Chapter 51: Found the Corpse
For a female ghost, maintaining her appearance before death consumes too much ghost energy.
So soon she couldn't hold on any longer, and it was obvious that she understood what was happening. She quickly covered her face with two pairs of pale hands, and then turned into a wisp of smoke and floated into the box on Jiang Zhi's waist.
Jiang Zhi smiled faintly: "Well, it looks pretty good."
The female ghost chuckled, but it sounded hollow and gloomy, and still quite eerie.
The howling wind blew over, making it even colder.
Jiang Zhi watched three beasts go to the right and two beasts go to the left, so she walked to the left.
The bottom of the cliff is very deep and long.
Jiang Zhi thought for a moment and said, "Sister, how far can you float from the bottom of this cliff?"
If we can't find the ghost sister's body, we can't take her away.
A ghost cannot stray too far from its own corpse.
The ghost girl thought for a moment and said, "If I go left, I can only reach that big banyan tree. If I go right, I can reach that big rock."
Then the female ghost's body is in this section.
Jiang Zhi nodded, and then sent a message to her animals, telling them not to go too far.
"Master! Come and see if this is it?" Jiang San's voice came from the banyan tree.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Jiang Zhi said as he flew over.
After a while, Jiang Zhi came under the banyan tree. Maybe it was because it was under the huge banyan tree that it felt even more eerie and desolate.
Her eyes fell on a piece of human bones that Jiang San was looking at, which was dug out from the soil.
The human bones were white, and were stained by the dark black soil around them.
There was a black nail nailed into each bone.
"I don't know who is so vicious that he actually put nails on people's corpses." Jiang San's charming face was slightly cold, and he frowned and said, "After a person dies, the soul cannot be reincarnated. It can't find the way home, nor the way to the underworld. It can only become a ghost and gradually dissipate in the world."
But that person probably didn't expect that the woman's body fell right under a banyan tree, and banyan trees are good for raising ghosts, and the spiritual energy here is abundant, so the woman's ghost would not dissipate.
Moreover, the woman's resentment did not dissipate, and she overcame the pain of her spiritual power cutting through her body and survived with her ghost body.
Jiang Zhi was silent for a moment. She didn't know which scumbag did this. Once she found out, she would tear this scumbag into pieces.
But the female ghost was right next to him, but she still couldn't recognize her own corpse.
"Is it really my body?" The ghost asked hesitantly, "Why can't I sense it?"
"If you could sense it, you wouldn't be trapped at the bottom of this cliff." Jiang Zhi squatted down and tried to collect the corpse.
She picked up the bones one by one, making sure that nothing was missed, and then began to look at the nails.
What would happen if they were pulled out directly? "Master, it's best not to move the nails without permission." Jiang Yi said slowly, "These nails have obviously been stuck deep in these bones for a long time. If these bones are injured, the owner of the bones will also be injured and may even die."
This death is complete dissipation.
Jiang Zhi knew that if he pulled out these nails, the female ghost would be able to recover her memory, but at the same time, by pulling out these nails, the female ghost would once again have to endure the pain of the nails piercing her bones.
And this pain is not physical pain, but the pain of the ghost.
Jiang Zhi sighed, put the bones into the box and stayed with the female ghost.
The box is similar to a storage bag. It looks small on the outside but has a lot of space inside.
"Yi Yi, do you have any ideas?" Jiang Zhi asked with a sidelong glance.
Jiang Yi paused for a moment before realizing that the Yi Yi in Jiang Zhi's mouth was addressing him. He smiled shyly and nodded: "There is indeed a solution in my inheritance."
He became serious as he spoke: "The nails are evil spirits, they stay attached to the bones forever. The only way is to drive the nails into another bone. In this way, the pain and the nails will fall on the other bone. If someone is willing to bear it for her."
Jiang Yi was silent for a moment: "Sorry, this is the only way I know at the moment, but I don't know if there will be a better way in the ghost realm. After all, these things came from the ghost realm."
Jiang Zhi nodded and said, "I understand. Let's not touch this damn nail for now."
Now we can only keep the female ghost alive. After all, it is impossible to find the murderer all at once.
"This place is quite effective for cultivation. Would you like to come and practice together?" Jiang Zhi said as he sat down cross-legged.
"Okay." The five fire beasts responded.
Then the surroundings became quiet.
Jiang Zhi began to circulate his spiritual power in circles again and again.
There were also some other things surging in the darkness around, but due to the five fire beasts and the female ghost, none of them dared to come over.
One night passed.
When the day breaks, the temperature at the bottom of the cliff is not so cold anymore.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
But you can still feel the temperature is lower than usual.
After a night of practice, Jiang Zhi felt much better again.
She patted her clothes and flew up.
Jiang Zhi realized belatedly that she and the heroine were at the bottom of the cliff, and the system did not issue any tasks.
She recalled Bai He's expression last night.
Could Bai Ruanruan have encountered something?
However, Jiang Zhi quickly put it out of his mind. The danger the heroine encountered was definitely not a danger, but an opportunity. There must be a great treasure waiting for her.
Jiang Zhi returned to his room.
She suddenly remembered that she had entered the cultivation space, so didn't the beasts also enter the cultivation space? Then could the beasts' cultivation time be extended like hers?
She asked the system this question. If it was possible, wouldn’t her beasts be able to practice as fast as her?
The system answered her: "Their speed in the Beast Element is the same as outside, so they cannot enjoy the same benefits as the host."
Jiang Zhi understood. Although he was a little disappointed, he also knew the nature of the dog system, so he didn't say much.
That is to say, if Jiang Zhi summons the beasts out of the Beast Yuan in the cultivation space, the beasts will be bounced out. If they stay in the Beast Yuan, they will not be bounced out, and at the same time they will only enjoy the benefits of the Beast Yuan, which will not be superimposed with the space benefits.
No living creatures can be brought into the cultivation space.
…
Bai Ruanruan next door woke up with a start and touched her stomach reflexively.
She looked down and found that she was not cut open like she was yesterday, and her skin was not torn. It was as if what happened yesterday was just a dream.
But the scar on her stomach reminded her that this was not a dream.
Xiaoruan, who was standing nearby, looked at her mother with a gloomy face and didn't dare to speak for a moment.
The room was so quiet that no sound could be heard, as if it had fallen into a dead end.
“Hehehe…”
When Xiaoruan heard Bairuanruan's laughter, her body trembled slightly. The master-servant contract she signed with Bairuanruan meant that if Bairuanruan was unhappy, he could do whatever he wanted with her.
