Chapter 307: Princess Marries, the Dead Resurrects

The night was long, and the men in the imperial prison told stories about gods, ghosts, foxes and mountain monsters. They were frightened and excited, and Cao Jie listened attentively.

"It's my turn! It's my turn! Brother Zuo, let me tell you a story about a Sichuan woman and a Qingcheng woman."

"Female ghost?"

"No! No! Please listen to me and I will tell you slowly."

"It is said that in Shu, there was a newly married man who had intercourse with his new wife, but do you know what happened? The penis broke... and he bled to death!"

"What's broken?"

"The ancestral roots are cut off."

"Why? How could the bride have such divine power?"

"Of course they were bitten off. An official examination showed that the woman's breasts were covered with white teeth, which were jagged on both sides. They were vaginal teeth!"

"How could there be such a woman in the world? How strange!"

All the men present were young and full of vigor. Upon hearing this strange story, they immediately became excited and jokingly asked him to talk about the "Qingcheng woman" again.

It is said that there are several villages around Qingcheng Mountain, where many women have sex with snakes, and the girls are born with sharp beaks and snake-like tongues in their vaginas. When they indulge in sexual intercourse, the tongues may come out, and once they enter the vagina, the men will lose their penis and die instantly.

After the two stories were told, no one felt sleepy anymore and the atmosphere was completely heated.

There is not much entertainment in this era, but most people don’t dare to talk about ghosts around the fire at night.

Because there really are ghosts!
If you are not careful, a living person will talk about ghosts, and a ghost will listen and ask you if you are afraid.

"Let me tell you about a painted skin ghost..."

"I'm talking about the Rakshasa Kingdom!"

According to Cao Jie's summary, ghosts are basically divided into three types.

One is the monsters formed after human mutation or death, such as Nie Xiaoqian and zombies; one is the monsters formed after animals, plants or certain solids exist for too long and absorb the essence of heaven and earth, such as Bai Suzhen and White Bone Spirit; one is rare and exotic animals, because the ancients were surprised by them and thought they were also monsters, such as the fish man and nine-tailed fox in "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

In this Kyoto, the biggest monster is naturally the national teacher Pudu Cihang.

That is a centipede monster that has been practicing for thousands of years. Although it is a monster, it wants to transform into a dragon with its monster body.

Just like Li Jun's soul was originally a snake, but he was able to continuously practice and transform into a dragon, Zhang Shun's carp soul was also able to leap over the Dragon Gate and transform into a dragon.

The centipede can also transform into a dragon, but Pu Du Ci Hang went astray and wanted to devour the fortune of an entire country to replace thousands of years of hard practice.

With such a big monster causing trouble, Kyoto is certainly not a good place.

Cao Jie used his identity as a small flag officer to review some files. After careful deduction, he found many traces of crimes committed by ghosts and spirits.

Of course, it is not ruled out that living people may kill people by pretending to be ghosts or gods.

Fortunately, there is a curfew in Kyoto.

When ghosts kill people, they kill those who don't follow the rules.

That night, the dark clouds in the sky dispersed and a ray of moonlight shone down.

The moon, like a silver plate, hangs high in the sky.

In many unofficial histories and anecdotes, there are rumors of pythons spitting out elixirs, old foxes swallowing pearls, and using moonlight to practice cultivation on full-moon nights.

With such moonlight and at such a low point, how could there not be hundreds of ghosts parading at night?

Cao Jie was wearing a nightgown and the dog was walking stealthily in the dark.

Recently, several men have died mysteriously in Xicheng District, and the imperial court has done nothing. As a member of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, Cao Jie, a small flag officer with the function of assisting in maintaining public security in the capital, must step forward.

Xiaoqi's official position is too low. If he wants to find Ruan Xiaoqi, he must be promoted to have greater power.

You need to be at least a thousand households to travel around the world with the identity of the imperial court!
For example, you have to go to Lanruo Temple and see the world.

After all, the "Living Yama" traveled here in the form of a soul, which means he is a ghost. Naturally, the quickest way is to go to find the Black Mountain Old Demon.

And when walking in this world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio, how can one not be accompanied by a few ghosts?

This body does not have the talent to conceive a god, but it can conquer ghosts with "virtue" and can also cultivate a physical version of the "Five Ghost Techniques".

The night was as dark as water. Suddenly, a lantern appeared on the quiet street ahead. Cao Jie walked closer and saw that it was a young woman selling noodles.

"Little brother, do you want some noodles? I'll give you some from below!"

"..."

Cao Jie lifted her head and said with a faint smile: "I'll give you another chance to speak."

"My Lord, I will never dare to do that again. Please spare my life. I am willing to be your slave."

You deserve it too.

A ghost that is even worse than a sick ghost, a thing that can be blown away by a breath of yang energy.

The strength of this ghost is just like that of a monster. It is not at a high enough level to transform into a human, and its form only changes, but it is full of demonic aura.

A wise and knowledgeable person can see it at a glance.

But for those who are a little more skilled, the evil spirit is hidden.

Only when it eats humans does it reveal its true form and show its evil aura.

That kind of top-level monster does not have any demonic aura even when it is eating humans.

It's like a monkey who has attained Buddhahood.

At that time, monsters are Buddhas, and Buddhas are monsters.

The same is true for ghosts. The sick ghosts devour the prisoners' thoughts and energy without showing any signs at all.

Cao Jie couldn't see its true form, and even when he used pure Yang Qi, he could only sense it slightly.

This little ghost didn't have that kind of strength, and it was revealed once the yang energy was forced.

Cao Jie shouted, "I ask you a question, what's going on in Kyoto recently?"

"Now that the Ming Dynasty has a national master, there will be good weather and good harvests, and the country will last forever..."

"I asked you what's going on in the underworld."

"The underworld... the princess is getting married again, tonight."

Cao Jie raised his eyebrows: "The princess in the Princess Tomb?"

"Yes Yes."

It is said that this Princess Tomb is where a princess from the time of Emperor Taizong was buried. It was rumored that she had an affair with a monk, and later participated in a rebellion, and was eventually sentenced to death.

In the past sixty years, for some unknown reason, all kinds of strange stories have been heard about the Princess Tomb.

Someone was invited by the princess, and Tianming found a few more gold ingots in his arms.

Some people became withered overnight, but they never had to worry about food and drink for the rest of their lives, and became rich and powerful, as if they were married to a princess.

No matter what the truth is, there may really be an old ghost lurking in this princess's tomb.

After all, the Ming Dynasty has been around for more than two hundred years. If a princess from the time of Emperor Taizong became a romantic female ghost, then she would have had two hundred years of cultivation.

Cao Jie did not delay any longer and ran towards Gongzhufen.

Sure enough, the sounds of trumpets and suonas rang out in the night, and a wedding procession appeared under the moonlight.

The bright red sedan was dazzling, and the bearers who carried it took nine shallow steps and one deep step. It seemed that after every nine steps, the entire team, including the sedan, would jump a little, which looked particularly strange.

Cao Jie squinted his eyes and saw that the sedan bearers' faces were frighteningly pale, with their cheeks rosy with too much color.

They are paper figures.

Most ordinary ghosts are almost non-existent. Real objects cannot touch them, and they cannot touch real objects either.

However, if the ghost becomes powerful, its soul will slowly transform from nothingness to entity, and from nothingness to entity.

With the help of paper figures, these little ghosts have the power to move living people.

Cao Jie sneered and followed boldly.
