Chapter 116: Ghosts 2 (Revised)

The case of the ghost king has a prototype. If you are interested, you can search online for "Japanese female high school student's cement corpse murder case"

So An Cui left, and she tried to take Luo Chenyu's ashes away but was rejected because they were worried that Luo Chenyu would become a ghost and they needed his ashes just in case.

One interesting thing about this world is that the existence of ghosts has been confirmed. Everyone knows that there are ghosts in this world. If you wear ghost-seeing glasses, you can see ghosts. Every household has a talisman to drive away ghosts, and everyone carries amulets. The government strongly publicizes the disadvantages of having contact with ghosts and calls on people to call the police immediately if they see a ghost and notify the relevant departments to get rid of the ghost.

Every province, city, and region has ghost exorcism departments and salvation departments.

According to the original setting, ashes are very important to ghosts. If the ashes are controlled, they can be used to cast spells that directly hurt his soul and subdue him. Therefore, the ashes of people who were tortured to death like this will be preserved by the government just in case.

It was because of his ashes that the heroine was able to control the ghost king and save the parents of the richest demon he was going to kill.

However, An Cui felt that they deserved to die. Why should they save them? They created the devil and protected the devil. They killed more than just Luo Chenyu. They should die to pay their debts. It was too tragic that the victim was killed and turned into a ghost and came back for revenge, but they were stopped by others.

But she couldn't always sympathize with Luo Chenyu, because Luo Chenyu might kill her, so An Cui had to find a way to protect herself, and this world felt particularly unscientific and worth studying, so she had to explore it. The mainstream of this world was exorcism, and there was also exorcism abroad, so she planned to find a ghost exorcism school to learn how to exorcise ghosts.

Since the existence of ghosts was confirmed, many wealthy and well-connected schools have opened majors in demon slaying and invited powerful Taoist priests and monks to teach. Now this system has become quite mature. Since she wants to learn, she must go to the best school, so she plans to go to the capital and attend the famous Xuanling Academy.

Chen Lixiang's savings were really small, and An Cui had no time to make money during this period. The town was too small and there were eyes everywhere. Chen Lixiang's parents were weird. They would come to her everywhere, cursing and making weird remarks that would annoy her to the point of explosion even if she was a saint. They also tried to lock her up and marry her to a widower. An Cui had never met someone who could challenge her tolerance to this extent. If she didn't have to abide by the rules of the game, she would have killed them.

Now that Luo Chenyu's matter has come to an end, she no longer needs to be summoned by the police or the court. She doesn't even have to worry about not being able to afford a plane ticket to the capital. She has to leave quickly before she can't help but kill them.

She wore a mask to avoid being recognized as Chen Lixiang.

After getting on the train, I saw talismans passing on the train. Walking past some compartments, I could hear young people discussing metaphysical things.

"I want to learn metaphysics, but my mother doesn't want to..."

"It's hard to find a job. There aren't as many ghosts as before. Even with glasses on, it's hard to find a spirit..."

"It's mainly about aptitude in metaphysics. People with low spiritual power won't be able to cure powerful ghosts even if they learn it. Not only will they not make much money, but it will also be easy for them to get into trouble. Your mother is doing this for your good..."

"..."

...

When he passed by the small town and heard about the brutal murder, he deliberately stayed there and waited. He knew that the ghost-exorcising department must be on alert and would directly kill him if he showed up, so he set up a special formation on the mountain.

While Luo Chenyu was in a daze, her body floated uncontrollably towards a mountain, into a cave, and then was sucked into the talisman water pool in the middle of a formation.

Soon after, various resentful ghosts continued to pour in from all directions. They rushed to the pool, as if they had entered a different dimension, and disappeared. Then the water in the pool began to boil, and hideous screaming faces emerged, almost as if they were about to scream, but before they could make a sound, they were pulled down and disappeared, reappeared, and disappeared again...

A man was standing outside the pool setting up a formation to attract all the resentful ghosts from all directions into this cave. All the ghosts were led into the soul-gathering pool.

It is difficult for ghosts to become stronger through cultivation, and it takes too long, so most of them choose to devour their kind to become stronger. The more they devour, and the stronger they devour, the stronger they become. The ghosts who are attracted to this formation are all resentful, so they instinctively want to become stronger and will instinctively devour their kind.

