Chapter 710 Catching Ghosts
Xiaoli obviously remained rational in the face of what the two said.

"Do you like to eat tofu too?" Qiu Sheng also looked curious.

"Yes, tofu is smooth and shiny, and ghosts will also be smooth and shiny if they eat it!" Xiaoli frowned and asked:

"But it's not normal for you to be selling tofu here in the middle of the night! So, is there something wrong with your tofu?"

Xiaoli looked as if to say, "I see through you all," which immediately left Qiu Sheng and Wencai speechless.

How could there be such a clever ghost? It was hard to fool him. Seeing that he couldn't hide it from Xiaoli, Wencai confessed:

These tofus are mixed with soul-attracting incense, and they are naturally very attractive to ghosts. We~.

"Shh, shh, keep your voice down!" Qiu Sheng quickly grabbed Xiao Li and explained the whole story to her.

"Oh~! So it's really because of me!"

Xiaoli was not an unreasonable person. When she heard that it was her fault that Qiu Sheng and Wencai got into trouble, she immediately stopped making trouble.

"Oh my, so many people are here to eat your tofu!"

Suddenly, Xiaoli pointed behind Qiu Sheng and Wencai.

When they both looked back, they saw a swarm of wandering ghosts rushing towards them!

"Ah! Run!" Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They immediately picked up the tofu baskets and ran towards the agreed place.

The tofu with soul-attracting incense added, plus the yang energy from the two people, were like lights in the dark night, attracting these wandering ghosts to chase after them.

"Master and Junior Brother, help!"

When they arrived outside Renjia Town, they saw Uncle Jiu and Lin Hao who were on high alert, and they both shouted hurriedly.

Uncle Jiu also had a serious look on his face and looked at Lin Hao.

"Ah Hao, use the ghost-luring spell!"

"Yes, Master!"

The master and his disciple flew forward, stood behind Qiu Sheng and Wencai, and began to chant spells.

The two of them were like two lighthouses, leading all these wandering ghosts towards the direction of the Xiantian Bagua Formation.

Ordinary ghosts act based on instinct and the regrets of their previous lives, and they do not have the mental ability like Xiaoli.

Soon, this pursuit and escape operation lured hundreds of wandering ghosts into the Xiantian Bagua Formation.

"Open~!" Uncle Jiu then shouted angrily.

As the originally dark suburbs suddenly rose, eight pillars of divine light appeared. Runes flowed on the pillars of light, forming a cage.

Below the formation, there was a long banner with runes for exorcising ghosts written on it. Above the formation, there was a pattern of the innate Bagua.

Just like a pot lid, it covered all the ghosts.

"Do it!"

The Maoshan Taoist priests who had been hiding in the darkness for a long time jumped out from the side, each holding their signature magical tools, and began to collect these wandering ghosts.

Some people use soul-catching bells, some use soul-sealing jars, and some, like Uncle Jiu, can even capture ghosts with just a wine jar and a yellow talisman.

However, the eldest senior brother of Maoshan became the most shining one in the whole audience.

With his lightning-like thunder fist, wherever he passed, the souls flew away. All these wandering ghosts were killed mercilessly by him.

The most important thing is that he also intends to drive these wandering ghosts towards Lin Hao.

"Ahao!"

When Uncle Jiu saw this scene, his face suddenly changed. The other brothers were also very dissatisfied when they saw Shi Jian behave like this.

Unfortunately, Lin Hao disappointed Shi Jian.

At some point, Lin Hao's entire body was shining with golden light, like a god, holding a soul-nourishing flag in his hand.

This soul-nourishing banner was made by Lin Hao according to the runes on Uncle Jiu's ghost-collecting jar and the ghost-collecting talisman.

After all, in those novels about cultivating immortals, there is always a soul-collecting flag or a soul-nourishing flag or something like that.

I saw the runes on it flowing, and as Lin Hao cast his spell, all the wandering ghosts that approached were absorbed into his soul-nourishing banner.

"Good move!" Shi Jian had an expression of admiration on his face, but he was very unhappy in his heart.

Lin Hao has power, strength, and handsomeness, which makes him have an ominous premonition that his son will become the next leader.

What Shi Jian could see, other Maoshan Taoist priests could also see, and they all praised:
"Senior Brother Lin's disciple is truly extraordinary!"

"Yes, not only has he reached the Earth Master level at such a young age, his weapon refining skills are also extraordinary!"

"It seems that Maoshan is really going to prosper!"

Xiaoli, the female ghost hiding in the corner, was also moved by Lin Hao's appearance.

Who says female ghosts are not lustful?

"Hey, isn't that the Taoist priest who let me go yesterday? He looks so handsome in his majestic and powerful appearance!"

"Ahem, that's our junior fellow apprentice. Although he's very handsome, aren't we handsome too?"

Qiu Sheng curled his lips. As expected, where the junior brother was, there was no place for the two of them.

"My little junior brother, don't think about it!" Qiu Sheng then advised unwillingly:
"He has a fiancée, and he has several close female friends who like her and are even willing to be his mistresses. It's not your turn!"

