Searching for the best path, starting from Renjia Town

Chapter 6 Song Dingbo Catches Ghosts

"What bad luck."

In the courtyard of the charity cemetery, Qiu Sheng sat on Uncle Jiu's recliner, looking up at the sky and muttering to himself.

I tossed and turned all night last night, but didn't even catch a single tiger hair. It was all in vain.

Uncle Jiu and Wencai went to the next town to perform a ritual and will not be back until tonight. Qiu Sheng and Li Kunshan will temporarily take care of the charity cemetery.

"Senior brother."

Li Kunshan came out of the house with a book in his hand and handed it to Qiu Sheng.

"I'll show you something good."

"Jin Ping Mei or The Carnal Prayer Mat."

Qiu Sheng rolled over and sat up from his chair, took it and opened it, and couldn't help frowning slightly.

“Why are there no illustrations?”

After reading a few lines and flipping through the whole book, Qiu Sheng threw it aside in disappointment.

"What? It's not that kind of book at all."

"There are only a few books like that. I've read them all to pieces. What's the point? Just read this story."

Li Kunshan picked up the book, turned to a page, and walked up to Qiu Sheng.

"Song Dingbo...catching ghosts?"

Seeing the title above, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but be stunned.

Is this Song Dingbo also a Maoshan Taoist priest, or from the Longhu or Gezhao sects?
Out of curiosity, I subconsciously read on.

"Cut~!"

After reading it, he waved his hands in disappointment again.

It turned out that he was just an ordinary person, but he caught the ghost by spitting.

"Senior brother."

Li Kunshan came over and asked tentatively.

"Do you think what's written in this book is true? If you spit on a ghost, will it really turn into a sheep?"

"How should I know? Just ask Master when he comes back."

"Actually, there's no need to ask Master. We'll know if we just try."

"Ok?"

Qiu Sheng was startled and turned to look at Li Kunshan.

"What do you mean."

"How much is a sheep now?"

"Mutton is very scarce now, it costs at least one yuan..."

At this point, Qiu Sheng was suddenly stunned, then his eyes widened slightly.

"what do you mean?"

"A sheep costs one dollar, which is equivalent to a ghost costing one dollar, if what's written in the book is true!"

"That's a good point."

Qiu Sheng rubbed his palms, feeling a little moved, and then scratched his head.

"But where can we catch ghosts?"

Li Kunshan smiled and pointed to the side room next to the main house.

Qiu Sheng was stunned again, then slapped his thigh as if he had suddenly realized something.

Then, the two men pried open the lock of the side room, and saw a table inside, on which were wine jars. Each wine jar had a yellow talisman stuck to its seal!
What is placed here is the evil ghost that Uncle Jiu caught!

Put the evil spirit into the wine jar and suppress it with talismans and formations. After a certain period of time, the evil spirit's evil spirit and magic power can be eliminated. Then it will be handed over to the ghost catcher of the underworld and sent to be tried and punished. After the punishment, they will be reincarnated.

"That'll be fine."

While Uncle Jiu is not at home, I just do it.

Qiu Sheng brought a lot of talismans to drive away ghosts, formed a circle with a diameter of one meter in an empty space in the room, and then placed the wine jar containing the ghost in the middle.

The two of them put on Uncle Jiu's Taoist robes and prepared various magical tools such as the Bagua mirror and the gold coin sword in advance.

Everything was ready. The two took a deep breath, and Qiu Sheng used a stick to remove the yellow talisman that was suppressing the wine jar.

Hurrah~!

A cloud of black smoke immediately emerged from the wine jar, and then a male ghost in tattered clothes and with a hideous face appeared.

"Roar~!"

Although it had been sealed by Uncle Jiu for a long time, the evil spirit was still as vicious as ever. Upon seeing Li Kunshan and Qiu Sheng, it stretched out its claws and made a move to pounce.

"Ah~!"

But the next moment, when he touched the circle formed by the talisman paper, he reflexively shrank back as if he was electrocuted.

The evil ghost looked around and saw that he was trapped by the talisman paper, and roared angrily.

"Haha, you can't get out."

Seeing that the talisman formation was effective, Qiu Sheng smiled proudly.

He looked at Li Kunshan and nodded seriously.

