I Possess a Scroll of Demon-Subduing Records

That was such a brilliant move, Lin Yi just wanted to give him a 6.

Wang Liang looked at Qin Shi with a depressed expression, and the more he looked, the more frightened he became. He quickly took off his clothes and covered Qin Shi's head with them, which made him feel a little more comfortable.

When can we go back to the city?

He didn't want to stay in the village for another second; this village was just too unlucky.

"Don't worry, the Prefect's reinforcements should be on their way and will probably arrive soon."

Before Guan Buping could finish speaking, he heard the sound of rapid hoofbeats.

When reinforcements were called, they arrived.

After all, it was the prefect's own son who had gotten into trouble. After Niu Er brought the news back, the prefect's men immediately split into two groups: one group gave money, and the other group rushed towards Qinghe Village.

He Dong was much faster than a horse; he could get the money and reach the village first to notify Guan Buping and Lin Yi to rescue people. But the reinforcements were also on their way, and they should have arrived by now.

Wang Liang was greatly encouraged. As a young master with only rudimentary martial arts skills, he felt safer when there were many people around.

He made up his mind that he would never mess around in the village again. It was more reliable in the county town; at least if anything happened, his father could come to his rescue immediately.

Now that the troops have arrived, Lin Yi and Guan Buping can go back.

However, when Guan Buping looked at Qin's corpse, he still gave Lin Yi a questioning look.

Lin Yi said, "Just leave me one horse."

Guan Buping knew Lin Yi's plan, but he didn't try to dissuade him. He just warned him, "This place is dangerous. Be careful in everything you do."

A passionate young man only grows up after experiencing setbacks firsthand.

This was his own choice, and Guan Buping could only wish him good luck.

Guan Buping led Wang Liang to meet up with the reinforcements. Sure enough, they were the commanders of the prefectural governor's office. Niu Er was also in the group, riding a flying crossbow.

Seeing that Wang Liang was safe and sound, the commander in charge of the troops breathed a sigh of relief. Guan Buping left Feidu with Lin Yi and went to ride with others.

On the way, he saw two more corpses of Jingye Division patrolmen, the same two that Chen Rui and his companion had asked to return first.

At this point, of the eight ninth-rank cultivators from Xingsha County who had participated in this trip to Qinghe Village, only Lin Yi and Niu Er remained.

Guan Buping didn't say another word along the way. When he returned to Xingsha County, he went directly to the yamen to find Liu Yuan, but when he arrived, Liu Yuan had already disappeared.

Clearly, he was feeling guilty. Upon hearing that Guan Buping had returned, he knew that his actions would inevitably be exposed, so he didn't take any chances and ran away immediately.

"Demons are not scary in this world, it is people's hearts that are scary. Lin Yi, when will you understand this?"

Guan Buping sighed sadly, wrote down an arrest warrant for Liu Yuan on the table, and after thinking it over, finally picked up his pen and wrote on a pale yellow piece of paper: "Sister-in-law..."

After putting pen to paper, Guan Buping crossed it out, found another piece of paper, changed the title, and wrote much more comfortably.

"Junior Sister Qu, it's been a long time. How have you been?"

"Since your passing, you have lived in seclusion in the mountains for many years. I did not wish to disturb your peaceful cultivation, but since the Lord began to seek the Dao, the people's lives have become increasingly difficult, and the evil calamities have intensified. My meager strength is insufficient to withstand the overwhelming force."

My crippled body is nothing to be pitied, but I fear the lineage will be lost. Fortunately, I have met someone with exceptional talent and a personality similar to my master. I wish to take him as my disciple, but I fear I may mislead him. Therefore, I implore my junior sister to come down from the mountain to continue the family line..."

Lin Yi had no idea that Guan Buping had found him a mentor; at that moment, he was happily leveling up.

When Guan Buping looked at him questioningly before, he hesitated a bit, after all, his own safety was the most important thing.

However, He Dong sent a message.

"I've discovered a haunted den. Maybe the ghost you're looking for is there. Come quick!"

A pro invited me to a dungeon run, of course I had to join...

Chapter 18 You don't have some kind of weird fetish, do you?

There are indeed more demons and monsters in the wild than in Xing Sha City. Lin Yi stayed in Xing Sha City for so long that he basically wiped out all the vengeful ghosts in the city, but he only managed to accumulate sixty years of cultivation. However, when he arrived in Qinghe Village, his cultivation level soared to two hundred and ten years in just one day.

Now, He Dong is going to take him to a dungeon again.

After parting ways with Guan Buping, Lin Yi went to meet up with He Dong.

To be honest, ever since he discovered he owed He Dong money, Lin Yi has felt particularly safe when he's with her.

"Where are the ghosts?"

Lin Yi's expression upon hearing about ghosts was exactly the same as He Dong's when he heard about money.

He Dong was stunned by his enthusiasm: "We're going to catch ghosts to be your ghost servants, not to steal your wife. Why are you so excited? Do you have some kind of special fetish?"

Thinking that Lin Yi seemed to have some feelings for him, He Dong silently drifted away several steps.

Lin Yi: "..."

What are you afraid of? I wouldn't dare kill you!

"Are we going to catch ghosts?"

Lin Yi heard the key words.

