A confusing mix of emotions washed over me, making me feel as if something was stuck in my throat, causing my eyes to heat up and threatening to spill tears.
Emotion ghost?!
Qijia Village has only one Emotion Ghost, that old woman!
She had actually left home and arrived at the village entrance?
I understood the reason instantly. The leader said that Qijia Village was spreading outward.
The old woman wanted to see her son, and with the village expanding, the village entrance was now as close to her son as possible!
The rest of the nine low classes, their movements became extremely lagging, and each person seemed to have a heavy heart and aching sorrow.
The leader's face was pale, and he was somewhat better, still trying to resist.
I realized then why those piles of bones were there!
When the old woman cried, people lost their ability to move, naturally allowing the hungry ghosts to feast on them with glee.
It was just good luck that people could come out before!
At that moment, all the hungry ghosts were watching us with fierce eyes. The two small ghosts on the ground lifted their heads, half of their faces covered in blood, with eyes that were particularly bloodthirsty and yearning.
I suddenly felt a chill run down my spine and wanted to take out the Yinshan bamboo paper to tell the old woman that I had found her son...
But this time, the old woman was crying without distinction, and I was affected just the same...
It was as if she didn't want to trust me at all!
The feeling of sorrow and melancholy grew stronger, and I couldn't help but see some tragic scenes flashing past my eyes.
After killing Sun Dahai, and pulling out the ground Qi from Sun Zhuo, and knowing that the skinless ghost was not my mother, many things were no longer enough to make me suffer.
But somehow, my heart still felt uncomfortable.
The Emotion Ghost attacks a person's seven emotions and six desires!
It seems that something big is about to happen!
Suddenly, a voice like a bell echoed throughout.
"Yuán Jun Cunchì, quickly manifest your true form. If you dare to resist, your head will be severed by the Four Elegance!"
"Yè Zhǔndōnghù Shāntāi Tiānqí, hurry and summon Huángmén Kāng Tàibǎo!"
The incantation was unmistakably from the mouth of Han Zhizi.
It seems like a loud explosion, but in fact, there is no sound in my ears.
The sound was like it had exploded in my mind.
In the periphery of my vision, a white figure suddenly appeared in front of a dilapidated small courtyard on the right. Isn't that the old woman of the White Heart Ghost?
She stared at all of us blankly, her tears flowing endlessly.
Previously, we couldn't see this old woman.
It was the incantation from Han Zhizi that allowed her to manifest herself!
Otherwise, many people would have died without knowing how they died.
Everything happened too quickly, and the hungry ghosts were already coming towards us.
The incantation only made the old woman manifest, without any other effects.
"La…… senior, please help me…" I was struggling to endure the inner turmoil and speak.
However, Han Zhizi did not pay attention to me. He stepped forward towards the old woman and shouted, "Extinguish the ghost's arrogance, slay the evil and calamity! Haste as commanded by Marshal Yu of the Fengdu Ghost Extermination Army!"
His arms abruptly crossed, and he forcefully swung them out!
The copper sword slices through two streams of yellow light, unobstructed, and penetrates the old woman's head and chest!
With a rustling sound, the old woman was nailed to the ground!
The cries of sorrow were stopped, and she suddenly screamed in agony.
The two copper swords did not disperse her directly. White smoke kept rising from her body, and gray Qi kept spreading out at the same time. She was gradually becoming weaker.
Han Zhizi's Daoist techniques are far more refined than Sun Zhuo's!
I've gained quite a bit of knowledge; not dispersing the ghost directly, but using the evil-averting copper sword to continuously consume its soul.
It's likely that when it finally disperses, it will only be an unconscious ghostly soul left!
As the head of regulation, Han Zhizi's strength is terrifying!
However, this did not end everything.
The hungry ghosts had approached to their closest.
After the old woman was subdued, the other nine low classes regained their mobility and surrounded us, forming a circle in the center to protect us. Each of them held a copper bell and shook it vigorously!
The harsh and jangling sound of the bells erupted, which were the old woman's calming soul bells, and clearly have a gap from Mao San's crash bell. The hungry ghosts only paused for a moment before staggering forward again.
Although their speed was slower, once they got closer, they would likely start shedding blood!
The leader was digging into his pocket, as if to pull out some object.
Han Zhizi suddenly bent his legs slightly, then forcefully leaped into the air!
"Sky, Earth, Wind, Thunder, Water, Fire, Mountain, Lake!"
"Greedy, Giant, Riches, Literary, Honest, Martial, Destroy."
"Left Aid to fight the evil, Right Aid to exterminate the ghosts!"
"Hurry! As per the law!"
In mid-air, Han Zhizi abruptly spun around and a scattering of sounds followed. The paper symbols rained down like flowers from heaven!
These symbols were more like hot irons, heavily striking the hungry ghosts, causing them to fall to the ground with continuous cries of agony!
The next second, Han Zhizi landed heavily.
He casually touched his waist and picked up the broom, which he hung over his elbow.
This scene indeed surprised me.
The group of nine low classes were even more dumbfounded.
The leader's breathing was slightly heavy as he raised his hands in a gesture of respect and said, "Master Han's techniques are like a dimensional strike against these ghostly blood avenges. It is us who have shown our inadequacy, making Master Han laugh at us."
"Collect these ghosts and I will have the City God Temple handle it," Han Zhai did not say much else, just issued an order.
"Go!" The leader ordered immediately!
My heart raced as I walked directly towards the old woman.
Ghosts themselves cannot be beaten into soul scattering, they can either be suppressed into becoming unconscious spirits, with no ability to harm people, or they can be sent beyond the boundary to the afterlife, where they may suffer in hell or be reborn as humans or animals, depending on their previous life.
Han Zhizi is not planning to suppress the ghosts, but to give a favor to Huang Shu?
With so many evil ghosts, having them pass beyond the boundary to the City God Temple would undoubtedly benefit Huang Shu.
Thoughts aside, I approached the old woman.
The old woman was still being tortured by the two copper swords. She emitted more white gas, and the gray gas was constantly moving around her body. She would collapse soon.
“Cheater… Cheater…”
"You… cheater…"
Along with the screams and cries of pain, the faint condemnation of the old woman reached my ears…
As expected… time had passed, and along with the changes in Qijia Village, the old woman had lost her trust in me.
It's likely that this has something to do with her son not being by my side.
Since I didn't take care of her affairs during my previous entries into Qijia Village, she would even go against me.
"I have found your son."
"You need to come with me."
"I will take you to meet him."
I spoke with certainty and quickly took out the Yinshan bamboo paper that had been stained by the old woman's eyebrow blood.
Originally, the old woman appeared to be very resentful and did not believe me.
The next second, she stared blankly at the paper.
I quickly folded a paper man out of the paper and threw it in front of the old woman, then immediately pulled out the copper swords from her body.
"Come in!" I whispered.
The old woman trembled. Her weak soul, on the verge of collapsing, was about to slip into the paper figure.
Just then, a crackling symbol shot out and struck the old woman's head!
With a wail, her body twisted abruptly and was yanked into the symbol.
The paper formed a ball and landed on the ground with a thud!
I turned abruptly, and behind me stood an elderly man, about sixty years old, dressed in the garb of the ghost witch.
"What are you doing!?" I glared at him, unable to contain my anger!
