Chapter 6: Ghost Level
Initially, when Liu Chunyang imparted his lifelong skills to him, he imprinted these incantations in his mind. However, Meng Donghe still had only a vague understanding of how to apply them. Just a moment ago, he was contemplating demonstrating his abilities in front of Liu Xiangxiang, but now he faced an unfavorable start. Frustrated and agitated, Meng Donghe stood there for a long time before finally realizing that the incantation he had just recited was the Purifying Heart Spell, which is meant to expel the ghostly souls attached to a person. Since the ghost was in a wandering state, this spell was naturally ineffective.
How could I not? My mood is ruined by Liu Xiangxiang's interference after Meng Donghe just received two million: "If it weren't for you stopping me, I would have eliminated that ghost long ago"
There are thirty-six types of ghosts recorded in the scriptures of the righteous path, but in reality, there are many more. It is essential to discuss these, particularly the classification of ghosts. Ghosts are divided into six categories. The sixth category is the despondent ghost, which is gray in color and is a ghost that hastens to the womb; it is best ignored. The fifth category is the white-clad ghost, which is white and represents a newly deceased soul with no harmful intent. The fourth category is the yellow-page ghost, which is formed from individuals who died due to financial matters and is yellow in color
Liu Xiangxiang's dissatisfaction with Meng Donghe stemmed purely from her lifelong study of Taoist arts. She had always hoped that her father would break with tradition and pass on the He-Tu-Shu lineage to her. To her dismay, it ended up going to a stranger. However, the matter had already been settled, and she felt powerless to change anything. Meng Donghe was not wrong; if he were to lose face, it would be tantamount to losing her father's face as well. With this thought in mind, Liu Xiangxiang finally made up her mind: "Alright, I will go back and speak about it."
Liu Xiangxiang's face suddenly turned ashen: "This kind, even my father has suffered losses from him; the injuries on my body were caused by him"
Looking again at that red figure, who else could it be but Liu Xiangxiang? At this moment, her almond-shaped eyes were wide open, her brows tightly knitted, and she angrily walked towards Meng Donghe: "Can you use spells?"
Fool! Not all ghosts need to be eliminated; for instance, this one can simply be contained! It does not need to be destroyed!" Liu Xiangxiang took out a red silk pouch from her bosom, directed it towards the old ghost, and recited: "Please return, as urgently as the law commands!"
We are a branch of the Shangqing sect. From ancient times to the present, we are the only ones who continue to capture ghosts in the human realm. Our Liu family has had an agreement with the King of Hell, Yama, to manage the spirits that the underworld cannot handle. We bring back those spirits that can be pacified to the underworld, where they are dealt with accordingly. For this type of spirit management, there is no need for incantations; a red silk pouch from the underworld suffices. For those that cannot be pacified, we must take decisive action and eliminate them directly.
The old ghost seemed to be drawn by an unseen force, floating towards Liu Xiangxiang. As soon as it got close, it was sucked into the pouch without making a sound
The third category is shadowy figures, characterized by their black color and heavy resentment. They often suffered from severe illnesses in life or harbored deep-seated hatred. In theory, their malevolence can be dispelled, but some are extremely vicious and enjoy finding substitutes among people; such entities must not be allowed to remain. The second category consists of red vengeful spirits, which possess strong offensive capabilities and require careful vigilance. These spirits tend to target individuals experiencing emotional turmoil, while the first category is the most formidable...

Meng Donghe muttered incantations under his breath. After a while, he noticed that the old ghost was still lingering in the same spot, which puzzled him. Wasn't this the spell?
