The metal sphere was detonated mercilessly by the enemy.
But the violent explosion that was imagined did not come from underground.
"Damn it, what's going on? Why hasn't the Burning Sky Platform exploded yet?!" Confusion and annoyance appeared in Xu's eyes.
Everyone in the offering pavilion was also very puzzled.
At this moment, a shadow appeared behind the ghost. The shadow gradually solidified, and an old man with a white beard and wearing gray clothes appeared out of thin air.
"It's him, the old man with white beard!"
Zhang Rong made a sound in surprise.
Seeing that everyone was looking behind him in shock, the ghost's soul slowly turned sideways. When it saw the white-bearded old man standing behind it with a calm face, it was also surprised.
"Who are you?"
The 鬽 knew that the white-bearded old man who appeared out of nowhere must be very powerful. Otherwise, with its perception, it would be able to sense someone approaching.
The white-bearded old man had a calm expression on his face. He smiled and took out a green jade gourd from his arms.
The old man with white beard said nothing more. He gently opened the lid of the jade gourd. Then, he looked at the ghost and said indifferently without any emotion: "Little ghost, this is not the place for you to come. Come with me."
Then the old man lightly touched the jade gourd with his finger, and a white light gathered on the jade gourd. A green light flashed on the gourd.
Then, a strong pulling force was released from inside the jade gourd.
The white light and the jade gourd made the ghost realize that something was wrong.
The soul of the gourd trembled, and the ghost energy was activated, and it was about to leave the offering pavilion. But what it didn't expect was that just as its soul began to become illusory and tried to break free, the pulling force on the jade gourd suddenly increased.
"Go in!"
The old man gave a light shout.
Then, we saw that as the ghost of Xing struggled, its body slowly became distorted, and an expression of fear appeared on Xing's face.
"No, no, no, sir, please let me go. I won't destroy the offering pavilion again. Sir, I know I was wrong..."
But the old man with white beard didn't give him any chance at all.
Soon the jade gourd sucked the cat into it.
The old man with white beard gently closed the lid of the gourd.
Then the old man with white beard said nothing, his figure slowly became illusory and was about to disappear.
Magu wanted to know who the old man with white beard was, so she asked loudly, "Sir, who are you? You helped Gongyang Pavilion, so you are our benefactor. Can you leave your name?"
Before his body disappeared, the white-bearded old man looked back and said loudly: "I am the 'Zuo Ci Zhenren' of Longhu Mountain! You don't have to worry about it. I am only helping the Gongyang Pavilion to follow the will of heaven."
Zuo Ci Zhenren? Never heard of him.
However, the "Longhu Mountain" is said to be the birthplace of Taoism, and it has a long-standing reputation in the world of the living. The branch of ghost-catching Taoist priests actually evolved from the Longhu Mountain faction to a large extent.
But the old man with white beard did not explain, and soon his figure disappeared completely.
I looked at Magu who was standing beside me and asked in a low voice, "Master Magu, what did you see? Do you know this person called Zuo Ci Zhenren?"
Magu shook her head and said, "That person should be considered a person from your world, but strictly speaking, he is not a person from your world."
"Not considered a mortal? What do you mean?"
I was a little confused by Magu's words.
Magu explained: "If I am not mistaken, that person should be a monk."
Ascetic
Grandma's
, another unfamiliar word popped up. How would I know what the word "monk" meant
Magu smiled at me and said, "Well, you should stop asking. You are still a young man, so it is better for you not to know many things. Knowing too much will not do you any good."
This is so familiar, as if I said this to Ma Qiang when I was in the mortal world. It seems that in Magu's eyes, I am just a rookie.
At this time, the ancestor left, and the Gongyang Pavilion did not explode. Zuo Weiran and the remaining ghost officials in the pavilion knew that there was no hope of escape. So, the ghost officials all knelt on the ground and repeatedly admitted their mistakes to Magu.
For a moment, Zuo Weiran was the only one standing in the northwest corner of the offering pavilion.
Zuo Weiran looked at the kneeling ghost officials and was very angry. He cursed: "You cowards, you betrayed me because you knew I couldn't beat Magu, right? Have you forgotten how much I have done for you? You are a bunch of ungrateful guys!..."
Zuo Weiran was really too angry.
But his words did not change the minds of the ghost officials.
In fact, it was more because Zuo Weiran was no longer a human being. Now he was a guy who was neither human nor ghost. No matter how stupid those ghost officials were, they knew that following Zuo Weiran would not end well.
Zuo Weiran's evil spirit instantly rose. The next moment, he yelled, "Since you betrayed me, don't blame my men for being ruthless. We're all going to die anyway. Then I'll drag you bastards with me to take the blame."
Then Zuo Weiran controlled the ghost energy and began to kill the ghost officials who were kneeling on the ground. Seeing that Zuo Weiran had gone mad, the ghost officials all urged their dark energy to fight with Zuo Weiran.
Although many of those ghost officials were slaughtered by ancient humans before, they were numerous after all, and there were still more than a hundred of them alive.
