Chapter 14: Ghost Raising and Strengthening

At this time, it was nearly noon, and Old Quezi was busy in the courtyard, seemingly weaving a bamboo basket.

"Back?"

"Mm."

"Woof, woof."

Seeing a stranger following Lin Feng's butt, the black puppy immediately barked.

"Where did the dog puppy come from?"

Old Quezi heard the barking and only then noticed the black puppy following Lin Feng.

"Met it on the way back, it looked quite smart, so I brought it back."

Lin Feng found a small stool and sat down, then rubbed the black puppy's head.

Old Quezi seemed to remember something, then said to Lin Feng: "Black dogs are good, black dogs can ward off evil!"

"Is that so?"

Lin Feng replied casually; whether this statement had any basis still needed to be verified.

Being touched by Lin Feng, this little black dog also started licking his palm.

The fur of this little black dog that escaped from the butcher's hands was dry, and its ribs were obvious; clearly, it didn't have much meat.

In this era, not only was it difficult for people to live, but dogs were also the same.

"Is there any leftover rice in the room?"

Then Lin Feng asked Old Quezi.

"Yes, there is still some rice porridge left from the morning."

Old Quezi knew what Lin Feng wanted to do without asking, so he pointed to the kitchen direction and said.

"Okay."

Lin Feng then got up and put the leftover rice into a broken pottery bowl, and the little black dog smelled the food and immediately gathered around to eat it in big mouthfuls.

Seeing this, Lin Feng didn't care anymore, but went alone to the mountain forest behind the graveyard; he planned to summon the newly obtained blood ghost to see.

This ghost was different from the two ghosts he obtained earlier; it was not obtained through the "Ghost-Planting and Ghost-Raising Scripture," but had already turned into a ghost before burial.

Arriving at a quiet place, Lin Feng summoned the opera ghost and the embroidery ghost first just in case, and then summoned the blood ghost.

The appearance of the blood ghost was a terrifying corpse without skin; as soon as it appeared, streams of blood spread toward the surroundings.

The strong bloody smell made people frown, and what made Lin Feng feel uncomfortable was that this thing was basically impossible for him to control, and at most it could be taken back into the "Ghost-Planting and Ghost-Raising Scripture."

"This kind of ghost object is difficult to control, it's better to deal with it early!"

Just as Lin Feng thought this, the blood ghost suddenly moved; he didn't know if Lin Feng had triggered its killing rule.

"Take action!"

However, the next moment, Lin Feng moved instantly, and the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand smashed down toward the blood ghost without any hesitation.

At the same time, the embroidery ghost's needle and thread danced, constantly piercing the blood ghost; what made people feel weird was that the originally white thread of the embroidery ghost was actually being dyed red.

"Bang!"

The Ruyi Golden Cudgel fell, and a large amount of corpse water also appeared under Lin Feng's control.

Blood water and corpse water, two weird powers, collided instantly, and these two powers were similar, falling into a stalemate the moment they collided.

At this time, Lin Feng took action again, and the Ruyi Golden Cudgel grew smaller and stabbed the blood ghost's main body, then grew wildly, looking like it was about to burst the blood ghost.

"Gurgle~"

But suddenly, streams of blood sprayed toward the surroundings, instantly dyeing the surrounding trees and rocks red.

Immediately after, the trees withered and the rocks rotted; if Lin Feng hadn't dodged in time, he would probably have been hit.

"Decompose it for me!"

The embroidery ghost immediately stepped forward, and strands of blood-colored thread pulled the already broken blood ghost's main body frantically, and at the same time, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel smashed down again.

"Bang!!"

This time Lin Feng used all his strength, and the whole blood ghost was smashed flat on the ground, looking like it was about to turn into a pool of filthy blood.

However, the next moment, a large amount of corpse water covered it, completely suppressing the blood ghost's power.

Seeing that the suppression was completed, Lin Feng immediately began to prepare.

Peach wood nails, copper coins, incense—these things were not difficult to find, and soon Lin Feng came to the mountain forest again to perform the sacrificial ritual.

This time Lin Feng prepared to strengthen the embroidery ghost's ability; during the battle just now, he found that the embroidery ghost and the blood ghost's abilities seemed to be able to merge.

Peach wood nails were inserted into the remaining corpse remains of the blood ghost, twelve copper coins were distributed according to the

Soon, the Blood Ghost on the ground gradually vanished as if wiped away by something.

At the same time, the plain white mourning clothes originally on the Tou Gui were instantly dyed red, and even the needle and thread in its hands turned completely red, faintly giving one a sense of writhing.

With the Tou Gui dressed in red and paired with its lifelike funerary makeup, Chen Xiuniang no longer looked like a strange corpse, but rather a bride about to be married.

It was just that this bride carried a thick, bloody stench, giving one a feeling of madness and cruelty.

"Hoo~ All return!"

Lin Feng exhaled a long breath of stale air, and then the Xi Gui and the Tou Gui vanished simultaneously.

"Hm? It actually turned directly into a Great Ghost?"

Subsequently, Lin Feng noticed that the entry for the Tou Gui within the "Corpse-Planting and Ghost-Raising Scripture" in his mind had changed.

The original evaluation had changed from Small Ghost to Great Ghost.

"Very good!"

This made Lin Feng overjoyed, and at the same time, he understood why he had needed the power of two ghosts to take down the Blood Ghost just now.

After finishing this, Lin Feng took out a special stick of incense; it was precisely the Ghost-Raising Incense he had obtained from the Ghost Suppression Division.

He lit it and stuck it in the ground, and immediately, a faint, putrid odor mixed with the scent of sandalwood wafted out.

Then, Lin Feng summoned the Xi Gui once again. This time, the Xi Gui did not possess his body, but appeared in the same manner as it had when wearing its theatrical costume.

The curling incense smoke seemed to have a great attraction for the Xi Gui; it lay directly on top of the Ghost-Raising Incense, continuously absorbing the smoke being emitted.

The incense, as thick as a finger, was completely absorbed in less than ten minutes, and Lin Feng noticed that the originally messy theatrical makeup on the Xi Gui's face had become even more vivid.

After retracting the Xi Gui, Lin Feng returned to the gravedigger's small courtyard. The harvest from this trip to bury people for the Ghost Suppression Division was greater than he had expected.

Especially the good things in the hands of the Ghost Suppression Division made him somewhat covetous; after all, the information obtained from those three people alone, as well as the living information within the corpses, was enough to show that the Ghost Suppression Division possessed deep attainments in the study of ghosts.

"I wonder how the various incenses and other items are made. If I could obtain these techniques, that would be great!"

However, compared to the limited supplies obtained from the Ghost Suppression Division, he wanted the related techniques even more.

If he could master one of these techniques, it would likely benefit him for a lifetime.

"Woo-woo."

Hearing Lin Feng's footsteps, the little black dog quickly ran from the corner of the wall to his side, jumping and bounding around him.

It had to be said that this dog was indeed clever; in Lin Feng's view, it was worth cultivating, only he did not currently master any good training methods.

"Alright, stop bouncing around!"

Lin Feng gently kicked the excited black dog with his foot, then found a stool and sat down.

The little black dog immediately and obediently lay down by his feet and began to lazily bask in the sun.
