Chapter 223 Why does Lin Sui always make him feel panicked and afraid?
The woman was indeed provoked, which caused her to become demonic prematurely.
If Wang Tengda and Wang Yuefeng weren't here, the people of Luohua Village would probably just die right after finishing their feast, just like every other night before.
Trapped in this day, they experience the agony of death every night.
This was neither a curse nor something they did voluntarily.
Logically speaking, as time goes on like this, their resentment should only be deeper, greater, and stronger than that of Luo Rulan's mother.
Lin Sui did not sense any resentment from them.
Even Luo Rulan's mother, the woman shrouded in ghostly energy, didn't have much resentment about her.
But they were indeed born of resentment, otherwise they wouldn't be bound here and become earthbound spirits.
"Bound spirit?" Upon hearing this new term, the diligent and studious Lu Xiang immediately pulled out a book on metaphysics and flipped through it. "It's a spirit whose range is limited after death, bound to that place?"
Lin Sui nodded: "These kinds of spirits often harbor resentment that cannot be resolved, and thus become evil spirits."
Mao Yang suddenly realized: "So, there might not be a Yin-gathering and ghost-nurturing formation here, and the choice of this exploration site is just a coincidence?"
"That's not certain yet," Lin Sui shook her head.
Whether it's a coincidence or not, the entire Luohua Village must be inspected.
As Lin Sui was thinking, the demonized woman suddenly lunged at Wang Tengda and viciously bit his shoulder.
"Ah! You damned bitch!" Wang Tengda roared back, but his attack missed.
"It's you! You're the one who caused me to end up like this. Today I'm going to tear you to shreds!" the woman roared angrily, her sharp claws mercilessly piercing his stomach, tearing his soul in two like a rag.
Si Xingran whistled excitedly: "Wow, I actually saw ghosts fighting. Today was worth it."
He nudged Li Ye with his elbow again: "Big Head Bing, do you have anything to eat?"
"Are you absolutely going to eat this today?" Lu Xiang glanced at him sideways.
Si Xingran said confidently, "Watching the show without eating sunflower seeds or snacks is like watching for nothing!"
Li Ye actually brought food.
He took out a packet of homemade pork jerky and handed it to Si Xingran.
Si Xingran smiled and revealed a small tiger tooth: "I knew you had one. That's why Master Lin praised you, saying that marrying you is a blessing."
"This was prepared for Lin Sui. Here you go again." Li Ye's temple twitched, and he reached out his hand expressionlessly.
Si Xingran nimbly hid next to Lin Sui: "What's the rush? It's not like I'm not going to give Master Lin a share."
Unfortunately, while she managed to dodge Li Ye, she couldn't escape the petite Tang Xi.
She snatched the pork jerky and started dividing the "spoils."
Tangxi was the first to feed Lin Sui the pork jerky. Lin Sui chewed it while looking at the large bag and smiled knowingly.
Li Ye said it was prepared for her, but in fact he included everyone, including Yu Cinian, who would hardly eat anything because of her germaphobia.
While the ghosts were still fighting, Lin Sui asked Tang Xi to put another zongzi in her hand, then handed it to Yu Cinian behind her: "Want some?"
Perhaps disgusted by the putrid human tissue, Yu Cinian's mood became inexplicably depressed and gloomy.
But he still managed a smile and accepted the pork jerky.
Seeing his appearance, Lin Sui suddenly remembered that when he stood up from the table, he seemed to lose his balance and swayed unnaturally.
She glanced thoughtfully at Yu Cinian's feet.
When Lin Sui looked up again, she saw Mao Yang and his apprentice staring at them. Thinking that they were also hungry, she reached out her hand: "Have some too?"
"No, no, no, no, no." The master and apprentice shook their heads repeatedly.
Faced with that rotten feast, these people were still able to eat. No wonder the internet is full of comments praising their mental state as far superior.
The fluffy girl wiped her sweat and thought for a moment: "But didn't Master say that we should get along well with Senior Lin? Shouldn't we try to be more sociable?"
“That makes sense.” Mao Yang nodded and decisively pushed his apprentice forward. “Then your master has given the order: you go.”
Fluffy: "..." As expected, Master was right. One shouldn't be too straightforward.
He shouldn't have said that.
At this point, the demons biting each other was coming to an end.
Wang Tengda was, after all, a newly born vengeful spirit; how could he possibly be a match for a woman?
He barely had a chance to fight back; he could only watch helplessly as he was torn to pieces while letting out a shrill, inhuman howl.
Soon, he was torn to shreds like a piece of paper, then swallowed whole by the woman with her gaping maw.
