Chapter 381: Bashan Ghost King
Chapter 381: Bashan Ghost King
Last time, we talked about how Li Yi, who was originally a disciple of the Xiang family, was pulled by Xiang Ying to deal with a haunted incident. However, this incident aroused his suspicion. He did not need to take action on such a small matter. Mo Bai could solve it alone. But why did Xiang Ying ask him to come forward? Let's read on.
Seeing that Li Yi was furious, Xiang Ying had no choice but to tell him what happened. After the double cultivation last night, Xiang Ying asked Li Yi to teach her how to play chess. The latter perfunctorily wrote a set of chess manuals for her, and she started to study it herself, but soon she fell asleep at the table.
In the dream, Xiang Ying was patrolling the streets and met an old woman. The old woman told her that her whole family was harmed by an evil ghost and begged her to help her family get revenge, otherwise she would not be able to reincarnate peacefully.
Li Yi asked, "That's not right. Why did the woman send you a dream? You are a warrior, and you don't know how to catch ghosts."
"That's what I told the old woman, but she said you could do it, so she asked me to ask you for help."
"Then why didn't she just send me a dream?"
Xiang Ying said unhappily: "I asked her too, and she said that you have a righteous spirit, and she can't get close to you, so she can only look for me."
"If it's such a simple matter, why can't you just say it?"
"The old woman said she had a grudge against you. If you knew who she was, I'm afraid she wouldn't help you."
"What a joke! How could I possibly have a grudge against an old woman?"
"Yes! I told her that too, but she said you wanted to kill her when you came to Chu."
"I came to Chu to kill an old woman. How could I possibly kill an old woman...wait!" Li Yi suddenly remembered that he had thought about avenging Shi Yu when he came to Western Chu. Thinking of this, he immediately asked, "Did that woman stay at the Washing Women's Division?"
Xiang Ying was surprised and asked, "Hey, how do you know? Do you really want to kill her? What is the grudge between you and her?"
"Tell me your dream from beginning to end."
Xiang Ying began to tell her dream. In the dream, she was walking leisurely in Yanzhi Lane. The busy street was suddenly empty. She immediately became alert and carefully observed the movements around her. An old woman in a green robe walked up to her and knelt on the ground and kowtowed repeatedly.
"Hey, hey, hey, Auntie, what are you doing? Why are you kowtow to me for no reason?"
"Captain Xiang, my entire family of seven has been killed by a vicious ghost. My youngest grandson is only three years old. I would like to ask you to avenge our family!"
"Harmed by a ghost? Are you a ghost too? No, even if what you said is true, I can't catch ghosts. You have to ask the Wu Gu Cult for this matter...
Um, it seems that all the members of the Wu Gu Cult were killed by Wei Le, so you can't find them. Then it's no use for you to come to me, you have to find someone who can catch ghosts!"
"I watched helplessly as my little grandson's soul was taken away by a fierce ghost, but I was powerless to do anything. My heart was filled with grief and indignation.
Captain Xiang, there is someone who can catch ghosts around you. Please ask him to help our family get revenge, so that I, an old woman, can be reincarnated peacefully. "
"Is there someone around me who can catch ghosts? Who is it? How come I don't know about it?"
"It's the Wei Le that Xiang Siwei mentioned before, Master Wei, no, Doctor Wei!"
"Wei Le can catch ghosts? Hey, since you know he can catch ghosts, why don't you go find him directly? Why are you looking for me?"
"Doctor Wei has a righteous body. With my limited spiritual power, I can't even get close to him. There's no way I can find him. Besides, even if I find him, if he knows who I am, I'm afraid he won't avenge me."
"What do you mean by that?"
“To be honest with you, Captain Xiang, I used to work as a nanny in the laundry department, and I beat and scolded many prisoners and female slaves, but that was also to make a living, so I had to do it out of necessity.
Doctor Wei invited the fairy Chang'e from the Moon Palace to worship the moon during the Lower Yuan Festival, and I saw her. But when I saw the fairy Chang'e's appearance, I almost lost my soul!"
