Mysterious Resurrection: The Peddler

Chapter 490: Get promoted, get rich, and rest in peace

Li Leping walked in front, but he was maintaining his ghost cave all the time, as if only in this way could his figure be barely visible.

"My ghost wind has been suppressed, but Li Leping can open the ghost cave at will here?"

Cao Yang was a little confused. The strength of the ghost wind and ghost smoke were roughly the same. Theoretically, the ghost wind would not be suppressed while the ghost smoke could open the ghost den normally. It was obvious that Li Leping had gained some benefits in this place called Ghost Tomb.

While thinking, he followed Li Leping, and they soon came to a wasteland.

The ground of this wasteland was black, as if it had been stained with thick black ink. The surrounding environment was also depressing, dull and dim, and filled with a cold atmosphere, as if terrible evil spirits would appear at any time.

"There is a fierce demon suppressed in the ghost mound, which is conservatively estimated to be A+ level. If this thing invades reality, it will inevitably bring disaster."

Li Leping stopped and said while looking at the darkness in front of him.

"That's not hard to guess. Let's get to the point. It would be best if I can help."

Cao Yang shrugged.

At this moment, the gray smoke suddenly dissipated, and Li Leping's figure in the smoke also disappeared, but the darkness around was strangely dispelled a little, and the vision suddenly became bright.

"This is……"

Cao Yang's eyes narrowed, because he saw an old coffin suddenly appear in front of him. Many black chains extended from the coffin. The other ends of the chains were firmly fixed on the cliff next to it, making the coffin completely suspended in the air.

Not only that, the coffin was placed vertically, and there were many signs of gnawing and chopping on the coffin board.

"A hanging coffin?"

"Li Leping, don't tell me you're playing such a big game that you even came up with something like this."

Cao Yang looked around. There was a high earthen grave under the hanging coffin. There was no tombstone in front of the grave. Even the soil was stuck together very tightly, and there was a faint fishy smell.

"That's the truth. This hanging coffin is the key to maintaining the spiritual balance of the ghost tomb, but I don't know whether the evil spirit is in the coffin or in the grave below."

Li Leping's voice came, sounding a little dull, and he seemed to be in a closed space.

"You didn't get into that coffin, did you?"

Cao Yang asked.

However, Li Leping fell silent, and responded after a long time:
"Yes and no, I'm not that stupid. I used some tricks to divide my consciousness into three parts, and each part has 70% of my supernatural power."

"Two of the consciousnesses entered the coffin and the grave respectively, leaving the last consciousness to guard it."

"With the special features of the Forgotten Ghost, I can escape from the coffin and the grave and return to reality at any time, so you don't have to worry about me."

Cao Yang stood there, seemingly looking at something, and did not respond to Li Leping's explanation.

"This coffin is red. It can suppress the revival of evil spirits and reduce the erosion of evil spirits' instincts on human nature and the emotions of the living. I believe you should know this." As if sensing Cao Yang's suspicion, Li Leping added.

"What was that ghost smoke just now? Can your ghost den be opened here at will?"

"The hanging coffins and earthen graves are the core of the ghost mound. After entering it, I have already mastered some of the ghost mound's supernatural powers, so I can project a part of myself out. If I just want to lead the way for you, I can still do it, but I need to use the ghost cave to present it. After all, the real me is now in an isolated state."

Li Leping did not intend to hide it, because Cao Yang's attitude was already very clear. Guizhong was a supernatural place, and as a captain, he could not let it get out of control. In addition, he was not in good condition, so Cao Yang's suspicion was completely reasonable.

"You said you divided your consciousness into three parts, so where did the other part go?"

"The third consciousness is in a superimposed state. If one of the earthen tomb and the hanging coffin is attacked or invaded by the spirit, the third consciousness will appear and help me maintain balance again until I completely control this spiritual land, or my three consciousnesses are wiped out."

In the hanging coffin in mid-air, Li Leping opened his eyes, but there was only darkness in his sight, and he could not see anything. Behind him stood a fierce ghost, wearing a Republic of China-style jacket and cloth pants, and a pair of dirty and tattered cloth shoes.

Li Leping lay motionless in the raised earth grave, and under him also lay the corpse of an evil spirit. The corpse was almost exactly the same as the old corpse from the Republic of China in the hanging coffin, except that the Ma褂 on his body was replaced by a Zhongshan suit.

With the combined attacks of the human-seeking ghost and the sleepwalking ghost, these two evil ghosts have been completely suppressed. Although these two ghosts showed no signs of revival before Li Leping arrived, the attacks of the human-seeking ghost do not need to be actively triggered. As long as they are close to Li Leping, the curse of death will continue to have an effect.

"I have to say that the guy who created the Onitsuka is also a genius. He not only dismembered his own spirit, but also split his consciousness into two parts. What's even more subtle is that the two consciousnesses have different perceptions of their own spirit."

"Promotion, wealth, and burial are the two supernatural powers controlled by the ghost tamer, and they are also the rules of the two ghosts. The ghost that controls the supernatural power of promotion believes that he has been buried, while the ghost that controls the supernatural power of burial believes that he is suspended in mid-air. Their consciousnesses are exchanged, and the supernatural powers and rules are misplaced."

"So this is why Onizuka has not lost control for so many years. The two ghosts have been repeatedly freezing and reviving due to the conflict of rules, but in fact they have been dynamically maintaining the balance of Onizuka."

Li Leping did not tell Cao Yang about all this. In fact, it was only after he had been missing for so many days that he figured it out. Cao Yang could not help. Everything just needed time to settle until he had completely mastered these two supernatural powers.

"Well, it seems that you really can't get away. You should be able to control Wang Yuan's body. Remember to attend the captain's meeting in three days."

Cao Yang stopped asking questions because he had already figured out the true nature of Guizhong in the fake world. Li Leping now needed time to master the new supernatural power, and Cao Yang also knew what the other party would become after he succeeded.

"Getting promoted, getting rich, and resting in peace. When it comes to using ghosts to fight ghosts, the older generation of ghost controllers have a more sophisticated design."

"Incomplete memories, the medium of invasion, Li Leping walking in the darkness, I am beginning to look forward to the day when you come out of confinement."

Cao Yang's figure flashed and soon disappeared in the ghost tomb.

A moment later, thick smoke suddenly emerged from the raised mound under the hanging coffin, but the smoke did not spread out. Instead, it condensed together to form the outline of a human figure.

The outline was exactly that of Wang Yuan who had been charred by the ghost smoke before, but he was no longer Wang Yuan at this time. A new consciousness had occupied this body, and his facial features were constantly changing and reconstructing.

soon.

An ordinary face appeared, with no expression on it, but with a numb coldness and indifference.

This person wandered in the thick smoke, heading in the direction where Onitsuka connected to reality.
