"I am a ghost!" the headless ghost said ominously.
"Then what are you doing here?" Lin Qing asked.
"What we do here is none of your business, get lost! Don't ruin our good time," the headless ghost said viciously.
"Tch, fine, I won't say then." Lin Qing then left.
Of course, Lin Qing didn't really leave. He just went a mile away and then released his spiritual power to see what the ghosts were up to. He had never eaten a ghost before!
The headless ghost, named Zhu Yi, was originally a notorious bandit who had killed countless people and committed all sorts of evil deeds, including rape, kidnapping, and plunder.
Finally, he was arrested by the authorities through a scheme, and soon after, he was beheaded and his head was displayed to the public.
However, Zhu Yi, who died, actually became a ghost. Because he was vicious in life, he became an evil spirit after death.
Knowing he had become a ghost, Zhu Yi's first thought was to take revenge, and that very night he went to the executioner's house.
However, the executioner's murderous aura prevented him from getting close to his home.
They intended to wipe out the executioner's entire family, but they couldn't even get close to them.
He then went around harming people in the vicinity to strengthen his magic, but unexpectedly, he killed too many people.
This alarmed a master, and the fight ended in mutual destruction. Afterwards, Zhu Yi disappeared without a trace.
After decades of recuperating from his injuries, he finally returned here, ready to seek revenge.
Little did they know that the executioner was already dead, leaving only his son, daughter-in-law, and granddaughter.
Not satisfied with the executioner's death, Zhu Yi decided to kill the entire family.
Who knew that before the Taoist priest died, he set up a ghost-sealing stele at the entrance of the town.
No matter what he did, he couldn't get in. In the end, he learned that his granddaughter was getting married.
They arrived at the road that was always on the way to visit relatives, and planned to kill the granddaughter first, and then the others would surely come out as well.
When that time comes, it will be time to settle old scores and grievances.
As for the two ghosts behind him, they were just there to make up the numbers; once the job was done, they would be eaten by him anyway.
Zhu Yi had calculated the time carefully. Because the journey was quite long, he arrived here just as it was getting dark, so he waited there.
Who would have thought that such a giant python would crawl out halfway through the journey? But he wasn't scared; being scared wasn't his style.
Lin Qing had no idea what Zhu Yi, the headless ghost, was thinking; he only knew that someone had arrived.
In the distance, a large procession was seen beating drums and gongs, carrying a red sedan chair, followed by several carts laden with dowry.
When the group reached the area where the headless ghost was, Lin Qing noticed that they were just going around in circles.
"Looks like those ghosts are after them!" Lin Qing prepared to make his move.
Now that we know the purpose, we can't just watch the vengeful ghost harm people. It would be nice to taste the ghost's flavor as well.
"Uncle Zhou, something seems amiss!" a servant said as he approached the steward.
“Something’s not right. We’ve been walking around this cemetery for ages and still can’t get out.” Zhou Shu glanced at the cemetery.
"Hey! Did you hear that sound?" Uncle Zhou suddenly asked.
"It sounds like there's some kind of noise."
"It's a snake! It sounds like a snake."
"Ah! A snake, a huge snake!" A servant looked up and immediately fainted from fright.
Lin Qing said, "This isn't my fault, you fainted on your own!"
"Ah! A monster! There's a monster!"
"Help!"
"Ah! Ahhhhhh!"
Immediately, everyone looked up and saw Lin Qing's terrifying snake head. Uncle Zhou took off running, followed by more than a dozen people.
Because of Lin Qing's appearance, Zhu Yi's illusion was broken, and almost everyone ran away.
All that was left was the bride inside the sedan chair and the six people who had fainted. The bride had also fainted in the sedan chair after secretly glancing at Lin Qing.
"You monster, why did you come to ruin my plans?" Zhu Yi appeared and shouted angrily!
"What I do is none of your business," Lin Qing said bluntly.
"By the way, I've never eaten a ghost before. Do you want me to try it and see what it tastes like?" Lin Qing said, staring at Zhu Yi.
"Hmph! You want to eat me? You beast, you don't deserve it!" Zhu Yi roared.
