Chapter 425 Lu Yang: It’s my turn to take action
"There is a small village southeast of Hanshui City called Baishui Village. There is a couple in the village. The husband is called Liu San. One morning, Liu San woke up and found that he was not woken up by his wife as usual. He felt very strange."
"Liu San called out to his wife at home but to no avail, so he began to look for her and eventually found her drowned in a basin of water."
"The coroner found that his wife did not show any signs of struggle when she died, as if she had voluntarily drowned in the basin. He was very puzzled and reported it to higher authorities. After an investigation, the government concluded that it was the ghost of drowning who killed her."
"The so-called drowned ghosts are those who drowned in water and had resentment in their hearts. When they died, they happened to encounter a negative energy, and then they became ghosts and haunted the world."
"Drowned ghosts often live in rivers, lakes and seas. There happens to be a cold pond near Baishui Village. The water in the pond is too cold. Mortals will get sick if they drink it for a long time. The yin energy is extremely heavy, which is just right for drowned ghosts to live in."
"A senior brother in the late Jindan stage happened to pass by on his way back to the sect. After hearing about this, he went to the cold pond to investigate and asked the zombies to go into the water to capture the drowned ghost."
"But the drowned ghost is very powerful. He is at least half a step into the Nascent Soul stage, or even in the early stage of the Nascent Soul stage."
"There are too many ghosts in Hanshui City. The forces that the government and the sect can mobilize are stretched to the limit. There are no extra people to deal with the drowned ghosts."
"How about it, do you want to take this mission?"
Zhao Po received a task, gave a brief summary, and asked Lu Yang and the other two.
Meng Jingzhou felt that a drowned ghost was not challenging: "It doesn't sound difficult. Is there anything more challenging?"
"There is a female ghost who is getting married in a ghost marriage..."
"Just drown the ghost." Meng Jingzhou quickly interrupted Zhao Po.
Are you kidding? Given his current situation, either the female ghost dislikes him and won’t come out, or she dislikes him and wants to slap him to death.
"Okay, let's go." Zhao Po gave each of the three people a talisman before leaving.
"What kind of charm is this?"
"The talisman for dispersing spirits and dispersing souls was specially made by the sect. It was given to every disciple who went to solve the disaster of ghost plague. The sect found that ghosts were difficult to kill completely. Even if the evil ghosts were knocked down and weakened, it would be difficult to kill them without corresponding means. We worked with the talisman master and ghost catcher from the government to specially make this talisman overnight."
The disciples of the Corpse-Driving Sect are all corpse-drivers. They practice Yin-attributed skills, which are similar to the attributes of evil spirits. They can defeat evil spirits but find it difficult to kill them.
"Once we defeat the drowned ghost, we can activate this talisman to deal with it!"
"Your clan has been very thoughtful." Lu Yang smiled and put away the soul-dispelling talisman. In fact, it was not necessary for them.
With Meng Jingzhou, the ghost nemesis, even the evil spirits can be burned to death.
Whether it is Pure Yang True Fire or Three Flavors True Fire, they are both things that can restrain evil spirits.
Hantan is located diagonally opposite the Corpse Driving Sect, separated by an entire Hanshui City. The group left the Corpse Driving Sect and went straight through Hanshui City, passing by the Come Again BBQ restaurant which was still in its trial operation period.
Hanshui City is still prosperous, with people coming and going, and the disaster caused by evil spirits has not had much impact on the prosperity of the city.
Firstly, Hanshui City has many people and strong yang energy, so evil spirits dare not easily enter and cause trouble here.
Secondly, even if you go home, it may not be safe. A door cannot stop the evil spirits that want to cause trouble. On the contrary, it is safer to be outside where there are many people.
The four people and one corpse followed the location described in the mission, passed Baishui Village, and arrived at Hantan.
Standing by the pond, the four of them could feel the chill brought by the cold pond.
Hantan is surrounded by mountains on three sides and has no access to sunlight all year round. It is surrounded by lush vegetation, especially a few old locust trees, which are the most conspicuous.
Due to multiple factors, the water in the lake becomes cold.
The water in the pond was clear, but you couldn't see the bottom, and you couldn't find the location of the drowned ghost.
"How strange, why is there not a single fish?" Meng Jingzhou wondered. Logically speaking, there should be a lot of fish in such a place, so it wouldn't be surprising even if there was a big fish weighing a hundred or eighty kilograms.
