The creature in the black light ball had just finished speaking when we heard a muffled "puff" sound.
Then, the black ball of light actually broke apart. The ghost energy in the ball of light carried a chilling and piercing breath, spreading everywhere.
But the next moment, the place where the black light burst suddenly turned red again. Then, I saw that the scattered ghost energy gathered towards the red light at a very fast speed. It was as if there was a vortex over there, swallowing up the ghost energy.
But in an instant, the ghost energy was sucked away by the red-eyed monster.
At this time we also saw its appearance clearly.
It looks so... so scary!
Its head is very similar to that of a human, but it only has one eye, which is red and stands upright in the middle. It also has a nose, ears, mouth, etc. Its skin is blue, and its blood vessels are clearly visible.
Its neck was broken, and its head hung on its chest, as if it had no cervical vertebrae. Its hair hung in disorder on its chest, like yellowed dead grass. What was even more strange was that it had no arms... ...
This creature is so weird that it can really be called a "monster!"
I stood there in amazement, speechless. Even when I tried to recall the records in the "Yin Yang Soul Ferry Notes", I could not find any records about this kind of creature.
This thing looks scary, and the aura it exudes is extremely evil.
"Who the hell are you? Why don't you let us go?"
The one who spoke was the Nightmare Ghost. Although it was afraid, it still spoke. It wanted to understand what was going on. Why did it feel so scared when it faced this monster
The head drooping on the monster's chest turned slightly, its red eyes fixed on the Nightmare Ghost, its mouth slightly opened.
I could see from the side the two rows of fine, saw-like teeth in the monster's mouth.
"Hehe!" He laughed strangely twice.
The monster said, "It's okay to tell you. I am a member of the ancient demon clan who was sealed in the 'Soul Burial Monument' by 'Bodhi Laozi' thousands of years ago. Others call us 'Jubizhishi'."
"According to the corpse"? I haven't heard of it!
At this point, the head of the "Jubizhishi" showed a smug look on its face, and then it started to laugh strangely.
The three of us all looked at this guy called "Jubizhishi". We didn't know why he liked to laugh so much. And his laughter was very creepy.
Perhaps it felt that it would be meaningless for Jubizhishi to laugh if we didn't laugh with it, so after a while, Jubizhishi stopped laughing. Then it stared at us with strange eyes and asked, "Don't you know the name of my Jubizhishi clan?"
We all shook our heads.
"That's not right. How could you not know our name, the Jubizhishi Clan? We were very famous in ancient times, why don't you know? ... By the way, where did the spiritual energy between heaven and earth go? I remember that there was spiritual energy everywhere between heaven and earth. Why can't I feel it now?!"
Having said this, Ju Bizhishi turned his body and fixed his eyes on me, asking, "Tell me, what exactly is this place? Why is there no spiritual energy here?"
I looked at the corpse and knew it was dangerous, so I told it about the "Earth". As for why the spiritual energy disappeared and how it disappeared, I don't know.
"I see, things have changed! Things have really changed! It seems that the prediction made by Bodhi Laozi in ancient times has really come true! ... ... Hehe, but it doesn't matter if there is no spiritual energy. We, the Jubizhishi clan, can survive by relying on ghost energy. Now I can still feel the presence of many ghosts in this place."
"Hehe....
.This is great for me! I want to eat now, I want to eat! "
After saying that, the body of the corpse flashed and turned into a beam of light, rushing towards the nightmare ghost. Its speed was incredibly fast, and its head actually grew longer.
Before the nightmare ghost could react, "Jubizhishi" rushed forward.
"Hehe, my food, come into my stomach today!"
I stood aside, stunned.
I finally understood that this "Jubizhishi" regarded the ghost energy on the ghost's body as its own food. Ghosts survive by relying on ghost energy, which is equivalent to their nutrients. If the nutrients are gone, for the ghost, the soul will be scattered.
"No, I don't want to die! You monster. I just escaped from the killing array not long ago, I don't want to die!..."
The nightmare ghost retreated in horror, preparing to fly away.
Before the Nightmare Ghost's soul flew out, in order to get rid of the entanglement of the Jubizhi corpse, the Nightmare Ghost actually manipulated the ghost energy on its body to roll up Chen Xiaozhi who was standing next to it.
"Yan, what are you doing? We have a soul contract, do you want to hurt me?"
Chen Xiaozhi screamed in horror.
The Nightmare Ghost said solemnly: "We have a soul contract, but the contract says that I cannot kill you. But I don't have any murderous intentions towards you. The one who wants to kill you is that monster! ... Chen Xiaozhi, thank you for helping me stop that monster! I should go now!"
"You're despicable!"
Chen Xiaozhi cursed angrily. She regretted cooperating with the nightmare ghost. But it was too late for her to regret.
At this time, the Nightmare Ghost had already thrown the suspended Chen Xiaozhi towards the rushing Jubizhi corpse.
With a "puff" sound, Chen Xiaozhi's body was knocked away by the corpse!
"Crash!"
The brick wall of the pavilion on the rooftop was knocked down by Chen Xiaozhi, and the bricks were scattered all over the ground. Moreover, the ghost energy on Chen Xiaozhi had disappeared. She simply hit the wall with her flesh and blood.