Soon, more than a hundred ghost officials surrounded Zuo Weiran.
But Zuo Weiran was also not vague. He kept releasing ghost energy and even used a kind of ghost magic to condense ghost faces and attack those ghost officials.
Soon, many ghost officials died tragically from the bites of those ghost faces. What was very strange was that when those ghost officials were dying, they actually had smiles on their faces. It didn't look like their bodies were eroded by ghost energy, but rather they died of laughter.
I volunteered, "Sir Magu, many of those ghost officials were killed or injured. Even if they can deal with Zuo Weiran, more than half of them will be injured. Why not let me go over and help?"
"I am a Taoist priest. It is my responsibility to catch ghosts and monsters."
But Magu stopped me and said to me in a deep voice: "Tianyi, you don't have to go over yet. Let those ghost officials deal with Zuo Weiran. After all, those ghost officials betrayed the Gongyang Pavilion, and I still have to punish them. This is a good opportunity."
Before I could say anything, Magu said to the group of ghost officials who were attacking Zuo Weiran, "You ghost officials are all traitors to the Gongyang Pavilion. I was not prepared to forgive you, but now I have changed my mind. If you want to prove your sincerity, you must kill the beast Zuo Weiran."
"Only if you kill Zuo Weiran will I reconsider accepting you. Otherwise, I will send all of you to the eighteen levels of hell, where you will never be able to be reborn."
After hearing what Magu said, many of the ghost officials showed excitement on their faces. After all, they felt that Magu would not let them go, but now there was such a good opportunity, they felt that they had to seize it.
Then those ghost officials went into crazy mode and began to attack Zuo Weiran vigorously.
Although Zuo Weiran has devoured many ghosts
, but he still has a long way to go before his body can completely transform into a ghost. If he didn't have ghost energy, but controlled the dark energy, perhaps those ghost officials would not be his opponent. But it is precisely because he has both dark energy and ghost energy that his strength has degraded.
Of course, I know that the reason why Zuo Weiran turned into a ghost is nothing more than that ghosts can survive longer. At the same time, he should also think that after he completely turns into a ghost, his strength will increase dramatically.
However, his current mediocre strength made him seem a little overwhelmed even when dealing with those ghost officials.
Soon after killing dozens of ghost officials, the ghost energy on Zuo Weiran began to fade. He was trapped in a corner, with wounds all over his body and bleeding. The "ghost bag" on his back had been broken, and dark green liquid flowed out of it, which looked extremely disgusting.
"Kill him, kill him, and we can return to the Hall of Offerings. Lady Magu will forgive our sins. Kill him..."
"Zuo Weiran is simply a monster, even ghosts look down on him. He led us to rebel against the Gongyang Pavilion, which is basically harming us. Now is the best time for us to get rid of this bastard."
"Yes, yes, yes, we can't let him go, we must kill him. I just found out that my girlfriend's disappearance was caused by that bastard Zuo Weiran. He imprisoned those female ghost officials and made them his own slaves. His heart is already tainted."
Those ghost officials roared angrily, released the underworld energy, manipulated the underworld tools, and attacked Zuo Weiran.
Zuo Weiran was outnumbered after all, and soon he was knocked to the ground by a group of ghost officials. One of his arms had been chopped off and fell to the side.
Perhaps because the arm was separated from the "ghost body", it began to emit an unpleasant smell within just a dozen seconds after being cut off.
It was as if his arm had been soaked in water for decades and had become smelly.
"You are a bunch of traitorous bastards. I, Zuo Weiran, curse you all to die miserably!"
Zuo Weiran yelled and cursed.
His curse was completely useless. If he was really a ghost, he might have mastered some curse techniques and it might be effective. But for a creature like him that was neither human nor ghost, it was impossible.
Just when those excited ghost officials wanted to completely destroy Zuo Weiran, they were stopped by Magu.
"Okay, you guys stop for now. I think you guys are doing a good job, you living ghost officials. I can let you stay in the Gongyang Pavilion. Now, go to Zhu Xinglong to get the evil corruption pill. After you take the evil corruption pill, you will still be the ghost officials of my Gongyang Pavilion."
Many of those ghost officials have heard of the name of "Evil and Corruption Pill" and know how powerful it is.
But now Magu asked them to take the evil-corrupting pill, and they dared not disobey.
Soon all the ghost officials left.
Magu took us to Zuo Weiran.
Zuo Weiran was lying on the ground, with bloodshot eyes and a dull look in his eyes. Without his arms, the deflated sac on his back, and some black spots on his face, he looked like an ugly freak.
Zuo Weiran saw Magu approaching him. He was still struggling with his remaining arm, but it was of no use. He could no longer get up.
He opened his mouth and roared: "Magu, losing to an old woman like you is the greatest shame of my life. You are not worthy of being the head of the Gongyang Pavilion. I believe that even if I die, someone will take your place one day in the future. You and your fox daughter will not die well! ... "
