Chapter 0008: Supernatural Powers

If you are looking for a place, you can search online, but the speed will certainly be slow

Wei Yuan felt as if he were on a battlefield, with fierce enemies looming ahead. He suddenly took a step back, adopting a half-crouched stance, his back tense like a tightly drawn strong bow.

Climbing the mountain, the stone cracks, wearing a seal. Adorned with a splendid canopy, stepping lightly on the auspicious path

However, it is merely the superficial martial skills of the military, requiring the formation of a mandarin duck array, and cannot be compared to those of the generals

... ...

It is a sense of familiarity

Wei Yuan felt that the spirit of the Qi family army had taken residence in his right hand, under his control

It won't do, it won't do. If you come out, you must catch something, how can you leave empty-handed? Just tell me about your situation.

In regard to the mastery of cold weapon combat, as well as a portion of hot weapons, it is not a skill that needs to be recalled, but rather an instinct that is directly integrated into the body; it is experience, gained through honing and surviving in the most brutal battlefields of a bygone era

He attempts to become familiar with such a feeling

It's fine, as long as you can do it

After some thought, I walked over to the nearby cabinet and began to rummage through it

Suddenly, he seemed to see a battlefield strewn with corpses

When this simple and unadorned sword move came to an end, the blade forged from patterned steel was still trembling

Since you were so tired, why didn't you go home earlier at that time

The voice paused for a moment, then quickly added while referring to the book:

The water ghost was dumbfounded: "Call the police to catch ghosts? Is that even possible?"

A group of wandering souls stood on tiptoe, pressed against the wall, not daring to move at all

At this time

Yes

Wei Yuan drew his sword, standing in the living room, gripping the hilt.

Although they have become spirits, they are not malevolent ghosts. The influence from their past lives still lingers. In fact, most spirits lack rationality and tend to follow the patterns established by their habits during their lifetimes. However, these rational wandering souls still retain the habit of sleeping and resting, especially after experiencing a significant fright today.

He also imitated the ancient practice of the Qijia Army, performing a fist salute and saying

The man in ancient attire, who was the last shadowy figure, was dozing off. Upon seeing Wei Yuan's inquiry directed at him, he instinctively straightened his back slightly and then cautiously said: "... ... I can't quite remember my name, but I do recall serving under General Qi and having slain a few Japanese pirates. Somehow, I fell asleep and woke up to the present."

A few sleeping ghosts were directly awakened by Wei Yuan smashing the door

The room was terrifyingly silent, with only the low, somber sound of a sword's whistle slowly permeating the air

Although they cannot be compared to the soldiers who survived the battlefield, they are not something that ordinary enthusiasts can match

The first one is that bloated water ghost. After he finished answering, Wei Yuan looked at the water ghost and asked in slight surprise:

So, what did you catch in the end

This place was once haunted, no, there are indeed supernatural entities. Previously, three individuals who managed the museum purchased a Longquan sword online to ward off evil spirits and protect the home. Although it has been proven that it was of no use, the sword still remains here, as this place is filled with malevolent energy. They did not dare to take the sword with them when they left.

Wei Yuan found a box to store the red embroidered shoes and a lock of black hair that he had cut off earlier, and said:

You and I should report the case

A pitch-black car came to a stop in front of the Spring City Police Station

With these in hand, we should be able to try persuading them to help find a place

He recalled the siheyuan he saw in his dream, as well as the antique and exquisitely real wooden building. There was an instinctive feeling that this wooden building probably truly existed. According to various strange tales, such places must be effective in capturing female ghosts.

Wei Yuan nodded and pointed to the red embroidered shoes, saying

I caught a corpse, my own. I peeled back the face and was startled to realize that I had become a ghost, caught by the rotten fishing net beneath the water, unable to swim back up

Wei Yuan had never come into contact with weapons, yet now a natural evaluation of the sword emerged in his mind

A piercing sound that cuts through the air

Wei Yuan exhaled, clearing his mind, gripping the sword, and attempting to follow that instinct and experience in swordsmanship. He executed slashes, thrusts, upward arcs, provoked defenses, and retreated to evade. It was a straightforward battlefield sword technique, devoid of any embellishments. Initially, the speed was slow, and there was a hint of awkwardness in his movements, but gradually he became more adept, and his speed began to increase.

