Chapter 3 Water Ghost Harming People (Please Collect and Recommend)
"Master, an urgent distress message came from Lingyu Town." He had just finished a big cycle of the day, and his face was still a little red. A rather anxious voice came.
"Come in? Why are you so panicked?" Sun Mingsheng also had some questions.
Sun Xunli and Sun Mingsheng, uncle and nephew, guarded Lingyu Town on behalf of the family. Their residence was located in the core of the green jade vein, and they had a first-level middle-grade mist array as protection.
Both uncle and nephew were Qi Refining cultivators, and they could not fast. They needed to eat some meals on time. In addition, there were still many mundane affairs to deal with, so there were also several mortals sent by the family to serve them.
In fact, these people were also the blood of the Sun family, but because they had no spiritual roots, they could only do what they could to support themselves.
There is a difference between immortals and mortals, and naturally the status between the two sides is also very different. In the place where Sun Xunli and Sun Mingsheng, uncle and nephew, practice, there are also some servants serving. In addition to some daily chores, they are also responsible for raising pigeons to receive secret letters from Shenquan Mountain and other places.
Although cultivators can use communication talismans and other means to transmit information, it is too luxurious for small and medium-sized families like the Sun family. A first-level low-grade communication talisman requires two spirit stones. Therefore, in most cases, they still use some pigeons. Only in emergency situations will communication talismans be used.
"Report to the immortal master, there is a suspected water ghost in the Lingyu River 20 kilometers northwest of Lingyu Town. Three mortals have been killed here one after another." After getting the nod, the cultivator in charge of handling chores said anxiously.
After all, he is also a person in Lingyu Town, and he is afraid that delaying will cause his relatives to be harmed.
"Water ghost? Well, I'll go and take a look." Sun Mingsheng's heart was throbbing.
Water ghosts are also a kind of evil ghosts. They just wait for opportunities to harm mortals. Their cultivation should not be high. With his cultivation of the fifth level of Qi training, it should not be too difficult to deal with them.
In addition to killing the water ghosts at the request of Lingyu Town, Sun Mingsheng naturally has some small ideas. There is a ghost bead in the body of the water ghost, which contains pure Yin Qi, which can be exchanged for some spiritual stones in the market.
In addition, since water ghosts can be born here, there may be some special places. If we dig deep, it is possible to obtain some cultivation resources.
"If Lingyu Town has urgent matters to deal with, just notify the clan uncle. I will go and come back quickly. Let's go." After Sun Mingsheng gave a simple instruction, his feet stepped on a condensed white cloud and disappeared in the distance.
The cloud-driving technique is just the simplest entry-level first-level low-grade spell, which is a spell that every cultivator must learn after embarking on the road of cultivation.
A white cloud was condensed with a meager amount of mana to travel. Since the consumption of mana was relatively small, the speed was naturally not fast.
Even under Sun Mingsheng's full urging, the speed of the white cloud still did not increase significantly. The direction he was heading was Lingyu Town, not Lingyu River, which was 150 miles away.
Knowing yourself and the enemy will ensure victory in a hundred battles. Although the opponent was just a suspected low-level water ghost, he was also just a fifth-level Qi training cultivator, and his own skills were not outstanding.
If you want to earn cultivation resources while ensuring your own safety, caution is a necessary basic quality. Before officially going to Lingyu River, you must have a deep and detailed understanding of the deaths of mortals in Lingyu Town.
It is better to be safe than sorry. It would be the most tragic and unwilling to die in the hands of an unknown water ghost because of a moment of carelessness.
"Chief, have you asked for help from the immortal master on duty? Five of our men have died unexpectedly by the Lingyu River. Now the people in the town are in a panic, which will affect the production of Lingyu this month," said a muscular man with a machete on his back.
This man is the captain of the Lingyu Town Guard, Sun Linqiang. He leads more than a hundred members to protect the safety of Lingyu Town and prevent some bandits from invading. His strength is quite strong.
Unfortunately, what we encountered this time is not comparable to human power. When facing the existence of water ghosts, there is no other means to deal with it. We can only wait for the rescue from the immortal master on duty.
"I sent a letter for help to the immortal master on duty yesterday. There should be an immortal master coming to exorcise the ghosts today and tomorrow," said the chief Sun Senwei, who was also worried.
"Will all the tribesmen continue to stay in the town today?" Sun Linqiang asked.
The purpose of Lingyu Town is to dig for jade veins. There is a fixed quota that must be completed every month. If you delay too much time and fail to complete the task, you will also be punished by the resident immortal master.
"Lingyu River is the only way to the jade veins. Now the people in the tribe are panicking, and they are resting in the town. The jade production owed in the past two days will be made up overnight in the future." Sun Senwei obviously had an arrangement for this kind of thing.
"I wonder when the resident immortal master will arrive?" As the leader of the guards, Sun Linqiang was under a lot of pressure.
"Who is the clan leader? This immortal master is here. How can we be sure that it is a water ghost that harms people?" Sun Mingsheng's figure appeared directly in front of the two people.
"Sun Senwei (Sun Linqiang) has met the Immortal Master of our clan." The two core figures of Lingyu Town, one old and one young, paid their respects at the first opportunity. This was their first close contact with the Immortal Master.
"We are all members of the Sun clan, so there is no need for so many formalities. Has anyone had close contact with a water ghost?" Sun Mingsheng went straight to the point.
"Sun Youming, the Immortal Master wants to ask you questions, why don't you come out quickly?" Sun Senwei shouted with full energy, obviously prepared in advance.
"Master Immortal, Sun Youming has seen a water ghost from a distance, but he was frightened and his spirit changed a little bit." Sun Senwei said carefully, actually hoping that he could sell it for treatment.
"It doesn't matter, this Immortal Master naturally has the means to deal with it." He didn't care about these little thoughts.
"Water ghost, rotten water ghost, with dense hair all over the body"
"Arms are thicker than thighs, with two heads and four arms"
A dirty man kept shaking, as if he had never recovered from an inexplicable shock, and kept muttering.
"Spiritual power nourishes the body, three souls and six spirits, quickly return to their positions, command" Sun Mingsheng offered a yellow soul-fixing talisman, a flash of spiritual light flashed, and Sun Youming had calmed down again.
The soul-fixing talisman is just an entry-level talisman, not even a first-level low-grade one. It is mostly used by monks who are preparing to learn talismans to practice.
Since Sun Mingsheng uses drawing talismans as a means of making a living and earning spirit stones, there is no shortage of similar soul-fixing talismans.
"Greetings to the immortal master, thank you for saving my life, thank you for saving my life" Sun Youming kept thanking him.
"Tell me about the water ghost in detail, describe all the details one by one"
