Chapter 63: The truth is not necessarily the truth
To ensure that the dean would not die, Lin Tian asked Li Chengdao to add a restriction, "First trap the dean here. Let's go to the dormitory building to look for the ghost to see if it is Qi Chuchu's ghost."
It was half dark at this time, and Lin Tian and others came to the dormitory building again.
This time, there was still no inexplicable text coming.
As usual, Lin Tian asked Yue Jingxian to go upstairs to check, and Li Chengdao followed readily.
Lin Tian and Ao Qingxue were investigating at the bottom of the building.
The cold waning moon hung in the night, and several children were playing downstairs in the dormitory.
From time to time, happy laughter like "ha ha ha" and "hee hee hee" was heard, and some children deliberately made strange noises to scare other children.
Suddenly, Li Chengdao flew down from the upper floor of the dormitory, "I heard a ghost screaming!!!"
"Senior Sister Jingxian is investigating, but no ghost has been found in the building."
Lin Tian groped his chin: "What kind of cry did you hear?"
Li Chengdao thought about it carefully: "It's a bit like the laughter of children, but it's more dark and cold."
Lin Tian glanced at the children who were playing, and quietly used spiritual power to block the transmission of their voices, "You go up and listen again."
Li Chengdao returned to the upper level of the dormitory, and then flew down again: "Brother Lin, the ghost noise has disappeared."
Lin Tian blocked the sound, then unlocked it, and tried back and forth several times.
After determining the source of the ghostly noise, he called Li Chengdao and Yue Jingxian down.
Isn't this what I experienced before traveling through time?
In my previous life, I lived in a twelve-story building. For a period of time at night, I often heard the sound of ghosts crying and howling, which was so eerie that I had to turn on the light to sleep every night.
I was afraid that one day after turning off the lights, a hand would reach out from under the bed.
Later, I finally discovered the culprits, several children.
Those children went home every night and played downstairs in their home, laughing from time to time.
There were even a few children who deliberately imitated the screams of ghosts. Under the distortion of the wind, and because they lived in high-rise buildings, it sounded like ghosts crying and howling, which was particularly scary.
So, I would stay there every night, and if the children imitated the sounds of ghosts, I would wear a piece of cloth and pretend to be ghosts to scare them.
Later, I slept peacefully...I don’t know what happened to the child.
Thinking too far, Lin Tian took his thoughts back and told everyone the reason for the ghost's scream.
The remaining people looked at each other.
"Perhaps, this means that good and evil are rewarded." Ao Qingxue sighed, "Originally, the inexplicable text wanted us to catch ghosts, but I didn't expect that the biggest ghost is in the human heart."
Lin Tian agreed: "They thought it was Qi Chuchu who was still lingering and wanted revenge. Maybe she had been reincarnated long ago."
"The truth is not necessarily the truth. Mo Miwen would not have thought that the truth he saw was not the truth, but just the words of the dean and his family."
"Let's go and hand the dean over to the authorities!"
Everyone nodded in agreement.
…
In Weiyuan Hall, the oil lamp flickered on and off, illuminating the distorted face of the dean.
Dean Ran Shuqun was tied up all over and was looking at the translucent ghost opposite in horror.
The ghost's hair is spread in front, and from the gaps in the hair, it can be vaguely seen that she was a beautiful woman before she was born.
"You, are you Qi Chuchu?"
Ran Shuqun tried desperately to break free, but to no avail.
Didn't the Master say at that time that her soul could be saved by building a high-rise building in the dormitory? What's going on? Why does she still appear!
Did that mage lie to me?
The ghost didn't say a word, but stretched out its hair and strangled Ran Shuqun's neck.
"Ho, ho..." Ran Shuqun was completely unable to shout for help, and finally his eyes turned white and he died.
But when Lin Tian and others were on their way to Weiyuan Hall, Yue Jingxian suddenly reminded: "There is a ghost!"
"Huh?" Lin Tian was a little surprised. Didn't he confirm that the ghost scream was coming from a child?
Are there any ghosts?
Ao Qingxue also discovered, "It's a kid from the Zhimortal Realm, right here..."
"Wei Yuan Tang!"
Everyone rushed over, only to find that the dean was dead.
There was a female ghost beside him who was absorbing his soul. Ao Qingxue directly bundled her spiritual power and tied up the female ghost.
"This female ghost is unconscious and seems to be controlled by someone!" Ao Qingxue said.
"Someone used evil magic to control her, allowing her to absorb the soul and feed it back to the person who controlled her."