But the reality is that there is not a single fish in the pond, not even a single fish fry.
"Eated by a ghost? Ghosts eat fish?"
Lu Yang pushed Meng Jingzhou, who kept asking questions, aside and squatted on the ground to observe the cold pond: "Don't worry about whether you want to eat fish or not. You can ask after you catch them. The question now is how to proceed. Who among us is proficient in water and can lure out the evil spirit?"
The four of them looked at each other. Lu Yang had the sword spiritual root, Meng Jingzhou had the single spiritual root, Man Gu was from the ancient barbarian tribe, and Zhao Po was a corpse driver. None of them were good at swimming.
"I'll do it. I'll ask the zombies to go down!"
Zhao Po lit three incense sticks and bowed three times to the zombie. The zombie absorbed the scent of the three incense sticks, and a hint of redness appeared on its pale skin, and its empty eyes became a little lively.
The zombies jumped into the cold pond, causing ripples on the calm water. It was obvious that the zombies had found the drowned ghost and were fighting with him.
The power of ghosts comes from the fear in the hearts of living beings and the fragility of their souls, neither of which has any effect on zombies.
Zhao Po broke out in a cold sweat and his teeth were chattering. He could sync with the zombies' feelings and sense how powerful the evil spirits they were facing were. The pressure was doubled.
"Brother Zhao?" Lu Yang asked with concern.
"The information is wrong. The drowned ghost below is not a half-step Nascent Soul or an early Nascent Soul, but a middle Nascent Soul!"
"The zombie also saw a female corpse down there. It must be the wife who drowned in Baishui Village!"
"The zombies are luring out the drowned ghosts, be prepared!" Zhao Po shouted.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang and the other two quickly assumed fighting stances, and the drowned ghost would be bombarded fiercely as soon as it appeared.
Please...collect 6...9...books...!
Bang--
The water surface exploded and a figure jumped out of the water.
"Three Flames of True Fire!"
"Pure Yang True Fire!"
"Domineering Barbarian King Fist!"
The three of them attacked at the same time and were about to hit the figure when Zhao Po hurriedly called for a stop.
"Stop, stop, stop. What came out was not a drowned ghost, but my zombie!"
The three of them quickly changed direction, their attack missed and hit the steep cliff, causing huge rocks to roll down with a loud noise.
Zhao Po's eyes twitched as he watched. This attack didn't look like the power of a Jindan Stage attack at all.
"Where is the drowned ghost?" Lu Yang wondered.
Zhao Po gave an awkward smile: "When I shouted to get ready just now, my voice was too loud. The drowned ghost heard it and ran back knowing there was an ambush."
"This is difficult. He definitely won't take the bait if he knows there's an ambush." Man Gu was in a dilemma and didn't know what to do.
"Why not use the storage ring to drain the water?" Meng Jingzhou suggested.
Zhao Po shook his head: "No, this cold pond has become the domain of drowned ghosts, and the storage ring cannot absorb things that have owners."
Lu Yang smiled confidently: "Leave this to me. It will be a good opportunity for you to see the unique skills I have practiced for many days!"
"What kind of unorthodox magic have you learned?" Meng Jingzhou asked curiously.
"This magical power is well-known, you will know it at a glance!" Lu Yang pretended to be profound, which made Meng Jingzhou even more curious and itched in his heart.
"Show me now."
Lu Yang paced by the pond, using his magic power to create wind under his robe, making it flutter, giving him a feeling of becoming an immortal.
"Listen, evil spirits below. I'm giving you one chance. If you don't come out, don't blame me for using some tricks!"
The water in the pond is calm.
Lu Yang had long guessed that the drowned ghost would not respond, so he turned over his palm, pressed it on the water surface, and then suddenly lifted it upward. The water in the pool formed a water tornado and entered his palm, revealing the drowned ghost living at the bottom of the pool.
Lu Yang turned around and waved his sleeves lightly, very casually: "I guessed it, this is the palm that I practiced for many days..."
Zhao Po was stunned when he saw this scene, and was speechless for a long time: "This, this is the legendary hidden world in the sleeve!"
With a flick of his sleeve, he sucked the water into his sleeve and it disappeared. What else could this be but the world in my sleeve? "...Yes, this is the world in my sleeve!"
The second update is at half past ten
