Chapter 1217: Chapter 629: Doll
This golden wedge is not a mortal object but is refined from the sharp claws of a Golden Chicken with over five hundred years of cultivation. The Golden Chicken is born with the ability to cleanse filth, and one of them has long been imprisoned in the God Demon Prison, captured by Tu Jin during a Westward expedition. Before the demon was released, it contributed many things, including several sharp claws, a bit of top crown blood, and golden feathers from its body.
Recently, under the supervision of Changtian, she has been studying the basic Artifact Refining Technique, and she used the Golden Chicken claws for experimentation. The teacher’s proficiency was lacking, and naturally, the student learned poorly. However, to deal with the little ghosts in the wild, these sharp claws, though not refined to the highest standard, should be more than sufficient with the Golden Chicken’s innate Power of Cleansing.
Yet suddenly, the place underwent a drastic change. The Ghost Baby suddenly shrieked, and pale black light flashed at its three wounds. This light wasn’t dazzling; instead, it appeared thin. Yet when it suddenly shone, the three golden wedges seemed to encounter strong acid corrosion, unexpectedly emitting blue smoke "sizzle" as their smooth surface was pitted with countless holes, the golden glow dimming while its power was evidently greatly weakened.
Luckily, the black light flickered once and then disappeared. Although the golden wedges were affected, they barely managed to hammer the ghost to the wall.
Upon witnessing this anomaly, not only did Ning Xiaoxian exclaim with a long "eh," but even Changtian’s phoenix eyes slightly narrowed, revealing a contemplative expression. This Ghost Baby with shallow cultivation nearly broke her magic artifact, which defies common sense! To her, this was an insult indeed.
Her face darkened, losing the mood to enjoy the spectacle, the fourth golden wedge flared up, ready to be thrown. Given this Ghost Baby’s negligible cultivation, hitting it in the chest would make its soul disperse and vanish.
At this moment, Granny Liu slowly regained consciousness, seeing the Ghost Baby nailed to the wall, with Changtian observing indifferently, and Ning Xiaoxian clutching a shiny object ready to throw. Although she didn’t know what that was, she instinctively felt that once Ning Xiaoxian launches it, the Ghost Baby would disappear from the world.
Seeing the ghost crying heartbrokenly, her heart surged with heat, and she leapt forward without thinking.
In front of the male and female masters, how had the Meat Ball dared to drop the chain? The vine tightened, pulling her back before she could reach outside the Barrier. Her hands and feet were bound, compelling Granny Liu to burst into tears: "Miss, please save it!"
Save it? How to save it? Ning Xiaoxian frowned slightly.
Old Man Zeng remained calm, bowing deeply: "She, she likely wandered in the wilderness for many years, which made her look like this, unable to recognize us. Miss, do you have a way to turn her back into the original Qiu’er? As long as this wish is fulfilled, we’ll be willing even to die!" Towards the end, his voice choked with emotion, and two lines of old tears uncontrollably streamed down his cheeks, dropping to the ground.
Ning Xiaoxian had not yet spoken when Changtian coldly interjected: "I already told you before, once a dead child turns into an Evil Ghost, it loses all spiritual intelligence and acts solely on its hatred towards the living. If this ghost is not removed, the entire village will perish. It’s either its death or your demise; whichever path you choose, it matters not to me, just a hundred lives. He’s accustomed to separations of life and death, apart from Ning Xiaoxian, whose mortal fate ever awakened his sorrow or touched his emotions? It barely accommodates and indulges her, merely playing along.
These two mortals keep pushing their limits, inevitably exhausting his patience. If the game continues this way, it won’t be fun. Humans are indeed greedy, never changing from antiquity to the present.
His cultivation is profound, with just a slight rise of the hostility around him, it intimidates Old Man Zeng into withdrawal. He quickly looked up, seeing the expert shrouded in shadows, clearly displeased. Having finally seen his deceased son, if they were once again separated by yin and yang, he would be unwilling in his heart, yet unsure how to articulate it, hesitantly, Granny Liu cried at Ning Xiaoxian: "Miss, please save my child, save my child!"
"Once they turn into Evil Ghosts, it’s impossible to regain their original intelligence. The so-called wandering ghosts see only what they wish and hear only what they desire," Ning Xiaoxian turned her head away this time, her face indifferent, "Keeping it would doom the entire village. The Heavenly Master has already drawn it here; having wandered outside for more than ten years, it now fixates on the Human Qi here, forever returning here. Once the two of us leave, how could you handle it?"
