Thanks for the invitation, I just entered the chat group after traveling through Under One Person.

Chapter 82: Adventure in the Ghost World (XI)

Su Yun saw Song Shuhang going back and forth to test the ghost forest, and couldn't help but sigh. This was probably the characteristic of the cultivators in the Xiu Liao world. The more they acted recklessly, the faster they became stronger.

The seemingly steady Song Shuhang took almost a year to go from entry level to transcendence, which shows how great the desire for death he had hidden in his heart.

"Brother Yun, you're here." Song Shuhang smiled awkwardly when he heard Su Yun's words.

He had never worried about Su Yun's safety. The other party was so calm and composed in this world, and it was obvious that he was a great cultivator like Venerable Bai.

Song Shuhang noticed Shi Qi, who was emitting a cold aura and had the mark of a copper coin flashing across her face. He asked, "Miss Shi, have you become a ghost tamer?"

"Yeah." Shi Qi nodded. She had just thought Song Shuhang was an ordinary college student. After all, he still had a bit of the innocent stupidity of a college student.

Now that she had witnessed his actions, she couldn't help but recall the words he had said not long ago, warning her not to act rashly.

"Shuhang, did you find any problems during your investigation?" Su Yun asked, looking at the terrifying and bizarre ghost forest in front of him.

Song Shuhang shook his head, then nodded slightly and said, "Everyone trapped in these trees must be a fierce ghost. This ghost forest should be the core of this place. It's very terrifying."

Su Yun focused his gaze on the evil spirits on the black trees. A quick glance revealed hundreds of trees, and more than 80% of these black trees had a ghost hanging on them, or a ghost fused with them.

When he looked at this side from afar, he saw that the area of ​​this black ghost forest was not small, with at least thousands of trees. According to this ratio, there were probably thousands of evil spirits suppressed here.

If the evil spirits here escape, the entire Dashan City will probably turn into a ghost domain and become a purgatory on earth, just like Zhongzhou City which was submerged in the Ghost Lake.

If nothing unexpected happens, this mass grave and ghost forest is the work of a top ghost hunter from the Republican era. It makes one sigh that heroes emerge in troubled times.

During the Republic of China period, the country was far less stable than it is now. At that time, the ghost riders who could stand out were, without exception, outstanding people.

These are only the ghost masters from the Republic of China who have appeared in the original novel and are still alive today. Among those ghost masters from the Republic of China who have died, there are many who are no less powerful than Luo Qian and his friends. There are many more powerful ghost masters from the Republic of China who have disappeared in the long river of history.

To this day, there are still many traces and methods left by the ghost masters of the Republic of China. For example, the Ghost Post Office, the Caesar Hotel... and the Ghost Forest where we are now are also the same. The number of ghosts imprisoned in the Ghost Forest may not be as large as that of the Ghost Lake, but it can be felt that every ghost in the trees here is of high terror level.

"Hmm? No response?" Su Yun pondered as he walked into the Ghost Forest. The branch that had just been chasing Song Shuhang did not respond to Su Yun at all.

He had even walked to the side of a ghost tree and was looking at the half-dead ghost corpse, but the ghost tree still didn't move. Before, from that angle, he could see half a corpse, but now that he got closer, he found that it was indeed only half a corpse.

Suddenly I remembered that during the days when Yang Jian and others were attending the funeral of Old Man Zhang Dong, a terrifying ghost with only the lower body appeared. Now it seems that the upper body here might be the other half of the puzzle of that ghost.

But now is not the time to think about this. Su Yun has to find out why the ghost tree only attacked Song Shuhang and not him.

"Shuhang, did you do anything else just now... ahem, special behavior? It seems like this ghost tree only attacks you." Su Yun walked back without any restrictions.

Brother Yun, what you just said was "seeking death", right? In your eyes, am I, Song Shuhang, a person who likes to seek death?
"That's impossible to say."

"Ah!" Song Shuhang was startled by Su Yun's words and asked in shock, "Could this be the legendary mind-reading technique?"

Shi Qi: “…”

Why do these two characters' styles seem so out of place in this world? They even have the ability to read minds. They've already expressed their thoughts of "do I enjoy courting death" with their expressions, so what's the point of mind reading?

"Ahem...it's a minor issue. You didn't do anything else, did you?"

"No. I just walked over like this, and then..." Song Shuhang said this and demonstrated it himself. As he got closer, the branches of the ghost tree wrapped around him.

That is, the branches of the ghost tree did not move very fast, and the ghost tree that suppressed the evil spirit did not move, so Song Shuhang was able to run away.

"Hey, Shi Qi, right? Come here and try it." Su Yun didn't know the reason, so he called Shi Qi to come over and try it.

"Me too." Shi Qi walked into the ghost forest and was instantly targeted by the ghost trees. The branches wrapped around her, their reaction even more intense than when Song Shuhang approached.

