Chapter 6: Collecting Ghosts
The white-faced ghost was the first to move. He drew out the two swords on his body, turned into a cold wind, and slashed at Gong Mengbi with his two swords.
The black-faced ghost stretched out his fist, hit his chest, then opened his mouth and spat out turbid and smelly water, which rolled towards Gong Mengbi.
The yellow-faced ghost sank into the ground, waiting for an opportunity to strike.
But the next moment, the white-faced ghost stopped and slowly lowered his hands that had raised the sword.
The black-faced ghost closed his mouth, and the evil water dissipated like an illusion.
The half of the yellow-faced ghost's body that had escaped into the ground also emerged from the ground, motionless.
Ziying looked at Xu Banxian with a smile, tossing the master's knife in his hand up and down, and the copper rings collided with each other, making a jingling sound.
Gloomy evil thoughts spread in the secret room. The three ghosts slowly turned their heads and looked at Xu Banxian.
Xu Banxian's clothes were immediately soaked with cold sweat.
Xu Banxian's heart was beating like a drum. He shouted at the five ghosts in front of him, "Catch her now!"
There are not three ghosts, but five ghosts.
Master Dao summoned the Green-Faced Ghost and the Red-Faced Ghost from the Shanwang Temple, and they also appeared in the secret room.
The five ghosts said nothing, just stared at Xu Banxian silently. The evil thoughts and evil intentions of the ghosts from the underworld were exposed nakedly, and there was a bloody light in the eyes of the five evil ghosts.
Gong Mengbi never gave any order, nor did he need to give any order.
Xu Banxian gave the order again, but instead of obeying, the Five Ghosts stared at Xu Banxian with bloodshot eyes and slowly walked towards him.
Xu Banxian's eyes were filled with fear, and he said timidly, "I am the Ghost Lord, do you still want to rebel?"
But the Five Ghosts had already sensed his fear and saw his weakness.
The ghost forms of the five ghosts began to melt, indicating that Xu Banxian's Five Elements and Five Ghosts method was backfiring. After breaking away from the ghost forms, only the evil ghost bodies remained.
Xu Banxian hurriedly made hand seals, trying to mobilize the Five Ghosts Technique to subdue the evil spirit in front of him.
However, he was neither proficient in martial arts nor practiced cultivation, and he had always relied on the Five Ghosts Master's Sword to bully others.
After trying to pinch the seal three times without success, the Five Ghosts finally couldn't bear it any longer and aroused their evil nature. With a grin and twisted posture, they turned into a cold wind and rushed forward. They abandoned their magical powers and spells, and in the most primitive posture of evil ghosts, they gave Xu Banxian the most resentful and evil curse.
The five ghosts drilled into Xu Banxian's body, and the severe pain made him scream.
The evil ghosts' wild laughter echoed with Xu Banxian's screams. The five ghosts merged with his internal organs, expanding his chest and abdominal cavity and gnawing at his body from the inside out.
"ah--"
Xu Banxian let out a scream that Gong Mengbi had never heard before. It felt as if there were hands stretching out from between his chest and abdomen, bulging high and burning out black handprints.
"Save me!" Xu Banxian rolled on the ground, picking his nails until they were broken. He crawled in front of Ziying and begged, "Save me, save me!"
Gong Mengbi, who was clinging to Ziying, only looked at him with his green and cold eyes and asked, "What did you do when they asked for help?"
Xu Banxian couldn't answer, nor did he want to answer.
However, in an instant, this evil "half-immortal" completely lost his breath and died at the hands of the five ghosts he created.
The five ghosts pulled out his soul and tore at it, trying to tear him into pieces.
"Enough!" Gong Mengbi looked at the five ghosts in the air.
Having given up the appearance of ghosts and gods, they also gave up their minds. The five ghosts dominated by resentment turned their heads and let out a ferocious ghost howl towards Ziying.
Gong Mengbi's green eyes remained calm: "I'm not him. I'm not afraid of you little brats."
The five ghosts were enraged and rushed towards Gong Mengbi.
Gong Mengbi grabbed the master's sword, and the copper rings of the Five Ghosts jingled, firmly fixing the Five Ghosts in the air.
As soon as Xu Banxian died, the power of the Five Ghosts Master's sword dropped immediately. He was no longer able to control the five ghosts in front of him, and could only rely on the remaining Five Ghosts magic to barely hold the five ghosts in place for a moment.
But Gong Mengbi was not Xu Banxian. He stretched out his hand and a straw rope made of sedge flew out through the window. Like threading a needle, it strung the five ghosts together, connecting the ends and forming a straw ring with five stones tied to it.
Ziying sighed, "It's like revenge."
With a creak, the lobby window suddenly opened, and Gong Mengbi's true body appeared outside the window. He raised his umbrella and took away Xu Banxian's soul.
Gong Mengbi controlled Ziying and walked out of the hall. In the secret room, no movement or sound could be heard outside. Whatever was happening inside the hall was unknown to the outside world.
The old lady and Shen Shan had been waiting for a long time and hurried forward to ask.
Ziying said, "That demon Taoist priest raised a ghost and practiced magic, but was killed by the ghost. You don't need to make a fuss, just throw his body into the mass grave. And don't worry about the two young masters, they will be back before curfew."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ziying fell forward.
Chen Shan quickly supported her, and seeing that she had fallen asleep, he realized that the fox fairy had left.
When he opened the door again, he saw only broken tiles and bricks, mud and yellow earth that had been knocked over by Xu Banxian.
The demon fell backwards to the ground, his body covered with bite marks and claw marks left by the erosion of ghost energy.
Chen Shan didn't dare let the old lady see such a scene, so he quickly closed the door and found two brave servants to wrap up the body and send it to the mass grave before night fell.
At this time of year, human life is as cheap as grass. Mass graves are filled with homeless souls and corpse-eating beasts.
On the other side, Sanwang Temple.
After the evil Taoist priest was killed, Gong Mengbi drove the straw man placed in front of the Shanwang Temple to move, transforming into Gong Mengbi's appearance and pushing open the temple door.
When the wooden box left by Xu Banxian was opened, the talismans on the box naturally dispersed.
The two children in the wooden box were still sleeping, with anxiety and fear on their faces.
Gong Mengbi sighed: "You don't know how many disasters like this you will have to go through in the future."
Xu Banxian's half-baked face-reading skills were never accurate, but his fabricated words unintentionally made one thing clear - Shen Qiao and Shen Yan were destined to be noble.
Gong Mengbi was able to stay at the Shen family for many years, could it really be because he needed to stay in the Shen family's wasteland? It was because the Shen family had a strong destiny and Shen Qiao had a noble fate.
If he hadn't been there, with the Wishing Tree revealing it, Gong Mengbi wouldn't have known their fate. Just like a dormant dragon, before it even wakes, it becomes a small snake in the grass. Such a precious fate is impossible to discern.
