Chapter 53

Ghosts are divided into many levels, and because of various reasons, different kinds of ghosts are formed. Therefore, the classification of ghosts is different in each school, but no matter which school is in the classification of top-level ghosts, there are always three words: ghost Rakshasa!

The predecessor of this kind of ghost must be a fierce ghost, but it must also be a fierce ghost that meets certain “timing and location” requirements! As we all know, after a fierce ghost has vented its grievances, the only outcome is that its soul will fly apart and scatter. Therefore, the time that a fierce ghost exists is destined not to be too long.

Because vengeful ghosts are always driven by resentment, they will always choose to retaliate in the first instance, and they also have the ability to retaliate. After retaliation, the natural outcome is that their souls will fly apart.

How difficult is it to form a ghost Rakshasa?

The specific abilities of the ghost Rakshasa are not fully detailed in the scriptures of each school, because basically everyone who encounters a ghost Rakshasa dies, or else they discover the ghost Rakshasa and everyone attacks it.

But the records of the Li clan on the ghost Rakshasa are generally considered detailed. The conditions for the formation of this ghost are harsh. In summary, they are nothing more than the two I mentioned earlier, plus the need for a place where yin energy gathers to nourish it, and ghosts to devour. Under such harsh conditions, it is not an exaggeration to say that every ghost rakshasa is a ghost king, but that is not the kind of ghost king that you would invite to your home. Strictly speaking, that kind of ghost king does not belong to our “world.” We are in the world of the living, while that ghost king comes from the “world of the dead.”

I have no concept of what the world of the living and the world of the dead are, but that’s what the records say.

Once a ghost rakshasa is formed, it first has a certain “material” ability, which is the ability that all ghosts desire. It can have an impact on the real material world, just like it can pick up a knife and stab its enemy! This is the manifestation of spiritual power, just like the supernatural power of telekinesis, which can move objects out of thin air. Cheng Qing took a sip of tea and said lightly, “In a way, the ghost rakshasa has the ability to build a world.

“In a way, the ghost Rakshasa has the ability to build a world, allowing you to survive in the environment it has built. You may not even know you are living in an environment until you die! Even if you wake up, your soul will still be controlled. These two situations can be compared to the world built by the old village chief in the deserted village, and the situation with Fu Yuan, which is a typical case of soul control. The ghost Rakshasa’s soul power is too strong!” Cheng Yuan was curled up on the sofa, resting his chin in his hands, and calmly added, “Furthermore, the ghost Rakshasa can form a poisonous spirit, and Cheng Yi is a typical example.

“And the ghost Rakshasa can form a poisonous spirit, and Chengyi is a typical example.” Chengxin brother lazily added.

“There are also specific abilities that are unknown and unknown. In short, they are not dead and will not stop! Well, there is also a record that the ghost Rakshasa is bloodthirsty and eager to kill, and has a persistent desire for the body. The legend of ghosts eating people that has been passed down since ancient times is actually the prototype of the ghost Rakshasa. Other ghosts, including the immortal existence of the little ghost, do not eat people. It’s really scary to think about it.” The last one to speak was Cheng Zhen.

The man-eating ghost. I patted my forehead. I was helpless! It really is such a saying! When I was a child, my master used the Lake of a Thousand Ghosts to scare me, saying that there was a ghost rakshasa in the lake that would eat me.

Master, you didn’t think that a joke you made many years ago would actually come true for your disciple, did you?

If the old village chief at that time continues to ‘evolve’, then his soul may turn into a ghost Rakshasa, and his body into a higher-level zombie… Isn’t that terrifying? Will it be as easy to get rid of this ghost Rakshasa as cutting vegetables?

I was thinking nonsense when I noticed that no one in the room except Xiao Chengqian and I was particularly concerned about the existence of the ghost Rakshasa. Even Chengxin didn’t seem to care much.

“I’ve already told you everything in detail, and you all know very well what the ghost Rakshasa can do! Why are you all acting like this? Are you all scared silly, or are you just stupid?” I could only guess.

“Why should we be afraid? If the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up. We have you, don’t we? Get well soon, third brother?” Ru Yue came over and winked at me.

