Chapter 13: Going Upstairs (Second Update)

Gao Jian and Bai Ping killed many ghosts, but if they only counted the big ghosts, there were only about thirty or forty of them.

As for the little ghosts, with Gao Jian's golden statue and evil aura, plus the dazzling knife light, the little ghosts just howled by the side and dared not come forward.

But there were thousands of headless ghosts in front of him.

When these headless ghosts appeared, the tide of ghosts stopped, as if making way for this army of thousands of headless ghosts.

The headless ghosts walked on the street, slowly approaching Gao Jian and Bai Ping.

This scene alone is enough to make one's breathing stop and lose the will to resist.

How to resist? Thousands of headless ghosts, hitting with a hammer, can beat Gao Jian to death.

"Oh no, I really have to be a door god now." Bai Ping smiled bitterly: "There are so many headless ghosts, is there a mass grave under the Ningtai County City from an ancient battlefield?"

"No, it's not an ancient battlefield." Gao Jian took a breath and said, "Look at the headless ghosts. Some are wearing cloth clothes, some are wearing prison uniforms, but none of them are wearing armor."

"There are prison uniforms. I think... this thing is probably not a battlefield, but a place of execution. Where is the Caishikou in Ningtai County? It seems to be on South Street."

"Yes, on South Street." Bai Ping also took a few breaths to rest, but his hands were not idle either. He began to draw talismans on himself and Gao Jian's body.

Gao Jian held out his hand for him to draw, and said at the same time: "I used my body to unite the city earlier, and took some incense smoke. The place where the incense smoke floated up was at the South Street Caishikou."

While the two were talking, the black air surrounding them gradually dissipated due to the appearance of the headless ghosts.

They were finally able to see where the thousands of headless ghosts came from.

Gao Jian looked around and saw a huge willow tree standing at the end of the road, at the exit of Caishikou.

The willow tree is huge, almost towering, with many branches. The drooping branches are like hair. When blown by the wind, the willow branches dance in the air, making the whole willow tree look like a head with long hair.

The willow tree stretched out countless willow branches, and at the end of these branches, there were human heads stuck on them one after another.

The head just hung quietly on the willow tree, with a stiff expression and no words.

It's a good thing to keep silent. If these heads start talking, it would be scary.

The atmosphere was eerie and gloomy. Even though the willow tree did nothing and nothing happened, it still felt indescribably terrifying.

Those headless ghosts started from the willow tree and walked towards the direction where Gao Jian and Bai Ping were.

Bai Ping sighed, then said, "I understand. This willow tree has lived for a long time and has become a spirit. It used the resentment of the people who were beheaded in Caishikou as an introduction to start its cultivation, and it uses the bodies of the beheaded people in Caishikou as blood food."

"He devoured the resentment and blood of the headless ghosts to cultivate. The heads of the headless ghosts were all stuck on their own willow branches, so they were controlled by him and used by him. In the end, he even took the life of the City God, devoured the City God, killed the county magistrate, took power alone, and controlled Ningtai County!"

"Over the years, countless people have been beheaded in Caishikou. Moreover, after he replaced the county magistrate, he also raised evil spirits, causing many massacres in the villages outside. All of them were absorbed by him. In addition, with the exclusive power of the county magistrate, he must have killed many, many people over the years. The resentment is so deep that the progress of cultivation is unimaginable!"

After listening to this, Gao Jian found that it was similar to what he guessed.

When I saw the willow tree, combined with those events, the whole story became very clear.

So, Gao Jian raised his knife and continued, "Also, he seized the City God Temple. Every year, there are sacrifices at the temple fair. All the door gods in the city have been replaced by his own little ghosts. In addition to the 'mountain gods' formed by those evil ghosts, the blood food and incense he has received are countless." Bai Ping was shocked: "Gurgle, what kind of monster has this thing developed into now?"

Although the two of them have not given up resistance, they also know that the monster before them is probably not something they can defeat.

Unless Bai Ping tells his own teacher.

That's why the willow tree tried to stop them from leaving.

If Bai Ping left, he would no longer be able to hide the truth, and the good days of Ningtai County would be over.

Maybe even the masters from the imperial court and Zhenjing Taoist Palace would come to eliminate him, so even if it would arouse suspicion, he had to keep Bai Ping and Gao Jian here.

The headless ghosts were still walking towards Gao Jian and Bai Ping, calmly and leisurely, as if they were already sure of success.

"It's difficult, it's difficult. What should I say? Is there any other way? Brother, you are smarter than me. Have you thought of any tricks?" Bai Ping was already sweating, but his hands were still steadily drawing talismans on Gao Jian's body.

"Master, what you just said, that the headless ghost's head was held by him, so he was controlled and controlled by him, is it your guess or the truth?" Gao Jian asked.

Bai Ping replied: "It was just a guess just now, but now it seems to be almost certain."

Gao Jian said, "What do you think? If we rush over and chop off the branches of the willow tree, freeing these headless ghosts and allowing them to reincarnate, will they turn against us and join us in besieging the willow tree?"

Bai Ping had a subtle expression: "Can you get through? Also, can you chop down the willow tree? This thing is very powerful... It ate up all the city gods in the area."

"Is there any other way?" Gao Jian asked.

"No, then it's fine. I've drawn a talisman for you, but I can't say how many times it will be effective. I'll clear the way for you with my flying sword." Bai Ping wiped his sweat.

"You only have one hand, and you have to use your flying sword to clear a way for me. What will you do?" Gao Jian frowned.

Bai Ping smiled and said, "Using a flying sword to clear the way will result in a life-or-death situation. If you only care about yourself, you will die ten times out of ten. Brother, we met at the mountain god's place. Although we haven't known each other for a long time, we share the same aspirations. You know, although I am afraid of death, I am not afraid of it. Besides... I am just clearing the way. It is you who has to rush over and face the willow tree."

Gao Jian stopped talking.

No need to say anything, he just raised the knife.

He couldn't fly, so he had to rush through the long river of thousands of headless ghosts before he could get to the willow tree.

After rushing over, he still had to cut off the opponent's branches, so he could only rely on his long sword. The tip of the rusty sword had already been exposed, so Gao Jian could only bet that the tip of his sword was sharp enough.

"Then, let's start!" Bai Ping had just finished speaking when he saw a flying sword whizzing out!

The sound makes the wind rise, and the energy rushes to the bullfighting!
The light of practice shakes the grass and trees, only the sword shines in the night!
Bai Ping no longer held back, and poured all his energy into the two opened acupoints. This sword was almost the same as the one he used to kill the mountain god and evil spirits!
Resolute and stubborn, he won't hold back at all. With just this one sword, he is willing to exchange his life for someone else's!

The sword style is called "Go up the stairs and then go up the stairs again".

When Master came down the mountain, he said that 'going upstairs' was a last resort trick that could not be used normally, but he did not expect that he would use it twice in just a few days.

All the Qi in the body is poured out, and the cultivation of the second level of acupoints reaches the third level!
