It was the shadow of a female ghost, and judging from the ghostly aura emanating from her, she was an evil ghost.
The evil ghost was suspended there, and besides the eerie ghostly aura, it actually emitted a little green light. That light was very similar to the color of the ghost fire, and it kept jumping around her soul.
I stared at her face and found that it was completely unrecognizable, with black spots all over it, just like a burnt potato pulled out of a fire.
Her eyes were lifeless, like shriveled winter dates, embedded in the hollow eye sockets.
My heart sank, and I knew it was a "burning ghost".
A burning ghost, also known as a burned ghost, is simply a ghost that was burned to death in his lifetime and holds resentment.
This kind of ghost is extremely fierce and full of resentment. Her main means of attack is the flickering will-o'-the-wisp flame on her body.
Will-o'-the-wisp is often very hot and can easily burn people.
Perhaps she noticed that I was looking at her, the Burning Ghost's mouth slightly opened, revealing an ugly smile. Her teeth were very long and pitch black, as if they were covered with charcoal. But I knew that those were the marks that would only appear after being burned by a fierce fire.
It was her apparition before her death.
These are all introduced in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes.
Seeing my face darken and my eyes staring coldly at the entrance, Sun Xiaoli turned his eyes and asked me softly, "Brother Tianyi, are you okay? Why do you look even uglier than before?"
I looked away and looked at Sun Xiaoli, revealing an ugly smile: "Really?"
"Yes, look at your face, it's almost as cold as ice!"
I didn't want to scare Sun Xiaoli, so I didn't mention the burning ghost.
I took out a talisman blessed by the energy of good deeds and "spirit" from my body and put it in Sun Xiaoli's hand.
"What is this for?"
Fiddling with the amulet in his hand, Sun Xiaoli asked in confusion.
I shook my head and said, "It's okay. This is a talisman. You've seen it before. Keep it with you. It can ward off some unnecessary dangers."
When Sun Xiaoli heard what I said, she actually laughed and stuffed the amulet into her underwear.
She's acting weird at this time and I really can't do anything about it.
When my gaze shifted towards the entrance again, I was horrified to find that the flaming ghost had disappeared.
This made my heart skip a beat.
I hurriedly shouted towards Ding Yuan and the other two policemen, "Brother Ding, come here, come to my side."
Ding Yuan asked, "What's wrong? We haven't collected all the evidence yet? We're almost there!"
The other two policemen also looked at me in confusion.
I didn't want to scare them, so I quickly said, "It's okay, just come over here first, I have something for you."
"Okay, we'll be there soon."
Ding Yuan and the two policemen responded.
But just as Ding Yuan and the two policemen were walking towards me, I noticed that a shadow appeared behind one of the policemen.
The shadow gradually grew thicker, and a dark ghostly aura emanated from it. It was the blazing ghost.
The Burning Ghost placed his hands on the policeman's shoulders, and stretched out his green tongue, licking the policeman's cheeks and nose continuously.
The sticky, black liquid flowed down the policeman's face, which looked a bit disgusting.
Moreover, Yang energy was continuously sucked away from the policeman's nostrils, turning into gray gas and entering the burning ghost's mouth.
“A-choo!”
The policeman sneezed violently. His face was rosy at first, but now it had turned blue and a little gloomy.
My heart was in my throat.
I was afraid that the burning ghost would attack the policeman and draw the will-o'-the-wisp to the policeman.
If that happens, I'm afraid it will be too late to save people.
I prayed silently in my heart, hoping that the Burning Ghost would not take action.
Fortunately, the burning ghost did not release the will-o'-the-wisp immediately.
Soon, Ding Yuan came up to me with two other policemen.
I deliberately turned my eyes away from the policeman with the blazing ghost on his back, so as not to alert the enemy.
"Brother Tianyi, what are you going to give us?" Ding Yuan asked curiously.
I took out three amulets directly from the cloth bag and handed them to Ding Yuan and the other two policemen respectively.
When the policeman with the Blazing Ghost on his back took the amulet, his body suddenly trembled. Then, the amulet suddenly broke free from his hand, turned into a beam of fire, and flew behind him.
When the burning ghost saw the flames coming towards her, she immediately shook her body and flew off the policeman's body.
At the same time, a ball of will-o'-the-wisp fire suddenly released from her soul and rushed towards the flames.
With a "puff" sound, the two balls of fire collided with each other, and sparks flew and smoke billowed.
Soon, the amulet's flame disappeared along with the will-o'-the-wisp.
The incident happened too suddenly. The flash of fire frightened Ding Yuan and the other two policemen.
The policeman who had just carried the Blazing Ghost had never seen anything like this before. He trembled and asked in shock, "What's going on? Master Yang, why is the amulet burning and flying away?"
I quickly stepped forward, grabbed the policeman and pulled him behind me.
Sun Xiaoli had just seen the sudden appearance of the will-o'-the-wisp fire, and asked me anxiously, "Brother Tianyi, could there be a ghost in this place?"
