Chapter 84 Peach Fairy Ghost Body
"You want to kill me? Impossible!"

The Painted Skin Ghost roared loudly.

There was no movement of the branch in Miss Bai's hand, but the Painted Skin Ghost had not practiced here for many years in vain.

Dozens of new branches grew out of thin air, half of them wrapped around Miss Bai, and the other half, wrapped in green leaves, stretched out towards Chen Ji.

In Chen Ji's eyes, the branches of the peach blossom trees were like ghost hands waving towards him. When he got closer, all the green leaves on the branches exploded. They were not real green leaves, but ghost energy and yin energy condensed into substance. At this moment, they exploded and all rushed towards Chen Ji.

"Sir, be careful!"

Miss Bai hurriedly reminded her.

As soon as he finished speaking, he found that the ghost hand touched Chen Ji's body, but it was like a wax figure entering fire, and it disappeared in an instant.

There was even some thunder power that flowed back along the ghost energy and attacked the peach tree itself.

A brown wooden bead on the side of Chen Ji rotated gently, and the purple bead on it emitted a faint light, revealing his great achievements and fame!

"Thunder struck wood?"

The Painted Skin Ghost screamed, his face changed, and he quickly broke off a few branches to stop the thunder energy from flowing backwards.

Chen Ji slowly picked up the amulet and nodded.

"Good knowledge."

The Painted Skin Ghost gnashed his teeth even more.

“What a nice little trail!”

"At such a young age, he has encountered so many opportunities and possesses so many magical instruments. He must be the old Taoist's favorite disciple!"

"If I can't escape today, I'll sacrifice a hundred years of cultivation to kill you and vent my anger!"

The Painted Skin Ghost's eyes turned cold and fierce.

The faces on the tree trunk changed, and hundreds of faces appeared in an instant, attached to the peach branches and leaves, looking at Chen Ji and howling.

"Kill you!"

"Kill you!"

"Die!"

……

But in Chen Ji's eyes, it was not like that at all.

The wind rustled through the peach branches, making Chen Ji feel dazed for a moment. It was as if he really saw a peach forest, with a breeze caressing his face and the warm sunshine shining on his body, which was particularly comfortable.

The girls' whispers filled my ears.

"Young Master, come and have fun!"

"My dear, my chest feels a little stuffy, could you rub it for me?"

"Xiao Lang-jun?"

"Young Master! Why don't you wake up quickly?"

In a gentle place, Chen Ji suddenly heard a familiar voice.

A red fox suddenly appeared among the group of beauties around him, staring at Chen Ji with fiery eyes.

It’s Miss Bai!

Chen Ji's eyes lit up, and he was about to ask Miss Bai how she got here when he heard a cold snort.

"If I don't come soon, you'll be sucked dry by this Painted Skin Ghost's enchantment!"

"Charm?"

Chen Ji was shocked and figured everything out in an instant.

He was catching ghosts in Jinluoyuan and just fell into the trap of the Painted Skin Ghost.

Where are the beauties here?
They are all human skin minions of the Painted Skin Ghost, worse than the Red Powdered Skeletons.

Then his whole body shook, he understood what had happened, and suddenly took a deep breath and exhaled.

"call!"

All the makeup around her turned into dust and disappeared.

Chen Ji opened his eyes and saw the scene in front of him.

The branches of the peach trees have extended to his eyes, and the peach blossoms are in full bloom. There is a human face in each peach blossom.

If they weren't all ghosts, we could really appreciate the beautiful sight of human faces and peach blossoms complementing each other.

But now, the peach blossoms are in full bloom, exuding endless charm and enchantment.

Even the peach blossoms that were close by had stretched out their stamens, and the eerie, ghostly teeth could be seen exposed at the tips.

Chen Ji knew that if he were to be bitten by these ghost teeth, he would probably even take a piece of his soul away.

So his mind was full of thoughts, and he raised his hand to command, just wanting to make all the ghost faces disappear.

"open!"