Meng Donghe could hardly contain his laughter, mumbling a vague "oh" as he passed by. Liu Xiangxiang noticed this and had a change of heart about him; at least this person would not kick someone when they were down. She had underestimated him and even humiliated him, yet he did not take it to heart, waiting for the right moment to retaliate
The Blue Ghost, whose essence is blue, is the most formidable among the sixth-tier ghosts. They can absorb a person's life force, leading to a shortened lifespan, and can also transform into humans to mingle among ordinary people. Their powers are profound, and if one is not cautious, they may fall victim to them. They are skilled at deceiving others, which is why my father was injured
As the palm reached the crucial point, Meng Donghe once again channeled his energy, reciting the incantation of the Summoning Deity of Yang Lei: "I bow to the Lord of the Summoning Deity of Yang Lei, dividing the five directions and the Earthly Spirits, driving the horse and the drum to respond, bringing down true energy into my body. Wherever the summoning takes place, there will be a response, and within a hundred miles, all sounds will be heard. Om, Zha, Mo, summon the great general Sun De, the Western commander Hong Jin, the central commander Ma Guang, the great deity of thunder, with the light of thunder and electricity, the sound of thunder and might, the swift wind rising, the tiger roaring in the Gen Palace, the thunder roaring, the rain pouring down. Now that my talisman has arrived, heaven and earth are purified, the great thunder drum, swiftly manifesting retribution, the five directions converging, beating the drum of abundance, the five directions responding, sweeping away filth and misfortune, yellow thunder and blue energy, charging east and north, white thunder and black energy, exterminating evil traces, black thunder and yellow energy, moving according to the nine palaces, red thunder and white energy, ascending to the upper heavens, the Lord of Thunder in the heavenly realm, the fierce shaking wind, blue thunder and red energy, the thunderbolt talisman together, urgently and swiftly as the law commands!"
Meng Donghe stared in astonishment: "Is it really that simple?"
Liu Xiangxiang nodded in approval: "That's right. These three types of ghosts can be sent back to the underworld with the talisman." Liu Xiangxiang hesitated slightly: "In the future, I will take you to meet Yama in the underworld, but for now, you need to become proficient in using your cultivation."
A silver light struck out, heading straight towards the old ghost, but suddenly a red figure flashed into view, blocking the silver light. With both palms thrust forward, the silver light was deflected back, hitting Meng Donghe, who was startled and retreated three steps. However, he noticed that the silver light had vanished into his body, and he felt no unusual sensations.
Meng Donghe scratched his head: "Senior Sister, please teach me, I beg you. I have all these skills but don't know how to use them. If I mess up, it will be embarrassing for Uncle Liu. You are my senior sister, and you can't just watch me make a fool of myself, can you?"
Just like that
But why should we capture ghosts for the underworld? What is the agreement?
What are the other three types of ghosts
Meng Donghe could not help but be astonished: "What exactly is it?"
"I don't know; I only know that it was an agreement made by one of our seniors with Yama." Liu Xiangxiang was not good at lying, her face flushed red, and she finally told the truth: "Actually, it was a bet that I lost, and I was set up by Yama."
Liu Xiangxiang returned home, first took a shower, and changed into a conservative nightgown. Her long hair, cascading like a waterfall, was still slightly damp, casually draped behind her, enhancing her stunning beauty and giving her an ethereal quality. However, the nightgown was indeed excessively conservative, revealing only her calves and the smooth, rounded arms. It would be a lie to say that Meng Donghe felt no impulse; during Chen Wan's time, there wasn't a single night when they weren't passionately entwined. Moreover, at this midnight hour, the woman before him resembled a modern-day Little Dragon Girl, further igniting a man's possessive desire.
Meng Donghe swallowed hard, suppressing the desire within him: "Senior Sister, can we begin now?"
At the mention of her deceased father, two crystal-clear tears fell from Liu Xiangxiang's beautiful eyes, her full cherry lips tightly pressed together, making her appear even more like a sacred maiden from the heavens, untouchable and revered. Yet, Meng Donghe's hands could not be restrained, reaching out to caress Liu Xiangxiang's translucent, delicate skin.
Oh, the old ghost we just received is yellow, so he must be the Yellow Pages ghost. He must have died for money, right? Meng Donghe immediately learned and applied this.