To put it bluntly, he is raising Gu, and the strongest one that is finally trained will become a fierce ghost and become a slave for him to control.

New ghosts were constantly attracted to join. Luo Chenyu was lying in the crowded spirit gathering pool. Resentful ghosts kept drilling into his body, trying to tear him apart and devour him. This made his body become very large and twisted like a fat flesh worm. His head stood out and looked weird on this terrible body. His beautiful face had his eyes slightly open, looking at the water blankly.

He felt very pain, the whole world was dark, and life was worse than death. Then suddenly, unexpectedly, the darkness was split, and someone came to his side. But it was too late, she had also turned a blind eye to his plight, she came too late, and she was also an accomplice.

He hates her.

The man outside the pool was surprised and delighted. He never expected that this was a vengeful spirit with the qualifications of a ghost king. It was a blessing from heaven!

...

The Metaphysics College is different from other schools. They recruit students all year round, do not have regular written exams, and do not consider age, only qualifications.

When An Cui arrived, other people who had made appointments online to take the exam today had arrived. While they were waiting, a few more people arrived, but they did not look like candidates. The girl in the center looked no more than a high school girl, but she had a mysterious aura as if she was very powerful.

It was not until An Cui saw a middle-aged man who looked like a Taoist priest come out to greet them and call her "Hongti" that she remembered that this was the heroine Pu Hongti.

The heroine Pu Hongti was the founder of a sect hundreds of years ago. Later, she slept in this era and found that although metaphysics developed rapidly in this era, many famous works such as the Book of Changes were missing. In addition, the spiritual energy in modern times is thin, and there are few people with spiritual power. So she returned to her old job. The original novel tells the story of how she demonstrated true metaphysics in this world, became famous, and was sought after by the whole world.

An Cui was thinking, Pu Hongti looked at her, and for some reason she was slightly stunned. But she quickly calmed down, smiled at An Cui, and then turned her head away as if nothing had happened.

An Cui felt a little strange, but the exam began.

The exam was divided into two parts. The first part was a written test, which consisted of an examination of some basic books related to the metaphysics of this world. When An Cui came, she looked through all the books she could find in the library. This exam was a piece of cake for her, and she passed it quickly.

The second part is to test your aptitude, which is to see if you have spiritual power in your body. If you do, you can practice. An Cui thought this was quite mysterious. They asked her to put her hand on a table and imagine that there was a force in her body, controlling it to attack the desk.

"Master, why do you keep looking at that person?" someone among the people with Pu Hongti asked in a low voice.

Another person said: "It looks familiar to me."

Pu Hongti said: "She is Chen Lixiang who was in the news before."

"It's her!"

As they were talking, they suddenly heard a loud bang and an explosion.

Looking up, An Cui was stretching out her hand and pressing on the table, and the desk under her hand had been blown to pieces. The teacher next to her was stunned.

Excellent qualifications! Abundant spiritual power!

Although An Cui still didn't quite understand, she knew this was a good thing after seeing their reactions.

Pu Hongti suddenly clenched his fists and stared at An Cui without blinking.

After being successfully admitted, An Cui prepared to return to the hotel and move into the dormitory the next day.

However, not long after she left school, An Cui suddenly found that she seemed to be followed. She immediately fought back and seemed to have gotten rid of the person. She entered the hotel and the moment she reached the door, she noticed something strange, but before she could turn around, the door suddenly opened and a hand behind her suddenly pushed her hard into the room.

There were no people, but ghosts. Without saying a word, these ghosts punched and kicked An Cui. In the narrow space, there were too many ghosts, so An Cui's counterattack did not land effectively. She could only curl up into a ball as quickly as possible and hold her head to protect her internal organs.

Fists and kicks rained down like raindrops. An Cui thought of the test at school and thought calmly, spiritual power... spiritual power...

The punches and kicks on her body soon stopped, but they did not intend to let her go. An Cui's curled-up body was pulled apart and her neck was strangled.

【Ahhhhh, big boss!!!】

【What the hell! What the hell!! 】

[S-rank is really terrifying, even the big guys are so embarrassed!! ]

[It's over, is the boss going to quit the dungeon? ]

Breathing became increasingly difficult, her struggles were futile, and her palms could only feel the coolness but could not touch anything solid.