"Hmph~!" Xiaoli didn't want to pay attention to Qiu Sheng and just looked at Lin Hao obsessively.

At this time, Lin Hao also subdued all the wandering ghosts that Shi Jian had driven towards him with the Soul-Nourishing Banner.

The surroundings suddenly became clear, and suddenly a fragrant breeze blew in. Xiaoli, a female ghost in a gauze dress, jumped directly into his arms.

Then Xiaoli said delicately:

"Sir, I'm so scared! Please save me!"

As soon as Lin Hao saw it, he knew that this female ghost had some kind of opportunity. Even though she was only a ghost for a few decades, the key point was that she had no blood on her body.

The old ghost, whose cultivation is comparable to that of hundreds of years old, said that he was afraid, but in fact he was not very afraid of other Maoshan Taoist priests.

"Miss, aren't you afraid that I will take you in?"

"Okay, okay, then please accept me as your mister. I can make the bed and fold the quilt, and I can also be your beautiful lady!"

Wow, another love-brained girl. I’ve never seen anyone so persistent.

"Be careful!" Just as Xiaoli was acting coquettishly and cute, Lin Hao pulled her behind him.

Then Lin Hao looked at Shi Jian and immediately knew what Shi Jian was thinking.

It turned out that Shi Jian saw a female ghost throwing herself into Lin Hao's arms, and the two were talking and laughing, and he immediately felt that the opportunity had come.

I wanted to kill a female ghost, but you insisted on standing in front of me. You deserved it. It was just an accident!

There was a flash of cold light in his eyes, and lightning flashed in his hand, turning into a lightning arc that directly enveloped Lin Hao and the female ghost.

"Lightning Thunder Fist!" A bolt of lightning struck Lin Hao, launching an indiscriminate attack!
Obviously, he wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of Lin Hao.

"Boom, crack!" Then a bolt of lightning struck Lin Hao directly.

Lin Hao also brought Xiao Li with him. Originally, he wanted to rely on his Thunder Domination ability to directly absorb the incoming thunder and recharge himself.

But he soon realized that this was his trump card after all, so he activated the Maoshan Five Thunders Method. Then he condensed a Yin-Yang Eight Diagrams Thunder Handprint in his hand and went forward.

"Thunder Method? Boy, I am the only one in Maoshan who knows the Five Thunder Method. Where did you steal this method?"

Shi Jian's face turned a little dark. Lin Hao's tenacity was beyond his expectations.

Even though he didn't use his full strength, but with his strength, this lightning and thunder punch would at least seriously injure Lin Hao even if he didn't die, and his cultivation would inevitably be damaged.

What was unexpected was that he not only took on his signature Lightning Thunder Fist, but also used thunder magic as well.

The Five Thunders Law is the forbidden art of his lineage, so how can he allow others to have access to it?

"Master taught me the Shangqing Maoshan Five Thunders Orthodox Method. I have made some progress in my practice. I wonder what Master thinks of it?"

Uncle Jiu has already stood up. If Shi Jian dares to do something dirty again, he will definitely fight back.

The other fellow disciples were also stunned by this scene. It turned out that Uncle Jiu’s little disciple also knew the Five Thunders Method.

Is it possible that things are going to change in Maoshan?
At this time, everyone had different thoughts and remained silent.

"Okay!" Shi Jian gritted his teeth and said:

"What a talented boy, but unfortunately, he secretly learned the master's unique skills without the master's consent. How different is he from a demon!"

Shi Jian wanted to nail Lin Hao's head directly to the evil pillar of shame to make it easier for him to suppress him.

Who knew that Uncle Jiu on the side disagreed and directly retorted:

"Brother, what you said is a little wrong. The Five Thunders Method is not the technique passed down by the headmaster. The headmaster of Maoshan passed down the Shangqing Great Cave Sutra."

"As long as you are a disciple of Mount Mao and meet the training requirements, you can practice the Five Thunders Righteous Law. How come it becomes a heresy in your mouth?"

Shi Jian looked at Uncle Jiu coldly. In front of so many fellow apprentices, he couldn't directly deny what Uncle Jiu said.

Only the Shangqing Dadong Sutra is recognized as the master's inheritance, which cannot be denied.

Because cultivation has become increasingly difficult over the years, the techniques passed down by the sect leader are no longer followed as strictly as they were in the past.

Otherwise, he would not have been able to rely on the Shangqing Five Thunders Method to defeat Lin Zhengying and become the head of the sect.

Seeing Xiao Li throwing herself into Lin Hao's arms, Shi Jian's eyes lit up, and then he said righteously:
"Humph, just protecting the female ghost is not the right thing to do!"

"Brother, you are too violent!"

Uncle Jiu glanced at Xiaoli behind Lin Hao and knew that his apprentice was attractive to the opposite sex. He didn't expect that even female ghosts could not escape his clutches.

"These lonely ghosts didn't do anything evil. Under my Lightning Thunder Fist, they were instantly shattered. They don't even have the chance to reincarnate!"

