Pushing the Three Thousand Worlds

Chapter 207 Revenge and Retribution ([-] words)

Li Qiu was a little surprised.

"Is this ghost in Yanshan City a woman?"

Ghosts and weirdness come from human beings, so there are naturally males and females.

However, he had killed so many Yin ghosts, and this was the first time he met a female Yin ghost.

The middle-aged warrior continued.

"As for the specific enmity between that ghost and Zheng Ming and Jiang Han, that's a long story."

"A few years ago..."

Li Qiu heard the whole story from the mouth of the middle-aged warrior.

A few years ago, the people of Qingzhou City ordered Zheng Ming to open a river in the north of Yanshan City to promote north-south trade.

Zheng Ming embezzled the money allocated by his superiors to build the river, and wanted to finish the river quickly to gain the attention of the superiors, so he asked Jiang Han to send troops to the villages near Yanshan City to forcibly recruit strong men to repair the river.

The husband of the ghost was one of the strong men who were forcibly recruited.

At that time, not long after the ghost and her husband gave birth, there was an extra mouth in the family. It was a time when life was hard, and the husband, the only earner in the family, was forcibly confiscated by the soldiers to build river channels. Immediately, life became very difficult. difficulty.

She thought that the family still had some savings, and after this period of time, it would be fine when her husband returned from repairing the river, but she didn't expect that her husband would never return.

Zheng Ming ordered the supervisors below to repair the river as soon as possible. In order to complete the order and get Zheng Ming's praise, the supervisors asked the strong men to open the river day and night.

The strong men were forced to work day and night, and the river was quickly repaired. The overseer was rewarded by Zheng Ming. One of the.

The death of the only earning husband in the family is like a bolt from the blue, and the symbolic pension money given by the yamen is simply not enough.

When she was sad, she desperately starched and washed other people's clothes, and planned to raise the child alone, but the house leaked and it rained all night, and the newborn child fell ill.

What the child suffers from is not a serious illness, and he only needs some money to go to the pharmacy to grab some medicine and he can be cured.

But she couldn't afford the money, so she asked someone to borrow it from someone else. Because of the dead man in her family, she might not be able to repay it, so she didn't lend it to her.

The pharmacy is not a charity hall, and they don’t buy medicine for her if they don’t have money. In the end, her child fell ill and died.

A family of three who had just started a happy life after giving birth to a child, became ruined because of a sudden forced recruitment!

Losing her husband and child successively, she was so desperate that she finally hanged herself. After her death, her soul lingered and turned into a ghost, and she was an extremely rare ghost...

After listening to the middle-aged warrior's narration, Li Qiu understood why Zheng Ming and Jiang Han wanted to hide from him the ghost's attack on the City Lord's Mansion.

Corrupting the River Xiuhe Gongyin and strengthening the recruitment of strong men caused the people to die from exhaustion. This is already a serious crime of losing an official.

And because of this incident, Yin Gui wants to kill them to avenge and kill those people to absorb Yin Qi to improve their strength. If the court knows, it may be a catastrophe.

Jiang Han was better, he was just an accomplice, Zheng Ming, the culprit at the very least, would have to be dispatched to the frontier to serve as an army.

Of course, Zheng Ming and Jiang Han tried their best to conceal the fact that their official positions and even their lives were involved, and they didn't want him to know about these things.

Earlier today, when he saw Zheng Ming's pale face, he probably was either frightened by the ghost or worried about it.

And not long after he arrived in Yanshan City, the news spread throughout Yanshan City, obviously it was also done by Zheng Ming and the other two.

The purpose is to let the Yin ghost know that the sky scout who can kill her has come to Yanshan City and lives in the city lord's mansion, so that she will be afraid and dare not attack the city lord's mansion again, and Zheng Ming and Jiang Han will be safe up.

Finding a ghost in a radius of hundreds of miles around Yanshan City is like looking for a needle in a haystack, and there is no telling when it will be found.

But after knowing that the ghost in Yanshan City had enmity with Zheng Ming, Li Qiu immediately had a way to find the ghost quickly.

It was to use Zheng Ming as bait to lure her to show up, and then behead her.

Li Qiu heard the story of this Yin ghost in Yanshan City, and felt that she was pitiful during her lifetime, but when she became a Yin ghost after her death, killing people wantonly to absorb Yin energy, she was no longer worthy of sympathy.

She has never condensed the ghost body to have the strength to rival the viscera cultivator. Even if she is a Tianyin ghost who absorbs Yin Qi and grows faster than ordinary Yin ghosts, it is estimated that she has killed thousands of people.

Her exhausted husband and sick child were innocent, but the thousands of people she killed were not born to die.

