The years I was in the human world

Chapter 44: Evil Ghost Body

The evil ghost with the talisman stuck on its forehead suddenly struggled. Its pale and boneless body twisted on the ground like a wriggling maggot. Round and rolling protrusions began to appear on the surface of its skin, as if something alive was crawling under its skin.

The two people standing by the tent watched as the skin on the evil ghost's body was stretched wider and wider, appearing extremely bloated, and then exploded right before their eyes. Under the thin and soft skin were countless round insects that looked like silkworm pupae, but had centipede-like legs on their abdomens.

After the explosion, it scattered around like raindrops. The expressions of the two people who were just watching from the side changed instantly. Xiao Fengzhuo quickly lifted the bed sheet and quilt to block the insects flying towards him.

At this time, a man rushed into the tent with a torch in one hand and a jar of liquor in the other. When he saw the situation in the tent, he raised his head and took a gulp of the liquor without saying a word, and spit it towards the torch. The liquor stuck to the burning torch and directly burst into a huge ball of fire, and then fell on the insects crawling everywhere, burning most of them to death.

The air was instantly filled with a burnt smell. The bugs were dealt with, and the man turned to look at the two of them, saying unhappily, "The bugs are right in front of you, and you're still standing there staring at them. Are you idiots?"

You Rong said this, took another sip of liquor, and dealt with the remaining bugs.

"Why are you here?" Xiao Fengzhuo was a little curious. The evil spirits suddenly invaded and the military camp was in chaos. As Yu Zhao's confidant, You Rong should be busy dealing with troubles. How could he still remember to take care of him and Lu Zhouxue?

"The evil ghosts suddenly attacked, and the general was too busy commanding to take care of other things. I thought you didn't know how difficult it was to deal with the situation, so I came to take a look." You Rong looked at Xiao Fengzhuo with disdain, "Now it seems to be true. The Ten Thousand Gu showed up and are still standing there. If I hadn't come, you two would have suffered a loss."

"Ten Thousand People Gu?" Lu Zhouxue looked at Xiao Fengzhuo. The two followed You Rong out of the tent. As they walked out, Xiao Fengzhuo explained to him, "Ten Thousand People Gu is made from the corpses of ten thousand people and hidden under human skin. It can enchant ten thousand people, so it's called Ten Thousand People Gu. It was originally an evil creature from the ancient Wuxiang Kingdom."

"Since the general led us to defend Rong City, what we fear most is the Ten Thousand People Gu. It is everywhere and can penetrate any hole. Many brothers have lost their lives without knowing it." You Rong chased the few insects crawling on the ground with his feet, gritting his teeth and said, "This thing is not difficult to deal with, but it is extremely poisonous. Anyone who is infected will be killed."

Outside the tent, there was chaos and confusion, with people fighting with evil spirits. Soon, the ground was covered with corpses and ghosts, and blood was flowing like a river. However, it was dark, and there were not many people left who could fight. The black shadows on the ground were still spreading everywhere. Hanged ghosts, headless ghosts... crawled out from the shadows one after another, and the white-skinned ghosts wrapped in the Ten Thousand People Gu exploded one after another.

You Rong didn't bother to say anything more to Lu Zhouxue and went up to help with a torch and liquor in his hands.

"Ah - help, help -" The man who was fighting the evil spirit with a forged sword suddenly screamed, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground. You Rong turned around hurriedly, only to see that the man began to tear his clothes in pain, and the exposed skin surface was densely bulged.

Before You Rong could do anything, his former colleague who used to work with him day and night exploded in front of him, and countless insects flew out of his exploded skin. You Rong's face turned stern, and he spat a mouthful of strong liquor over the fire, burning most of the insects that flew towards him, but a few accidentally fell into his left hand holding the jar of liquor.

As soon as the bugs landed on his hands, they quickly bit through the surface of his skin and drilled in, then began to multiply rapidly. Densely packed small bumps began to appear on his hands, and tended to spread along his upper arms to his shoulders and chest.

Upon seeing this, You Rong threw away the torch in his hand without hesitation, picked up a red-hot forging knife that had fallen into the fire, and swung the knife cleanly to cut off his insect-contaminated left arm. He groaned in pain, his lips turned pale instantly, and cold sweat kept pouring out of his forehead.

Thousands of bugs instantly crawled out of the broken left arm that fell to the ground. After the bugs crawled out, the arm shrank instantly. You Rong looked at the bugs that had eaten up his arm and were now glaring at him. He sneered, kicked over the brazier next to him with his long legs, and the flames licked the ground, turning everything they passed into scorched earth.

