Do you really think you can get me with just a banana?

As soon as the sun rose, Chen Bing hurried over with his servant.

The time was neither too early nor too late, for fear that if I came too early the female ghost would still be there, and if I came too late I would miss the opportunity to subdue the female ghost.

People rushed over and saw a group of young people with scars all over the ground, but there was no trace of the female ghost.

Chen Bing was overjoyed and quickly bowed to all the disciples. He clasped his hands together and thanked the sun repeatedly, saying, "Bless the Buddha, bless the Buddha, the female ghost has finally been eliminated. Thank you all, monks. Little leg, go to the east wing and see if the young master's fever has subsided. Little stool, go and get the bounty for the monks. Today I must..."

"Mr. Chen." Before Chen Bing could finish his words, he was stopped by Yan Ruchen. He apologized, "The female ghost has not been dealt with yet..."

Chen Bing said in disbelief: "Everyone is so injured, could it be that after a fierce battle, you subdued the female ghost? Could it be..."

Yan Ruchen continued to apologize, "We fought for a while, but we didn't subdue him..."

Upon hearing this, Chen Bing cried out and was about to faint. The servants rushed forward to support him. When he regained his footing on the ground, he burst into tears of grief and cried out loudly, "What should I do? Is my son really hopeless?"

Hu Qi took a step forward and answered firmly, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, we won't leave until we get rid of this female ghost!"

The disciples beside him echoed, "Yes, yes."

Chen Bing's eyes welled up with tears as he asked sincerely, "How do you monks plan to eradicate this?"

The disciples fell silent. Hu Qi said awkwardly, "I haven't figured out a solution yet..."

Chen Bing cried out again and was about to faint. Guan Shanyu, who was watching from the side, had a headache and was a little too hungry to bear it. He reminded him, "Yuanwailang, you see, we are all injured. We have been busy all night and are tired and hungry. Why don't you have a meal and rest, and then think of a way to deal with her tonight."

After all, everyone is exhausted after a night of this. Instead of saying "there's no way" and "my son is dead", it's better to fill your stomach first.

As soon as the disciples heard about eating, their stomachs immediately started growling. Reminded, Chen Bing pointed a trembling finger at the servant and ordered, "Quick... take the monks to dinner. Help me lie down for a while. Ouch, I have a headache."

But when they really got to the dining hall, apart from Guan Shanyu and the other two disciples from Lingcaoxuan and the disciples from Xuanshuangju who were eating with relish and were so hungry that they wanted to lick their bowls clean, the rest of the people hardly touched their chopsticks.

The female cultivators of Ziwei Society, whether they were trying to maintain their figure or were frightened by the female ghost last night, chewed a few vegetable leaves and then could not eat anymore. Hu Qi, Guan Shanyu and several disciples of Tianjian Pavilion gathered around to discuss strategies.

Guan Shanyu buried his head in the food bowl and ate voraciously, with the idea that "if you are not active in eating, there is something wrong with your thinking". Anyway, if the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. If he doesn't eat now, the food will be eaten up soon. The lesson of last night was not enough. A group of people were gathered around the delicious food and were not moved at all. Could it be that the NPCs were really magical creatures who were really focused on the plot and would not get hungry?

He will not go hungry and will work hard. If he were in modern times, he would be a very good worker, almost like a perpetual motion machine.

Guan Shanyu was struggling to eat while Yan Ruchen and the others seemed to have not reached an agreement and called out to him. Guan Shanyu did not hear him at first, but when Hu Qi held up the skull and placed it in front of him, he was so scared that he almost spit out his food. Hu Qi said angrily, "How did you find this skull?"

Guan Shanyu's mouth was stuffed full of rice, and he mumbled the truth: "After I fell into the dry well, it was right at my feet."

Hu Qi said, "Is there nothing else?"

Guan Shanyu said, "It's gone. It was pitch black when I fell down, and I couldn't see anything clearly. I only discovered it when I tripped over the head. I really don't know anything else."

Hu Qi continued, "Ruchen suspects that this skull is related to the female ghost. After all, one has no head and the other only has a skull. Think about it carefully."

Guan Shanyu swallowed his food and said, "Hmm... Is that so? I really don't know. I didn't see anything else. How about you go down and take a look?"

Just as he finished speaking, a disciple suddenly stood up and slammed the table excitedly, saying, "Anyway, this is an evil ghost. Whether the head is hers or not, she deserves to die for causing trouble in someone else's house. We didn't catch her last night because we didn't set up the formation carefully enough. We will add a few more layers of talismans later. Can it be that with so many of us, we can't kill a mere evil ghost!"

"That's right! Brothers, are you full? If you are, get up and work!" Several other disciples echoed excitedly, slammed their bowls and chopsticks and decided not to eat.

Guan Shanyu and the group of Xuanshuangju disciples ate their meals in silence. He glanced at Yan Ruchen, the current backbone of the group.

He pondered for a moment, then turned his head to Guan Shanyu amid the crowd's angry shouts. Guan Shanyu immediately avoided his gaze and continued chewing his rice with his eyes closed, but he heard a voice in his ear asking, "Shanyu, what do you think?"

What the hell? What do I think? You're the main character in this scene, bro. I don't have any lines at all. I'm not Yuan Fang, and you keep asking me what I think!