The angrier An Cui was, the calmer she was, even at such a critical moment. While she was having difficulty breathing, a flash of inspiration suddenly occurred to her mind. She stretched out her hand suddenly, and there seemed to be light on her palm. This light allowed her to catch the entity of the ghost pressing on her. She just caught the other's shoulder, and the other screamed as if it was burned by fire, and immediately let go of her neck and tried to escape.

An Cui did not let him escape. She restrained him with force, turned around and pressed on him, touched his neck, and strangled him hard.

Although she couldn't see it, she was sure that she strangled him to death in one go. Perhaps it was the spiritual power in her hand that caused it. In any case, he was dead. Then a cold wind rushed through her face and body, and there were movements at the windows and doors. The other ghosts fled.

An Cui walked to the mirror and saw deep blue pinch marks on her neck. When she took off her clothes, her body was also covered with blue and purple marks.

She pulled the cheap amulet from her pocket and threw it into the toilet.

An Cui thought that being targeted by a ghost was an accident until she went to school the next day and was refused entry. She was disqualified from admission.

"reason?"

"Your mind is impure and too violent. Even if you have excellent talent, you will be harmful to mankind after you graduate." The other party said, "Not only our Xuanling Academy, but no Xuan Academy in the country will accept you."

It was strange that An Cui hadn't realized that someone was messing with her at this time. Who was it? The only people she had offended so far were the four murderers who killed Luo Chenyu and their families.

Was it the richest man who had threatened her? But he was so rich that no one in the Xuan Academy in the country would accept a student with such excellent qualifications as her. And now the people of the whole country were watching them. If she died, they would be suspected immediately. Are they so stupid?

No. The face of the heroine suddenly popped up in An Cui's mind, but why did Pu Hongti do this?

At this time, in Cuicui 524's live broadcast room:

【!!! I just came from Alice's live broadcast room. The host Alice and our boss are in the same instance! Puhongti is her!!】

[Could it be she who is causing trouble? ]

[Why is the heroine so weird? If she had been cast as the heroine, wouldn't she have had a golden finger? This is so unfair!]

[What's unfair about this? This is a random allocation by Galaxy Games. There must be a reason for this allocation. It can't be blamed on us, Alice.]

Alice was the anchor ranked eleventh in the preliminary round, which means she was the one who was beaten by An Cui. She could have chosen to cooperate with An Cui, but she didn't want to cooperate with her and wanted to be hostile to her. After all, the game videos of the top ten players can be edited into a movie version and released, and their fame and status will be different. However, she was squeezed to eleventh place by An Cui, so it is not difficult to understand that she hates An Cui.

At this time, An Cui also thought of the possibility that multiple players might appear in a copy of the second-stage competition rules.

Good, she thought, this is challenging.

Pu Hongti hid in the dark, watching An Cui being driven away, feeling somewhat relieved. She didn't even hide her dislike for her. What if the fans saw it? She really couldn't hold it back. She was so capable that she didn't need to rely on those movie versions to be popular. Why did they come to compete with her? It was hard to accept the thought. Since they were assigned to the same copy this time, she would not let her go! Supernatural copy, you are a scientist, let's see how far you can go!

...

Since she was excluded from all the mysterious schools, An Cui gave up the idea of ​​going to school to learn spells, and went to a high-configuration Internet cafe to get on the Internet and take some short-term high-return jobs. An Cui was doing two things at once, while recalling the feeling of using spiritual power, thinking about it, she noticed that her palms were glowing faintly, although the light disappeared quickly, but she still felt a holy smell for a moment.

The spiritual power allows her to touch ghosts, and those ghosts are particularly afraid of the spiritual power.

Spiritual power is the nemesis of demons and monsters. If demons are born because of human evil, spiritual power comes from the kindness of the most righteous and pure human soul. It is said that it can purify all the filth in the world. However, the natural environment is getting worse and worse. In modern society, evil seems to have overwhelmed good. The spiritual energy of heaven and earth is thin, and fewer and fewer people have spiritual power. Even if someone is born with spiritual power, this spiritual power is very weak, so they need to use spells, formations, and props to enhance their power to achieve the purpose of exorcising evil.

