Chapter 334: Bai Qi, the God of ughter
Qin Tiantian hid behind me and shivered. She didnt even dare to lift her head.
This woman was really interesting. She didnt look scared when she worked with Mr. Qin to harm her father, but she was scared out of her wits after seeing a ghost possessing her sister.
Grandpa, I Why did you say that I wasnt filial? I asked.
Do you remember what I told youst time? Wheres my great-grandson? Qin Sisi fumed, her round eyes gazing at me.
An old mans hoarse voice wasing out of the mouth of a beautiful girl; it was really creepy.
Anyway, I was at a loss for words. I never expected that he would ask about his great-grandson as soon as he saw me.
It hasnt been that long since thest time we met. Even if I wanted to, I couldnt give you a great-grandson.
Grandpa shot me a fierce look. I dont care how long it will take you. If I cant see my great-grandson, then I wont be able to rest in peace.
Senior Shuughed. Old Brother Zhang, Im sure there will be many opportunities in the future. Theres no need to force him. Anyway, were facing an emergency here, and we need to hurry and deal with that Thunder Sword. If that sword kills your grandson, you will never be able to see or hug your great-grandson!
Grandpa was enraged but was helpless. He coldly swung his arms. Old Shu, youll be my witness! Within one year, if this kid doesnt give me a great-grandson, you will be my great-grandson!
Senior Shu wore a dark face and changed the topic. Okay, we should talk about the Thunder Sword first!
Grandpa said, Dealing with that sword is both easy and difficult. As long as we use the right method, itll be as easy as flipping ones hand to subdue the Thunder Sword.
Senior Shu looked worried. Why do we have to subdue the Thunder Sword? Cant we deal with it directly?
Grandpa sighed. Throughout my whole life, the Thunder Sword is the strongest otherworldly item Ive ever encountered. Its not easy to deal with it. Back then, its resentful energy was already very high. Since it was confined for years, Im afraid it must be even higher now.
I was a little scared as I looked at my grandpa. In that case, can we even deal with it?
Grandpa said, Im afraid well have to improvise.
I had a headache. If even my grandpa wasnt so sure about this case, we were in an extremely difficult situation.
I can help you with the n, but I cant intervene directly, said Grandpa. Im now a Netherworld Messenger, so I cant interfere too much with the world of the living.
What? Senior Shu was stunned. No matter what, this is some unfinished business you left behind. Why do we have to clean up your mess?
Grandpa red at him. I also want to help, but the consequences might be too troublesome.
After pausing for a while, he continued, Actually, you can use poison to fight poison, and deal with the Thunder Sword this way. If we cannot use manpower to deal with the Thunder Sword, you must borrow power from other sources.
What other sources? asked Senior Shu. The Zhang family? They wish they never epted this case in the first ce.
I think I got it, I said. Grandpa, you mean that we should find an otherworldly item thats simr to the Thunder Sword or a departed soul whose power is equal to the Hegemon King of Western Chu, and have them deal with the sword, right?
My grandfather said, Yeah, thats what I meant.
Okay, lets go with this n! Senior Shu, since you are knowledgeable, you must know some departed souls that are as powerful as the Hegemon King of Western Chu, right?
Senior Shu furrowed his brows. I can indeed find these such souls, but what worries me the most is that we dont know a method to make use of their power! If the soul doesnt cooperate with us, it will be another pain in the ass. Then, we wouldnt be able to solve the Thunder Sword and we would have another fiend to deal with!
Grandpa said, You guys should discuss this carefullyter.
After pondering for a while, he turned to me. Jiulin, I guess you still remember all the incantations I taught you when you were young, right?
I nodded immediately. I can even read them backward.
Im sure some of them wille in handy.
A strange wind blew before I could ask him anything. Then, Qin Sisis body copsed on the ground.
I immediately reached out to support her and asked Qin Tiantian to take her to her room to rest.
Qin Tiantian was so scared that she didnt even dare to touch her sister. I eventually had to ask Li Mazi to carry Qin Sisi to her room.
Qin Minghao suddenly shrieked. I turned around and saw that he was struggling harder and harder. The rope that tied him was stretched, and it could break at any second. The man had green veins all over his face, which made him look frightening.
I ran toward him to suppress him, but the man opened his mouth and tried to bite me.
I shoved a pillow in his mouth and asked Senior Shu, Senior Shu, its important to save his life. If you have any special item, please use it now.
Senior Shu grimaced. Eventually, he took out a talisman. This is myst spirit talisman...
Li Mazi snatched the talisman from Senior Shus hands and forcefully pped it on Qin Minghaos body.
Qin Minghaos struggles eased, but he didnt stoppletely. Moreover, as the power of the talisman gradually lost its effect, he started to wiggle again. I could only try my best to hold him down.
Senior Shu, help me! I screamed. Its not the time to be stingy!
Eventually, out of reluctance, Senior Shu took out another spirit talisman from his pocket. His eyes brimmed with tears. This is myst one. This time, for real...
With the two talismans working at the same time, Qin Minghaos struggles subsided. Eventually, he stopped andid still on the sofa as if he was slumbering.
I hurried to tighten the rope around him. After I secured the knots, I also slumped on the sofa and looked at Senior Shu. Senior Shu, you said that you can find a soul thats as intimidating as the Hegemon King of Western Chu. Can you tell us who that is?
Senior Shu answered, Zen Master Baimei has confined a one-thousand-year Ghost King in his Dabei Temple. That Ghost King was a famous general in the Qin dynasty, Bai Qi. In the Battle of Changping, Bai Qi lured and ughtered four hundred thousand soldiers of the Zhao army. He earned his reputation from this feat. Back then, people called him the God of ughter! Afterward, King Qin Zhaoxiang started to suspect him and asked him to kill himself. Before hemitted suicide, Bai Qi screamed at the sky and asked what crime he hadmitted to bear such a fate. After he died, his soul couldn''t rest in peace, and he became a Ghost King. Zen Master Baimei subdued him and kept him in Dabei Temple. If we can use Bai Qi to deal with the Hegemon King of Western Chu, it will be a battle between a God of ughter and a God of War! He is the best match we can find. It just happens that the pagoda thats keeping Bai Qi is about to lose its power. Zen Master Baimei is also old and weak now, and Im afraid he wont be able to seal Bai Qi one more time. If we can use Bai Qi, itll be like killing two birds with one stone! Still, we will need to work hard to make use of Bai Qi.
Senior Shu eyed me oddly. Kid, I cant do much here. You should try to think of a solution.
I felt my head swelling. If youre also helpless, how am I supposed to deal with this matter?
Senior Shu said, Your grandfather said that he taught you many incantations when you were young. Im sure he said that for a reason. It was a reminder to you. Those incantations maye in handy!
I looked pensive and nodded. Give me a moment to think about it.
I tried to search through my memory. Shortly after, I remembered an incantation that could work!
