Chapter 116: 91, 92. Peace in the North, fox spirits laugh at night (Great Chapter - Subscribe please)_2

This also made everyone at Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple who wanted to advance wish to join the Herb Gathering Hall.

Just like the previous "Thousand Treasures Pavilion second floor clerk Hua Wen", who originally belonged to the Medicine Division, but after recommending Song Cheng and establishing his achievements, was transferred to Harvest Hall; hence, Song Cheng later saw Hua Wen collecting Ghost Servant corpses and saw Hua Wen wave to him friendly and happily.

Among the three hallmasters, the only one who was relatively free was actually the Medicinal Human Hall’s hallmaster.

This hallmaster’s name was Chen Ji.

She was a plump woman who liked to wear red-bottomed, white floral jackets.

This plump woman was also a Soul Refiner, followed by two "Form Realm" Medicinal Humans.

Outside, the Medicinal Human Hall’s hallmaster usually had a fierce and cold demeanor, making her seem unfriendly, but strangely... she was very enthusiastic and friendly toward Tong Jia, without a hint of jealousy toward this "almost heaven-sent" acting Taoist Temple Master. Her attitude was almost consistent with that of Lady Zhushan.

And when Song Cheng personally saw Chen Ji and found that her favorability toward him also reached a high 90, he knew... this attitude wasn’t feigned.

The three of them walked through the chilling prison corridors and, after a short while, arrived at the special cells holding Ghost Servants.

Within, the cell walls were reinforced, and the shackles were specially made from extraordinary iron.

"Sister Chen, my husband and I will stay for a while," Madam Tong said.

"Yes, Taoist Temple Master," Chen Ji responded respectfully, then led the two Medicinal Humans away.

Suddenly, the couple looked at the cage in front of them and through the thick iron bars at the Ghost Servant inside.

Song Cheng said, "Taoist Temple Master Tong, you haven’t been home for two nights now."

Madam Tong sighed softly and said, "I’ll return tonight."

Song Cheng raised his hand, pointing toward the distant Ghost Servants.

"Two ordinary Ghost Servants, two Force Realm Ghost Servants, no Form Realm.

Ghost servants are quite special, once they become one, they are at least of the Power Realm.

Thus, ordinary Ghost Servants are Power Realm Ghost Servants."

Madam Tong said, "Lady Zhushan actually studied this a while ago.

You can’t tell Ghost Servants apart just by their appearance.

Even their bodies are warm.

Unless you cut them open, that’s when you’ll find the supernatural elements hidden inside, human skin, grave dirt, wax... and so on.

They inherit the memories and characteristics of the living.

Even some intelligence...

Though somewhat rigid, not as intelligent as before, but still quite terrifying.

As for the transformation...

I’m not clear on that."

Song Cheng clapped his hands.

Before long, a death row inmate dressed in a prison uniform was brought over.

His mouth was stuffed with cotton cloth, and he struggled vigorously, his eyes flashing with fear.

Tong Jia showed a trace of pity.

Song Cheng said, "This man used to be the village head in a village. A young girl was violated at night and went to him to seek justice. The village head incited the villagers, saying if the young girl had not been so lax, dressed so nicely, then how could she have been violated?

Yet, there were still quite a number of people in the village who supported the girl.

With no other choice, the village head could only promise to investigate the culprit.

The matter went unresolved, and soon after, a famine came.

The young girl’s family had nothing to eat, and after going hungry for several days with her mother, they went to seek the village head, who only said it would take a few more days before it was their turn.

At that time, someone else came with fat meat.

Seeing her mother about to starve to death, the girl traded her body for the meat.

Afterward... the girl’s reputation was completely ruined; wherever she went, she was pointed at and talked about. People cursed her with the most vicious words in the world, especially harsh to hear.

The girl’s mother could not bear the disgrace and hanged herself, and the girl also committed suicide.

And the perpetrator of the girl’s violation... was this village head’s son.

The one controlling the distribution of the relief food was precisely this village head.

Of course, this was not enough to expose and get him arrested.

It was mainly his other wicked deeds that got him caught by a disciple patrolling from the Shanhe Martial Arts Hall, and only after the investigation did they discover all of these issues.

Eastern Master, do you still think he’s pitiable?"

Song Cheng grabbed the death row inmate, opened the cage door, and shoved him inside, then clapped his hands.

From inside the cell came the sound of "sss-sss" as the iron chains stretched.

The four Ghost Servants, tightly shackled to the wall, suddenly were able to move a greater distance.

But the four Ghost Servants didn’t move.

Song Cheng, holding Tong Jia’s hand, turned to leave and hid in a secluded spot, secretly observing.

After a long time, the four Ghost Servants suddenly moved, one after another pounced on the village head, who was now so scared he had wet himself.

The village head was quickly dismembered, then Song Cheng saw one of the Ghost Servants vomit foul-smelling mud from its mouth, and then this mud was slapped onto the dismembered corpse one palm at a time.

Suddenly, the dismembered body as if possessed with magnetism, "snap snap snap" came back together, and the wounds also healed up completely.

Then this unshackled Ghost Servant village head pounced on the locked-up Ghost Servants, attempting to use his acquired monstrous strength to break the chains.

In Song Cheng’s view,

The Ghost Servant that spat out foul-smelling mud initially had a strength of "25~25," but after spending the mud to transform the village head into a Ghost Servant, its strength became "10~10."

Ghost Servants, when transforming others into Ghost Servants, would weaken themselves, regressing a level.

And the reason the Ghost Servants were doing this was that they were all shackled with specially-made shackles.

But the village head was not.

If the village head turned into a Ghost Servant, he might be able to tear open the shackles, break the iron cage, and set them free.

So he stepped forward, easily subdued the Ghost Servant village head, then put shackles on this new Ghost Servant and locked him away in a new cell.

Then he clapped his hands again, brought in the second death-row inmate, and threw him into the cell with the new Ghost Servant.
