C5 Return 218

The more a person was afraid of something, the more they would think about something. The female ghost's bloody face was faintly discernible in Li Jing's mind.

Li Jing couldn't help but shiver as he subconsciously tightened his grip on his clothes. He deliberately raised his voice to speak to Zhang Changsheng.

"You keep saying that you can catch ghosts, then what exactly is this ghost?"

Zhang Changsheng had already seen through Li Jing's thoughts and laughed disdainfully.

"Scared? Want to talk about boldness? "

"Don't worry, the corridor is filled with wandering souls. As long as you do not provoke them, they will definitely not harm you. "

Upon hearing that there was dirt around him, Li Jing immediately became alert. He carefully looked around and tiptoed as if he was afraid of stepping on something.

"You mortals, what happened just now when you hit me?"

"Now I'm actually this scared. This Penniless Priest will tell you what this ghost is today. "

Zhang Changsheng helplessly shook his head, and then began to narrate.

According to Zhang Changsheng, the human body was now just a shell, but the true consciousness was the soul within the human body. Soul pigs, dogs, and people existed. After the body died, their souls would leave the body and be taken back to the underworld by the Ghosts, where they would wait for the distribution of the new body. This was the so-called Six Paths of Reincarnation.

As for the so-called ghosts, they were actually souls. However, because of various reasons, they had not returned to the Underworld, they had remained in this world.

As for the reason, there were many. Many of the souls that left the body were not taken away because of the guide's negligence. These souls, after living in the human world for a long time, would gradually lose their consciousness and become wandering souls. However, wandering souls were usually harmless to humans and could only wait for the guide to bring them back to the underworld.

There was also another type of soul that, after leaving the body, suffered great grievances and died with a trace of resentment. This grudge would cause the soul to have a strong sense of awareness, and would never forget what happened while they were alive. Even in the Underworld, it would be difficult for them to reincarnate. However, if a ghost servant neglected this soul and allowed it to remain in this world, the soul would become the so-called evil ghost. However, these ghosts would usually disappear gradually after finding their enemies and be brought back to the Underworld.

And there's one of the most powerful...

At this moment, the two of them stopped walking and raised their heads to look at the door of the 218 room. Zhang Changsheng also stopped talking and looked at the 218 room with a solemn expression.

"This is the place." Li Jing pointed to room 218.

"What a strong resentment. This Penniless Priest has not seen such a strong resentment in his long time of cultivation."

"I wonder what kind of tragic experience this female ghost had when she was alive …"

Zhang Changsheng looked at the 218 rooms and muttered to himself.

At this moment, Li Jing also began to wonder if Old Daoist Zhang was reliable. It didn't take long for the female ghost to appear.

If he was even half a step further, I would have just thrown it away. I thought to myself, "How confident are you in capturing this female ghost?"

"Do you not believe in this humble Taoist's abilities!?"

Zhang Changsheng let out a cold harrumph, pushed open the door and walked into the house.

Li Jing trembled as he looked inside. He had the nagging feeling that the ghost girl was hiding somewhere in the room, waiting for him to enter. He just stood at the door and peeked inside.

Zhang Changsheng walked around the room a few times, then took out four paper talismans from his shoulder bag and threw them into the air. The four paper talismans slowly fell to the ground and formed a circle.

Zhang Changsheng nodded his head and then took out a small incense burner and three sticks of incense from his bag.

He carefully entered the small incense burner and placed it in the middle of the circle formed by the talismans. Then he lit the incense and inserted it into the incense burner.

Li Jing really didn't understand what Zhang Changsheng was doing, so he could only look at him in a daze.

Zhang Changsheng stared fixedly at the incense. Suddenly, a gust of cold wind came from out of nowhere, and with a bang, the three incense sticks shattered into several pieces.

Li Jing was startled and quickly retreated.

Zhang Changsheng was also stunned for a moment, and then his face darkened as he cursed loudly.

"This Penniless Priest has good intentions in respecting you, yet you don't know what's good for you. Don't blame This Penniless Priest for being rude!"

As he spoke, he took out three paper talismans. These talismans were clearly larger than the previous ones and the patterns on them were also different.

Zhang Changsheng casually waved his hand as he recited, "The heavenly dao is clear and peaceful, the human way is peaceful and peaceful. The three of you are only able to help me, set up a formation to suppress demons!"

