C20 Soul Extraction

I could tell that this voice wasn't the same as Mrs. Zhao's.

I wonder where she found another ghost to help her.

I was annoyed. Including this one, I have already dealt with two female ghosts.

What are they doing? Why are they crying so much? Where did they get such a big grievance?

While thinking about this, I quickly straightened my back and didn't dare to come into contact with the coldness behind me.

I could vaguely feel that I had touched a pair of legs on my back.

Those legs were so cold that they were even colder than the water from the well in winter.

I also smelled a stench.

It was as if the ghost behind me was holding a jar of stinky tofu in her hand.

I pinched my nose and didn't want to smell this stench anymore. However, my eyes were wide open as I waited for the next scene.

Master once said, "Everything is an illusion, but only the heart is clear".

That meant that most of the tricks that the ghosts made were illusions. They could confuse people's senses and lead them to follow their thoughts.

Only by being clear-minded and not being fooled by the ghosts could one successfully complete the task of guarding the soul.

At that stage, it was considered to have passed the "first light" and entered the "Painstaking Stage".

Although it sounded easy, in reality, it was quite difficult to do it.

It was like someone suddenly threw a punch at your face. Even if you knew that the opponent's fist would not really land on your face, you would still uncontrollably close your eyes or blink.

It was the same principle.

If the ghost was crying, could you not see or not listen? At least for the current stage, I could not do that.

There was no other way. I could only watch the ghost act in front of me, one after another.

When I saw more and more, I was no longer surprised. Naturally, I would be able to really say "Don't do it."

The coldness behind me slowly moved forward with the sound of crying. After a short while, it came from my right side.

She was dressed in an ordinary countryside outfit. She was wearing a pair of lantern pants and a loose sleeve shirt, revealing two white arms.

I looked at her face and felt that it was very unfamiliar. I had never seen her before.

I knew that the ghosts that were used to seduce the Vigil Keeper would directly make illusions appear in the other party's mind.

Therefore, Hsing might not be able to perceive everything that I saw and heard.

At this time, I had to rely on myself. As long as I did not lose my mind and let the ghosts mess around, they would not be able to trick me.

"Return it to me! Return it to me!"

She only said this sentence. The feeling she gave me was as if I had taken something from her and refused to return it.

I thought to myself, stop joking around. You don't even have the slightest bit of skill with your illusions.

What do you want me to give you? I haven't even met you face to face before, so what would I give you?

Do you want to stick to me?

As I was thinking about this, I saw her squatting down, her unfamiliar face facing me, and she was still repeating what she had just said.

Looking at her posture, it seemed that if I didn't give her anything, she would take me down to the bottom.

As she squatted down, the distance between us became even closer.

I held my nose with one hand, but it was already not enough. A wave of stench assaulted me, and I was so smoked that I rolled my eyes.

I used two fingers to block my nostrils and pulled half of my clothes over my face, only leaving a pair of eyes to stare at her.

I thought to myself, this old woman doesn't seem to be carrying a stinky tofu jar. Instead, she looks like she is carrying a stinky bowl!

What happened? Did you just crawl out of the fecal pit?

To be honest, having such thoughts in my heart was disrespectful to ghosts.

However, after the soul left the body, it could be divided into three types. It didn't matter which type of ghost it was, they should be respectful to it.

The first type was the ghosts who had safely passed through seven days and were waiting for reincarnation. They did not disturb the living and did not cause any trouble. They were the normal dead.

I had respect for this type of ghost.

I sincerely hoped that they could enter the "Six Paths of Good" and have a greater fortune and good karma.

The second type was like Mrs. Zhao, who refused to leave obediently and jumped around during the mourning period.

I hate this kind of people the most.

If you were wronged, then you should look for whoever you should.

You always bring trouble to me, what the hell are you doing?

You are bullying me!

This kind of ghost was called a ghost. It was the reason why it was said that ghosts would never leave.

I absolutely did not have any respect for such ghosts.

It was just that my current realm was not high enough. If I was strong enough, I would kill every ghost that I met!

The third type was dead without a path to return to. They could only wander around aimlessly.

They were also known as wandering ghosts.

These kinds of ghosts either had no descendants to arrange a tomb for them when they died, or they had died in a foreign land and could not find a way to return home.

In short, they were ghosts that had lost their way.

I felt sympathy for these ghosts, but I did not have much respect for them.

Hsing had said that being able to become a wandering ghost was actually related to the karma of its lifetime.

Since it did not have enough merits, it naturally did not have the fortune to enter the cycle of reincarnation. No one could blame it.

I judged the ghost in front of me to be with Mrs. Zhao, so I naturally did not have a good expression towards her.

It would be good enough if I didn't spit on her.

The ghost stayed in front of me for a long time. Just when I was about to faint from the stench, Hsing finally stood up.

"Half incense is destined to be half incense. Half incense is said to be half incense! Go!" Hsing shouted.

I was overjoyed. Hsing, you should have done it earlier!

If I had used the Soul Repelling Spell earlier, I wouldn't have to suffer from the stench.

I didn't understand why Hsing hesitated for a moment before she drove away the ghost. However, it was better to do it later than to do it now.

If she were to stare at me for an entire night, I would probably turn into a walking stinky tofu!

The ghost was obedient. After Hsing's voice, she reluctantly stood up.

When she left, she turned her head back and looked at me with resentment.

I had the illusion that she was my long-lost wife. It was as if I had done something inhumane to her.

It was quite quiet during the night after the ghost left.

I looked at the white fish in the east and heard noises from not far away.

"Everyone is here early. There's still a quarter of an hour!"

"Okay, let's not enter the courtyard first. Listen to Old Zhao's instructions. We'll go in at five o'clock!"

"Come, come, come... Let us disperse the smoke. When we carry the coffin later, we have to work harder!"

...

I understand now. This is the person that Old Zhao hired to carry the coffin. They put Old Zhao's request in their hearts and rushed to carry the coffin as soon as possible.

I secretly heaved a sigh of relief in my heart, thinking that once the nail was nailed to the coffin and the coffin was lifted, there would be nothing for us, the Vigil Keeper, to do.

When they went to the tomb, Hsing said those last words in front of the coffin. The matter of the little wife was completely settled!

Seeing the hope of victory, my mood naturally became extremely good.

Although there were still some annoyed and irritated emotions, they were all thrown to the back of my mind and I didn't take it seriously.

Just then, Hsing quietly came to my side and grabbed my wrist with one hand.

She first pointed at the three Soul Capturing Needles on the coffin, then pointed at the coffin, and finally pointed at her own head.

I understood what Hsing meant.

She wanted me to quickly take off the Soul Capturing Needles and then drill them into the coffin and nail them to the back of the little wife's head.

But - what were you doing earlier?

Why did you suddenly remember to let me do this thing?