The peach branches in front of him suddenly stopped in mid-air. After a moment, they broke off along the direction where Chen Ji pointed.

Peach branches, peach blossoms, and peach leaves fell to the ground one after another, turning into ghostly aura and drifting away.

Chen Ji didn't know if it was his illusion, but after the peach blossoms fell to the ground, the ghost face on them actually smiled at him.

"what!"

The Painted Skin Ghost roared loudly, and the face on the tree trunk almost burst out.

"My minions! How dare you destroy my minions!"

Chen Ji frowned, thinking that the Painted Skin Ghost had been dead for too long and even his mind was not clear.

I am here to exorcise demons and catch ghosts. If I don't kill those ghosts, how can I get along well with them?

Moreover, judging from the reactions of those ghosts, it is hard to say whether they are still thanking me.

However, the Painted Skin Ghost's behavior reminded Chen Ji of an old saying.

Impotent rage, a barking dog does not bite.

If the Painted Skin Ghost attacks without any reason, it would make people more vigilant.

But now?

Chen Ji used the art of observing qi to observe the aura of the Painted Skin Ghost, but found it a little strange.

When I looked at it before, there was only the fairy and ghostly energy coming from the peach tree.

Now it seems that the painted skin ghost and the peach wood are covered in black and yellow, and it is difficult to distinguish between Confucianism and Taoism, and between humans and immortals.

He is somewhat similar to the City God.

Chen Ji's heart moved, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he looked at Miss Bai and asked what to do.

"I have captured her soul, right here in this peach tree. I've cut down the tree and sealed her soul. This time, she will never escape."

"it is good!"

Chen Ji stopped talking and focused on using the Wall-Splitting Technique to chop at the peach tree.

"Crack!"

There was a muffled sound.

The peach wood that had only left a mark just now now had a scar that was two fingers deep.

Chen Ji even felt that he could cut it off completely with a few more strikes, so he spoke.

"Be careful of fraud!"

Miss Bai glanced sideways and shook her head.

"It's okay. It's because the power of my minions has completely dissipated. Only the Peach Fairy ghost body is left, which can't block your magic."

"The peach branch just now?" "Exactly."

Miss Bai locked up the spirit of the Painted Skin ghost but still had the energy to explain to Chen Ji.

"Originally, most of the Painted Skin Ghost's abilities were within the human skin. Your Wall-Opening Technique just now..."

Miss Bai paused, then spoke truthfully.

"For some reason, the connection between the Painted Skin Ghost and its minions was severed.

"That's why the Painted Skin ghost suddenly went crazy, and that's why it's easier to cut down trees."

"I see."

Chen Ji nodded, didn't think too much, and used his magic again.

But in my heart, I understood the meaning of opening the wall more clearly.

If he was willing, he could sever even the connection between the human skin noble and the ghost minions, so a mere peach wood was nothing to him.

Log in!

Open the wall!
"Kill me!"

Chen Ji's eyes were determined.

"Crack!"

With a loud noise, the peach tree broke and collapsed along the ground.

Below were not ordinary tree roots, but dozens of corpses wrapped in torn straw mats, emitting a monstrous stench and ghostly aura.

Chen Ji looked at the corner of the corpse exposed from the straw mat, which showed only white bones and red flesh. He was shocked and thought of the donkey on the bus.

He withdrew his gaze with difficulty and looked fiercely at the peach tree.

It was over when he cut down the tree, but Miss Bai still had to deal with the soul of the Painted Skin Ghost.

Draw talismans in the air and chant spells to strengthen the confinement.

Miss Bai only explained that this was a necessary measure. The Painted Skin Ghost had many ways to escape, and this was the safest way to deal with it.

"Sir, please inform the master that there is no need to maintain the Qi restraint."

"it is good."

Chen Ji just couldn't understand what Miss Bai was saying, so he went to inform Taoist Xiyun that the Painted Skin Ghost had been caught, and asked what the Peach Fairy ghost body was.

"I don't know either."

Taoist Xiyun shook his head.

