Chapter 42 The Past
Facing the sky full of black hair, Liu Houyi was not afraid.
The eight-sided wooden sword in his hand struck out steadily, breaking every strand of black hair.
Having fought with this ghost for six days, Liu Hou was basically familiar with the female water ghost's tricks.
Water ghosts commit suicide in rivers, lakes and seas with lingering resentment and cannot be reincarnated, eventually becoming evil ghosts that harm others. They secretly wander under the water, drag living people into the water and drown them, becoming their own scapegoats.
Water ghosts are the most powerful when they are in the water.
Although Liu Hou still doesn't know who trapped the female water ghost in the mirror. However, he did get a big advantage because the female water ghost left the water.
The biggest attack method of this female water ghost is to wrap her hair around her. The second is to treat the mirror world as water and suddenly emerge from other mirrors.
After cutting off the black hair of the female water ghost, Liu Hou turned the sword again and stabbed it in the throat.
As long as the ghosts hold that resentment in their mouths, then their Adam's apple must be their vital point. As long as the throat is pierced and the ghosts' resentment is dispersed, the ghosts will immediately be like a dropped balloon, and their spiritual bodies will collapse.
Seeing that the eight-sided wooden sword was about to stab her throat, the female water ghost immediately got into the mirror, and almost instantly, she got out from behind Liu Hou.
Its ten fingers shone white in the moonlight, and they were just white bone knuckles with no skin or flesh.
This female water ghost's skin and flesh had been eaten away by fish and shrimps at the bottom of the river many years ago.
Bone joints can also be fatal. Just poke into Liu Hou's heart and your heart can be dug out.
Liu Hou turned the sword and heard a metallic clang. The eight-sided wooden sword collided with the female ghost's knuckle bones. The ghost-suppressing aura on the peach wood sword caused a burning wave to emit from the white bones of the female ghost's fingers.
Smoke, it screamed in pain, and its hair twisted towards Liu Hou again.
Female water ghosts are not very intelligent, they come and go based on instinct, and they only have a few attack methods.
Liu Hou learned the Qi Family Kung Fu, and although with the help of the Heavenly Book, he also learned the Qi Family Swordsmanship. But being able to master it is not the same thing.
He needs to practice, and the female water ghost's repeated attacks are just a good tool for him to practice his sword.
After breaking through the third-level red fire, Liu Hou seemed to be able to face the female water ghost with fourth-level red fire strength with ease.
Qi Ling's evil spirit was a good thing, suppressing the Dao fire in his body extremely solidly. Liu Hou initially estimated that his Dao power was at least twice that of ordinary third-level red fire.
This also makes it possible to challenge ghosts and monsters at a higher level.
The eight-sided wooden sword flew, and Liu Hou became more and more courageous as he fought. Seeing that the situation was not good, the female water ghost scratched the mirror behind him with her claws.
The mirror shattered.
Countless mirror fragments flew up and surrounded Liu Hou.
Every fragment is a mirror.
Countless black hair sprang out from the countless mirror fragments and stabbed Liu Hou.
Liu Hou swung the eight-sided wooden sword very fast, piercing the black hair one by one.
But I was laughing in my heart, this female ghost was seeking her own death.
"Shu Ling, where will the female water ghost's head come out?"
Liu Hou asked.
"On the right hand side, thirty centimeters downward."
Shu Ling answered quickly.
Liu Hou was also very fast. He was holding the peach wood sword, and the tip of the sword was waiting at the position mentioned by Shu Ling.
Sure enough, the next second the female water ghost's head emerged from the mirror fragments. As soon as her head emerged, her throat hit the mahogany sword.
The wooden sword pierced the female ghost's throat. The female water ghost was extremely shocked. A black air floated out from her throat and collapsed inch by inch.
The ghostly aura all over the body of the female water ghost disappeared as this black aura drifted away, and she finally turned into a delicate beauty wearing the costumes of the Republic of China.
Around the age of eighteen or nineteen, it is the time when a girl is most beautiful.
He won.
"Thank you."
Liu Hou held his sword, clasped his fists, and suddenly thanked him sincerely.
