Hong Kong Ghost Story: I've become an apprentice of Chung Fat-pak and will only play in the pea

The place was covered in dust, and the doors were worn out, clearly indicating that no one had lived there for a long time.

Lin Xuan had only taken two steps inside when he saw a door locked with a lock that was rusted and broken from the long time it had been there.

Lin Xuan had only taken two steps closer when Maria came up to stop him.

"This is the priest's meditation room; you cannot go in!"

When Lin Xuan looked over, Maria added, "I don't have a key either."

“This lock is so rusty, it would probably open with a push!” Lin Xuan said.

“No way!” Maria frowned. “Even so, we can’t go in. It’s disrespectful to the priest.”

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Xuan pushed hard, and the door was flung open, the lock falling to the ground.

Then, a putrid smell wafted out from inside the door.

The room was filled with garlic cloves, and the most striking things were a black wooden coffin and a skeleton.

Lin Xuan went forward to examine the coffin, which was empty.

Lin Xuan had already pushed the door open and gone inside. Maria wanted to stop him but couldn't, so she could only follow him in.

As soon as she entered, Maria saw the skeleton and screamed, recognizing it as the remains of one of the two priests from back then.

She believed that the other party had encountered evil spirits, lost the battle, and died here.

“So you weren’t missing, but you fought against evil spirits here and died here. I will tell the church about this and restore your reputation!” Mary made the sign of the Catholic cross on her chest and prayed.

"No, I think he won. Otherwise, Zhao Family Village wouldn't have been so peaceful for the past ten years." Lin Xuan pointed to the chest of the skeleton. "Look, he wasn't killed, he committed suicide!"

A wooden cross was stuck in the chest of the skeleton, and judging from the posture of the skeleton, it was indeed a suicide.

Sister Maria was very surprised.

I don't understand. If the priest had won the struggle and defeated the evil, why would he commit suicide?

Suddenly, a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder sounded outside.

Not long after, it started to drizzle.

"The sun was shining brightly just now, and now it's raining. The weather really changes in an instant!" Maria said in surprise.

Four young nuns and Baozhu quickly came in from outside and hid in the meditation room.

The entire church was very dilapidated, leaking everywhere, except for the meditation room, where rainwater couldn't get in.

"Such a commotion..."

Lin Xuan looked up at the sky outside and understood. He guessed that the Western vampire had been dug out.

In the story, Uncle Ying led his men to find fresh water, located the water level, marked it, and arranged for people to dig in that spot.

However, a group of bats changed the water level markings in order to save the Western vampire.

The villagers of Zhao Family Village hired someone to dig, but in the end, they dug up the Western vampire instead.

As Lin Xuan was thinking about the plot, suddenly, from a hidden compartment in the church meditation room, bats flew out from the ceiling, passing by the four young nuns and startling them into screaming.

"You still say there are no bats? Here's the proof!" Baozhu shouted, he was actually quite frightened.

After Maria and the four young nuns screamed, their expressions changed drastically.

There really are bats here. Does that mean they're really going to have to burn down their church?

Along with Maria, the five nuns were filled with unease and were just about to try to reconcile with Lin Xuan.

"You all stay here, I'll go out and take a look!" Lin Xuan walked out of the church and, braving the light rain, chased after the direction where the many bats had gone.

"Sigh, it's raining outside, you'll get sick if you go out like this!"

"God loves the world and will protect this young man from disease."

……

In the meditation room, many nuns prayed for Lin Xuan, wishing him good health and that he would not fall ill.

As soon as Lin Xuan stepped out of the church, he saw that the sky had darkened. Not only the church, but countless bats flew out from all directions, heading in a certain direction.

The swarm of bats was dark and dense, seemingly endless.

What's most unusual is that the bats here are all very large, mostly the size of a palm, and many are even larger, with bodies the size of a soccer ball, making them look nothing like ordinary bats.

Lin Xuan frowned slightly, knowing that these bats must have been created by Western vampires. He continued walking towards the water level without stopping.

