Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 26: Water Ghost. (First update!)

This sound...

Zheng Que's expression suddenly became solemn. There were four voices speaking, all of them were children's voices that had not yet changed, and it was impossible to tell whether they were men or women. But there were only two people in the Cui family, and Cui Fugui was right next to him!
Moreover, the content of these words... Cui Fugui's daughter is in danger!

At the same time, Cui Fugui, as if he hadn't heard anything, walked up to the door, knocked on it, and shouted, "Nier, open the door quickly! Zheng Que has been invited in!"

The yard was silent, and Trinelle didn't respond.

Cui Fugui was suddenly a little surprised and was about to shout again when Zheng Que strode forward and kicked the wooden door hard.

boom!
The wooden door suddenly opened, and half of the broken bolt fell out from behind the door, revealing an empty yard.

The yard is not big. Some dried vegetables are drying on the compacted mud ground. There is a well with old railings in the corner.

Looking at this scene, Cui Fugui was obviously stunned. When he went out to look for Zheng Que just now, he specifically asked his daughter to wait behind the door and open it for him. But now, how come his usually obedient daughter was nowhere to be seen?

At this moment, Zheng Que walked quickly towards the well and said quickly, "Uncle Cui, just stand where you are and don't go near the well!"

As he spoke, he had already walked to the well and looked down into it.

At the bottom of the deep well, a girl in a coarse cloth dress was soaking in it and struggling desperately. Her arms, hands, and feet kept sliding across the mossy well wall, splashing water, and it looked like she had fallen into the water.

However, in the vision of [Spiritual Vision], Zheng Que saw that the girl was being held in the water by four children with blurred faces and wet bodies.

One child held the girl's feet and dragged her into the bottom of the well; two children grabbed the girl's struggling arms to prevent her from floating to the surface; the last child pulled the girl's hair and pressed her head firmly to the bottom of the water to prevent her from making any sound.

These four children looked somewhat familiar, and they were surrounded by a gloomy aura, like black smoke, which turned the bottom of the well pitch black.

Four water ghosts!

It’s all the second level of [Tongue-Pulling Prison]!
Just as Zheng Que stretched his head to look at the bottom of the well, one of the water ghosts suddenly raised his head, and his cold and sinister eyes instantly locked onto Zheng Que, and his mouth, which looked like melted wax, opened immediately.

The next moment, a water arrow shot out from the mouth of the water ghost, whistling straight towards Zheng Que's face!
Zheng Que's face changed and he leaned back quickly.

Whoosh!
The water arrow passed by Zheng Que's forehead, just missing his eyebrow!

Zheng Que couldn't help but feel shocked. Although the Yin energy of these four water ghosts was only at the second level of [Tongue-Pulling Prison], the water was their home turf, and they could exert a strength close to the third level of [Tongue-Pulling Prison].

Just as he was thinking this, Qingli next to him suddenly extended his arms, like a poisonous snake coming out of a hole, and instantly grabbed into the well.

Wow…

The water in the well was churning and stirring continuously.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh whoosh...

Dense water arrows immediately shot out from the bottom of the well.

The well mouth was narrow and cramped, and Qingli's arms had no way to dodge, and were instantly hit by numerous water arrows. However, a surge of Yin energy surged through her body, and her arms were intact and not hurt at all.

Wow!
Immediately afterwards, Qingli's arm, which was submerged in the water, seemed to have caught something and was immediately pulled back.

A thin figure was forcibly pulled out of the well. It looked like a human child, but its body was pale and melted, and its blurred face was hideous and distorted, filled with ferocity and hostility.

As soon as the water ghost was pulled to the shore, it opened its mouth and a translucent water arrow shot out, heading straight for Qingli. Puff!
Qingli raised her hand to block the water arrow, and her face suddenly turned cold. A thick hemp rope suddenly circled the water ghost's neck and hung it high.

At the same time, Qingli immediately grabbed the water ghost's legs and then exerted force suddenly.

Sizzle!

The water ghost was torn into pieces in an instant like a piece of cloth being cut.

The evil energy surrounding the water ghost quickly dissipated, and the water ghost's head and limbs fell to the ground in pieces, quickly turning into a pool of clear water, sinking into the soil and disappearing.

Seeing Qingli quickly deal with a water ghost, Zheng Que was certain and immediately said, "Save the person first."

As he spoke, he immediately performed a series of strange spells.

Qingli snorted coldly and was about to continue attacking the water ghost in the well, but suddenly her body turned uncontrollably into a streak of blood light, sank into Zheng Que's hand, and then turned into dense black and white lines, appearing on Zheng Que's skin.

These lines surged and converged towards the side of Zheng Que's neck, like thriving roots, surrounding a pale and beautiful girl's face.

【Spiritual Descent Technique】!
Seeing Zheng Que suddenly use this technique, Qingli was stunned for a moment, then immediately became furious: "Human child! Quickly let me control your body!"

Zheng Que ignored Qingli and immediately leaned over to look into the well.

At the bottom of the well, the water surface was still shaking slightly, and the remaining three water ghosts were still holding the girl's body tightly. The girl was suspended in the water, her hands and feet had stopped moving, and she obviously had no strength to struggle.

When the three-headed water ghosts noticed someone appearing at the wellhead, they immediately raised their heads and opened their mouths, and water arrows shot out, locking onto half of Zheng Que's body.

Whoosh...

Zheng Que had just dodged a water arrow with great difficulty, but now with the help of the [Spirit Descent Technique], his speed and reaction became extremely fast. He immediately raised his fist and punched at the water arrow that was shot at him.

bang bang bang...

Fists blew everywhere, and all the water arrows were shattered into water droplets, falling back into the water. One of Zheng Que's arms suddenly grew larger, and in the blink of an eye, it fell into the well water and grabbed the girl's wrist.

Immediately afterwards, Zheng Que exerted force suddenly and lifted the girl out of the water!
Wow…

The moment the girl was pulled up, the three-headed water ghost still held on to her hands and feet tightly and was pulled out of the water together.

Taking advantage of the moment when the three water ghosts escaped from the well, Zheng Que focused his eyes, and a hemp rope appeared around the neck of one of the water ghosts, instantly hanging it up.

At the same time, Zheng Que's other arm also stretched out quickly, grabbed the water ghost that was pulling the girl's hair, and immediately controlled it.

Then, Zheng Que opened his mouth, but the voice that came out was that of a child: "Don't run away! Come and save us!"

This is the voice of the water ghost that Qingli just dealt with!

Hearing this sound, the last water ghost immediately let go of the girl's feet and pounced towards Zheng Que at the wellhead.

Just as Zheng Que was about to make another move, the Qingli head next to his head suddenly popped out, its neck stretched out like a python, and it rushed into the well, biting the neck of the last water ghost!
