Chapter 535 A Chinese Ghost Story 3: The Mysteries

Jiang Ming is temporarily stuck in the chaotic era of Rong Yuyi and Rong Xiaoyi, whose investigations indicate that it is currently the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, between the Tang and Song dynasties, spanning from 907 to 979.

The Five Dynasties refers to the five dynasties that successively succeeded each other in the Central Plains region of northern China: Later Liang, Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou.

The Ten Kingdoms refers to the ten separatist regimes that coexisted in the south and parts of the west, including Former Shu, Later Shu, Southern Wu, Southern Tang, Wuyue, Min Kingdom, Southern Chu, Southern Han, Jingnan (Nanping), and Northern Han.

Don't underestimate the short span of seventy-two years. In such a chaotic world, even living for one more minute is a luxury.

The area is now under the rule of the Northern Han Dynasty, where people live in misery and bandits roam freely. It has become a paradise for evil spirits, demons, and monsters.

Jiang Ming, along with Rong Yuyi and Rong Xiaoyi, explored this place for only half a month, killing some minor monsters and accumulating more than 5,000 enhancement points.

Of course, in order to help the two women cultivate, Jiang Ming had to sacrifice his own looks and discuss the true meaning of the Bhikkhu Sutra with them.

The path to immortality is long and arduous; even those aspiring to become immortals need a trustworthy, powerful, intelligent, and capable Daoist partner. Initially, Rong Yuyi discussed the Dao of Longevity with Jiang Ming. Later, discovering that Rong Xiaoyi liked to eavesdrop, he had no choice but to bring her along.

Today, the three of them traveled all the way to a place called Jinhua County.

Jiang Ming was now wearing a third-tier magic robe of the Golden Core stage level, which he had drawn from the system. It was a blue ancient costume long robe, and he wore a bamboo hat.

Beside him stood the two sisters. Rong Yuyi wore a flowing, wide-sleeved fairy dress, a fourth-tier magic robe she had crafted herself for the Nascent Soul stage. She also possessed a fifth-tier magic treasure, the Hunri Silk. Her hairstyle was a Yuanbao bun, making her resemble Nie Xiaoqian. However, she was far more powerful than Nie Xiaoqian.

Her hair, a high bun reaching into the clouds, resembled an exquisite pagoda, standing atop a woman's head, symbolizing her purity and elegance. Without any gold or silver hairpins, it possessed a youthful and vibrant radiance, adding a touch of liveliness and energy to the bun.

Rong Xiaoyi was dressed in a flowing yellow dress with wide sleeves, also a fourth-tier magic robe, which Rong Yuyi had refined for her. She also carried a golden fifth-tier flying sword on her back. This was a magic treasure of their sect, the Golden Moon Sword.

Her double buns, one on each side, resembled twin lotus blossoms, symbolizing the composure and virtue of ancient women. Pearls and jade adorned the buns, shimmering with a warm luster, showcasing feminine grace and chastity, captivating all who beheld them. This girl was truly a genius; this hairstyle was typically reserved for girls around fourteen years old, conveying a sense of youthful innocence and purity.

Unfortunately, the two women were also wearing white and yellow conical hats, which obscured their stunning beauty.

In such a chaotic world, being beautiful is a sin, making it difficult to move an inch.

She managed to cover her face, but because of her great figure, people kept coming to her for her life.

When faced with such people, Jiang Ming didn't hesitate to use his "ghostly blindness" technique to send them to their deaths. Living would only harm others.

They found their master's remains, but the old man was dead and his body was nowhere to be found. Even the fifth-tier magic weapon in his hand, the Demon-Suppressing Sword, was destroyed by the female demon.

Where are we?

Rong Xiaoyi looked at Jiang Ming curiously and asked.

"We'll stay in Jinguang County for two days. As usual, we'll investigate the situation on the first day, and then set off to exorcise demons that very night. We'll rest and cultivate on the second day."

Jiang Ming said with a gentle smile.

After the female demon was killed, Jiang Ming opened the rare treasure chest and obtained a Nascent Soul Pill.

Such a reward is incredibly precious. For the two women, once they reach the Nascent Soul stage, having such a precious pill could help them break through to the Deity Transformation stage.

Just then, with a sudden rumble, the wind rose, clouds surged, the sky and earth changed color, and a thunderstorm arrived.

"It's going to rain. I'd like to find a place to take shelter from the rain."

Rong Yuyi said softly. Even if they possessed magical powers, in such a chaotic world, battles could break out at any moment, and they couldn't afford to expend their magical powers to avoid the rain.

There is a thatched hut in front.

Rong Xiaoyi said with delight.

As soon as Jiang Ming finished speaking, it started to rain. He immediately took out a Hummer from his storage space. "Get in. We'll go out when the rain stops."

The two women were not surprised, because along the way they had learned how to use a gun, ride a motorcycle, drive a car, and sail a boat.

Jiang Ming's storage ring contained many modern items, all purchased during his special trip abroad. It even included an eight-seater Mi-24 "Hind" armed helicopter, equipped with twin-barreled GSh-23 23mm cannons.

Of course, he used all 20,000 enhancement points he had to strengthen the internal space of his storage ring. Now, the cube-shaped space inside is 180 meters in length, width, and height.

This space is large enough to hold a lot of things.

Just a moment after they got into the car, they saw an old monk leading a young monk to take shelter from the rain. They hurriedly rushed into a nearby thatched hut.

Then, the little monk stepped on a skull, nearly screamed in fright, and immediately threw it into the waist-high weeds in the distance.

The next moment, a large group of fierce-looking men wielding butcher knives suddenly rushed out of the weeds.

Then, behind these people, there was a guy dressed as a swordsman, riding a horse and holding a sword.

"Give me back that money."

The swordsman leaped from his horse, caught up with the group, and began killing them with his greatsword. It was clear that his cultivation had reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. However, his swordsmanship was also quite impressive, and his sword was a fifth-tier magic weapon.

"Puff puff--"

This was a completely crushing massacre; he chopped them all down like chopping vegetables, leaving not a single one alive. Heads, severed limbs, intestines, and internal organs were scattered all over the ground.

"Did you see that sword box that person was carrying? Inside is a set of sixth-tier magic weapons. This person probably obtained someone's inheritance by chance."

Rong Yuyi was somewhat surprised to see this scene.

"Jiang Lang, that monk is the real expert. I feel he has at least the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, which is the level of a strong person who has just achieved the initial stage of the Four Zen Heavens."

At this moment, Rong Xiaoyi also spoke up.

“That little monk is no good. He hasn’t exhausted the six senses. His cultivation level is just at the perfect stage of the Second Dhyana Heaven.”

Rong Yuyi sighed.

Jiang Ming remained silent. Such talent would have made him a top genius in his time. The little monk looked no more than sixteen or seventeen years old.

Of course, compared to the Rong Xiaoyi and Rong Yuyi sisters, the successor of Yan Chixia next to them is not much better.

Jiang Ming already understood what kind of movie incident he had encountered. It was the third installment of the "A Chinese Ghost Story" series.

This story should take place more than a hundred years after the Tree Demon Granny was injured by Yan Chixia. Clearly, the old Tree Demon is living a much more comfortable life, openly operating a brothel with female ghosts and recruiting talented individuals.
