C17 Ear bending

My steps were slow and firm as I approached the old elm tree.

I know that the Aunt Tao will not use her words to help me, she will not help me before I kill all the ghosts under the old elm tree. I don't want to die so quickly, I have to kill all the ghosts underneath the old elm tree with my own hands.

I told myself that it was either a ghost dying or me dying.

Only, as I approached the old elm with my peach dagger in my hand, the ghosts under the old elm quickly quieted down and gave me helpless looks, and I could not feel no sympathy for them.

A human can become a ghost after death, and a ghost can completely disappear from this world after death.

These ghosts who died in the Japanese army's Slaughterer Village have now become the victims of my ability to promote the Ghost Path.

"Elder sister, my mother always says that my ears are beautiful. I'll give them to you, so don't kill us, okay?" Before I could reach the old elm tree, a little boy about seven or eight years old suddenly tore off his ears.

The little ghost raised his dirty face and looked at me timidly. Both of his hands held his ears, and blood and ghost qi gushed out from his wounds.

His small body trembled like a sieve, struggling to resist the pain of having his ear broken.

My heart jolted and I immediately stopped. Looking at the little ghost, my eyes dimmed.

Aunt Tao has already told me before, even though the virtual body ghost is a virtual body, whether it is crippled or not, the wounds on its virtual body are unable to be healed.

Moreover, when it mutilates itself or is maimed by someone, it suffers far more than it suffers when it suffers the same injury.

There was a female ghost kneeling beside the little ghost, screaming miserably as she tore off her own ears, hugging the little ghost as she cried sorrowfully.

The other ghosts under the old elm tree had mournful looks on their faces. One after another, they imitated the ghosts and female spirits as they screamed and tore off their own ears.

"Big sister, we only kept it here because we didn't want to separate from our families. We didn't harm anyone." The little ghost held his ears and spoke again. His voice was thick with tears.

I just stood there, unable to move, hoping to hear Aunt Tao's orders for me to stop here.

People are good and evil, ghosts are good and evil.

Although I don't know if the ghosts under the old elm are all good ghosts, I don't want to use the ghosts under the old elm anymore to enhance my skills.

"What are you waiting for?! Waiting to die under the ear breaking array?! " Amidst the screams, the Aunt Tao's cold voice came out.

Aunt Tao's words made me quiver. Even though I didn't understand what the ear breaking array was, I still grabbed my peach wood dagger and rushed towards the old elm tree.

Keeping myself in the sun, I moved around the old elm, taking advantage of the moment to strike out at the ghosts at the edge of the old elm shelter.

After I began to attack, the little ghost hovered over the ghosts, changing its direction as I moved. It tightly pursed its lips and silently cried as it held his ears towards me.

I could feel my own ugliness in the boy's eyes, and I moved faster, my eyes sore, trying to avoid the boy's gaze.

After attacking for a while, I noticed that none of the ghosts under the old elm tree rose higher than the imp. They just tiptoed as far as they could into the shade of the tree.

When low level ghosts' ghost power attacks meet the sunlight, they automatically dissipate. I'm not surprised that the ghosts didn't hit me back, I'm curious why their bodies didn't rise into the air.

As long as they were in the air, my attack would definitely miss.

After having these questions in my mind, my footsteps speed and the speed at which I move my hands increased by a few points.

Before I could completely exterminate the ghosts at the edges of the tree shade, Aunt Tao had already walked over to my side and pushed me into the tree shade.

As I entered the shade of the tree, all the ghosts except for the little ones attacked me with their ghost power s. After being struck so hard, I immediately vomited a mouthful of blood, and my body bounced off the tree.

After Aunt Tao caught me outside the tree, he immediately pushed me back into the tree shade once more.

The ghosts under the tree probably did not expect that Aunt Tao would push me into the shade again. They were stunned for a short moment.

I restrained my body from feeling unwell, and didn't have time to investigate the reason for Aunt Tao's actions. I seized the opportunity to rush into the group of ghosts and frequently attacked the ghosts beside me.

The ghosts were stunned for a moment before they dodged my peach wood dagger and started attacking me again with their ghost power s.

Although I was attacked by ghost power again, as I was within the ghost group, I couldn't avoid it. The ghost attacked my ghost power and most of them accidentally injured the other ghosts.

As the ghosts fell into chaos, I took the opportunity to kill the ghosts around me.

Following the strange cry of the ghosts, the scattered ghosts instantly stopped their ghost power attacks. They no longer dodged my peach wood daggers and rushed towards me.

Terrified, I stretched out my peach wooden dagger and continuously spun around, hoping to drive away the ghosts that were rushing towards me.

Although I tried to spin faster, my speed could not match the speed of the ghosts.

After a while, ghosts were lying on my back, ghosts were riding on my neck, ghosts were hugging my legs, and ghosts were holding my arms.

I fell on my back and was quickly dragged toward the trunk of the old elm.

As I panicked, more ghosts began to attack the wrist of the hand that was holding the mahogany dagger with their ghost power, trying to make me throw it away.

The peach wood dagger is the only thing that Zuo Mu left me, and also the only weapon I can use to protect my life.

