Chapter 10
Lian Xi and Su Jiao followed Liu Lang all the way to the industrial park hospital.
Hospital, cemetery, crematorium.
This was the place with the most yin energy on earth.
But it shouldn’t be heavy like this!
Before even getting close to this hospital, Lian Xi felt a cold chill. He frowned slightly and turned his head to Su Jiao, ‘The Yin energy of this hospital seems to be extraordinarily heavy.’
Su Jiao expression graved,, “An evil spirit is haunting it?”
The two originally thought that Liu Lang’s soul had gone out of the body and was simply injured and accidentally lost a spirit. Now it seems that the situation is not simple at all.
Su Jiao: “This person’s physical body should be in this hospital, close enough to cast a spell to return the soul to its place.” After a pause, he asked, “Lian Xi, are you going to do it or should I?”
Real passerby, Fake dark cultivator Lian Xi was very humble: ‘Please.’
Su Jiao laughed ‘ha ha’ and rubbed his head, “Then I’ll not be polite then.”
In the dimly lit corner of the hospital garden, the cool wind was chilly and the trees moved with the wind.
A wisp of a false, scattered and insubstantial soul stood in the darkness, its gaze confused, only raising its head obsessively, looking at the hospital building.
Lian Xi was very curious about what method Su Jiao would use to send Liu Lang’s soul back.
Previously, Su Jiao had been misunderstanding Lian Xi, thinking that he was also a ‘fellow kindred spirit’, a metaphysical practitioner. But only Lian Xi himself knew.
He was not all of that.
Lian Xi had a pair of yin and yang eyes since he was a child.
When he was young, he couldn’t tell the difference between ghosts and people, and always took the ghosts as people. He would say ‘Auntie, you’re going to bump into Uncle’ and ask the little girl in the white dress who hid in the corner and cried why she was so sad, so everyone around him treated him as a freak. Only his father and grandfather never blamed him.
His father even told him, “You are a very different child.”
Soon, however, he lost his father and then his grandfather.
Lian Xi lowered his head and looked at the bronze bell on his wrist.
The only thing that had always accompanied him was this bell.
Father said that this bell was a gift from an old nurse when he was born, a mute bell that would not ring. At first, he only carried it on his hand as a trinket, but once, when Lian Xi met an evil spirit who wanted to find a scapegoat, he was at the end of his tether, the bell suddenly gave out a crunching sound, and the evil spirit was knocked out of his body.
It was only at this time that Lian Xi realized the bell’s wonderful function, and since then, he gradually became familiar with the bell, but he still didn’t know how to use it.
However, this is not important.
The important thing is…..
Don’t panic when things happen, shake the bell!
Although Lian Xi didn’t know what the bell was used for, it could definitely save his life!
Just like this time, even Su Jiao couldn’t do anything about the Liu Lang ghost, Lian Xi kept trying and directly shook the bell, and it worked.
The baby bell was quite powerful, and it instantly made Liu Lang’s spirit conscious and found the body on its own.
Of course, this time it had a positive effect, who knows if the next time the bell will be rung and directly scatter Liu Lang’s soul.
Lian Xi touched the bell and saw Su Jiao flip his hand and take out a pen from his pocket.
It was a slender brush with a white jade body and coiled dragons around the column.
The tip of the pen was a clump of white fine soft furs, the texture could not be seen, but a single hair was silky and smooth, flowing with the wind.
Su Jiao held the pen in his right hand, his gaze solemn. He dug around in his pocket, seemingly looking for something, but after searching for a while, he suddenly changed his face drastically and exclaimed in a low voice: “F*ck, I actually forgot to bring it!”
Lian Xi frowned, and was about to say, “Since I can’t, I’ll ring the bell’, but saw Su Jiao’s heart’s ruthlessness, greeth his teeth, raised his left thumb, and then … bit it down!
Shorty roommate was in pain and in tears, but did not want to waste this fresh blood, immediately with a brush dipped in the blood flowing from the fingertip. He waved the brush with a letter, and wrote two big words in the air, while reciting words under his breath: “Plays by the river in the original world and Vajra (thunderbolt or mythical weapon) is listed on both sides. Thousands of miles of souls arrive, rushing into the orifices!”
“The soul returns ….”
“The soul returns!”
A sinister wind rose from the ground and swept up the wandering soul.
The wandering’s soul slowly opened its mouth and babbled, seemingly still trying to struggle.
The short roommate’s gaze flinched, and his blood-stained palm slapped forward, slapping the two words in blood that he had written in the air towards Liu Lang. From the moment these two words stuck to Liu Lang, he instantly stopped struggling, obediently lowered his head, followed the wind all the way upwards, flew to a certain window of the hospital ward, and whooshed in.
