At eight in the evening, Jiang Chu and Yue Yinping arrived outside Wang Yan’s house. They did not go to Wang Yan’s house, but instead jumped into the temple and climbed up the roof.

Yue Yinping asked softly: Second brother, why are we here at the temple? Aren’t we going to Auntie Wang’s house to catch ghosts?

Jiang Chu hurriedly interrupted Yue Yinping and said. Be quiet. Even if you want to catch ghosts, you have to discover them first. We’ll watch from here and wait for them to appear.

After roughly an hour, Jiang Chu’s eyes lit up and said softly: “They’re here. Don’t make any sound, lest we alert them.”

However, Yue Yinping said: “Where are you?” Why didn’t I see anything?

You don’t have a Sky Eye, of course you wouldn’t see it. After Jiang Chu finished, he waved his hand in front of Yue Yinping’s eyes and said: Look, look at that big tree in the west.

Yue Yinping rubbed her eyes and looked towards the direction where Jiang Chu was pointing. She immediately covered her cherry lips as the hairs on her body stood up. Even though it was her first time seeing ghosts due to her courage, she was still quite frightened.

He saw two people sitting on a branch of a large tree in the west. Although they were called humans, they were not suitable. They only had the shape of humans. Moreover, it was erratic, as if it could be blown away by the wind at any time.

It was like a paper man being cut, dancing along with the wind, swaying non-stop. The two ghosts were a man and a woman, both in their twenties. Their faces were pale and they were wearing life clothes. They were most likely the same clothes they wore when they died.

They sat on the branches of the trees and stared at the temple as they slowly moved forward, as if they were afraid that they would accidentally fall down. Just as they were about to enter the temple’s vicinity, they stopped. Then he took a deep breath and let it out. Every time they breathed in, their bodies would become more solid. After they spat out, they would become erratic again.

Yue Yinping was very curious, and wanted to speak, but was stopped by a look from Jiang Chu. Just at this moment, another ghost floated up to the top of the tree from below. Its figure was clearly more solid than the two young men from before. His cultivation was probably higher than theirs. The three of them did not even bother to greet him as they continued to cultivate.

Jiang Chu touched Yue Yinping and indicated for her to look at another tree. When Yue Yinping looked at it, she was shocked again. She actually saw the Yellow Great Deity from last night, jumping and climbing towards the big tree. The tree was so tall, and in a few moments, it was already on top of the tree.

Then, out of nowhere, a three meter long serpent crawled out. It was as thick as an adult’s forearm. He wrapped himself around the tree trunk and slowly climbed up, stopping outside the walls of the temple.

From this point of view, whether it was ghosts or monsters, no one dared to go past the walls of the temple and enter the temple. They just tried to get as close to the temple as possible.

The following scene shocked the two of them even more. By eleven o’clock, there were more than a dozen ghosts on the big tree to the west, absorbing the spiritual energy of the temple.

On the big tree to the east, other than the Great Deity Huang and the huge snake, there was an additional cat eagle and two other huge snakes. They were all absorbing the spiritual energy emitted by the temple.

It wasn’t until three o’clock that the ghosts and monsters slowly dispersed. The first to leave were the two young ghosts in the west. It seemed that their cultivation was the lowest. They couldn’t withstand the slowly rising yang energy and went to hide somewhere.

Jiang Chu and Yue Shan just watched quietly, they did not disturb the ghosts and monsters. Although they were cultivating, they didn’t do anything to harm others.

Therefore, Jiang Chu did not plan to take care of them. When it was four in the morning, the two of them saw that there was nothing left on the tree. They jumped off the roof and returned to the Jiang Clan.

The day was about to break, and the two of them were no longer sleepy. They went to the backyard to practice until dawn. Only then did they wash their faces and return to their respective rooms.

After eating breakfast, Yue Yinping slipped into Jiang Chu’s room. Second brother, when are we going to catch the ghost?

Jiang Chu said: Who said I’m capturing ghosts. They are only cultivating on their own, they did not suck in people’s souls, and they did not harm anyone, so why would I capture them?

Ah, if I don’t capture them, how will I cure Aunt Wang’s illness?

