C18 Female ghost

Once we entered the Pan Shui Village, we started to walk towards the farmlands. It was not yet harvest time, so there were barely any people around the fields.

On one side of the farmland was a bamboo forest, and outside the bamboo forest was a river. It seemed that the bamboo forest was planted to prevent the erosion of the soil and water by the river.

There were a lot of grave mounds near the bamboo forest, and they were all made of cement. Some of them sounded luxurious, and the gravestones on them were carved out of marble, but most of them were rather crude.

I looked at the quest prompt and said that it was a female ghost dressed in red that had appeared in the bamboo forest and wanted us to eliminate her.

As for that book on the Red Lotus Sword Art, we plan to wait until it gets darker before we start looking for it, because the Red Lotus Sword Technique was secretly placed by the siblings in a cowshed. At that time, there was no one there, but there are many people in the village right now, so it's not easy to sneak in.

"I truly envy your Spirit Master. You can use your own techniques to summon some ancient Heroic Spirits." Xie Lingyun said.

I was startled for a moment, but then I realised that she definitely did not know about the system. After all, the Spirit Master System was a secret between Spirit Master s, so once the Spirit Master was defeated, all the related memories would disappear.

I said, "This may not necessarily be a good thing. The growth of the Spirit Master is much slower than you guys. You can directly use various cultivation techniques to strengthen yourselves. However, the ways that the Spirit Master uses to strengthen itself is very limited."

"Actually, I have heard a lot of things about the Spirit Master. Once the Spirit Master is defeated, they will pretend to be stupid and become ignorant." Xie Lingyun said.

I frowned, "I am not pretending to be stupid. After you defeat Spirit Master, what will you do?"

"Of course I'm going to kill them. Although I don't know what to say, who knows if I'm pretending or not, but I've never killed Spirit Master, so I've only seen the images of many of the Spirit Master being killed. When they were defeated, the fear before their deaths made them look like ordinary people." Xie Lingyun said.

I took a deep breath. How cruel is this? Once the Spirit Master is defeated, all the related memories would disappear and they would become ordinary people. But here, it seems like these people thought that all of this was fake.

A so-called righteous cultivator was just like a wolf in sheep's clothing.

Along the way, I asked some questions about the Spirit Master. Only then did I find out that the Spirit Master appeared a thousand years ago and swept across the entire continent. However, in the following thousand years, she disappeared without a trace.

The pitiful Spirit Master s who were chosen did not know who their enemies were and were killed.

After all, I knew that the other party had lost the Spirit Master's memory and would not continue to act against an unarmed ordinary person. However, the cultivators did not know that they thought that the Spirit Master was evil, and would turn into ashes the moment they captured the Spirit Master.

According to Xie Lingyun, catching the Spirit Master would cause them to be tortured for a while, because the Spirit Master's ability to summon the dead was truly inconceivable for cultivators.

So these people were wearing masks of punishment for evil and started to capture Spirit Master, but the real meaning was to covet Spirit Master's power.

This was extremely fake, so fake that it made one's hair stand on end.

Imagine how those innocent people would be tied up, tortured to death by fire, and then die because they had to go to the Spirit Master. They were just ordinary people.

For ordinary people to be tormented by these people, this so-called righteousness had long been changed.

I asked, "Silverscreen, have you seen the battle that lasted for a thousand years?"

"You mean the last Ghost King election? In fact, the Spirit King would only change its position once every thousand years, and when the time comes, it would restart the Spirit Realm battle and let the best person become the Spirit King. But I did not participate, and at that time, I was not summoned by anyone, but I have heard of some things. " Guan Yinping said.

"Oh?" I'm interested.

"In the past, he was young, and it was during the time of the Song Dynasty, when the world was in chaos and the people did not live in peace, so his death rate was also shockingly high. It is said that in that era, when the Spirit Master was not even born yet, he would die in a short span of half a year, and the Ghost King was born."

"Half a year?" I took in a deep breath of cold air, thinking to myself that this competition is too cruel, but after thinking about it, that era then, compared to the last year of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was not much difference. The Song Dynasty's economy was heavy, and the light industry had led to me becoming the target of bullying by the strong.

If even the Emperor was unable to protect his own life, how long could a mere Spirit Master with an empty summon last?

In this era, the world was at least peaceful. There was no need to worry about food and drinks. As long as one had a pair of hands, it was not a big problem to be willing to work and support oneself.

As expected, the reality created by different times was different.

[Ding Dong!] The red demoness has already appeared, Spirit Master, please prepare for battle!]

I suddenly looked at my surroundings. It was clearly afternoon, but the sky had darkened. Dark clouds covered the sky, and there was a layer of sinister mist hiding in the bamboo forest.

We were already in the graveyard without knowing it, and there were occasional crows and wildcats crooning around us.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense, Guan Yinping shook her body, and went into battle mode. Her clothing was immediately concealed, the Azure Dragon crescent moon knife in her hands appeared, and Xie Lingyun, who was behind me, also took out her demon blood sword. She carefully looked at her surroundings, not daring to even breathe.

Crash! Crash!

A layer of blood-red silk suddenly floated down from the sky above the bamboo forest. That Ling Luo actually outlined the area near my neck, scaring me to the point that I immediately jumped backwards.

But very quickly, a pair of pale and dry arms softly wrapped around my neck. My heartbeat quickened as I abruptly turned my head around to find a face covered with hair.

I've seen ghost movies before, where most of the female ghosts have covered their faces with their hair. Some of the female ghosts have rotten faces, while others have no skin at all, leaving only skeletons.

Jar Jar waved his hand, but I saw nothing, just a patch of hair.

I tried to struggle free, but the hair, as if it had its own consciousness, immediately wrapped itself around my neck, making it hard for me to breathe.

"Young master!" He immediately brought his blade over, but at that moment, the surrounding grave began to tremble, and from within, a series of ghastly white phantoms appeared. These phantoms were ghosts, with faint, hazy bodies, and a vaguely human-like appearance, but the lower half of their bodies were extremely hollow, almost transparent.

With a single slash, Guan Yinping managed to cut through the ghost's body without causing any damage.

The situation became more and more desperate. I struggled with all my might, but I didn't expect that my hair would become tighter and tighter around my neck.

"It's a ghost. Physical attacks can't hurt a ghost!" Xie Lingyun said. She fiercely pinched her sword fingers and chanted an incantation, then a gold light immediately appeared from her fingertips. The gold light immediately flew towards me and gathered around the female ghost's head.

The ghost girl let out a miserable scream. Suddenly, she spread open her arms, abandoned me, and directly pounced towards Xie Lingyun.

Xie Lingyun cried out in alarm, rolling on the ground, she fiercely bit her finger and shouted: "Sword Qi out of the scabbard!"

As she said that, the two sword illusions solidified beside her and pierced towards the female ghost. The female ghost let out a blood-curdling screech as her body suddenly shook, creating a wave of ripples!

"Now, when ghosts are attacked by magic, there will be a delay of one or two seconds, allowing them to take physical attacks!" Xie Lingyun shouted towards Guan Yinping.
