In ancient times, they secretly became gods in the deep mountains.

Chapter 47 The Symbiotic Secret Technique: Saving Madam He Jinzong

The lady is actually a ghost?
"Run! There's a ghost!"

Those present were filled with fear; they instinctively ran away, bumping into each other and staggering about.

Luo Yousong gripped his friend's arm tightly, his lips trembling slightly: "Brother He, I never imagined that your wife was actually the ghost hiding in the He family."

"Impossible!" The one who couldn't accept that Madam He had become a ghost was He Jinzong. He hurriedly defended himself: "I have been with Madam He for decades. I know her very well. How could she be a ghost?"

He Jinzong knelt down and kowtowed: "Your Majesty! There is something I don't understand. If Madam is really a ghost, I estimate that she would have been killed long ago. How could she still be standing here alive!"

"Ah! Master, save me!" Madam He cried out in pain, her red hair standing on end, and sharp teeth showing at the corners of her mouth.

"Madam!" He Jinzong reached out in grief, but Luo Yousong stopped him: "Brother He, the Empress is a goddess, she would never falsely accuse your wife."

He advised, "Let the Empress finish speaking first!"

Gu Yuexi looked at He Jinzong and said, word by word, "Your wife is indeed not a ghost. However, a year ago, a ghost used her as a host and tried to coexist with her using a secret technique. I suspect that her purpose was to return to the human world!"

Luo Yousong gasped, and said tremblingly, "Does Your Majesty mean that my sister-in-law is possessed by a ghost?"

Gu Yuexi shook her head: "No! This is a rare symbiotic secret technique."

"This symbiotic secret technique is insidious and treacherous. Its essence is that ghosts merge with the souls of living people and silently replace them in the mortal world. If the ghosts succeed, Madam He will disappear without a trace, and the remaining lifespan of hers will be inherited by the ghosts, who will enjoy everything she has in the mortal world in her place."

"Everyone's lifespan is predetermined. Ghosts are no longer accepted by the mortal world after they die. That's why it used a symbiotic secret technique to steal Madam He's lifespan, hoping to be reborn through this deceptive method."

"Simply put, once it perfectly merges with its host, it will openly become a true mortal without being detected by cultivators."

Gu Yuexi continued, "Have you ever heard of the phrase 'stealing the dragon and replacing the phoenix'?"

This was the result of a discussion between Zhao's mother and Lingyi when they were catching up.

He Jinzong asked in a panic, "Then what should we do?"

He knelt down with a thud: "Your Majesty, have great mercy and compassion, please save my wife!"

He broke down in tears, crying, "My wife and I have never done anything immoral in our lives, so why do we keep encountering such strange things?"

First, his daughter was stolen by the family servants and forced into a ghost marriage. Then, his wife was possessed by a ghost. He asked himself why he had let his family encounter these strange things when he had never wronged anyone in his life.

"Sigh!" Luo Yousong felt a pang of sadness as he watched his friend cry his heart out.

"Please, Your Majesty, help my poor brother! As a local official, he is well-versed in the ways of the people and has devoted himself to the country and its people. He should not suffer such pain and hardship!" Luo Yousong pleaded.

Gu Yuexi used her spiritual power to lift the two of them up. She said, "This kind of symbiotic secret technique is against the way of heaven. It will not succeed easily. Ghosts and monsters need to wait for three years before they can completely and perfectly integrate with the mortals they parasitize."

"The ghost on Madam He's body has only been fused with her for a year, so there is still a chance to save her."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty has saved me from this predicament. I am deeply grateful!" Gu Yuexi's words gave He Jinzong hope. He stopped crying and put on a relieved and excited expression.

"You all step back. I'll remove the evil spirit from Madam He first, so as not to accidentally hurt you." Gu Yuexi glanced at the crowd.

She froze the panicked crowd in place, and released them after she finished speaking.

Everyone immediately stepped back.

