Chapter 67 Catching the Evil Spirit

What a coincidence!

The red-tasseled spear his father used is in the Sanqing Temple. The martial arts manual his master taught him only has the first volume; it is said that the second volume has been lost for many years.

Unexpectedly, the second volume he had been searching for for many years was also with Ningbao.

While Shen Junshan was staring blankly at the manual, Ning Bao had already begun to take action.

She took out a peach wood sword and brandished it around the lonely grave, instantly raising clouds of dust from the grave, which was shrouded in gloom.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and a cloud of black mist drifted out from the lonely grave.

The black mist rushed straight towards Ning Bao.

Oh!

Ning Bao let out a soft groan and continued casting the spell. With each swing of her sword, a little bit of the black mist would dissipate.

The black mist shrank, and before Ning Bao could unleash his next sword strike, it spun once on the ground and rose again, now bearing the terrifying appearance of a ghost.

"Heh! Heh! Heh! Heh!" The evil spirit looked at Ning Bao and laughed wildly.

Each laugh was sharp and piercing, like a cat's howl or a wolf's groan, or a jackal's laugh or a fox's shout, or a crow's cry or a wolf's howl.

None of this seemed to affect Ning Bao. She stood there calmly, her sharp eyes fixed on the evil spirit.

Seeing that the doll in front of her was not afraid of her, the evil spirit could only stop laughing in boredom.

"Little one, you can see me? And you're not afraid of me?"

Ning Bao stared directly at it without fear.

"I'm here to arrest you."

"Heh! Heh! Heh! Heh! What an arrogant little brat, but after our exchange, you do have some skill."

I had no idea there were such powerful beings in the mortal realm? And they were just babies!

Or are you not human at all, but merely disguised as one to deceive me?

Ningbao puffed out her cheeks angrily.

"You're not human, your whole family isn't human."

Stop talking nonsense! I don't have time to chat with you, let's get started!

As Ning Bao spoke, she once again swung her peach wood sword and leaped into the air. This time, she didn't waste any time and each move was a fatal blow.

In the blink of an eye, the hungry ghost was locked inside the Soul-Suppressing Talisman by Ning Bao.

Although the demon was unwilling, she could only reluctantly lower her head and beg for mercy.

"Little Celestial Master, Grandma, please let me go! I promise I will never cause trouble again, really. If I lie again, may I be reduced to ashes."

"Ha!" Ning Bao sneered.

"No need to wait until later, I'll make you vanish into thin air in a moment."

You could have been reborn into a better family, but instead you linger in the human world, harming living beings…”

"I have harmed the Holy Spirit?" The demon's face was filled with despair.

"Why didn't anyone come to save me when others were harming me?"

Back then, I devoted myself to managing the household and taking care of my mother-in-law, and used all my dowry to help my husband take the imperial examination. However, after he passed the exam, he directly gave me a letter of divorce, asking me to abandon my wife and become his concubine, while he turned around and married a noblewoman.

While I was struggling in the inner quarters, he was flirting with other women. I had finally managed to raise my son alone, but unexpectedly, my son was killed by that poisonous woman when he was only ten years old and had just passed the imperial examination.

I thought that once I died, I could be with my son, but I never expected that I would be able to find him even after guarding his grave for so many years.

I never thought of harming living beings to nourish my own soul in the mortal world, but later I realized that since fate has been unfair to me, why should I care about the life and death of others?

Ning Bao frowned as she looked at the evil spirit; something was wrong. She quickly raised her voice and asked.

"What is your son's surname, given name, and birth date and time?"

Without much thought, the evil spirit told him the truth. Ning Bao carefully calculated for a moment and then said to the evil spirit,

"Your son is not dead, and he is alive and well..."

"No way, you're lying to me?"