Li Qiu reached out and put down a silver ingot on the table.

"Today's tea is my treat, thank you for your news."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out of the teahouse, heading towards the City Lord's Mansion.

After returning to the City Lord's Mansion, Li Qiu summoned Zheng Ming.

"My lord, I don't know what you want from me?"

"Time is running out. If you kill that ghost every night, more people may suffer. I give you three days to find that ghost."

"Three days?!" Zheng Ming looked puzzled. "My lord, isn't three days a bit short..."

"I don't care about that. I just want to kill the ghost. If you can't find the ghost within three days, then you will follow my method."

"Your method? I don't know what your method is, sir?" Zheng Ming looked puzzled: "If the method works, why did you wait until three days later?"

"You won't find the ghost within three days, and you will know when the time comes." Li Qiu's eyes showed a hint of coldness.

He also wasn't sure if Zheng Ming was used as bait, whether the ghost would not be able to help but fall into the trap.

So he decided to let Zheng Ming and Jiang Han use the conventional method to find them for the time being, and use this trick again if there is no result after three days.

Time passed by, and during the three days, Zheng Ming tried his best to send troops to search for the ghost in Yanshan City. He always felt that if Li Qiu could not find the ghost within three days and let Li Qiu use his method, he would be afraid. Bad things will happen.

But the sky failed, and Zheng Ming failed to find the ghost within three days.

City Lord's Mansion.

Li Qiu sat at the main seat, and Zheng Ming, the lord of Yanshan City, and Jiang Han, the general of Yangwu, sat on the left and right of the hall.

"Three days have passed, and City Lord Zheng has not found any traces of the ghost, so he can't blame me for using my method." Li Qiu said quietly.

"I don't know what your method is, my lord?" Zheng Ming asked anxiously.

Jiang Han also looked at Li Qiu curiously, wanting to know what method he was talking about.

Li Qiu looked cold.

"The three-day deadline has expired. City Lord Zheng, you are unable to do your job effectively. I have decided to exercise the power of the sky patroller and temporarily take over the power of the city lord of Yanshan City!"

Zheng Ming's anger welled up in his heart, he stood up abruptly, and shouted loudly with his face flushed.

"Master Li, you are premeditated to seize power!"

"Who can find the traces of Yin Gui within three days, Mr. Li, don't you think it's too far-fetched for you to use this reason to seize the power of my city lord?"

Zheng Ming looked angry and asked back.

Facing Zheng Ming's questioning, Li Qiu looked calm and said slowly.

"Two days ago, I heard something about that ghost in the city."

"Some people say that because of Mr. Zheng and Mr. Jiang, that Yin ghost broke up his family, hanged himself, turned into a Yin ghost, and killed people recklessly."

"I wonder if there is such a thing?"

"Li...Master Li, the unreasonable words cannot be trusted!" Zheng Ming's eyes showed a look of panic.

"That's all a deliberate fabrication by someone with a heart!"

Jiang Han was not as eager to defend himself as Zheng Ming, but he could still see the obvious panic on his face.

"Really?" Li Qiu squinted his eyes and asked in a low tone.

"I didn't find any trace of the Yin ghost within three days, and delayed my lord's killing of the Yin ghost. It is indeed my negligence. I asked my lord to temporarily take over the power of the city lord of Yanshan City." Zheng Ming clapped his hands in a panicked expression.

Li Qiu nodded.

"In this case, I will talk about my method."

"This matter still needs the cooperation of City Lord Zheng."

Zheng Ming's body trembled, with an ominous premonition, he said in horror.

"My lord, you...you don't want to take down that ghost, Guan Yin, do you?"

Zheng Ming is not a fool to be able to sit in this position. As soon as he contacted what Li Qiu knew and what he said, he easily guessed what Li Qiu was going to do.

"My lord, I beg you to spare the life of Xiaguan, that ghost hates Xiaguan to the bone, and it will never let me go if given the chance, and Xiaguan has no strength to restrain the chicken..."

"This is absolutely impossible!"

Hearing Zheng Ming's cry, Li Qiu looked indifferent, and said coldly in a tone that could not be rejected.

"This matter is settled like this. If City Lord Zheng can help lure out the ghost, it will be regarded as a crime and a meritorious service. Then the court will deal with you lightly!"

"Master Li, Master Li!..."

Zheng Ming still kept crying.

Li Qiu squinted his eyes, and released a little force against Zheng Ming, which shocked his mind and made him pass out.

Zheng Ming's face was pale, his hands and feet were weak, unable to withstand Li Qiu's power, he collapsed to the ground.

Li Qiu ignored him and turned to look at Jiang Han.

"Jiang Han, compared with Zheng Ming, the crime you committed is not serious."