After being pointed out by Sun Xiaoli, I admitted it and said solemnly: "Yes, there is a flaming ghost in this underground space. I just discovered it."
"What? ... There really is a ghost!"
The policeman whose amulet was burned trembled and looked around vigilantly.
I said, "Don't look, you can't see it. If the ghost deliberately hides its soul, ordinary people can't see it."
Then I took out another amulet and handed it to the policeman, admonishing him, "Take it with you. If a ghost approaches, the amulet will attack on its own and drive away the ghost."
The policeman hurriedly took the amulet.
Ding Yuan swallowed his saliva and said solemnly: "Brother Tianyi, can you deal with that burning ghost?"
I nodded and said, "Yes! Although the flaming ghost is an evil ghost, it is no match for me. You just need to follow behind me and you will be fine. There is no need to collect evidence now. There is something strange here. Let's leave this place first."
"Well, that's all I can do."
Ding Yuan said this with a hint of regret, and then ordered the other two policemen: "Xiao Huang, Dayue, you all should follow Brother Tianyi closely, and don't let anything go wrong."
"Yes, Captain."
Then, I took Ding Yuan and others towards the entrance.
But the blazing ghost disappeared, and no one knew where it had hidden.
I originally wanted to open my third eye, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed too weird to have the third eye appear on my left hand, and I was afraid it would scare these people, so I decided not to open it for the time being.
But relying solely on my own eyes, I still couldn't send out the flaming ghost.
That ghost is very good at hiding her soul. Even with my eyes full of "spirits", I couldn't find her.
We quickened our pace and soon the five of us arrived at the entrance, where there was a little light.
But when I looked up, I found something wrong.
With my "spiritual" eyes, I discovered that a layer of light film appeared at the entrance.
The light film is very thin and has ripples on it, like the surface of water.
There were traces of ghostly energy on the light film, which was obviously the result of the burning
The ghosts were placed here.
"Brother Tianyi, come on, let's go up." Ding Yuan was also afraid of something happening, so he urged.
I shook my head and said, "No, this is not the exit."
"It's not an exit? ... There's light outside, how can it not be an exit!"
The policeman following at the back said in confusion.
I didn't explain and took out the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword from the cloth bag.
My fingers gathered the energy of good deeds and the "spirit" and touched the hilt of the sword. Then, the seven spots of light on the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword, arranged according to the "Big Dipper", were lit up.
I whispered, "Go!"
Then, I pointed my sword at the light film above my head, and a red light rushed towards the light curtain.
“Sizzle, sizzle!”
The red light collided with the light film, making a harsh sound.
Then there was a muffled "puff" sound, and the light gate disappeared.
When the light film disappeared, the light above the light film disappeared completely. Instead, there was a dark layer of soil above our heads, and there was no entrance.
At this time, a new exit appeared in the east, and white light shone from there.
"Really? This... This is incredible. It's actually not an exit."
The policeman named Xiao Yue had a look of shock on his face, and the flesh on his cheeks was trembling.
"Let's go and take a look to the east."
I said this and headed east with four people.
But when I got there, I found that there was a little light in the east. A light film appeared again.
This made me frown, but in the end I released a strong energy of Yin De and destroyed the light film.
With a "puff" sound, the light film disappeared.
Then, the light above disappeared, and was replaced by a dark layer of soil.
"This... is not the exit yet. It seems... that ghost is causing trouble again!" Policeman Xiao Wang said nervously.
I thought about it, looked at Ding Yuan and the others, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Ding, I am going to open my third eye. I hope you won't be scared later."
Ding Yuan seemed very calm and said, "It's okay, Tianyi, open your 'Sky Eye'. I know you are a ghost-catching Taoist priest, and you are different from ordinary people like us. It's understandable that something strange happened to you."
Ding Yuan’s words gave me comfort.
Then, my Yin De Qi and "Spirit" gathered in the palm of my left hand, and I chanted the eye spell softly, and shouted in a low voice: "Open!"
Suddenly, the palm of my left hand glowed, followed by a flash of white light.
Previously, the light of the third eye was green, but later, after the injection of "spirit", it changed and turned into a white eyeball.
I slowly raised my hand, and in my palm, an eye was already open, and the eyeball was the color of porcelain white.
"Is this the Eye of Heaven? Oh my God, this is too... too scary. There is no black at all, it's all white, just like the eyes of zombies in zombie movies."
The person who spoke was the policeman Xiao Huang, and it was also behind him that the flaming ghost had appeared earlier.
Sun Xiaoli let go of my hand, his shoulders trembling slightly, and he said in a trembling voice: "Brother Tianyi, your method is too special. If this is revealed to the outside world, people outside will definitely think you are a monster. You are almost like Erlang Shen. This is the third eye."
I smiled and said, "Although this 'Sky Eye' looks scary, it actually works quite well. It is very useful to me."
Without further conversation, I moved my left hand behind me.
Soon, through the Sky Eye, I discovered that the north was the entrance we had come from before, and the rest of the place was filled with ghostly energy. It was a trick.
