Chapter 8: Accommodating the pupil ghost
Yang He’s slightly abrupt action shocked everyone.

“Master Yang!”

It was too late for Song Kuo to stop him, and he could only watch Yang He dive into the pile of corpses.

The scene in front of the coffin was strange and inexplicable.

Because the officers and soldiers would be connected to the cover after death, the bodies would remain in the same posture, as if the crowd was bowing to the coffin.

“Sir, he dared to disturb the Third Young Master…”

The deputy general drew the sword from his waist, but was stopped by Li Feng.

“Wait.” Li Feng’s expression was grim. He tapped his chest with his index finger. The purple blood vessels and meridians burst and his heart beat like a drum.

He took out a creamy white candle and lit the flame with his yang energy.

Most of the negative energy in the coffin had dissipated, but the knocking inside the coffin became more and more frequent.

Yang He realized it belatedly and looked back, muttering to himself, “What kind of Yin instrument can suppress Nezha, and there shouldn’t be a hungry ghost inside his body…”

He pushed aside the hideous-looking corpses of officers and soldiers and came to the cover.

The marks left by Yang He’s strangulation caused stinging pain, and he could no longer breathe through his mouth and nose. His organs began to fail, and he was relying entirely on the pupil ghost to barely maintain his remaining consciousness.

“Master Yang, I, Li Feng, am here, so you can go ahead.”

Li Feng knocked his chest again, and his whole body trembled with his heartbeat.

The candle burned out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Yang He felt refreshed, as if he had taken a magic medicine, and his strength increased greatly.

“How cruel! Li Feng will probably lose more than ten years of his life. He is cruel to me, cruel to himself, and even crueler to the officers and soldiers under him.”

Yang He knew that he would not live long. The three fires were about to go out, and his excited state was obviously due to the blessing of the candles lit by Li Feng.

“rise!”

Yang He’s eyes turned white, and tears and blood kept flowing from his pupils.

The old cover was completely lifted off the coffin, revealing flesh and blood stuck to the gap, and the cry of a baby from inside was extremely resentful.

The pupil ghost let out a sharp scream and was about to collapse.

Yang He glanced inside the coffin. Although his spiritual vision could only see darkness, he could still sense someone watching him.

There was a constant rustling noise, as if fingernails were scratching on the cover.

Yang He staggered half a meter away.

“Third Young Master!”

Li Feng opened his mouth and spit out a breath of yang fire. His hair turned gray and wrinkles appeared at the corners of his eyes.

The officers and soldiers lifted the cover and dropped it heavily on the coffin.

At this time, thick fog shrouded Cailian Town.

More than 4,300 people in the town heard the baby crying at the same time.

In an instant, they felt splitting headaches, and red silk appeared out of nowhere, strangled their necks, hanging more than 4,300 people in the air.

boom.

Before they died, the officers and soldiers put the lid back in place and used their corpses to press down on the coffin.

The red ribbon disappeared, and the only thing left in Cailian Town was the coughing. The townspeople escaped in time and were fine. It seemed that the trouble caused by the coffin had been solved…

Yang He’s body was emaciated and his yang energy was completely exhausted.

He stared at the coffin with foresight, a hint of bitterness on his lips.

“That’s Lingzhuzi’s reincarnation. How can a piece of broken wood from a hundred-year-old locust tree be enough to end it?”

Click.

The cover that had just been closed suddenly broke down again, and tiny cracks began to spread.

No mortal being can restrain Nezha. When Nezha is born again, he will be even more terrifying and will not let go of anyone in Cailian Town.

“This is only my second time entering the allusion, and the speed at which the difficulty is increasing is too exaggerated.”

Yang He’s breathing was weak, and Song Kuo immediately approached to check on him.

He used his remaining strength to push Song Kuo away, and listened to the conversation between Li Feng and the deputy general before he died.

“How long will it take for the Taoist priests from Qianyuan Mountain to arrive at Cailian Town?”

“Ten days at most.”

“It should be able to last for ten days. I hope they can help the Third Young Master to be reborn as soon as possible.”

Yang He felt dizzy and returned to the main world.

