Chapter 573: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio: Black Mountain Demon 05
Li Muyang planned to eliminate the female ghosts and tree monsters in Lanruo Temple before Ning Caichen met Nie Xiaoqian and passed by Lanruo Temple.
Didn't the Black Mountain Old Demon say that he would stay away from those female ghosts in Lanruo Temple? Then just make them disappear.
For female ghosts who are forced to let the tree demon absorb the souls of others, he can put them into reincarnation, while those who voluntarily give themselves to the tree demon will have their souls scattered along with the tree demon.
Li Muyang has great merits and is capable of helping those female ghosts enter reincarnation, but he has to hide it from the ghost officials in the underworld.
But he can't do it for now, so he can only wait for the system to go online and see if the upgraded system has the prop that can allow people to enter reincarnation.
He has a soul-nourishing gourd here, which can be used as a temporary shelter for them.
However, when Li Muyang wanted to know whether the female ghost he had just seen was qualified to be reincarnated, he discovered that this female ghost had committed many sins. Even if her soul did not fly away, she would still go to hell and bear the punishment of hellfire, so she was not qualified to be reincarnated.
After Li Muyang discovered this situation, he didn't care at first and just put this female ghost on the kill list.
After he had put the mark into the bodies of all the female ghosts in Lanruo Temple and looked at the sin values of those female ghosts, he found that none of them were qualified to be reincarnated. If they were to be reincarnated with so many sins on their bodies, it would definitely attract the attention of the underworld.
After Li Muyang discovered that those female ghosts were on his kill list, he sighed, returned to Lanruo Temple, and waited for the female ghosts to come back.
He wants to get rid of all the tree demons and female ghosts.
While waiting, Li Muyang saw that the tree demon had stopped absorbing the Yin energy below to practice, but was dozing off, as if waiting for the female ghosts to come back and absorb the Yang energy to practice.
"Buzz!"
When Li Muyang was dozing off and waiting for the female ghosts to come back, he suddenly discovered that there was something unusual happening in his system space.
He thought it might be related to the system upgrade, so he ignored it and didn't even think about entering the system space to check.
In the system documents he had read with the system before, during all system upgrades, a large part of the system space would be in an unstable state, that is, it was in the process of advancement.
Although Li Muyang can still enter the system space and use the things in the system backpack, after entering, his soul will be in an unstable state like the system space.
Therefore, when he knew that the system would take three months to upgrade, Li Muyang put all the things he might need into the space ring he bought. The ring had 36 storage slots, and he filled them all.
After hearing another "buzzing" sound, Li Muyang directly blocked the system connection, and those sounds no longer appeared.
As the sky gradually brightened, the female ghosts came back one after another. When the first female ghost came back, the tree demon opened his eyes. Instead of transforming into a human form, he tied the female ghost in front of him with vines. Then, the vines that imprisoned the female ghost sprouted sharp thorns and fiercely pierced into the female ghost's body.
The female ghost's face turned pale due to the pain, but she dared not cry out. She could only grit her teeth and endure it. After the tree demon absorbed all the yang energy in the female ghost's body, it threw the female ghost to the ground, completely ignoring her weak appearance caused by the absorption of yang energy. The female ghosts who came back later were treated the same way.
Li Muyang frowned slightly when he saw this scene. He suddenly felt that it was not unreasonable for the tree demon to be deserted by everyone in the end. Who would be loyal to a master who only cared about his own comfort?
Li Muyang was in the dark, carefully observing the female ghosts. When he saw the female ghosts who came back, he found that all of them had a hint of hatred in their eyes, and that hatred was directed towards the tree demon.
He had a general understanding of the thoughts of these female ghosts, but no matter whether they were forced or not, they had taken human lives, and their final fate was to be torn to pieces their souls.
Li Muyang is not a saint and wants to save everyone. After finding out that those female ghosts could not be saved, he did not want to wait for the system to be upgraded.
As for Nie Xiaoqian, she was hiding in the urn to cultivate her soul, and he could not see her final fate for the time being.
Not far away, Nie Xiaoqian hid in her own urn, listening to the low wails of her sisters outside, and her desire to escape from her grandmother became more and more determined.
She was the last person to be abducted to Lanruo Temple by the tree demon. Her yang energy was only absorbed by the tree demon three or four times. She was also a well-educated and sensible person when she was alive, and she had some fear of ghosts and gods.
Naturally, she knew that the more sins she committed, the greater the punishment she would suffer in hell after death. Therefore, every time she absorbed a man's yang energy, she only absorbed half of it.
A man whose yang energy is absorbed by half will not die, but will be in a state of mental depression for a long time.
Therefore, Nie Xiaoqian is the only female ghost with the lightest sins among all the female ghosts.
After hearing no sound, Nie Xiaoqian cautiously looked towards her grandmother who was digesting Yang energy and her sisters who were lying on the ground, their lives unknown.
Nie Xiaoqian saw that her grandmother had entered a state of cultivation and would not notice her, so she slowly approached the sister closest to her and helped her up.
"Xiao Qian?" The female ghost Haitang saw that it was Xiao Qian who helped her up. She looked at her with some surprise, then quickly glanced at her grandmother, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that her grandmother was still practicing.
Haitang's soul was weak at this moment, and she had no strength in her body. If Xiaoqian hadn't come to help her, she could only continue to lie on the ground and wait for her soul to recover.
Haitang leaned against the pillar, pushed Xiaoqian and said, "Xiaoqian, you should go into the urn and continue to recuperate. If grandma finds out that you are well, she will let you go out and seduce men to absorb their yang energy."
The tree demon is a scoundrel who will take advantage of any opportunity to enslave them and take them out to absorb Yang energy for the grandmother to consume.
Haitang knew that Xiaoqian didn't want to absorb men's yang energy, but they were controlled by their grandmother, so they had to do it even if they didn't want to. Xiaoqian was about to die, so their grandmother took out Nie Xiaoqian's ashes.
Haitang's own ashes were hidden by her grandmother. Her injured soul can only be healed slowly, unlike Xiaoqian who can return to her own urn to recuperate.
Xiao Qian looked at Haitang's soul that had become transparent and frowned, "Haitang, are you okay? Your soul is almost gone."
Haitang shook her head, "It's okay, go back first and don't come out now."
Nie Xiaoqian looked at her grandma and nodded, "Then I'll go back."
Haitang hummed softly and closed her eyes to rest.
The appearance of Nie Xiaoqian made Li Muyang see clearly that Nie Xiaoqian's sins were the lightest among all the female ghosts. Even under Li Muyang's "backroom manipulation", Nie Xiaoqian could directly enter reincarnation.
But Li Muyang didn't want to do that. At most, he would let Nie Xiaoqian go and would not consume his merits to help Nie Xiaoqian reincarnate.
He consumes very little merit when helping other female ghosts, but the same cannot be said for the heroine.
Nie Xiaoqian is the heroine. If he helps her to reincarnate, the merits required will most likely be consumed at multiple rates. Li Muyang feels that Nie Xiaoqian is not qualified to make him consume a large amount of merits.