And Huigen said with great pride, “That’s right, my brother is the most awesome. Even if there is a group of them, I’m not afraid.”

Everyone agreed, except Xiao Chengqian, who looked at me confusedly and asked me, “Chengyi, you’ve reached such a powerful level?”

The atmosphere became inexplicably relaxed. It was only many years later that I realized that everyone was actually scared to death that night, but while I was lying down and narrating, Ru Yue quietly wrote a note and passed it around to everyone. The note roughly said that the ghost Rakshasa was an extremely evil spirit, and the general way to deal with ‘enemies’ was to kill nine generations. Everyone knew my personality, so they were told not to show the slightest hint of fear or put psychological pressure on me.

Everyone did as he said, including Xiao Chengqian, who pretended to be stupid.

I only learned about all this many years later, and when I think back to it now, I can’t help but feel moved.

After I finished talking, no one thought about how to deal with the ghost Rakshasa. They simply analyzed that the ghost Rakshasa most likely came from the Lake of a Thousand Ghosts, and that I had escaped in the hut because of the agarwood beads on my hand.

“The agarwood beads may have injured the ghost Rakshasa, so this time the ghost Rakshasa only used oranges to test, and did not make a big move, which means that we still have some time to prepare, at least a few days of peace.” Chengqing analyzed, and his analysis was not unreasonable.

“Then I still have to go back. Chengyi can’t fall down. The only thing that can make him recover quickly is the pills I made.” Chengxin insisted.

For this reason, we had a discussion. I originally insisted on giving the agarwood beads to Brother Chengxin to wear, but he refused. His reason was that since there would be a few days of peace and quiet, and the main target of the ghost Rakshasa was not him, it would be better for the agarwood beads to stay with me!

In the end, under our insistence, Xiao Chengqian accompanied Chengxin to go back.

In the next few days, we stayed in this hotel. For safety reasons, we didn’t officially check out of our rooms, but in general, we still gathered together, especially at night, and we couldn’t disperse.

During the day, if we must go out, we cannot go alone.

The main purpose of staying behind is to let me recover from my injuries. After all, if the ghost Rakshasa doesn’t come looking for us, we will go looking for its territory. This kind of collision is unavoidable, and it is especially important for me to be able to recover from my injuries.

Having said that, I had set the future direction in stone.

I asked Chengyuan to find me two cushions, and then, with pain, I leaned against them and said to everyone, “Before that, there is one more thing to do. I brought back a notebook and a photo from the crime scene. Maybe these will be helpful to us.”

“Where is it?” Xiao Chengqian was the most impatient, and quickly asked me.

“It’s in my pants pocket. Can you get it for me?” I said, enduring the pain.

Xiao Chengqian quickly took the black notebook out of my pocket. Fortunately, it was still there. Even if the ghost Rakshasa was very capable, he couldn’t take this notebook out of my pocket. I comforted myself with some A-Q spirit.

Ruoyue sat down next to me, gently moved the cushion to make me more comfortable, then picked up the black notebook and said, “Let’s take a look at the photos together. As for the content of the notebook, I’ll read it to you.”

As she spoke, she opened the notebook and a photo fell out. Ru Yue picked up the photo, which was a black and white photo. The person in the photo was very small, a woman, and she was half-turned, so only half of her face could be seen. But from this half of her face, it could be seen that the person in the photo was very beautiful.

At least the profile is beautiful. Apart from that, the background of the photo is very clear, and it can be seen that it is a field of farmland, with some people in the distance who are less clear, working in the fields.

“It wasn’t taken on purpose, it was more like an accidental shot. This doesn’t help us at all, does it?” Ruyue analyzed the photo, and everything was very calm.

At least it wasn’t as weird as I thought it would be when I saw the photo.

I took the photo and said, “Who says it’s not helpful? It’s always possible to use the power of the department to check the identity and information of the woman in the photo. Keep it well.”

Chengzhen joked, “I want to join the department too. It’s so convenient! It’s a pity that Master said that our Xiangzi school has to walk the rivers and lakes, and we can’t be bound by it.”

I helplessly glared at Chengzhen, while Ruyue smiled and picked up the notebook, saying, “Then I’ll read the contents here, hoping it will be helpful for the things we encounter.”
