Chapter 59: The Transformation of the Wraith Ghost

  I didn't dare to move, afraid that if I startled the ghost, it would jump down directly. But I watched as the young man walked by, already reaching out to untie the seven-star knot. I hoped the ghost would spare the head nurse. I sighed inwardly and closed my eyes, not wanting to look anymore. I had almost seen the head nurse splattered into a pulp in my mind's eye. From the 11th floor, I didn't doubt it for a moment - even intact bones wouldn't be found if she fell.

  But I didn't hear the nurse's scream, only a "bang" sound, and then the young man's curse: "Son of a bitch, I'll kick you to death!"

  I was stunned, and when I opened my eyes, I only saw the nurse being thrown to the ground. The young man's face was furious as he kicked the nurse violently. It was then that I realized this young man wasn't a good guy either, and his hands were ruthless. I didn't know what had happened earlier, but I could guess. Probably the young man hadn't been fooled, just pretending to be confused, while the ghost's brain was slowed down by the talisman. Naturally, she didn't notice anything wrong and waited for him to come and rescue her. But when the young man came over, instead of rescuing her, he pulled her back with the seven-star cloth and threw her to the ground. This was a good kick. I think the young man might have guessed that it was the ghost's doing, but all he knew was that the nurse had done something wrong. In his memory, he had bumped into the nurse and then ended up here, so there must be some problem in between. He vented his anger on the nurse, poor thing.

  I was stunned for a moment, and it wasn't until Wang Jing pushed me that I came to my senses. I struggled to get up, still feeling a bit of pain, with one hand covering my crotch and my face looking terrible. I walked stiffly in front of the young man, constantly taking deep breaths, and managed to squeeze out a smile: "Hand it over to me."

  The young man smiled at me, then handed over the Seven Star Treasure to me, and finally spat at the head nurse: "I didn't expect it, brother was bold since childhood, dare to calculate that I would fall into your hands, you have a good fruit to eat."

  I'm speechless, today I lost to this reckless guy, with a thought, he just whispered the magic spell of his actions, and saw that the seven-star helmet had shrunk, wrapping up the entire nurse, at this point even if someone wanted to untie it, they wouldn't be able to, only then did I feel at ease, so I sat down in the chair to catch my breath.

  The wailing ghost let out a mournful cry, but I ignored it. The pain was still unbearable. Zhang Qianqian and Wang Jing stood guard beside me, fearing the ghost would play another trick. However, the young man didn't leave; instead, he looked at me with great interest, glancing at the Seven-Star Hoop on the ground. His gaze suddenly fell upon the Soul-Ringing Bell on the ground, and he picked it up with a smile: "I say, are you a Taoist who practices magic? Is this woman possessed by a ghost?"

  I took a glance at the young man, and I really didn't have the mood to pay attention to him, so I didn't say anything. But then that young man saw me ignoring him, yet he just stood there with his eyes fixed on the void, and suddenly let out a "hmmph" sound: "Honestly, you're far from what I imagined a Taoist would be like, and you don't even have the demeanor of a superior being... and almost got your little brother beaten up..."

  At this, the young man himself burst out laughing, not caring how embarrassed I was. It didn't matter if he was tall or short, but being told that was really humiliating. My face felt hot with shame, and I didn't expect the young man to laugh a few times, then suddenly wave his hand at me: "Since you don't want to deal with me, I won't force it. I'll just leave first."

  As I saw the young man turn around and leave, I was stunned for a moment, then suddenly stood up and exclaimed: "Return that bell to me, it's mine!"

  The young man turned back, a sly glint flashing in his eyes as he sized me up: "So you're willing to talk to me, huh? Well, I'll give the bell back to you, but I'm quite fond of spiritual things. If you can teach me something, I'll return the bell right now. How about it? Otherwise, I'll leave immediately."

  My face twitched, this was Chi Guo's threat. However, I wanted to get the Soul Ring back and it seemed like I had no choice but to agree first. Just as I was about to open my mouth, the young man winked at me: "Think carefully before speaking, you cultivators must fulfill your promises, or there will be consequences."

  This guy is so shameless, but he said one thing right, whether it's Buddhism, Taoism or Confucianism, they all emphasize not to speak recklessly, that is, not to talk nonsense, because of the cycle of cause and effect, things that are promised but not fulfilled will definitely have consequences in the future. So, the more people cultivate the Tao, the more they pay attention to their words and deeds. I looked at the young man's face twitching, and suddenly asked: "What's your name?"

  The young man unexpectedly was still very alert, seeing me ask his name, he shook his head vigorously: "You won't answer me and I won't tell you, you think I don't know you'll use underhanded tactics, when the time comes you'll find out my name and use underhanded tactics to deal with me, I'm not stupid."

  I almost laughed at how ridiculous it was, what kind of person would I run into, and yet there are people like this. I let out a sigh: "Alright, I'll agree to teach you some things, and I'll take you on as my honorary disciple. I absolutely won't go back on my word, I will definitely teach you something. You can rest assured, I'm a man of my word, or else I'd be haunted by karma."

