Black Mountain Old Ghost
Chapter 649 Karmic Backlash
It suddenly somersaulted, pulling out a dark nail from the ragged robe it wore. Its face wore a look of grievance, but it didn't hesitate in its actions.
With a *chih* sound, the nail pierced its own shoulder. At the same moment, Longjing Mister, who had already prepared the second talisman arrow, also had a wound open on his left shoulder, and blood seeped out.
"Evil spirit, fiend, have you seen the great gift our Zhang family has sent you?"
Zhang Family Third Master couldn't wait to attract Longjing Mister's attention immediately. His face was grim as he shouted, "You thought it was the art of creation, and while that's not wrong, it was created with your flesh and blood. It's an evil among evils, a beast among beasts."
"But even as a beast, it's connected to you by blood!"
"You even wanted to escape the Zhang family's control, harboring malicious intentions. But from the moment you entered the Zhang family, this dog chain was tied around your neck."
"With this beast here, you'll never be truly free!"
"..."
Facing his roar, Longjing Mister's actions were clearly affected, and he looked at him with a somewhat weakened gaze.
He said slowly, "I've studied many arts, but I haven't learned such a vile art. You..."
"You don't understand?"
Zhang Family Third Master leaned down slowly from the wooden boat, his foot on the gunwale. Grimly, he said, "It seems that you, an evil spirit, don't know everything."
"Let me tell you, this monster is originally your son..."
"..."
Longjing Mister's pupils also trembled slightly, "What?"
"You probably think that because you participated in the affairs of the Duan Dynasty's imperial fate, your sins are too great, and you're destined to have no children?"
Zhang Family Third Master's voice was more sinister than the wails of the ghosts in this underworld. "But that silly girl in my Zhang family is too attached to you."
"Just because you unintentionally mentioned this in front of her, she, who should have told us about this long ago, fell into a foolish delusion, single-mindedly wanting to leave you a son. Because she knew that only with this son would the Zhang family accept you, and only then would you be willing to stay."
"She respected and loved you too much, even saying that you were no ordinary person and would ascend to immortality sooner or later!"
"You are indeed deeply sinful, abandoned by the heavens, and cannot have children. However, she didn't hesitate to go to Fulu, bowing up the mountain one step at a time, seeking blessings and also seeking this son for you. But who could hide such actions from?"
"Since she obtained a son, she also had a way. There were countless wronged souls who wanted to enter this blood fetus..."
"So, your son became like this..."
"..."
As he spoke, his voice sounded like a nightmare, "You were originally a possessing evil spirit. Now, your son has also been possessed by an evil spirit. I only ask you... how does this taste?"
Heaven and earth were silent, and there was no sound in all directions. Only his cold voice echoed high, squeezing into everyone's ears.
In that instant, even Hu Ma was startled, filled with worry as he looked towards the altar.
On the altar, Longjing Mister stood still, having even forgotten to offer the second talisman arrow. Countless wronged souls and vengeful ghosts awakened by him in the City of Wrongful Deaths were entangling him with countless resentments, but he seemed unaware.
Only his face became increasingly pale, and he suddenly coughed violently. After a few coughs, a mouthful of blood suddenly gushed out from his chest, wetting his clothes.
When he raised his head, his pale face was full of confusion, "She... she did all this?"
"Senior..."
Hearing Zhang Family Third Master's words, Hu Ma couldn't suppress the rising anger in his heart, and a hint of worry appeared in his eyes. "Senior, you..."
"Then..."
Longjing Mister seemed unable to hear Hu Ma's words anymore, but his eyes were fixedly looking at the monster beside him, "Then... that was originally supposed to be my son?"
"..."
"Gah gah..."
The monster, ignorant and unaware, became even more excited when it saw Longjing Mister looking at it.
Suddenly, it pulled out the nail and kept stabbing and poking itself. Each stab caused it to scream strangely, but it followed up with a mad laugh, stabbing even harder. Countless wounds also appeared on Longjing Mister's body, dripping with blood.
"I personally entered the underworld to find you this heinous vengeful ghost to possess the blood fetus, devouring its mother and harming its father. Now that you've seen it, I wonder if you're satisfied?"
On the wooden boat, Zhang Family Third Master's smile was low, his expression indescribably cruel. He slowly raised an eyebrow and looked down, slowly saying, "She died when she gave birth to this monstrous fetus, her soul no longer exists, and she has no support in heaven and earth."
"And because of you, she cannot be buried in the Zhang family's ancestral grave. And because you refuse to formally marry her, even after death, she is lonely and helpless..."
"..."
Words were like arrows, piercing Longjing Mister's heart, filled with mockery, "You learned a few tricks of dream magic and thought you could rebel against heaven? Utterly delusional!"
"My Zhang family sits in ten terrestrial veins, seeking stability for this world. With my Zhang family here, this world cannot be in chaos. And my Zhang family's reputation is high, and it was raised up by the people of the world."
