Chapter 9 Even Ghosts Are Afraid of Me
On a sudden impulse, he dragged his broken spirit body and turned to escape.
However, due to his damaged spirit, his speed was no match for Ning Bao. Ning Bao drew his small wooden sword and directly knocked the sickly ghost back.
Although some villagers walking near the carriage saw Ningbao practicing swordplay, they didn't take it seriously, assuming the child was just playing around.
They never expected that this little kid was actually catching ghosts.
Ning Bao glared smugly at the sickly ghost that had been pierced through by the peach wood sword, then, ignoring the ghost's struggles, brought the spirit-binding bag hidden inside her clothes close to the peach wood sword.
As soon as the spirit-binding bag approached the peach wood sword, it seemed to have a suction force, pulling the sickly ghost into it.
Ning Bao carefully put away the small wooden sword, held the spirit-binding bag, which had transformed into an inconspicuous little gourd, in her hand and shook it, silently saying to herself,
"When Ning Bao makes a move, even the ghosts of the world tremble!"
Previously, Ningbao didn't dare to talk to the sickly ghost outside because her senior brothers had said that people down the mountain were afraid of ghosts.
She cannot easily communicate with spirits in front of people she doesn't trust, otherwise others will think she is possessed.
Her senior brother had once told her that people who were possessed by evil spirits would be tied to trees and burned to death, and she didn't want to be burned to death.
So before the sickly ghost was put into the spirit-binding bag, Ning Bao ignored him completely.
Now that the sickly ghost is inside the spirit-binding bag, Ningbao can communicate with him directly using her thoughts.
This sickly person originally came from a good family. Although he was sick, he had been carefully cared for by doctors and his condition was relatively stable.
Unexpectedly, they encountered a severe drought. In order to survive, the whole family fled the famine. They were robbed by refugees as soon as they left the city. He could have been living a good life as a young master in the mansion.
Unexpectedly, he encountered famine and then displaced people. He was sickly and died of his illness.
He was reluctant to leave the mortal realm, but as a ghost, he needed to frequently seek out people with weak constitutions to absorb their life force if he wanted to wander around the mortal realm.
He had done this kind of thing quite a few days ago; those who had been exposed to his drugs lost their vitality and died soon after.
The person he chose today looked weak, with an old and a young family. He thought he could have a good meal today, but he didn't expect to run into this little girl as soon as he made his move.
The sickly ghost never expected that this chubby girl in front of him could not only see him, but also possessed such a high-level talisman.
He died of illness and happened to be caught in a famine. The ghost messengers who came to collect his soul couldn't distinguish one from another and just randomly grabbed a bunch of them before leaving.
He felt he had died unjustly and was unwilling to be reincarnated in the underworld, so he continued to wander in the mortal realm.
Despite the sickly ghost howling and wailing inside the spirit-binding bag, Ning Bao shook him for a while, but Ning Bao didn't pay any attention to him.
She was now in a hurry to check on Mu Dasheng's condition. She had previously used magic to check and found that Mu Dasheng's lifespan had not yet ended.
However, he had just had much of his life force drained by the sickly ghost, which had a significant impact on Mu Dasheng.
Mu Chengye, who had initially thought his grandfather was asleep, saw Ning Bao bustling around in a daze for a long time. Although he didn't know what his new sister was doing, he sensed that something had happened to his grandfather.
When Mu Chengye saw Ningbao squatting down next to his grandfather and taking his wrist to check his pulse, he immediately looked at Ningbao anxiously.
"Little sister, has something happened to Grandpa?"
Do you need help?
Should we tell Mom, Dad, and Grandma?
Ning Bao gave Mu Chengye a reassuring look.
"Don't worry, Fourth Brother, Grandpa is fine, he'll be alright soon. Don't tell Father and the others yet, it wouldn't be good if everyone's on their way and it disrupts the whole village's progress."
Actually, Ningbao wasn't really worried about delaying the process. In her heart, family was the most important thing, and she was very satisfied with the family she had just recognized.
Therefore, in her heart, Mu Dasheng's health was the most important thing. As for the progress of the whole village, what did it have to do with her?
If it weren't for her master and fellow disciples constantly reminding her that everyone in the Taoist temple was one of their own, she could freely display some of her skills without any problem.
But if one day she comes down from the mountain, she must remember to keep her talents hidden.
