Chapter 218 People like you are not even worthy of being a ghost
"You, Sanqing Palace, have a good plan."
Huo Qinghuang sneered and said, "Let me deal with the Ghost King, and you guys just sit back and reap the benefits?"
Wu Chenzi waved his hands quickly: "Daoyou, you have misunderstood! We at Sanqing Palace have absolutely no such intention. If Daoyou is willing to help, we are willing to reward you with the Sanqing Palace's most precious treasure, the 'Tiangang Sword'."
The Tiangang Sword is a treasure passed down by the ancestors. It is so powerful that countless sects are jealous of it.
This person should be tempted, right?
"Tiangang Sword?"
Huo Qinghuang raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "The treasures of your Sanqing Palace are of no use to me."
Want to use the Tiangang Sword to ask her to take action?
Getting that thing would mean establishing a karmic relationship with the Three Pure Ones. She wasn't bored and had nothing better to do than to provoke that killer Tongtian.
Seeing that Huo Qinghuang was unmoved, Wu Chenzi gritted his teeth and said, "If you are not satisfied, we can provide other treasures, such as the 'Alchemy Gourd' or..."
Huo Qinghuang waved her hand and interrupted him: "Okay, stop talking to me about these useless things, I am not interested in your treasures.
However, if you are willing to agree to one condition, I can consider helping you deal with the Ghost King."
Wu Chenzi heard this, and a hint of joy flashed in his eyes: "Fellow Daoist, please tell us. As long as we can do it, we will do our best to satisfy you."
Huo Qinghuang smiled slightly, with a hint of joking in her tone: "My condition is very simple, from now on, you Sanqing Palace are not allowed to interfere in my affairs.
Whether I hunt evil spirits or devour souls, you are not allowed to interfere. How about it?"
When Wu Chenzi heard this, his expression suddenly turned a little ugly.
The Taoists behind him couldn't help but whisper.
"How can this be possible? If she devours souls wantonly and disrupts the order of yin and yang, how can we at Sanqing Palace just sit back and watch?"
"That's right, Senior Brother, you can't agree to this condition!"
Wu Chenzi raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, then looked at Huo Qinghuang and said in a deep voice: "Daoyou, this matter is of great importance, I am afraid I cannot reply immediately.
How about this, we go back and discuss it first, and then give you a reply, fellow Taoist? "
Huo Qinghuang shook her head and said indifferently: "It's up to you. But I have to remind you that the emergence of the Ghost King is no small matter. If it takes too long, I'm afraid your Sanqing Palace may not be able to handle it."
Wu Chenzi nodded and said, "Thank you for your reminder. We will go back and discuss it and give you a reply as soon as possible."
After saying this, he turned around and left with several Taoists, his steps hurried, obviously anxious.
Huo Qinghuang looked at their departing backs, with a sneer on her lips: "Sanqing Palace... Haha, you have a good plan. But it's not that easy for me to be your thug."
She turned around and glanced at the evil spirit behind her, then suddenly pointed her finger on the evil spirit's forehead.
It's just a shabby house, is this guy going crazy?
She wanted to see what was going on.
The next moment, a series of images suddenly appeared in her mind.
Forty years ago, a family of four lived in this ancestral mud house: a young couple, a young child, and an elderly mother.
In this couple, the woman is particularly capable and is very popular in the village.
The man was a good person at the beginning. He could make money and didn't mess around outside.
Their children are very cute, the old people are kind, and their family's life is getting better and better.
Everyone in the village envied this family of four.
Until one day, the man's childhood friend who was said to have made a lot of money outside came back to the village, and the two naturally had a good meal together when they met.
The man’s childhood friend wore a big gold chain and looked like a typical nouveau riche. What the man didn’t know was that although his childhood friend looked glamorous, he actually made a lot of money by cheating and deceiving people.
The childhood friend stayed in the village and refused to leave. The two met often. The childhood friend spent money lavishly, and the man was very envious when he saw her.
One day, the childhood friend asked the man to see the world, and the man readily agreed despite his wife's dissuasion.
Then, he embarked on a path of no return, following his childhood friends in eating, drinking, whoring and gambling.
Gradually, the man changed. He lost all the family money in gambling. After losing the money, he became an alcoholic. His temper became bad and he would beat his wife and children at any time.
The wife was desperate, but she couldn't bear to leave for the sake of the child. The man also refused to agree to a divorce and even threatened her that if she dared to run away, he would chop the child into pieces and feed it to the dogs.
The wife was very scared and could only accept it, trying her best to protect her son, hoping that he would be beaten less.
As a result, she had new wounds on top of old ones, and there was not a single piece of healthy flesh on her body.
Seeing that his wife was beaten into submission, the man became more and more proud. He even ignored his own mother's scolding. Once, he accidentally pushed his mother to the ground and killed her.
I thought the man would repent, but unexpectedly, he seemed to have broken through the shackles in his heart and became even worse.
Until one day, the wife could no longer bear it and strangled the man to death while he was sleeping.
Then the wife handed the child to her parents' home and turned herself in.
Because the man was such a jerk, no one in the village came to collect his body after he died.
The man's body was not buried until it began to stink and become infested with maggots.
After the man died, he turned into a ghost and waited for his wife to come back so that he could take revenge.
He didn't know that his wife had already turned herself in, and he thought she had fled for fear of punishment and was living a good life. He became more and more resentful, and began to harm people who passed by the earthen house.
As time went by, the adobe house became more and more deserted, and on ordinary days not even a single person could be seen here.
The man waited for 40 years, but he didn't know that his wife was treated leniently because she surrendered herself in time and her case was extenuating. She was released from prison after only five years. Afterwards, his wife took the children from her parents' home and left home, never to return.
Huo Qinghuang continued to calculate based on his wife's fate and found that she already had many children and grandchildren, and was now wealthy and powerful.
Huo Qinghuang looked at the images flashing through her mind like a kaleidoscope, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
She looked at the evil spirit in front of her, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, with a hint of sarcasm in her tone: "Waiting for forty years, just to take revenge on a woman who has already left and has many children and grandchildren? How ridiculous."
The evil ghost seemed to sense Huo Qinghuang's ridicule and let out a low roar. Its whole body shook violently, trying to break free from its restraints.
However, Huo Qinghuang just waved his hand lightly, a golden light flashed, and the evil ghost was suppressed instantly, unable to move anymore.
"People like you are useless when alive and useless when dead."
Huo Qinghuang said coldly, "Do you think you can take revenge by turning into a ghost? Unfortunately, you can't even touch the shadow of your enemy."
The evil ghost let out a shrill howl, as if it wanted to struggle, but under Huo Qinghuang's suppression, it couldn't move at all.
Huo Qinghuang shook her head, with a hint of disdain in her tone: "People like you are not even worthy of being a ghost."
She paused, and suddenly said leisurely: "Do you want to know the whereabouts of your wife?"
