, even if Hu Chen didn't do anything in the second half of his life at that time, the wealth he accumulated was enough for his family to have no worries about food and clothing for ten lifetimes.

But Hu Chen, who should have been satisfied, inevitably fell into a hobby that ruined his family.

Gambling.

From ancient times to the present, winning or losing gambling has never been in your own hands. Unsurprisingly, Hu Chen, who spent a lot of money in the casino, was soon targeted by the owner of the casino.

Ordinary small casinos can't get into Hu Chen's eyes, and the actual controllers behind that famous big casino happen to be a few princes in the palace. Although they have also heard of Hu Chen, the identity of the prince is very few people in China who can make them jealous.

Hu Chen took the initiative to fall into the game, and they naturally wouldn't let it go. Although the status of the prince is much higher than that of Hu Chen, when it comes to wealth, Hu Chen's family has more property than the few of them combined.

Hu Chen has never been in contact with gambling, and naturally he doesn't know the dark box operations in the casino, plus they deliberately released water a few days ago, so that Hu Chen won a few handfuls, Hu Chen is even more obsessed with the pleasure of winning or losing in this kind of casino.

The casino saw that the situation was almost over, and began to take measures to close the net, and in just half a month, Hu Chen not only spit out all the money he won, but even took part of his own family property.

Hu Chen has been crisscrossing the mall for many years, and he has rarely failed, so he is naturally unwilling to admit defeat.

In addition, under the stimulation of everyone, Hu Chen began to take out more family property to bet, trying to win back all the losses he had lost before.

In his heart, gambling is indeed a win and a loss, and the few losses may just be his bad luck, but when he wins, he shows his strength.

Once this kind of psychology appears, it is the beginning of danger.

Finally, after Hu Chen kept placing bets, the last penny of his family was thrown into the casino.

It's just that Hu Chen, whose family is broken, if he stops here, with his age and talent, it is only a matter of time before he makes a comeback.

But Hu Chen, who was already obsessed with ghosts at that time, always wanted to win back the money in the casino.

His obsession at that time was so great that it attracted some crooked ghost cultivators to give him advice.

Ghost cultivation is such a thing, the cultivation path is too fierce and vicious, and it will use some very human means to make people die in great pain, and then absorb the pain in their soul to help themselves cultivate.

A ghost cultivator proposed to Hu Chen that Hu Chen kill his wife with his own hands, seal his wife's body with a stone statue, and then build an ancient tomb to bury the stone statue in it, and then use the ancient secret method to leave Hu Chen's wife's soul at home, so that his wife's soul can be at home and help Hu Chen be invincible.

When Hu Chen first heard this method, he was naturally unwilling.

He has been with his wife for many years, and he has three children under his knees, so he naturally has a deep relationship.

But at that time, Hu Chen had to endure the pain of losing money every day, and the temptation of the bursts of cheers of gamblers in the casino to win, and when he went home, he had to see his wife who was in tears at home.

Finally, Hu Chen couldn't resist the temptation and agreed to the method of ghost cultivation.

One night, while his wife was asleep, Hu Chen strangled her with a ribbon with his own hands, and then transported his wife's body to the present-day Yunnan border with the ghost Xiu, where the ghost Xiu had already ordered someone to repair a large tomb.

After pouring his wife's body with cement and sealing it in the tomb, Ghost Xiu and Hu Chen returned to their home, and set up a formation at home, leaving his wife's soul at home to help Hu Chen.

The secret method of ghost cultivation is naturally insidious and vicious, but it is indeed very useful.

With the blessing of the secret method, Hu Chen, who returned to the casino, found the feeling of being invincible in every gamble, even if several princes joined forces to play the game, they couldn't stop Hu Chen's victory.

But greed is not enough to swallow the elephant, Hu Chen was not satisfied after winning back his original wealth, but instead intensified his gambling money, wanting to win more wealth in this effortless way.

It's just that he didn't know that every time he won in this way, his wife's soul would be resentful and change in the direction of the evil spirit.

After the ghost cultivator found out that he was about to lose control of Hu Chen's wife's spirit, he didn't dare to tell Hu Chen the truth, but secretly left the Hu family by himself.

Losing the balance of the ghost cultivation secret method, coupled with Hu Chen's gambling getting bigger and bigger, making more and more money, soon his wife was completely reduced to an evil spirit and broke free from the shackles of the secret method.

Although the soul is still conscious after death, after becoming an evil spirit, it will forget everything in life and only know killing.

She killed everyone in the Hu family overnight, Hu Chen, Hu Chen's parents, and her three children.

