Yuan Li was originally a wisp of ghost fire, drifting daily in the Underworld's Forgetfulness River. All spirits and monsters desired to devour her, calling her the "Underworld's Tang M...
Possessed by a ghost mother.
Although the blade is broken, the tip is still sharp.
The ghost mother raised her hand slightly and aimed the tip of the knife at the width of a finger below her eyelid, but scraped it gently and slowly, leaving bright red blood marks on her fair skin.
The piercing pain made her beg for mercy desperately. Out of the instinct for survival, she changed her words and called out to the ghost mother, A Niang, to beg for mercy. However, each time she called A Niang, it became a death warrant.
After hearing this, the ghost mother's face turned extremely ugly, and she became more and more cruel and brutal. She cut off her flesh piece by piece with a method similar to the punishment of slow slicing, but she was able to ensure that she would not die immediately.
Before she died, three severed hands crawled out from the dark corner and climbed onto her body.
Two severed hands pried her mouth open, and another roughly pulled out her tongue.
The ghost mother swung her knife and cut off the tongue.
The severed hand grabbed the severed half of the tongue and placed it in the earthenware jar under the wooden table where she was lying.
She died instantly in fear of death, despair and pain, with her eyes open.
Her soul was sucked out by the soul-summoning seal on the inner layer of the ghost mother's robe, and half of her soul was exposed outside, still in the painful state of being tortured and killed before her death.
The ghost mother wrapped her arms and hands with her robe and easily captured the little girl's soul.
After squatting down, the ghost mother stuffed her soul into the earthenware jar under the wooden table.
No one knew what secrets were hidden in the earthenware jar, but the ghost mother forced the soul of the little girl that Yuanli had transformed into into into the jar, filling it up to the mouth, facing upwards.
The jar was too small and crowded to the limit. Her body was squeezed and deformed with pain, but compared with the pain brought by the brutal torture she suffered before her death that was now being repeated on her body, it was nothing.
The ghost mother took out a piece of black cloth that could seal the soul and completely covered the opening of the altar.
The last light she could see also dissipated at this moment.
This kind of painful and desperate torture was unbearable for Yuanli. For the first time, she wanted to temporarily escape from the nightmare where the trapped soul was passing on information about the past to her.
Fortunately, she was quickly awakened by Heng Jin's spell.
For three consecutive days, every time she dreamed, she turned into the little girl named Qingmiao and felt her pain.
Watching her, she turned into a so-called obedient child, firmly memorizing the nursery rhyme she resisted, and obediently called the ghost mother A Niang. She was trapped in the earthenware jar with the others, and was released from time to time to play skipping rope with everyone.
Gradually, the ghost mother finally began to be kind to her again. She held her in her arms and told her stories, and kindly asked her if she wanted to reincarnate and live forever to be with her forever.
She said she wanted to be reincarnated.
The ghost mother did not force her to answer why she didn't say she wanted to be with her forever, but patiently taught her a new game: feeding her new mother fruit.
This game is actually about luring women who have already fallen into a fantasy world where they think they are dreaming because of the formations and ghosts in the house, taking advantage of their extreme desire to have a child, pretending to have a dream about pregnancy, awakening the women's maternal love, and finally making them eat the fruits grown on the ghost's corpse, so that they will definitely become pregnant with a ghost baby.
If the couple can conceive naturally, the ghost energy contained in the fruit will invade the fetus and help the baby's soul attach to the fetus.
If the couple fails to conceive naturally, the ghost energy contained in the fruit will quickly absorb the mother's essence, thereby catalyzing the mother's entire uterus that nurtures the fetus into a fetus.
However, the ghost fetus born in this way does not have naturally grown internal organs and intestinal blood vessels, it is just an empty shell.
If the empty body is not filled with the baby's internal organs and blood vessels of the same size in time, the ghost fetus will find it difficult to survive and grow.
The last time she dreamed, the dream showed her the tragic deaths of dozens of children who had suffered the same fate as the little girl Qing Miao.
Feeling the same emotions and pain as them, Yuanli had a splitting headache.
After waking up, the feeling of collapse lingered for a long time, which further strengthened her determination to get rid of this evil at all costs.
Finally, on the eighth day of being trapped, the forbidden fruit given by Heng Jin took effect, and the ghosts of the two ghost children brought by the ghost mother successfully attached themselves to the fetus.
The moment she succeeded, the ghost mother couldn't wait to pull Yuanli out of the room.
At this moment, the main room on the first floor has been arranged into a mourning hall. A formation is drawn on the ground with gray-white powder that looks like incense ash. The central pattern resembles a blooming red spider lily, while the outer formation looks like Taoist runes.
Yuanli had read many ancient books about the underworld with Cha Suxun. After a little thought, she recognized that this formation was composed of two formations, one inside and one outside, which complemented each other.
The soul and spirit are separated in the center, and the soul is sealed and the body is stabilized in the outer realm.
Heng Jin was tied up and carried out by four or five ghost boys, and then randomly abandoned in the garden for guarding. Qian Lian and Jiuwei were also there.
The entire wooden house came back to life the moment the ghost mother laughed loudly towards the sky, and everyone started laughing along with her. All the doors and windows were closed tightly, not letting a single light into the house.
The severed hands were placed in pairs, holding dark red candles of uneven color, bringing light, and were arranged in an orderly manner outside the formation, forming a circle.
Taking a small dish of black ink and a brush handed to her by a ghost boy, the ghost mother approached Yuanli, cut her right index finger, and used the ink dish to collect the blood from her fingertip.
