Chapter One Hundred Ninety-Three Gu Zixu
"Don't get agitated, just stop the Elevator first," I hurriedly said.
However, the female ghost Bingqing showed no signs of hesitation and lunged at me. At that moment, the Elevator had already turned into an ice cellar, with a large amount of frost covering almost the entire Elevator.
I didn't have time to think; I took off the frying pan from my back and swung it directly at the female ghost's face.
There was no sound of collision. When my frying pan hit Bingqing's face, her entire head was knocked off, but her body still lunged onto me.
The Paper Effigy Maker's Paper Control Technique mainly refers to controlling from behind using Paper Figurines as weapons to shield oneself from harm!
I learned the Paper Control Technique a long time ago, and the biggest taboo is allowing spiritual entities to get too close.
However, at this moment, the headless Bingqing grabbed my neck with both hands and pushed me onto Murong Duoduo. In a panic, Murong Duoduo screamed and was then pinned against the wall of the Elevator by me.
Can a female ghost hold someone down?
This is unscientific! Because ghosts and humans cannot directly contact each other.
But Bingqing, like Burning Soul, can use their advantages to achieve contact with physical beings.
For example, Bingqing can use the ice she conjures as a medium. When her hands reach for my neck, the injured yin energy accumulates around my neck. As it gets closer, the ice thickens, allowing her to make contact with me.
On the other hand, Burning Soul uses the Ghost Fire from her own body. Although Ghost Fire is yin in nature, it is still fire. She can control it to gradually raise the temperature of nearby objects, thereby igniting physical items.
This is different from the Ghost Fire in the shopping street; that Ghost Fire was only the size of a basin, while the Burning Soul is covered all over with Ghost Fire, and you can imagine the temperature.
It can be said without exaggeration that if the Burning Soul is the most powerful fire controller among the Yin spirits, then the Ice Spirit is the ghost that excels at using Yin energy.
At this moment, I felt a bit of difficulty in breathing because I could clearly sense a thick layer of ice forming around my neck, almost freezing my blood vessels.
If it were the old me, I would undoubtedly be dead by now; however, I did not spend those seven days with Master Ma in vain.
At this point, I had already moved beyond the beginner stage of sealing ghosts with my own blood. I simply reached into my Bloodstained Bag and took out two talismans, shouting in a hoarse voice, “Urgent Order, activate!”
What I took out was a Fire Control Talisman. At my command, the talisman ignited simultaneously, and I quickly pressed the burning paper against Bingqing's body. Just then, the head of Ground suddenly rolled over and lunged at my arm.
You should know that although the Yin energy on Ice Spirit is heavy, its main release point is still through its mouth. The protruding Yin energy from her mouth is truly terrifying; even if you dodge it, you will still be infected by the Yin energy and will definitely fall ill.
I estimated that the people who used to work in the International Trade Building must have gotten sick because they took this elevator and were infected by Yin energy. For ordinary people, even men, their Yang energy compared to Bingqing is insignificant.
I am different; I have been to the Underworld and visited Hell City. I am already immune to ordinary Yin energy. However, when Bingqing lunged at me with her mouth open, I did not dare to be careless at all. I quickly swung my frying pan at her head.
Bingqing was caught off guard; she probably didn't expect that I could still react physically while she had me choked. So, without paying attention, my frying pan hit her head directly, sending it flying against the ice on the wall with a crisp sound. Her head bounced back again and hit the other side of the elevator, making it seem like a ball being hit back and forth inside.
At that moment, the elevator button finally stopped at the first-floor position.
Meanwhile, my left hand had already pressed the Fire Control Talisman onto Bingqing. The headless body of Bingqing hurriedly retreated several steps.
By this time, my neck had already been frozen stiff; not only could I not breathe, but it also felt as if it would shatter if squeezed. Therefore, I dared not move my neck too much. After crouching down behind Ground, I put down the frying pan and took out a small Paper Figurine from my Bloodstained Bag.
The so-called small Paper Figurine refers to a human figure cut out of paper, without facial features.
The small Paper Figurine is only the size of a palm. My right hand pressed against the elevator floor, and my mouth could no longer make a sound, but my movements were not satisfied. After pressing on the floor, my right hand rotated three times to the left and three times to the right on the Ground, then I raised my index finger and pressed it against the floor, before suddenly lifting my right hand.
A head gradually emerged from the Ground as I lifted my finger, and when my hand reached a certain height, a complete ghost appeared from the Ground.
Then, I threw the Paper Figurine into the air with my left hand, while my right hand took out a Soul Controlling Talisman covered with a Ghost Seal and stuck it onto the ghost's body. I then directly pushed the ghost into the small Paper Figurine's body, bit my left index finger, and accurately tapped twice on the head of the flying small Paper Figurine.
The entire process was almost seamless and fluid.
Here, I must thank Heibai Wuchang; they taught me many fighting techniques that made my movements much faster than before. At the same time, I also have to thank my master for teaching me paper manipulation techniques, and I must thank Old Pan; without his teachings in arithmetic, I would not have been able to calculate the speed of the Paper Figurine's flight and my own movement speed, making it impossible to complete such a series of actions.