And it was also on this night that a cultivator who traveled all over the world found that there was a lot of resentment here, and calculated that if no one stopped him, after killing the Hu family, the resentment on this resentful spirit would only be greater, and the next person to suffer from the murder could only be the rest of the people in the city.

So this cultivator came here, ready to take action to disperse the evil spirits and save the innocent people here.

But after seeing the evil spirit, knowing the ins and outs of the matter, this cultivator was a little hesitant.

The evil spirit was a young lady from a large family before her death, innocent, and never had any bad intentions, even if Hu Chen lost all his family property, so that the Hu family fell from a luxurious mansion to a country cottage overnight, and he was even willing to accompany Hu Chen to make a comeback.

Even if she has become an evil spirit now and has killed so many people, the cultivator feels that she should not be so lost.

The most important point is that the evil spirit was even pregnant before death, and for some reason, the child in the womb remained vital after death.

Practitioners have never seen such a situation before, but since there is still a life, no matter what the circumstances, they cannot be allowed to pass away.

So the practitioner used a spell to take out the child from the evil spirit's body.

I was already prepared that the child was not a normal person, but I didn't expect that after birth, he was indeed an ordinary human baby, and there was no trace of evil spirit aura on his body.

While lamenting how miraculous this event was, the cultivators also made up their minds to send evil spirits into reincarnation.

However, because the ghost cultivator had suppressed the evil spirit for too long, the resentment of the evil spirit was too strong now, and the cultivator had tried many ways, but he could not send it to the reincarnation path of reincarnation.

So the cultivators had to use a method that was only recorded in the book, and according to legend, there was a piece of jade on the Kunlun Mountain that existed when the world was opened, so that people's souls could live in it and not die for thousands of years.

The cultivator asked a friend to help, took a part of the jade from Kunlun Mountain, made a jade statue of a woman, used it as a medium to seal the evil spirit in it, and buried it deep in the ground, ready to wait until a hundred years later, when the evil spirit's resentment should have been mostly consumed, and then forcibly sent into the reincarnation path should not be so difficult.

It's just that fate is really a creation to make people.

The child that the cultivator took out that night later left his hometown and came to the land of Jiangnan.

Probably due to inheriting his father's talent for business, the child soon became a wealthy man in the wealthy Jiangnan region, established another Hu family, and passed it on for a long time.

And because of his own background, the child also made a family rule, no one in the family is allowed to be involved in gambling, otherwise he will be expelled from the family.

Seeing that everything was on the right track, the child was not contaminated with cause and effect, but spent his life safely and enjoyed his old age in peace.

But I didn't expect that after about three or four hundred years, the contemporary head of the Hu family did not resist the temptation, became addicted to gambling, and lost all his family property like Hu Chen.

The younger brother of the head of the family of that generation is named Hu Xianyu.

Hu Xianyu is an expert in tomb robbing, he has a deep relationship with his brother, and in order to avoid his brother being expelled from the family, he is also afraid that the Hu family will fall.

At the age of more than half a hundred, he can only take risks again, trying to go down to the tomb to find some rare treasures that can save the family.

But this time he only brought back a jade statue carved with a delicate-looking woman.

Hu Xianyu told his brother that he didn't need other treasures, and only needed this jade statue to save the family.

Immediately, he locked himself and the jade statue in the ancestral hall dedicated to the elders of the family, signed a blood contract with the jade statue for life and life, and used his own flesh and blood to nourish the soul in the jade statue.

And in this way, after absorbing the flesh and blood of countless reincarnated people, the jade statue will return to the world in a future life, and no one knows what it will bring to the world at that time.

Seeing that eight or nine hundred years have passed, when Hu Xianyu arrives in this life, as long as he signs a blood contract with the jade statue and supports the jade statue for a lifetime, the soul of the woman in the jade statue can escape from the jade statue and reincarnate as a human.

It's just that the reincarnation of Hu Xianyu's generation seems to be different from before, and he doesn't remember the original oath, so the jade statue can't sign a contract with it for a long time.

So the jade statue cast a curse, causing his children and family members to contract a strange disease that would surely die, and deliberately destroying his family estate.

If he doesn't make a decision, he doesn't even have to get addicted to gambling, and he will quickly end up ruined.

This generation of Hu Xianyu didn't want to sit still like this, and by chance he met a master, and this master happened to know the ins and outs of this matter.

So this master took the reincarnation of Hu Xianyu's generation and the evil spirit to find the cultivator who had sealed the evil spirit into the jade statue.
