Seeing Qu Mingzhu's insect body rushing towards me, I quickly dodged.
Although her insect body was huge, her movement speed was not slow. Her dense black legs and feet kept swinging, and she quickly appeared in front of me.
I quickly dodged and at the same time activated the Yin-Yang diagram on my right hand.
The Yin-Yang diagram is completed!
The black bullets shot towards me like arrows. The density was too great to dodge.
"Sizzle!" With a few sounds, the black object hit the Yin-Yang diagram, making a harsh corrosion sound.
I noticed that the Yin-Yang diagram was being rapidly corroded by the black **, and the supply of Yin De Qi was cut off.
A numbing feeling spread from my right hand to my body, and goose bumps appeared all over my body.
After a while, the Yin-Yang diagram, which was emitting golden light and where black and white merged, suddenly shrank rapidly until it was the size of a fist.
With a muffled "puff" sound, the Yin-Yang diagram was corroded by the black liquid and shattered.
A little bit of black liquid stained my arm, and suddenly, beads of sweat appeared on my forehead. Although the liquid was only a little, it brought a strong burning sensation, and it was extremely painful when it dripped on my body.
“Damn it!”
I muttered something cursing under my breath.
Qu Mingzhu, who was standing opposite her, actually smiled from her ferocious face. Her smile was extremely ugly, and the black spots on her face looked like they were covered with bugs, making people feel disgusted and nauseous.
"You can control the energy of Yin De, which means you are a ghost-catching Taoist priest. But so what! Since you have come here and know my secret, I can only kill you and devour your flesh and blood."
I was filled with indignation and uttered two words: "Despicable!"
Qu Mingzhu didn't care about my insults. She said coldly, "It's not that I'm mean, it's that you shouldn't have come here. You are the ones who meddled in other people's business, so you can't blame me."
After saying that, black bolts of lightning shot towards me and my master again like raining arrows.
I hurriedly rushed to the front of my master Zhang Chu with my Gangbu steps, stretched out my arms, and quickly moved with my master Zhang Chu, thus avoiding Qu Mingzhu's attack.
After I arranged for my master Zhang Chu to go to a safer place, I said to him, "Master, you stay here first. I will go meet Qu Mingzhu myself."
Zhang Chu looked at me and said, "Tianyi, be careful."
I nodded and said, "Don't worry, Master. I will definitely kill this insect monster."
Then I rushed out, and at the same time, the good energy stimulated the ancient lotus lamp.
All of a sudden, the wicks on the ancient lotus lamp began to sway constantly, and the nine wicks looked magnificent.
Maybe it's because the ancient lotus lamp absorbed a lot of corpse gas in the corpse-raising ground in the Soul Burial Valley. So now when it is burning, it does not absorb the corpse gas from the Qu Mingzhu worm's body. If it could absorb the corpse gas from the Qu Mingzhu worm, I wouldn't have to spend so much effort.
The ancient lotus lamp suddenly released several flames.
The rocket and the black particles met in mid-air. Just like before, the flames successfully broke through the obstruction of the black particles and rushed towards Qu Mingzhu's insect body.
This time, Qu Mingzhu did not dodge and recited the spell again.
Then the circle-shaped shadow slowly formed in front of her again, and a lot of her corpse energy was absorbed into the shadow.
The flame rushed over and was directly sucked into the phantom circle.
The flames, stirred by the corpse gas, began to go out quickly, as if they had encountered wet mist.
But my divine eye still noticed that the corpse in the shadow circle
Most of the air was burned into white mist by the flames and spread into the air. Suddenly, white mist rose up in all directions, as if a hot spring with a steamer appeared here.
The circular shadow broke, and the flames of the ancient lotus lamps that I released also disappeared.
"Hehe, you stinky Taoist priest, it seems like you can't do anything to me!"
Qu Mingzhu said with some pride.
I thought to myself, you stinking corpse bug actually look down on me. It's not that I don't have a way, I'm just afraid that my way will scare her to death. You know, I have the fragments of the divine map and the red lacquer coffin. Just relying on these two things, I believe I can walk sideways in this world.
Afraid of Qu Mingzhu? That's a joke.
The reason why I haven't used the fragments of the divine map and the red lacquer coffin until now is actually to test my own abilities. I want to see if I can deal with Qu Mingzhu with my own means alone.
Seeing that I was standing there calmly, Qu Mingzhu stopped mocking me and glanced at me coldly.
I noticed that corpse gas was still emitting from the yellow water behind her and was sinking into Qu Mingzhu's insect body.
Oh, I understand. The emotional problem lies in the yellow water. The reason why Qu Mingzhu's body is full of corpse qi is because she relies on the yellow water and absorbs the corpse qi accumulated in the yellow water into her insect body.
Knowing this, I raised the corner of my mouth slightly, and then activated the ancient lotus lamp, releasing more flames.
But this time the flames did not hit Qu Mingzhu's insect body directly, but hit the stone house behind her.
Qu Mingzhu may have discovered my intention, and she shouted at the top of her lungs: "No! Don't!"
I was surprised by her panic.
But when she moved back to her insect body, my flames still successfully hit the stone house behind her. Suddenly, the stones flew down and the mist rose. The yellow water surrounded by the stones began to evaporate rapidly in the flames.