Seeing through the ghost's intentions, I gripped the mahogany dagger in my hand and swung it with all my might towards the ghost that was holding my arm.

When the ghost let go of my arms with a scream, I thrust the dagger back into the heart of the ghost sitting on my neck.

Ignoring the ghost on my back, I brandished my dagger at the ghost that was tugging at my legs.

Just as my feet were about to touch the tree trunk, I jumped up from the ground and charged into the crowd of ghosts once again.

After I was once again pushed into the shade by Aunt Tao, Aunt Tao had been standing quietly in the sunlight. Her eyes carried an unfathomable emotion as she looked at me, and she didn't show any signs of helping me.

Once again charging into the ghost horde, my attacks were faster and more precise than they ever were before.

The ghost horde once again fell into chaos. Even though the ghosts in the sky let out a weird cry, the ghost horde was still dispersed by my rampaging attacks.

Every time I overworked myself, I would rush out of the shade and stay in the sun to recover my strength before I entered the shade again.

As I killed the ghosts, the strange cries of the ghosts hanging over them grew louder and louder. When I killed the last one, the ghost fell to the ground.

In the little ghost's hands, he was still holding his ears.

I rush at the kid, who stares at me hatefully and throws his ears at me.

The ears fold together in a split-second and suddenly grow larger as they press against me, and as I step back, I thrust my dagger into them.

My ears burst open and blood splashed all over my face. I looked at the little ghost again and saw that he had disappeared.

I turned my head to look at Aunt Tao, who was still quietly watching me from her spot.

Glancing at the Aunt Tao, I immediately retracted my gaze and walked towards the trunk of the old elm tree.

Aunt Tao's reaction showed that the little ghost was not far away. The old elm tree's trunk was abnormally cold and corrosive, so the little ghost could only hide inside it if it wanted to hide.

As I pressed the mahogany dagger against the trunk of the tree, the boy's body came out of the tree, and I threw the mahogany dagger at him.

The kid fell to the ground, and I hurried to his side, holding my mahogany dagger and splitting him in half.

After the little ghost was scared out of its wits, I collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.

It has been more than six hours since I first attacked the ghost.

At this moment, in the absence of wind, the branches of the old elm suddenly began to sway.

I hurriedly got up from the ground. Aunt Tao, who had been standing quietly under the sunlight, finally moved.

Aunt Tao waved her hand and threw a yellow talisman onto the tree trunk. As the yellow talisman stuck onto the tree trunk, the old elm tree became motionless once again.

I did not dare linger under the old elm tree, and immediately crawled to Aunt Tao's side.

Aunt Tao took out a wet towel for me to wipe off the blood on my exposed skin, then told me to change into the clothes that I brought along with me.

At this moment, the ghost village on the left and right at the boundary of the ghost realm were nowhere to be seen, neither were they to be seen, so I changed my clothes with my back facing Aunt Tao.

When I was changing my clothes, Aunt Tao once again reminded me, I cannot let anyone easily see the wooden signboard on my neck.

After I changed my clothes, Aunt Tao helped me to roll up my long hair that was covered in blood. Then, she took out a hat and placed it on my head.

As a result, apart from the smell of blood on my body, I didn't look miserable at all.

I praised Aunt Tao for considering everything thoroughly. Aunt Tao said that she was only preparing well before bringing me back to the Aunt House.

On the way back to the Aunt House, Aunt Tao told me that the disciples of the Pure Lady Sect must wear wooden plates for their entire lives. In order to prevent the wooden plates from being seen by outsiders, the disciples of the Pure Lady Sect must not wear revealing clothes, and must not bathe and change their clothes in front of outsiders.

Clothes that expose the chest and back belong to revealing clothing.

Hearing Aunt Tao's words, I nodded silently. Aunt Tao had mentioned this to me countless times.

After I nodded, the Aunt Tao asked me why I chose the college entrance examination as my volunteer.

I found a random reason to lie to them and couldn't help but to smile wryly in my heart.

The reason why I chose to apply for the medical examiner's exam was not because I wanted to have fun, but because I wanted to be indifferent to life and death as soon as possible.

Aunt Zhen has already said that the lives of Pure Lady Sect's disciples do not belong to me. I do not know what will happen in the future, so I can only improve my mental fortitude first.

Aunt Tao chuckled and said, I think no matter what, I can ask me some more trivial things.

Even though I had many questions regarding the Ghost Village's experience, seeing that the Aunt Tao's topic only revolved around me, I suppressed the doubts in my heart, and didn't ask the Aunt Tao for an explanation.

When Aunt Tao and I returned to the Aunt House, my room had already been tidied up to look like a normal room.

Aunt Tao told me to stay in that room as usual. She said that she would set up a formation around the Aunt House, so she was wary of my two Ghost Husband s disturbing me.

After going through the Ghost Village, I was tired and hungry. After hearing Aunt Tao's words and eating with him, I washed my face, washed up, and went back to my room to lie down on my bed to sleep.

In the middle of the night, I was awoken by a nightmare. When I opened my eyes, I saw that the Ghost Husband that came after last night was actually sitting beside my bed, looking at me.