"Hehe!" Lin Qing chuckled twice.
"You damned beast, you're dead! I'll kill you and eat your snake gall!"
After saying that, Zhu Yi turned around and took off, decisively making his escape.
He wasn't stupid; how could a ghost possibly be a match for a monster? So he left with a harsh threat and ran away decisively.
Seeing this, Lin Qing immediately compressed his chest cavity and then began to suck in air towards Zhu Yi.
Suddenly, a strong wind arose, and the hanged ghost and water ghost that were still in place were directly flown into Lin Qing's stomach.
"Ding! You have gained 150 evolution points by consuming a ghost."
"Ding! You have gained 150 evolution points by consuming a ghost."
"Mental strength enhanced."
"Sure enough, even ghosts can be eaten, and it can even increase mental strength." Lin Qing continued to inhale deeply.
At this moment, two unconscious people were in the direction of the vengeful ghost Zhu Yi, and they were also drawn directly into Lin Qing's mouth by Lin Qing's suction force.
Just then, the bride in the sedan chair woke up and subconsciously looked up at Lin Qing above her.
Two people flew towards Lin Qing's mouth, then fainted from fright.
Zhu Yi, who was flying in the air, was immediately pulled by this suction force to a distance not far from Lin Qing.
Suddenly, Lin Qing shut her mouth, and the two people who fainted fell to the ground.
He was probably in too much pain from falling to the ground, and was immediately awakened by the pain, and then he saw Lin Qing in front of him.
Surprisingly, they weren't scared out of their wits; they took off running back home.
Just after the two ran away, Zhu Yi was almost out of Lin Qing's sight.
Immediately, it scrambled towards Zhu Yi.
Zhu Yi simply drove straight through the trees he encountered, while Lin Qing charged recklessly, destroying the trees in the process.
Before long, it caught up with Zhu Yi and bit him before Zhu Yi could even beg for mercy.
"Ding! You have gained 300 evolution points by devouring the vengeful ghost."
"Mental strength enhanced."
After finishing his meal, Lin Qing suddenly thought of taking a trip to the underworld, since there were so many ghosts there that he could eat them all.
Also, if Lin Qing remembers correctly, there is a movie called Zombie Supreme, which features ghost messengers and a large group of ghosts.
Oh right, there's also a mountain of zombies and a coffin fungus. That should be enough, but I wonder how long it will take to reach that part of the story.

A dozen or so people were following behind Uncle Zhou, all of them still running for their lives.
Suddenly seeing a light ahead, he immediately ran towards it.
Upon arriving at Master Simu's house, Uncle Zhou immediately began banging on the door:
"Help! Help! There's a monster!"
"A monster is eating people! Help!"
"Clap clap clap clap clap!"
"Help!"
The group pounded on the door, shouting for help.
The Taoist priest and Jiale, who were inside the house, were startled and immediately went to the door and opened it.
Master Ikkyu and Qingqing came together after hearing the news.
"What's going on?! What kind of monster is eating people?" said Master Four Eyes.
"Amitabha Buddha, may I ask what has happened to you all?" Master Ikkyu bowed and asked.
"Master! There's a monster! A huge snake!"
"Yeah, yeah! His whole head is bigger and taller than this house."
"A snake?" said the Four-Eyed Taoist.
"Yes, yes, yes! It's a snake, a snake demon, that ate people."
“We just saw this snake demon before, but it doesn’t eat people, does it?” Master Ikkyu said in confusion.
“Yeah! They just ate a zombie here and then left,” Master Four Eyes chimed in.
"But that snake demon is too terrifying."
"Did you witness the snake demon eating people with your own eyes?" Master Four Eyes asked.
"No, we were just focused on running."
"Oh no, the bride is still inside the sedan chair!" Uncle Zhou exclaimed, slapping his forehead.
"In that case, let's hurry over and take a look!" Master Ikkyu said.
"You guys go ahead, we'll wait for you here," Uncle Zhou said softly.
"Hmph! Cowards, then show us the way!" said Master Four Eyes.
Half an hour later, Master Simu, Jiale, Master Yixiu, and Qingqing arrived at the scene of the incident.
