Chapter 96: The Secret of the Ghost and the Late Light Kung Fu
"Huh?"
This is a bit strange.
Li Chu personally used his mind-eye technique to survey the area last night and was sure that there could be no other corpses or ghosts in the river channel within a mile above and below.
If it says there are people underwater, where are they?
If the lingering ghost means that her obsession has not yet disappeared, then we can speculate from the previous dream that she didn't want her body to be left outside.
This dream... is indeed a little hard to guess.
Li Chu felt that he should go and meet her.
So he stood up and said, "I'll go with you to take a look."
Zhou Dafu raised his head and looked up at Li Chu, and suddenly felt that although Li Chu was usually very handsome, he was particularly radiant at this moment.
It's nice to have a man who makes you feel safe...
Li Chu, dressed in green, carried a sword bag with the Chunyang Sword on his back and left Deyun Temple. Because he was going to the town this time, he did not let the fox girl accompany him.
Zhou Dafu took him and hurriedly came to the morgue across the street behind the government office.
Even the county yamen runners were reluctant to approach this place. This was because most of the bodies in the morgue had died badly, and each had a bad appearance. Seeing too much of it would make one feel uncomfortable.
The body of the woman resting here has a sense of being "one of a kind".
Except for the silk being a little wrinkled after being soaked in water, her hair was neat, her face was pretty, and her skin was fair...
If my whole body wasn't cold and hard, it would have been like I was asleep lying here.
But because it is preserved so well, it is extremely strange.
It can be said that it lacks the self-awareness that a corpse should have...
"Master Li, why don't you just help it to be reincarnated?" Zhou Dafu asked tentatively.
What he meant was to dispose of the body directly regardless of the meaning of the dream.
This is indeed the case for dealing with this kind of not-so-powerful ghost, because although the ghost exists apart from the corpse, it is still inextricably linked to the original body.
In fact, most exorcists would probably do the same thing if faced with this situation.
When the ghost is still in its infancy, it is very fragile.
Most of the time, cremation of the body can dissipate the spirit. The more sophisticated ones can at most invite a monk or Taoist priest to recite a few scriptures, perform a ritual, and then cremate the body after the spirit is liberated.
The corpse did not decay even after death and did not float in water, which showed that it was one of the more powerful ghosts.
But no matter how strong it is, it is still a ghost after all. If Li Chu cuts the corpse with the Pure Yang Sword, it will surely not be able to escape the disaster.
Doing so not only saves time and effort, but also prevents the ghosts from continuing to grow stronger.
It is indeed the most efficient and safest choice.
However, Li Chu didn't want to do that.
The main reason why the ghost lingers is that the obsession has not yet been eliminated.
This kind of obsession is most likely not something that goes against the principles of nature and human ethics, otherwise it would become a vengeful spirit.
If you can, it's best to help it get done.
Let it enter the cycle of reincarnation with peace of mind.
This is the best strategy.
and……
Li Chu always had a premonition.
It was as if this ghost was telling him something extremely important.
This premonition is very strong.
In this case, he cannot handle the matter rashly.
Let's take a step back...
What if we let this ghost grow?
If it is allowed to practice for a few more years, it can at most become a small ghost; if it practices for a few more decades, it may be able to be on par with the vengeful spirits; after a few hundred years, it may become a ghost general; if it is lucky and practices for another thousand or ten years, it may be promoted to a ghost king, and a weaker one at that.
That kind of weak ghost king...it's not like Li Chu hasn't encountered one before.
The outcome...I won’t mention it.
After a moment's silence, he said, "It's better to find out what it's obsessed with. Captain Zhou, have you not confirmed the identity of this woman yet?"
Zhou Dafu shook his head, "It is certain that he is not from Yuhang Town. Judging from his attire, he is not from a nearby village. Liuhua River connects to the prefecture in the west and flows into the sea in the east. There are many passenger ships coming and going. It would be difficult to find out the origin of a person who drowned quietly like this."
Li Chu immediately said: "Then I will stay here tonight and meet it in person."
Since we can’t find out what happened to her during her lifetime, we can only start with the ghost itself.
Chow Tai Fook was helpless and said nothing more.
Since Li Chu is willing to put in more effort, I have no choice but to let him do it.
…
It was still early at this time, and ghosts had no ability to appear in the world during the day, so Li Chu did not wait in the morgue.
There is one thing that should have been done long ago.
As early as when he fought with the demon king that day, Li Chu felt his lack of speed and wanted to find a way to make up for it.
But later on, there were too many things to do, so I kept delaying it, and only today did I have some free time.
His sword was already invincible, and now with the bonus of the Pure Yang Sword, Li Chu couldn't tell how powerful his attack was.
After practicing Iron Shirt, his defense reached a level that satisfied him.
In terms of the soul, it will improve with the level. What Li Chu is least afraid of is mental attacks.
After learning the Sunflower Finger Technique, I gained another effective control skill.
Attack, defense, spirit, control...
After careful consideration, Li Chu felt that what he lacked now were speed and response.
If these two gaps are filled, I can become a more qualified hexagonal warrior.
This kind of me...
You should be qualified to leave Yuhang Town.
Taking advantage of this gap, he walked across two streets and arrived at Za Shu Zhai with great anticipation.
In the end, what greeted him was not the old shopkeeper, but a group of enthusiastic girls...
Now the queues at Deyun Temple during the day are very long, and priority is given to those who come to the temple because of evil spirits. It is very difficult for the girls who go there to see Taoist Priest Xiao Li to get in line.
Li Chu has often not been in the temple recently. After waiting in line for a long time, you might see an old man or a silly girl.
After Za Shu Zhai was the first to hang up a sign that read "Master Xiao Li's favorite place", it quickly became another place for girls to gather.
I didn't expect that my dream would come true so suddenly today. I encountered a wild Li Chu...
"Master Xiao Li——"
“It’s alive!”
“……!”
Hearing this scream, Li Chu couldn't help but feel his scalp tingling...
bad.
After struggling for a while, his Taoist robe was torn into several holes, and he finally got away with the help of the old shopkeeper.
The old shopkeeper closed the shop door directly, and the father and son leaned against the door, panting for a long time.
He then turned around and said, "Master Xiao Li, I'm sorry. Since I started using your name, business has improved a lot. I just didn't expect that it would be inconvenient for you to come."
"It's okay." Li Chu waved his hand, "This kind of thing... you'll get used to it."
The old shopkeeper recovered his breath and asked with a smile, "What kind of book is Taoist Xiao Li looking for this time? Is it a martial arts secret book?"
"Yes." Li Chu nodded.
The old shopkeeper walked over and said with a smile: "I don't have many martial arts secret manuals in my shop, and you almost bought them all... Hehe, what type are you looking for this time?"
Li Chu said: "I want to find two methods, one to increase speed... and one to restore health and heal injuries, is that ok?"
"Hmm..." The old shopkeeper bent down, fiddled for a long time, and said, "Recovering blood and healing injuries... I don't think there are any. Most of these are advanced skills. After all, I'm just a small shop, how can I get that kind of stuff?"
In other words, all I have here are common goods...
Li Chu was slightly disappointed.
The old shopkeeper did not stand up and continued, "For speed... I do have a book on light-weight body techniques. I wonder if it suits your taste?"
After saying this, he held up a book that looked worn out as usual.
"oh?"
Li Chu's eyes lit up when he saw the title of the book.
