Zhao Shanyu reacted quickly, and a fruit knife appeared in her hand like magic. She charged at the black shadow and stabbed it.

  That black shadow didn't move, the dagger flew past its body and stabbed into a tree branch.

  "Spirit, it's a ghost" I took a look at the dagger and found that it couldn't be inserted into it. At this moment, I also knew that the black shadow standing on the tree was not human.

  I had just shouted when the black shadow on the tree suddenly rushed towards me. At this time, with the help of the school's streetlights, I could finally see what this black shadow looked like. It was a male ghost, wearing no clothes at all, his hair was messy, his skin was blue, just like a blue-blooded person, but in the blue skin, there were countless red blood vessels bulging out.

  He looks like a deformed person, with all his teeth being tiger teeth, and his forehead protruding, looking very strange.

  At the moment when the black shadow pounced out, Zhao Shenyu shouted loudly: "It's Meng Xi!"

  I hadn't even reacted yet when this ghost suddenly pounced on me. In an instant, I felt a chill run through my entire body, as if a huge block of ice had landed on me.

  This deformed man rushed towards me with a strange smile, opening his mouth as if he was going to bite me.

  I don't know how powerful this dream demon is, but being ranked 30th on the Hundred Ghosts List, it's definitely not weak. I decisively bit my tongue, and a long-forgotten pain spread from the tip of my tongue. I opened my mouth and spat directly at the face of this dream demon.

  Zi zi.

  "Woof woof" This strange creature made a sound, its voice was somewhat like the barking of a dog, but it didn't have the thick and loud sound of a dog's bark. Instead, it had a sharp and piercing tone that was somewhat ear-piercing.

  The tongue's sharp blood splattered onto Meng Xi's face, and the originally disfigured face was now scorched and rotten from the tongue's blood. Just as Meng Xi let out a strange cry, Zhao Shen Yu took out a yellow talisman and stuck it to Meng Xi's forehead, then Zhao Shen Yu chanted: "Order."

  With a loud crash, this dreamy deer was blasted out and hit the nearby tree, falling to the ground.

  "Woof woof" Meng Xi got up from the ground and let out two loud roars. To my surprise, two dark shadows emerged from the trees again. I took a closer look and found that they were two evil spirits, which turned out to be the souls of the two dead people we discovered this afternoon.

  Their eyes had no pupils, all were white eyeballs, wearing a white dress, rushing towards me and Zhao Shenyu, just as the two evil spirits rushed over, that Meng Xi glared at me with resentment, turned around and ran into the bushes.

  I was originally going to chase after it, but the evil spirit had already appeared in front of me. I wiped some of the blood from my tongue that remained at the corner of my mouth with my right hand and slapped it onto the face of this evil spirit that was pouncing on me.

  I didn't expect that with this one move, I would directly knock the evil spirit to the ground, and it lay there, its color gradually fading in and out, as if it was about to dissipate into nothingness.

  Kidding me? These two evil spirits have only just become ghosts for about a day or so. Their resentment hasn't even had time to build up yet. If Tongue Tip Blood, something as powerful as that, can't even defeat such evil spirits and make their souls flee in disarray, then that would be truly humiliating.

  I stared at the evil spirit lying on the ground, who was beaten by me and almost lost his soul. This evil spirit was the soul of a college student that I found this afternoon. At this moment, she looked at me with a confused expression, her mouth open and speaking to me, but I couldn't hear any sound.

  I lit a cigarette, took a puff, and looked at Zhao Shenyu beside me. At this time, Zhao Zhi's wife, Ping Ye Hong, had also been subdued by Zhao Shenyu with a spell, and was now trembling all over, lying on the ground unable to move.

  "This dream is not as strong as I imagined." I said casually to Zhao Shenyu.

  Zhao Shenyu said: "This kind of ghost, Meng Xi, originally kills people in ignorance and unawareness. Compared to us who fight with flesh and blood, it's not that formidable."

  "This dream is too cowardly, just started fighting and ran away." I asked Zhao Shanyu beside me: "What to do with these two evil spirits now? Beat them until their souls fly away?"

  Zhao Shenyu shook his head: "No need, beating ghosts until their souls scatter is too damaging to our yin virtue, let's help them attain Buddhahood instead."

  "How do you exorcise?" I became curious and said sincerely, I always thought that at most it was just beating the ghost until its soul flew away, but I had never actually exorcised a ghost before.

  Zhao Shenyu took out his mobile phone and suddenly played the Great Compassion Mantra.

  "Namo Ratnasikhin Tathagataya Arhate Samyaksambuddhaya"

  "Namo Arya Bhagavate Buddhaya"

  "Om mani padme hum"

  Mahasattva

  Then Zhao Shenyu put the phone in front of these two ghosts. As the Great Compassion Mantra played, a faint layer of golden light gradually appeared on the bodies of these two ghosts.

  "Can reciting the Magnified Karma Cleansing Mantra really help ghosts attain liberation?" I curiously asked.

  Zhao Shenyu nodded: "Although I am also the first time to super-degree the dead soul, but the Great Compassion Mantra is written by the Buddhist monk Qie Wan Damo, it indeed has the effect of super-degree the dead soul. Maoshan, Longhushan those Taoist priests who super-degree the dead soul are also using the Great Compassion Mantra."

  "Does Maoshan also use the Great Compassion Mantra to help the deceased souls?" I asked curiously.

  "Of course, in the past, Maoshan and Longhushan were mainly about exorcising evil spirits. There wouldn't be many cases of liberating souls from purgatory. Most ghosts would be directly annihilated without being given a chance to reincarnate. It wasn't until modern times, with the spread of things like NP, that Maoshan and Longhushan started playing the Great Compassion Mantra for liberation. You can't expect those Daoist priests from Maoshan and Longhushan to learn the Great Compassion Mantra just to liberate souls, right?"

  "No, I just feel that Taoist people use Buddhist things to exorcise ghosts and monsters, it's a bit awkward." I smiled.

  "There's nothing wrong with that, anyway, for us heretics, Buddhism and Taoism are all the same, they're all hypocritical and insincere. Compared to them, I prefer Taoism, those Buddhist monks just like to pretend too much." Zhao Shan Yu hugged his arms, talking about Buddhism and Taoism, his expression was quite indifferent, as if he didn't have any feelings about it.

  Zhao Shenyu was originally from a cult, and I grew up watching Ying Uncle's movies since childhood, with a healthy outlook on life as a good student. In fact, I still have some reservations about Buddhism. Firstly, Buddhism is an imported religion, and I'm a bit of a rebel. Secondly, in recent years, Buddhism has only been busy collecting wealth and requiring monks to have university degrees, but hasn't done anything good; it seems that temples have become tools for making money.

  Just as I was chatting with Zhao Shanyu, the two ghosts had already turned golden yellow from head to toe, and their eyes had also returned to normal.

  Zhao Zhigang's wife, Ping Yehong, suddenly burst into tears at this moment.

  "Waaahhh... I'm actually dead! How did I die?" Ping Ye Hong collapsed to the ground and burst into tears, while the younger woman beside her looked equally distressed, staring blankly at me and Zhao Shan Yu.

  Zhao Shenyu's face was cold and detached as he said, "Dust returns to dust, earth returns to earth. Once you're dead, don't be nostalgic, just reincarnate in peace."