Guan Shanyu silently swallowed a mouthful of rice and shook his head, saying, "Hmm... I don't have any opinion."

Yan Ruchen stared at him for a moment, then nodded as if he had made up his mind. He then packed up his things, discarded the skull, and said in a deep voice, "Okay, then let's set up the formation to eliminate the evil spirits."

Guan Shanyu was startled and his chopsticks dropped to the ground. He clearly remembered that this was not the plot. After Yan Ruchen found the female ghost's head, he should have dug up the body. Why did he just throw the skull aside? He couldn't defeat her by force!

Guan Shanyu immediately stood up and looked at Yan Ruchen with a serious expression.

Yan Ruchen and the others had just stood up with their swords on their backs when they saw Guan Shanyu's unusual behavior. Hu Qi and Chen Rongrong thought he was having a seizure again, so they glanced at him and left. However, Yan Ruchen stopped and looked at Guan Shanyu in confusion and asked, "What's wrong? Why do you look like that?"

Guan Shanyu was in great turmoil, knowing that if they did not follow the original plot, not only would they not be able to defeat the female ghost, but the plot might even deviate further. Not only would he not be able to return to the real world, but he would even be in danger of being a happy poor peasant in this world.

After thinking about it, Guan Shanyu immediately said righteously: "I think there is something wrong with this head!"

Chen Rongrong looked at him angrily and said, "I asked you if you had any suggestions just now, but you didn't tell me. You only told me after we decided to leave. Why don't you speak more slowly and wait until we die before telling me."

Guan Shanyu coughed and said seriously, "Don't you think this head looks familiar? That female ghost has no head, and this head just happens to have only a head. Maybe it's hers. That female ghost wanders to the west wing every day, maybe she's looking for something, like her own body..."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned. Hu Qi raised the corner of his mouth slightly, with a bit of surprise: "I underestimated you. You look silly, but at the critical moment, you think the same as Ruchen."

Nonsense, don't you see who designed the plot? You are stupid. Guan Shanyu smiled and asked carefully: "Why don't you go to the west wing and take a look?"

Yan Ruchen replied: "I accidentally fell in there last night. There was nothing inside except some old furniture."

Guan Shanyu reminded again: "What about underground? How about digging?"

Before they could answer, Chen Bing's crying could be heard from outside the door. They turned around and saw that he staggered in, followed by a young woman holding a crying baby. The two of them were crying so hard that it was truly breathtaking.

Chen Bing stepped over the threshold while crying and said, "Why are you digging up my land again? Fellow cultivators, please don't mess around. If your abilities are limited and it's hard to exorcise the ghost, I can always find someone else. I will never tell anyone about your affairs."

One disciple said angrily, "What if the person's body was separated and the resentment could not be dissipated, so he turned into an evil ghost and wandered around your house all day? Let's go and dig it out. If there really isn't one, we can just re-lay the floor tiles in the right place."

Mrs. Chen explained anxiously, "We can't do that, fellow monks. The west wing is where my master's father died. We have a folk tradition that destroying the deceased's house is disrespectful to the deceased. Please don't make things difficult for us."

Hu Qi said, "Which is more important, folklore or your son's life? Look at his face, it's burning red."

Chen Bing wiped his tears, puzzled, and said, "But even if the female ghost's body is in the west wing, putting them together will drive away the evil spirit. But wouldn't it be the same if you just killed the evil spirit directly? Why bother digging up my land?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, their minds unable to react for a moment, and they actually thought what he said made sense. Yan Ruchen, however, explained, "Exorcism is essentially about transcending the dead. If the resentment is truly due to the separation of the body, even if we kill the evil spirit directly, the remaining body will affect your family's feng shui, which could at best change your fortune, or at worst destroy your family."

Madam Chen was displeased when she heard this and questioned, "Little cultivator, please don't talk nonsense. You're just trying to scare me by saying my family will be destroyed. If you really can't do it, we can just find another immortal sect."

When the other disciples heard that their sect was being questioned, they all stood up and started arguing.

Guan Shanyu saw that everyone was about to quarrel again, so he quickly explained, "Don't worry, Mr. and Mrs. Yuanwai. The female cultivators here have the ability to cultivate spirits. If we can dig out a complete corpse, we can use it to communicate with the spirits and find out what happened. This will help us better exorcise the evil spirits. Otherwise, if there is suspected half a corpse buried under our west wing, you will not be able to sleep well, right?"

Although this was true, when Guan Shanyu said this, not only did Chen Bing and his wife refuse repeatedly, but even the female cultivators of Ziwei Society were completely defeated. They all stood up and refuted, "We cultivators don't ask about corpses. Besides... Besides, don't you also have to chant the Calming Mantra at Lingcaoxuan? Don't you have any spiritual mantras?"

Yan Ruchen calmly analyzed, "Even if the corpse isn't that of the female ghost, if there are other deceased people in this house, they can point out what happened. If there are other vengeful spirits in the yard, they can be eliminated as well. Sometimes the dead are more honest than the living."

Chen Bing and his wife still tried to stop them, crying, "It's unfair. The monks don't catch ghosts but want to demolish my house." The scene was filled with a lot of quarrels. Guan Shanyu was at a loss when he suddenly heard a loud noise outside the house.