"Then I can only ask Miss Bai."

Chen Ji then went back with Taoist Xiyun to look for Miss Bai.

But the scene before me is different.

Just now, Chen Ji cut down an entire peach tree, but now in Miss Bai's hand, there was only a piece of tree core as thick as her arm.

The rest of the pieces were scattered on the ground and turned into black gas.

"these are?"

"They were all contaminated with ghost energy and Yin energy. Without the ghost energy to sustain them, they dissipated."

Miss Bai said lightly.

"Will the Peach Fairy ghost body also dissipate?"

Chen Ji asked in surprise.

"Those aren't Peach Fairy Ghost Bodies, they're just ordinary Yin Peach Wood. The only real Peach Fairy Ghost Bodies are these."

Miss Bai shook her head and raised the piece of tree heart in her hand to explain to Chen Ji.

"Peach wood is yang in nature. If it grows in a sunny location, it's a good material for making magical instruments. If it's struck by lightning, it's even better."

"Master Xiyun's peach wood sword is made of the finest lightning-struck peach wood."

"Exactly."

Taoist Xiyun nodded, took out the peach wood sword and handed it out.

Chen Ji also nodded.

He had seen it in action when Bai Si was learning the art of inducing lightning before, and it was an excellent magic weapon.

I just don't know the difference between this and the Peach Fairy ghost body.

"You've seen ordinary peach wood before. Once it's infected by Yin Qi, it will rot and dissipate."

"But the heart of the peach tree can use its extremely yang energy to blend these yin and ghost energies."

"When the balance of yin and yang is achieved, and spiritual energy is born, the peach wood will no longer be ordinary peach wood, but will become a peach demon."

"However, this type of peach demon is far rarer than ordinary peach wood demons, and is more favored by heaven and earth, so it is called the Peach Fairy."

"It's just that the Peach Fairy lacks intelligence for a long time after birth. Plus, its yin and yang are not balanced. If it is raised properly, it can directly cultivate into a Ghost Fairy, or even be resurrected."

"That's why it's so beloved by all kinds of ghost cultivators. That's how the Peach Fairy Ghost Body came about."

Chen Ji suddenly understood.

Taoist Master Xiyun also showed a look of understanding and was amazed.

"The creation of the universe is truly extraordinary. I still have a lot to learn!"

Chen Ji stared at the Painted Skin Ghost in Miss Bai's hand.

"Could it be that this Painted Skin Ghost wants to artificially create a Peach Fairy ghost body?"

"really."

Miss Bai nodded.

"I have just seen where the peach tree is planted."

"The place of death is the gate of life, the place where yang is strong, yet these corpses are buried there, hiding hundreds of ghosts. It is indeed a fortuitous creation."

"Fortunately, it didn't last long. Only the center of the tree transformed into the Peach Fairy ghost body. It happened to be transforming today, so its full strength couldn't be fully utilized."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be so easy to apprehend this beast."

If we can get it, we will solve a big problem, but I don’t know how to deal with the matter of Jinluyuan.

Chen Ji looked around.

After the Qi restraint technique dissipated, the smell of the grave pit at the root of the peach tree had already spread.

The sounds of vomiting and cursing could be heard throughout Jinluyuan.

The human skin minions who had regained consciousness didn't know what had happened and stood there in a daze.

However, Taoist Xiyun had experience. After thinking about it, he told the Taoist how he had done things before.

"The Painted Skin Ghost can be directly reported to the underworld and taken away. The remaining human skin minions and soul-nurturing places can be reported to the City God of Water for handling."

"At least we can let the City God and his men report their achievements."

"Okay, let's do as the Taoist priest says."

Miss Bai nodded, but was too lazy to make another trip. She left Taoxian's ghost body to Chen Ji and the others to deal with, and went back to the house to rest.

But I didn't forget to remind you.

"Just show it to the City God. We must bring the tree heart back!"

"Yes."

Taoist Xiyun nodded hurriedly, but was worried about how to start the conversation without offending the City God.