Then he took a step forward, less than two meters away from the evil ghost, and his throat moved up and down.

"Heh~teh!" He spat a large mouthful of saliva directly onto the evil ghost's face.

The evil ghost was circling in the talisman formation. Suddenly, he was startled. He reached out and touched his face, put it close to his eyes to look, put it to his nose to smell, and then he just stood there in a daze.

"Did you make it?"

Seeing that the evil ghost was motionless, Qiu Sheng couldn't help but move forward slightly, his face full of curiosity.

"Ah~! I'm going to tear you apart!"

Who knew that the next moment, the evil ghost suddenly jumped up and pounced on Qiu Sheng with an angry face.

Even if there was a talisman formation to resist, it was completely ignored.

Come to think of it, after being suppressed for so long, he was spat on in the face as soon as he saw the light of day again. No one can stand it, let alone a fierce ghost. Ghosts also have their own personalities.

"Wow! He's going crazy!"

Qiu Sheng didn't expect that his spit would be so powerful, and he was so scared that he stepped back in a hurry.

"Don't be afraid, brother! I'm here to help you!"

At this time, Li Kunshan, who had been ready to go, shouted loudly, holding the thunder-struck peach wood sword in his hand, and stabbed the evil ghost fiercely.

“Ah~! Ahhhh~!”

This evil ghost had been suppressed for a long time and had little magic power left. When it was stabbed by the peach wood sword, it screamed and turned into ashes just like the ghosts last night.

"...How did you kill him?!"

After seeing the evil ghost reduced to ashes, Qiu Sheng came to his senses and stared at Li Kunshan with wide eyes.

[Kill Liu Tienan and obtain the entry Strong and Strong (White)! ]

"Huh? Oh."

Seeing the system prompt, Li Kunshan, who was secretly happy, said casually.

"I'm afraid he'll hurt you, brother!"

"How can I be hurt? He's trapped in the talisman formation and can't get out at all."

Qiu Sheng felt a headache and looked at the empty wine jar with a worried look on his face.

"That's good now. You've killed this ghost. When Master comes back and finds out, how are we going to explain it?"

"Let's restore the jar to its original state and put it back. Master shouldn't be able to find it for a while."

"That's all we can do now."

Qiu Sheng nodded, pasted the talisman paper back on the altar, and put it back on the table.

Li Kunshan, who was helping on the side, suddenly said something in a puzzled tone.

"Brother, why didn't you succeed just now?"

"That book is a complete lie. How can spit turn a ghost into a sheep? How can it possibly work?"

"But that book was found on Master's bookshelf. How could it be a lie?"

Li Kunshan continued speaking with an unconvinced look.

"Could it be that something went wrong, like the amount of saliva was too little? After all, that's a fierce ghost, how could a mouthful of spit possibly subdue him?"

"What's your plan?"

Qiu Sheng looked at Li Kunshan vigilantly and warned.

"You're not still planning on attacking other ghosts, are you? I'm telling you, absolutely not. If anything unexpected happens again, wait for Master to come back..."

"Brother, I heard that a group of opera singers came to town tonight."

"Pink drama?"

"Yes, there's a tent, and for three hundred coins you can go in and see everything."

"Three hundred coins..."

It’s not a lot indeed, but Qiu Sheng doesn’t even have a hundred coins in his pocket now.

Li Kunshan said softly from the side.

"As long as we succeed, one dollar a sheep, enough for the two of us to go in and see, and we can still have four hundred coins left to buy delicious food."

"This……"

Qiu Sheng was moved again, and quickly made up his mind, and immediately moved another ghost-sealing altar.

"Then try again!"

……

A few hours later.

"It's dead now."

Looking at the empty Ghost Sealing Altar, Qiu Sheng's face turned pale.

Who would have thought that after trying more than ten times, I didn't succeed once.

What was even more unexpected was that these ghosts were so ferocious and out of control once they came out, and they all died at the hands of Li Kunshan.

Now that all the ghosts have been killed, how can I keep it a secret? My master is about to come back, and I will definitely be beaten to death.

"Brother, calm down, calm down."

Li Kunshan stood by, looking at the more than ten entries added to his personal page, and patted Qiu Sheng's shoulder with a smile on his face.
