Night was gradually falling.
Qian Family Village.
The village was surnamed Qian simply because its landlord was surnamed Qian, yet unfortunately, the currently massive Qian Family was now completely devoid of people.
Stepping into it, a bone-chilling ghost qi drifted over. Though Zhong Bai felt somewhat panicked inside, he tried his best to keep himself calm.
"Disciple, do not fear. This ghost bride has merely transformed into a vengeful ghost for a short while, and her own strength cannot be considered very strong; she has not even stepped into the ghost soldier realm.
As long as you can remain calm and collected, relying on the Five Emperors Copper Coin Sword in your hand, the opponent absolutely cannot do a thing to you!"
Well, this was True Immortal Qianyuan's voice transmission. That was right, the only one who had entered the Qian Family Manor was Zhong Bai.
In True Immortal Qianyuan's words, as a Mount Mao true immortal at the Foundation Establishment Peak, if he dealt with a vengeful ghost that had not even stepped into the ghost soldier realm, if word really got out, he would be laughed to death by the cultivation world.
So...
The task naturally fell upon Zhong Bai. The master has his duties, and the disciple performs the labor.
Though apprehensive, Zhong Bai did not refuse either. Wielding the Five Emperors Copper Coin Sword and carrying some talismans, he came to the Qian Manor.
"Ghostly entities of the world, from wandering spirits that are harmless to humans and livestock, to vengeful ghosts with certain abilities, and then to ghost soldiers, ghost generals, ghost kings...
Fortunately, this is merely a vengeful ghost comparable to around the third layer of Qi Refinement. Not entering the ghost soldier realm, her means are singular; if I am careful, dealing with her won't be difficult."
Silently cheering himself on, Zhong Bai's inner state settled down much more.
However, just as Zhong Bai's mind and spirit relaxed, a resentful female voice slowly drifted over.
"Are you also a person of the Qian family?"
Following closely, ghost qi churned, and a flash of bright red appeared right in front of Zhong Bai.
The woman was still in the appearance of a wedding dress. Outwardly, her features appeared unchanged, but Zhong Bai had opened his Dharma Eye when he entered. At this moment, from his perspective, the woman before him was charred all over, and the sight of her flesh torn open was enough to make one unable to stop retching.
If it were an ordinary person, they certainly would have found it hard to endure, but Zhong Bai was nonchalant.
"This poor Taoist is Qian He, from Mount Mao!"
Boom!
As soon as the two words "Mount Mao" left his mouth, the wedding dress ghostess in front of him froze slightly.
"Mount Mao... So you've come to stop me from getting my revenge!"
|"The Qian family members are already dead, and your revenge has also been finished. The current you is not suited to continue lingering in the mortal world."
"You're dreaming! Not a single person in the village was a good one. They all knew I was innocent, yet they all watched with open eyes as I was burned to death alive. I won't let a single one of them go!"
"Sigh, fine words cannot persuade a damned ghost..."
Zhong Bai sighed. He had given her a chance; anyway, his own master's words had been delivered, it was just that the opponent simply didn't care at all.
Yes, according to Zhong Bai's own thoughts, he wouldn't bother talking nonsense. Upon meeting, it was straight to action, but his master had given him a heads-up beforehand: if the other party was willing to enter the underworld for reincarnation, then he should spare her life.
Zhong Bai could understand his master, because his master was a genuine person of this era.
As for himself...
Ahem, although he had come to this world for several years, Zhong Bai clearly knew that the only things he cared about were his deceased parents and Mount Mao.
As for other people, even if they were pitiful, Zhong Bai at most felt a sentimental sigh, much like hearing a story back then.
Without the slightest warning, the Five Emperors Copper Coin Sword in Zhong Bai's hand turned into a streak of light, and after infusing it with true essence, it shot out!
The wedding dress ghostess did not expect that they were just negotiating a moment ago, and as soon as the word "no" was spoken, why had a flying sword come over.
Too late to think more, the wedding dress ghostess also felt the threat coming from the Five Emperors Copper Coin Sword. She sidestepped, wanting to dodge, but was ultimately half a beat too late.
The Five Emperors Copper Coin Sword pierced directly through the wedding dress ghostess's arm. The searing pain caused the wedding dress ghostess to completely shed her disguise, and her ferocious expression was filled with killing intent toward Zhong Bai!
"Damned little Daoist, you're looking for death!"
Breaking her arm to survive, the wedding dress ghostess was extremely resolute. Zhong Bai was somewhat disappointed; he had thought a single move could solve the opponent. It seemed he had still thought too simply.
"Invisibility!"