I noticed that the corpse was licking its mouth, and several ghost spirits were entering its mouth and nose. It seemed that the ghost spirit on Chen Xiaozhi had been sucked away by the corpse.
It was able to make continuous reactions in such a short period of time. This "Jubizhishi" is really amazing.
At this time, the soul of the nightmare ghost had already taken off and flew outside the rooftop.
Its soul was wrapped in ghostly aura, just like a large black cloud floating in the air.
Jubizhishi looked at the Nightmare Ghost moving away, sneered, and said, "It's just a little ghost! What are you trying to do? I am the patriarch of the Jubizhishi clan, and I am specifically here to control the ghosts of your clan!"
Afterwards, the corpse was not ambiguous. Its body was like a cannonball, bringing up a green light and shadow in the air, and then suddenly shot out.
It's really fast!
The nightmare ghost flew several thousand meters away, but the corpse came from behind and surpassed it.
With a "bang", the body of the corpse directly hit the soul of the nightmare ghost.
Moreover, the blue skin of the Jubizhi corpse had a certain adhesion to the ghost's soul. Soon, the nightmare ghost's soul adhered to the Jubizhi corpse.
Fortunately, I opened my third eye to the maximum, otherwise I would not be able to see such a shocking scene.
Soon, the corpse returned.
The head drooped on its chest, and in its mouth, it was holding the soul of the nightmare ghost. Because the body of the corpse had absorbed the soul of the nightmare ghost, the nightmare ghost could not break free.
"Ahhh!" A scream of pain came from the mouth of the nightmare ghost.
The corpse was sucking the ghost's spirit into its own body. The corpse looked really ecstatic!
The nightmare ghost screamed in pain and looked at me, begging for help: "Master Yang, Master Yang... ... Please save me, I don't want to die, I just came out of the killing array not long ago. It was that Chen Xiaozhi who made me hurt people, it was all Chen Xiaozhi. Please save me, if you save me, I am willing to be your ghost with the same fate, and you can control me however you want! ... ... "
The nightmare ghost was at a loss at this time. Asking "Jubizhishi" for help didn't work, so it could only come to me for help.
I didn't take the nightmare ghost because I found that the head of the corpse had turned towards me.
It seems that the corpse's vertical eyes were staring at me.
I cleared my throat, clasped my fists towards Jubizhishi and said, "Um... Jubizhishi, don't look at me like that, I'll be scared. This nightmare ghost and I are not in the same group. If you want to enjoy its soul, you can do so. I won't stop you."
Who would have thought that Jubizhishi would ask me inexplicably, "Are you really a Taoist priest? Why can't I sense spiritual energy from you? How do you practice Taoism?"
It turns out that the corpse thought I was a Taoist priest who could absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. But I am not that kind of Taoist priest. I am a Taoist priest who catches ghosts.
Under Jubizhishi's cold gaze, I told him everything about myself as a "ghost-catching Taoist priest" without any reservations.
"I see!"
"I said that there is no spiritual energy between heaven and earth, how can you practice Taoism? It turns out that you are just a fake 'Taoist priest'. A real Taoist priest is a powerful person who can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and master all kinds of magic. Even we demons will retreat when we see a Taoist priest!"
Having said that, Ju Bizhishi suddenly used his mouth to pull out the fragment of the divine map from the nightmare ghost's soul.
It asked me, "Human boy, when we were trapped in the array earlier, I saw you trying to manipulate this fragment of the divine map. Do you have other fragments of the divine map?"
"Jubizhishi" asked about the fragments of the sacred map.
Damn it, it seems it is obsessed with the divine map. But I am no match for the Jubizhishi now. If I fight it rashly, the possibility of failure is almost 100%. Unless the Taotie beast in the red lacquer coffin can help me, then maybe I still have a chance of winning.
After thinking about it and weighing the pros and cons, I faced the corpse and said, "That's right! I still have a fragment of the divine map here."
When Jubizhishi heard me say that I still had fragments of the sacred map, an expression of joy appeared on his face.
It said hurriedly: "Well, then take out the remaining fragments of the divine map, and I will take a look to see if they are real."
Nodding, I took the fragments of the divine map out of the cloth bag and threw them to Jubizhi's corpse.
It stretched its neck and held the fragment of the divine map in its mouth. Then its red single eye began to tour the fragment of the divine map.
A few minutes later, the corpse suddenly started to laugh strangely again.
Its laughter was so fucking creepy that I immediately got goose bumps on my arms.
"Great! They are all fragments of the divine map, both of them! ... I didn't expect that I could come across things from the ancient times here today. Haha... It seems that my wish to 'return to my ancestors' and become more powerful is also possible! Haha, this is great!"
Then, before I could react, the corpse flashed and appeared in front of me, controlling the ghost energy. The red light in its single eye slowly disappeared, and then the eyes became clear.
"You...you...what do you want to do? I've told you everything I know!"
The corpse ignored my words and asked me expectantly, "Tell me, did you drop your blood on these two divine pictures?"
