Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Night at the Inn

"It's too up-and-coming star, and the strain doesn't stop. Exorcise evil spirits and protect your life. Wisdom is clear and the mind is at peace. The three souls are eternal, and there is no loss of soul!"

Just as my body was about to enter the water, I hurriedly recited the "Purifying Mind Mantra" for a while. This mantra is one of the eight great mantras of Taoism, and reciting the mantra can make people feel at peace without being disturbed by ghosts.

After reciting the incantation, my heart instantly became clear and quiet, and the cry in the river disappeared without a trace.

Once I had settled my mind, I turned my head to look back at the drowning child in the middle of the river, who was struggling in the middle of the water, and was replaced by a body soaked in the river, lying on its back where the child had just drowned.

I don't know if it was the effect of the flowing water or some other reason, but the corpse in the river suddenly turned slowly towards me, and a pair of eyes that had already been soaked in the river stared at me.

If it were an ordinary person who saw this corpse, he would be scared to death and lose his soul, but this floating corpse obviously underestimated my ability, and while it glared at me, I also glared at him viciously.

Thump!

After I glared at the floating corpse in the water, I knew that I was not easy to deal with, so I turned over and sank back into the water and disappeared into the river.

After shocking this floating corpse, the other water ghosts in the river also knew how powerful I was, and they all went home in a huff and sank into the river, and the undercurrent moat suddenly became calm.

After solving the water ghost in the river, I let out a long breath, and then I was relieved to carry the human skin lantern, looking for the whereabouts of the old man of the Zhu family on the riverbank.

I knew that there was another evil coming behind the embankment, so I silently took out a scalpel made of human bones from the wooden box of the Heavenly Doctor that I was carrying on my waist, and prepared to strike first.

"Old Man Zhu!"

Just as I was carrying the scalpel and turning around to make a move, I was stunned.

The evil man who appeared behind me was the old man of the Zhu family wearing a black shroud and with pale hair.

The current old man of the Zhu family is a little different from when I first saw him, I saw that his face was pale, his eyes were dilated, and there was a burst of red and black gas in his pupils.

"Old man Zhu?"

I called out to the old man of the Zhu family, and what made me feel strange was that the old man of the Zhu family just looked at the water in a daze and did not answer my words.

Seeing Old Man Zhu like this, I was stunned for a moment, then walked to the old man of the Zhu family with a lantern and said, "Old man, I am Pi Jianqing, and I am here to see you." After speaking, I also deliberately lifted the human skin lantern in my hand and put it in front of the old man of the Zhu family.

The faint blue light illuminated Old Man Zhu's pale face, and Old Man Zhu's black-red pupils obviously flashed a trace of excitement after seeing my human skin lantern, but soon, the trace of different color in his eyes was drowned out by the black-red gas just now.

The expression on the face of the old man of the Zhu family became wooden again, and under my puzzled gaze, the old man of the Zhu family took a stiff step and walked in the direction of the moat step by step.

The things in the river, when they saw the old man of the Zhu family coming, they came out of their heads one after another, looking at the old man Zhu expectantly.

The river, which had originally regained its calmness, became turbulent again with the arrival of the old man of the Zhu family.

"Old Man Zhu, don't go over, there are water ghosts in the water, you won't be able to come up if you go down!" Seeing Old Man Zhu walking towards the water step by step, I hurriedly shouted loudly.

But Old Man Zhu didn't seem to hear my warning, and his stiff steps didn't mean to stop, but walked faster and faster.

As Old Man Zhu had already come to the water's edge, I could already hear the excited panting of those water ghosts in the water.

Worst!

Seeing from afar that the old man Zhu was about to step into the water, I quickly took out a pair of yellow leather gloves from the wooden box on my waist, and after quickly putting them on, I ran to the side of the old man of the Zhu family and grabbed the old man of the Zhu family by the shoulder.

Whew!

As soon as my hand wearing yellow leather gloves touched Old Man Zhu's shoulder, a black and red resentment suddenly burst out of Old Man Zhu's shoulder, instantly corroding my yellow leather gloves.

Call!

Looking at the yellow leather gloves that were still bubbling black and red resentment in my hands, I gasped, and my heart was extremely shocked.

In Feng Shui, resentment is divided into five colors, from weak to strong, which are "white, yellow, black, red, and blue". Because of the insufficient concentration of resentment, white and yellow resentment generally does not form resentful spirits, and only when the resentment is very large, it will turn black, thus forming physical ghosts. And once the resentment turns red, it is a ghost-like existence, and even ordinary feng shui masters dare not provoke it easily. As for the cyan ghosts, they are all terrifying beings that can appear during the day and are not afraid of the scorching sun.

How could the old man of the Zhu family have a red resentment that symbolizes a powerful ghost?

I stared at Old Man Zhu deadly, because I had just pulled my body, Old Man Zhu stopped, slowly turned around and looked at me, a pair of eyes exuding red and black resentment were full of murderous intent, as if warning me not to meddle.

Seeing the appearance of the old man of the Zhu family, I was very puzzled, you know, when the old man of the Zhu family came to me yesterday, his soul was still good, why did the old man Zhu become a powerful ghost in just one day?

After glaring at me, the old man of the Zhu family turned around again and walked towards the river.

The water ghosts in the river couldn't wait for a long time, and they all gathered towards the shore, and raised their pale hands high above the water one by one, wanting to drag Old Man Zhu into the water first.

At this critical moment, I suddenly saw a pair of small red hands around the neck of the old man of the Zhu family, and the small hands were pinching the neck of the old man Zhu and coercing the old man of the Zhu family to walk towards the water.

Ghosts!

Seeing those little red hands, I instantly understood, on the soul of the old man of the Zhu family, there was a powerful ghost attached, and the black-red resentment was not emanating from the old man of the Zhu family, but from the powerful ghost in the body of the old man Zhu.
