"Chen Daochang, these wandering souls on the road at night, where do they stay during the day?"
I pointed to the wandering souls on the road and asked Chen Yuanshan.
"I've mentioned it before. Ghosts can only come out at night because they fear sunlight. Sunlight can harm their souls and spirits, leading to their destruction. During the day, ghosts hide in uninhabited old houses, abandoned factories, or some unknown dim corners to rest, just like how we humans need to rest and sleep at night.
However, there are also some special ghosts whose souls have mutated, making them unafraid of sunlight. These ghosts can appear during the day, meaning that seeing ghosts during the day is also possible."
Chen Yuanshan patiently explained to me.
"Chen Daochang, if a person doesn't have the Heavenly Eye, can they still see the existence of ghosts?"
I continued to ask.
"No, ghosts are still a kind of magnetic field existence. Ghosts with heavy yin and resentment have a larger magnetic field. Humans also have a magnetic field. When a ghost deliberately influences your brain's magnetic field with its own, you will see its existence. In other words, even without the Heavenly Eye, you can still see ghosts.
The magnetic field of the ghost that affects your brain determines which ghost you will see. Ghosts generally don't use their magnetic field to affect strangers' brain fields. Ghosts, as a rule, won't bother you if you don't actively provoke them. If you provoke them, they will cling to you. Like humans, they seek revenge. Ghosts are also graded, including ghost soldiers, ghost spirits, ghost generals, ghost marshals, ghost kings, and ghost emperors. Only ghost generals and above can influence a person's brain's magnetic field. Ghost soldiers and ghost spirits will keep a distance from people with strong positive energy.

Also, humans have three yang fires on their bodies. If ghosts accidentally touch these yang fires, they will be burned, injuring the ghost's yin body. When a ghost wants to harm you, it won't immediately hurt you. Instead, it will entangle you, use its yin energy to invade your body, and rapidly drain your yang energy. When the yang energy in your body is significantly reduced, the ghost can more easily possess or approach you."
Chen Daochang explained this to me in detail.
Back at Dao Zun Hall, I saw Xu Yan and Feng Shichao sitting in the living room, chatting. At this moment, Xu Yan's eyes were red, and she looked a bit sad.
"What's wrong with you, Yanzi?"
Chen Yuanshan looked at Xu Yan and asked Feng Shichao.
"Knowing that I'll be away for a while, she's reluctant to let me go."
Feng Shichao pointed at Xu Yan, smiling and replying.
"Yanzi, your master is willing to go for however long, so let him. You can stay here with your martial uncle. We can eat at home, or if you don't want to, martial uncle can take you out for hot pot or barbecue."
Chen Yuanshan patted Xu Yan's shoulder gently, comforting her with a smile.
After hearing Chen Yuanshan's words, Xu Yan felt much better in her heart. She held back the tears that were about to flow.
"Feeling hungry, let's go upstairs and have dinner."
Chen Yuanshan greeted all of us and walked toward the second floor.
On the second floor, I saw that the food had cooled down, so I took the dishes to the kitchen and reheated them.
