Over the years, compared with the demons outside the Great Wall, supernatural events were just minor incidents, and some would disappear on their own. Therefore, most people in the Tang Dynasty believed that there were no ghosts in this world, and most of them were just storytellers' bluffing stories.
Gu Xinyue used to think so too. She admitted that there were cannibalistic aliens outside the Tang Dynasty, which were the legendary demons, but she did not admit the existence of ghosts.
It was not until she saw the water ghost's body with her own eyes that she realized she was wrong.
After living in peace for so many years, Gu Xinyue gradually stopped caring about ghosts. Now, when she suddenly heard the topic of ghosts from Gu Jiu's mouth, she was really scared.
But she thought about it and questioned, "How could a young boy like you know about ghosts? Are you kidding me?"
Gu Jiu raised an eyebrow and said, "Mom, although I've been lazy over the years, I'm not stupid. There's no such thing as an impenetrable wall. Do you think I don't know about the water ghost I encountered not long after I was born? After I learned about the existence of those filthy creatures, I've collected a lot of information over the years."
Gu Jiu lied so naturally and without blushing or beating his heart, that he even fooled Gu Xinyue, a veteran.
You know, he has been busy sleeping these years and has no time to check those things.
"What's going on with Xiaoxiao?" Gu Xinyue couldn't help but ask anxiously.
So Gu Jiu made up a story, saying that when he was jealous, he accidentally heard about the haunted Liu Mansion. When he saw Gu Xiaoxiao missing yesterday, he was naturally worried, so he went to look for her. Unexpectedly, he found Gu Xiaoxiao unconscious on the street outside the Liu Mansion.
In addition, Gu Xiaoxiao has no memory of herself fainting on the street. Could it be that she was possessed by a ghost?
As for why Gu Xiaoxiao was in his bed, this was easier to explain. After he hugged Gu Xiaoxiao back, he was so tired that he fell asleep directly.
After hearing Gu Jiu's story, Gu Xinyue was skeptical, but she felt that it was not entirely fabricated.
Being so tired that he fell asleep directly on the bed was indeed in line with Gu Jiu's style.
As for the fact that he fought many rounds of ghosts in Liu's mansion to save Gu Xiaoxiao, Gu Jiu naturally did not say anything.
He was not exaggerating when it came to ghosts of that level. He was probably the only one in the entire Linshui Town who could handle it. Anyone else who went there would just be waiting for death. This was also the reason why Gu Jiu had never thought of reporting to the police.
The ghost was obviously holding a grudge, so the fewer people who knew his whereabouts, the better, otherwise his family might be implicated.
According to Gu Jiu's guess, this ghost must have a personal grudge against the Liu family, otherwise it would not specifically target the Liu family and their relatives and friends.
Although the north is desolate, there are many sects for practicing Buddhism. If the waves caused by ghosts are too big, it may cause a disaster of killing.
Gu Jiu guessed that as long as most of the people in the Liu Mansion were dead, the ghost would probably leave the town.
It’s better to have less trouble than more, after all, his back is not in good condition.
Gu Xinyue, who was skeptical, quickly sent people to investigate. After learning that the entire Liu family and some relatives and friends had been wiped out, she had to believe Gu Jiu's statement even more.
She knew the seriousness of the matter and strictly required Gu Xiaoxiao not to go out during the recent period. Even at night, she sent a maid to guard outside.
Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly felt like she was shot in the back, and for several days she ignored Gu Jiu, who had caused her misfortune.
Of course, one of the reasons was that she blushed and her heart beat fast when she saw Gu Jiu.
Gu Jiu was also helpless about this, but he did not take it to heart.
If you keep everything in your mind, how can you sleep well?
After the Liu Mansion encountered ghosts, Gu Jiu actually still felt a little oppressed.
Lack of energy became his biggest obstacle. If he had no problem with energy, he could have fucked that straw man to tears.
No, it's just fucking to death!
If you meet me again next time, I will make sure you know what a genius is!
A genius who beats everything!
"Oh, why is it so tiring to just shout slogans?" Gu Jiu just finished sighing and started snoring on the rattan chair.
……
The news of the Liu family being exterminated gradually spread throughout the town, and even the government could not suppress it.
Many townspeople were afraid of suffering a devastating disaster, so some moved away, while others went to live with their relatives, preparing to return after the situation in the town stabilized.
So very quickly, the originally bustling Linshui Town suddenly became much quieter.