Having temporarily resolved the crisis, You Rong breathed a sigh of relief, swayed for a moment, and after stabilizing himself, he picked up his forged sword again to fight the evil spirits. However, they were all mortals after all, and even if these people tried their best, they could not change the one-sided defeat.

Some people had their heads twisted off by hanged ghosts; others had their stomachs ripped open by headless ghosts and their hearts and livers ripped out. The entire battlefield was a horrible sight. You Rong had lost an arm, and it was already difficult for him to cope with the situation, so he couldn't take care of others anyway.

He could only watch his brothers around him die tragically one after another, struggling to break free from the evil spirits that surrounded him. His eyes were bloodshot but he was helpless. He shouted his brothers' names in vain until his voice became hoarse and he even started to cry.

As they watched, the last brother fell down. The evil ghosts who had lost their target all set their sights on You Rong, the only one still standing, who was also at the end of his strength. Countless pale ghost hands stretched out from all directions, pressing on You Rong's head as if to press him into the mud.

The dark shadow under his feet even crawled out evil spirits, grabbed his waist and dragged him down. It was futile for You Rong to struggle. Finally, he looked at Hei Tian who was gradually submerged by the evil spirits in despair, and thought exhaustedly, I have followed Yu Zhao to eradicate evil spirits for so long, is it over now?

She was unwilling to accept this. The reinforcements the general had sent for had not arrived yet. If he died here, who would risk her life for her?

When the sky was about to be completely blocked by the evil spirits, the cold light of killing suddenly flashed on each evil spirit for a moment. The overwhelming evil spirits were all cut into pieces, turning into a ball of chaotic ghost energy, howling and shrinking back into the ground.

The weight on You Rong suddenly lightened. He turned his head and saw Lu Zhouxue's fingertips were wrapped with several silver-white, almost invisible silk threads. She was staring at the battlefield with a cold expression. Her slender fingertips pulled the silk threads to clear out the evil spirits in other places.

Xiao Fengzhuo, who was always carefree, reached out and pulled him up, also with a serious face: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." You Rong shook his head, and then as if he remembered something, he said worriedly, "The general..."

"Don't worry about your general for now." Xiao Fengzhuo threw a bottle of hemostatic powder to him. The scimitar in his hand was already unsheathed. Together with Lu Zhouxue, they sandwiched You Rong in the middle to protect him. They each faced the evil spirits that surrounded them tightly. "Save your own life first."

Even though they knew it would most likely be a thankless task, the two of them still meddled in other people's business. Neither of them was cold-blooded and heartless, so they couldn't remain indifferent.

"Azhuo, take care of yourself." The two of them protected You Rong and fought for a while, but they didn't expect that the evil spirits would grow more and more. Lu Zhouxue immediately put away Tianbai, and made thousands of changes in his hands to make magic spells. His eyes narrowed slightly, his lips moved slightly, his voice was very soft, but his speed was very fast.

Xiao Fengzhuo knew at a glance that he was planning to use a trick to solve the problem once and for all, so he quickly set up a defensive magic circle to protect him and You Rong inside to prevent them from being affected by Lu Zhouxue's magic power.

The dark night sky was suddenly filled with wind and clouds. In the distance, strong winds were blowing on the ground and the earth was shaking. Suddenly, You Rong felt something icy cold falling on his face. He reached out to touch it and found it was a condensed snowflake. Snow was falling from the sky.

"Qiyue Feihua, what on earth are you guys..." You Rong looked at Lu Zhouxue who was standing calmly in the middle of the whirlpool, and murmured as if he was completely lost in thought.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and the frost froze the ground when it fell. The evil ghosts screamed in agony when they were touched by the snowflakes. Soon they were reduced to ashes on the spot, and not even the evil spirit was left. You Rong was definitely not a man who had never seen the world, but had the cultivators in the past ever had such great fortune?

Can such a heavenly ability really be allowed by the way of heaven? Xiao Fengzhuo looked at the strange phenomenon of heaven and earth caused by Lu Zhouxue with a complicated expression. Sure enough, the next moment, lightning flashed in the dark sky, and the next moment it struck Lu Zhouxue directly.

Before You Rong could react to what was happening, Xiao Fengzhuo beside him rushed out first. Ignoring the wounds on his skin caused by the strong wind, he rushed straight into the whirlpool and hugged Lu Zhouxue and rolled on the ground. The next moment, both of them were bounced out of the secret realm and fell into a ball in front of the sexy ghost.

Gongsun Wuyin sat on a chair in the corridor with his left leg bare and his right leg folded over his own. From his feet to his thighs, he was exposed in a lewd and wanton manner. When he saw the two people rolling out, he played with a bamboo flute in his hand and said with a smile: "I originally wanted you two to suffer, but instead you turned my secret place upside down."

