Because of the ghost stories, most students, especially the girls, are returning to their dormitories earlier than usual these days. As a result, around 11 p.m., the main roads leading to the dormitories are almost deserted.
The main road of the desolate campus was swept by a howling wind and utterly silent.
A crisp bell rang out from downstairs in dormitory building number 17.
At this moment, an octagonal table is set up in front of the No. 17 girls' dormitory building.
On the octagonal table were offerings, including an incense burner, candles, and a large basin of black dog blood.
Three lit incense sticks were inserted into the incense burner, and a pair of candles beside the burner flickered in the wind.
A plump Taoist priest in a yellow robe stood in front of the Eight Immortals table, holding a copper bell in one hand and a peach wood sword in the other.
"Evil spirits are most afraid of black dog blood. I'll perform a ritual in a bit. If an evil spirit really appears, remember to pour this basin of black dog blood on it!"
Master Jia said.
The young apprentice sat on a roadside stone, scrolling through his phone, yawning incessantly, looking rather listless.
"knew!"
"Hurry up and get started, I need to go back to sleep early, I'm so sleepy."
"That's what the sleazy little apprentice said."
Master Jia glanced around and, seeing that everything was ready, began chanting incantations and making hand gestures.
@#￥%……&
After a series of obscure and incomprehensible incantations.
Dark clouds began to obscure the moon in the night sky, and a gust of cold wind swept around the eight-immortal table, extinguishing the candles on it.
Master Jia's heart skipped a beat. He quickly made a hand seal and chanted a Taoist incantation to exorcise ghosts. Then, he pointed his peach wood sword at the candle, and with a loud bang, the extinguished candle was relit.
The candlelight flickered in the dark night wind, threatening to go out at any moment.
"Evil spirit, show yourself at once, or I, this Taoist priest, will subdue you tonight!"
Master Jia spoke towards the direction of the yin wind, vaguely sensing something around him. The icy chill penetrated his pores, giving him a bad premonition.
As soon as Master Jia finished speaking, a long-haired female ghost with disheveled hair suddenly appeared from behind him and attacked him.
"Damn, there really are evil spirits!"
Master Jia cursed under his breath, quickly took out a yellow paper talisman he had prepared beforehand, lit it, and turned to throw it at the ghostly figure of the woman.
The paper talismans exploded in the air.
The evil spirit's phantom flashed and dodged away, unharmed by the paper talisman.
"You stinky Taoist priest!"
"They've been chattering away here all night, it's so noisy!"
The evil spirit appeared in the night sky with a pale, ghostly face, and pounced on Master Jia once again.
Master Jia thrust his peach wood sword at the evil spirit, infusing it with a faint magical power. The sword emitted a dim light in the darkness, appearing quite divine.
The evil spirit conjured a pale white claw out of thin air. The claw was not afraid of the peach wood sword in the Taoist priest's hand at all, and it directly grabbed the three-foot peach wood sword.
A human and a ghost were locked in a stalemate in a magical battle in the air.
"You wretched child, daring to cause trouble at school, I, the Daoist priest, will deal with you!"
Master Jia cursed at the evil spirit, but cold sweat was already pouring down his forehead.
"You stinking Taoist priest, stop spouting nonsense! We don't even know who will take whom in!"
The long-haired female ghost's claws gripped the peach wood sword firmly, and a crack appeared on the hard blade.
The strength of this vengeful ghost was beyond Master Jia's expectations. He originally thought it might just be an ordinary evil spirit causing trouble, which he could drive away with a little magic. But he did not expect the female ghost to be so powerful that even his early Foundation Establishment stage cultivation was slightly inferior to her!
Master Jia was now inwardly groaning. If he had known this evil spirit was so powerful, he wouldn't have taken the job!
"You brat, hurry up and help! Quickly splash the black dog blood on the evil spirit!"
Master Jia shouted to his long-haired young disciple, who was quite frightened.
His arm was trembling, and the cracks on the peach wood sword were widening, as if it could break at any moment.
The young apprentice, who was sitting on the rock, woke up from his fright after being called out by Master Jia, and cursed, "Damn, there really is a ghost!"
In the critical moment, the young apprentice mustered his courage, closed his eyes, and fiercely splashed the basin of black dog blood at the long-haired vengeful ghost in the air, which only had half a body.
Sensing the black dog blood behind him, the vengeful ghost decisively released Master Jia and flew to the side to dodge, but was still splashed with some of the black dog blood.
"Sizzle, sizzle!"
The part of the phantom that was splattered with black dog blood emitted a wisp of green smoke!
The vengeful ghost let out a scream, then turned around and glared at its young apprentice with eyes blazing with fire, before swiftly lunging at him.
The vengeful ghost in front of him flew away, and Master Jia felt relieved. But then, a smear of sticky black dog blood splattered on Master Jia's face.
"Damn, how did they splash that?!"
Master Jia cursed and quickly wiped the black dog blood off his face. Then, he saw the vengeful ghost pounce on his young apprentice.
The young apprentice was so frightened that he turned and ran away. In his panic, he bumped into a rock and fell to the ground, but just in time, he dodged the vengeful ghost's deadly claw.
At this moment, the vengeful ghost's claws grabbed the rock where the little apprentice had been sitting, and with a loud crash, the huge round rock shattered into pieces.
The young apprentice was greatly alarmed.
After escaping death, he hurriedly got up from the ground, completely gripped by fear, with only two words in his mind: Run!
So, without hesitation, he took off running, shouting as he went: "You stinking Taoist priest, I don't want the 200 yuan a day! Don't ever come pretending to be your disciple again!"
"Oh my god, ghosts really do exist!!"
Master Jia was so angry that he spat out a mouthful of blood.
Just as the vengeful ghost was about to chase after the fleeing young man, Master Jia saw that the opportunity was just right, so he suddenly thrust out his peach wood sword and attacked the vengeful ghost from behind.
Sensing danger behind him, the vengeful ghost abandoned its pursuit and dodged Master Jia's sword.
It watched the young man who had already fled far away and vented its anger on Master Jia!
Then, the long-haired demon bared its fangs and brandished its claws, which were as sharp as scythes, as it charged at Master Jia once again.
In the critical moment, Master Jia poured all his spiritual power into the peach wood sword.
The peach wood sword emitted a faint light once more in the darkness, piercing towards the vengeful ghost!
"Clang!"
A man and a ghost, a sword and a claw, locked in a stalemate in the night sky!
The peach wood sword collided with the white claws of the vengeful ghost, and the cracks on the sword gradually widened, threatening to break!
Master Jia was even more distressed.
"Could it be that this humble Taoist is truly destined to perish at the hands of this vengeful ghost tonight!"
"Heaven is unjust!"

The winter night was bitterly cold.
Zhang Yuan, wearing flip-flops, hands in his pockets, humming an off-key song, strolled through the campus at night.
The short-sleeved shirt and shorts I was wearing seemed completely out of place with the 5-degree Celsius winter night.
Fortunately, things haven't been peaceful at school lately, and it was cold at night, so no one saw him on the large main road of the school.
When Zhang Yuan reached the girls' dormitory building, he saw a figure running quickly towards him from the other end of the road.
The man ran, panting, shouting, "A ghost!"
He looks crazy.
When he ran up to Zhang Yuan, he tripped and fell.
When the man got up, he and Zhang Yuan exchanged a glance and gave each other a stupid look.
Then the man ran away.
Zhang Yuan walked forward a little further and suddenly felt something was wrong with his surroundings. Why was there such a heavy yin energy?
This is not like the school at all.
He suddenly remembered the man he had encountered on the road who had fled in a panic, and seemed to understand something. So he quickly ran forward.
