Chapter 83 A Cruel Story
Assistant Xu took one look at the jingling wind chimes and trembled all over. This was no small matter! This was not the first or second floor, but the tenth floor. If he jumped out of the window, even God could not save him! He instinctively stepped back a few steps and plugged his ears with his fingers. No matter what, as long as he couldn't hear it, nothing would happen!
Song Yan looked back at Assistant Xu and sighed. Song Lan really gave them a hard time - once she was sure that Assistant Xu would not cause trouble during the exorcism of the female ghost she took off. She took the space ring from her ring finger and threw it into the air. This ring is designed for high-level exorcists, but when it changes into its true form - the yang energy it takes back from the holder is no joke. The space ring burst into golden light, spun a few times in the air, and turned into a sickle. Song Yan caught it, and then cast his eyes on the female ghost still hiding in the shell.
If you want to get rid of this female ghost, you have to deal with her as soon as possible because her yang energy is not enough to last for too long.
Assistant Xu, who was watching from the side, was completely dumbfounded. A small peanut-sized ring turned into something like the sickle of death? He took another step back in astonishment. The sickle looked like it could do more than just harvest spiritual energy. If he was dragged into the battle, wouldn't he lose his life? It was better to be safe than sorry.
Song Yan didn't know that Assistant Yang had such thoughts in his mind. She was focused on the wind chimes that had begun to jingle wildly. She didn't even look at Assistant Xu, because the female ghost in white wearing the wind chimes finally appeared.
She has lived as a ghost for more than five hundred years, and her main source of cultivation has always been ghosts with lower cultivation than her. Many exorcists think this is wrong because they want to take the holier-than-thou route, but Song Yan is not like that. She will not liberate a soul that has a grudge. She will use its Yin essence to improve her cultivation, which is an essential resource for upgrading levels. She will not let it go. This is the difference between her and the masters of the Gu family. They will first think of a situation to liberate the poor soul, believing that what happened to it was unfortunate and worth giving it another chance. Song Yan disagrees with their approach. Although the vengeful ghost's approach is indeed wrong, it is also wrong to treat the countless humans it possessed and ate.
Even if she liberated an evil soul, it would burn in hell anyway. So, instead of burning in hell, it would be better to re-burn her cultivation and elevate it to a new realm.
She was originally a ghost cultivator - so there was nothing wrong with what she did, she would harvest this ghost and use her own cultivation to assist herself.
Assistant Xu stood nervously behind Song Yan, waiting for a long time. He thought that the second wife would kill the female ghost in seconds with the scythe in her hand, but after waiting for a long time, he found that she was just standing there and doing nothing. He frowned and walked forward slowly until he stood next to Song Yan, and then he found that Song Yan's lips were moving silently, as if he was talking to the female ghost in his domain.
"Second Madam, why don't you do anything? Aren't you supposed to exorcise the female ghost?" The temperature dropped suddenly, and Assistant Xu felt a little uneasy. Although this room always felt colder than other rooms, it now felt like standing in an ice cellar.
"Assistant Xu, everyone should have a chance." Song Yan smiled and said, "If an uninvited guest knocks on your door, you should at least invite him in for a cup of tea instead of kicking him out, right? Let's listen to what the ghost girl has to say. I'm quite relieved." You are curious about what happened to her, aren't you? "
Assistant Xu: "..." No I'm not. In fact, I'm waiting for you to kick her out of my house!
But he was still polite on the surface and asked, "What does the female ghost have to say?" He was not interested in listening to the tragic stories of ghosts, but now that the second wife had asked about it, he might as well listen.
"The ghost girl was a court singer with a melodious voice, and princes and ministers came from far away to listen to her performance. With her beauty and singing, she won the favor of the emperor, but then she fell in love with a prostitute who shared the same palace with her, and the two decided to elope and get married, but the emperor got to know their plan, and sent people to capture the prostitute and frame him. Then he forced the ghost girl to marry him, but she refused, and his self-esteem was hurt, and he also ordered her to be killed, but--" A smirk played on the corners of her mouth. "But the emperor thought it was a pity for someone with such a beautiful voice like her to die, so he asked his men to dig up the ghost girl's bones and use them to make this wind chime. A quiet cruel story, don't you think?"