Balls of fire kept sinking into the yellow water.
Soon, with a few "Puff Puff Puff!" sounds, the stone house was completely burned and exploded. At the same time, the corpse gas in the yellow water also evaporated.
The next moment, a gray ball of light flew out from the bottom of the yellow water.
I looked over and found that the light film was actually wrapped in dark gray corpse gas. A baby-sized creature was born from the corpse gas. The little creature had the shape of a human and was constantly tumbling in the corpse gas.
As the temperature of the yellow water rose, the little guy actually let out an “Ahh!” sound from his mouth.
I heard it clearly, it was clearly the cry of a baby.
What was being raised inside the ball of corpse energy and light was actually a baby.
I thought of something. Oh, right, Qu Mingzhu's child.
But wasn’t that black boy burned to death by the villagers of Hongxiang Village just a few months after he was born? What is that child-shaped thing in the corpse gas light ball now
I was a little surprised!
But the next moment, the ball of corpse gas suddenly shattered in the flames.
Then, blood stains appeared all over the baby-shaped thing. A black shadow appeared in the blood mist.
Then the figure flew towards Qu Mingzhu. The thing was black, but my divine eye told me that it was actually a ghost doll.
That’s right, it’s a ghost doll!
I remember that a ghost doll was introduced in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes.
There are many ways to create a ghost doll. The most sinister way is to collect the three souls and seven spirits of the baby and feed them in the corpse qi. With the corpse qi as nutrients, the ghost doll will slowly form itself.
One's own flesh.
However, the ghost doll that appeared in the flesh no longer belonged to the world of the living or the world of the dead because of the corpse qi. It was an existence between the world of the living and the world of the dead, and was not under the jurisdiction of the two worlds of the living and the dead.
However, the ghost doll in front of him obviously had not yet formed a complete body. But its soul had already turned into a ghost, and was contaminated with a lot of corpse gas, turning into a ghost doll.
I wondered how Qu Mingzhu could get enough corpse qi from the yellow water. It turned out that she had raised a ghost doll, which had the purest corpse qi in its body. The ghost doll would inject the corpse qi into Qu Mingzhu's insect body.
“Ahhh!”
The ghost doll cried and fell on Qu Mingzhu.
Qu Mingzhu had no hands, so she used her head to gently nudge the ghost doll's body.
Her ferocious face slowly returned to calm, and a hint of kindness actually appeared in her eyes.
"Hei'er, don't cry, don't cry, it's not your mother who wants to hurt you, it's that guy, they disturbed you..."
Qu Mingzhu's voice became more intimate at this time.
The ghost doll's sharp claws hugged the back of Qu Mingzhu's neck, and it closed its eyes as if it was asleep. It stopped crying, and its soul's head rested on Qu Mingzhu's ghost head.
From my angle, it seems very weird.
I discovered that the ghost doll was not sleeping, but was absorbing the corpse qi from Qu Mingzhu's insect body. The ghost doll's mouth opened slightly, revealing rows of tiny, sharp teeth, and it bit Qu Mingzhu's neck directly.
Even though Qu Mingzhu's head is a ghost's, the ghost doll can still bite it.
And I noticed that Qu Mingzhu did not resist.
According to the Yin Yang Ferry Notes, the ghost dolls raised would absolutely respect the orders of their masters and would not dare to disobey them in the slightest. But now the ghost dolls were actually hurting Qu Mingzhu.
This is a bit unbelievable, unless Qu Mingzhu volunteered.
Right in front of me, under Qu Mingzhu's gentle gaze, the ghost doll quickly absorbed the corpse energy from her body.
Qu Mingzhu's corpse worm began to shrink little by little. Its huge body just now became much smaller in just a few minutes, just like a broken football.
The corpse qi on Qu Mingzhu's body was disappearing quickly.
She raised her head slightly, looked at me, and said, "Taoist, I don't want to be your enemy anymore. I just want to see my child resurrected. I just want to save him. Everything I do is for him. He is now absorbing the corpse qi in my body. When my corpse qi is completely absorbed, maybe he will be able to have a physical body and become a ghost doll."
"I beg you, don't hurt him, I am willing to exchange my life for his..."
The corpse qi on Qu Mingzhu's body was sucked away, and her voice became much softer.
I understand now. The ghost doll is Qu Mingzhu's child. Qu Mingzhu wants to use the corpse qi to raise the ghost doll into a ghost doll with a physical body.
But now the "corpse energy" of the ghost doll was broken by the fire I released.
That's why the ghost doll appeared. But the ghost doll has not yet completed its transformation, and it still needs a lot of corpse qi to maintain its vitality. So in order to save her child, the ghost doll, Qu Mingzhu ordered the ghost doll to devour the corpse qi on her body.
In other words, this is a case of "one life for another life". Qu Mingzhu wants to use his own insect body to exchange for the ghost doll's survival.
Thinking of this, and watching Qu Mingzhu's insect body shrinking faster and faster, I felt complicated.
For the ghost doll, Qu Mingzhu's love is a maternal love. Although Qu Mingzhu is no longer human, this kind of love that dares to give still makes me admire and move.
