Yin Shou Shu

Chapter 101 If you don’t eat the toast, you will be punished by drinking wine

In the ruined yard, the blood-red net was stretched straight and taut.

The female ghost trapped in the net struggled frantically, her dark eyes staring at Ran Qing and roaring angrily.

"Damn ghost walker!"

"You actually came to harm me! Aaaaaaah!"

"Don't even think about killing me twice!"

"Kill him! Kill them!"

The female ghost's shrill and resentful roar spread in the night wind, and from the ghost market in the distance, ferocious howls came one after another.

This female ghost was actually ordering other evil ghosts in the ghost market.

The cold wind kept blowing, and the entire ghost market began to riot, as if all the evil spirits were rushing here.

But when Ran Qing heard the huge noise, he was even more shocked by another thing.

"...killed you twice?"

Even if a ghost born from a corpse has the corpse's memories, it will basically not regard the deceased as itself, let alone think that it has died once.

But the water ghost in front of me...

Considering the ghost's unusually cautious nature and her cruel yet unique way of revenge on her mother-in-law...evil ghosts only kill people, they won't leave anyone alive to torture them.

Ran Qing stared at her intently, somewhat shocked: "You have retained your personality and rationality from your previous life?!"

This female ghost is actually the same as Li Hongye?
Retained the sanity from life, half human, half ghost?
Ran Qing, realizing this, felt an absurd and indescribable emotion in his heart.

Li Hongye's existence has already broken the common sense stated in "Witchcraft, Ghosts and Magic" and "Records of Strange Things".

Now another one?
Ran Qing instinctively smelled some kind of conspiracy.

"Killed you twice? Was the person who killed you the first time also a ghost walker?"

There must be something similar between this female ghost and Li Hongye.

But Li Hongye came from a family of corpse refiners, and her father and mother were also practitioners of the unorthodox practice. They only buried and committed suicide after making sufficient preparations. If she had discovered some special and unholy method that allowed her to maintain her sanity after death, it wouldn't be particularly surprising.

But the female ghost in front of him was just an ordinary person, and she was murdered. She was able to maintain her sanity after death...so the person who killed her must have a problem!

Ran Qing's eyes were cold, and he vaguely felt that he had touched upon some dark secret.

This secret may even be related to Li Hongye's family.

If this female ghost had retained her sanity in life, then perhaps she could communicate...

Ran Qing frowned as he listened to the noise coming from the ghost market.

"Tell me who killed you, and I can help you get revenge!"

"Tell me your story, I have a way to bring you before your enemies."

"We can make peace!"

There is no peace between living people and evil spirits and monsters. Those evil spirits only know how to harm people and are cruel and brutal.

But if it's a half-human, half-ghost ghost that retains its rational personality from life, perhaps it can be promised benefits...

But as soon as Ran Qing finished speaking, the female ghost trapped in the blood-red net let out a strange and cold laugh.

"Make peace? Revenge? Hahahaha!!!"

"Where did this Rilong Bao come from! Do you think I'm a pig? Are you trying to numb me?"

"You are a bunch of rotten, wet, and rotten women who only know how to harm and deceive others. You all deserve to die!"

The female ghost is resentful and crazy.

Ran Qing's friendly attempts at peacemaking and the benefits he promised not only failed to calm her down, but instead irritated her even more.

She struggled madly in the blood-red net, screaming miserably and madly, calling for the evil spirits in the ghost market to come over.

The six ghosts, who had been frozen in the yard and unable to move because their master was restrained, now stared at Ran Qing with anger and resentment. They were unable to move, but they wanted to cut Ran Qing into pieces with their resentful eyes.

Feeling the resentment and struggle of the evil spirit in the net, Ran Qing's face also turned cold.

"Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

He simply saw that this female ghost retained some of her rational personality from her lifetime, and that she had died a miserable death, so he felt a tinge of compassion and wanted to try to save her. — If he could save this evil ghost, perhaps he could save Li Hongye in the future.

But unfortunately, even though he still retained his sanity and was half human, his ghost side dominated everything about this water ghost.

It only has hatred and anger, and is unable to communicate and make peace.

Seeing this, Ran Qing no longer held back.

He directly took out the mineral water bottle from the canvas bag, which was half filled with dark and turbid muddy wine.

After opening the lid, a pungent stench wafted into the air.

Ran Qing directly poured the muddy wine soaked with pig eyes at the water ghost in mid-air and said coldly: "If you don't cooperate, I can still dig out the contents of your brain!"

The moment the mud wine was splashed on the water ghost, the water ghost screamed miserably.

It was clearly a water ghost that would become stronger when in contact with water, but when the mud wine was poured on it, it emitted green smoke, as if it had been splashed with sulfuric acid.

Its body twisted in pain in the net, and a dark color appeared on its pale dead skin, as if it was stained with mud.

——And this is just the beginning.

As the mud wine poured over her body, the female ghost in the net struggled more violently, and the eight pig eyes that had been rolling in the dark shadows began to twitch in place in the corner of the courtyard wall.

Like eight bouncing balls.

The twitching of her eight eyeballs triggered some invisible force. The female ghost, splashed with muddy wine, convulsed and howled miserably, as if in great torture.

Ran Qing walked directly into the net, stretched out his hands and pinched the ghost girl's pale and cold face.

The icy chill spread through Ran Qing's hands and onto his body.

But he remained indifferent, and his face, wearing a Nuo opera mask, pressed directly against the female ghost in the net.

Finally, the forehead of the Nuo opera mask worn by Ran Qing pressed heavily against the female ghost's head.

The female ghost who had been struggling miserably suddenly froze and stopped moving...

Ran Qing's body shook and he felt as if he was flying.

Darkness engulfed him, and he saw a resentful, pale water ghost curled up in the darkness.

Behind the water ghost was a wooden house that looked shaky.

The lights came on in the tiled house, and the old woman's angry curses were heard from inside.

"...I raised you mouthful by mouthful back then! And now you are such a disobedient child!"

"Have you forgotten how long ago you were born? Now it's time for me to chew you up and eat you mouthful by mouthful!"

"I helped you study, I helped you find a job through connections, I arranged everything for you, and this is how you repay me?"

"Since you like this lame wife so much, you should live with her from now on! Just pretend that I'm not your mother!"

Amidst waves of cursing, a man with a red face pushed open the door and ran out, running into the darkness with an angry look on his face.

Ran Qing looked at the scene coldly and saw a woman with tears on her face sitting in the tile-roofed house. The woman's face was exactly the same as the evil ghost in the well.

When the pale water ghost curled up on the side heard the noise, it suddenly jumped up and pounced on Ran Qing with a face full of resentment.

"I'll kill you!"

But the moment the female ghost pounced, Ran Qing, who was wearing a mask, suddenly stretched out his hand, and his strong arms with bulging veins grabbed the ghost's neck and fixed it in mid-air.

Ran Qing looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the room with an expressionless face, completely ignoring the evil ghost struggling in his hands.

He cursed with the destiny card in advance, prepared many tools for ghosts, personally went into the yard to set traps, and then led the water ghost out of the well... Ran Qing prepared so much just for this moment.

——You can catch ghosts without the tablet of your master!
At this moment, the water ghost was like a stranded dead fish being pinched in mid-air by Ran Qing. It could only struggle desperately but could not cause any harm to Ran Qing.

The victory or defeat of both sides was decided the moment it jumped out of the well!

Ran Qing pinched the water ghost and stared at the tile house.

A thin, middle-aged man with a rat-like face appeared outside the door stealthily.

He looked at the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the room and smiled.

"His Third Aunt, come out quickly!"
