Poor Taoist Qiu Chuji

Chapter 277: Vicious father, crazy mother, broken man
"Guo'er! Guo'er! Don't you want your mother anymore?" Qin Nanqin asked in a low voice, her figure twisting and floating in the air, her voice also sounding sharp and crazy.

Ghosts are transformed from human spirits and can still retain memories from their lifetime and maintain some humanity. For those who are born with strong spirits, there is almost no difference between them after death and before they were alive.

However, Xiyi's soul was already a remnant of death, and even if there were still some memories left, they had already been distorted.

Yang Guo wanted to change Qin Nanqin's choice by awakening her mother's love. It was not impossible, but the chance was very slim.

At this moment, he felt the suffocation and fear coming towards him, like a dark tide that was about to drown Yang Guo. Standing under the sun, he was sweating all over and shivering constantly. The true energy in his body seemed to be frozen and could not flow to his limbs and bones to warm this body that seemed to be frozen.

As a Xiyi ghost, Qin Nanqin has almost no chance of interfering with reality, because her existence is between existence and non-existence, which is different from ghosts in the usual sense.

Her existence is more like a "symbol" rather than a real influence.

But when she symbolizes fear itself, the symbolism is enough to kill.

It is easy to say that one is completely fearless and fearless, but only one in a million can truly achieve this state in a long-term and stable manner.

Yang Guo is naturally no exception.

“Mom! Guo’er will be with you from now on, please don’t kill me, okay?” Yang Guo’s lips trembled as he continued to beg for mercy. This was the only sentence he could say as he concentrated the sword intent of the divine sword and tried his best to cut through the invasion of fear.

Qin Nanqin let out a long string of strange laughter: "You accompany me... accompany me! You are lying! You don't even want to die, how can you be willing to accompany me!"

"Good boy! Be happy! We mother and I will never be separated...never be separated!"

Amid the strange laughter, the invisible, intangible and formless fear seemed to have transformed into a source of darkness in broad daylight, drilling into Yang Guo's eyes, ears, mouth and nose, and tightly squeezing his heart.

Yang Guo could clearly sense the approach of death.

The flame of life in his body seemed to be weakened and faded little by little, and it seemed so clear in his heart.

Death...this moment is also so long.

This deepened the fear itself.

In the shadow of a sunken cliff not far away, a ghost figure emerged and looked at Yang Guo, who seemed to be having a seizure, with a solemn expression.

This ghost was none other than Yang Zongbao, who was sent by Yang Kang to "test" Yang Guo.

According to the originally agreed script, he would transform into a 'ghost general' after nightfall and force Yang Guo to hand over the jade sword, or force him to eat the 'poison pill', and ask for the immortal book to share with him.

During this process, Yang Zongbao would "accidentally" reveal some flaws, allowing Yang Guo to seize the opportunity and escape.

The plan was good, but Yang Zongbao arrived at the wrong time and happened to encounter Li Qiushui kidnapping people.

As the first small boss who appeared to test Yang Guo, Yang Zongbao had his role stolen.

Relying on the light-avoiding talisman given by Yang Kang, Yang Zongbao was able to walk in the daytime for a short period of time, so he followed all the way. Originally, if Yang Guo did not untie Qin Nanqin's seal, Yang Zongbao would have ruined Li Qiushui's "good deed", thus giving Yang Guo a chance to escape.

However, they did not expect that Li Qiushui went crazy for some reason and suddenly ran under the sun to "commit suicide". Then Yang Guo seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. He first talked to himself, and then began to sweat and shiver.

Activating the light-avoiding talisman again, Yang Zongbao planned to get closer to see what was going on.

The ghost body was light and rose up with the wind. Yang Zongbao flew towards Yang Guo. Before he got close to him, a cold and icy feeling of fear surged up, which reminded him of the last moment before his death.

The fear that came from the depths of his soul made Yang Zongbao, a veteran general, feel frightened.

He finally understood why Li Qiu Shui flew into the sunlight and committed suicide.

"Something's wrong!" The Yin Qi in Yang Zongbao's body shook, and a layer of Yin skin was shed, turning into green smoke and dissipating on the spot. Then he flew wildly to the meeting place agreed with Yang Kang. For this purpose, he even consumed the light-avoiding talisman and turned into a dark wind and fled far away in broad daylight.

In just a few breaths, the cold wind flew into the cloud nest of the ancient tree that Yang Guo had seen earlier.

Yang Kang sat in the cloud nest, waiting for his 'own son' to come.

This was part of his plan. After Yang Guo went through untold hardships and finally defeated several opponents he had arranged, he finally entered the fairyland in the valley. The "immortal" he met was not the real Taoist Ying Yuan, but the "Ghost King of Qinling" in his disguise. I think Yang Guo's expression must have been quite wonderful and beautiful at that time, and it could also teach his "own son" a profound lesson, teaching him not to open champagne at halftime, otherwise he would be in disaster immediately.

Seeing Yang Zongbao flying in, Yang Kang asked, "Is your part over?"

"So fast?"