According to legend, there are many deserted towns and villages further north, all of which were abandoned for this reason.
The entire Liu family was wiped out, and their relatives and friends were also implicated. The ghost stories were no longer just bluff stories told by storytellers, but facts.
So even those who stayed in the town lived in fear.
A few days later, Yanyang City sent an army of 100 people to garrison in the town, and the panic eased a little.
That evening, Gu Jiu was sleeping in the yard as usual, and then he heard a knock on the door.
Now everyone in Linshui Town is in danger, every household has its doors closed, and even fewer people are visiting relatives and friends, so when they heard the knock on the door, the servants were a little nervous.
Finally, a courageous female servant walked over and asked, "Who is it?"
A moment later, a female voice was heard outside the house. "It's me, Lv Qingfang, the town's head constable. Sorry to bother you."
After hearing that it was the captain of the police, the servant opened the door and sent someone to report to Gu Xinyue.
Gu Jiu looked up and found that behind the well-maintained female constable was a middle-aged nun.
The middle-aged nun glanced at Gu Jiu, then quickly walked towards the hall.
Gu Jiu immediately felt that this middle-aged nun was a little strange, and thought to himself, "I'm so handsome, why did she only take a glance at me?"
Chapter 20 I Have a Sword That Can Kill Ghosts
Lu Qingfang brought the middle-aged nun to the main hall and explained their purpose to the head of the family, Gu Xinyue.
Gu Xinyue naturally had great respect for this nun from Taohua An.
Because although Taohua An is small, it is also a sect for spiritual practice.
In this secular world, the cultivation sects are always superior, no matter how big or small.
After seeing the emerald green sword in the main hall, the nun Suyun raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "I didn't expect there would be a magic sword here."
Hearing this, Gu Xinyue immediately raised her chest and said proudly, "My daughter is studying at the Yunshan Sword Sect. She brought this back a few years ago."
The nun Suyun bowed and said, "Congratulations, benefactor."
Yes, in a place like Linshui Town, it is possible for a sect disciple to emerge, and a disciple of a big sect like Yunshan Sword Sect. No matter how you look at it, it is a matter of honor for the family.
Not long after, Nun Suyun and Captain Lu Qingfang left.
After learning that there was no evil spirit in the house, everyone in the Gu family, who had been depressed because of the Liu family massacre, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Gu Jiu was still sleeping, as if he had no interest in such things.
But when the nun left, he opened his eyes.
At this time, Gu Xing was standing next to him, squeezing a pimple.
Gu Jiu looked up and said, "Brother Xing, I want to discuss something with you."
Gu Xing immediately jumped aside and asked in panic, "What are you doing?"
He is now a little afraid of Gu Jiu. Every time Gu Jiu causes trouble, he is always punished.
For example, in the last incident between Gu Jiu and Gu Xiaoxiao, not only was Gu Jiu not punished, but he was put in solitary confinement for a day. Don’t you think that’s unfair?
Gu Jiu waved his hand and said, "Can you help me get the sword in the main hall?"
"Fuck! You're crazy!" After hearing such scary words, Gu Xing ran away.
The sword at home is about to become a house treasure and a family heirloom. If I go to get it, won’t my mother beat me to death?
So Gu Jiu could only sigh, stand up, take out a wine gourd from under the rattan chair, and then walk out the door.
After leaving the house, Gu Jiu looked at the sky and couldn't help but sigh, saying, "Damn, can't we just let people rest for a few more days?"
Then he closed his eyes and stretched out his right hand.
The next moment, the nearly invisible energy of heaven and earth began to spin between his fingers like silk threads, which was very beautiful.
After a few breaths, a green sword flew out from the mansion like a swimming fish and fell into Gu Jiu's hands.
Gu Jiu wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "If I had known it would be so tiring, I wouldn't have tried to be so cool."
Taking the sword from a distance is the most basic form of sword control, and only practitioners at the fifth level of the Divine Mind Realm can do it.
If you want to take the sword from a distance, you must first use your telekinesis to plant a sword fruit on the spirit sword.
However, growing sword fruits is a very lengthy process. Establishing a connection between the sea of consciousness and the spirit sword is more troublesome than forging a thousand swords from scratch.
It would take an ordinary practitioner at least several years to complete it, and even the top genius practitioners would need half a year, so it took Gu Jiu a whole incense stick of time to complete it two days ago, which made him very tired.