The female water ghost smiled slightly: "Sir, when did you find out?"
"I knew it on the first day."
Liu Hou glanced at the master. Ni Yuefei was lighting an inconspicuous incense stick in her hand. The white smoke was rising and the light fragrance lingered in the room.
"The soul-awakening incense in the master's hand was lit from the first day. You also became sober from that time."
Ni Yuefei didn't say anything, but her face was vaguely moved. As a disciple of hers, she even knew the scent of awakening souls, and those books were indeed not in vain.
On the first day of the seven-day life and death spell, the master lit the soul-awakening incense and awakened the female water ghost. Although Liu Hou could not understand the ghost language, the heavenly book did.
Through the Book of Heaven, Liu Hou had long known the agreement between his master and the female water ghost.
The female water ghost knew that Liu Hou was kind enough to save her son from eternal calamity, so she wanted to repay her kindness.
The master just wanted to use the female water ghost to train his apprentice.
One person and one ghost have the same purpose, and they put on a show.
I thought I could keep Liu Hou in the dark, but I didn't know he knew about it early on.
Who says ghosts are heartless?
Ghosts also have feelings and righteousness, and they know how to repay kindness.
The resentment was broken, and the female water ghost regained its original sanity. But it had a lot of blood in it, and it obviously caused a lot of harm to people.
Killing for life, whether human or ghost, needs to pay a price.
This is the way of heaven, and it is also the bounden duty of a Taoist priest.
He needed to send it away, and the female ghost obviously knew this.
"If you still have any unfulfilled wishes, I can help you."
Liu Hou touched the peach wood sword.
He knew in his heart that his breakthrough to the third level red fire was indeed due to the female water ghost.
"I want to go to the school's lotus pond again, but it's a pity..."
The female water ghost glanced down. It was bound in the mirror, and only the upper body could come out. It was impossible to leave the world of the mirror and go to the lotus pond where it lingered for the last time.
It tried for many years and couldn't do it.
"It doesn't matter, I'll help you."
Liu Hou nodded and took out a bronze soul-catching bell from his pocket.
This soul-catching bell is a street vendor, not a magical weapon, but it is indeed made of bronze. As long as it is made of bronze, it will be fine.
The soul-catching bell rang, and the crisp sound resounded throughout the girls' dormitory.
"come in!"
Liu Hou bit out the blood from his fingertip and touched it on the forehead of the female water ghost.
A drop of blood, like a cinnabar mole, bloomed with dazzling light. The female ghost's soul turned into a puff of blue smoke and immediately floated into the soul-catching bell.
Liu Hou then took out a talisman and stuck it on the Soul-Calling Bell.
"Master, I'll give it a ride."
"Go ahead."
Ni Yuefei nodded, his good disciple could always do something beyond her expectations.
After Liu Hou's back completely disappeared, the cold girl snorted coldly and said calmly: "After hiding for so long, it's time to get out!"
A dark shadow slowly squeezed into the bedroom door and said sadly: "Little sister, when did you discover me?
It doesn’t matter, your eyes are beautiful, I want them!
Let me dig it out!"
After saying that, many bloody mouths appeared densely on the black shadow's body. No, where were the bloody mouths? They were clearly bloodshot, red eyes.
Liu Hou held the soul-catching bell in his hand and came to the school's lotus pond. He opened the spell and a puff of green smoke floated out again.
The female water ghost stood beside him, looking at the moonlight over the lotus pond without blinking.
"changed."
The female water ghost sighed, grabbed the railing beside the lotus pond with both hands, and tightened it.
"Everything has changed."
I don’t know if it means the lotus pond has changed, or the world has changed.
In the lotus pond under the moonlight, the little lotuses are just showing their sharp corners. The lotus leaves are stretched out, and the lotus flowers are full, half in full bloom and half closed.
"It was also this time back then. I still remember the wind at that time was very cold. He put a piece of clothing on my shoulders and I leaned against him."
The female water ghost said again: "Sir, do you want to hear a story?"
Everyone, whether alive or dead, has a story. Some stories will be told or recorded in books and passed down forever.