"Could it be..." After the three of them left the ghost forest, Su Yun's gaze lingered on Shi Qi and Song Shuhang. The biggest difference between Shi Qi and him wasn't gender, but the power they wielded. Shi Qi was now a ghost tamer, and his heart flame contained the power of rules, but he wasn't a demon.

The Ghost Forest is specifically used to suppress evil spirits, and the most likely reason is that it is targeting Shi Qi's identity as a ghost rider.

"This ghost tree should react specifically to evil spirits..." Su Yun expressed his guess.

Song Shuhang immediately said, "That's not right. I've checked several times, and I haven't become a ghost rider."

Su Yun: (_) stare~
"Well... you don't have it, but... let your ghost spirit out and see." Su Yun thought of Song Mu. It would be interesting if he played Song Mu to death.

"!!!" Song Shuhang only just thought of the spirit ghost. Because when he entered this world before, it was devoid of spiritual energy, and was filled with a strange power.

At that time, the senses connected to the spirit ghost made him feel chilly, so Song Shuhang temporarily cut off the sensory connection and really didn't know what the spirit ghost was doing now.

Song Shuhang connected with his own ghost spirit, and suddenly a cold aura spread throughout his body. Now he was sure that there was something wrong with his ghost spirit.

Fortunately, he could sense that his spirit-ghost contract was still intact, so he immediately summoned his spirit-ghost. Then, a smaller version of "Song Shuhang" appeared before them.

Kakaka~
"Brother Yun?!" Song Shuhang quickly looked at Su Yun.

Su Yun put away his phone and said calmly, "Sorry, I forgot to turn off the flash."

It’s not Su Yun’s fault that he moved so quickly. The main reason is that Song Shuhang’s ghost spirit now has a very interesting appearance.

The face was very similar to Song Shuhang's, but she was wearing a white cheongsam. The peony flower on the white cheongsam was so gorgeous that it seemed like a blood-stained embellishment.

In the photos taken by Su Yun, it looked like Song Shuhang was wearing a white cheongsam and dressing up as a woman.

"The floating clouds have dispersed, the bright moon is shining on us~ We are happily reunited today and are intoxicated… In the shallow pond, mandarin ducks are playing in the water~" Song Shuhang's ghost spirit number one, referred to as Song Yi, glanced at the few people after being summoned, and began to sing a strange little tune.

The moment Song Yi began to sing, blood oozed from the blood-red peony on her white cheongsam, and black blood flowed from all seven orifices, flowing down the cracks that appeared on her face. The cracks spread across her delicate face, making it look like a piece of shattered porcelain.

Kaka~

Su Yun silently took out his cell phone, still without turning off the flash, and took a few more photos of Song Yi in this form.

Boom!
The copper coin mark on Shi Qi's body became extremely conspicuous for a moment, but was suppressed in an instant, and Shi Qi fell to the ground.

Among the three people listening to the music, Song Shuhang was the one contracted by the ghost spirit, and Su Yun was not affected. He picked on the weak, so Shi Qi became Song Yi's target for displaying his supernatural powers.

"Miss Shi!" Song Shuhang was horrified. He hadn't expected his spirit to suddenly attack. He didn't want to kill innocent people. He quickly went forward to check and found that Shi Qi was still breathing, more like she was asleep.

"Oh~ It's a supernatural power of consciousness. Shuhang, now your spirit ghost has really become a ghost." When Su Yun saw this scene, he thought of the type of evil ghost controlled by Song Yi and couldn't help but make a joke.

Song Shuhang used his ghost spirit to stop the supernatural power. Shi Qi was also a ghost controller. If he was not suppressed by the supernatural power, he should wake up soon.

Song Shuhang's spirit ghost now controls an unknown evil spirit, but Song Shuhang himself is not a ghost driver. However, he has a contractual relationship with the spirit ghost, so he can still drive the spirit ghost. At the same time, he inevitably has the supernatural power transmitted by the spirit ghost, which is why he is locked by the ghost tree.

At this point, Song Shuhang's situation was somewhat similar to Wang Chaling's use of the evil spirit, but the relationship was even closer. It could be seen as Song Shuhang's "external incarnation" controlling the evil spirit.

Judging from the performance, if Shi Qi's state is asleep, then he can pull people's consciousness into dreams. Song Shuhang's dream experience, Song Yi pulling people into dreams, is taking him further and further on the path of the Great Dream Immortal.

"Shuhang, with your ghostly abilities, when you choose a Taoist name or a holy name in the future, you might consider calling yourself Dameng," Su Yun suggested.

It's a pity that there is no title like Immortal Venerable in the Xiu Liao world, otherwise Song Shuhang would be more suitable to be called Great Dream Immortal Venerable. However, when he was at the seventh level, he could be called Great Dream Venerable.
