It’s not like Shen Qiqi hasn’t commanded ghosts and monsters before, but that was in her previous life.
Since her rebirth, Shen Qiqi has only used her ghost power a few times: only twice.
The first time was when Shen Qiqi had just been reborn. At the Ten Thousand Demons Cliff, Xie Beiming was hanging in the air above the cliff, and she couldn't pull him up by herself, so she cast an evil talisman on Xie Beiming.
At that time, she used Xie Beiming as bait to awaken the ghosts at the bottom of the cliff. Then, with the impact of the ghosts surging upwards, she exerted force from above. With the simultaneous action of the two forces, she finally pulled Xie Beiming up.
The other time was also at Wanmo Cliff, but at the bottom of the cliff.
That time, when she went to the bottom of the Wanmo Cliff to "borrow" the Red Spirit Pearl from the vine monster, she suddenly saw the dagger that Xie Beiming had dropped at the bottom of the cliff. In order to snatch Xie Beiming's dagger back from the angry vine monster, she borrowed the power of the ghost at the bottom of the cliff.
Just these two times, there won't be a third time.
As for the fact that she used talismans in Pingxi Village and Furong Town, both times she did it to exorcise evil spirits, not for personal reasons.
But even if it was for the purpose of exorcising evil spirits, Shen Qiqi was very cautious, fearing that she would annoy Xie Beiming.
As a result, now Xie Beiming actually told her to borrow his ghost power... Shen Qiqi felt that either she was hallucinating, or Xie Beiming was talking nonsense because of a fever.
Then Xie Beiming told Shen Qiqi with a faint "hmm": You are not hallucinating.
That is, Xie Beiming had a fever and was talking nonsense.
Shen Qiqi bit her fingers, hesitating whether to test whether Xie Beiming's forehead was hot.
It turned out that Shen Qiqi's hand was braver than her brain. Just as she finished thinking this, her hand had already reached out.
But it didn't happen.
Xie Beiming held her outstretched hand, then took out a handkerchief and wiped the saliva from her fingers while saying, "Do you still remember the secret realm training when we first entered the sect?"
His movements were gentle, and his tone was gentle, like the spring breeze in March blowing on one's face, soft and warm, making one's heart soften like spring water. Shen Qiqi splashed in the spring water for a few times, but couldn't climb out. She said blankly, "Ah? You said the secret realm training? I remember."
During the test and training for entering the sect, there was no living person in the entire secret realm except for these disciples who participated in the training. No matter whether they were adults or children, they were all dead long ago.
Even the old yellow dog at the entrance of the village was dead.
Xie Beiming said: "I later asked my master, and he said that the secret realm was built by the Qiong Cang Immortal Venerable."
After he finished speaking, he glanced at Shen Qiqi.
Shen Qiqi nodded: "Ah yes, I know about this."
Any of the dozen or so elders of the Wuji Sect can build such a large secret realm. This is their strength as elders.
But being able to cram so many ghosts into the secret realm and make those ghosts obey orders obediently, I am afraid that in the entire Wuji Sect, only Wu Qiongcang can do it.
Therefore, Shen Qiqi was not surprised that Wu Qiongcang was the builder of the secret realm.
What she was curious about was: why did Xie Beiming suddenly bring up this matter?
Xie Beiming quickly satisfied her curiosity.
Then Master Xie said, "Your current master is the Immortal Venerable Qiong Cang, and you learned the magic of talismans from him. With such a good master, I believe your current cultivation of talismans will not be too bad."
Shen Qiqi: “…”
Shen Qiqi thought to herself that this was indeed the truth.
After all, before she learned skills from Wu Qiongcang, she had already made great achievements in the art of talismans.
After becoming Wu Qiongcang's apprentice, Wu Qiongcang passed on to her the jade slips that he had learned throughout his life.
This is like putting a pair of wings on the tiger's back.
But what did Xie Beiming mean by this? Was he praising her or testing her?
Shen Qiqi blinked her eyes. She was a little confused about Xie Beiming's intention, so she decided to keep silent and deal with all kinds of changes with the same attitude.
Seeing how calm she was, Xie Beiming's eyes flickered with relief—the kind of relief that comes from a child finally growing up and maturing.
But this time he didn't let that emotion show on his face. It was fleeting, so fast that no one could catch it.
Xie Beiming: "Since you have such a great skill, why don't you try to use it? Or do you prefer to travel at night in embroidered clothes?"
Shen Qiqi: “…”
Shen Qiqi quietly rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking that only fools like to wear brocade clothes at night. The reason why I suppress myself and try not to touch those things is because I am afraid that you don’t like it.
I don’t know who in Pingxi Village told her harshly that it would never happen again.
Moreover, Master Xie, who has always been very disgusted with evil power, actually encouraged her to use ghost power today, which was out of character... Could this guy be testing her?
Shen Qiqi bit her lip, staring at Xie Beiming with her big eyes without blinking, trying hard to find something from his incredibly beautiful face.
Xie Beiming did not avoid her gaze and let her look at him openly. There was even a slight upward curve on his light-colored thin lips.
He said, "You can think about it."
Then he lowered his head to drink his soup and stopped talking.
So Shen Qiqi began to think seriously about it, and gave the answer before Xie Beiming finished the half bowl of soup in his hand.
Under Xie Beiming's encouraging and guiding gaze, she carefully handed out her answer sheet.
"Master Xie, I think what you said makes a lot of sense. Since manpower is not enough, why can't we use ghost power?"
