Chapter 32: Ghosts in the Wood

The afternoon sunshine falls on the courtyard, warm and comfortable. Su Yi sat in a bamboo chair, tying a cluster of green willow branches.

The courtyard has been thoroughly cleaned, spacious and clean.

Hu Quan also carefully added bedding, toiletries, and other items, and repaired the vegetable beds and rattan trellis.

Wu Guangbin and three other physicians have returned to Xinghuang Medical Center for consultation.

On the contrary, the shopkeeper Su Yi became idle.

Su Ge, what is this rooster for

Not far away, Huang Qianjun was playing with a newly bought rooster in a boring way.

This bird is extremely fierce, with sharp claws and a pointed beak. It walks like the wind and cries loudly.

Huang Qianjun, along with more than ten servants, almost dug up three feet of the city market before finding such a majestic rooster.

Kill, let's bleed

Su Yi casually instructed.

After experiencing today's events, he suddenly realized that having someone around to do odd jobs is also good, as it can save a lot of time and energy.

Okay

Huang Qianjun took out a short knife from his waist and began to work.

Not long after, he brought a bowl of fresh red chicken blood to Su Yi's side.

Alright, there's nothing else for you, you can go home now

Su Yi picked up a bundle of willow branches that had been tied up and slowly dipped the tips into the chicken blood bowl. The green leaves and crimson blood blended together, making it particularly eye-catching.

Huang Qianjun hesitated and said, "Su Ge, in my opinion, all the people who worked for Wen Changqing at Xinghuang Medical Clinic have been driven away by you. If Wen Changqing knows, he will definitely not give up easily. Should I go to my father to warn Wen Changqing

Su Yi glanced at him and said, "If you're interested, go and help me inquire which family in Guangling City is the best at forging weapons

Huang Qianjun's spirit was lifted and he said, "Brother Su, this matter is too easy to handle. My Huang family monopolizes the refining business in the city, and there are more than thirty refining masters alone! If you want to refine any weapon, feel free to say it, and I promise to have the best refining master serve you

Su Yi finally realized that the three major clans in Guangling City, the Wen family monopolizes the herbal medicine business, the Li family monopolizes the grain industry, and the Huang family monopolizes the refining business.

I plan to forge a sword, "Su Yi said.

Huang Qianjun suddenly smiled and said, "Forging a sword? Then go find Wang Tianyang. Wang's sword refining technique is truly unique in Guangling City, and many outsiders come here to seek a good sword from him

Su Yi nodded and said, "Come here tomorrow morning and take me to meet him

Huang Qianjun readily agreed and said, "Su Ge, is there anything else

He is extremely enthusiastic when it comes to serving Su Yi.

Go home quickly

Su Yi waved her hand.

Su Ge, I'll come back tomorrow

Huang Qianjun just bowed and left.

He is very tactful, and if he keeps sticking to Su Yi, it will also provoke his annoyance.

Just like when he used to wander around brothels, what annoyed him the most were the attendants sent by his father to his side

After soaking the tied willow branches in the blood of the rooster, Su Yi picked up a knife and chopped on a three foot piece of green peach wood.

As the fine sawdust peeled off, a peach wood sword quickly took shape.

Then, Su Yi got up from the bamboo chair, held the peach wood sword in front of him and looked at it for a moment before nodding in satisfaction.

Just wait for tonight

Su Yi casually waved his peach wood sword and glanced at the green willow branches soaked in the blood of the rooster.

His gaze immediately shifted and fell on an old locust tree not far from the courtyard.

Huai, the ghost in the wood!

This tree belongs to Yin and is most susceptible to attracting ghosts and evil spirits to parasitize on it.

The layout of this courtyard is bad only on the side of the locust tree, with a well dug and a surge of yin and evil energy underground, which will only turn this courtyard into a "haunted house" in the eyes of ordinary people.

This well has obviously been sealed off, so it seems that someone had already noticed the problem in this well

Unfortunately, no one told me these things

Su Yi was lost in thought.

……

Wen Jia.

Wen Changqing's residence.

Father, just received the news that Su Yi, that scoundrel, took over the business of Xinghuang Medical Clinic on the first day and kicked all the servants out of our family. Isn't this a slap in our face

Wen Jieyuan angrily said.

He is the son of Wen Changqing. He is 19 years old and has just enough blood. He has the accomplishment of "refining meat" in the blood realm. In half a year, he will go to Qinghe Sword House to practice.

I didn't expect this useless person to be so ruthless

Wen Changqing frowned and said, 'Where is he now?'

Wen Jieyuan said, "It's said to be the haunted house that settled behind Xinghuang Medical Clinic

Hmm

Wen Changqing's eyes turned strange, and his furrowed brow relaxed as he said, "If that's the case, there's no need for us to take action at all. Even the useless wouldn't survive tonight

Why is this? "Wen Jieyuan was taken aback.

