Cultivating Immortality from the Book of Life and Death

Chapter 10 The Missing Pages.

It’s Master’s voice!

Zheng Que came back to his senses and immediately realized that there was nothing wrong with his [Ghost Controlling Technique], the problem was with his spiritual blood.

Thinking of this, he quickly turned around, bowed to the dilapidated temple, and respectfully replied: "Thank you for your guidance, Master!"

After saying this, Zheng Que thought for a moment, raised the hand with the characters drawn on it, pointed his palm at the female lead again, and said in a low voice, "Collect!"

The moment he finished speaking, he clenched his five fingers like a cage, and the woman turned into a streak of blood and disappeared into it.

Zheng Que felt as if he was holding a wisp of cold air in his hand, invisible and intangible, but the chill penetrated his bones.

He nodded slightly. The decree could summon the "ghost", which proved that his [Ghost Controlling Technique] was very successful. However, this "ghost" was too weak in the daytime...

Seeing that his master had no other instructions, Zheng Que bowed again to the dilapidated temple before taking his leave.

After a while, he returned to his residence.

Just like before, Zheng Que quickly opened the door and went in, then immediately pulled the bolt behind him.

The room was exactly the same as when I left, with cold pots and cold stoves, and a lot of debris thrown on the floor, which had been casually pushed aside to avoid affecting walking. The whole environment was very messy.

Zheng Que ignored all this and walked straight into the inner room. After putting his shoes in order, he quickly sat cross-legged on the bed and began to practice.

The master just told him that his spiritual blood contained too much Yang energy, and the "vengeful spirit" during the day could not bear it. If he wanted to catch another "vengeful spirit" to practice the [Ghost Taming Technique], he could only act at night.

Although there are many wandering ghosts in this small town during the day, as long as you are alert and keep a distance from them, you can basically avoid them safely.

But once it's night...

Ghosts are rampant, and there are evil spirits mixed in. Ordinary people will die if they go out!
The survival experience passed down from generation to generation in Changfu Town is that you must return home before dark! Moreover, after returning home, you must close the doors and windows tightly and try not to make any noise. No matter what noises you hear at night, you must not investigate and pretend that you know nothing. Even after dawn, you are not allowed to discuss anything.

This is also the reason why the "calling ghost" wanted to tear down the house, but the neighbors never responded and had no intention of asking about the situation.

Although Zheng Que is now a cultivator in the Qi training stage, it is still very dangerous to go out at night.

Therefore, he now needs to improve his cultivation strength as much as possible.

While thinking, Zheng Que's mind had already sunk into that chaotic space, concentrating on catching wisps of cold air...

Time passed bit by bit. Half an hour later, Zheng Que seemed to realize something. He immediately opened his eyes and saw the dilapidated palace again.

Just like before, he sat on the lame armchair, and on the mottled long table was placed the spread-out [Book of Life and Death].

At this moment, Zheng Que suddenly felt a strange touch on the palm of the hand that had drawn the characters before. He subconsciously opened his palm, and the originally cold and soft touch suddenly turned into a beam of blood light and shot out from his hand.

Whoosh!
The blood flashed as fast as lightning and immediately fled out of the main gate of the palace.

However, at this moment, new characters began to appear in the blank spaces of the [Book of Life and Death] in front of Zheng Que: "...Qingli. Native place: Tuzhou, Dali Dynasty... Life span: sixteen years, hanged at midnight."

The next moment, the bloody light suddenly stopped, as if it had lost all its power in an instant, and fell directly to the ground, transforming into a graceful, slender girl in white. Her long hair was still loose, and the mess covered her face, making it difficult to see her features clearly.

Looking at this sudden scene, Zheng Que was slightly startled, and then he realized that this dilapidated hall space had an effect similar to the night!
The "ghost" could not bear his spiritual blood in the daytime, but in this vast and dilapidated hall with gloomy winds, it could.

besides……

Zheng Que looked at the palm of his hand. In the real world, the pattern on his palm that looked like an insect or a bird and had an ancient atmosphere seemed to be a kind of text, but he could not recognize what the word was. But in this space... it was the word "Ling"!

This text is of the same type as the special text on the [Book of Life and Death]!
Thinking of this, Zheng Que looked at the girl in white. She was lying powerlessly on the ground. Her thin body seemed too weak to bear the weight of her clothes. She couldn't even get up for a while.

Zheng Que didn't hesitate. He immediately turned his palm, pointed at the girl in white, and shouted, "Hey!"

The moment the [Ghost Controlling Technique] was used, the woman who had been lying on the ground and unable to move seemed to have regained her strength and suddenly jumped straight up!

A cold wind swept across the whole hall, blowing away her thick hair, revealing a pale and beautiful face with curved eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a jade nose and cherry lips. Perhaps because she was too thin, her waist was slender and too thin to be held in one hand. Her whole body was as thin as paper. There was a kind of gracefulness in her frown, but her bloodshot eyes were filled with strong murderous intent and hatred.

After quickly looking around, she seemed to have not found any target to attack. She slowly turned her head and looked at Zheng Que who was sitting in the main seat in a daze.

[Ghost Controlling Technique] can be used!
Observing the woman's behavior, Zheng Que couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It is too dangerous to go out at night. Now that the woman is fine, he doesn't need to go out tonight.

Thinking of this, Zheng Que shifted his gaze away from the woman hanging and began to study the [Book of Life and Death] in front of him.

The [Book of Life and Death] is currently still on the first page. There are a total of thirty-seven names on it. The first one is his own name, the last line is the name of the female Diao Qingli, and the remaining thirty-five are the resentful thoughts that make up the "Calling Ghost".

Zheng Que reached out, turned the page and looked at the second page.

The second page was blank. The slightly yellowed paper was empty, with nothing on it.

He turned to the third page, the fourth page...

Soon, Zheng Que discovered that only the first page of this [Book of Life and Death] had words on it, and the other pages were all blank.

Not only that, when he turned to the ninth page, he found that there was nothing behind it, only a few traces left on the spine, and the rest of the pages had all been torn off!

Seeing this, Zheng Que frowned immediately. This [Book of Life and Death] was something from the underworld. If nothing unexpected happened, it should have recorded the names and life spans of all living beings in the world.

However, no one knows what happened later, and now this [Book of Life and Death] has become an empty book, and countless pages have been torn off...

While thinking, Zheng Que turned the [Book of Life and Death] back to the first page, and his eyes looked at the thirty-five names that made up the "Calling Ghost".

If His Highness's mistress can appear in this dilapidated hall, why can't these thirty-five resentful ones?
Is it because in the real world, the evil spirit of "Calling Ghost" has been dispersed by myself?

Just as he was thinking about it, a panicked voice, mixed with a little dullness, suddenly reached his ears: "Sir, sir, I am innocent!"
