Chapter 0006: Home Visit

The thick strands of hair gathered together, resembling sharp iron spikes, effortlessly piercing through the water ghost's waist and abdomen. The hair extended towards the ceiling, akin to an old locust tree that had grown for several years yet withered away, directly suspending the water ghost in midair

In the month of February, all things emerge from the awakening of nature, as the sound of thunder is heard, hence it is called the Awakening of Insects

That eerie and sinister feeling vanished from the face of the water ghost

He bit his tongue, and a metallic taste of blood spread out, accompanied by a hint of warmth. His right hand tightly gripped the Hu Tiger waist token, trying to dispel the unsettling feeling within him. The burning pain radiating from the palm of his hand, where the waist token lay, finally brought his senses back to reality

A sharp sound was heard

Even ghosts fear wicked people. At this moment, Wei Yuan, a mere mortal, glared at the female ghost, yet his imposing presence did not wane in the slightest.

Soon, the struggling movements of the water ghost began to slow down, the whites of its eyes gradually turning black, and a chilling aura, similar to that of the female ghost, emerged from its body

The fingertips gradually turned black

They had just not seen the final part, only regarding it as Wei Yuan driving out the malevolent spirit, treating him as the kind of Taoist priest from movies who truly possesses skills. Thus, they showed even greater respect and reverence, especially the water ghost who had almost been transformed into a malevolent spirit, who expressed endless gratitude.

A long breath is slowly exhaled

On the white paper, a series of clerical script characters emerge

Wei Yuan closed his eyes and suddenly felt that the Huyao waist token was still trembling, radiating intense heat

Wei Yuan's eyelids slowly drooped, and he fell into a deep sleep, during which his body was gradually strengthened

The jet-black long hair suddenly retracted

The sounds outside the door seemed to be muffled as if separated by several layers of soundproof glass, becoming increasingly indistinct

Wei Yuan's complexion suddenly changed

If left unchecked, there will be two vengeful spirits in this room. Wei Yuan looked at the water ghost, estimated the distance, gritted his teeth, crouched down, and suddenly dashed forward. As he passed by the coffee table, he swiftly reached out and pulled out the submerged broken sword from the basin.

A profound fatigue emerges

Buzz

The remaining two ghostly hands were in a flurry as they dragged the water ghost away, while the paper figure intended to rush over to lend a hand, but was caught by the weapon-wielding ghost and stuffed into its own wound, preventing it from causing further trouble

The lightning and thunder faded away after several seconds. Wei Yuan saw that there was no longer any trace of the female ghost ahead. The floor in front was damp, with several footprints that disappeared only at the door. Wei Yuan gritted his teeth, feeling somewhat stiff, and turned on all the lights. He still held the waist token and the broken sword in his hands, slowly leaning against the wall as he sat down.

A strand of long hair fell directly to the ground

It felt like cutting soft rubber with a dull knife, but at least one could feel that something was being cut. The left hand's waist token was constantly waving, fiercely protecting itself, pushing away the black hair that sought to pull Wei Yuan apart or pierce through. Finally, gritting his teeth, he directly turned his hand and pressed the waist token against the black hair that he had managed to cut a small opening in.

The water ghost struggled continuously in the air, its face becoming increasingly swollen

The remaining spirits have yet to grasp the situation

Water also began to drip down from its body

A few ghosts were dispatched, and those two paper figures went to stay in the museum

Wei Yuan's eyes were fixed intently on the pair of red embroidered shoes

The waist plaque of the crouching tiger trembles, surrounded by waves of tiger roars

The female ghost lifted her head, her pair of pure black hollow eyes staring at Wei Yuan, sending chills down one's spine

The museum accommodation is not large, just a few steps away

Wei Yuan examined its injuries

After the gathering of the spirits, Wei Yuan initially had the intention to inquire about their respective origins. However, having just faced off against the malevolent spirit, he no longer felt the same way. Previously, he had not noticed it, but now he felt utterly exhausted, with no desire to move or think about anything at all

As Wei Yuan approached, the female ghost stood quietly with her head bowed, but a strand of hair suddenly elongated, coiling towards Wei Yuan like a python. Wei Yuan swiftly drew out the Huohu waist token and struck the burning, stinging token directly against that strand of hair.

A few ghosts that had just escaped reappeared in front of Wei Yuan

Wei Yuan even felt that his hands and feet were gradually losing warmth, becoming numb

Without anyone saying it, Wei Yuan can also guess that the originally harmless water ghost is now becoming a fierce ghost

Red embroidered shoes

Tick, tick

As the broken sword was grasped, Wei Yuan felt a shiver run down his spine

The Inspector of the Imperial Guard repelled the malevolent spirits, preventing the wandering souls from becoming vengeful ghosts, thus earning one merit

Slightly taken aback, he gathered his spirits, took a piece of white paper, sat on the bed, and pressed the Wohu waist token onto the paper

Wei Yuan fixed his gaze on the quiet female ghost who had her head lowered

After a few seconds, the rumbling sound of thunder was heard.

The water ghost in this museum seems to have no understanding of the atmosphere at all

Wei Yuan seized the opportunity to swiftly approach, his broken sword violently tearing at the strand of long hair that was caught by the water ghost

He regarded Wei Yuan as a traditional Taoist from old Hong Kong films who captures demons and ghosts, mistakenly believing that this female ghost was caught by him. Being a water ghost himself, he approached to greet her, reaching out to pat her arm and cheerfully said

The water ghost that was hanging fell to the ground with a thud, flopping around like a dead fish for a moment

At the same time, there was an inexplicable sense of anger within me

The words scattered again, yet the cold and gloomy atmosphere in the room had been completely swept away, as if it had been absorbed and drawn in by the hidden tiger waist token. One force was transmitted in reverse to Wei Yuan, causing him to feel a sharp pain, but soon that fatigue and the mental shock and anger were gradually soothed.

Wei Yuancai shouted, and the female ghost's long hair, still dripping with water, began to grow violently.

Although Mingming had already been pierced by the hair of that female ghost, it has now healed. The largest part of the wound is blocked by a clump of fishing net, with wisps of sinister energy entwined around it, barely filling the gap. Now, he is lively and energetic.

It felt as if I were holding a large piece of ice in my hand, yet I gritted my teeth and held on tightly, charging forward.

Where have you been, big sister?

The sky erupted with a brilliant light

Wei Yuan seemed to be deep in thought

He had some premonition about the matter of them coming to his door, but when they actually did come, he was still a bit flustered

Wei Yuan stared fiercely at him in anger

It feels as if one has been immersed in ice water

Suddenly

Indeed, while the captain can eliminate bandits and slay demons, there is no stipulation that bandits and demons cannot be killed by the captain tasked with slaying demons

meritorious service

The female ghost, wearing red embroidered shoes with three-inch golden lotuses, lowered her head, her black hair cascading down her back. Her face was pale, devoid of any color, and her eyes were entirely black. She did not speak or scream as she approached, yet she instilled a sense of trembling in the heart and a tingling sensation on the scalp

One of the essential skills required to be appointed as the Chief of the Sili is to master the legal methods

Come back

The ghost has come to the door

Wei Yuan, dressed in coarse fabric, held a waist token in one hand and a dagger in the other, crossing them to protect his heart. He crouched low, staring intently at the female ghost wearing red embroidered shoes.