Lin Xuan, a fifth-level Earth Master, possessed the Phantom Step technique. He sprinted through the light rain at an extremely fast speed and arrived at the scene in no time.

"twitter!"

At this water level, a large swarm of bats is flying all over the sky.

One group of bats carried a corpse and flew away into the distance, while another group of bats blocked Uncle Ying and his companions, preventing them from escaping and also unable to stop the bats from carrying the corpse.

Although Uncle Ying's cultivation had broken through to the level of Earth Master, he currently had no magical artifacts and could not easily deal with these bats with his bare hands. He could only use some talismans he carried with him to protect himself and the villagers of Zhao Family Village.

"Senior Uncle, I've arrived!"

Lin Xuan gave a soft shout, cast a golden light spell on himself, and his body radiated golden light. Holding the Seven Star Sword, he charged into the swarm of bats.

Lin Xuan naturally took the Seven Star Sword, a sixth-grade magic weapon, with him wherever he went.

Normally, it can be easily carried in a sword pouch or hung on the waist, without any trouble.

"Qingyuan Sword Technique!"

A faint blue light emanated from the Seven Star Sword. With a single swing, several bats were killed, their corpses falling to the ground.

There's no need to use the Lightning Strike Fist to deal with these bats.

[Ding! 1 mutated bat killed. Reward: 5 Merit Points.]

[Ding! 1 mutated bat killed. Reward: 5 Merit Points.]

……

As a series of notification sounds rang out, Lin Xuan became even more engrossed in the killing spree.

He never expected that killing these bats would actually earn him merit points.

Although there aren't many merit points, only 5, there are still a lot of them!

There are so many bats, and they keep flying over. There must be nearly ten thousand of them!

If you kill them all, you'll definitely get a lot of merit points!

A fiery glint appeared in Lin Xuan's eyes.

These aren't bats, they're practically countless merit points!

Qingyuan Sword Technique!

Hundreds of void swords radiating a bluish light shot out, each sword taking the life of at least one bat.

Bats fly in the sky at a considerable speed, but they fly in swarms, densely packed together. Even if Lin Xuan doesn't look in the direction and just swings his sword randomly, he can kill several of them.

[Ding! 1 mutated bat killed. Reward: 5 Merit Points.]

[Ding! 1 mutated bat killed. Reward: 5 Merit Points.]

……

System notifications kept coming in.

Lin Xuan was surrounded by golden light, focusing solely on killing and showing no fear of the bats' attacks.

Countless bats swarmed at him, but were all deflected by the golden light, unable to harm him in the slightest.

Furthermore, the Azure Origin Sword Technique allows for prolonged combat. Lin Xuan repeatedly condensed hundreds of void swords to kill bats, yet his spiritual energy remained largely unconsumed.

The raindrops fell on him, but were kept away by Lin Xuan's golden light.

Demons cannot harm you, nor can any magic penetrate you!

The surrounding elders were all stunned.

Is that human being? !

The human body can emit golden light!

A person wielding a long sword can unleash streaks of sword energy!

Is this a martial arts film?!

Uncle Ying was stunned. He knew from Zhong Fabai that Lin Xuan had learned the Golden Light Mantra, but he did not expect that Lin Xuan also had such exquisite swordsmanship!

The Golden Light Mantra combined with this sword technique, along with the Seven Star Sword, is simply unstoppable, killing anyone who gets in its way!

In particular, Lin Xuan's spiritual energy seemed inexhaustible, and the unrestrained sword energy he unleashed made Uncle Ying feel heartbroken just thinking about it!

If he were to unleash so much sword energy, he would probably exhaust all his spiritual energy in less than a minute!

Lin Xuan was able to hold on for so long, and he still seemed to have plenty of energy left, as if he hadn't used up much energy.

Just outrageous!

In Uncle Ying's eyes, Lin Xuan is no longer like a geomancer, but a celestial master!

Only a Celestial Master could squander spiritual energy so recklessly!
