Seeing the middle-aged man walking out of the coffin, the young monk Yuquan and I subconsciously retracted our heads.
A few minutes later, when I didn't notice any unusual movement, I dared to look up.
Originally, I thought that once the ghost king was found in a physical body, he would leave the cemetery.
But I was wrong.
Not only did the Ghost King not leave this place, he also took out the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart that he had snatched from the demon cave.
When I saw the exquisite heart with seven orifices wrapped in transparent crystal, my heart tightened.
Thinking of what the Ghost King said to himself earlier, I couldn't help but frown. The Ghost King had said before that he needed a body, and now he has found one and has possessed it. Then, next, he may have to fuse the Seven Apertures Heart!
But the Seven-Aperture Heart is exactly what I need. If it is merged by the Ghost King, what will happen to my girlfriend Su Su? I can't help but feel anxious.
The young monk Yuquan also thought of this when he saw the Ghost King take out the Seven-Aperture Heart.
Seeing my stern expression, Yuquan lowered his voice to comfort me, saying, "Brother Yang, don't worry. I have left a mark on the road. My master will definitely find this place later... If you take action now, you will not be a match for the Ghost King."
"Don't be reckless, otherwise, not only will you not be able to obtain the Seven-Aperture Heart, but you may also lose your life."
Yuquan looked serious when he said this.
I gritted my teeth and resisted the urge.
At this time, the ghost king had already taken action.
However, he placed the Seven-Aperture Heart on his thigh. Then, a terrifying and bloody scene appeared. The Ghost King actually used his ghost energy to cover his right hand, and directly reached into his own body, and took out the heart of the owner of his body directly from his chest.
The foul smell of blood filled the air.
Blood continued to flow down the mourning clothes on the Ghost King's body.
But the Ghost King ignored all this and a smug expression appeared on his face.
After a while, he raised his hand and threw the bloody heart in his hand towards us. This action was very casual.
Unexpectedly, the heart hit the young monk Yuquan directly on the head when he was caught off guard.
"Ouch! That hurts!"
Yuquan called out subconsciously.
It was this cry that startled the ghost king in the cemetery.
"Who is there? Come out!"
The Ghost King 1 shouted in a sinister voice. His red eyes stared at us fiercely.
Yuquan knew that he was in trouble, so he quickly shut his mouth and looked at me with guilt in his eyes.
I made a hushing gesture to Yuquan.
Then, when Yuquan was not prepared, I took out a talisman from my cloth bag, chanted the talisman softly, and then stuck the talisman on the body of the little monk Yuquan.
The young monk Yuquan lowered his voice and asked in surprise: "Brother Yang, what are you doing? Why are you freezing me?!"
I let out a long breath and said to Yuquan, "Yuquan, the ghost king has discovered us. Someone must go out now. Otherwise, we will all die... So, you stay here and don't make any noise. I'll go out and deal with it."
"But Brother Yang, you are no match for that ghost king!"
Yuquan's face was full of anxiety.
I smiled at him and said, "Yuquan, you may not understand, there are some things, if I don't do them, I may regret it for the rest of my life. I know your master, Master Xiangyun, can't get here for a while. And now the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart is in the hands of the Ghost King. It seems that he is also ready to merge. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dug out the heart of the middle-aged man's physical body."
"But, Brother Yang..."
Xiaohe
Shang Yuquan wanted to say something else.
But I interrupted him and whispered, "Yuquan, stay here. No matter what happens, don't make a sound and don't worry about me. I won't let that Seven-Aperture Heart be merged by the Ghost King! ... Unless I die!"
Tears appeared in Yuquan's eyes.
I patted Yuquan's shoulder gently and slowly stood up from the bushes.
The Ghost King was still shouting at this time, "Who? Come out, or I will take action! Then I will make you die miserably."
I waded through the bushes into the cemetery.
When the ghost king saw me, he was a little surprised. He must have seen that I had a kind of good aura.
After looking at me for a few times, he said in a deep voice: "Little Taoist priest, why are you here? Are you following me?"
I looked at the Ghost King, smiled, and said, "Brother, I think you are mistaken. I just happened to pass by here. How could I follow you? I originally wanted to go to a small village far away to ask for something to eat, but I didn't expect to come here because I had to pee urgently. It just so happens that you..."
What I said is pure nonsense.
After hearing what I said, the Ghost King looked at me, suddenly laughed wildly and said: "Little Taoist priest, you are trying to fool ghosts. Do you think I am easy to fool?"
The Ghost King's face darkened and his eyes became sinister.
I shrugged my shoulders, trying to remain calm, and replied, "Brother, I think you are mistaken. I really came here to pee. But don't get me wrong. Although I know you are a ghost, I am also quite skilled. I don't want to fight with you."
"Don't worry, Brother Ghost. As long as you let me go, I'll pretend I never met you. How do you think?"
I said this, on the one hand, to scare the ghost king in front of me. On the other hand, it also makes me look more natural. After all, the ghost king just dug out the heart of the middle-aged man's flesh body. In the eyes of ordinary people, it would definitely be scary.