“That’s right. Isn’t the cultivation method of your Hundred Ghosts Sect all about using vengeful ghosts? The ghosts you raised before all died on the way to escape. Now that you’re in the Jingye Division, it’s not convenient to look for them. Now that you’re out of the city, it’s a good time to find a suitable one.”

Lin Yi then realized there was this reason, but he didn't know the Hundred Ghosts Sect's techniques or how to raise ghosts.

Fortunately, he has a foolproof plan.

"Old He, have you forgotten that I've lost my memory?"

"Don't call me Lao He, it sounds awful."

He Dong said to Lin Yi with disdain, "How could someone call a girl 'Old He'? What was he thinking?"

"Then what should I call you? Dong'er seems too intimate, and Miss He is too distant. Old He is the best, friendly but not intimate."

"Just call me Yukihime!"

"Hey, why is your name Xue Ji? Is your name He Dongxue?"

He Dong sighed helplessly. It was really difficult to get along with someone who had amnesia. She would subconsciously feel that the other person knew, but the other person knew nothing at all.

“My name used to be Xue Ji, but after I left the Hundred Ghosts Sect with you, I changed my name to He Dong.”

"Then why did you choose this name?"

Lin Yi asked with great curiosity, since the two of them were still on their way and had nothing else to do, they might as well chat and get to know each other better.

"He is the name you gave me. At that time, we happened to run to the side of a big river. Dong is because all I remember is that I died in winter."

"Then you should be called He Dongmei!"

"..."

Although he didn't know why Lin Yi said that, He Dong still sensed a hint of mischief.

She blew a gust of cold wind in a bad mood, so strong that Lin Yi couldn't open his eyes. He Dong only stopped when he begged for mercy and admitted his mistake.

"Humph!"

He Dong said she was still a little upset, so Lin Yi had to coax her, saying, "Don't be angry. I just think He Dong sounds nice. Since you've given up the identity of Xue Ji and are starting a new life, I'll still call you Dong'er from now on!"

"Didn't you say this was too intimate?"

"We're practically family, it's only right that we be closer, isn't it!"

"Hmph, call me whatever you want."

As He Dong spoke, she drifted away on her own. Lin Yi quickly followed behind her, but couldn't help thinking to himself, "This thousand-year-old ghost looks like a mature woman, but her voice and tone are like a little girl's. If she were alive, how many people would she have charmed?"

Lin Yi felt that he definitely wouldn't be able to control himself.

Unfortunately, it's a ghost.

He Dong led Lin Yi on a short journey, and the two of them soon arrived at the riverbank.

This is a section of the Xiang River, and the yin energy that He Dong sensed was in this place.

"Why are we in the water? Are they all water ghosts?"

He Dong was also somewhat surprised. However, the overwhelming yin energy and mixed atmosphere must be a place where ghosts gathered. Moreover, the fact that ghosts could gather meant that there must be some ghosts with profound cultivation among them.

As for Ghost King He Dong, that's out of the question; the waters are too deep, and Lin Yi can't handle it.

She could help Lin Yi subdue anyone below the Ghost King.

In a few days, she will be undergoing her tribulation. This is her third tribulation, and it is very likely that she will face a life-or-death situation this time. If she dies, Lin Yi will probably be helpless against the Hundred Ghosts Sect.

She didn't specifically want to do anything for Lin Yi; she just saw that there was a gathering of yin energy, so she decided to help him catch a ghost.

"Are we going to go into the water to catch ghosts?"

Lin Yi still has a slight fear of water, not to mention the possibility of water ghosts in the water.

"I'll go down and take a look first."

After He Dong finished speaking, she jumped into the water and quickly disappeared. Not long after, she surfaced and said with some regret, "There is a water tomb below. For some reason, the outer array was damaged, and the Yin energy leaked out. Those mixed auras are emitted by the vengeful spirits of those who were buried alive in the tomb."

Should we go down and take a look?

Lin Yi was somewhat excited, and his fear of water had lessened considerably. He often read novels, and was particularly interested in tomb raiding and the like. In this world of gods and ghosts, perhaps tombs also represented opportunities?

He Dong sighed, "The ghosts in the tomb are too ferocious and have no reason whatsoever. They can only be killed, not subdued. Let's go somewhere else!"

They can be killed, but not captured. Isn't that perfect?

Lin Yi immediately put on a righteous and stern face and said, "Since you say that the seal has been broken, the evil spirits here will definitely roam out and kill people. If we do nothing, the people in the surrounding villages will suffer. Since we have come here, it can be considered a kind of fate. Why don't we take this opportunity to quell the hidden dangers here?"

This light of righteousness blinded He Dong's demonic eyes.

She's a thousand-year-old vengeful ghost; she should be grateful if she doesn't go out and do bad things. Now, Lin Yi is dragging her to do good deeds and accumulate merit.

It's really speechless.

"You need to think this through, my time is running out."

He Dong said very seriously, "If I help you get rid of the ghosts here, I won't help you find any other ghosts."

"It's okay, let's get in the water now!"

Lin Yi's attitude was firm, and seeing this, He Dong stopped trying to persuade him and simply led Lin Yi into the water.

"It is already bad karma for a living person to enter the land of the dead. In the tomb, you must not be greedy for money, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

Before arriving at the tomb, He Dong carefully gave Lin Yi some instructions, which left Lin Yi speechless.
