Chapter 466: House Fight Turns into Thriller 5
However, the guards and servants in the mansion had all gone to bed, so there was no one to save him. The female ghost chased after him, sneering and screaming as she flew, frightening Lord Liu to death.
At the same time, Liu Ruyan and the concubines were also awakened by the scream. They ran out of the room and saw Lord Liu running towards them with disheveled hair and dishevelled clothes, shouting as he ran: "There's a ghost! There's a ghost!"
Liu Ruyan and the concubines were all shocked when they saw this. They looked at each other, their hearts filled with fear and confusion. However, before they could ask about the situation, the female ghost had already floated in front of them.
"You evil women! You killed my master! Today is the day you die!" the ghost girl shouted sternly, and waved her hands. A gust of cold wind blew by, making Liu Ruyan and the concubines' hair disheveled and their dresses fluttering.
"Ah——!" Liu Ruyan and the concubines screamed in fear and fled in all directions. As they ran, they shouted for help: "Hurry up! There's a ghost! Help!"
However, the entire Liu Mansion was already shrouded in the terrifying atmosphere of the female ghost, and no one dared to come out to save them. The female ghost chased them relentlessly, sneering and threatening as she flew: "None of you can escape! Today is the day you die!"
Liu Ruyan ran the fastest. She looked back as she ran away, and saw the ghost chasing her closely. She was filled with fear and despair, not knowing what to do. Suddenly, she saw a rockery in the garden in front of her, and she ran towards it with an idea.
She hid behind the rockery, holding her breath, fearing that she would be discovered by the ghost. However, the ghost seemed to have already discovered her. She floated in front of the rockery and sneered, "Where do you think you can hide? Today is the day you die!"
After saying that, the ghost stretched out her hands and grabbed Liu Ruyan who was behind the rockery. Seeing this, Liu Ruyan screamed in fear and crawled out. However, as soon as she escaped from the rockery, she was grabbed by the ghost.
"Ah! Help!" Liu Ruyan screamed in fear, grabbing the ghost's arm tightly with both hands. However, the ghost's power was so strong that she just waved her hand and threw Liu Ruyan aside.
Liu Ruyan fell to the ground, groaning in pain. She struggled to get up and tried to run away again. However, the female ghost had already floated in front of her and stretched out her hands to strangle her neck.
"You...you let me go...let me go..." Liu Ruyan gasped with difficulty, holding the ghost's arm tightly with both hands. However, the ghost had no intention of letting go, and instead pinched her tighter and tighter.
Liu Ruyan felt that her breathing was becoming more and more difficult, and the scene in front of her eyes was becoming more and more blurred. She knew that she was about to die, and her heart was filled with fear and unwillingness. Suddenly, she thought of her father and mother, and her past happy times. She couldn't help but shed tears of regret: "Father... Mother... I'm sorry for you... I was wrong..."
However, it was too late to regret now. The female ghost pinched her neck and looked at her coldly: "You know you are wrong? Then go to hell!"
After saying that, the ghost increased her strength. Liu Ruyan felt as if her neck was about to be strangled, and she screamed in pain. However, no matter how she struggled or called for help, she could not escape the clutches of the ghost.
Just when Liu Ruyan was about to suffocate to death, a golden light suddenly flashed. The female ghost screamed and loosened her hand that was pinching Liu Ruyan's neck. Liu Ruyan took the opportunity to roll to the side, gasping for air. She looked up and saw a Taoist priest in a Taoist robe and holding a magic sword standing in front of her.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for saving my life!" Liu Ruyan said gratefully.
The Taoist smiled and said, "You're welcome. I'm a Taoist who travels around the world, exorcising demons and monsters. I passed by here today and saw that there was a demonic aura here, so I came to check it out. I didn't expect to encounter a female ghost."
After saying that, the Taoist turned around and looked at the ghost girl. Seeing this, the ghost girl retreated in fear. She knew she was no match for the Taoist, so she wanted to escape. However, the Taoist had already caught up with her. He held the magic sword in his hand, waving it while chanting the spell: "The sky and the earth are boundless, the universe borrows the magic! Demons and ghosts, quickly show up!"
As the Taoist chanted, a golden light shot out from the magic sword and hit the female ghost. The female ghost screamed and was hit by the golden light. Her body began to become blurred, as if it was about to dissipate.
"Please spare my life! Taoist priest, please spare my life!" the female ghost begged.
The Taoist snorted coldly and said, "You have committed many evil deeds and killed many people. Today is the day you will die!"
After saying this, the Taoist priest swung his magic sword again. A golden light flashed, and the ghost girl's body completely dissipated into the air.
Seeing this, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but feel relieved. She looked at the Taoist priest gratefully and said, "Thank you for getting rid of the female ghost for me! May I know your name?"
The Taoist smiled and said, "I am a wandering Taoist priest with no name or surname. You just need to remember that I am a man who exorcises demons and monsters."
After saying this, the Taoist priest turned and left. Liu Ruyan looked at the Taoist priest's back as he left, her heart filled with gratitude and respect. She knew that she was able to escape today only because of the Taoist priest's help.
At this time, Lord Liu and his concubines had also recovered from their shock. They all ran to Liu Ruyan and asked about her injuries with concern. Liu Ruyan shook her head, indicating that she was fine.
"Father, what should we do? Where did this female ghost come from?" Liu Ruyan asked.
Lord Liu felt guilty when he heard this. He knew that this female ghost was probably a maid in his house, who was resentful because she died unjustly. Now that she was awakened by Liu Hui, she wanted to seek justice for herself.
"Alas... This is all my fault!" Lord Liu sighed, "This female ghost is probably the reincarnation of a maid in our mansion. She died unjustly and her heart is full of resentment. Now that she has been awakened, she is going to bring disaster to our Liu Mansion!"
Liu Ruyan was shocked when she heard this. She had never thought that this female ghost was actually someone from her own house, and she had never thought that there was such a complicated story behind it.
"Then what should we do? Are we going to live in this fear forever?" Liu Ruyan asked.
Lord Liu shook his head and said, "No! We can't live in fear forever. We must find the root of this female ghost and resolve her resentment before we can let her rest in peace."
After that, Lord Liu took Liu Ruyan and the concubines back to the hall. He summoned the servants in the mansion and asked them if they knew the origin of the female ghost. However, the servants all looked confused and said they didn't know where the female ghost came from.
Just when everyone was at a loss, a maid suddenly came in. She looked flustered, as if she had something important to report.
"Master, something bad has happened! The young lady...she is missing!" said the maid.
