Hong Kong Ghost Story: I've become an apprentice of Chung Fat-pak and will only play in the pea

With a soft sound, the cyan sword energy brought up a ripple in the water, instantly piercing and shattering the ghost hand.

[Ding! One water ghost has been killed. Reward: 1000 merit points.]

Beneath the pool, there is more than one water ghost.

Countless people died on the offering boats belonging to the ancestors of the fishing village back then, and most of them turned into water ghosts.

These water ghosts, filled with intense resentment, have long lost their minds and will automatically attack and kill any living person.

Ghostly hands or ghostly corpses appeared, trying to drag Lin Xuan to the bottom of the water and never let go, drowning him alive.

A dense aura of ghostly energy emanated from the pool, darkening the entire area.

Countless ghostly hands appeared, pulling and tugging, creating an extremely eerie and terrifying scene!

As Lin Xuan moved around and killed, notification sounds kept ringing in his ears. He had no idea how many he had killed.

These water ghosts aren't very strong; a single strike of the Azure Origin Sword Technique would be enough to defeat them.

[Ding! One water ghost has been killed. Reward: 1000 merit points.]

[Ding! One water ghost has been killed. Reward: 1000 merit points.]

……

Finally, after countless deaths, the water ghosts stopped blocking the way.

In front of Lin Xuan, there was a corpse with chains on it, and a golden key was hanging on the corpse.

"Another demon king!"

Looking at the pale-faced corpse in front of him, Lin Xuan's brow twitched in surprise.

The incredibly dense ghostly aura unmistakably revealed Zhang's identity as the Ghost King.

Lin Xuan could see that the ghost king was in a sealed state, and the thing sealing it was the chains on its body.

The chains were engraved with various runes and looked quite impressive.

As for the golden key, Lin Xuan knew it was the key to unlock the treasure.

To get the key, you must get close to the Ghost King!

"I'm afraid this is a restriction set up by the fishing village. As long as someone gets close, even if they are chained, this ghost king will awaken!"

“Besides the people from the fishing village, they must have some way to avoid the water ghosts and get the key without the Ghost King waking up!”

In the story, the protagonists only managed to get through by sheer luck.

For Lin Xuan, this ghost king blocking his way was not dangerous at all.

"It's just merit points!"

Lin Xuan could instantly kill the Ghost King in its normal state, let alone the Ghost King that was sealed!

The ghostly aura of this ghost king at the bottom of the lake is similar to that of Issey Miyake 210, but not as powerful as the four ghost servants above!

Having been sealed at the bottom of this pool for many years, its strength has probably been reduced to less than one-tenth.

"Thunderclap Finger!"

In the water, a bolt of lightning flashed, and the pale-faced Ghost King with his eyes closed trembled, his divine body instantly shattered by the massive lightning.

The Ghost King's body vanished without a trace, and the chains and key fell together onto the rocks at the bottom of the water.

[Ding! Ghost King defeated. Reward: 10,000 Merit Points.]

A Ghost King with 1 merit points is considered the weakest Ghost King.

Lin Xuan didn't pay any attention, picked up the chain and key, and swam towards the end of the pool.

Upon acquiring the chain, Lin Xuan discovered that it was an eighth-grade magic artifact, barely able to control the Ghost King and significantly suppress its strength. Over time, it could cause the Ghost King to faint, but other than that, it seemed to have little effect.

"No matter what, it's a magical artifact, so take it with you!"

An eighth-grade magic weapon is considered a powerful tool even when given to a master.

puff!

Finally reaching the end of the pool, Lin Xuan climbed ashore and put the chain into his spatial bag.

Having been in the pool for so long, Lin Xuan's clothes were soaked and uncomfortable.

Lin Xuan activated the Great Sun Body Refining Technique, and the heat and sunlight made his clothes very dry.

Only then did Lin Xuan look at the scene before him. Strange rocks resembling long thorns stood in front of him, and there was a narrow path beside him that could only be passed by one person. After a dozen meters, the path ended.