"what!"

Under the influence of the talisman, Madam He was completely transformed into a red-haired monster with blood-red hair and eyes the same color as her hair. Her brocade clothes were torn to pieces and scattered in the air.

It had a bizarre appearance, sharp teeth and nails, and reeked of a foul stench.

It bared its teeth at Gu Yuexi.

"Why! I was about to succeed, and you had to meddle and ruin my secret technique! I'll kill you! I'll kill you!" It revealed a sinister smile, its voice sharp and piercing, and the mortals around it cowered in fear.

Seeing that tall, sacred figure of light and shadow dispelled much of the fear in my heart.

Gu Yuexi asked it, "How did you learn this symbiotic secret technique?"

The ghost remained silent, its gaze towards her fierce and violent. The thoughts in its eyes were too obvious, and the killing intent emanating from its body permeated the surroundings.

Gu Yuexi used the Soul Searching Technique. "..."

【…Host, this red-haired monster is a ghost. It has no brain and has not cultivated any kind of divine consciousness. Using the soul-searching technique on it is completely unnecessary.】

"Sizzle—" The red-haired monster's fingernails sliced ​​through the air, carrying a strong killing intent.

Gu Yuexi took out a few talismans and threw them over.

The ghost nimbly dodged.

It leaps across rooftops and walls, its movements as swift as lightning.

Bizarre, terrifying, and brutal!
Gu Yuexi gathered her spiritual power, transforming it into thousands of water blades that grazed directly across the ghost's body.

"Ah!" The ghost was injured and let out a heart-wrenching scream.

Luo Yousong covered his ears, his head covered in cold sweat.

Suddenly, an elaborate array appeared beneath Gu Yuexi's feet, linking her to the ghost. She slightly raised her eyes, and the ghost suddenly knelt down as if it were carrying a mountain.

This is the aura of a cultivator.

"Swipe!"

Several water hoses bound the ghost tightly, leaving it lying prone on the ground, unable to move.

"Ahhh! Let me go!" A voice, indistinguishable between male and female, struggled and cried out.

Gu Yuexi peeled the ghost off Madam He's body. She gently pulled at the ghost with one hand, and the ghost shuddered, showing a painful expression. Blood tears streamed down its face.

Cracks appeared in a pair of eerie pupils that could frighten away countless mortals.

Gu Yuexi cast a spell on it.

The ghost and Madam He appeared at the same time.

They overlapped in an instant, and separated in an instant.

After repeating this several times, the ghost let out a miserable scream and fell silent. The hair on Madam He's body began to fall away and become smooth.

The torn pieces of clothing beside her began to reassemble, transforming into a garment identical to the previous one. As if possessing a consciousness, the garment consciously put on Madam He's body, whose hair was gradually fading. A scarred phantom detached from Madam He's body.

"Ahhh—" Mrs. He screamed in terror, "Ghost...ghost!" She trembled all over, her eyes filled with panic as she looked around, her hair piled up in a mess.

"Madam!" He Jinzong rushed forward and hugged her tightly, crying out, "Madam, it's alright, it's alright!"

"Phew—" Gu Yuexi exhaled.

Stripping away the ghosts was not difficult for her.

However, removing the ghost without harming Madam He is still quite difficult for her, who is currently at the ninth level of Qi Refining.

Fortunately, it's all over.

"Your Majesty, is it all done?" Luo Yousong asked cautiously, "Is that ghost dead now?"

God!

He had just seen something even uglier and more terrifying than the rat demon, and he was still shaken by it.

"Who said it's dead?"

"Generally speaking, ghosts and monsters choose relatives of the same bloodline when using symbiotic techniques. Does Madam He have any sisters?"

Madam He hugged herself tightly, trembling, and said with trembling lips, "I...I had an older sister, but she passed away more than twenty years ago."

She looked up abruptly: "Does Your Majesty mean that the ghost might be my sister?"