No one has ever seen how powerful pure spiritual energy is.

An Cui's fingers slowed down as she typed on the keyboard, her eyes narrowed slightly, and she fell into a brief moment of contemplation. Since her spiritual power was so strong, why did she have to learn those spells and formations? It was not in line with her aesthetic taste to kill a ghost or a demon.

Okay, if the unknown anchor doesn't want her to learn, then she won't learn. But don't think that she will give up. Don't underestimate a scientist who can immerse himself in research for several years for a goal and will not give up even after thousands of failures.

It is mentioned in the original book that the reason why Grapefruit has such powerful spiritual power is that she, a master of metaphysics from hundreds of years ago, has a different understanding of metaphysics from all modern people. When she wrote down the great documents in her mind and completed the missing parts, she became a great person who changed the whole world and brought welfare to all mankind. She was deified and a new era of universal cultivation was opened.

Comprehension? Isn't that what she is best at? Literature? There is a library in her memory palace, which contains millions of books, including the Tao Te Ching, the Book of Changes, the Tui Bei Tu, the Qi Men Dun Jia, the Tai Chi Diagram, etc. These books, although they have been read but not studied carefully, can be read out and studied again.

She was not in a hurry. She explored slowly and found all the great works from ancient times that she had ever read in her memory palace. She recited and thought about them anytime and anywhere, and comprehended the wisdom of the ancients.

All the staff of the hotel where An Cui lives have met An Cui. She is a very special guest who has lived in the hotel for several months. She is not very pretty, but her soul seems to exude fragrance. Her every move is full of charm, which adds too much to her face. Even a beautiful person will look as if he has no presence next to her. She perfectly interprets the saying "temperament is more important than appearance".

She was always dressed gorgeously and elegantly, with long and graceful dresses, but her fiery red lips often uttered some mysterious whispers. She would sometimes sit in the hotel lobby to bask in the sun, with a lazy and casual posture, and would sit there for a whole morning. They didn't know if it was an illusion or perhaps the reflection of the sun, but they occasionally looked up and saw that her whole body seemed to be glowing, as holy as a fairy from heaven, attracting everyone's attention.

I don't know how many customers who tried to flirt with her came back empty-handed. They saw with their own eyes that a nationally famous playboy was fascinated after taking one look at her. From then on, his girlfriend, who used to change clothes as frequently as she did, disappeared and became a regular in their hotel, following her around like a dog all day long. She didn't look like his voluptuous ex-girlfriends, so it was her inner qualities that fascinated him, not her appearance.

During this period, ghosts often sneaked around outside the hotel. It was not easy to be a ghost these days. Large hotels like this all had masters look at Feng Shui, draw formations, and put up spells. Ordinary ghosts could not get close to them. Ghost cameras were also installed, so they would be discovered. They could only wait for An Cui to come out of the hotel to attack her, but she never came out.

Pu Hongti heard that An Cui had not come out of the hotel for several months, and sneered in his heart, "Finally, you are afraid. In the face of unscience, your science is useless, right? Do you really think you can do everything? Destroying someone's wealth is like killing their parents, so I just want to kill you now, which is not difficult to understand, right?"

"She is really patient, just like the Ninja Turtle. I want to see how long she can endure." Pu Hongti said as she put on the Taoist priest's uniform with a yellow background and black Bagua patterns, which is the uniform of the Taoist Priest Association.

"Master, have we gone to Heilan Mountain?" asked the young man who had been following her.

"Those old men can't hold on any longer and will soon ask me for help. Oh, they looked down on me in the past, thinking that I was too aggressive and overbearing, and they also asserted that I would never get better. I'll let them see whether they are useless or I am too aggressive."

In the live broadcast room of Puhongti:

[6666 My Alice is so cool!! ]

【Show those who look down on you a lesson! 】

[Look forward to Aili's dazzling appearance, blinding their eyes! ]

[That anchor named An Cui is really a coward. She was hyped up so much, saying that she is omnipotent and nothing can stump her. She was praised like a god, but it turned out that she was just taking shortcuts. When it came to her non-professional field, she was still overwhelmed. She hid in a hotel for several months without coming out. She is really amazing.]