"If you cooperate well with me and kill that ghost, maybe the imperial court will forgive your sins."

"Your official understands." Jiang Han responded with a panicked look, clasping his hands.

Li Qiu nodded: "Let the news out that the city lord Zheng Ming is not doing his job well, and I have taken over the power of the city lord. From tomorrow onwards, I will personally lead the soldiers outside the city to search for any traces of ghosts."

"The soldiers outside the city lord's mansion will be transferred, and you will also leave the city with me."

"Yes."

Jiang Han released the news according to what Li Qiu said.

The next day, Li Qiu took Jiang Han and all the soldiers out of Yanshan City as the news had released.

After that, Jiang Han asked Jiang Han to find a soldier who looked similar to him, and pretended to be him.

He himself quietly returned to the City Lord's Mansion in the city alone, stayed next to Zheng Ming's room, watched the movement in Zheng Ming's room, and waited for the ghost to arrive.

At the same time, Jiang Han led people to look for the ghosts outside the city. If they found the ghosts, Jiang Shan would delay them and send people back to the city to report.

Both sides are carried out at the same time, neither side will be delayed.

A few days later, when Jiang Han and his soldiers had almost searched all around Yanshan City, the ghost finally got into the trap.

Outside the City Lord's Mansion, a thin figure in a cloak quietly appeared.

There was a sickly paleness on her face, and her eyes were ashen. She looked at the City Lord's Mansion without a single soldier guarding it, with a hideous expression.

She wants revenge!To avenge her dead husband and child!
Zheng Ming ruined her family, even if she died, she would kill Zheng Ming!
A few days ago, she had recovered from her injuries, and her strength was one step further.

She entered Yanshan City, preparing to attack the City Lord's Mansion again and kill Zheng Ming and Jiang Han.

But when she heard that the imperial court sent a sky surveyor stronger than Jiang Han to kill her and lived in the city lord's mansion, she retreated.

She is not afraid of death, but she is afraid that Zheng Ming will not be killed before she dies.

She retreated outside the city, preparing to kill more people and improve her strength.

Until yesterday, she heard outside the city that Zheng Ming was taken over by the sky surveyors sent by the imperial court because of his ineffectiveness.

And the sky surveyor led all the soldiers to search for her traces outside the city, and the city lord's mansion is now unguarded.

She felt that the opportunity for revenge had come!

The ghost in the cloak looked like a ghost, jumped into the courtyard wall, then threw the cloak away, and rushed towards the direction where Zheng Ming lived.

The last time she almost killed Zheng Ming, if it wasn't for Jiang Han, she would have succeeded.

This time she won't fail again.

Li Qiu was sitting on the bed, practicing kung fu, when he suddenly heard a burst of quick and hurried footsteps, going to the room next to him.

He opened his eyes, a flash of light flashed in his eyes, he got up and went to the ground, picked up the Yetan knife, pushed the door and went out.

Just in time, a figure with disheveled hair and a ferocious aura had arrived at the door of Zheng Ming's room.

The ghost with shaggy hair felt a strong threat from Li Qiu's body, and suddenly felt something bad, with a hideous expression on his face, he pushed open the door regardless, and went to Zheng Ming's room to kill.

"It's Yin Gui! Yin Gui is seeking revenge on me!"

In the room, Zheng Ming's terrified cry came.

"Lord Li, save me! Quickly save me!..."

"Officer Dog, pay back the lives of my husband and children!"

Following a scream full of hatred, Zheng Ming let out a desperate scream, which was silent.

From the beginning to the end, Li Qiu stood in place without moving.

In an instant, a ghostly figure rushed out of the room, intending to flee far away.

Li Qiu stepped on his feet and stopped in front of the female ghost with disheveled hair.

The disheveled female ghost who had avenged her vengeance was not as fierce as before, and her overall momentum was three points weaker.

Without the momentum of "who blocks and kills" just now, there was obvious fear on Li Qiu's face, and he wanted to bypass Li Qiu and escape.

Li Qiu's expression was cold, and he drew his knife out of its sheath, exuding a terrifying aura.

The thick blood energy was like red snakes, climbing and winding around the black blade.

"You got your wish and killed Zheng Ming to avenge your revenge. Now you should also pay for the life of the person who died at your hands!"

Li Qiu swung Ye Tan Dao, the light of the blade pierced through the air, and a strong wind was blown up, killing the terrified ghost.

The shaggy ghost dodged Li Qiu's attack hastily, and with a ferocious look on his face, he swung his sharp claws shrouded in black air, and grabbed Li Qiu's head.

"Let me go! Or I'll kill you!"

Li Qiu's face remained unmoved, he turned the blade, and slashed out...