“Did you act with all your heart?”

Yang Zongbao's figure floated in the air, even more illusory than when it just took shape.

"Something went wrong!" said Yang Zongbao.

"Someone is intercepting me! I know... As a qualified general, do you still need me to teach you how to respond on the spot?" Yang Kang's words were less polite.

As the saying goes, the more debts you have, the less worries you have. The more ancestors you have, the less you have any. He basically put together the Yang Family Generals platter in one go. If he still wants to do the father-father-son thing, the whole plan will not work.

Fortunately, most of the members of the Yang family were of military origin, and they knew that too many orders would easily lead to confusion in execution, so usually, everyone acted according to seniority, but when it came time to get things done, Yang Kang was still the one in charge and everyone obeyed his orders.

"Not that!"

"It's Yang Guo. His current condition is very wrong, but I can't see it. When I got close to him, I just felt fear." Yang Zongbao recounted his feelings just now.

Yang Kang frowned, thought for a moment and said, "Forget it! It seems that before I play the role of the Ghost King of Qinling, I have to play the role of a guide first!"

"The character needs to change. You said I should first appear as a senior expert, give him a lot of guidance along the way, and then when the time is right, reveal my 'true face' and give him a hard time. Would that teach this kid a lesson and make him realize that people are treacherous and should not be trusted lightly?"

Yang Zongbao lowered his head and said nothing, but he thought to himself, "Is this your own son? How could such a disaster happen to our Yang family? Wouldn't it ruin our reputation if it got out?"

"Hahaha! This is a good idea. Let's follow this plan!"

"Let's go! Let me take a look at what's going on with him." Yang Kang said as he picked up a small hat woven from tiger fur and put it on his head, then rushed into the sunlight.

Yang Kang has the body of a living person, and is deeply integrated into the ghost world. The yin energy on his body is not heavy, and he can be said to be a half-yin body. His fear of sunlight is much weaker than that of ordinary ghosts. Now he has made a hat with the tiger hair dropped by Yin Rui. When he wears it on his head to block out the sunlight, it absorbs the yang fire coming towards him. He is no longer afraid of the threat of the daytime and can walk in the sun for a long time.

In a moment, Yang Kang arrived at where Yang Guo was.

At this moment, Yang Guo had already fallen to the ground, his face was blue and purple, and he was no longer breathing.

If it weren't for his profound internal strength, which allowed him to use his true qi to slowly circulate his blood, he would have been a real corpse by now.

Ultimately, Yang Guo was defeated by his own fear.

Qin Nanqin is only the source of fear, but cannot actually inflict any harm.

When Yang Kang appeared at the scene, he did not see Qin Nanqin at first. After all, in his knowledge, there was no such person.

After deleting the part about Qin Nanqin, Yang Kang is greedy for wealth and fame, but he is no longer a despicable thief who is greedy for women and sex. There is a huge change in his personality.

The current Yang Kang, after being re-polished by Qiu Chuji, is even more different from Qin Nanqin's Yang Kang.

Yang Kang couldn't see Qin Nanqin, but Qin Nanqin saw Yang Kang. When she saw him appear, she immediately started to go crazy.

“You…you’re here!”

"You're going to hurt me again!"

"Why do you always want to hurt me!" She was full of resentment, and Xiyi's original existence became more prominent because of this resentment.

The Xiyi ghost is somewhat reverting to its original form.

Once Qin Nanqin is restored to her original form, she will have more influence on reality, but the fear of death, dissipation, and eternal sleep that she represents will be weakened, making it easier for people or ghosts to break free from it.

Along with Qin Nanqin's angry and aggrieved questioning, a blurry figure appeared in Yang Kang's field of vision, which was originally invisible to her.

At the same time, fear also came towards Yang Kang... but it was of little use.

Yang Kang is a demon fetus transformed, and his nature is already mixed with some shadows of the devil. Fear is also the food of the devil.

How could he be afraid?
“What the hell!” Yang Kang raised his hand and swung his sword, the enchanting sword intent was about to disperse the figure.

The figure was blurred and distorted, and she allowed the sword light wrapped in sword intent to pass through her body without any ripples.

"You still want to kill me!"

"I... I'm not afraid of you! If you kill me... I will kill you too!" Qin Nanqin's resentment increased.

Thus, the blurry figure began to take shape of facial features.

At this time, the invasion that seemed to come from the source of fear began to subside and weaken.

The abundant internal energy in Yang Guo's body began to become more active, surging within his torso, trying to rescue the body that was about to lose its vitality.

“Go!” Yang Kang drew in the air, and drew a magic talisman that was a secret of the Yinyue Dynasty.

The soul-devouring magic talisman flew towards Qin Nanqin, ready to tear her to pieces.

However, this once again destroyed the little sense of existence that Qin Nanqin had accumulated due to resentment. She turned back into the ghost of Xiyi. The power of fear increased again. Yang Guo, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was overwhelmed by fear again and entered a passive hibernation, about to step into the arms of death.

The love of parents seems to be embodied at this moment.
