Chapter 306 The Ancient Ghost Book
Gong Qianyu asked directly, "How much does this one plus those books cost?"
The old man laughed and said, "This book is too tattered. If you buy those six copies, I will give them to you. I will give you five taels of silver in total."
Gong Qianyu took out five taels of silver and handed it over without hesitation, "Thank you."
The old man smiled and said: "These are all books copied by the old man himself, so they are sold cheaper."
Shui Ling nodded, and the two of them took the books and went to the inn to ask for a room in the upper room. However, when the waiter saw them sharing a room, his eyes looked strange, but he didn't ask any more questions.
Entering the upper room, Shui Ling put the book on the table. The thick pages could not be torn open, and they were very wet. They would break with even the slightest force.
Gong Qianyu frowned and said, "What should I do? How about drying it first?"
Shui Ling smiled slightly and said, "I'll do a trick for you."
"Huh?" Gong Qianyu looked at her.
Shui Ling closed her eyes to concentrate her mental power, then opened her eyes and drew a talisman on the book with her finger.
A golden rune appeared on the blue-black book cover, and soon disappeared. A small whirlwind appeared with the book as the center, then enlarged and swept through the entire room, and finally rolled out two dirty things as big as fists.
Shui Ling opened the window, and there was a small garden behind it. There was no one there at the moment. She waved her hand, and the dirty thing flew out of the window.
Gong Qianyu looked around and saw that the room was much cleaner than before. The biggest change was the book on the table. The original green and black cover disappeared, revealing a milky white color. On it were three gilded characters "Evil Ghost Record".
Shui Ling turned over a page, and on the first page there was a picture of a ferocious monster with a tiger head, an ox body, tiger claws, a long and slender tail, wings on its back, and many thorny hairs.
Gong Qianyu frowned and asked, "What is this?"
Shui Ling laughed, "This is Qiongqi, haven't you seen it before?"
Gong Qianyu shook his head, "I've never seen him before, he looks weird."
Shui Ling pulled him and asked him to sit next to her, "Qiongqi is one of the twelve beasts. It eats people and ghosts, but it has some problems with its brain. It is especially good to the treacherous and evil people, but it also eats ghosts.
Evil ghost, isn't it strange?"
Gong Qianyu thought for a while and asked: "Then you said it likes the most evil people. Does it want to wait until they die and turn into evil ghosts, and then eat them in one bite?"
"Ah...this..." Shui Ling didn't expect this question, but what Gong Qianyu said made sense and couldn't be refuted at all.
Gong Qianyu laughed and said, "Keep watching."
"Okay." Shui Ling turned to the second page. This second page showed a ghost bride wearing a wedding dress and a hijab, but there were two particularly beautiful eyes painted on the hijab, but the pupils were red.
After looking at it for a long time, you will feel that this is the ghost bride looking at you through the hijab, which will send chills down your spine.
Shui Ling raised her hand and nodded her hijab. A string of information instantly appeared in her mind. When she sorted out the words, she broke into a cold sweat.
Gong Qianyu realized something was wrong with her, grabbed her hand, removed her fingers from the hijab, and asked worriedly: "What's wrong?"
Shui Ling shuddered and said in horror: "I...you try touching her hijab with your finger."
Gong Qianyu clicked it with his hand, clicked it several times, and asked doubtfully: "It's nothing, what's wrong with you?"
Shui Ling, "..." Ma Dan, do you have the physique to attract ghosts?
She organized her words and said: "She just gave me a lot of information. In vernacular, it means that wearing red clothes and dying will cause the magnetic field... to make the soul linger."
"Then the soul can slowly grow stronger with the help of this red protection. If we can get another treasure to condense the soul, then it can turn into a ghost and seek life."
"But after it completes its revenge, it will be contaminated with other people's souls. Such an impure soul cannot be reincarnated. As time goes by, it will forget who it is and only think about more souls to enrich itself.
Not dissipated.”
Gong Qianyu frowned, "Let's burn this book, it's too evil."
"No, no, no... this is a good thing. It cannot be burned. I want to learn from it." After saying that, Shui Ling saw the copied books and reached for one to read.
After flipping through a few pages, his face turned red and he handed it to Gong Qianyu, "Look, I'd better read this book."
Gong Qianyu picked it up suspiciously and flipped through a page, "I saw that gorgeous woman taking off her coat..."
He quickly closed the book in his hand, with a very embarrassed look on his face, "This... this is a story book about a sexy ghost hooking up with a pretty scholar."
Shui Ling chuckled and said, "Look, you can play the role of a pervert to seduce me later."
Gong Qianyu's face suddenly turned red, and his eyes began to dodge.
Shui Ling chuckled, "It's so tender, how fun it is."
She turned to the second page, and there was still no words. There was a picture of a wretched ghost holding a gold ingot and copper coins hanging around his neck.
The words next to it read, "Money Greedy".
Shui Ling gained experience, so she tapped the ingot with her hand, and sure enough, information about the "money-greedy ghost" came to mind.
This kind of ghost is formed by people who are particularly greedy for money and cherish their possessions during their lifetime. Its attacks are copper coin darts and ingot seals. It will only die if its money is taken away.
But the attack methods of ghosts are to create illusions. How can we make the ghost feel that its money has been robbed?
Shui Ling shook his head, confused, and there was no detailed explanation here, and there was no case to follow.
Turn to the third page. This third page is a hanged ghost with a green face and a long tongue. His attack method is his tongue. His weak point is the knot behind his neck. If you grab that, it will dissipate.
Shui Ling slowly looked back, learning about various ghosts, and gradually she read half of it.
Shui Ling was stunned when he reached the middle part. There were two words on it, one was golden and the other was blood-red.
Shui Ling wanted to open the back, but the pages were like glue and couldn't be opened.
Gong Qianyu reached out to take it, but he couldn't open it even though he tried.
"This..." Gong Qianyu was stunned, why was there only half of the book?
Shui Ling frowned and thought, do you want to choose one between salvation and destruction? Should you save the ghost or destroy it?
Shui Ling sighed, he didn't know what to choose. Killing it would be the most convenient, as it would solve the problem quickly.
But like the father and daughter I met, they were innocent and they had to be killed. That was too inhumane.
Shui Ling hesitated for a moment, then straightened the book and turned to the middle page.
She stretched out her finger and slowly clicked on the word degree.
But after waiting for a long time, nothing happened. She clicked on the word again, and nothing happened.
"Are you kidding me? Let me choose, and then nothing will happen." Shui Ling flipped the book over and over.
Chapter completed!