"How could the fairy Chang'e, who is so beautiful, scare you?"
"That fairy Chang'e looks a lot like a slave girl I taught more than a decade ago! That slave girl was the daughter of the Prime Minister of Han, named Fang Shiyu. Later, when the three kingdoms divided Han, Fang Shiyu was handed over to the Northern Wei. I heard that she changed her surname, removed the "Fang" character, and changed her name to Wan Shiyu, saying that she wanted to remember the revenge for her father's murder."
"What does the revenge for the murder of her father have to do with you? You didn't kill her father! Wait, Wan Shiyu, this name is so familiar! I seem to have heard it somewhere. Li Yi! The wife of the Northern Wei Dynasty's Yuefu Ling! Are you saying that Li Yi's wife looks like Chang'e?
Wait, wait, let me explain. Wei Le and Li Yi are brothers, they both like Fairy Chang'e, and Li Yi found a woman who looks very similar to Fairy Chang'e as his wife. Well, this makes sense, please continue. "
The old woman looked at Xiang Ying helplessly and said, "The key is that I recently heard that Wan Shiyu, the wife of Li Yuefu of the Northern Wei Dynasty, passed away."
"Dead? Are you trying to say that the evil spirit that harmed your family was Wan Shiyu? Impossible! Although I have never met Li Yi, I know from Wei Le that with their abilities, how could they turn her wife into an evil spirit?"
"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. I heard that after Shiyu died, the Li family didn't hold a funeral ceremony, and didn't remarry. They just told the public that the eldest lady went back to her parents' home, which means she went back to the Moon Palace."
"You said Shiyu is Chang'e? How is that possible!" Xiang Ying suddenly remembered that when Yuehua saw the fairy Chang'e, she called her sister-in-law. Xiang Ying knew the relationship between Yuehua and Li Yi. In this case, Shiyu might really be Chang'e!
Thinking of this, Xiang Ying's strange brain circuit suddenly lit up! She exclaimed: "Oh no, Wei Le may not know this yet. If he knew that Chang'e was Li Yi's wife, would he go straight to the Northern Wei Dynasty?
Oh, with his temper that's even more violent than mine, he will definitely go straight to Li Yi and fight him to the death! This won't do, he has a destiny now, he can't be allowed to leave, and he can't be allowed to know about this!"
"Yes, yes, that's what I meant. If Doctor Wei knew that Shiyu was Chang'e, and I had been violent towards Shiyu, I'm afraid he wouldn't help me! So I beg Captain Xiang to keep this secret for me. Just ask him to help catch the ghost and don't mention me."
"Hey, I can choose not to look for him. Is there no one else who can deal with this evil spirit? I don't believe it. I will go and look for the royal family. There are wizards there too. I can ask them for help. Okay, Auntie, I will remember your story. I will find a way to avenge you."
"Thank you very much, Captain Xiang. When you wake up, soldiers will come to find you. What they want to talk about is my business. Thank you for your concern!" After saying this, the old woman turned into light smoke and disappeared.
Xiang Ying woke up soon, and just as the old woman said, the officers and soldiers from the patrol camp came to find Xiang Ying and asked her to go back to the garrison to investigate the case, and the investigation led them to this yard.
Xiang Ying confirmed that the old woman's dream was true, and immediately asked a wizard to check, but the wizard said that there was no ghost in the courtyard, so Xiang Ying filed a missing person case. Xiang Ying had no choice but to call Li Yi.
Xiang Ying said seriously: "Don't worry, Wei Le, Shiyu is Chang'e, and I will never tell anyone that you were cuckolded!
Also, I will never do such a thing. Also, although Jing Xin admires Li Yi, she will not let you down. I will definitely help you look after her! But you have to be careful of Qu Xia. "
After hearing this, Li Yi pinched his brows and thought that only you, Xiang Ying, could have the weird idea that I was cheated on. I'm afraid no one else would think so. Since the old lady's whole family is dead and Shiyu doesn't intend to pursue it, let it go.
Xiang Ying saw the relief in Li Yi's eyes and immediately asked, "Are you willing to take action against this evil spirit?"
