"Little Taoist priest, tell me quickly, what is this small coffin used for? Why can't I open it? ... If you don't tell me, I will kill you!"
The ghost king said gloomily. Perhaps to scare me, his face was very close to mine. His red eyes stared at me intently, with a fierce aura that made me feel dizzy.
Suddenly I felt a little fuzzy and my head was like a mess.
Gradually, I felt physically tired and mentally exhausted.
My eyelids are tingling and I feel sleepy.
Soon, uncontrollably, I closed my eyes.
What I didn't know was that I had actually been hypnotized by the Ghost King Shadow.
The Ghost King Shadow placed the red-painted coffin on a tombstone on the side.
Then, he came to my side and tapped my temples with the middle fingers of both hands. He also urged a dark ghost energy to slowly sink into my head.
After a moment, the Ghost King Dark Shadow sneered and asked, "Boy, now tell me, what is your name?"
I actually answered obediently: "My name is Yang Tianyi!"
Perhaps he was just teasing me, the Ghost King asked with a smile: "Okay, Yang Tianyi, let me ask you now, are you a man or a woman?"
Needless to say, I have a dick, so of course I am a man.
But my consciousness has become blurred and I can't control my thoughts at all.
I answered honestly: "I am a man."
The ghost king showed a smug expression on his face, and he asked again: "Well, Yang Tianyi, let me ask you again, what is that little red lacquer coffin of yours, and what is it used for?"
I was about to answer.
At this moment, there was a buzzing sound in my head, as if a thunder had suddenly exploded.
The voice of the Taotie beast echoed in my head, "... Yang Tianyi, wake up soon, the ghost king has controlled your mind. You can't tell him about the red lacquered coffin, otherwise, my master will not let you go." Its master is the person inside the huge coffin inside the red lacquered coffin.
There was some kind of strong fluctuation in the voice of the Taotie beast, which immediately woke me up from hypnosis.
I opened my eyes suddenly.
When my vision regained clarity, I saw the Ghost King standing in front of me.
The Ghost King was still asking me, "Yang Tianyi, tell me quickly, what exactly is that red lacquer coffin and what is it used for?"
I sneered in my heart and thought, since the Ghost King wants to know, I will just tell him.
I pretended to look dazed, and it looked like I was being controlled.
I opened my mouth and answered in a slow, deep voice, "That red lacquer coffin is a toy. I bought it from a toy store. It was a toy I bought for my little niece."
The Ghost King was very surprised after hearing what I said. At the same time, anger was revealed in his eyes.
But he still didn't believe it and asked again, "The red lacquer coffin is a toy? How is that possible! Yang Tianyi, is what you said true?"
I replied, "It is true, absolutely true."
The Ghost King asked another question tentatively, "Yang Tianyi, tell me, why did you appear in the woods of the cemetery? Are you following me?"
Without hesitation, I replied expressionlessly: "No, I came here because I wanted to find a place to pee. I didn't follow you!"
The Ghost King's expression was gloomy and uncertain.
He glanced at the red lacquer coffin placed on the stone tablet next to him, and a look of displeasure appeared on his face. He muttered, "Damn it, I thought it was something good, but it turned out to be just a child's toy from the living world."
After saying that, the Ghost King raised his hand and released a stream of ghost energy.
There was a green light mixed in with the red light, sweeping towards the red lacquer coffin. I knew that the green light was a will-o'-the-wisp.
It seems that the Ghost King wants to destroy the red lacquer coffin.
However, when the ghost energy carrying ghost fire bombarded the red lacquered coffin, the red lacquered coffin did not explode as expected.
This made the Ghost King feel incredible.
When the Ghost King turned sideways, he happened to see me looking at the red lacquered coffin.
The Ghost King Shadow suddenly understood something. He stared with red eyes and said angrily: "Asshole, human boy, you dare to play tricks on me. You were not hypnotized by my method. Damn it!"
I knew I couldn't hide it any longer, so I restored my original appearance.
I mocked the Ghost King and said teasingly, "Ghost King, you are a fool. You think you are so great just because you got the Seven-Aperture Heart. I tell you, ghosts are ghosts, and they are not tolerated by heaven and earth. I advise you to let me go quickly, otherwise, you will be in trouble."
The ghost king's eyes were about to burst, and he shouted angrily: "Just you? ... ... Humph, little Taoist priest, you really don't know your place! Since you know that I got the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, then this means that you are not just peeing, right?"
I squinted my eyes and ignored the Ghost King.
The Ghost King Dark Shadow raised his lips and said in a deep voice: "Well, since you won't tell me, I will kill you now!"
After saying that, the Ghost King stretched out his claws and grabbed my head.
He is very fast.
Furthermore, my body had been bound by a thread of ghost energy and I couldn't move at all.
"Boy, I'll blow your head off!"
Just as the ghost king's claws were approaching my head, the lid of the red lacquered coffin placed on the tombstone suddenly opened.
Immediately afterwards, a red tongue flew towards me at an extremely fast speed.
When the Ghost King's claw was less than one centimeter away from my head, the red tongue directly knocked the Ghost King's claw away.
At the same time, after knocking away the Ghost King's claws, the red tongue attacked the Ghost King's soul again.
