Seeing the ghosts being abused like this, Kuang Zhiming and his wife suddenly felt very complicated.
Tan Fu and Lu Wenqing, who were originally scared pale, seemed to be greatly encouraged. After Tan Fu regained his senses, he grabbed the membership card and stuffed it back into his crotch. Lu Wenqing also became bolder and braver than ever before, pulling out the peach wood sword on his back and rushing forward to help.
This unlucky ghost with a yin horoscope had been bullied by ghosts since he was a child. When he rushed towards the ghosts, the psychological shadow area was so large that it was impossible to calculate. Fortunately, the substitute ghosts around had been stunned by Wei Xi at this time. They only wanted to escape and had no time to pay attention to whether there were any weak persimmons on the scene. The result of rushing recklessly was that he was stabbed by Lu Wenqing’s peach wood sword, which made the ghosts cry and howl.
Seeing this, Lu Wenqing was so excited that he almost shed tears. The liberated serfs were singing!
….
But Wei Xi on the other side was very unhappy. He rushed in to sign for the takeaway very happily at first, but after signing, he found out what happened! What happened!
He grabbed one with his whip, looked at it carefully, and threw it away. He grabbed another one, looked at it carefully, and threw it away again!
There isn’t even one evil ghost! Why isn’t there even one evil ghost!
How so!!!
He was so angry that his mind was not clear. He grabbed the male ghost’s ankle and swung it on the ground, making a loud slapping sound. He heard the male ghost and the substitute ghosts who were swung screaming miserably. His face was more sinister than the ghosts. He grabbed the neck of a substitute ghost who was whipped and had a bloody face and scolded him angrily: “You have never killed a human life!”
No one knew how the substitute ghost died. Half of the skull was sunken and its nose was crooked. He pinched his neck and trembled as he tried to defend himself: “Master, please understand! I, I, I, I… I am an earthbound spirit. If I could harm people, why would I still be here? I should have found a substitute and left long ago! I really didn’t make it in time!”
Unexpectedly, Wei Xi threw him to the ground in anger after hearing this: “Useless trash!!”
Substitute ghost: “????”
The second disciple who probably knew why he was angry: “…”
Kuang Zhiming and his wife came to their senses at this time, and also stepped forward with their magic weapons to start helping. Although the Taicang Sect seemed to be very powerful, they could not really not help at all. After all, there were too many ghosts in front of them, more than enough in number to form a small legion.
As a result, Kuang Zhiming was a little stunned after joining in. Why did these ghost substitutes just hide their heads and avoid them without even putting up a fight? It was too easy to beat them…
However, when his eyes swept over the male ghost in white who was probably the ghost leader who was still being held and tortured by Wei Xi, Kuang Zhiming seemed to understand something.
In short, this ritual really left him speechless, and he didn’t feel any sense of accomplishment even after the war was over.
It was so annoying, Kuang Zhiming was unhappy.
….
After a while, the two sides of humans and ghosts were clearly separated. Except for the one that Wei Xi had not let go, the other substitute ghosts were crying and squatting in a group, the scene was like a KTV being cracked down for pornography and illegal publications. Tuan Tuanyi counted them and found more than 200 of them, with all kinds of strange shapes and forms. He was very surprised: “This number is too much. Don’t wild ghosts harm people alone? How can they commit crimes collectively and be so despicable!”
Kuang Zhiming answered gloomily, “The substitute ghosts should have been bound to their own death place by their obsession. They should have been attracted by Mr. Tan’s request for a substitute, and with the leader ghost leading them, they appeared in groups.”
As the name suggested, the leader of the ghost group was usually the strongest one in the group, and he must have a clear mind to lead the ghost group. The strength of this leader was also linked to the number of ghosts he led, ranging from thirty to hundreds. At a higher level, he could cultivate to become a ghost king or queen, occupying a territory and commanding an area. This was not uncommon in folk legends.
The size of the ghost group of more than 200 was really not small, and they were even all dangerous elements who were obsessed with finding a substitute. If Kuang Zhiming had encountered them in the past, he would not have turned around and run away, but at least he would have contacted a group of local Taoist friends to work together before facing the enemy head-on. But now…
He looked at the leader ghost who was being held by his ankle by Wei Xi. His right leg had been stretched out by the beating and he was now lying on the ground groaning with only half a breath left.
Kuang Zhiming rubbed his face and turned away, unable to bear to look any further: “They are too obsessed, and they all died violent deaths. I’m afraid it will be difficult to deal with them. We have to save them one by one.”
The requests of ghosts looking for substitutes were also different. Some wanted to be reborn as humans, while others simply wanted to pass their obsessions on to others and live a carefree life. When they heard that they were going to be liberated, some ghosts in the group trembled and begged for mercy: “Master, can you please let me go after you have eliminated my obsession? I really don’t want to be reborn, oooo…”
Kuang Zhiming looked embarrassed, but his wife said coldly: “Let you go out and do evil? Don’t have such wishful thinking.”
Wild ghosts were hard to find, and they had no organization, no discipline, and no jurisdiction. Even if they had lost their obsession, they may not behave themselves. If they caused trouble again after being released, where could they catch them?