As the wedding dress ghostess's entire ghost body plunged into the ghost qi, Zhong Bai felt that his Dharma Eye was somewhat awkward.
Well, it could only clearly see a three-meter radius...
"You're really forcing me to use my trump card."
Helpless, Zhong Bai, who did not know where the opponent was hiding, removed the bamboo tube from his waist.
Without hesitation, he forcefully splashed it all around. Accompanied by a burst of shrill screams, the wedding dress ghostess's body, hidden within the ghost qi, reappeared once more.
"How does this taste?"
Zhong Bai chuckled. Knowing that she had been burned to death alive, during the daytime Zhong Bai had prepared his own virgin boy's urine, with cinnabar mixed into the urine.
To the wedding dress ghostess, encountering it was like sulfuric acid. With nowhere to hide, her invisibility was easily broken by Zhong Bai.
In a house a few hundred meters away.
True Immortal Qianyuan, who was secretly observing through his divine sense, was also somewhat helpless. This disciple of his was usually extremely respectful and he had thought he was a steady sort, but now it appeared he could truly wield any method as smoothly as his own arm.
In True Immortal Qianyuan's eyes, virgin boy's urine truly lacked a bit of decorum...
However, to be fair, the effect was also genuinely good. For a wedding dress ghostess who hadn't even stepped into the ghost soldier realm, it was a sharp weapon!
Strike while the iron is hot and take her life.
Zhong Bai reached out and gripped, the Five Emperors Copper Coin Sword once again radiating a golden luster. With a single sword thrust, the Five Emperors Copper Coin Sword instantly plunged into the wedding dress ghostess's head.
Ghost qi rapidly poured out, the wedding dress ghostess's body trembled continuously yet it was to no avail, and she could only watch helplessly as she was burned away little by little by the yang energy contained within the Five Emperors Copper Coin Sword, finally dissipating...
Originally, slaughtering this wedding dress ghostess should have made Zhong Bai very excited, but at this moment, after slaying the wedding dress ghostess, Zhong Bai was bizarrely stunned.
The reason was very simple; right in front of him, a data panel appeared before his eyes.
Slain one wedding dress ghostess, obtained 50 exorcism points!
Cultivation Technique: Divine Firmament Five Thunder Art, Status: Deductible. Current deduction conversion: 1:1
Zhong Bai was dumbfounded. After rubbing his eyes hard, he still found it somewhat hard to believe.
Was this his cheat system?
Yet, he had already come to this world for four years, and now his cheat system had finally arrived?
No matter how stormy his heart was, Zhong Bai could only suppress that urge to explore. The most urgent matter was still to resolve the current scene first, and then carefully study it after returning to Mount Mao.
Slaughtering the wedding dress ghostess did not mean the matter was over. Within the entire Qian Manor, the number of people who died because of this affair was not small.
If Zhong Bai left now, there was no guarantee that another vengeful ghost wouldn't pop up someday.
By then, Mount Mao would have to make another trip. Therefore, to settle the matter once and for all, Zhong Bai needed to let the wandering spirits hidden within the Qian Manor all attain rebirth.
"Supreme imperial decree, deliver your lonely souls, ghosts and demons of all kinds, the four births receive grace. Those with heads cross over, those without heads ascend, gun-executed and knife-slain, drowned and hanging-roped. Bright deaths and dark deaths, grievances and wrongful deaths, debtors and enemies, life-claiming lads. Kneel before my altar, the Eight Trigrams emit light, stand at Kan and burst forth, attain rebirth elsewhere. Whether male or female, bear it yourselves, wealth or poverty, brought upon by your own accord. Decree to save these multitudes, hasten to attain rebirth, decree to save these multitudes, hasten to attain rebirth."
Accompanied by the end of Zhong Bai's Rebirth Incantation chant, the surrounding ghost qi began to dissipate bit by bit. The wandering spirits hidden in the dark began to emerge—there were men and women, old and young. The numbness on their faces began to recede, replaced instead by a sense of relief.
Soon, the crowd of wandering spirits gradually vanished, and Zhong Bai could be considered to have completed his master's instructions.
Liberated wandering spirits ×26, obtained 260 exorcism points
Current exorcism points: 310
Looking at the text that suddenly appeared on the panel before him, Zhong Bai was somewhat jubilant. He had thought that only by performing exorcisms could he obtain exorcism points, but he hadn't expected that sending these wandering spirits to reincarnate would work as well.
Well, this was certainly good news. If he lacked exorcism points in the future, sending departed souls to rebirth was much faster than slaying demons and ghosts, and the risk was even lower.