After a few seconds, Su Jiao’s face showed joy, turning his head proudly, ‘How is it? It’s done. Bull’s eye right!’
Lian Xi didn’t say anything, silently looking behind him.
Su Jiao followed his line of sight, only to see two large blood-coloured characters floating back from the air, landing right on either side of Su Jiao’s head.
On the left side 从〔從〕cong (from, by, since, wence, through, follow)
A heart (心) on the right side.
Lian Xi: ‘……’ Good
Such a good follow your heart method (fundamental laws and principles)!
Su Jiao: “ …”
Su Jiao: ‘Cough cough cough!!!’
He hurriedly waved his hand to dispel these two words, then looked at Lian Xi in a serious manner, “Give me a chance to explain!”
Lian Xi gently nodded: “It’s fine, everything is from the heart, I understand.’
Su Jiao : “.…”
“This, I can really explain it ah ah ah ah!!!’
Lian Xi had no problem with following your heart method but Su Jiao refused to stop, the two of them walked towards the outside of the hospital while Su Jiao explained.
‘“Those two words just now, they don’t mean what you think they mean!”
“What did I think it meant?”
“Song ah!”
“Oh, that’s it (just like that).”
“.…”
Su Jiao: ‘I’m really not a song {怂} ah!!!’
怂: a pushover without backbone, a wimp, or someone good-for-nothing (timid)
Su Jiao was really a wimp.
Their sect had long resided in Qufu, Shandong Province, and was one of the few xuan cultivation sects in the whole of China that was exposed in the open. The cultivators of their school cultivated a ‘Word, book on earth’. Each cultivator must first cultivate a word that belongs to his or her own destiny, and after cultivating it, then use it as a starting point to start the ‘Word, Book on earth’, and write what he or she sees and hears in his or her life on the heart, and then he or she will really cultivate the great law.
However ….
Why is his native character (怂: terrified) ah!
Su Jiao explained to Lian Xi with extreme seriousness, Lian Xi had a calm face and didn’t seem to take it to heart at all, but in fact, he pricked up his ears.
Eat melon.
[(neologism c. 2016) (slang) to watch an entertaining spectacle from the sidelines and-or engage in gossip about it]
Ga ci Ga ci (Eating sound)
Very happy.
So there is such a cultivation method ah.
The two of them walked to the hospital car park, Lian Xi nodded: “I get it, you don’t need to explain.”
Su Jiao: “.…”
Su Jiao: “You are laughing at me.”
Lian Xi: “I’m not.”
“You’re laughing!”
“I’m not.”
“You’re still laughing!”
Lian Xi: “.…”
“Oh, then I’m laughing.’
Su Jiao: “….”
Listen, is this human language!!!!
The short roommate was grief-stricken, and Lian Xi quietly scowled down at him, the corner of his mouth hooking into a smile.
Having a roommate, it didn’t seem like such a bad thing.
In his heart, he was thinking whether. he should stop moving to a new home or not. Suddenly, Lian Xi stopped in his tracks, he turned around violently, and with a slight movement of his left hand, a clear bell sound echoed in the empty car park.
Buzz!
‘Ahh Ahh Ahh!’
A mournful scream pierced through the sky.
In the next moment, a red shadow roared angrily and rushed up, seeing death as it rushed towards Lian Xi.
“It’s you! It’s you who caused me not to kill him, it’s all you!”
Su Jiao was horrified, ‘Lian Xi!’ He wanted to reach out for a pen to write, but he was too slow and everything was simply too late, the evil spirit had already rushed to the two. The strong Yin Qi knocked the half-witted Su Jiao to one side, and Lian Xi was also knocked backward two steps.
Lian Xi immediately shook his left hand, but the evil spirit’s hands had already pinched his neck.
The thick Yin energy accompanied by a strong sense of suffocation made Lian Xi dizzy and lose his strength in an instant. His left hand trembled as he tried to shake the bell, but all of his body’s perceptions were focused on his neck, not to mention moving his hand, even opening his lips was exhausting!
Su Jiao climbed up from the ground, turned over his hand and took out a brush, biting open his fingers, ready to write.
A 怂 word only half written, suddenly, the brush shivering, refused to move.
Su Jiao: “.…”
Su Jiao was ashamed: “You damn, this time why you are so 怂!!!’
Are you not ashamed!
Seeing that the evil ghost was about to strangle Lian Xi to death, Su Jiao’s word 怂 was only half written.
