Longevity from Liao Zhai

Chapter 212 My Bride, You Are Here

Yaowang Mountain.

Zhou Ping, Fan Shiyi and Zhiqiu Yiye came to the mountain to find the Ghost King and get rid of this evil spirit.

Originally, Xiao Baiyun also came along, but was called away by his senior brother Pu Ren.

What Buddhism wants is a mantis stalking a cicada, unaware of the oriole behind it; what it wants is to take a piece of meat out of Zhao Tiancheng's mouth.

Pu Ren knew the Ghost King's background very well and knew that it was a first-grade one before it was sealed.

Even though it has been sealed for many years, it is not something that Zhou Ping and his juniors can stop.

Pu Ren touched his waist and found a golden Buddha on it.

The golden Buddha is something that is close to the Buddha and has been worshipped by Buddhists from generation to generation. It is full of Buddha's power.

Apart from the two sacred objects of Buddhism, this golden Buddha is the most noble instrument of Buddhism.

The Golden Buddha and the Little White Cloud are Pu Ren’s trump cards.

"What, a fortune teller?" Zhiqiu Yiye's voice rose a few degrees, "I am the number one of the younger generation of the Earth Sect, I am not a fortune teller."

Zhou Ping smiled and said, "I know you are the best in Taoism, so I asked you to tell fortunes. There are only a few people in this world who can tell fortunes. Asking you to tell fortunes is a compliment to you."

Fan Shiyi's mouth curled slightly. She didn't expect Zhou Ping to be so good at deceiving people.

"You're flattering me? Yes, how many people in this world can tell fortunes?" Zhiqiu Yiye was no longer angry. He waved his hand, a tortoise shell appeared, and then he started to count the coins.

Zhiqiu Yiye also has a storage jade.

Soon, Zhiqiu Yiye chose a direction: "Probably here."

The three of them followed Zhiqiu Yiye into the depths of the mountains, while the ghost bride and the ghost baby explored the way ahead.

After wandering around for an hour, the three still couldn't find the Ghost King.

"Fortune teller, this doesn't work for you. I feel like we're just going in circles." Zhou Ping said.

Zhiqiu Yiye blushed: "The art of calculation can only give an approximate estimate, how can it be calculated so clearly."

Zhou Ping understood, it turned out that it was impossible to accurately locate the location.

"The enemy is coming." Zhou Ping suddenly frowned and said.

The ghost bride and the ghost baby have encountered the little ghosts released by the Ghost King.

Three of the seven or eight little ghosts were stopped by the ghost bride and the ghost baby, and the rest rushed towards the three people.

These little ghosts have strong cultivation bases and all have the strength of the sixth rank.

The ghost bride wanted to rescue Zhou Ping, but was surrounded by three little ghosts.

Zhiqiu Yiye and Fan Shiyi were slightly shocked. They didn't expect Zhou Ping to give a warning.

Zhiqiu Yiye took out a handful of runes, with tears flashing on the runes.

Fan Shiyi took out a pen and wrote some words in front of him. The words emitted a milky white light.

Zhou Ping looked at Fan Shiyi's words, which were the "Four Sentences of Hengqu".

“After a Confucian reaches the third level, not only will the things he draw have a sense of accomplishment, but the words he writes also have attack power, but it is mainly used to deal with evil spirits,” Fan Shiyi explained.

Zhou Ping nodded slightly.

The little ghost appeared, and the characters around Fan Shiyi pounced on the little ghost. Zhiqiu Yiye's runes flew towards the little ghost, followed by a popping sound.

Soon, several little ghosts were killed.

The ghost bride also ended the fight. These little ghosts were no match for her.

A blurry figure slowly emerged from the magic circle under the mine.

"I didn't expect that a female ghost would come. This female ghost is really good. She will become my woman." After the figure said this, a wisp of black gas separated from its body and then possessed a dead body beside the altar.

