The ultimate master in the city

Hearing the scream, the female ghost went outside and gave chase, shouting, "Brother Gua, why are you running?"

How could Su Sungua dare to look back? He took off running as fast as he could towards the place he had agreed upon with Old Liu and the Taoist priest.

The female ghost chased after her relentlessly, shouting, "Brother Gua! Did you hear something from someone?"

Su Sungua remained silent, focusing only on running away.

The female ghost grew anxious and cursed, "Su Sungua, you coward! In my previous life, I was tricked into becoming someone's wife. I was resentful and committed suicide. After death, my resentment could not be released, so I received the paper house, paper car, and paper dressing table you wove, which finally gave me relief. That's why I came to repay you. I never thought of harming you, yet you listened to others' slander and dared to abandon me?"

Upon hearing this, Su Sungua realized that she herself had admitted it! Her scalp tingled, and she ran even faster!

The female ghost cried out again, "If you come back, I'll forgive you. Let's live a good life together, okay?"

Su Sungua gritted his teeth and remained silent. Seeing that they were almost at the agreed-upon place, he shouted, "Brother Liu, Taoist priest, save me! She really is a ghost!"

Old Liu and the Taoist priest had been waiting for a long time. When Su Sungua arrived, Old Liu pulled him aside and made him squat down. The Taoist priest, holding a peach wood sword, shouted urgently, "You beast! Cease your arrogance! By the decree of the Supreme Lord Laozi! Take this sword!"

The Taoist priest set up an array, and with a loud shout, the copper coins strung on cotton thread next to him spun around, and the small mirror also shone brightly.

Old Liu and Su Sungua thought the Taoist priest seemed reliable, so they felt somewhat relieved. Then, by the moonlight, they looked back the way they had come, and to their surprise, they couldn't see the female ghost following them. Where had she gone?

Turning to look at the Taoist priest, the two of them were completely dumbfounded!

The Taoist priest threw down his peach wood sword, made a peach blossom finger gesture, and pulled out a comb from somewhere. He combed his hair absentmindedly, acting all coy and effeminate like a woman.

Su Sungua subconsciously asked, "Brother Liu, what kind of magic is this, Taoist priest? It looks weird!"

Old Liu rubbed his eyes and looked at the copper coin and mirror beside him. He saw that the copper coin was broken and the mirror was shattered. His heart skipped a beat. Could it be that the Taoist priest couldn't defeat that female ghost?

Just then, the Taoist priest, looking effeminate, ran to a big tree. He had a bandage on his hand, which he swung onto a branch, tied in a knot, stuffed his neck into it, kicked his legs, rolled his eyes, and stuck out his tongue. He was clearly breathing more out than inhaling.

Su Sungua stared in disbelief, then asked, "What kind of magic is this?"

Old Liu was terrified. He grabbed Su Sungua and yelled, "It's over! The Taoist priest can't beat that female ghost! Run!"

The two took off running, but a red shadow flashed behind them. The female ghost emerged from the Taoist priest's body, her hair disheveled, and she raised her claws to grab him. "Don't run! You'll all die! You'll all die! Ahahahaha..."

Old Liu and Su Sungua were terrified, their scalps tingling, and they were so scared that they wet themselves. They wished their parents had given them one less leg and ran forward as fast as they could.

Just as the female ghost was about to catch up, perhaps due to their good fortune, a few men carrying air rifles and hunting birds appeared in front of them, cursing fiercely: "Run, my ass! Do you think the ghost will eat you?"

Isn't that just a ghost eating her? Seeing that there were many people, the two mustered their courage and looked back, only to find that the female ghost had vanished in an instant!

They figured it was probably a case of ghosts being afraid of bad people, so they followed the bird hunters around for a while. After wandering halfway up the mountain, they got closer to Old Liu's house. The two of them gritted their teeth, left the group, and ran home. They closed the door, one holding a knife and the other a rice scoop, and stared intently at the door.

Strangely, after waiting all night and staring until my eyes ached, the female ghost still didn't appear.

When dawn broke, the two of them sat down on the ground, still feeling shocked and frightened as they recalled their experience the previous night.

But I don't know what it looks like now, or if it's dead.

Old Liu thought to himself, "The Taoist priest did this to help us, so we can't be ungrateful." So, in broad daylight, he gathered a group of villagers and, together with Su Sungua, went to the place where the formation had been set up the night before.

When they arrived at the scene, their hearts sank. The Taoist priest was hanging from a big tree, his face purplish-black, his eyes wide open, and his tongue sticking out two feet long. He was dead.

Old Liu thought to himself, "Well, I didn't kill the ghost, and I even lost the Taoist priest's life."

When someone dies, they should be buried in peace. You can't just leave their body to rot in the wilderness, can you? But this Taoist priest was a monk and only had one temple. So Old Liu and Su Sungua led a group of people to carry the body to the temple.

There was also a young Taoist priest, about sixteen or seventeen years old, in the temple; he was the master's disciple.