"Not to mention your mere dream magic, even if you really brought the entire City of Wrongful Deaths to the mortal realm, how could you shake my Zhang family even a bit?"
"..."
"..."
With his lofty words, Longjing Mister fell silent, seemingly truly suppressed and unable to move.
But how could Hu Ma watch this happen? Suddenly, he reached out to grab the monster, but the monster, which had been avoiding Hu Ma just now, was now completely indifferent, raising its face to meet Hu Ma's hand.
Hu Ma didn't dare to kill it, so he grabbed the iron nail from its hand and restrained it, trying to stop the monster from harming itself.
But the monster let out a ghostly laugh, chewing its tongue wildly, and its body also made a rattling sound as flesh and blood melted and devoured each other.
Hu Ma was angrier and more powerless than ever before. He slapped the monster on the head, trying to knock it unconscious, but the monster's head only shook, and it followed with a cackle. It was a possessing soul, its body and soul mismatched, and it wouldn't faint.
"Wonderful..."
At the same time, Meng Family First Master praised Zhang Family's masterpiece. Knowing that he had the opportunity, he waved his sleeve, and the surrounding Yin spirits and vengeful ghosts quietly groped towards the altar.
He had already determined that since the evil spirit on the altar had its neck chained by Zhang Family, then the remaining evil spirit was also within his grasp.
However, he also didn't notice that Zhang Family Third Master's face, which had been grimly grinning, gradually revealed a hint of surprise.
He also wanted to know the expression of the evil spirit on the altar after learning this secret, but now that this wish was fulfilled, another doubt arose...
...No, the evil spirit was in terrible pain, as if pierced by ten thousand arrows, but why hadn't it died even now?
...Even, it was just in pain, but hadn't gone any further?
"Remove this monster for me..."
Outside the altar, even Hu Ma was mentally unstable, thinking that the seven arrows could no longer be shot out when he heard Longjing Mister's low voice.
He was shocked and suddenly raised his head, seeing Longjing Mister already raising his head on the altar. His face was the color of death, but the wounds on his body had stopped bleeding, and even his actions seemed unaffected.
Slowly and firmly, he turned to face the scarecrow, raising his blood-soaked sleeves high.
"That's not right..."
The expression on Zhang Family Third Master's face had already stiffened slightly, and his brow furrowed tightly. "Why can't blood kin vengeance harm him?"
"You said these words, but just to destroy my mental state!"
Not only Zhang Family Third Master, but even Hu Ma and others were curious.
But amidst the surrounding silence, Longjing Mister's face was pale, and his sorrow was deeply hidden, but he wasn't as flustered as they thought. "But I knew of her respect and love for me long ago, so why would you need to remind me?"
"I didn't want to write her a marriage certificate, only because I knew my sins were too deep and didn't want to implicate her..."
"But since your Zhang family insists, then let's see, if I enter the Zhang family, and the resentments of the Yi all come together, how much can your noble Zhang family withstand?"
"..."
"Quick... quick, stop him!"
Zhang Family Third Master hadn't fully understood the original matter yet, but he already felt something was wrong, as if some important matter had deviated.
And at this moment, Longjing Mister faced the scarecrow and slowly bowed down, his voice extremely calm, "Your Zhang family only got one thing wrong. I am not Tie Guanyin. I am called Longjing, and I was the one who used dream magic to kill the seventeen thousand members of the Yi Dynasty's imperial family."
"Those who have blood ties with me are intolerable to heaven and earth, and cursed by the Du clan for generations..."
"I didn't want to marry her because I didn't want her to suffer this karma for me. But since she is no longer in this world, then let's see, how much higher is your Zhang family's reputation than the Du clan's imperial family..."
"..."
"..."
*Boom!*
As he spoke, he bowed to the end. In an instant, rolling resentment erupted from the City of Wrongful Deaths. In an instant, it was attached to this arrow, instantly blowing away the countless Yin spirits and soaring into the mortal realm.
"*Shua!*"
This arrow flew to the mortal realm and landed on a small mound of earth in a certain place that hadn't entered the ancestral grave, overgrown with weeds, and without even a stele.
A tile covered the mound, and at this moment, cracks appeared in the tile.
This was the arrow with the least movement compared to the first arrow, but because of this arrow, karma entangled, a marriage contract was set, and Longjing Mister no longer disguised himself as Tie Guanyin, hiding from the repeated sins of heaven and earth, but openly and honestly entered the noble Zhang family.
In the capital, in a certain extremely fierce place, hundreds of thousands of imperial family members, two hundred years of fierce and unwilling evil ghosts, suddenly stirred up earth-shattering resentment, surging and flowing, vast and mighty, with an outlet for venting.
Pointing directly at a certain deep mountain and old forest, a deeply hidden geomantic treasure land, that was the Zhang family's ancestors, the imperial mausoleum of the former dynasty.
