　　“Sister, you deliberately showed up and said these words to me. Do you have a favor to ask of me？”
　　Xu Taiping also guessed the female ghost’s thoughts.
　　“Young man guessed correctly. This little girl showed up this time precisely because there is something to ask of you.”
　　The female ghost nodded repeatedly.
　　“This little girl has a younger sister named Liu Zijin. Three years ago, she went up the mountain with me. However, she has outstanding talent and was directly accepted as a disciple by the Fifth Peak. Originally, the two of us had already agreed that after passing the selection of the Fifth Peak next year, I would be able to cultivate with her on the Fifth Peak.”
　　“And just at this time last year, a disciple of the Fifth Peak suddenly came to my residence. He said that he was my little sister’s third senior brother. When he went down the mountain, he dropped by to deliver a letter for Zijin and also check if I was okay.”
　　“Upon hearing that he was Zijin’s senior brother, I naturally didn’t dare to neglect him and entertained him with good wine and food for a long time.”
　　“But after three rounds of drinking, that scoundrel actually went crazy and defiled my innocence like a beast. After that, he even threatened me not to tell anyone about this matter and wanted to imprison me as his concubine to serve his pleasure at any time.”
　　“I originally wanted to commit suicide, but he threatened me with my younger sister Zijin. If I didn’t obey him, he would frame Zijin and have her expelled from the Fifth Peak.”
　　“Under such circumstances, I could only submit to him, hoping to wait until Zijin had a firm foothold in the Fifth Peak and then find a way to tell her everything.”
　　“But just a few months ago, when that scoundrel was drunk, I accidentally overheard that he actually planned to use me to blackmail my younger sister Zijin and make her also become his plaything.”
　　“If it were only me being humiliated, I could endure it no matter what. But since he actually had plans for Zijin, I naturally wouldn’t let him succeed even if I had to fight to the death.”
　　“So when he was drunk, I took out the weapon that I had hidden in the house for a long time and prepared to end the life of that shameless bastard.”
　　“But in the end, I underestimated the cultivation level of the disciples on the mountain. Just as I showed a little bit of killing intent, he caught me instead.”
　　“That shameless wretch flew into a rage out of humiliation. After humiliating me, he killed me and threw my body into the deep mountains near the residence. It didn’t take long for me to be captured by that changgui and become a ghost slave.”
　　After listening to the female ghost’s long account, Xu Taiping’s heart was filled with indignation and could hardly be calmed.
　　He never expected that on this fairy mountain, there would actually be such a wicked person and such evil deeds. Compared with the fifth disciple of the Five Peaks, that changgui could even be considered a kind person.
　　Of course, the prerequisite is that everything this female ghost said is true.
　　“How can I prove that what you said is true？”
　　After calming down, Xu Taiping asked the female ghost.
　　“In order to expose this shameless wretch, I used the only Xunchenxiang I had on me.”
　　As the female ghost spoke, she pointed at the sleeve of the corpse below from a distance, and then continued：
　　“This Xunchenxiang has one mother and three sons, a total of four plants. By lighting the mother incense, all the events that occurred in the house before this stick of incense burns out can be recorded as a shadow in it.”
　　“When you want to watch, just light the son incense, and all the past events will be revealed.”
　　After hearing this, Xu Taiping nodded secretly.
　　He had also seen this treasure in the bronze mirror before.
　　“So sister, you want me to give the remaining several sticks of son incense to your younger sister Zijin？”
　　Before Liu Qingmei could speak, Xu Taiping asked first.
　　“Exactly！”
　　Liu Qingmei nodded forcefully, and then said with a tone of despair：
　　“That Lu Chen, the third disciple of the Five Peaks, is said to be the nephew of an elder of the Five Peaks. The Qingxuan Sect will definitely not punish him because of me, a mere outer disciple. So I don’t ask for justice, I just ask that my younger sister Zijin no longer be deceived by that shameless person！”
　　And just as her words came out, a gust of cold wind blew again at the entrance of the small courtyard, and then her figure began to become dim little by little.
　　“Young man, if you have the opportunity to go up to the Five Peaks, please hand over that Xunchenxiang to my younger sister！”
　　Seeing that she was about to be scattered, Liu Qingmei’s tone suddenly became urgent, eagerly waiting for Xu Taiping’s response.
　　“If what you said, sister, is true, I will definitely hand over this Xunchenxiang to Sister Zijin for you.”
　　Xu Taiping didn’t hesitate much and promised with a firm look in his eyes.
　　“Thank you, young man！”
　　After getting Xu Taiping’s promise, the female ghost Liu Qingmei immediately fell to her knees and kowtowed heavily on the ground.
　　“Lad, the changeling ghost will surely not give up if it fails today. Although it is extremely difficult to deal with, it is not without weaknesses. During the days when I was captured by it, I accidentally learned that the changeling ghost died drunk before, and the wine is like a poison to its soul. Maybe you can find a way to force it out of the possessed body and then deal with it with wine.”
　　Liu Qingmei suddenly raised her head and told Xu Taiping the weakness of the changeling ghost.
　　“The weakness of this changeling ghost is actually wine？ Thank you, sister, for the reminder！”
　　Xu Taiping was very pleasantly surprised when he heard this and thanked. Although he hadn’t lit the Xunchenxiang yet, his trust in Liu Qingmei increased a little more in his heart.
　　“Lad, be sure to give the Xunchenxiang to my younger sister.”
The female ghost shook her head and once again charged with a pleading face.
　　“Sister Qingmei, don’t worry. As long as I can go up the mountain, I will definitely find a way to give this Xunchenxiang to Sister Zijin.”
　　Xu Taiping nodded very seriously.
　　Hearing this, there was finally a trace of a smile on the bitter face of the female ghost Liu Qingmei.
　　“By the way, lad, there is also a tiger spirit behind the changeling ghost. Its methods are very powerful. If possible, don’t fight against it！”
　　Just when the female ghost’s figure was about to disappear without a trace, she suddenly reminded Xu Taiping in a slightly urgent voice.
　　“Tiger demon？”
　　Looking at the little green fire that suddenly scattered above Liu Qingmei’s corpse, Xu Taiping muttered to himself in surprise.
　　“The story of the ghost acting as a guide for the tiger is actually true.”
　　After hearing that there was a tiger spirit backing the ghost, Xu Taiping, in addition to being shocked, suddenly recalled the story of the ghost acting as a guide for the tiger.
　　“Although I know the weakness of that ghost, but according to what True Monarch Ziyang said, before breaking through to the Open Door Realm, if I encounter a ghost and make a wrong move, I may lose my life on the spot. So it’s best not to deal with it myself, but report it to the sect and let the sect send someone to deal with it.”
　　While thinking like this, Xu Taiping jumped down from above the courtyard gate.
　　“Anyway, let’s report this matter to the sect first. Then move the corpse of the demon wolf in the mountains over. They can’t possibly turn a blind eye, right？”
　　While muttering in a low voice, he took out a small wooden box from the cuff of Liu Qingmei’s corpse.
　　Opening it, what was contained in this wooden box was exactly three sticks of incense.
　　“As for this Seeking Dust Incense and Sister Qingmei’s matter, today I’ll light one to identify the authenticity. Tomorrow, I’ll see the attitude of the people from the sect when they come to deal with that ghost. If they are willing to deal with it, then tell them about Liu Qingmei’s encounter and hand over these three sticks of incense to them.”
　　Xu Taiping stood up and put away the wooden box containing the Seeking Dust Incense.