Gongsun Wuyin and Yin Ji could see everything the two did in the secret realm from outside, so they naturally knew that Lu Zhouxue had used a spell to cause strange phenomena. Yan Gui looked at him with a complicated look, but she didn't show it on her face. She turned the bamboo flute in her hand and asked the two, "What do you think of the things in the secret realm that you two have seen?"

Lu Zhouxue had already suffered some internal injuries from killing the illusion, and the backlash from the failure of the spell aggravated his injuries. As soon as he fell out of the secret realm, he couldn't help but vomit a large mouthful of blood while holding his chest. Xiao Fengzhuo used his spiritual power to comb his tendons, raised his head and smiled as he replied to Yan Gui's words: "It's good to meet an old friend in a foreign land, but unfortunately we are not familiar with Yu Zhao, so there is really no feeling."

It was a very bland answer. Gongsun Wuyin didn't react much after hearing it. Instead, Yin Ji beside him asked in surprise and eagerness, "Do you two recognize Wei'er?"

"My dear?" Xiao Fengzhuo asked doubtfully. He actually didn't know who Yin Ji was talking about.

"Of course it's our Lady Yin's daughter, Li Niang." Gongsun Wuyin explained kindly, glancing at a certain place meaningfully and said, "You two have been waiting for so long, I think it's time for you to show up. Yu Zhao and Commander Xiao have a gentlemanly friendship, but I have a deep relationship with you two."

Is there anyone else? With such doubts, Xiao Fengzhuo turned his head and saw two swordsmen descending from the darkness. One of them was holding a fainted boy. They were Gu Yin and Baili Changqing.

Xiao Fengzhuo also laughed, thinking that Gongsun Wuyin was quite good at description. One was his biological father, and the other was his master. Isn't that the deep affection between blood relatives?

Baili Changqing handed the unconscious disciple Wei Ruge to Gu Yin to take care of. He squatted down to feel Lu Zhouxue's pulse first, then frowned: "The heart meridian is damaged, and there are signs of demonic possession."

Gongsun Wuyin looked at the people present with great interest, turning the bamboo flute in his hand back and forth, as if he was waiting to see a good show.

"Gu Yin?" Yin Ji stared at the swordsman who had already surpassed the years just by standing there. He was still as handsome and elegant as he was back then.

"Lan Yin?!" Gu Yin was also stunned. The woman in front of him clearly had the same stunning beauty as the one in his memory, but why did she look like a ghost? She looked like an evil ghost who had been holding a grudge for many years. "Didn't you go to the wilderness of Zhuyao to practice? How did you become like this?"

Gu Yin originally came here for his daughter, but unexpectedly he met Li Lanyin, who was full of resentment. He was a little confused for a moment. Why did his wife, who should have been raised well in the wild, appear in Rongcheng and turned into an evil ghost?

"The Wilderness of Zhuyao?" Li Lan looked at him with some doubt and amusement. After so many years, even an evil ghost would have tears in his eyes when they met each other again. She said, "I have been dead for a hundred years. How can an evil ghost go to such an auspicious place?"

“How is this possible?” Before Gu Yin could answer, Baili Changqing, who had just checked Lu Zhouxue’s pulse, retorted, “If you have been dead for a hundred years, then who was the one who personally convicted Zhao after the Dongshan disaster?!”

"Convicted? What happened to my daughter?" Li Lanyin's attention was instantly diverted upon hearing about her daughter. She looked at Baili Changqing anxiously and worriedly to ask about her daughter's safety. "I remember you are her master. How is she now?"

Baili Changqing let her pull his sleeves. Although his face was full of ghosts, his expression of worrying about the child was sincere. He remembered Wei Ruge describing to him how cold Li Lanyin was when he convicted his daughter. He suddenly felt a little absurd. What was going on between this Li Lanyin and that Li Lanyin? At this moment, Baili Changqing actually found it difficult to describe the facts. He looked at Gu Yin for help.

Seeing him evasive, Li Lanyin's heart sank. Still holding on to a glimmer of hope, she looked at Gu Yin and said in a humble tone, "Tell me, my Yu'er, what happened to her?"

"Dear, did you name her?" Baili Changqing thought the question was complicated, so it would not be simpler for Gu Yin. He looked at Li Lanyin's worried face and did not answer the question immediately. Instead, he asked a question first, "Didn't Lanyin dislike her mixed blood and said she didn't deserve the name?"

"How could I say that?" Li Lanyin denied. "So what if the blood is mixed? She is my child, how could I hate her? How could I say she is not worthy of the name?"

She is happy and beautiful inside, and she enjoys her sexual pleasure. How can a mother who wants her to be beautiful and happy and names her child like this say something like "the name is not worthy of her"?