"Oh no! This evil spirit has devoured other vengeful souls; it's about to become a malevolent spirit!" Mao Yang exclaimed in alarm.
As he finished speaking, the woman's frail and aged figure changed, becoming like she was in her youth, exuding a scholarly air, yet brimming with youthful vigor and high spirits.
But his eyes were no longer the same; they were now filled with malice and hatred for the world.
After dealing with Wang Tengda, when they went to find Wang Yuefeng, they discovered that she had disappeared.
The woman narrowed her eyes and smiled mockingly: "Trying to run away on my turf? Dream on!"
With a casual wave of her hand, she grabbed Luo Yaozu from among the villagers and threw him outside: "Go, tie her up and bring her here."
"Yes." Luo Yaozu responded and floated away.
The woman looked at Lin Sui and his group and sneered, "You've already come all this way, how can you just eat dried meat instead of a proper meal?"
"I see you've never had a good meal before, so stay here until you're ready to eat."
As she spoke, she floated into the air with a gust of cold wind, and the villagers behind her turned into wisps of black smoke, which were all sucked into her body.
"No! We can't let her become a demon, otherwise she'll be hard to deal with!" Mao Yang said urgently, and decisively threw out the red rope with copper coins strung on it.
The copper coin vibrated, carrying a red rope that pierced through the thick black mist and rushed towards the woman, wrapping around her soul and binding her completely.
The woman was immediately immobilized, her spellcasting was interrupted, and the black energy that was about to enter her body was blocked.
Mao Yang then took out a Three Pure Bell, and while making hand seals, he shook it rapidly. The sound waves, which were inaudible to ordinary people, were like dense needles piercing straight into the woman's brain.
"Ah!" the woman roared angrily as she struggled in mid-air, "I never intended to eat you, but since you're so ungrateful, don't blame me for being impolite!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a fierce, eerie wind swept in.
The wind howled, making people unconsciously squint.
Lin Sui subconsciously raised his hand to shield himself from the dust blown by the cold wind, and then sensed an unusual aura in the gusts of wind.
It is a ghost realm.
Lin Sui's heart skipped a beat, and she knew something was wrong.
She no longer cared whether her hand was still injured, and used her cultivation to break free of the bandages.
He immediately threw out copper coins to set up a protective array, but it was too late.
Moreover, this sudden surge of resentment was unexpectedly strong, even stronger than Mr. Bi's breakthrough into a demon.
In the final instant when the cold wind suddenly stopped, Lin Sui only had time to save Tang Xi, who was closest to her and had been clinging to her clothes.
Everyone else, including Mao Yang and his apprentice, disappeared from the spot.
Even the woman and the black energy that hadn't been completely absorbed disappeared.
The quiet and desolate Luohua Village seemed to be inhabited only by the two of them.
Seeing this, Tang Xi was stunned for a moment: "Where...is he going?"
Where did they go?
“A ghost domain, a ghost domain stronger than the one used by the infant spirits.” Lin Sui’s eyes were deep, and his expression was not very good. “This kind of ghost domain can scatter people into different parallel spaces and then defeat them one by one.”
Upon hearing this, Tang Xi's doll-like face under the mask tightened, and she gripped Lin Sui's clothes even more tightly.
A deep worry welled up in her eyes.
If they gather together, they can look after each other; but if they disperse and face those vengeful spirits alone, wouldn't that be troublesome?
Lin Sui took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
The words he uttered were unclear, whether he was comforting Tangxi or himself: "It's alright, they all have some ability to protect themselves."
At this point, she felt a sense of relief.
Fortunately, Tangxi was saved.
Otherwise, how would she deal with those vicious vengeful spirits, having already used up her guardian fire in the underground cave?
However, we need to find them quickly, especially Si Xingran and Li Ye, as the cinnabar bullets and exorcism bombs are almost gone.
Lin Sui thought for a moment and took out a talisman.
Tangxi followed her movements and looked down, then suddenly grabbed her hand in surprise: "Sui... Bao... hand?!"
"It's okay, we can just reapply the medicine later..." Lin Sui thought she was worried about the injury on her hand.
When he looked down, he was also taken aback.
Her hands, which should have been covered in wounds and cracks, had somehow healed completely, becoming as white and smooth as porcelain once again.
There wasn't a single scar left, as if he had never been injured.
No wonder I haven't felt any pain these past two days; I thought the pain had gotten too much.
Even when facing the villains with her bloodied hands, Lin Sui was still thinking, why didn't that person also treat her hands?
That way, the villains might not be so upset if they see her return unharmed.