"Can you find the person behind the scenes?" Lin Tian asked.
Yue Jingxian nodded, took out a book, tore off a page from it, and the paper turned into a paper crane, flew around the female ghost in a circle, and then flew out of the Yuanyuan Hall.
Yue Jingxian immediately followed the paper crane, and Lin Tian and others also hurriedly took the female ghost with them, following Yue Jingxian, and finally arrived at Yanhu Lake, where Qi Chuchu threw herself into the lake.
At this time, there was no one else by the lake, except the crazy Ran Ling.
The paper crane hovered above Ran Ling for a while, and finally flew back to Yue Jingxian's arms.
Yue Jingxian pointed at Ran Ling: "He is the one who controls the female ghost!"
"Ran Ling" turned to look at Lin Tian and others, "Who are you? I remember there are no monks here."
At this time, "Ran Ling"'s eyes were dull, and his originally black pupils turned completely white.
Lin Tian took a closer look at his realm, well... the mortal realm.
"We are righteous monks who love justice and peace." Lin Tian held Shuanghan tightly in his hands and said, "Who are you?"
"upright?"
"Haha, you claim to be just and peaceful?"
"Then your peace will end here."
"Ran Ling" lifted up a strand of hair that fell from his forehead, and said in a gloomy tone: "I'm just a casual cultivator, and I like to keep souls like you in captivity."
"Huh? Where's that Ran Ling?" Lin Tian asked.
"Are you talking about this soul?" The other party held a small human-like soul.
While "Ran Ling" was speaking, Ao Qingxue suddenly struck out with sword energy and stabbed "Ran Ling" with "Xueluo Wuhen".
"Ran Ling" raised his hand to block, easily neutralizing Ao Qingxue's sword technique.
"It's not right to attack someone secretly, especially if you don't wait for the person to finish speaking."
"Don't you want to know the story between this female ghost and the soul in my hand?"
Ao Qingxue reminded everyone in a low voice, "He is on the ninth level of the mortal world, so be careful when dealing with him."
Everyone nodded, Ao Qingxue and Yue Jingxian were on the third level of Tuofan, so it should be more than enough for the two of them to join forces to deal with the ninth level of Tuofan outside the five great immortal sects.
However, when Ao Qingxue used her sword skills and Yue Jingxian used her hammer skills to attack together, they were defeated one by one by "Ran Ling".
"Hey, you don't seem to be ordinary sect disciples?"
"Ran Ling" said in surprise: "General sect disciples, let alone those on the third level of Tuofan, even if two people on the ninth level of Tuofan join forces, they will be crushed by me with one finger."
"I didn't expect that today, I made two souls for fun on a whim, and actually attracted a big fish."
"Ran Ling" made an empty stroke with his left hand, and a thick black mist filled his hand.
"I'll give you a little gadget." "Ran Ling" waved the thick fog towards Lin Tian and others.
Ao Qingxue and Yue Jingxian quickly stood in front of Lin Tian and Li Chengdao. One of them waved his sword and waved countless blue snowflakes, while the other volleyed his pink hammer into the air and smashed down the thick fog under the command of both hands.
The thick fog sprayed out countless evil spirits, grinning, but most of them were blocked by the two of them.
The remaining small number of evil spirits attacked Lin Tian and Li Chengdao. Lin Tian unsheathed his sword and performed "Slash the Sky".
The black and white energy overflowed from Li Chengdao's eyebrows, annihilating the attacking evil spirits.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, with such a method, it seems that they are all monks from the top sects, I am even more excited!" "Ran Ping" suddenly stepped forward, and rushed towards Ao Qingxue with the claws of his right hand.
Ao Qingxue hurriedly waved her sword to resist, and Yue Jingxian also hurriedly took out a book page and cast a golden barrier to resist "Ran Ping's" attack.
Suddenly, "Ran Ping" changed his posture, bypassing Ao Qingxue and Yue Jingxian, and went straight to Lin Tian and Li Chengdao.
"Hey hey hey, you've been fooled. I'll clean up these two trash fish first, and then I can play with these two beauties."
However, as soon as "Ran Ping" finished speaking, he found himself inside a tornado.
He quickly condensed gray soul energy with his right hand and struck it on the tornado.
"Where is this?" he asked in surprise as he fought, "Why can't I get out?"
Lin Tian chuckled, "This is a forbidden magic weapon. Since you are in the mortal realm, you probably won't be able to get out."