I was overjoyed and thought to myself, the Taotie beast has finally made a move.
That’s right, the one who made the move was the giant beast Taotie in the red lacquered coffin.
The Taotie beast controlled its red tongue to constantly collide and entangle with the ghost energy released by the Ghost King.
At the same time, the sticky liquid on the red tongue was also extremely destructive to the ghost king's soul. When it touched the ghost king's soul, it actually sucked away a lot of the ghost energy from the ghost king.
"Damn it, what kind of monster is this? It's actually immune to and absorbs my ghost energy. It's so scary!!"
An expression of horror appeared on the Ghost King's face.
The soul trembled and the Ghost King Shadow was about to escape.
However, the Taotie beast in the red lacquered coffin did not give the Ghost King any chance.
The Taotie beast controlled its red tongue and directly cut off the Ghost King's retreat.
The red tongue rolled up and wrapped around the Ghost King's Shadow, dragging him towards the red lacquered coffin.
The poor Ghost King Shadow wanted to escape from the body he controlled, but failed.
"No, no... Don't kill me, I don't want to die yet!"
The Ghost King Shadow felt death approaching and howled like a ghost.
But the more he struggled, the tighter the red tongue wrapped around his soul, and a lot of ghost energy in his body was sucked away by the red tongue.
It might be because the Ghost King's aura had weakened. The ghost energy on my body suddenly popped apart with a "bang" after I circulated the Yin De energy. It turned into ghost energy and diffused in the air.
Just when the Taotie beast was about to pull the Ghost King Shadow into the red lacquer coffin, I stopped him and said, "Taotie beast, stop it first! Don't devour it. The Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart I want is still on him!"
The Taotie beast listened to what I said, and it floated in the air with the Ghost King's shadow wrapped around its red tongue.
Seeing that he had not been dragged into the coffin by the red tongue, the ghost king Dark Shadow said to me
He looked in the direction of the enemy and begged: "Little brother, please save me. I don't want to die! ... ... Don't worry, I, Shadow, will remember your kindness."
"As long as you let me go, I am willing to offer you my heart. I am also willing to be your slave and obey your orders."
"Little brother, I was wrong before. My attitude was bad and I shouldn't have taken action. But now I am truly repentant. I don't want to die. As long as you can stop this monster from killing me, I will do whatever you say..."
I tilted my head, looked at the Ghost King Shadow with disdain, and asked, "Are you done?"
Ghost King Shadow was stunned for a moment, then said nervously, "That's it!"
I glared at him unhappily and said angrily, “Now that you’re done, shut up.”
At this time, the lazy voice of the Taotie beast came from the red lacquered coffin.
It said rudely, "Yang Tianyi, come on, I'll help you too. The Seven-Aperture Heart is on the body that the ghost king is possessed by. Go and get it yourself."
"As for the ghost king's soul, it is my reward for helping you. I need to devour it to replenish my strength."
After hearing this, the Ghost King yelled in horror.
I was standing aside and felt that the Ghost King's voice was noisy, so I threw out a forbidden note and sealed the Ghost King Shadow's mouth.
I was not in a hurry to retrieve the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, but directly said to the Taotie Beast: "No, you can't kill this ghost king."
The Taotie beast became very angry when he heard what I said.
He said unhappily: "Yang Tianyi, what do you mean by that? Let me tell you, if I hadn't considered that you were already half the owner of the red lacquer coffin, I would not help you at all."
I smiled and said quickly, "Taotie Beast, you misunderstood! What I meant is that you cannot kill this ghost king, but I will kill it. As for the ghost energy left after the ghost king died, it is useless for me to keep it, and you can devour it."
When Taotie heard what I said, he suddenly understood and said with a smile: "Haha, this kid is teachable! This kid is teachable... I understand. You want to kill this ghost king yourself just to accumulate good karma."
I nodded and smiled, "Yes, you guessed it right."
The Taotie Beast thought for a moment and said, "Well, then I will absorb most of the ghost energy from this ghost king, leaving him with a little energy, and then you can kill him. That should be all right, right?"
I smiled and said, "That's the best. After all, Brother Taotie, you are much stronger than me."
Hearing me call myself "Big Brother", the Taotie beast laughed.
It seems that he really enjoys being called "Big Brother".
Soon, I found the seven-orifice heart from the body of the middle-aged man possessed by the Ghost King.
When I got the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, the crystal on the outside was icy cold, but the heart inside was emitting light and was still vibrating slightly.
"Is this the Seven-Aperture Heart? It can survive without the body. It's really amazing!"
At this time, the Taotie beast had already sucked away most of the ghost energy from the Ghost King Shadow.
The middle-aged man controlled by the Ghost King's shadow looked listless. Most of his ghost energy was gone, and his movements were restrained by the Taotie Beast, so the current Ghost King was not much stronger than an ordinary little ghost.
"Hurry up and do it! Yang Tianyi. If you don't do it now, the old monk will find this place. I don't want Monk Xiangyun to know my existence... And I don't want the young monk Yuquan hiding in the bushes to reveal my secret. Yang Tianyi, do you understand what I mean?"
When the Taotie beast said these words, its voice was full of seriousness and earnestness. It seemed that it might have some unspeakable secrets and was afraid that the old monk Xiangyun would find out.