………

[Your character “Jianghu Taoist” has died, and the role-playing story ends]

[Obtain <Three taels of silver>] [Obtain <Pupil Ghost>]

[Obtain the Yin Copper Coin Sword]

[Obtain the “Coffin Cover Filled with Yin Qi”]

Yang He covered his neck and sat down helplessly. The feeling of death was not pleasant, and he died in a very daring way.

“Fortunately… Fortunately, this trip was fruitful.”

【Vision 9.4 points】

Yang He couldn’t help but feel a lingering fear. He only faced Nezha for a few short breaths. It was hard to imagine how terrifying it would be when Nezha’s true body arrived.

“I wonder what Li Jing is thinking? Eighty percent of the soldiers he sends out will die.”

Yang He recalled the Qianyuan Mountain mentioned by Li Feng. Although he had read The Investiture of the Gods in his previous life, he had no idea about Qianyuan Mountain.

However, he guessed that Qianyuan Mountain was most likely the Taoist temple of Taiyi Zhenren.

“I don’t know what style Taiyi Zhenren is in the world of allusions.”

[Do you want to exchange for <three taels of silver>]

Yang He stuffed the Taoist’s meager fortune into his pocket.

[Do you want to exchange for the Yin Copper Coin Sword?]

His hand sank, and the Yin Copper Coin Sword he had exchanged for landed in his palm.

The copper coin sword was well preserved and still felt bone-chillingly cold when touched. Yang He wrapped it with a cloth strip several times before there was no obvious abnormality.

“And the pupil ghost…”

“Hey, both worlds are full of dangers. What choice do I, a mortal, have?”

Yang He did not hesitate for too long. If he wanted to protect himself in the main world, he could only accommodate ghosts. However, consuming spiritual vision could offset the disadvantages of pupil ghosts.

[Do you want to exchange for “Pupil Ghost”?]

“determine.”

Yang He had made sufficient preparations and had not forgotten the art of observing qi that he had learned not long ago.

He began to recite the Qi-Watching Technique silently. His breathing frequency became regular, which indirectly affected his Qi and blood. In a trance, his consciousness fell into endless darkness.

The pupil ghost appears intuitively in the mind in the form of an illusion.

There were only empty holes in Yang He’s eye sockets, and then the negative energy spread from his eyebrows to his limbs, and the pupil ghost immediately merged with him.

The skin on his face squirmed and a pupil opened on his forehead.

At the beginning, the pupil ghost was as big as a goose egg and occupied the entire forehead.

Yang He’s spiritual vision dropped sharply by 0.5 points, and the pupil ghost returned to calm, gradually shrinking to the normal pupil size and quietly sinking into the flesh.

[Spiritual Vision: 8.9 points]

He tried to control the pupil ghost and found that it was as easy as in the world of allusions.

“According to the records of the Qi-Watching Technique, if one draws Yin Qi into the body to practice, the changes of the pupil ghost will be even more unpredictable, and one can continue to advance.”

“It’s a pity that the method is incomplete. I have to make some plans next time I enter the world of allusions.”

Yang He summoned the panel again, and in addition to the spiritual vision, some words appeared.

[Qigong practitioner: pupil ghost (weak ghost)]

“A weak ghost must be the current level of Tong Ghost. The hungry ghost born from the belly of the turbot must also be a weak ghost.”

“I wonder if I can accommodate a second ghost?”

Yang He shook his head and his eyes fell on the final harvest.

[The coffin lid filled with yin energy]

[This Yin object is derived from the thousand-year-old Yin wood soaked in ghost blood. It contains a strong Yin energy. Although it is damaged, it can be used to refine the Yin object “Hundred Souls Banner”. 】

Naturally, Yang He didn’t dare to bring the cover into the main world. Not only was it too big, but without the method of refining it, it would be a disaster if he kept it in his hands.

[The coffin cover filled with Yin Qi can be exchanged for 4.8 spiritual vision]

“exchange.”

“Including the spiritual vision of the cover, the current spiritual vision is finally better than…”

As soon as Yang He had this thought, the information about the spiritual vision suddenly changed. The words were covered in blood and the flickering light seemed to be a warning.

[Spiritual Vision: 13.7 points]

[Your spiritual vision has reached 10 points, and you have deeply witnessed part of the essence of the world. Remember, don’t make it public, and don’t go crazy. ]