Little did they know that this move would be done without anyone noticing.
What's this? Internal injuries heal first, while external injuries are delayed?
As Lin Sui's thoughts raced, he suddenly felt that power, even stronger than that of Mr. Bi who had just become a demon, floating in the air again.
They were obviously after her.
Just as Lin Sui was preparing to deal with it, the energy disappeared after only a brief fluctuation.
Lin Sui frowned, feeling strange, but didn't have time to think about it further.
She quickly formed a hand seal with the talisman between her fingertips, while her lips moved rapidly: "Tracking!"
With a low shout, the talisman flew out in one direction.
Lin Sui gripped Tang Xi's hand tightly and said, "Stay close to me."
Tang Xi nodded emphatically, then withdrew her hand, bent down and picked Lin Sui up in her arms. Her legs seemed to be on fire, and she quickly caught up with Ling Fu while carrying her.
Lin Sui: "..." Fine.
She is a heart patient who cannot engage in strenuous exercise.
She understands.
Lin Sui obediently hugged Tang Xi's shoulders and relaxed, remaining still.
……
As Yu Cinian watched Lin Sui disappear from his sight again, he once again experienced a moment of emptiness, as if a hole had been torn in his heart.
It's like being afraid of losing something.
It's strange, considering he's been a cold-blooded monster without any emotions for a long time.
She listens to her grandfather and learns the basic emotions that normal people should have, simply because this can help her avoid a lot of trouble.
But ever since he met Lin Sui, he has been experiencing emotions that shouldn't belong to him, emotions that are normal for ordinary people.
Of course, Yu Cinian did not dislike this feeling.
But Grandpa said that love makes people happy, so why does Lin Sui always make him feel panicked and scared?
again and again……
Just like now, he was in someone's courtyard, facing a world without Lin Sui again. His face was extremely gloomy, and it also revealed a ruthless edge.
Then, after discovering that not only Lin Sui, but everyone else had disappeared and he was the only one left, he instantly became indifferent and unconcerned.
Oh, so this time it was targeting him.
Alone, Yu Cinian no longer uses smiles to disguise herself.
His depressed mood due to pain became undisguised, revealing his dangerous nature as he seemingly casually surveyed everything around him.
The courtyard was simple, with only a large water vat in one corner.
The sound of splashing water arose, accompanied by a familiar, clear call: "A-Nian."
As if possessed, Yu Cinian lifted his foot and walked towards the water vat.
The water vat was about half a person's height and filled to the brim with water.
Ripples spread across the water, reflecting a woman's face.
This face bears an 80% resemblance to Yu Cinian, and is breathtakingly beautiful.
She playfully waved to Yu Cinian from underwater: "Come here, Anian, Mom will buy you White Rabbit milk candy."
As the water rippled, the face transformed back into Lin Sui's appearance.
Lin Sui waved to him, saying, "Why are you wandering off by yourself? Come back quickly, we're all waiting for you here."
Unconsciously, Yu Cinian bent down and slowly lowered his head.
Just as he was about to bury his head in the water, a cool sensation crept up his spine.
Sharp claws reached towards his neck, trying to force him into the water.
Yu Cinian's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and with lightning speed, he dodged the claws. He then raised his Ghost Head Blade and swung it at the arm without blinking.
"Ah!" The vengeful spirit that appeared out of nowhere let out a miserable howl.
Black smoke billowed from his shoulders, where his arms should have been, but there was no space there; the ghostly hand fell to the ground, also rising in a wisp of black smoke.
He glared at Yu Cinian with his eyes rolled back: "You, you, you're not an ordinary person, how could you cut off my hand?"
"Only ugly creatures like you would think I'm an ordinary person." Yu Cinian lowered his eyes and gently stroked the ancient yet sharp blade of his sword, his tone low and gloomy. "Do you know what the living people outside call me?"
As a vengeful spirit who should be feared, he was inexplicably frightened by his appearance.
He couldn't help but take a step back, swallowing hard: "W-what kind of address is that?"
“A morbid, abnormal, madman.” Yu Cinian was used to wearing a mask, but as he spoke, he couldn’t help but laugh again.
He first chuckled softly, as if he couldn't stop laughing. His laughter grew more and more joyful, to the point of near madness.
Not to mention humans, even ghosts would be terrified.
The vengeful spirit shuddered and cowered, almost driving the ghost mad.
what happened?
Weren't these people supposed to be easy to kill? Where is the ease of killing them?
How come she's even more sneaky than him?
No, no, he's a bound evil spirit, how can he be afraid of a mere human?!
