Chapter 1765
Immortal Traces 3
A female ghost exclaimed in surprise, "How come there's still one person here?"
They didn't even see it.
Liu Tong chuckled, "I've been in this room the whole time, it's just that you guys have bad eyesight and didn't see me."
The two female ghosts weren't angry at being mocked; instead, they smiled and said, "Little brother, would you like to play with your older sister?"
Liu Tong smiled and said, "Okay."
One of the female ghosts walked towards Liu Tong.
Lian Chengbi hurriedly reminded him, "Get out of the way!"
Liu Tong: "Don't worry."
The female ghost was already in front of him, her long fingernails reaching out to grab Liu Tong's neck.
Liu Tong also raised her hand.
Then, Lian Chengbi heard a shrill scream.
But then they saw a talisman stuck to the female ghost's forehead.
The talisman quickly transformed into a ball of flame, enveloping the female ghost.
The female ghost was burned and rolled around on the ground, screaming in agony.
The female ghost beside Lian Chengbi was so frightened that she tried to run away, but it was too late.
Liu Dong had already thrown out a talisman at her, and her fate was the same as that of the female ghost before her.
Lian Chengbi walked up to Liu Dong in astonishment and asked, "Where did this talisman come from?"
Liu Dong: "I drew it."
Lian Chengbi: "You cultivate Taoism?"
Liu Dong: "Yeah, do you want to learn?"
Lian Chengbi didn't hesitate: "Yes."
This world is different from his previous life. The martial arts skills from his previous life cannot help him in this life, so he will learn the skills of this world.
No matter which world he's in, he'll always strive to be the best, and he'll never need anyone to protect him.
Liu Dong: "Alright, after I deal with these two, I'll teach you how to do pull-ups."
Suddenly, a black hole appeared in the room. Liu Dong waved his hand, and the two female ghosts were thrown into the black hole.
Lian Chengbi asked, "Where did you throw them away?"
Liu Tong replied, “The underworld. Once they enter the underworld, there will naturally be underworld officials to arrest them. They have harmed people and have committed sins. The judges will throw them into the eighteen levels of hell to cleanse them of all their sins before they can reincarnate again. However, such people cannot be reincarnated as humans from the start; they need to be reborn as animals for several lifetimes based on their past sins.”
Lian Chengbi: "The underworld is quite fair."
Liu Tong: "Of course. The laws of the underworld are the most comprehensive, and the underworld has divine artifacts such as the Three Lives Stone, the Looking-Home Terrace, and the Wheel of Karma to protect it. Even if the underworld officials have selfish motives, they only dare to do some minor tricks and not go too far. Otherwise, they won't be able to pass the test of the divine artifacts."
Lian Chengbi: "Why are you so surprised by the underworld?"
That's because he's been to the underworld himself and seen it for himself!
Liu Tong: "That's what my master said."
Lian Chengbi: "Is your master a Taoist priest?"
Liu Dong: "Not a formal Taoist priest, but a successor of the Taoist school. You know the Maoshan School, right?"
Lian Chengbi nodded.
In his previous life, the Maoshan Sect also existed.
Lian Chengbi: "The Maoshan School, also known as the Shangqing School, was originally one of the Taoist talisman schools. Later, for some reason, it became a school that specializes in catching ghosts."
He had no ghosts in his past life, and the Maoshan Sect is seen by many as a charlatan sect.
Lian Chengbi: "Are you from the Maoshan Sect?"
Liu Tong: "If you study with me, you will also become a disciple of the Maoshan School."
Lian Chengbi: "Disciple of Maoshan? That's a novel title for me."
Liu Tong: "Sit down first, and I will teach you the Maoshan Mind Technique."
Lian Chengbi immediately sat cross-legged and listened attentively to the scriptures recited by Liu Tong, and then listened to Liu Tong's explanation.
Liu Tong explained it in great detail, and Lian Chengbi also had experience in cultivating internal energy; the two were similar in some respects.
In just one night, Lian Chengbi sensed magical power. After that, he stopped reading books and devoted all his time to cultivation.
In any case, with Lian Chengbi's level, he should be able to pass the provincial examination with ease.
Both of them became successful candidates in the imperial examinations and returned home.
The father and mother happily hosted a banquet.
With their son being so successful, both parents considered giving up their criminal activities.
Besides, their eldest son is married and can now shoulder the responsibility of supporting the Lian family.
The couple decided that once Lian Chengbi passed the imperial examination, they would retire and live a peaceful old age at home.
But accidents always happen before plans.
The couple went to do their last "business" of the year, but unfortunately encountered a vengeful ghost and died at its hands.
Neither of their souls escaped; they were devoured by the vengeful ghost.
Lian Chengbi sought Liu Qiu's help, and the two went to the place where Lian's parents had the accident.
That place had become a ghost town, and no one dared to approach it.
Lian Chengbi has made progress in his cultivation these days, and the talismans he draws have gained considerable power.
He threw the talismans into the ghost realm like scattering paper money, blasting out the evil spirits inside.
Then the fight began.
Liu Dong did not make a move, but stood by and watched over Lian Chengbi.
Lian Chengbi, relying on his superior lightness skill, dodged all the attacks from the evil spirit and seized the opportunity to slap the remaining talismans onto the evil spirit.
Those talismans were Five Thunder Talismans.
Although the talisman's power was not great because Lian Chengbi's magic power was weak.
But lightning is the nemesis of ghosts and evil spirits, and with such a large number of them, the evil ghost was still charred and cracked.
Liu Tong stepped forward and struck the evil spirit in the abdomen with her fist imbued with magical power.
The evil spirit vomited out all the undigested soul with a "vomit".
It includes the souls of both the father and mother.
When the father and mother saw their son, they were shocked and immediately rushed forward to try and pull him away.
"City wall, run! There are evil spirits here!"
"Father, Mother, the evil spirit has been defeated by your child," Lian Chengbi quickly reassured his parents.
His parents' first thought upon emerging from the building was his safety, a sight that filled Lian Chengbi with a bittersweet feeling.
In his previous life, his parents died young.
Even when they were alive, they only made strict demands on him, requiring him to be a qualified heir. They showed him little warmth and never indulged his desires or let him do whatever he wanted.
His parents in this life not only loved him as their son, but also respected his choices.
He didn't want to learn martial arts and chose to study, and his parents let him do as he pleased.
How could he not be moved by such wonderful parents?
Following Lian Chengbi's finger, Lian's parents saw the charred-looking demon and were both relieved and overjoyed.
"Did you hire a master?"
Lian Chengbi: "It was my son who beat it up like this."
Both father and mother stared wide-eyed.
Lian Chengbi: "My son had an opportunity and learned the Maoshan Taoist magic."
"Then, you won't become a Taoist priest, will you?" This was the question that Lian's mother was most concerned about.
Lian Chengbi: "The Maoshan lineage does not force its disciples to become Taoist priests; they can marry and have children."
Mother was relieved: "That's good."
Then I was very happy that my son had a way to protect himself.
After Liu Dong and the others bid farewell to Lian Chengbi and his parents, they stepped forward and packed up the two of them, along with the other souls and evil spirits, and sent them to the underworld. (End of Chapter)
