Chapter 122 Burning the Corpse



Thanks to [xuning] for the chicken drumstick ^_^

Bang!

In the darkness, a burst of gunfire rang out, and Ge Pulan's body instantly collapsed to the ground. At the same moment, the female ghost's arm, gripping my neck, suddenly loosened and quickly moved to cover my back. I took this opportunity to escape, and when I ran to the body, I saw Ning Xue slowly approaching, a black soul-stealing spear tightly grasped in her hand.

"Are you okay?" Ning Xue looked at me, without any emotion on her pretty face.

I nodded and said it was okay, but I felt that Ning Xue was a little strange now, but I couldn't tell what was strange.

The corpse was struck by the Soul-Taking Spear. Ning Xue's Soul-Taking Spear was specifically designed to deal with ghosts. Even though its power was average, it could still be surprisingly effective if the target wasn't aware of it. The corpse was undoubtedly knocked to the ground, and the ghost of Ge Pulan, caught in the act, also suffered a slight wound on his back.

After a while, Ge Pulan turned around, his pupils emitting a terrifying green light scanned the two of us, and said, "Do you think you can escape from here today? I will make sure you are all buried with me!"

As soon as I finished speaking, Ge Pulan rushed up, closing in on me in the blink of an eye, his sharp claws reaching straight for Ning Xue. I was startled and was about to do something when Ning Xue decisively fired a shot at the body lying on the ground...

Ge Pulan, who had just approached us, suddenly lost her balance and slammed into a nearby wall. With a resounding thud, her entire body sank into the cracks in the wall. If she weren't a ghost, she'd have been bruised and bleeding by now. Even so, her body was already covered in blood, riddled with holes from Ning Xue's Soul-Snatching Spear.

"Ghosts rely on corpses and other filth to stay in the world of the living. Damage to the corpse will also deal a heavy blow to the ghost..." I licked my lips and nodded slightly. It seems that Ning Xue already knows how to deal with Ge Pulan.

But we don't have time to waste here any longer, so I said to Ning Xue, "Burn her body, and that will be the end of Ge Pulan."

Ning Xue nodded and said, "Well, I only have three bullets left. I'll cover you while you burn her body."

I said okay, took out a stack of yellow paper, and with a puff, the Samadhi Fire instantly burned; at this moment, Ge Pulan, whose ghost had rebounded uncontrollably and hit the wall after being shot by Ning Xue, now rushed up again silently.

Even though Ning Xue's reaction wasn't as fast as Ge Pu Lan's, her hand speed was superb. Just as Ge Pu Lan rushed over again, Ning Xue decisively shot at the corpse on the ground. As expected, Ge Pu Lan was once again sent flying.

As long as her body was under Ning Xue's control, Ge Pulan would have no chance of fighting back. Of course, Ning Xue's Soul-Taking Spear needed to have enough exorcism bullets. Just now, Ning Xue told me she only had three bullets left, and now she had fired another shot, leaving only two.

I want to burn Ge Pulan's body before her bullets run out!

Boom! Ge Pulan was sent flying into the wall. Without hesitation, I shoved the stack of yellow paper burning with Samadhi Fire into Ge Pulan's body. With a crackling sound, the fire talisman burst into flames as soon as it touched the corpse's surface. The Republican-era clothing on the corpse instantly burned away, but perhaps the skin had been damaged by the glutinous rice and blood wine, leaving only the bare bones. The Samadhi Fire Talisman didn't burn them all instantly.

During this gap, Ge Pulan, with a black aura all over her body, bared her teeth, and a ferocious face, rushed towards us frantically. It seemed that the boundless and intense fear she felt after seeing her body cremated by us had caused her to come to kill us in such a frenzy.

But will it be as she wishes?

Ning Xue decisively fired another shot, hitting the white bones surrounded by flames, and Ge Pulan was once again ruthlessly knocked away.

In a moment, Ge Pu Lan's body was burned to ashes by my Samadhi Fire. Looking at the evil ghost Ge Pu Lan again, her black hands were tightly grasping the wall, and her body was constantly twisting and struggling, as if in great pain, until she let out a pig-slaughtering roar, howled like a ghost, and then turned into a black gas and disappeared.

Ge Pulan, eliminated?

Ning Xue and I both breathed a sigh of relief, thinking the matter was over. However, to my surprise, Su Xiaoniu suddenly said, "Don't be too happy too soon. Ge Pulan hasn't been eliminated yet, just his body has been destroyed and he has suffered serious injuries. He should be recuperating somewhere by now."

I was stunned. After the body is burned, even if the ghost is not completely disintegrated, it will definitely not be able to appear in the world of the living again. After a few days, it will be taken away by the ghost messenger to be reincarnated, right? But what does Su Xiaoniu mean by this?

As if she understood my confusion, Su Xiaoniu explained, "Common sense suggests that what you're thinking is correct. However, I've told you before about the many factors that can cause ghosts to haunt the living world. The most important one is that the ghost's body is still in the living world, or that there are people from the living world helping them. Also, if there are any items or filth left in the living world from her life, that's also a reason for her ghost to haunt the living world."

As I followed Ning Xue back to the pond, I frowned and thought. It was certain that Ge Pu Lan's body had been burned; if Ge Pu Lan was not destroyed, but was only seriously injured and was able to appear in the world of the living, then there were two possibilities.

The first is that someone is helping her, and the second is that some of the things that Ge Pulan used during his lifetime have not been burned in the world of the living.