Wen Changqing recalled, "Nine years ago, there was a tragic incident in that haunted house where a doctor and two drug addicts all died suddenly overnight

This matter has caused a stir in the city and seriously affected the business of our Xinghuang Hospital

I spent a lot of money and entrusted someone to hire a well-known wandering Taoist priest

This person's name is Wu Ruoqiu. When he entered the haunted house, he said that there was a ferocious ghost attached to the well next to the old locust tree

According to Taoist Wu, unless one possesses the level of a master, no one can subdue that monster

Upon hearing this, Wen Jieyuan was startled and asked, "What happened later

Wen Changqing said, "Taoist Wu asked me to forge a batch of chains and seal that water well with a strange secret technique. He said that as long as the living do not live in that courtyard, that ghost will not appear again

Upon hearing this, Wen Jieyuan suddenly understood, 'So, as long as Su Yi stays in that haunted house tonight, he will undoubtedly die?'

The most new and small to say in the book of ⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥⊥\886!

Wen Changqing smiled and said, "It should be so. Throughout this year, I have never understood why the old lord insisted on Lingzhao marrying Su Yi. But no matter what, if Su Yi dies, it would be a good thing for our Wen family

Wen Jieyuan nodded repeatedly and said, "Not bad. Now that Sister Lingzhao is about to become a 'master disciple', is such an identity that Su Yi, a useless person, can match? As long as he dies, it will also be a good thing for Sister Lingzhao

Wen Changqing's expression suddenly became serious as he said, "This matter must not be leaked to anyone else, otherwise others will know. We know that there is a problem with the haunted house, but if we don't remind Su Yi, we will inevitably be affected

Wen Jieyuan smiled and agreed, "I understand. Let's call it his own death. Do you really think Xinghuang Medical Clinic is so easy to obtain? Speaking of which, it should be his mother-in-law Qinqing who killed Su Yi

Wen Changqing scolded, "Don't be reckless. That's your third aunt and Lingzhao's mother. Remember to show more respect in the future

Wen Jieyuan nodded disapprovingly.

Night is gradually falling.

The Apricot Yellow Clinic, which has been busy all day, has closed its doors.

In the courtyard, Su Yi sat alone in her room, breathing and meditating. Her qi and blood flowed around her, constantly kneading the fascia of her entire body.

This is the third level of "refining muscles" in the Blood Moving Realm.

The so-called muscle training is to use qi and blood to refine the fascia of the body, making it as tough as bowstring and as soft as cotton wool, thus making the body as flexible as a raccoon.

As the saying goes, it rises like an arrow, falls like the wind, moves like a raccoon, and can perform actions that are difficult for ordinary people to do.

The core of all of this lies in 'refining muscles'.

After the fascia is tempered, the body's strength will also skyrocket significantly.

In the cultivation of the Blood Moving Realm, it has been widely recognized since ancient times that "refining the flesh is easy, but refining the muscles and bones is difficult". When starting to refine the muscles, it is equivalent to reaching the later stage of the Blood Moving Realm.

After a long time, Su Yi got up from meditation and drank the prepared cup of tea in one gulp, feeling the warm and boiling power all over his body. He couldn't help but look forward to tonight's action.

Since his reincarnation, he has not truly engaged in a true battle.

Who would have thought that the first opponent could be a ghost?

Next, Su Yi picked up the tied willow branches and peach wood sword, walked out of the room, moved a bamboo chair, and sat casually in front of the stone steps.

The bundle of willow branches was soaked in the blood of the rooster for several hours, and the green leaves and branches had a faint red color. When held in the hand, it looked like a soft whip.

Taomu Sword was leaned against the side of the bamboo chair by Su Yi.

When he really needs to wield a sword, it means he needs to use his true form.

If it were any other blood moving realm, even if I encountered ordinary ghosts, I'm afraid they wouldn't be opponents. However, in my past life, I had a fight with the Ximing Ghost Emperor, and he was willing to accept defeat and obediently gave me a copy of the Ten Directions Asura Sutra, which is said to be the highest Taoist scripture in the eyes of Ghost Xiu Yi

Su Yi sat there, unable to help but his thoughts fly.

The night breeze is blowing, and the sky is getting darker and darker.

It was close to dawn, and the lights on the streets of Guangling City had gradually gone out. The darkness was like a tide, flooding the earth.

The entire city seemed to have calmed down from the hustle and bustle, falling into sleep, with only occasional barking of dogs coming from afar.

Tonight, the sky is shrouded in thick dark clouds, obscuring the starlight.

In the courtyard where Su Yi is located, there is only a flickering candle in the room, which appears dim and dim through the window paper.

He held a willow twig in his hand and sat quietly in the darkness of the night, calm and composed.

Only in those eyes, there was a hint of anticipation permeating.

Suddenly, on the old locust tree in the courtyard, the branches swayed and the leaves rustled, like a series of distant and close whispers in the night.

On one side of the ancient well, the rusty and mottled chains tied to the manhole cover resembled a group of awakened snakes, rubbing and wriggling against each other, making a sound like the neighing of a night owl, which made one's teeth ache.

The air suddenly became cold, like a cold winter current invading, piercing the bone marrow.

Huh~

On the ground, as soon as the leaves of the locust tree fell, they were swept up by a gust of dark wind and flew in the ink like night sky, dancing wildly like countless shadows.

Su Yi's green robe was blown by the wind, making a hunting noise.

His pupils also narrowed slightly.

When a gust of dark wind swept over the fallen leaves, he finally moved.

Raise your right arm and shake your wrist.

A bundle of soft willow branches with a faint red luster suddenly straightened and whipped down in the void.

Snap!

Crispy as thunder, exploding in the darkness of the night.
