Chapter 425

:

"In a small village southeast of Hanshui City, called Bai Shui 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, which was very strange."

"Liu San shouted for his wife at home to no avail, so he started to search, and finally found his wife drowned in a water basin."

"The coroner found that when the wife died, there were no signs of any struggle, as if she had drowned herself in the water basin voluntarily, which was very puzzling. So it was reported layer by layer. After a survey, the government determined that it was harmed by a drowning ghost."

"The so-called drowning ghost is someone who drowned in the water, has resentment in their heart, and happened to encounter a stream of yin energy when they died, thus forming a ghost, making trouble in the world."

"Drowning ghosts often live in rivers, lakes, and seas. It just so happens that there is a cold pool near Bai Shui Village. The pool water is too cold, and mortals will get sick if they drink it for a long time. The yin energy is extremely heavy, which is just suitable for drowning ghosts to live."

"A senior brother in the late Jin Dan stage happened to pass by on the way back to the sect. Hearing this, he went to the cold pool to investigate and asked the living corpse to go into the water to capture the drowning ghost."

"But that drowning ghost is powerful, at least in the half-step Nascent Soul stage, and it is even possible that it is in the early Nascent Soul stage."

"There are too many ghost disasters in Hanshui City, and the power that the government and the sect can mobilize is stretched thin, and there is no extra manpower to deal with the drowning ghost."

"How about it? Do you want to take this mission?"

Zhao Po got a mission, summarized it simply, and asked Lu Yang and the other three.

Meng Jingzhou felt that a mere drowning ghost had no challenge: "It sounds like there is no difficulty. Is there anything more challenging?"

"There is a female ghost marrying and having a ghost marriage..."

"Let's take the drowning ghost." Meng Jingzhou hurriedly interrupted Zhao Po's words.

Just kidding, with his current situation, either the female ghost looks at him with displeasure and doesn't even come out, or she looks at him with displeasure and wants to slap him to death.

"That's fine, let's set off." Before leaving, Zhao Po gave each of the three a talisman.

"What is this talisman?"

"Soul-Driving and Soul-Scattering Talisman, specially made by the sect. Every disciple who goes to solve ghost disasters is issued one. The sect found that ghosts are difficult to completely kill. Even if you beat the fierce ghost down and beat it to weakness, without corresponding means, it is very difficult to kill the fierce ghost. Working with the talisman masters and ghost-catching Daoists of the government, they specially made this talisman overnight."

The disciples of the Corpse-Driving Sect are all corpse-drivers and practice yin-attribute cultivation methods, which are similar to the attributes of fierce ghosts. They can defeat fierce ghosts but are difficult to kill.

"Wait until we defeat the drowning ghost, then we can drive this talisman to solve the drowning ghost!"

"Your sect is quite thoughtful." Lu Yang smiled and put away the Soul-Driving and Soul-Scattering Talisman. Actually, this was not very necessary for them.

With Meng Jingzhou, the ghost nemesis, he could even burn the fierce ghost to death.

Whether it is the Pure Yang True Fire or the Samadhi True Fire, they are things that restrain fierce ghosts.

The cold pool is located at the diagonal corner of the Corpse-Driving Sect, separated by a whole Hanshui City. The group of people left the Corpse-Driving Sect, passed directly through Hanshui City, and passed by the Once More Barbecue Shop, which was still in the trial business period.

Hanshui City is still prosperous, with people coming and going, and people moving. The ghost disaster has not had much impact on the prosperity in the city.

First, there are many people in Hanshui City, and the yang energy is heavy, so fierce ghosts dare not easily step in and make trouble here.

Second, even if they go home, it is not necessarily very safe. A door cannot block fierce ghosts who have the heart to make trouble. On the contrary, it is safer in a place with many people outside.

The four people and one corpse followed the location described in the mission, passed through Bai Shui Village, and arrived at the cold pool.

Standing by the pool, the four could feel the chill brought by the cold pool.

The cold pool is surrounded by mountains on three sides, cannot be exposed to sunlight all year round, and is surrounded by lush vegetation, especially several old locust trees, which are the most conspicuous.

Under multiple factors, this made the pool water cold.

The pool water is clear, but one cannot see the bottom, and one cannot find the location of the drowning ghost.

"How strange, why isn't there a single fish?" Meng Jingzhou was puzzled. According to reason, there should be many fish in this kind of place. Even if there were big fish weighing eighty or a hundred jin, it wouldn't be strange.