"Humph, they have disturbed the human world, which is a great sin. They deserve death!"

Shi Jian snorted coldly, and when he saw Uncle Jiu protecting Lin Hao closely, he knew he had no chance, so he turned and left.

"Okay, you can leave as well!" After Shi Jian left, Lin Hao turned around and said to Xiao Li who was hiding behind him:
"You made Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai commit a serious mistake yesterday, and now you're here again. Do you really want to be beaten to death by the Lightning Thunder Fist?"

Little did he know that his heroic act of saving the female ghost just now would make the female ghost fall in love with him even more.

"I am willing to follow you, my benefactor, to repay you for saving my life!"

"There's no need for that. How about I ask my master to send you to reincarnate!" Lin Hao advised helplessly.

"Alright, Ahao, we've almost finished collecting all the wandering ghosts. I'll keep this female ghost with you for now to avoid any more trouble!"

When Uncle Jiu saw that the other fellow disciples had also finished their training, he gave Lin Hao some instructions.

To avoid any fuss and being laughed at by other fellow disciples here.

"Junior brother, your disciples all have their own characteristics, each one is more powerful than the other. They really bring honor to our Maoshan!"

When Shi Jian passed by Lin Hao, he said something meaningful.

"Ah Hao, be careful when you go back. Your master uncle is narrow-minded. You offended him today. I don't think it will be so easy to get rid of it!"

"Master, don't worry. I'm not someone you can easily mess with. Besides, I won't let him succeed easily."

Without Shi Jian's interference, after working for most of the night, hundreds of ghosts were quickly caught.

After Uncle Jiu gathered all the ghosts together, he asked Lin Hao to help settle these fellow disciples.

Well, the main reason is that there isn’t that much space in the charity cemetery, so Lin Hao has to help arrange it.

After making arrangements with his fellow uncles from Maoshan, Lin Hao prepared to return to the charity cemetery.

However, Xiaoli seemed to have determined Lin Hao and kept whispering in Lin Hao's ear:

"Sir, my name is Xiaoli. Finally, there are only two of us left!"

"No, I'm the only one, and you're a female ghost!"

"Sir, you are so boring. Even if I am a female ghost, I am still a beautiful and kind female ghost!"

"If you were kind, you wouldn't have lied to Qiu Sheng and Wen Cai to defeat the ghost messenger~!"

"I did that to escape the custody of the ghost!"

On the way home, the female ghost Xiaoli kept showing off herself, while Lin Hao chatted with her intermittently.

If Lin Hao's mental strength wasn't too high and he had already tried it on Dong Xiaoyu, Lin Hao really wouldn't mind trying this Xiaoli.

However, Lin Hao not only knew what it felt like, but he could also see the ghost's true appearance clearly. It couldn't be said that it was ugly, but it was horrible, which made Lin Haosheng lose all sexual interest, so there was no need to get entangled with her.

To put it bluntly, if she wasn't so beautiful and had never hurt anyone, Lin Hao would have used a thunder spell to help her to be reincarnated.

"Okay, stop wasting your time here!"

Although Xiaoli acts cute and silly, Lin Hao will not be fooled by her appearance.

"Sir, please accept me. I will be loyal to you!"

There was a gleam of wisdom in Xiaoli's eyes. She had her own opportunities to achieve her current strength.

But Lin Hao didn't want to continue to tangle with her, so he took out a paper man and said:
"If you follow me, you will become like her!"

This paper figure was none other than the ghost of Dong Xiaoyu. However, because it had followed Lin Hao for such a long time, the hostility in its body had long been cleared away.

When Xiaoli looked at Dong Xiaoyu's paper figure, she immediately discovered the soul inside and instinctively took a step back.

But she knew that Lin Hao also knew thunder magic, and was no worse than the leader of Maoshan.

She just liked Lin Hao's looks, her heroic spirit, and she was also envious of Lin Hao's breath of life.

But after considering for a long time, Xiaoli finally gave up, because she didn't want to become Lin Hao's tool ghost like the soul inside this paper man.

After returning to the charity cemetery, with the assistance of Simu and Qianhe, Uncle Jiu was responsible for handing all the ghosts over to the Yincha and asking them to go back and report.

But now Dong Xiaoyu is of little use to Lin Hao, so Lin Hao took this opportunity to let the ghost take her away.

However, Lin Hao was still considerate enough to find Uncle Jiu and ask for two silver notes of 10 million taels each for the two girls so that they could be born into good families in the future.

Holding the 10 million taels of silver handed over by Lin Hao, Dong Xiaoyu and Xiaoli looked at Lin Hao with nostalgia.

"Sir~!" Before Xiao Li could finish her words, Lin Hao shook his head and interrupted:

"Go, humans and ghosts have different paths, you and I are not destined to be together, hurry back to the underworld and find a good family to reincarnate into!"

Xiaoli and Dong Xiaoyu looked at Lin Hao reluctantly, and were then sent back to the underworld under the guidance of the ghost.