The deceased Taoist priest's Taoist name was Ziyun, and the young Taoist priest's Taoist name was Heiyun; their names were quite strange.

The young Taoist priest, Black Cloud, had no idea where his master had gone. Upon seeing his master's tragic death, he first wailed loudly. After wiping away his tears, he said, "My master was a highly accomplished Taoist master who worshipped the Eastern Emperor. He had seen through the ways of the mortal world. How could he possibly hang himself? What did you do to him?"

Old Liu quickly explained, recounting how Su Sungua encountered the female ghost, how Master Ziyun set up the formation to kill the ghost, and how he died.

Upon hearing this, the young Taoist priest, Hei Yun, beat his chest and stamped his feet, "Oh dear! Master was foolish! To kill this wronged ghost, all we had to do was open her coffin, fix her corpse, and that would have been enough! Master died unjustly!"

Upon hearing this, Old Liu and Su Sungua immediately cried for help, saying, "Oh dear! Young Taoist priest, you must use your magic to subdue her, or we'll all die!"

The young Taoist priest, Black Cloud, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't worry! My master's revenge cannot go unavenged. Come with me, I'll go and subdue her right now!"

Black Cloud Taoist Priest, along with a bunch of guys, Old Liu and Su Sungua, went to the market town to find out where the female ghost was buried. They bought two iron shovels, slaughtered a black dog, and got half a basin of black dog blood.

Arriving at the place where the female ghost was buried, Old Liu and Su Sungua dug up the grave, while the young Taoist priest scattered paper money and tied ink lines around it...

When the grave was dug up and the coffin lid was opened, Old Liu and Su Sungua looked inside, exclaimed "Ah!" and ran far away.

The female ghost corpse in the coffin stared with her eyes wide open, her claws outstretched, and her hair disheveled, as if she had come to life. The most striking thing was that a spotted old snake as thick as an arm was coiled around her stomach.

As soon as the old snake saw the person, it raised its head with a "whoosh" and flicked its tongue, looking like it was about to bite.

The young Taoist priest, Black Cloud, was also startled. He took a few steps back and said, "An old snake coiled up like a corpse—either it's a snake demon or a mother snake giving birth! Leave immediately, or I'll spare your life; otherwise, I'll kill you without mercy!"

Strangely enough, as soon as the young Taoist priest Hei Yun spoke, the old snake seemed to understand, slowly crawling out of the coffin and disappearing into the grass.

Old Liu and Su Sungua, emboldened by their presence, leaned closer to take a look, and exclaimed "Ouch!" as they felt nauseous.

The female ghost's corpse had a large hole in its belly, inside which were a bunch of sticky snake eggs.

"What... what's going on? The old snake is still making its nest in there?" Old Liu asked the young Taoist priest Black Cloud with a dry expression.

The young Taoist priest, Black Cloud, waved his hand and said, "It's alright! Watch me cast my spell!"

He told the two to step back, then grabbed four nails and an iron hammer, jumped into the coffin, and hammered the nails into the corpse's limbs with a clanging sound. After finishing, he jumped out of the coffin, splashed black dog blood on the corpse, and kept chanting incantations while forming hand seals.

Finally, he grabbed a pile of dry firewood, threw it into the coffin, lit it, and burned the corpse and snake eggs together.

Watching the fire engulf the coffin, he then said smugly to Old Liu and his companion, "First, we extinguish the yin energy, then settle the remains. Black dog blood dispels evil spirits, then we burn her body. Let's see how she can cause trouble then. Isn't that clever?"

When Old Liu and his companion saw this young Taoist priest, they realized he seemed even more impressive than their master, Master Ziyun! They immediately felt much more at ease and showered him with compliments.

Strangely, just as the corpses were about to be burned, the once sunny day suddenly became overcast, and a light drizzle began to fall.

Upon seeing this, the young Taoist priest Hei Yun's expression changed drastically. He roared, "Water belongs to Yin, and so does a ghost corpse. The two cannot meet! Quickly bury the grave!"

Old Liu and Su Sungua didn't understand what had happened, so they had no choice but to follow the instructions, quickly put the coffin lid on, and then use shovels to shovel soil to bury the grave.

After the grave was reburied, the young Taoist priest Hei Yun breathed a sigh of relief and laughed, "Alright, the female ghost is gone, we can rest easy now!"

Old Liu and Su Sungua exchanged a glance and breathed a sigh of relief!

Then everyone went home.

Sure enough! The female ghost didn't come that night, and Old Liu and Su Sungua were completely relieved.

About four or five days later, that evening Su Sungua came over with two side dishes to drink with Old Liu, while Liu Zhenguo poured the wine and served the dishes.

The two men sighed as they talked about the ghost from a few days ago, but since it was a scary story, they changed the subject. After a few rounds of drinks and dishes, they were having a great time chatting when suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Liu Zhenguo ate a peanut and went to open the door. As soon as he opened it, he froze completely.

Old Liu and Su Sungua found it strange and ran over to look outside. What they saw made their scalps tingle and their spines go cold...

I like the novel "The Strongest Master in the City".
