The Exorcism Talisman was affixed to Zhang Ying, and a beam of golden light shot out from it, instantly scattering the spirit of the female ghost, Zhang Ying.
Watching her dissipating soul, I shook my head helplessly. "After such a long time without using it, the power of the Spell has indeed become a bit rusty!"
I remembered the last time I had to act was seven years ago when I was fighting a White-haired Zombie over a magical artifact. I had been bitten by that Zombie, and in return, I managed to break one of its arms. My master punished me by sealing my internal magical power and sending me away from Spirit Ghost Street.
I truly did not want to return to Spirit Ghost Street, but glancing at Hu Yalong lying on the ground, I sighed. "If I want to restore the Yang Qi of that fat guy, I have no choice but to make a trip back to Spirit Ghost Street!"
The reason I was reluctant to go back was that the White-haired Zombie that had bitten me was still there. I held grudges easily, and I feared that if I encountered that guy again, I wouldn't be able to resist getting into another fight.
If that happened again, my master would seal my powers once more. It took me seven years to break one-third of the seals within me.
"Jiang Ling, you guys are here!" Li Hongze and Lan Yue came out with flashlights after the sudden blackout to look for me and Hu Yalong.
Seeing Hu Yalong lying on the ground, Lan Yue asked worriedly, "Jiang Ling, what happened to the fat guy?"
It was Lan Yue who had suggested Hu Yalong come to the Athletic Field for an adventure. Now seeing Hu Yalong's condition, she couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.
I patted Lan Yue on the shoulder. "Lan Yue, don't worry. The fat guy just got scared and fainted. If you carry him back, he’ll be fine after a good sleep."
"You all take him back first; I'll go home and get some medicine for his shock." My dad owned a pharmacy near the school. Whenever any of us fell ill, we would go there for medicine.
However, this time there were no medicines in my dad's pharmacy that could cure Hu Yalong; I needed to go to Spirit Ghost Street.
"Jiang Ling, be careful! Don't get caught while climbing over the wall! We'll head back first!" Li Hongze said as he and Lan Yue lifted Hu Yalong and headed toward the dormitory entrance.
I watched as Li Hongze and the others entered the dormitory before making my way into the Athletic Field, preparing for my trip to Spirit Ghost Street.
Spirit Ghost Street does not exist in the same space as our everyday lives; it lies in the gap between the Yang Realm and the Underworld. Therefore, anyone with sufficient magical power can break through the spatial restrictions and enter Spirit Ghost Street from anywhere.
I was quite confident in my own magical abilities. I walked to the far end of the Athletic Field, saw that no one was around, and prepared to act.
Kneeling on one knee, I bit my right index finger and drew a talisman on the ground. This talisman was merely a precursor; the most important part was what I was about to do next.
I placed my left hand on the talisman and formed a Hand Seal with my right hand over my chest. I shouted, “Yin-Yang Interstice, Heaven and Earth Seek the Ground. Spirit Ghost Street, open!”
As soon as my voice fell, a red light flashed across the talisman on the ground. Then, a powerful suction force emanated from beneath my left hand, pulling uncontrollably at my magical energy and drawing it into the talisman.
After about a minute, the talisman finally stopped absorbing my magic, and I stood up from the ground.
At that moment, I found myself in an unfamiliar environment that felt very eerie, with thick Eerie Energy surrounding me. In front of me stood a dilapidated iron gate, with an ancient wooden board hanging on it. The board bore four large characters: Spirit Ghost Street!
I pushed open the gate to Spirit Ghost Street and stepped inside.
There were only eight shops in Spirit Ghost Street. I had been here for over ten years, and aside from my master, I had never seen the owners of the other seven shops in person.
However, this did not hinder my business in Spirit Ghost Street. I only needed to find the ghost doctor’s shop among those eight to purchase the elixir that would cure Hu Yalong.
As soon as I entered Spirit Ghost Street, I spotted an elderly man in his seventies standing by the roadside. This man was named Cheng Zhong, the steward of my master's shop.
Cheng Zhong smiled at me and said, “Shopkeeper, you’re back!”
I nodded and replied, “Cheng Bo, what are you doing here?”
Cheng Zhong leisurely took out a porcelain bottle and a letter from his pocket. “Shopkeeper, the master predicted you would come here today. He asked me to give you these two items and advised you not to enter Spirit Ghost Street.”
I was well aware of my master's abilities; he could predict that I would come here, and I wasn't surprised at all.
I took the item from Cheng Zhong's hands and said, "Cheng Bo, I'm leaving. You should head back too!"
I didn't know why my master wouldn't let me enter, but I knew he wouldn't harm me, so I didn't ask any further.
I walked out of the gates of Spirit Ghost Street and returned to the school's Athletic Field.
Looking around, I noticed that the school's streetlights were on again, indicating that the power had been restored. I put the item in my pocket, ready to head back to my dormitory for some sleep.
"Brat, it's lights out! Why aren't you back in your dorm? Planning to sneak out and stay up all night on the internet?" I saw a patrolling teacher not far to my left. He held a flashlight in his left hand and a baton in his right as he jogged toward me.
Seeing his demeanor, I knew if I got caught, I'd definitely hear it from my parents.
"Teacher, please patrol elsewhere! I'll be back in the dorm right away!" I shouted and immediately took off running. I was as fast as the wind, and the patrolling teacher couldn't catch up with me at all.
After chasing me for a while, the teacher was panting heavily and shouted, "Brat, stop right there!"
When I returned to the dormitory, Li Hongze and the others were already asleep.
I turned on the desk lamp, poured out the elixir from the porcelain bottle, and fed it to Hu Yalong.
Seeing Hu Yalong finish the elixir with a rosy complexion made me finally feel at ease.
I lay on my bed, placed the lamp on the bedside table, and took out a letter.
This letter was written by my master. In it, he informed me of two things. First, he instructed me to return to Spirit Ghost Street on July 15 of this year according to the Lunar Calendar, which is during the Ghost Festival. He had important matters to discuss with me. The second thing was that a Ghost Messenger would come looking for me soon; my master advised me to protect that Ghost Messenger discreetly.
I finished reading the contents of the letter, and for the sake of confidentiality, I burned it in the bathroom with a torch.
"Ah, let me protect Ghost Messenger, this job is not easy!" I sighed, turned off the bedside lamp, and began to sleep.
There is a Girls' High School near our school, and it is rumored that the girls there are particularly beautiful.
Qu Liang is a senior at this Girls' High School and is recognized as one of the three school beauties. Although Qu Liang is good-looking, not many dare to pursue her because of her fiery personality and extreme violence.
Previously, a boy from our school tried to pursue Qu Liang, but he ended up being beaten so badly that he couldn't take care of himself. Since then, no one has dared to pursue Qu Liang, and she earned the nickname Amazoness.
That night, Qu Liang was holding her phone, shouting into it, "Old man, stop joking! I still need someone to protect me!"
"Tell me what that person's name is! I'll go beat him up myself!"
"His name is Jiang Ling, right? Fine, I'll go find him tomorrow!"
Qu Liang hung up the phone and said fiercely, "I will beat you up, Jiang Ling!"
At that moment, I suddenly sneezed. I wiped my nose and turned back to sleep.