Soon, the Ghost King controlled a corpse and came to the ground.

The ghost bride also returned to Zhou Ping.

"Don't do anything, she is mine." Zhou Ping said hurriedly to Zhiqiu Yiye.

"Your people?" Zhiqiu Yiye's eyes widened. Fan Shiyi waved a paper fan beside him and added, "His woman."

Xiaoqing: "Wrong, his female ghost."

Zhiqiu Yiye looked at the ghost bride and felt a little nervous.

Taoists also have many ways to deal with ghosts, and they have studied ghosts thoroughly.

The female ghost in red is the most vicious because she has a lot of resentment.

Female ghosts wearing wedding dresses are more ferocious because they died on their wedding day, so their resentment is more fierce.

"The wedding dress ghost is ranked second among the ten most evil ghosts. She holds a lot of resentment, and her cultivation level increases very quickly. Once she goes crazy, everyone around her will suffer." Zhiqiu Yiye frowned.

Ghosts can sometimes be suppressed by people to maintain their sanity, but just like bloodthirsty beasts, if they smell blood, they will turn into beasts that do not recognize their relatives and kill everyone around them.

Zhiqiu Yiye’s worries are not unreasonable.

"I have a contract with her. If I die, she dies. If she dies, I live." Zhou Ping paused and explained.

Zhiqiu Yiye was startled, and then his voice rose several pitches: "What, she is willing to do this?"

The contract between humans and ghosts was developed by Taoists.

In the beginning, in order to control ghosts, humans forcibly placed rune restrictions on ghosts.

Later, some ghosts were not so cruel, so runes were developed to make ghosts willing to submit to humans.

The advantage of this type of rune is that it will not harm humans or ghosts, and humans and ghosts are connected in mind.

It's just that most ghosts don't want to be enslaved.

Who would be willing to be someone else's slave?

While Zhiqiu Yiye was in shock, he saw the ghost baby again: "Is this little ghost hers? Could it be a mother and child ghost?"

Zhou Ping shook his head: "The little ghost is not hers."

Zhiqiu Yiye breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, the mother and child ghost is ranked first on the evil ghost list, it can easily grow into a fourth-grade existence, I was really scared."

The ghost baby looked at Zhiqiu Yiye curiously, with vigilance in his eyes, because the aura emanating from Zhiqiu Yiye made him feel uncomfortable.

"He is a mother and child ghost, his mother has been killed." Zhou Ping said after a pause.

Zhiqiu Yiye was immediately startled. Is this really a mother and child ghost?

"Raising two evil ghosts, fellow Taoist, this is not the right way." Zhiqiu Yiye looked at Zhou Ping deeply.

Zhou Ping smiled calmly: "There are three thousand great ways. Good is the way, and evil is also the way. There is no right or wrong in the art, but people are good and evil. Isn't it better for me to be their cage than to let them harm people?"

Zhiqiu Yiye listened to Zhou Ping's words and murmured to himself: "There is no right or wrong in skills, but there are good and evil people."

"Thank you for your advice!" Zhiqiu Yiye bowed to Zhou Ping.

However, Zhou Ping did not expect that the ghost bride and the ghost baby were still ranked high on the evil ghost list.

Suddenly, the surrounding environment changed dramatically.

A house suddenly appeared on the originally foggy mountain.

The house is simple and elegant, with two big red lanterns at the door with huge Chinese characters for "囍" written on them.

In the courtyard, there were bursts of drum and music sounds, as if someone was getting married.

The three of them were alert, knowing that this was an illusion.

However, the Ghost King could not be found at the moment, so they had to go into the house to look for clues.

The ghost baby pushed open the door and the three of them walked into the house.

In the courtyard, there were many octagonal tables, each of which had two people sitting on it and was filled with food.

It’s just that these people look stupid, not like living people.

In the middle of the room, there was a man wearing red clothes with a big red flower on his chest.

"My bride, you are here."