There, there is a stone gate with a keyhole. Open the stone gate and you will find the treasure of the tribute ship and Zhong Kui's sword inside!

"There are traps too!"

Lin Xuan glanced at the middle of the passage, where there was a trap. If you accidentally touched it, you would be crushed by the moving walls on both sides.

At the end of the passage, you can't touch the walls carelessly, and there's a trap coming from above, with iron spears hidden in the rocks above.

If this trap is triggered, the rocks overhead will fall instantly, and iron spears will pierce through, leaving dozens of holes in the intruder's body.

Extremely insidious!

If it weren't for the villagers themselves, they would most likely have fallen victim to the virus.

Unfortunately, these two traps were useless against Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan's five senses were extremely sharp, and he discovered the locations of all the traps in advance.

He slowly walked to the stone gate of Qianjin, inserted the key, and turned it to the left.

Rumble!

The stone gate suddenly moved backward, revealing a wide passage.

Lin Xuan did not hesitate and immediately stepped inside.

Chapter 104 Zhong Kui's Sword! A Huge Swarm of Rats!

The layout inside the passage was not much different from the outside; all that could be seen was a golden light.

Several stone pillars, each as thick as two people, support a circular hall, and in the very center of the pillars are countless gold and silver jewels.

These gold and silver jewels were many times more numerous than those in the cave, with a far greater quantity of gold, radiating a dazzling golden light.

Various pearl necklaces and rare treasures were scattered on the ground.

If these jewels and gold were sold, their total value would definitely exceed one billion.

"The entire fishing village has used up so much wealth over 300 years. No wonder the ancestors of the village risked their lives to do such a thing!"

"Too much money, completely blinding them!" Lin Xuan thought to himself as he glanced at the items.

The jewelry section was cluttered with various gold, silver, and precious stones, and it was clear that much of it had already been used up.

Even so, the total value of these jewels still reached one billion yuan, which gives you an idea of ​​how many treasures were on the tribute ship!

Lin Xuan ignored the gold and silver jewelry and walked to the back. Soon he saw a neatly arranged sword box behind a stone pillar.

The sword case has an antique design and is covered in dust, indicating that it has not been opened for a long time.

It sat quietly behind the stone pillar, as if it had been abandoned.

Lin Xuan was overjoyed, knowing that he had found Zhong Kui's sword, and quickly stepped forward to open the sword box.

Inside the sword case lay a three-foot-long, ancient sword, complete with its scabbard and gleaming with spiritual light. Beside it were three coins meant to suppress corpses.

The corpse-suppressing money exudes a strong yang energy and shines with spiritual light; it is also a magical artifact!

"Three corpse-suppressing coins are all sixth-grade magic artifacts. No wonder they were able to greatly weaken the Qin corpse's magic power!"

A sixth-grade magic weapon is already quite powerful!

Lin Xuan's Seven Star Sword is only a sixth-grade sword!

These three corpse-suppressing coins are actually of the same grade as the Seven Star Sword!

The Seven Star Sword is a treasured sword capable of severely injuring or even killing the Ghost King!

Lin Xuan recalled the function of the three corpse-suppressing coins in the plot and nodded to himself.

After the corpse-suppressing coins were injected into Qin's corpse, each injection would cause Qin's corpse to lose one of its abilities.

The first bullet shattered the Qin Corpse's ability to fly, the second disrupted its mind, driving it insane, and the third directly destroyed its indestructible body.

If the three corpse-suppressing coins cannot be driven into Qin's corpse, even Zhong Kui's sword will not be able to break through Qin's corpse's defenses!

Of course, this is why ordinary people cannot break through Zhong Kui's sword.

Without the blessing of spiritual energy, the Zhong Kui sword cannot unleash its true power!

Moreover, for cultivators, there are many ways to defeat the Qin corpse, and it is not necessarily necessary to have the corpse-suppressing money and Zhong Kui's sword!

Three corpse-suppressing coins cannot permanently strip the Qin corpse of its magical power; they only have a short-term effect.
