In ancient times, there was a deity named Kua Fu, who was most famous for chasing the sun. The sun is the Golden Crow, and how could Kua Fu ever catch the Golden Crow? In the end, Kua Fu died from exhaustion. After his death, he threw down his staff, which transformed into a Peach Orchard.
After Kua Fu's death, a spirit emerged from the peach blossom forest. This spirit coveted Kua Fu's essence and attempted to abandon its own to control Kua Fu's essence.
However, Kua Fu was an ancient god and could not be controlled by such a being. As a result, this spirit not only failed to obtain Kua Fu's essence but also lost its own.
Having lost its essence and unable to gain Kua Fu's, the spirit had no choice but to turn its greed toward human corpses.
This type of ghost is known as a Corpse-Feeding Ghost! It is a ghost that occupies the bodies of others!
Corpses contain Corpse Qi, which over time transforms into Corpse Poison. For humans, Corpse Poison is as deadly as eight-year-old pesticide. Therefore, once a Corpse-Feeding Ghost appears in the human realm, it must be sent straight to hell.
I think this funeral home is about to become very popular; how many times has it been haunted here? Once for me, once for Master Song, once for his son, and now this time.
The morgue's freezers opened automatically, and all the corpses that had been frozen inside stood up stiffly.
I felt a bone-chilling cold rush toward me. Now, more than half of the freezers in the morgue had opened, turning the entire morgue into a large icebox.
"Miao Miao, step back." I reached out to protect Lin Miaomiao while pulling out my Azure Robe and Peach Wood Sword from my Seed Bag with my other hand.
"Earthly Profound Sect Myriad Qi Root, cultivate for eons to prove my divine power. Within and beyond the three realms, only the Dao is supreme. My body shines with golden light, reflecting upon me; unseen by sight and unheard by sound. It encompasses the earth and nurtures all beings. Reciting it once brings light to my body; guardians of the three realms and five emperors welcome me. All gods pay homage; commanding thunder strikes fear into ghosts and demons; spirits lose their forms. Within lies thunder; the Thunder God remains unnamed; wisdom penetrates thoroughly; five energies soar. Golden light manifests to protect the true person; swiftly as Jade Emperor's light descends with decree."
Using the Golden Light Spell, I drew a circle on the ground with golden light, enclosing Lin Miaomiao, Master Song's son, and his brother within it.
"Director, it's true that we are haunted now! I saw with my own eyes the corpse I was about to wash stand up! What should we do?"
Just as the fight was about to begin, someone approached the entrance of the Morgue, seemingly leading another person along with them.
Taking a closer look, it was one of the workers who had previously washed the bodies. Wasn't he scared off by me before? After standing up, he went to find the Director of the funeral home. "Director, I've been here for half my life. Have you ever encountered a ghost there? Take me to see it."
The body washing area was adjacent to the Morgue. The Cleaner led the Director over, and as soon as they entered, they witnessed a body crawling out of the freezer.
"Director, did you see that?" The Cleaner turned his head stiffly to look at the Director.
"I saw it," the Director replied calmly.
"I'm haunted," the Cleaner said with a quivering voice.
"You're right," the Director answered still composed.
Without wasting any more words, the Cleaner turned and ran away, while the Director remained steady in place. Truly a leader—calm and unflappable even when faced with danger!
Just as I was praising him, the Director swayed slightly. "Don't faint on me; I'm in the middle of complimenting you."
With a loud crash, the Director collapsed onto the floor; he had been scared unconscious.
"Quick, pull him into the circle too." I held my forehead and instructed Lin Miaomiao to help bring the Director into the circle.
Lin Miaomiao grabbed the Director's feet and pulled him into the circle.
Skipping over this interlude, I turned with my sword to face the Corpse-Feeding Ghost and Greedy Ghost. Although their names contained the word "ghost," using an Exorcism Talisman on them wouldn't work. The only way to deal with them was to trap them in the gourd given to me by Yama King.
The gourd given to me by Yama King is actually a treasure of Zhong Kui, who used it to capture ghosts in the past. Later, when Zhong Kui was promoted, he no longer personally caught ghosts, but his gourd remained a good tool for ghost-catching, so it continued to be passed down.
However, even though I have a way to subdue the ghost in front of me, my two fists are no match for four legs. It would be better for me to find a few helpers.
Red Boy and his group are out of the question, but then I remembered that Yama King had equipped me with a few assistants. I took out a Spirit Talisman; I had discussed it with Yama King, and as soon as I burned this talisman, someone would come down.
With a puff of blue smoke rising, four strong men appeared before me: Dynasty grabbed a folding stool, Ma Han weighed a brick in his hand, Zhang Long pulled out a wine bottle, and Zhao Hu carried a baseball bat.
Dynasty, Ma Han, Zhang Long, and Zhao Hu are four elite soldiers under Bao Gong, and they are also the violent enforcers of the Underworld.
"What do you want us for?" Dynasty asked in a deep voice.
What else could I ask you to do but help me wash dishes?
"Go on, ghost, get to work," I said, gesturing toward the ghost in front of us.
