Chapter 1582: Ghost Spirit?
“Ghost spirit?” Qiao Mu was bewildered. “Ghost spirits are frequently seen here?”
Ghost spirits weren’t regularly seen on their Sikong Planet.
The little monk had once said ghost spirits were formed from the grudge energy between heaven and earth. When it converged together without dispersing, it would become a ghost spirit with innate harmful yin energy.”
Other than that time when she returned to Qiaotou Village when the little monk said there were ghost spirits there, she had never seen these ghost spirits on Sikong Planet again.
Usually, wouldn’t corpses just zombify, mutating into zombies?
But whether it was zombies or ghost spirits, our dear Qiao Mu did not like them at all. They were dirty and must be very ugly!
“Yeah, yeah. The eldest miss of Landlord Li’s family in the eastern district got possessed by that kind of ghost spirit you said a while ago.”
“Aiyo, you have no idea.” That shopkeeper was like a chatterbox and couldn’t stop once he started talking.
“The eldest miss of Landlord Li’s family just started combing her hair in front of the mirror at midnight while giggling. That scene must’ve been freakin’ hair-raising!”
“Oh.”
Qi Xuanxuan, who was hugging herself while listening in alarm to this horror story, suddenly couldn’t help laughing.
When Qi Xuanxuan turned to look at the little stoic’s calm face, she smiled uncontrollably. “Shopkeeper, it’s useless! Our Qiaoqiao won’t get spooked by your ghost story.”
The shopkeeper pursed his lips disinterestedly. “Who’s telling you a story. I’m retelling an actual event.”
“Afterwards, Landlord Li requested for a reputed talisman master in the city to come.” The shopkeeper slapped his thigh as he prattled on, “The great master and that ghost spirit fought for three days and two nights. At last he slapped down an immobilization talisman and shouted ‘Freeze!’”
When the shopkeeper got to this part, his finger suddenly pointed at Qi Xuanxuan.
Qi Xuanxuan gave a small frown and slapped away his hand. “And then he subdued the ghost spirit.”
“Of course not!” The shopkeeper shook his head and said, “The situation at that time was so perilous. Ah! That ghost spirit suddenly opened its bloody mouth wide and chomped at the talisman practitioner.”
“It turned out that that talisman wasn’t strong enough to immobilize that powerful ghost spirit.”
“That was a mid-rank talisman, yet even that couldn’t immobilize the ghost spirit!”
“Sure, sure.” The duo nodded, and Qi Xuanxuan urged, “Can you just tell us the short version of the story.”
The shopkeeper slapped his thigh again as he hollered while imitating the talisman practitioner, “That talisman practitioner flung out two more immobilization talismans and yelled ‘Freeze!’ It was finally immobilized this time.”
Qiao Mu twitched her mouth.
This shopkeeper was such a crackpot. It was like he had personally witnessed the fierce fight between the talisman practitioner and the ghost spirit from his vivid description.
“At last, that talisman practitioner flung out an unusually strong attack talisman and annihilated that ghost spirit right there! Causing it to dissipate from this world. Boundless justice is bound to prevail!”
The shopkeeper looked up after finishing his ramble. A group of bystanders had surrounded him and were listening with relish. They started applauding him in awe.
Qiao Mu looked up speechlessly before standing up and pulling Qi Xuanxuan along to the stairway. She gave a nonchalant remark, “Shopkeeper, if you go out of business, you can set up a stall on the streets as a storyteller.”
“Hahaha!” Qi Xuanxuan laughed heartily.
“Oi, do you believe what that guy said.”
“It would be weird if I did.” Qiao Mu shook her head and commented, “But what he said about the ghost spirit getting immobilized by the immobilization talisman is probably true.”