The ghosts and monsters were on Aunt Wang’s tree because they could absorb the spiritual energy of the temple. Do you know why the trees and flowers in the temple are so much longer than the ones on the outside? Also, do you feel that the temples in summer are cooler than those outside?

Yes, that’s right. In a temple where the incense burns more vigorously, the trees inside are bigger and cooler.

This was because the temple’s spiritual energy was more abundant with incense. A god needed the power of faith, not spiritual energy. Therefore, all of the spiritual energy in the temple was absorbed by the plant spirits. Not only did they absorb spiritual energy, they also absorb yang energy. That was why the temple was so shady.

Second Brother, can those ghosts even absorb the spiritual energy in the temple? Aren’t you afraid that the gods will take them in?

Didn’t I just say that the gods need the power of faith, and those spiritual energy are ownerless, anyone can absorb it? But, they would not dare to enter the temple’s territory, and the moment they do, their souls will scatter. Have you ever seen animals kept in temples? That’s because raising animals in temples is too easy. Therefore, the temple only raised spirit beasts, not ordinary animals.

So how do we deal with them? You can’t just watch Aunt Wang get sick all the time, can you?

I was also worrying, and it was easy to deal with them, but I didn’t want to hurt them. If they did something evil, I would definitely destroy them. However, they were only cultivating, so this matter wasn’t easy to deal with. Since the heavens allowed them to appear, then there must be a reason for doing so. Like mosquitoes, we only feel that they are harmful and useless. However, once they were wiped out, who knew what the consequences would be?

But they’ve hurt Auntie Wang by now. We have to stop them.

Un, I can say that as well. I will talk to them at night, and if they are willing to leave, then forget it.

That night, at 10 o’clock, Wang Yan was already arranged by Jiang Chu to stay at his son’s home. Only Jiang Chu and Yue Yinping were left sitting at the door of the living room. Although it was winter, the two of them were not afraid of the cold.

When they saw two strangers sitting at the entrance of the living room, they were stunned for a moment. However, when they realized that Jiang Chu and Yue Yang did not notice them, they became relieved.

With a flutter, he flew up to the tree and, just like yesterday, started cultivating. After a while, everything that should have come had arrived. Jiang Chu slowly stood up and said softly: You have occupied two trees for so many years, shouldn’t you leave? This is someone else’s home, not your training grounds.

The ghosts and monsters on the two trees could not help but be startled, then looked towards Jiang Chu. When they saw the light shining in their eyes, they realised that they had been discovered.

A middle aged ghost landed in front of Jiang Chu, opened his hands and took human form, and said: “Who are you, we are training here, and have not harmed anyone, what right do you have to chase us away?”

Huang Great Deity jumped down from the tree in a few steps, and actually bowed to Jiang Chu like a human, and said: “Immortal Master, this is the best place to cultivate, I hope that Immortal Master can help us cultivate here.”

Jiang Chu snorted, and said: Although you did not directly harm anyone, the Yin Fiend Qi you brought had already affected the master of this house. If you two were to continue cultivating here, I am afraid your master will be killed by you two.

Hearing Jiang Chu’s words, the middle aged ghost laughed strangely twice and said: “You want us to leave, then you should also take out your ability to do so.

Yue Yinping raised her eyebrows and said coldly: Can’t I discuss this with you? If you don’t leave now, I’ll destroy your souls.

Little girl, I have cultivated for a hundred years and have become a Yin Spirit. If you dare to be impudent in front of me, do you believe that I won’t absorb your soul?

Yue Yinping released a burst of bell-like laughter. Old bastard, no matter how long you train, you are a neither human nor ghost, if you don’t scram now, your grandaunt will make her move.

When the middle aged ghost heard Yue Yinping actually dare to scold him, he immediately got angry. With a wave of his hand, a wooden stick whizzed towards Yue Yinping with the sound of the wind. Yue Yinping turned her body and flew up, kicking the wooden stick away, she took the chance and rushed towards the old ghost.

The middle-aged and elderly ghost flew up to a height of three meters and reached for Yue Yinping’s shoulder. The fingernails were at least five centimeters long, and they were incomparably hard.
