Chapter 5
After getting rid of the half-headed ghost, I continued running towards the top of the mountain.
There were no ghosts or monsters blocking my way. Just when I was wondering, a man suddenly appeared in front of me. He just stood there quietly, without saying a word or making any movements, but I felt like I was facing a great enemy.
We faced each other for a long time, and then he said, "Are you Gui Ming's daughter?"
"Who are you?"
"I am the guardian of the forbidden area. If you want to see them, you must pass me." He said.
"In that case, I won't be polite." I subconsciously drew a five-thunder talisman and hit him.
Because when I faced the half-headed ghost before, my use of ghost spirit had no effect, so now I simply ignored the ghost clan's methods.
He was very surprised to see me use the ghost spirit to draw talismans for the first time, but the Five Thunder Talisman did not cause any damage to him. He summoned the Fire Bell and burned the talisman, and the Five Thunder Talisman was burned in mid-air. I did not lose heart, knowing that it would not be so easy to defeat him.
So I drew another evil-killing talisman for him. This evil-killing talisman is specifically used to kill evil demons and heretics. Even humans with bad intentions will be harmed by it. I used this characteristic to attack and kill.
"Why do the descendants of the ghost clan use Taoist methods?" He seemed a little angry, and a large flame sprayed towards me.
When I heard what he said, I immediately summoned the Fire Bell and started fighting him.
Among the younger generation, I consider myself to be the best. Even Uncle Guiqing and the other two cannot beat me when they join forces, so I am not afraid of the person in front of me.
But his black ghost spirit is very pure. Even though I have gone through three tribulations, I am still not as powerful as him.
"You have already experienced three disasters? Can you return to your roots?" At this time, he withdrew his strength and his expression became gentle.
"I was added to the family tree by the high priest yesterday," I said truthfully.
"Good, my ghost clan has successors."
After saying that, he shot a golden-feathered arrow straight at me.
A golden-feathered flying arrow immediately appeared in my hand and flew towards the arrows hurtling towards me. The two golden arrows emitted huge sparks in the air. He saw this and said, "After so many years of relying on yourself, it's truly rare to reach this level of cultivation. Today, let me test you!"
He then produced a golden arrow from his hand and immediately shot it at me.
He used the same trick again, but I didn't take it seriously. I also conjured up golden arrows and fought against him.
But after my arrow collided with his golden arrow, its speed didn't slow at all, while my arrow had already vanished. I immediately fired another arrow, but still couldn't stop the golden arrow's advance. It came to rest just before my neck, and at that moment, I felt death. The aura of destruction emanating from the arrow made me dare not even breathe.
He swung his hand casually, and the arrow shot towards the tree next to him, breaking the whole tree in half.
I don't understand why the gap between him and me was not that big in the first shot, but why the gap was so huge in the second arrow.
"Why?" I asked.
"We shouldn't be so rigidly dogmatic about everything. The Yin Fu Lu only records how to cultivate the Golden Feather Flying Arrow, but it doesn't mention how to use it. I've seen that you can fuse ghost spirits with Taoist talismans, so why haven't you considered fusing talisman techniques with the techniques of my ghost clan?"
I pondered his words.
My talisman-drawing skills are indeed inspired by Taoism, but ultimately, having seen Master Zhang draw talismans directly in mid-air using his vital energy, I can only consider this as imitation. His words, however, opened a new door for me. Speaking of magic, the Yin Fu Lu is undoubtedly more accessible. Why couldn't I incorporate talisman techniques into my Fire Bell Technique, Golden Feather Flying Arrow, or even the Thunder Fire Bead? Wouldn't that elevate their power to a new level?
Previously, I had used the Thunderfire Pearl in conjunction with the Nine Palaces God-Slaying Spell to eliminate the Corpse Immortal Huang Chao. It seemed like that was a flash of inspiration at the critical moment, and I didn't even bother to carefully consider how to integrate the two methods afterwards. Even my Fire Bell Talisman, while clearly effective, hadn't considered trying other spells.
I suddenly understood and immediately drew a Five Thunder Talisman. Then, a golden arrow condensed in my hand, I attached the Five Thunder Talisman to the golden-feathered flying arrow and shot it at him.
Seeing that I had gained some insight, he immediately shot out a golden arrow. As we engaged each other, my golden arrow, laced with lightning, held its own against him!
"Not bad!" he said with relief.
"Senior, please try mine again!" Inspired by him, I immediately condensed a thunder and fire bead. On this thunder and fire bead, I drew a罡风 talisman. The two were fused together. With the three attributes of thunder, fire and罡风, the power increased exponentially.
I threw it directly at him.
He was horrified and quickly threw out a lightning and fire bead. The two beads collided, forming a destructive field of thunder, fire, and strong winds between us. Even from a distance, I could feel the immense destructive power of the field!
When the destruction field disappeared, a huge black pit appeared on the ground. I didn’t expect the power to be so strong.
"Okay, okay, I won't fight anymore. Just come with me," he said.
I looked at him curiously. I knew he was trying to give me some advice, but I didn't expect it to end with just an ordinary test. Could it be that he was deliberately letting me go?
I followed him, and he looked at me and said, "If you practice diligently in the future, you might be able to bring about changes in the Xuan Sect."
"Change?" I asked puzzled.
"That's right. Although the current Xuanmen sect possesses abilities that are beyond the reach of ordinary people, it's time for change. The abilities of each sect have basically reached their limit. Moreover, many Xuanmen members have recently committed crimes in ordinary society. Some ancient sects have long been corrupted."
So that's how it is. It seems the Xuanzhen Bureau was established for a reason.
"You also possess the Taoist talisman technique. If you can master it, you will surely bring our ghost clan to a higher level in the future. We are already old and don't have much time left to live." He said as if sighing.
I didn't take what he said to heart, because I still had some resentment towards the ghost clan. After all, they imprisoned my family for so long and made me wander for more than twenty years. No one can understand the pain I went through.
He led me to the top of the mountain, and my heart began to beat uncontrollably.
"Go ahead, your family is there." He pointed to the yard.
Since I climbed the mountain from the back of the cliff, the yard was facing away from me.
I walked towards the yard nervously. Before I got close, I heard an old man's voice. He said, "In ten years, we can leave here."
The voice was so familiar that it suddenly reminded me of that summer when I felt it was too hot and my grandfather fanned me with a palm-leaf fan all night long.
I quickened my pace, walked around the wall and went straight to the gate.
What caught my eye was my grandfather and my mother, whom I missed very much but whose appearance had become blurry. My grandfather was sitting in the yard and my mother was tending to the vegetable garden in the yard.
