Chapter 395 It’s all man-made evil
He decided to resolve the water ghost's resentment instead of simply destroying it.
Back at the river, Chen Yile cast a spell again, trying to find the trace of the water ghost.
He took out a tracking talisman, muttered something, and then lit the talisman. The talisman turned into a wisp of green smoke, floated towards the river, and finally hovered over the water.
"It's there."
Chen Yile said, then approached cautiously with the Tianshi Sword in hand.
At this moment, the river water suddenly rolled violently, and the water ghost appeared again, this time it brought a group of water monkeys.
These water monkeys were covered with green hair, had red eyes, sharp teeth and claws. Under the command of the water ghost, they pounced towards Chen Yile and Zhao Jun.
Chen Yile protected Zhao Jun behind him, chanting, "Borrow the magic of heaven and earth, heavenly soldiers and generals, obey my command and protect me. Hurry and obey the command!"
A golden light emanated from him, forming a shield that temporarily blocked the water monkey's attack.
The water ghost took the opportunity to rush towards Chen Yile, and its power seemed to be stronger than before.
Chen Yile brandished the Tianshi Sword and started a melee with the water ghost and water monkey.
Chen Yile seized the opportunity when a water monkey pounced on him, kicked it away, and then turned around and stabbed the water ghost.
The water ghost dodged sideways and grabbed Chen Yile's arm with its claws.
Chen Yile quickly pulled back his arm, turned the sword blade, and slashed towards the water ghost's waist.
The water ghost jumped back and avoided the attack.
The water monkeys continued to attack Chen Yile's shield, and the light of the shield gradually dimmed under their attacks.
Chen Yile knew that he couldn't go on like this. He took out a handful of peach wood nails from his arms and chanted a spell: "Peach wood is the guide, it can dispel evil and strengthen good, and it will be stable!"
Then he shot the peach wood nails at the water monkeys.
When the peach wood nails touched the water monkeys, it was like they had met their nemesis. The water monkeys cried out in pain and fled away.
When the water ghost saw the water monkey being repelled, he roared and rushed towards Chen Yile again.
It spewed out a black column of water, which seemed to contain countless vengeful spirits, sweeping towards Chen Yile.
Chen Yile raised the Heavenly Master Sword and chanted, "The Mysterious Sect of Heaven and Earth, the root of all Qi. I have cultivated for countless eons to prove my supernatural powers. Within and beyond the Three Realms, only the Dao reigns supreme. A golden light emanates from my body, illuminating it... Hurry, as the command goes!"
A layer of golden light appeared on his body, and the black water column hit the golden light and was bounced back.
Chen Yile took the opportunity to rush towards the water ghost and fought with it in close combat.
The two figures crossed at the riverside, and the shadows of swords and claws intertwined.
Chen Yile spotted a flaw and stabbed the water ghost in the shoulder with a sword, causing the water ghost to let out a shrill scream.
But it did not retreat, instead it attacked Chen Yile even more frantically.
It grabbed the blade of the Tianshi Sword with its other hand and pulled hard, trying to snatch the sword away.
Chen Yile gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and was in a stalemate with the water ghost.
At this moment, the water ghost suddenly let go of his hand and jumped into the river.
Chen Yile wanted to catch up, but was blocked by a powerful force.
It turned out that a water ghost had set up a barrier in the river.
Chen Yile frowned, he knew he had to break this barrier before he could continue the pursuit.
He took out some special materials from his backpack and began to set up an array by the river.
He muttered something to himself, fiddling with materials in his hands, and set up a magic circle to break through obstacles.
After the magic circle was set up, Chen Yile injected spiritual power into it. The magic circle emitted a strong light and shot towards the barrier in the river.
Under the impact of the strong light, cracks appeared on the barrier and finally shattered.
Chen Yile jumped into the river without hesitation and chased in the direction the water ghost fled.
In the river, he felt a strong resistance, but he still struggled forward.
Finally, he saw the figure of the water ghost.
The water ghost seemed to be injured and slowed down.
Chen Yile sped up and caught up with the water ghost.
When the water ghost saw Chen Yile chasing him, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by resentment.
It turned and attacked Chen Yile, and the two fought again in the river.
The river water was stirred up by them and became muddy, and the surrounding fish fled in panic.
Chen Yile waved the Tianshi Sword in the water, and each sword carried powerful spiritual power.
The water ghost's attacks became more and more fierce, but its injuries affected its performance.
Chen Yile seized the opportunity and stabbed the water ghost in the chest with a sword.
The water ghost wanted to dodge, but it was too late.
The Tianshi sword pierced the water ghost, and the water ghost let out a scream and its body began to dissipate.
Just when Chen Yile thought the water ghost was about to be destroyed, the water ghost suddenly turned into a black smoke and flew towards the river bank.
Chen Yile hurriedly chased ashore.
After getting ashore, he found that the water ghost had escaped into a cave by the river.
Chen Yile walked into the cave cautiously. The cave was dark and damp, and filled with a pungent smell.
He found some strange symbols and traces in the cave, which seemed to be related to the water ghost's origin.
After some investigation, he found some evidence of the villagers' persecution of the water ghost, as well as some records of the water ghost's resentment.
It turned out that the woman did not die immediately after being thrown into the river.
She struggled in the water and called for help from people on the shore, but the villagers remained indifferent and watched her being drowned by the river.
Her resentment continued to accumulate in the river, and eventually she turned into a water ghost.
Chen Yile walked out of the cave and felt sympathy for the water ghost's plight.
He decided to try again to resolve the water ghost's resentment instead of destroying it.
He returned to the river and saw the water ghost still struggling in the barrier.
Chen Yile walked into the barrier and said to the water ghost, "I know you died unjustly, but it's wrong for you to seek revenge like this. Those who harmed you have already been punished. If you continue to harm innocent people, your sins will only deepen."
"What do you know? They all deserve to die!"
The water ghost sneered.
"When will the cycle of revenge ever end? If you let go of your resentment, I can help you transcend and reincarnate as soon as possible."
Chen Yile said sincerely.
The water ghost seemed a little shaken, but the resentment in his eyes was still strong: "Why should I believe you?"
Chen Yile took out a soul-calming bell and shook it gently. The sound of the bell was crisp and pleasant, as if it had a soothing power.
"This is the Soul-Calming Bell. It can help you eliminate resentment and let go of hatred."
The water ghost looked at the soul-calming bell, and a complicated look flashed in his eyes.
At this moment, a powerful black force suddenly surged out from the river and rushed towards the barrier.
It turned out that the resentment of the water ghost attracted other evil spirits, and they tried to destroy Chen Yile's plan.
These evil spirits have different shapes, some are hideous little ghosts, and some are black shadows emitting a foul smell.
They attacked the barrier and Chen Yile.
Chen Yile held the Heavenly Master Sword in his hand and chanted, "The natural world of heaven and earth disperses the foul qi. The mysterious void in the cave shines brightly. The mighty gods of the eight directions make me natural... Hurry and obey the command!"
He brandished the Heavenly Master Sword and fought against these evil spirits.