The evil spirit’s eyes were red, with hair in disarray; no longer satisfied with strangling the enemy who injured him, but even opened its bloody mouth to bite him to death! In this flash of lightning, but see, Lian Xi’s wrist flashed a dim black light, the next second, the bronze bell broke free from the red thread and flew into the air!
There was no need to toggle it, it hung in mid-air and trembled gently.
Buzz!
The sound of the ancient and simple bell circled centred on the bronze bell, spreading out in all directions
“Ah ah ah ah!”
The female ghost was shaken to the point of screaming miserably, letting go of her hand and being sent flying several metres.
However, it wasn’t over yet!
The bronze bell was still hanging in the air, it rotated a few times, as if it had found an enemy, and while flying towards the female ghost, again and again ——
Hum!
‘Ahh Ahh Ahh Ahh!!!’
Several bloody marks instantly appeared on the female ghost’s body.
The sound of the bell turned into a sword, cutting off souls and breaking spirits;
All is quiet and still but this sound remained!
The bronze bell trembled once again, sending out a third ring.
Buzz!
“No, save me, no! I’m wrong ….”
The female ghost’s entire soul was beaten and directly dispersed, almost no entity left, looking at the Su Jiao on the side with a dumbfounded look and a wide open mouth.
Seeing that the bronze bell is about to vibrate a fourth time, there is no doubt that this fourth sound will vibrate down,
the female ghost will absolutely fly away and scatter. But at this critical juncture ….
A white and thin hand appeared abruptly and grabbed the bell floating in the air!
Lian Xi gasped loudly and held the bell. He spread out his palm and looked at the tiny bell.
The bell shook gently, making no sound, as if it was sulking.
Lian Xi touched it and tied it back in silence. He caught his breath and his voice was calm: “Okay fine, I know this ghost.’ Saying this, he raised his head and looked towards the female ghost that was lying on the ground trembling. His line of sight swept over the female ghost’s soul that was almost about to be extinguished and shouted out her name, ‘Right … Cat Hair Sauce.’
Relieved, Su Jiao ran over, “What, you know who this is? Cat Hair Sauce? What kind of name is this, it doesn’t sound like a person’s name.”
The female ghost lying on the ground slowly clenched her fingers, when she heard her name from Lian Xi’s mouth, she knew that her story was known to this beautiful youth in front of her.
She gritted her teeth, stood up, and began to tell her story, ‘Yes, I’m Cat Hair Sauce, that’s my online name.’
While speaking, she gave a miserable self-deprecating smile and lowered her head, “I didn’t expect that I would end up in this situation now. You know me, then you should also know my boyfriend, Hydrogen. My boyfriend, Hydrogen and I, were originally very much in love, but his agent made him abandon me! That damned agent even made Hydrogen…, when I was about to die ……‘
“Wait, wait.”
The female ghost abruptly froze and raised her head.
Su Jiao was also stunned and turned her head to look at Lian Xi who suddenly opened his mouth.
Only to see that Lian Xi’s handsome and upright face did not have a single rise or fall’s expression; his gaze was bland as he looked at this female ghost who began to tell a story while silently shedding tears. He just quietly watched and watched.
The dark and deep pupils of his eyes were like a deep, bottomless pool of water.
Lian Xi’s voice was very calm, and the words he said were cold to the extreme.
“Did …… I say that I want to hear these stories of yours?”
The female ghost shuddered, her lips opening and closing ; quivering.
Lian Xi looked at her indifferently, “Let’s not talk about whether you are really as miserable as you think, even if you are really miserable ….‘
“That’s not a reason for you to kill me!”
In the next moment, the bronze bell moved slightly, and Lian Xi quickly stepped forward, using his bell-wearing left hand to ruthlessly pinch the female ghost’s neck, and with a flick of his wrist, he press her down on the ground!
His gaze was cold and silent as he looked at this female ghost who had long been seriously injured by the bell.
The fingers, however, did not loosen, and kept pushing harder and harder!
Both eyes kept wide open, the moment of suffocation, dying, cat hair sauce, squeezed out a few words and asked that question: “Then why…. not, not at the beginning let that bell…. beat me to death …?”
Didn’t you want to hear my story?
Didn’t you sympathise with me?
Lian Xi looked at her and said word by word, “I just want to tell you that you are not innocent …… you deserve to die.”
As the words fell, his fingers exerted force, and the bronze bell trembled pleasantly on his wrist.
After that….
Boom!
The spirit flew away!
[Lit. Soul flies away and scatters, it also meant ‘be half dead with fright’ or scared out of one wits]
Author has something to say:
CC: I am such a good citizen who doesn’t know how to show pity and tender love for women, heartless and faithless exterminating ghosts!