He waited until the originally solidified black ink became moist as water due to the incorporation of blood, and then he stopped squeezing the blood from his fingertips.
"You are truly the best mother body you'll ever find in a thousand years. It's worth all my hard work and years of thinking!"
The ghost mother dipped a brush into the black ink mixed with the blood from her fingertips and drew talismans and scriptures on Yuanli's body.
When the last stroke was completed, Yuanli felt a piercing pain, unable to speak, and her body could not move. Even if she activated all the demonic power in Li Ji's demon pill, she could not get out of the predicament.
She once again controlled the broken hands to bring fourteen incense burners and stacked them around Yuanli.
There are three incense sticks burning in each incense burner, and they all emit a unique fragrance.
This fragrance contains the scent of raw rhinoceros horn that Peng Junru ignited in order to renew his human-ghost relationship with the female ghost Xu Xirong during the incident of the twin evil spirits in Huisheng Bay during his first life.
Raw rhinoceros horn cannot be burned, as burning it can communicate with the underworld spirits.
The moment the thin smoke rose, the room became brighter. The source of the light was the faint light emitted by the ghosts half-stuck in the wall.
These ghosts seemed to have lost their consciousness and were stuck in the wall in a daze, with dull eyes and no response.
Yuanli could no longer count how many souls there were within her sight, not to mention that there were even more in the corner of the wall behind her.
The ghost mother raised the bell in her hand and began to dance like a great witch on earth offering a sacrifice to pray for rain, her chanting voice shrill and ethereal.
The bells in her hands were more exquisite and complex than those of the monsters in Huamian Village, and even her dance steps were more beautiful, combining both strength and softness, which was very spectacular.
Yuanli was attracted by her dance and singing, and unconsciously wanted to get closer, and gradually began to lose consciousness.
Before he fell into coma, he heard the distant call of Chi Huang in his mind, which made him regain some consciousness. His eyes, which were heavy and about to squint, became bright and relaxed.
The ghost mother looked at her in surprise, panic-stricken, but quickly adjusted her mood and continued to chant with concentration.
After Yuanli secretly asked Chihuang, she relaxed all her guard and let you go as the Ghost Mother wished.
When she opened her eyes again, her soul had left her body.
The ghosts of her two children also floated away from Yuanli's body, with only a small edge of the soul connected to Yuanli's lower abdomen.
The ghost mother's soul was already floating in the air, and under her feet was her skeleton covered by a black robe.
The ghost mother flew quickly towards Yuanli's body and crashed into it. The two ghosts also possessed her body back into the womb when she woke up instantly.
She controlled her body, and the moment she climbed up from the ground, she muttered with joy and excitement: "Thousands of years! I finally succeeded! Wangsheng! My husband! If you are in heaven, can you see it? I succeeded! Our family will be reunited soon."
The ghost mother extinguished the fragrance of Sheng Xi and wanted to use her magic power, but found that it was impossible.
"Why? Where's your demonic power? Why can't I control it... No, maybe I haven't fully adapted to this body yet. It will be fine once I adapt. Yes, it will be fine once I adapt."
She deceived herself into thinking that she had calmed down, but she didn't know that Yuanli had already put Li Ji's demon pill into the spiritual silver bell.
The Lingbao Silver Bell recognizes its master. Even if it is the same body, as long as the soul inside has changed, the Lingbao Silver Bell cannot be used.
As for the unsealed divine powers of Yuanli, Chihuang also helped to seal them, making it even more impossible for her to use them.
Yuanli's only worry was that the Ghost Mother would be punished by heaven before she could fully understand her intentions and plans.
The Chihuang cast a spell to allow the Ghost Mother to temporarily escape the lock of the heavenly punishment, but it could only delay it for half an hour at most.
The wooden house madly absorbed the smell of raw rhinoceros in the house, releasing the stench of corrosive mucus in the wall to cover up the strange fragrance of incense sticks. The ghost mother practiced Yuanli's expression for a long time before pretending to be the one who killed the ghost mother and escaped from the house.
Yuanli could hear her talking to Hengjin through the door, as well as the sounds of her leading them to "escape".
After the ghost mother completely left the wooden house, Yuanli summoned the Tianfan Lantern out of thin air according to the method taught by Chihuang.
At the same time, Chihuang separated from Yuanli's soul.
"Chi Huang, you said I don't have a physical body and can't prick my finger to drip blood to merge into Tian Brahma, but I can still control it to transcend souls. What should I do?"
"You have already acknowledged Tianfan as your master, so you no longer need to shed blood to awaken it before you can use it. You only need to hold the lamp in your hand and recite the scriptures for salvation, allowing its light to illuminate each soul you wish to liberate. These are not earthbound spirits, they are simply sealed, so chanting the scriptures is enough."
Yuanli looked at the hundreds of trapped souls and felt a little troubled.
If we release them now, it will inevitably attract the ghost messengers from the underworld to come and capture their souls. The Spirit Butterfly Clan has a way to hide from the underworld, but I wonder if they also have a way to discover that the ghost messengers and these souls have been released.
She didn't want to alert the enemy.
As she was thinking hard, countless silver butterflies flew out from the ground and danced around her.
As she flew, psyllies gathered in a cluster in front of her. A hand holding a red spider lily stretched out from the light and handed the flower to her.
Yuanli did not take the flower, but directly took his hand and pulled him out of the Psylocke.
"Ari, I miss you so much."
Faced with his unconcerned affection and frank words, Yuanli blushed with shame. She glanced at Chihuang sheepishly and said to him, "There's someone else."
"I know, so I've been very restrained."