After Zhang Changsheng finished chanting the incantation, the three paper talismans that were slowly falling down suddenly flew in all directions as if they had a mind of their own.

Pah! Pah! Pah! Pah! A few sounds were heard on three different walls.

Soon after, Zhang Changsheng took out a small scarecrow from his bag, pulled out a strand of his hair, and stuffed it into the scarecrow. He carefully pried the scarecrow into a meditative posture, then used his right middle finger and index finger to draw a few circles on the scarecrow. Finally, he chanted and lit three incense sticks in front of the scarecrow.

After which, he heaved a sigh of relief, clapped his hands, and left the private room.

Li Jing was dumbstruck. He didn't even dare to breathe loudly. Seeing Zhang Changsheng come out, she carefully asked, "Just what happened just now?"

Zhang Changsheng sighed, "Just now, this Penniless Priest first gave her a few sticks of incense, hoping that it could ease his vicious Qi. I didn't expect that he would be so stubborn as to actually bring my incense back."

"I didn't give you time to finish. The most powerful evil spirit is those with grudges brought to the Underworld. It still can't forget what happened while it was still alive. It always wants to find an opportunity to return to the Yang World to take revenge."

"However, there are layers of barriers between the Underworld and the Yang World, and there are also many ghost servants guarding them. It's not easy to come over here, most of them ran halfway before being captured. Only a few will be able to return."

"The complete soul contains the soul of three souls and seven souls. The souls that ran back have already been destroyed by the barrier, leaving only the soul fragments behind. This also results in these souls having only a fragment of their memories before death. They will treat everyone they meet as their enemies and kill the innocent without thinking. Sadly, they don't even remember who their enemy is. "

"This female ghost is roughly the same type. The worst part is that these evil spirits are hard to communicate with. They are extremely stubborn and have no choice but to …"

Zhang Changsheng did not continue, only constantly shaking his head. "The heavens have a virtue, so I hope you don't …"

Although Li Jing didn't really understand, he could tell from Zhang Changsheng's tone that the situation was extremely serious. "Then what should we do now?"

Zhang Changsheng pointed at the room: "Just now, this humble one has already set up a Triple Talent Formation to trap the female ghost in the room, and now this humble one has to retrieve some magic treasures. During this period of time, you are responsible for watching over the incense in the room, remember that this incense must not be broken, if you break this formation, it will lose its effectiveness, and when the female ghost escapes, it will be very difficult to catch her again."

"Wait!" Li Jing suddenly reacted, "You mean let me stay here alone? I don't want to catch ghosts. What if the female ghost comes out? "

"Don't worry. It is almost noon, and the time when yang energy is at its strongest is right now. Ordinary ghosts would not dare to come out and cause trouble. This humble Taoist will be right back."

Zhang Changsheng patted Li Jing's shoulder and chuckled. He didn't wait for Li Jing to agree before leaving.

Looking at Zhang Changsheng's back, Li Jing suddenly thought of something and hurriedly shouted.

"Wait, that's not right! If she doesn't want to come out, then why did she break the incense just now? "Hey, wait a moment!"

But Zhang Changsheng did not even turn his head, he only heard a melodious echo. "It's fine, it's fine. This Penniless Priest will be back soon."

Li JingGan stared at Zhang Changsheng's back as he disappeared into the corridor, and for a while, he had no idea what to do. He turned around and looked at the 218 rooms, and couldn't help but shiver. Ye Zichen thought, could it be that Old Daoist Zhang ran off first because he couldn't get rid of her? If the ghost girl really did come out, then I'll just leave her here. No, I think it's better for me to leave first.

But after taking two steps, he thought, "This won't do. Judging from Old Daoist Zhang's posture just now, it doesn't seem like he was faking it. What if something really happens to him?" As a police officer, did he do something that would let the people down? As he thought about it, he drew back.

However, he shook his head. What kind of era is this? Is there even any police force here? Who wouldn't want to earn a living? Moreover, I am still alive to serve the people better in the future, so it's better for me to leave first.

She didn't even take two steps before shaking her head. If there really was a ghost and you really felt like you could run, then she had already looked for you the last time. This time, she would definitely be the first to look for you!

Just like this, Li Jing paced back and forth outside while the fragrance in the room slowly died down.