Of course, being able to create a paper spirit in such a short time is also thanks to the Ghost Seal.
The small Paper Figurine, with its eyes tapped, flew down to the Ground and landed on its feet. Although it was only palm-sized, it rushed towards Bingqing's body that had crashed into the elevator wall with its little arms and legs.
I quickly formed seals with both hands; then with one hand controlled the Paper Figurine to attack Bingqing's body while picking up a frying pan with the other hand to strike at the head that was biting towards me.
At that moment, the elevator dinged open, and the originally flickering lights instantly went out.
"Go!" I shouted loudly at Murong Duoduo behind me. Given the urgent situation and my throat already frozen, after shouting once, I could clearly feel my throat tearing.
Murong Duoduo said with difficulty, "Could you please move aside!"
It was then that I realized she had been pressed behind me all along; if it weren't for her fear, she would have probably started punching and kicking me long ago.
"Get away from me!" At that moment, Bingqing's head suddenly spoke, but the elevator doors slowly began to close.
This was contradictory because Bingqing repeatedly emphasized keeping her distance, yet it seemed she wanted to trap us in the elevator.
I could be very certain of one thing: Bingqing and Chen Xiong's group of little ghosts were not on the same side. She was guarding the elevator, likely at Chen Xiong's arrangement. The number of Yin spirits depended mainly on the amount of Yin energy present; other ghosts couldn't be friends with Bingqing because she would absorb the Yin energy from them.
When we reached the twenty-sixth floor, I didn't dare to act because I was outnumbered. However, facing just one Bingqing, especially one without friends, I felt no fear.
The only problem was that she could control the elevator, which was quite troublesome.
I manipulated the small Paper Figurine to pin Bingqing's body to the ground. Although the Paper Figurine was small, it had great strength. Moreover, since it was a Yin object, fighting with it was much easier without needing any magical tools.
"Ah!" At that moment, Murong Duoduo let out a sharp scream.
I wanted to ask what had happened, but my throat hurt too much. Turning my head to look, I finally understood why Murong Duoduo screamed.
Just as the elevator doors were about to close, Murong Duoduo actually had time to rush out; however, a shadow suddenly appeared at the elevator entrance, blocking her way.
Could there be a ghost on the first floor?
Chen Xiong was a military leader of his generation; it was normal for him to arrange a few security guards on the first floor. But his people should all be on the twenty-sixth floor right now—how could there be a ghost on the first floor?
It's important to know that Chen Xiong currently aimed to recruit some lonely souls and wild ghosts; he wasn't interested in living people yet. At most, he would just scare them and seal off their escape routes, which seemed contradictory.
Next, the 'person' standing at the elevator entrance clarified things for me. With hands on his hips, he loudly addressed the elevator: "Gu Zixu has arrived!"
In this world, there are many surnames, but there are not many with the surname Gu. For example, there is a celebrity named Gu Juji. However, among the common people, those with the surname Gu have another path and are referred to as the Kumu Family.
The Kumu Family, like the Yin-Yang Master, passes down their skills to their descendants. The difference is that they pass it down to males only, not females. Members of the Kumu Family all share the surname Gu. If the first child is a daughter, the second child is a daughter, and the third is still a daughter, they will continue to have children until a son is born. This has led to the Kumu Family being considered quite prosperous. When there are many sons in one generation, they will select one to inherit the unique Yin-Yang Technique of the Gu family—the Luban Technique!
Some may ask, shouldn't a disciple of Luban have the surname Lu?
Luban was born a carpenter and became proficient in Feng Shui, thus creating the Luban Technique. The Luban Technique can save lives as well as harm them. Luban took on two disciples: one was his own child, and the other was an ancestor of the Kumu Family.
After Luban's death, he wrote a book called Lacking One Gate. Luban's son spent his life trying to study Lacking One Gate and fill in its gaps but could never complete it. Before he died, he shared his research findings with the Kumu Family, intending for the Luban Technique to flourish.
However, after receiving the true teachings, the ancestor of the Kumu Family did not change his name or surname but instead continued using Gu and established the Kumu Family.
The Kumu Family has passed down their lineage for generations but remains populous. Even in this era of strict family planning policies, the Gu family has never given up on their goal of having children. They arrange marriages for their sons when they turn eight years old, and not just one marriage but multiple arrangements so that their sons can choose their wives later.
Now that monogamy is enforced, members of the Gu family do not dare to break the law regarding marriage; however, having children is different. They secretly hide their daughters-in-law after they become pregnant to avoid detection by family planning officials until after the child is born. Only then do they go to register the birth with local authorities and pay any necessary fees because they simply want to have more children.
Almost every descendant of the Kumu Family has at least three children, with some having over ten.
As a result, outsiders have given the Kumu Family another nickname—the breeding family!
Their family values sons over daughters; daughters can marry anywhere without concern, but bride price must be paid and cannot be lessened because it is needed to support raising children.
At this moment, standing outside the elevator door is Gu Zixu. I am unsure if he is what I understand about the Kumu Family, but I can confirm that he is definitely a living person.
