Chapter 15 The Mirror of Evil

At this time, I lowered my head and cursed secretly.

"Damn it, it turns out that guy Liu Dashuang was fooled."

The green-robed female ghost smiled and shook her head.

"He didn't fool you. It's true that no ordinary ghost would dare to enter this place, but I am an exception."

As she said that, she pointed at a statue on the left side of the Xiang Hall. When I looked at it carefully, I was stunned.

Because that statue actually looks exactly like her!

I couldn't believe it for a moment, and then I quickly looked at the other statues.

Only then did I realize that the entire Ksitigarbha Temple incense hall was dedicated to non-righteous gods. The Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was lined up on both sides, and they were all images of underworld beings.

For example, there are ghost emperors in the five directions, Yama in the ten palaces, judges of yin and yang, black and white and impermanence with bull heads and horse faces, etc.

There are a lot of them that I don't recognize at all, and the image of the female ghost in green is among them.

But although I don't know her, since her image is enshrined in the incense hall and receives incense, it shows that she is at least a sinister person.

Thinking of this, I quickly raised my hands and bowed to her several times.

"Don't be surprised, Fairy Girl, it's because I can't see Mount Tai!"

She smiled and said: "I was just joking with you before. I definitely can't be called an 'immortal', but you must at least know that I am not the wandering ghost you imagined."

I nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, I am blind, I don't know what kind of errand the Fairy Girl is doing below?"

"You also knew before that my name is Niejing Lanling, so I am in charge of the Niejing Platform and Niejing Hell in the lower realm. They usually call me Lord Niejing."

As she spoke, she walked to one of the incense burners, grabbed some incense ash and sprinkled it on top of the four chicken hearts in the porcelain bowl.

Then she grabbed my sleeve and led me out of the way, and I was back at the altar on the hillside in an instant.

"Don't you want to know the reason why I asked you to get these chicken hearts? I'll tell you now."

As she spoke, she pointed to a cracked spiritual altar next to her.

"There is a fierce ghost sealed inside, called the skin-removing woman. Before she was sealed in the spiritual altar, she liked to remove human skins and eat people's hearts and livers, causing harm to everyone.

Although she was subdued by the people of Jizo Temple, her violent temper remained unabated after entering the spiritual altar.

She hasn't eaten fresh flesh and blood for a long time, and recently she has a tendency to break through the spiritual altar and flee.

I asked you to send fresh livestock hearts just to appease this skin-picking woman.

Originally, this should be the responsibility of the spiritual cultivators at Jizang Temple, but for some unknown reason, they have been busy all day long, but no one is taking care of the spiritual altar.

As for me, since I have entered the spiritual altar, I am also receiving incense in the incense hall.

There is an old saying that eats people with a soft mouth and takes advantage of others with short hands, so I had no choice but to meddle in this nosy matter."

At this time, I thought to myself that the Liu family had not fulfilled their responsibility in managing the spiritual altar because they had too many things going on at home recently.

The head of the Liu family's talker had just left, and Liu Ruxuan's father died together with the Red Lotus Fire Ghost. Now they are worrying about competing for the new talker.

I continued: "Xiangu, although I don't know much about these people and ghosts, but you say that the skin-picking woman is bloodthirsty and likes to eat human hearts, so how can you still follow her?

If you feed her well, wouldn't it be easier for her to escape?"

The evil mirror girl shook her head.

"I'm not just feeding her, I'm guiding her.

First of all, what I feed her is not the human heart, so I won’t encourage her anger.

In addition, as you just saw, I mixed the incense ashes from the incense hall into the heart of this chicken.

The ashes of incense are burned by devout people. They are of great virtue and can dispel the hostility of the skin-picking woman.

So with these ninety-nine and eighty-one hearts in mind, it will be impossible for her to escape from the spiritual altar."

I nodded.

"I see, that's why the fairy asked me to give my heart."

At this time, she continued: "But as far as I know, there is another reason why this skin-sucking woman suddenly became so irritable.

It is said that her sister Honglian Fire Ghost was severely injured by Liu Mingyang of the Liu family after escaping from the Ksitigarbha Temple, and then was killed by a yellow-haired boy by accident. She wanted to break through the spiritual altar to give that

The red lotus fire ghost takes revenge."

I was shocked when I heard her say this.

"What, the skin-picking woman is the sister of the Red Lotus Fire Ghost!"

"Yes, you also know about the red lotus fire ghost?"

After that, I told the truth, saying that I was the yellow-haired boy who killed the Red Lotus Fire Ghost, and that I was the enemy that the skin-picking woman wanted to find.

Nie Jingnu laughed loudly after hearing this.

"Hahaha, then you guys are really enemies on a narrow road.

But you can rest assured, it’s impossible for this skinny woman to escape with me here.”

I lowered my head helplessly and glanced at the black gas coming out of the cracks in the altar.

"Why, you can't trust me?"

I shook my head and said: "Xiangu, it's not that I can't trust you, it's just... if you were so powerful, how could you let the Red Lotus Fire Ghost escape before?

And I heard that the Xie family was responsible for this, so why didn’t you stop it at the time?"

Nie Jingnu sighed and said: "In the end, you still can't trust me.

I could have prevented what happened to the Red Lotus Fire Ghost before, but it happened that I went out for something in those few days, and only when I came back did I know that the old man who talked about it had died at the hands of the Fire Ghost.

I have heard about the Xie family you mentioned, and if I find evidence that they deliberately released the Red Lotus Fire Ghost, I will not let them off lightly."

At this time I nodded.

"In this case, I will choose to believe what you said. Although the fairy did not really take away my heart, I will still give the eighty-one livestock hearts as promised."

The evil mirror girl smiled.

"So good."
