My experience of grinding in another world

Chapter 113 Ghost
"Wasn't she killed by Jie Jia?!" Chen Mu was furious.

"Could it be that they're planning to charge you a second time and are deliberately holding back?!" Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.

He encountered such a shady merchant when he repaired tires for small electric vehicles in his previous life.

They fixed the inner tube, but wouldn't remove the wire stuck in the outer tire. It got punctured again three to five days later, and I had to go back to them!

The thought of this possibility made Chen Mu furious!
Suppressing his anger, he tried to remain calm. He stared intently at the long-haired woman and said cautiously in a low voice, "We have no past grudges or present animosity; you don't need to be watching me."

"I'll go my way, and you can go yours, and you see..."

A wave of foul-smelling cold air suddenly assaulted Chen Mu.

The little paper figure on his forehead made a rustling sound as it was blown.

Chen Mu's face immediately turned ugly.

"I move frequently, I'm always careful, and I even look back every few steps when I walk at night, just to avoid running into people like you. I've been avoiding you all..."

"My past life was that of an honest scholar, and I'm just a homebody."

"We're all good people!"

Chen Mu stared at the ghostly figure in front of him.

"Aren't you all evil spirits seeking revenge for every grievance?"

"The scions of powerful families have committed numerous evils, yet you do nothing to deal with them!"

"I'm just an ordinary, good person, yet you keep targeting me!"

"That's right, you're not ghosts who follow the rules of revenge and retribution at all. You're just a bunch of evil creatures who bully the weak and fear the strong, and aid and abet evil."

Chen Mu's face showed dejection.

"You made me realize once again how cruel and abhorrent this dog-eat-dog world is."

Chen Mu looked up expressionlessly.

"My life is right here; come and take it if you dare!"

woo woo woo...

Countless iron lotus seeds suddenly shot out.

The long-haired woman's figure suddenly vanished.

The iron lotus shot through the air, striking the opposite wall and leaving a dense array of holes.

The next moment, a cloud of black smoke suddenly appeared in front of Chen Mu, like a cannonball, carrying a huge impact, and slammed heavily into Chen Mu's chest.

Caught off guard, Chen Mu was sent flying and crashed violently into the wall behind him.

boom!
The blue brick wall immediately shattered, revealing large spiderweb-like cracks.

Well!
Chen Mu groaned, and drops of blood spurted from his nostrils.

Black smoke suddenly dispersed, flowing rapidly past his sides and disappearing into the wall behind him in an instant.

Before Chen Mu could recover, a force no less powerful than before suddenly struck his back.

Chen Mu was immediately sent flying into the air.

He tried to turn his eyes back, but all he could see out of the corner of his eye was a wisp of black smoke that suddenly disappeared behind him.

Before he could even land, black smoke appeared out of thin air in the air to his left. The next instant, the churning black smoke crashed into Chen Mu without any hesitation.

boom!
Chen Mu's figure resembled a rag doll carelessly tossed out, spinning in mid-air as he was thrown out of the room.

The wooden window shattered instantly, like a thin, crisp biscuit.

Chen Mu, who had lost his balance, was about to fall heavily, but he twisted his waist and swung his legs strangely in mid-air, like a cat falling from a tree, and adjusted his posture lightly.

boom!
With dirt flying everywhere, Chen Mu slightly bent his knees and landed steadily.

He suddenly looked up and stared intently at the broken window.

A large plume of black smoke slowly drifted out of the window.

The black smoke plume was at least one meter in diameter, with smoke billowing left and right above it, and wisps of black mist constantly disappearing and reappearing at its boundary.

The ghostly spirits are tangible yet intangible, adept at creating terrifying illusions, possessing and stealing bodies, absorbing souls and causing death.

hum!
The black smoke suddenly disappeared from its original spot and reappeared in front of Chen Mu.

boom!
A pair of large, jet-black hands opened wide, firmly sealing off the area in front of him.

The billowing black smoke seemed to have been stopped, firmly blocked in mid-air.

Chen Mu stared at the black smoke so close at hand, grinned, revealing blood-stained crimson teeth: "Got you!"