At this time, Gu Xing, who was standing in the hall of Gu Mansion, was as pale as paper and kept rubbing his eyes.
Yes, he was afraid that Gu Jiu would do something bad to the sword in the hall, so he planned to go and take a look, and report it if anything happened.
But as soon as he came in, the sword disappeared!
He remembered very clearly that he did not take a detour. At that time, Gu Jiu was still sleeping on the rattan chair at the back. He had looked back several times to confirm it.
But why is the sword gone?
Could it be that this sword grew wings and flew away?
Looking at the empty walls in the hall, Gu Xing's whole body froze. He decided it would be better to leave first, otherwise he would get into trouble.
But just as he was about to turn around, a majestic voice sounded behind him - "Gu Xing, what are you doing sneaking around here?"
Gu Xing was so frightened that a pimple on his forehead burst, and he said in a trembling voice, "Mom."
……
Gu Jiu, holding a sword in his right hand and dressed in clean white, walked on the street and found that Linshui Town was much more desolate.
It was only dusk at this time, and there were few people on the streets. The doors of every house were closed, and even the female gangsters with good figures were gone.
After investigating the houses in the town, Nun Suyun said goodbye to the captain of the police, Lu Qingfang, and walked out of the town.
After hearing that the dirty thing was not in the town, Lu Qingfang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and rubbed her plump chest.
She has been under great pressure during this period. So many people died and the town was in ruins. If some more problems occurred, the town would be almost finished.
Fortunately, there was the nun Suyun from Taohua Temple, who prevented her from feeling despair.
At this time, Lu Qingfang couldn't help but want to drink a pot of wine and then have a good sleep.
It has been a long time since she last rubbed her man's slim waist. If she doesn't work harder, Miss Wang next door will not be a pushover.
Nun Suyun left the town and walked straight to the abandoned pier.
The reason why Linshui Town is called Linshui Town is because the town is next to a big river. Before the wharf was abandoned, it was quite lively.
The dock has been abandoned for decades, and the weeds around it are half a person's height, so it looks very desolate.
This road is closer to Taohua Temple, but Nun Suyun doesn't want to go back to the temple now. She has other things to do.
But at this moment, she heard a clear sound of footsteps coming from behind. She raised her brows and stopped.
She turned around and saw a handsome young man in white clothes, holding a green sword in his hand and slowly walking towards her. Who else could it be but Gu Jiu?
Nun Suyun raised her eyebrows and bowed, "Young Master Gu is also going to cross the river?"
Gu Jiu smiled slightly, which was very nice, and said: "No, I save ghosts."
After hearing these words, the nun Suyun's face turned slightly cold. In the afterglow of the setting sun, half of her face was dim and the other side was dark, giving people a gloomy feeling.
But she quickly revealed a smile and said, "Saving ghosts? Master Gu, do you also want to become a monk? Unfortunately, my Taohua Temple does not accept male disciples, and we do not provide small scissors."
Taohua Temple is a temple, so it is normal that it does not accept male disciples.
What's more, many sects in the world that are not nun's do not accept male disciples because men have too poor talents. Even if there are occasional outstanding ones, their potential is generally limited and they soon become ordinary.
This is why more and more sects no longer accept male disciples. They are afraid of wasting resources.
Gu Jiu raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at the nun Su Yun, and said, "Stop pretending. There are not many people here. It's not best to take action."
At this moment, Nun Suyun couldn't help but reveal a sinister smile. She said, "I heard from my sister that she suffered a loss at your hands. Seeing you today, I think you're indeed quite good. How did you find me?"
Gu Jiu yawned and said, "I'm too lazy to explain. It takes effort to talk."
In fact, the reason why Gu Jiu discovered that there was something wrong with the nun was because of the smell.
Although Gu Jiu suffers from kidney deficiency, a body with kidney deficiency is still a body with kidney deficiency, so his nose is still quite sharp.
That day in the attic of Liu's mansion, the scent of peach blossom mixed with the smell of blood of the straw man ghost was very special. He initially thought that the fragrance of peach blossom was brought by perfume. Later, after asking many people and confirming that there was no peach blossom scented perfume on the market, he guessed that the smell was brought by the ghost.
Today, when this nun had just entered the room, he felt that the smell was a little familiar. When he thought of the human skin on the bed that day, he couldn't help but think of some ghost stories covered with human skin.
Moreover, this nun only glanced at him once from the time she entered the Gu Mansion to the time she left, which made Gu Jiu even more certain of her identity.