  The Soul Bell was given to me by my Master Uncle, and I must get it back, otherwise I won't be able to explain myself to him. However, I also had an ulterior motive, since there are so many people around and I couldn't speak clearly, I just said I would teach him some things, but what exactly I would teach is up to me, depending on my mood. This little brat fell into my hands, if I didn't take this opportunity to vent my anger, that would be strange.

  The young man didn't expect me to agree so readily, and instead looked at me with some suspicion, his mind also wavering for a moment. He scratched his head, feeling that agreeing was too easy, as if he might be being taken advantage of. For a moment, he hesitated: "Are you serious?"

  "I've already sworn, but you still don't believe me. However, let me make it clear to you that how much I'll pass on to you depends on your character. If you have a good heart, I'll pass on more to you; if you have an evil heart, even if it means breaking my oath, I won't pass anything on to you. The ugly truth is that the first rule of accepting disciples is to examine their character, which is more important than their innate abilities. Otherwise, the harm will be great."

  "Hey, little master, don't worry, I'm Huang Kai, the kindest person, always happy to help others, love helping old ladies cross the road, often donate money to poor mountainous areas..." Huang Kai smiled brightly, and as soon as I said that, he put his heart at ease, and with a smile, handed over the Soul Ring to me, but still seemed reluctant to part with it: "This must be a treasure, don't know when you'll give me one or two, hehe..."

  After taking the soul bell, I finally breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Huang Kai's sunny smile: "I keep my word, I will never deceive you, hey - see how I play with you to death. Threatening people is not a good habit, and taking advantage of someone in danger is even less so."

  Huang Kaiyi was stunned, and at that moment he was stupidly standing there. I finally found the pleasure of taking the upper hand, and hummed: "Now you quickly go buy me some cinnabar and a brush, hurry up - go!"

  Huang Kai was taken aback, his face full of weirdness, but he responded with a sound and ran to buy cinnabar. After all, there is a pharmacy in the hospital, and as for the brush, he has a way. I want cinnabar and brush to drive out the ghost from the head nurse's body, otherwise, we can't keep her trapped forever.

  I didn't get Huang Kai back at the first time, but unexpectedly met two familiar people. Previously, a doctor had called the police, and the one who received the call was Zhang Jianchen, but I don't know why Mu Qing was with him. When Zhang Jianchen saw me, he was also taken aback for a moment, but then smiled: "Brother, you're okay."

  He nodded slightly, and the iron green on his face had already faded away. He forced a smile: "It's nothing, how did you get here?"

  "This isn't just right on time," Zhang Jianchen looked at the head nurse on the ground, and was actually full of curiosity: "Brother, what happened here, is it that thing again?"

  I nodded, and couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh: "Not bad, this time not only did my master come, even my uncle, great-grandmaster and others came, who knows maybe in a bit there will be more, you help me take care of things."

  Zhang Jianchen nodded and began to arrange for the police to clear the scene. After all, some things were not suitable for others to see. However, Zhang Qianqian and Wang Jing refused to leave, hiding behind me instead. I waved my hand at Zhang Jianchen: "They don't need to be involved, we owe them one today."

  I felt that Mu Qing had been paying attention to me all along, but remembering Master's words, I didn't even glance at her. Not long after, Huang Kai returned, hungry, but was blocked by the police outside. Anxious, Huang Kai shouted at me: "Young Master, they won't let me in——"

  As soon as I nodded in recognition, I added a sentence and let Huang Kai come in. Huang Kai glanced at Zhang Jianchen and Mu Qing beside him, then turned to me with a flattering smile on his face, holding cinnabar and a brush in his hand. This speed was beyond my imagination, but there was no time to think about these things. I took a deep breath, mixed the cinnabar with water, and then said to Huang Kai in a low voice: "You hold her down for me, I want to drive out the evil spirit."

  This task is very suitable for Huang Kai, as soon as he came up and pressed down with one hand, the force was quite strong, I was relieved, recited the magic spell to open the Seven Star Cauldron, then grabbed the nurse's long legs, dipped the brush in cinnabar, silently recited the nine-character true mantra, closed my eyes and opened my heavenly eye, and saw that the evil spirit in the nurse's body presented a ball of dark mist. I took a deep breath, with the recitation of the nine-character true mantra, the brush touched the soles of the nurse's feet, then moved up along her legs, the divine thought poured into the brush, as the cinnabar attached to the nurse's body, forcing the evil spirit to retreat upwards continuously. I kept pointing at the nurse's body, slowly forcing the evil spirit to the top of her head. At this time, looking again, the nurse's head seemed to have turned black, with a grayish-black complexion. However, at this time, the evil spirit struggled even more fiercely, unwilling to leave the nurse's body, otherwise there would be no barrier. But as the brush touched the nurse's Yintang and Baihui points, the evil spirit could no longer stay, transformed into mist and escaped from the nurse's ears, looking like smoke coming out of the nurse's head.
