Chapter 159 The Ghost Appears
Teng Su pulled Teng Zhizhi and Yun Yao apart, one on each side, and protected them behind him.
Seeing this, the remaining boy who had not spoken immediately ran behind Qin Qinsen and stayed away from his companions.
"What are you talking about, handsome? I don't understand." The boy touched his nose, his face full of confusion. "Hey - why are you running?"
Yun Yao noticed something was wrong and immediately said, "He was the one who pushed me into the seat, and he was the one who stuffed the pen in my hand!"
"Yes, the pen came out of his pencil case!"
Teng Zhizhi's face was a little pale. The Teng family had few relatives, but they had close relationships. Therefore, she had some understanding of her cousin's deeds. Although she had never met her, she was still family, so naturally she trusted her more than an ordinary classmate.
"Where did this hanged ghost come from? Why is he pestering a living person? Does he think there is no one in Xuanmen?"
The boy felt the rope tighten around his neck, making it hard to breathe. He fumbled around his neck with his hands, but felt nothing. Seeing the boy's face turn purple, Qin Qinsen grabbed the letter on the table and threw it away.
The letters died halfway, as if an invisible transparent hand tore them all apart, and also raised the scraps of paper, which fell like snowflakes.
"Hehehe, kid, who told you to ruin Master Yi's good deeds? This is just the beginning."
A green-faced, fang-toothed ghost rode on the boy's shoulders. Judging from his arrogant appearance, he was obviously not a hanged ghost. At this moment, he was holding the two ends of the hemp rope in each hand, grinning at Qin Qinsen, and constantly pulling the rope tightly with both hands.
Under his actions, the boy's strength to struggle became weaker and weaker. His eyeballs rolled up, and the white of his eyes gradually took over the upper part of his eye sockets. It was obvious that he was about to die.
Teng Zhizhi and the others got along well and had a good relationship in the class, but when they saw him like this, they immediately became anxious.
"Cousin, please think of a solution quickly!"
Qin Qinsen, who was about to take action, staggered when he heard the girl's name, and the seals prepared in his hands were dispersed by three points.
"Stop yelling." Teng Su knocked his little cousin on the head to stop her from saying the next words.
The ghost on his shoulder was still laughing fiercely. Teng Zhizhi stared at the boy's bloodshot face, feeling anxious but unable to help. She wanted to speak but was stopped by Teng Su. Looking at the others around her, even Yun Yao was calm and composed.
Except for another male classmate.
He aimed at the decorative vase on the side table and was about to lift it when he heard a heavy gasp.
'Hiss—something's possible.'
Qin Qinsen swung the red rope towards the evil ghost's face at an incredible speed. By the time the evil ghost reacted, he had already loosened the rope with his hands and instead covered the wound on his face.
"Thanks for the compliment."
After saying that, several more talismans flew up, blocking the evil ghost's way.
"With such a small trick, you dare to be an enemy of Master Yi." He let go, and the scars on the ghost's face disappeared, even becoming more terrifying. It seemed as if he had deliberately left the wounds created by the red rope to make his face look even more terrifying.
"Gu ghost."
The other party's action reminded Qin Qinsen, and his face darkened a little. "You ate the hanged ghost, and you also provoked the pen fairy by deceiving this kid. These love letters... were all sent by your minions."
"You're so smart. No wonder Master Yi likes you so much."
"Who is Master Yi?"
'Hehe, guess what.'
The Gu Ghost deliberately faced Qin Qinsen's attacks, allowing the papers and talismans to leave scars on his body. He even wrapped the papers with evil spirits, sticking them upright on his body, and then dyed them blue-black.
This behavior seemed to bring immense pleasure to the Gu ghost. The smile on his face became more exaggerated and his expression became more confused.
"Master Yi is the greatest magician, far more so than a mere ninjutsu practitioner like you. Without Master Yi, we would all be gone. Only under Master Yi's guidance can we..."
Qin Qinsen interrupted his crazy words, "Nerve."
As his ten fingers flew, the red rope pierced the ghost like a steel needle, but the ghost cleverly dodged it.
"Disrespectful!" The Gugui just made an attacking stance, but stopped before taking any action. "Yes, Grim Wolf will go right away."
Qin Qinsen cast more talismans, but was unable to stop the poisonous ghost who called himself the ferocious wolf.
"So what if it's a talisman array? You don't think you can stop me, do you?" The wolf shook itself, and the papers with sentimental messages stuck to its body fell off, and its battered body returned to normal.
Unlike the silent arrival, the wolf raised his hands high and rolled up the love letters on the ground. The whirlwind tore the papers into pieces. "Master Qin, cherish the days ahead."
Just when everyone thought he was going to escape, Qin Qinsen shouted sternly, "...I hereby call upon the Five Thunders of the Five Directions to slay the demons and subdue the spirits. Hurry and obey the command!"
The people who had already hidden at the stairs only saw a flash of white light before their eyes, followed by a scream and the smell of burning accompanied by gray smoke.
When the smoke cleared, there was no ghost left in the living room. Even the scraps of paper were turned into slag by the electric shock. The beautifully decorated living room was now a mess.
Qin Qinsen stood there in a daze, his hands still in the posture of casting a thunder spell, his face pale, with a hint of crimson seeping from the corners of his mouth.
"Are you okay?" Teng Su hurried forward to check on him.
"Ahem."
"Ah!" Teng Zhizhi screamed, "Why is my cousin's wife vomiting blood?!"
"Cough, cough, cough, it's okay."
Qin Qinsen moved his fingers with difficulty and motioned Teng Su to pick up the things on the ground. "Use the talisman paper."
Through the yellow talisman, Teng Su bent down and picked up the pitch-black stone.
"Is this the Gu ghost?"
A ghost that becomes whatever it eats?
"Yeah." Qin Qinsen cleared his throat and gratefully took the water Uncle Zhang handed him. After rinsing his mouth, he said, "He must have eaten the brains of the cultists and turned into a psychopath."
"Get up, stop playing dead."
The boy, who had been lying on the ground with his eyes closed, suddenly jumped up and said, "Thank you, Master, thank you, sister-in-law... Oh, thank you so much, otherwise I would have been in trouble!"
"Li Yiliang! Are you sick? Where did you get this dirty guy?" Teng Zhizhi was so angry.
"As a playful and inexperienced person, it's only natural that you'd get into trouble with dirty things." Qin Qinsen closed his eyes and calmed down until he felt less dizzy. Then he bent down and picked up the broken hemp rope on the ground. "It was indeed a hanged ghost that was following you. It just happened that you and Teng Zhizhi were close, so the Gu ghost targeted you, and that's why what happened next happened."
Li Yiliang was obviously relieved, and then he heard Qin Qinsen say, "But there is a limit to your suicidal behavior. Although the Gu ghost has possessed you and summoned the Pen Fairy, it also helped you eat the Hanged Ghost. Otherwise, you would be the one to die within seven days."
"A hemp rope is tied around the neck, and mourners are coming." Yun Yao added.
Looking at the girl whose knowledge had expanded considerably with appreciation, Qin Qinsen nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad."
"So next time you commit suicide, please notify your parents first so I can arrange for someone to collect your body."