The next moment, he turned his hands into claws and fiercely grabbed into the smoke in front of him.

The black smoke, which had originally been ethereal and like drifting clouds, gave Chen Mu a cold, slippery sensation, as if he were grasping the tentacles of an octopus. Accompanied by a sharp, piercing screech, the black smoke trembled violently, and a tremendous force erupted from his palm.

Even with his power honed through four rounds of training, he still couldn't stop his tightly clenched hands from slowly being stretched apart.

With blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, Chen Mu watched as his fingers, which were tightly gripping the black smoke, were slowly pried open, yet he laughed maniacally.

"You want my life? I'll knock out all your teeth!"

"Five Ghosts Moving Mountains!"

The five paper figures that were pressed against the head instantly floated to the forehead.

Then it suddenly spun around, like a black drill bit, and abruptly pierced into the black smoke in front of it.

squeak...

Like a knife scraping glass, a sharp, teeth-grinding explosion suddenly erupted.

hum!
The black, smoky ghost vanished instantly.

Chen Mu immediately withdrew the five ghosts, pressed them tightly to all parts of his body, endured the pain in his internal organs and back, and cautiously scanned the courtyard.

A crescent moon hangs high in the sky, its watery moonlight bathing the courtyard.

All around was silent; the hissing of insects had disappeared.

The air, which should have been sweltering, was unusually filled with a chilling coolness.

After a long while, Chen Mu finally confirmed that the suddenly appearing ghostly monster had indeed disappeared.

Even so, Chen Mu still dared not be careless, fearing that there might be other evil spirits in the courtyard.

He didn't dare go into the room. He took two spirit sand pills and sat in the pavilion courtyard, enduring until the sun rose the next day before he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

……

"The ghosts dislike sunlight and are nocturnal. Once the sun comes out, they'll probably be fine."

Chen Mu lifted his shirt. His chest was covered in bruises.

Even just moving my arms causes a sharp, needle-like pain in my back.

My left arm was also unbearably sore and swollen, covered in bruises.

When he was knocked out of the room last night, it was his left upper arm that was hit.

"Luckily, I practiced the form four times." Chen Mu was still shaken.

Without the enhanced physical strength gained from four training sessions, even the ghostly monster would have killed him.

"No wonder only those with the highest level of the Armored Soul technique can barely survive against evil spirits."

Power can touch ghosts and monsters.

Without armor covering the entire body that is impervious to swords and spears, one simply cannot withstand the physical impact of the Yin Ghost.

"And it can't stop the most troublesome possession and body-snatching."

Chen Mu spread out the paper, and a cloud of black smoke billowed out, revealing a small paper figure.

Last night, five paper figures were stuck to his head; it was these that successfully prevented him from being possessed by a ghost.

This is also why Chen Mu initially dared not use the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain technique.

Once the paper figure leaves the body, it may immediately be possessed and die.

Only after he used his courage to firmly grasp the Yin spirit did he dare to use the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Spell to devour the Yin spirit.

Chen Mu looked at the little paper doll covered in red threads with a complicated expression: "No wonder it's called the Ghost Paper Doll."

The billowing black smoke shifted between reality and illusion, gathering and dispersing unpredictably.

The Five Ghost Paper Dolls behave exactly like the Ghostly Monsters.

The Thousand Mountains Classic also records that making the Five Ghost Bag requires the use of yin spirits as materials.

"Should have thought of it earlier."

He took out a blood-activating and stasis-removing ointment from the Five Ghosts Bag and applied it all over his body.

He took another Ling Sha Wan pill to treat the internal organ injury.

Chen Mu sat quietly in the pavilion to recuperate. It wasn't until noon, when the sun was at its strongest, that he got up and went inside to tidy up the messy room.

Looking at the walls covered with spiderweb-like cracks, Chen Mu felt fortunate to be alive.

If he had been even slightly careless last night, he wouldn't be alive today.

"Jiejia! Your sins are grave!"

If the old man hadn't held back, would he be in such a miserable state now?