After hearing what I said, the Ghost King looked suspicious.
But after a moment, the Ghost King laughed coldly and said, "Hey, little Taoist priest, I don't care whether you are peeing or something else. Since you have met me, I can only kill you first. It just so happens that my soul has just merged with this body, and my mouth is still a little dry. I can suck the blood out of your body."
I knew the Ghost King would not let me go, so I tried to delay time.
I continued to interrupt, "My dear ghost brother, I don't know why you dug out your own heart. But after all, you and I are strangers. Although you are a ghost, I am not going to fight you."
"And I might as well tell you that my master is the most powerful ghost-catching Taoist priest in Jiangbin City. If you dare to attack me, I'm afraid my master will not let you go."
I'm trying to scare the Ghost King.
But just as I expected, the Ghost King didn't buy it at all.
He said coldly: "Hey, kid, stop talking nonsense here, you must die today."
After saying that, the Ghost King put away his Seven Apertures Heart and attacked me.
He moved his body, stretched out his claws, and grabbed me.
I stepped on the Seven Stars Step and dodged to the side. But just as I took a step forward, the ghost king's body appeared in front of me.
"Hey, kid, where are you running to?"
Seeing that things were not going well, I quickly dodged to the side.
However, the Ghost King was able to control the body of the middle-aged man with ease.
He has blocked my way again!
Soon, after running back and forth for seven or eight minutes, I was already out of breath. Even the Yin De Qi in my body seemed to be somewhat deficient due to my constant stimulation.
I thought to myself, I can’t hide anymore.
The ghost king in front of me is obviously teasing me.
But apart from the "divine map" that can be effective against the ghost king, I'm afraid the only thing left is the red lacquer coffin. But the gluttonous beast in the red lacquer coffin doesn't buy my account at all, what should I do
Perhaps sensing my thoughts, the Taotie beast in the red lacquer coffin said with a smile: "What's wrong? Yang Tianyi, now that you are in danger, you think of me?"
I said anxiously in my heart, "Taotie, I'm in trouble now. Hurry up and help me resist that ghost king. Otherwise, I will die. If the red lacquer coffin falls into the hands of the ghost king, he will definitely not let you go."
Who knew that the Taotie Beast would casually say: "That ghost king? ... ... Hehe, he is no match for me. Besides, it is impossible for him to control the red lacquer coffin. Only humans can control this red lacquer coffin. How can a little ghost drive such a magical tool?"
Artifact
What does it mean? I don't know. The situation is critical now, and I am too lazy to think about it.
I was very angry and didn't care about anything else. I just took out the red lacquered coffin from the cloth bag.
"Hey, little Taoist priest, you'd better surrender. There's no point in running around like this. Anyway, sooner or later I'll suck your blood dry and eat your flesh."
At this time, the ghost hand of the ghost king had already descended and was about to grab my neck.
I quickly used the red lacquered coffin as a substitute!
But the red lacquered coffin did not turn out to be used as I expected.
The red lacquer coffin was suddenly caught in the hands of the Ghost King.
"Hey! What kind of treasure is this? Why do I sense an unusual aura on top of this small coffin? Hehe, little Taoist priest, your treasure is very strange. And that kind of footwork is actually a kind of footwork that you human Taoist priests have lost. I have actually seen this kind of footwork hundreds of years ago."
"Now I believe that you do have a powerful master. However, if it's just you, you are no match for me. Let me tell you, I'm not just an ordinary ghost, I'm the king among ghosts!"
I didn't have time to listen to the Ghost King's nagging, so I found the right direction and ran out of the cemetery.
But the ghost king came to me again, holding the red lacquer coffin. He raised his hand, and several ghost auras wrapped around me.
My body was tightly entangled by the ghost energy and I couldn't move. I couldn't even activate the Yin De Qi.
“Come here!”
The Ghost King's ghost hand controlled the ghost energy and pulled me directly in front of him.
Then the ghost energy formed a thread and tied my body to a nearby tree.
Damn it, I’m in trouble now.
I thought the Taotie beast would help me, but that bastard didn't help.
Looking at me tied to the tree, the Ghost King moved over with the red lacquer coffin in his hand and asked solemnly, "Little Taoist priest, tell me, what exactly is this small coffin? What is its function? Why do I sense a strange aura from it?"
I gritted my teeth and said stubbornly, "I don't know. Kill me if you want. I won't tell you."
As soon as I finished speaking, the Ghost King's hand slapped me in the face with a "snap".
Although his hand was that of a middle-aged man, it was already covered with black energy. It could no longer be called a hand, but rather a claw. When his claw hit my face, several claw marks appeared on my face.
"I told you to be stubborn! ... ... It seems that you won't say anything unless I give you some pain!"
After saying that, the Ghost King slapped me more than a dozen times in a row.
My face was bruised and my nose was bleeding. Fortunately, the ghost king controlled his power and did not release a strong ghost energy, otherwise, if he slapped me, my head might have been chopped off.