Wei Yuan was somewhat surprised

What a pity

The muscles throughout his body erupted with strength in an instant, and the eight-sided Han sword in his hand thrust forward violently

If I am not mistaken, the red embroidered shoes that belonged to the victim from earlier are no longer present

The second elder sister was a painter who went out to gather inspiration; she unfortunately ingested pesticide and passed away, and could not be saved.

A familiar feeling emerges

That has been an old ghost for several hundred years, yet it has not transformed into a ghost king like in the stories

I am flattered, but I do not deserve such praise

Left supports the six generals, right guards the six spirits, which deity does not submit, which ghost dares to stand against, command!

... ...

The water ghost beside observed Wei Yuan's somewhat dry and clumsy swordsmanship, displaying a strange expression, and began whispering with another wandering spirit, offering their critiques and comments.

Qijia Army

They did not know why, but after just a short while of not seeing him, they felt that the enigmatic person before them exuded an aura that instilled a sense of fear and oppression, making it somewhat difficult to resist his words, and they could only obediently remain there.

Wei Yuan closed his eyes and, after a long while, exhaled a breath of turbid air. He then made a gesture, and a talisman appeared in the void, which subsequently shattered, dispelling the ghost-repelling spell. The ghost of the sword and weapon appeared beside him, looking somewhat dazed. Wei Yuan sheathed his sword, and he couldn't help but feel, whether it was an illusion or not, that even after the dispelling of the "ghost-repelling" spell, a part of the familiar sensation still lingered with the sword.

Wei Yuan felt a part of an indescribable power slipping away, and during the existence of the talisman, this power continued to dissipate. Not daring to delay, he flicked his wrist and placed the talisman on the forehead of the weapon spirit, which was stunned into inaction, murmuring softly.

Close your eyes and contemplate

So, you are saying that you were night fishing alone, accidentally dozed off, and then fell into the water

It is good steel

In addition, there is another method

The two paper figures were acquired from the descendants of a deceased master craftsman. They have been around for some years and possess no particular skills; at most, due to their nature as paper, they can slip through cracks in doors to eavesdrop.

Wei Yuan did not care; he simply sought to familiarize himself with that kind of experience

The exorcism powers have already taken effect

At this moment, everyone is sitting in front of Wei Yuan, still half-asleep.

However, the brutal and bloody aura unique to the battlefield of cold weapons still struck, causing the pupils of Wei Yuanyuan to contract and his mind to momentarily become disoriented

but allowed the swordsmanship experience gained from "Exorcising Ghosts" to erupt

It is an eight-sided Han sword

Wei Yuan's five fingers slightly spread apart, and then, before those few ghostly entities, a radiant light appeared in his right hand, revealing a translucent talisman in the palm of his hand

The blade is entwined with the first type of usage of "Exorcism," the power to expel malevolent spirits is overflowing

This matter has come to our doorstep, and it must be addressed

After some thought, I asked: "So, do you know swordsmanship?"

Wei Yuan casually used a willow leaf to dab water and opened his eyes

The remnants of the Qijia army were momentarily dazed, sensing something, and said: "My lord is going to ... ... "

At the same time, an indescribable feeling emerged in my heart

At present, fishing and painting cannot exorcise demons or eliminate evil.

Then, he pulled over a stool and sat in front of the group of ghosts, inquiring about the causes of their deaths and the skills they excelled in

It is a perspective of looking down from a height, which is the most memorable experience of the remnants of the Qijia Army.

Wei Yuan placed the waist token in his pocket, finally having an object that could utilize the ability to drive away evil spirits

The illusion vanishes in an instant

The man replied honestly: "Well, I can handle a broad sword, a katana, a gun, and a bird gun."

There is a matter that requires your cooperation, thank you for your assistance

but it is not a good sword

The entire room has become much warmer