But the reality is that there is not a single fish in the pool water, not even fish fry.

"Eaten by a ghost? Do ghosts eat fish?"

Lu Yang pushed Meng Jingzhou, who had endless questions, to the side, squatted on the ground and observed the cold pool: "Don't worry about whether it eats fish or not for now. Just ask after catching it. The problem now is how to go down. Who among us is proficient in water, and can lure the fierce ghost out?"

The four looked at each other. Lu Yang is a sword spiritual root, Meng Jingzhou is a single-body spiritual root, Seeing Man Gu is an ancient barbarian, and Zhao Po is a corpse-driver. None of them are good at water.

"I'll do it. I'll ask the living corpse to go down!"

Zhao Po lit three sticks of incense and bowed three times to the living corpse. The living corpse absorbed the breath of the three sticks of incense, and a trace of ruddiness appeared on its pale skin, and its hollow eyes became a bit lively.

The living corpse jumped into the cold pool, and the calm pool water rippled. Clearly, the living corpse found the drowning ghost and was fighting.

The power of a ghost comes from the fear in the hearts of living beings and the fragility of the soul. These two points have no effect on the living corpse.

Zhao Po had cold sweat on his head, and his teeth were chattering. He could synchronize the feelings of the living corpse and sense how powerful the fierce ghost the living corpse was facing was, and the pressure increased.

"Brother Zhao?" Lu Yang was concerned.

"The information is wrong. The drowning ghost below is not a half-step Nascent Soul or early Nascent Soul, but a mid-Nascent Soul!"

"The living corpse also saw a female corpse below. It should be the wife who drowned in Bai Shui Village!"

"The living corpse is luring the drowning ghost out. Get ready!" Zhao Po shouted.

Lu Yang and the other three heard the words and quickly set up a fighting posture. As soon as the drowning ghost appeared, it would suffer a fierce bombardment.

Bang—

The water surface exploded, and a figure jumped out of the water.

"Samadhi True Fire!"

"Pure Yang True Fire!"

"Overbearing Barbarian King Fist!"

The three attacked at the same time, and just as they were about to hit the figure, they were hurriedly called to stop by Zhao Po.

"Stop, stop, stop. The one who came out is not the drowning ghost, it's my living corpse!"

The three hurriedly turned their direction, the attack missed, hit the mountain cliff, boulders rolled down, and it roared.

Zhao Po's eyelids jumped when he saw this. How could this attack look like the power of the Jin Dan stage?

"Where is the drowning ghost?" Lu Yang was puzzled.

Zhao Po showed an embarrassed smile: "My voice was too loud when I shouted to get ready just now. The drowning ghost heard it, knew there was an ambush, and ran back."

"It's difficult now. Knowing there is an ambush, it definitely won't take the bait." Seeing Man Gu was in a dilemma, not knowing what to do.

"How about using the storage ring to drain the water?" Meng Jingzhou proposed.

Zhao Po shook his head: "No, this cold pool has become the domain of the drowning ghost. The storage ring cannot absorb things with owners."

Lu Yang smiled confidently: "Leave this matter to me. It just so happens to let you see the unique skill I have practiced hard for many days!"

"What crooked magic spell did you learn again?" Meng Jingzhou asked curiously.

"This divine ability is very famous. You will know as soon as you see it!" Lu Yang pretended to be profound, making Meng Jingzhou even more curious, his heart itching.

"Show me quickly."

Lu Yang paced by the pool, using magic power to make the wind blow under his robe, blowing his robe up, quite a sense of becoming an immortal.

"Listen, fierce ghost below, this Daoist will give you one chance. If you don't come out again, don't blame this Daoist for using means." The pool water was calm.

Lu Yang had long guessed that the drowning ghost would not respond. He turned his palm over, pressed it on the water surface, and then lifted it up suddenly. The pool water formed a water tornado, all entering his palm, revealing the drowning ghost living at the very bottom of the pool water.

Lu Yang looked back, waved his sleeves lightly, extremely dashing: "Guessed it, this is the palm I practiced hard for many days..."

Zhao Po was dumbfounded when he saw this scene and couldn't speak for a long time: "This, this is the legendary Universe in the Sleeve!"

Flicking his sleeves, he absorbed the pool water into his sleeves and disappeared. If this isn't Universe in the Sleeve, what else could it be?

"... Yes, this is my Universe in the Sleeve!"