The four of them charged forward. To be honest, these four are tougher than ordinary thugs; they are Ghost Messengers from the Underworld and aren't afraid of causing casualties. The bodies in the icebox were basically frozen solid and very brittle. With a bit of force from these four, limbs were broken and bodies were mangled. By the time they stopped, none of them were intact.
The Greedy Ghost was dumbfounded; he was just a money-loving ghost and not overly excessive. He didn't even qualify to descend into hell and had never seen such intimidation before. He was so scared that he stood frozen in place, trembling as he was bound by the Taiji Diagram.
"How about it? Are you ready to surrender now?" I taunted the Greedy Ghost.
The Greedy Ghost turned around and pleaded for mercy: "Please just take me in; I can't handle this beating."
Using virtue to subdue others doesn't work when you're outmatched! This is an example. I lifted the gourd and captured the Greedy Ghost inside it, saving him for when I next visit the Underworld to send him back to hell.
Looking at Dynasty Ma Han Zhang Long Zhao Hu, everyone was holding a ghost in one hand and carrying another on their shoulder, tossing the ghosts into my gourd one by one.
Only one Corpse-Feeding Ghost remained on the field.
Ghosts are classified by levels, and even within the same type of ghost, there are distinctions. The Corpse-Feeding Ghost left on the field is much stronger than the ones subdued by Dynasty Ma Han Zhang Long Zhao Hu.
"There's still one left, brothers. Can I have this one?" Wang Chao said, holding a folding stool at his waist while addressing the other three.
"That's not fair! Big brother, you can't bully us younger ones!" Zhao Hu said, resting a baseball bat on his shoulder. "This one belongs to me."
"You all had your fun before; can you let this one be mine?" Ma Han said, flipping a brick in his hands while casting a cold glance.
The three brothers began to argue, while only Zhang Long stood by silently.
"Why aren't you fighting for it?" I asked Zhang Long.
"I can't fight," Zhang Long replied, raising his hand. "My wine bottle is already broken."
Wow, this guy's 'weapon' is broken; no wonder he isn't competing.
"You really think I'm an easy target?" The only remaining Corpse-Feeding Ghost sneered from across the field, suddenly transforming into a Black Light and darting out from its original corpse, rushing into Master Song's body.
Oh no, this is trouble. I can't just destroy his corpse in front of Master Song and his son, can I?
"Hey, still trying to be slick?" Wang Chao lifted the folding stool to swing it.
"Leave this to me." Ma Han raised a brick to smash.
"What are you talking about?" Zhao Hu swung a baseball bat.
Oh no, I can't let these guys go in. If they really smash Master Song's body, how am I supposed to face Master Song?
"Hey, you three, just take a break." I quickly stopped the three of them. "I'll handle this myself."
"That's not acceptable; we haven't had our fun yet," Dynasty Ma Han and Zhao Hu said in unison, while Zhang Long watched coldly without saying a word.
"Alright, you don't need to worry about this. Just go back; I will definitely speak well of you in front of Yama King." I raised my hand to draw the passage to the Underworld and pushed the four brothers inside.
After sending off those four Brawlers, I held the Peach Wood Sword and looked at Master Song.
"Can you come out on your own?" I negotiated with him. "There's no point in us fighting; even if I don't catch you, those four guys from earlier will come after you."
"Less nonsense." The Corpse-Feeding Ghost pulled out a blood-colored Dagger from somewhere. "You will die."
What benefit do you get from killing me? I dodged the blood-colored Dagger. Honestly, with that knife, anyone would avoid getting cut. Why? It's too slow!
Forget about how old Master Song is; his body has already started to slow down, not to mention how long he has been kept in the freezer.
I only started dodging when the knife was right in front of my nose, and even then, I still had time to sidestep and jump beside the Corpse-Feeding Ghost.
"Hey, where are you aiming that thing?" I patted the Corpse-Feeding Ghost on the shoulder.
"I'll chop you!" The Corpse-Feeding Ghost raised its knife again.
I lightly deflected it with my wooden sword, knocking the Corpse-Feeding Ghost's blade aside. I thrust the wooden sword forward, aiming directly at Master Song's heart.
If it were any other ghost, this would have pierced through. However, the Corpse-Feeding Ghost is a special case. Why? Because the Corpse-Feeding Ghost is not afraid of Peach Blossom Wood. It was born in the Peach Blossom Forest created from Kua Fu's staff, so how could it fear this?
The Peach Wood Sword was ineffective, the Exorcism Talisman had no effect, and the Octagonal Taiji had already been used.
The Octagonal Taiji can only be used once, and it had already been employed to bind the Greedy Ghost, so it was no longer available.
Although the Corpse-Feeding Ghost moved slowly, its strength was immense. It raised its hand and swept my Peach Wood Sword aside, driving the knife straight toward my chest.
I grabbed the Corpse-Feeding Ghost's hand. Its strength was overwhelming, pushing the knife inch by inch closer to my chest.
"What's wrong? Can't do anything now, can you?" The Corpse-Feeding Ghost looked at me sideways.
"If you come at me again, I'll call those thugs back."