Li Yi waved his hand and said: "No, even if it is the Ghost King, I don't need to do it myself. Since the old woman asked you to do it, you can do it." As he said that, Li Yi took out the laurel wood sword and threw it to Xiang Ying.
The latter took the wooden sword and asked, "Me? Can I kill ghosts with this sword?"
"I was going to teach you the law of fate, so let's put it into practice this time. Let's go inside and see what kind of ghost this is that dares to cause trouble in Kyoto."
The two pushed the door open and entered the house, only to see the furnishings neatly arranged and spotless, as if someone cleaned it every day. Li Yi reached out and touched the table, and asked, "Did you ask the neighbors how long it has been since they saw anyone coming in and out of here?"
"I asked, it's been about seven or eight days. The ghost screams at night have only appeared in the past two or three days."
"It's a female water ghost. Humph, maybe it's the woman who was harmed by the old woman who turned into an evil ghost and came to seek revenge on her."
"How did you know it was a female water ghost? Just because this place is clean?"
"Water ghosts like cold and damp places. If no one cleans a house for seven or eight days, there will be a layer of dust. You can touch the beams, there will be no dust on them."
Xiang Ying leaped up, reached out and touched the top of the beam, and indeed there was no dust at all. She nodded to Li Yi.
"That female ghost lives here as if it were her own home. There are no spirits in this house, but there are in the well water. Therefore, it can be determined that it is a female water ghost."
"What is Ling Xi?"
"To put it simply, it is air without spiritual energy. The Heavenly Dao protects this world, absorbs all kinds of rays and energy in the universe, and then uses the Spirit Release Technique to transform this energy into spiritual energy for the growth of us humans, animals and plants.
Heavenly thunder is a method of spiritual release. When the Lord of Heaven absorbs too much cosmic energy, he will use heavenly thunder to release the energy. The Queen of Tai'an uses geomagnetism and volcanic eruptions to release spiritual energy. This is the source of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth."
"How do you know this?"
"I have seen Master Tiandao, and he has demonstrated to me how this world was formed, so I know. There is no need to be envious, as these experiences were gained at the cost of one's life. Just like in the future, I will have to deal with the Gu God. What do you think the Gu God's strength is?"
"Since he is a god, he must be a second-grade one, right?"
"I actually thought that he only had the strength of the second rank. He is an ancient demon god. Even if his soul is incomplete, he can't reach the level of the first rank."
"Isn't that a dead end?"
"This is my fate! Well, I said I would teach you the law of fate. I talked about the spiritual energy of heaven and earth before. In addition to the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, there is another thing in this world that is also everywhere. Guess what it is?"
"Fate!"
Li Yi slapped Xiang Ying on the head and said, "Why are you being so clever at this time! It's not about fate, but water! All the water in this world comes from the Moon Star, and before Yue Lao became the God of this world, he was the patron saint of the Moon Star, so he can control all the water, and fate is achieved by influencing water."
As he spoke, Li Yi stretched out his hand and condensed a water ball in his palm, and began to demonstrate the Fate Method to Xiang Ying. While demonstrating, he said, "The Fate Method is a spell that is controlled by spiritual power and mental power, similar to witchcraft, so if you want to learn the Fate Method, you must first learn to use spiritual power."
"Don't we need to learn mental strength?"
"You are so stupid! You are a warrior, how do you control your Qi? You also use mental power!"
"Oh, if you have something to say, just talk nicely. Why are you so fierce?"
Li Yi sighed and said, "If it were in the past, it would be quite difficult for a rookie like you to feel the power of the soul. Fortunately, with this soul-forging technique, I can let you feel the spiritual power very intuitively, which saves a lot of trouble."
Before Xiang Ying could speak, Li Yi tapped Xiang Ying's soul out of her body and began to teach her how to control her spiritual power. After more than an hour, Xiang Ying felt the spiritual power.
Li Yi nodded and said, "Second Grandfather was right about you. You are more talented than Xiang Ying, but you are not working hard enough! Okay, let's go and talk to this female water ghost."
