Li Jianshan walked over and saw a haphazardly piled-up mound of earth covered with pebbles. Strangely, there wasn't a single weed around it.

Just as his hand was about to touch her, Li Jianshan suddenly felt a strange sensation, and his genius mind began to work.

This place is usually very rainy, so how could it be barren? Suddenly, he remembered what Jiang Si had taught him.

In extremely yin places, due to the excessive yin energy, trees and weeds cannot grow. If you encounter such a place in the wild, stay away if you are not sure you can handle it. If you do touch it, you may get sick for several months, or you may die on the spot from what is buried there.

Li Jianshan suddenly turned around. The female ghost's long black fingernails were almost poking his face. He didn't have time to think and instinctively rolled to the side to dodge.

The female ghost, her first move failing, tried another, her eyes filled with malice, and leaped forward to attack.

Li Jianshan: Damn, you don't have to be so aggressive right from the start. It's so unethical. What good will it do to kill him?

Fortunately, Li Jianshan was talented and studied diligently, so he could hold his own for a while.

Seeing that she couldn't subdue the female ghost, black energy emanated from her body, and her black fingernails suddenly grew longer. Jiang Si, who had a conscience, gave Li Jianshan a weapon, an exorcism sword, which she had adorned with a talisman. Even so, Li Jianshan still struggled to defend himself.

He doesn't want to ask for help unless absolutely necessary.

This kind of thing will probably happen more and more often in the future, and he can't keep relying on others to save him.

During the fight, Li Jianshan noticed that the female ghost was always intentionally or unintentionally avoiding the place she had just pointed to, and he guessed that it was a burial ground.

The remains of those who died unjustly are very important.

Li Jianshan doesn't discriminate between men and women when fighting. Since his opponent showed no mercy, he didn't need to be merciful either. Regardless of how miserable her past life was, he blocked and moved, and when he was a few steps away from the burial ground, he seized the opportunity and plunged the exorcising sword into the burial ground.

The exorcising sword possessed immense power to ward off evil. In that instant, Li Jianshan heard a shrill cry, startling the chickens and dogs around him into a frenzy.

The female ghost, like a deflated balloon, collapsed to the ground.

Those eyes stared fiercely at Li Jianshan, even shedding tears of blood. She laughed sadly, "Heaven is unjust, heaven is unjust."

Seeing that he had finally stopped the man, Li Jianshan remained on guard. "What do you mean by injustice? You think it's fair that you just came up and hit me?"

He won't get caught up in it.

If he dies before being called a paragon of justice, then who will uphold justice for him?

"I died unjustly in a foreign land, waited for hundreds of years, and today I still end up like this. Tell me, how can I accept this?"

After listening, Li Jianshan felt that what the female ghost said must be true.

Wearing her new wedding dress, dying in this desolate wilderness, perhaps she really did encounter bandits, who knows what.

But he still wasn't very sympathetic: "Every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt its debtor. I already said I'd build you a grave so you wouldn't be homeless, and you still want to kill me? That doesn't make sense."

"Someone once told me that as long as I wait here, one day that bandit will pass by again. I have waited for hundreds of years, and I am about to be annihilated," the female ghost muttered, as if she hadn't spoken to anyone for hundreds of years. "You are the first person to pass by here. If not you, then who is it?"

Li Jianshan: Holy crap, this place can't have been untouched for hundreds of years, right? It's not exactly remote, is it?

Then he thought again, could he really have been the murderer who killed her in his past life, and now he's walking right into a trap? Master Jiang hasn't forgiven him yet, and is plotting to make him pay for his crime with blood?

Li Jianshan's mind raced, and he almost got himself completely confused.

Aside from being born into a wealthy family, he seems to have had a rather unlucky life, encountering all sorts of strange and unusual things. Is it because he did too much arson, murder, and plunder in his past life?

Just as Li Jianshan was about to die to atone for his sins, Jiang Si slapped him on the head, sounding exasperated. "What were you thinking?"

After that slap, Li Shan's mind cleared up considerably.

Seeing the exorcism sword held against his neck, he quickly removed it.

“A hundred-year-old vengeful ghost is indeed not to be underestimated.” Jiang Si looked at the female ghost.

Seeing that Jiang Si had broken the soul-capturing formation, the female ghost dropped her pitiful appearance and laughed sarcastically: "So you had an accomplice after all. Today, I am no match for you, so it is fine if my soul is scattered."

Unable to exact revenge in this life, there is no point in becoming a ghost.

Jiang Si said, "You have not truly committed the crime of killing, so I will not kill you. Considering that you are also a pitiful person, I can send you on your way, so that you can be spared the suffering of being rootless and bound."

Li Jianshan patted his butt and stood up, still somewhat angry. In his opinion, he was such a powerful ghost, why was he still holed up in this place? He should just charge in and kill him.

With Jiang Si around, he grew bolder. "Why don't you go out and kill that person yourself?"

The female ghost gave Li Jianshan a resentful look.

Li Jianshan: "What, in your time, ghosts weren't allowed to take revenge?"

Jiang Si: "..."

Sigh, it's her fault for not teaching properly.

"She is a bound spirit."

Li Jianshan paused, and after a long while, he managed to utter a single sentence: "I'm sorry."

He knew about the earthbound spirit, who spent its entire life experiencing the pain of dying and was unable to leave the place of death.

Thinking of this, Li Jianshan couldn't help but feel sympathy.

"That's terrible? You wouldn't be willing to be reincarnated either, would you?"

Jiang Si glanced at him sideways, "Then will you help her?"

Li Jianshan's expression was a bit unpleasant. "Master, you know my abilities. I can handle this, but how am I supposed to help him find his enemies?"

"Hundreds of years have passed, how am I supposed to find that bandit?"

Besides, in today's society governed by law, even if they were found, that person wouldn't go to jail for a crime committed in their past life, nor would they be capable of murder.

Jiang Si: "Who said she was killed by bandits?"

Li Jianshan's eyes widened. "What do you mean?"

The female ghost's eyes widened in horror. "If it wasn't the bandits who killed him, then who was it?"

"Tell me, I beg you." The female ghost knelt down and grabbed the hem of Jiang Si's clothes, pleading, "Tell me, I'll do anything."

Jiang Si looked around and said, "This place isn't remote. The reason no one comes here is because someone has set up a formation around here."

"The truth is cruel. Are you sure you want to hear it?" Jiang Si asked.

Having grown up in a wealthy family, Li Jianshan had heard all sorts of stories and began to speculate: "Could there be more to her death than meets the eye? Perhaps the person who killed her was someone she knew or something."

Jiang Si was somewhat gratified: "Not bad, you actually thought of that. Never underestimate the evil in human nature; some people do evil that you can't even imagine."

The female ghost bit her lower lip, her voice trembling: "I want to hear."