[Don't mention that person in our live broadcast room, it's an eyesore]

At this time, in the hotel where these people could not see, An Cui took back the spiritual power that overflowed from the surface of her body. When she opened her eyes, she saw a mouth approaching her trying to kiss her secretly.

An Cui slapped him and said, "Get lost."

A former playboy and now a dog? Ning Xiao didn't mind being slapped. He grabbed An Cui's hand with a silly smile on his handsome face, "Who will serve you if I leave? Look, I have prepared everything you want."

An Cui glanced at the box behind him, pulled her hand back, and walked towards the elevator first. Ning Xiao followed immediately.

The front desk staff couldn't help but shake their heads. If they weren't afraid that the defendant didn't have the money to sue, they really wanted to take a video and post it online. It would definitely become a trending topic immediately.

An Cui took Ning Xiao to the room. Ning Xiao put the long box on his back on the table and opened it. Inside was a longbow and a tube of arrows.

This was the weapon An Cui wanted. She found that spiritual power must rely on a medium to allow it to leave the body. Otherwise, even if she forced it into a ball, it would quickly disintegrate and disappear, and there was no way to launch it like a bullet to attack the opponent. She had already abandoned the talismans, so she had to find another medium, otherwise she could only rely on her hands to fight monsters.

A long sword is also OK, but it lacks a sense of ritual, after all, this is a metaphysical copy. After thinking about it, a simple longbow and simple wooden arrows are very suitable, anyway, arrows are auxiliary, and spiritual power is the main.

The bow was smooth and had a slight weight to it, and it felt good in the hand. The same was true for the arrow. An Cui put the arrow on the bow, pulled the slightly taut string, shrank the bow, and stared forward along the arrow. In an instant, her sharp sight seemed to have turned into a sharp arrow, ready to shoot through all the illusions and darkness.

She was talking to Ning Xiao. For a moment, Ning Xiao felt as if his heart was about to be shot through. He was distracted for a moment and blinked several times before he came back to his senses.

An Cui had already put down the bow and arrow in her hand, "Not bad."

"Right. We used dragon tongue wood, which has the best hardness and toughness, and the strings are also... Put on your gloves, don't cut your hands. Also, I think those Taoist priests, as long as they can catch ghosts and kill demons, all have work clothes, which show their status and style. I think you can't be without one, so I took the initiative to have someone design a set for you." Ning Xiao opened the other box nervously, afraid that An Cui would not appreciate it.

An Cui raised her eyebrows and saw a pure white witch costume inside, a simplified version of the ancient witch costume. The smooth white satin was also embroidered with the Bagua pattern, but it was embroidered with silver thread. It looked very beautiful, and the wide cuffs would surely look very beautiful when lifted up to draw the bow.

It is beautiful, but it is so white that it will not look good if it gets dirty.

An Cui originally wanted to refuse, but seeing that Ning Xiao seemed afraid of being rejected, she decided to just wear it, but be careful not to get it dirty.

After changing into this holy witch costume, taking a bow and arrow and her younger brother, An Cui left the hotel for the first time in several months. She attracted 100% of the attention along the way, and many people were stunned. In today's society, people wearing Taoist robes and Tianshi robes can be seen everywhere on the street. People can tell that they are engaged in metaphysics by looking at the clothes.

But there are very few people who are neither wearing a Taoist robe nor looking like a Taoist priest, but who can be recognized as a master at first glance. And I don't know if it's an illusion, but she seems to emit a very soft and non-glaring light. Even when she passes by, the whole person seems to be baptized from the inside out, and the whole person feels much more refreshed.

As soon as An Cui went out, a gust of cold wind blew behind her. The ghosts who had been waiting for An Cui for a long time finally saw her. They were so excited that they didn't notice anything unusual and rushed over in unison.

However, just as she was about to get close to An Cui, a burst of spiritual power leaked out of An Cui's body, and several little ghosts turned into ashes. She didn't stop, didn't even turn her head, and got into Ning Xiao's car.

The car headed to the currently controversial Heilan Mountain.

It wasn't that no one saw what happened just now. The photographer, who had just switched the camera to the ghost-seeing mode, saw through the lens the spiritual power that just burst out from An Cui and the ghost that was instantly turned into ashes. He was shocked for several seconds before he suddenly came to his senses quickly checked the camera, and found that it had been recorded.
