My eyes blurred and slowly opened, and I safely entered the space channel.
The ghost monument still stood there, with no sign of the previous fluctuations.
Those ghost patterns lingered on it, flashing black light.
I calmed down and gathered the good energy in my body. I took a step and slowly approached the ghost monument.
At the beginning, I walked smoothly, but when I got closer and closer to the ghost monument, I felt a sense of oppression, as if something invisible suddenly fell on me.
I felt as if the flow of my blood had slowed down.
Everything around me seemed to be still, but I could hear the strong and rapid beating of my heart.
“Bang, bang, bang!”
The heart beats like a drum, and the frequency is getting faster and faster.
When I turned my eyes towards the ghost monument, the black light began to become very dazzling.
Suddenly, my eyes felt sore and tears flowed out unconsciously.
I clenched my fists, adding a bit of good will, and took another step forward.
Then, when I was more than one meter away from the ghost monument, which was where Master Liu had been standing before, the good energy in my body suddenly began to be consumed faster.
The cold atmosphere around me suddenly became heavier, just like I was standing naked in the snow at this moment, very cold.
I gritted my teeth and insisted on moving forward.
And in front of me it seemed as if there were invisible air blocks my progress.
The energy was like a knife constantly cutting my face, body, and hands, causing me to feel physical pain in an instant.
Thinking about how Master Liu was before, I guess I’m not much better now.
The Yin De Qi was mobilized by me, and nearly half of the Yin De Qi in my body was covered by it.
Then, I snorted angrily and walked forward.
At this time, the ghost pattern on the ghost monument finally reacted.
As the black light flashed, bright ghost patterns flew out and flew towards my body.
There was ghost energy on the ghost monument, but the ghost energy was obviously not as destructive as the ghost patterns.
After the ghost pattern appeared, it rushed towards me frantically like a wild beast finding its prey.
My body shook, and the energy of good karma gathered in my right hand, activating the Yin-Yang diagram.
The golden light and the yin and yang poles resisted the attack of the ghost pattern.
But I did not slack off, because I knew that if I continued to move forward, there would definitely be more ghost patterns flying out of the ghost monument to attack me.
I stood there and mobilized the good energy in my body.
The appearance of the Yin-Yang diagram is much more powerful than simply condensing the runes on the hands.
However, the amount of Yin De Qi consumed is also huge and unimaginable. I estimate that if I stand there for five minutes, the Yin De Qi in my body will be used up.
After taking a few breaths, I finally decided to move forward.
Damn it, it’s just a ghost monument. I’m going to give it a try and see if I can break this ghost thing.
But sometimes, people should not overestimate themselves.
Just as I took my last step forward and was about a foot away from the ghost monument, there was a sudden bang. The ghost monument trembled violently, and the ghost patterns on it came towards me like sharp nails shot out of a nail gun.
Damn it, let’s do it!
The good energy in my body began to flow faster. At the same time, I gathered the "spirit" that I absorbed from the air into the Yin-Yang diagram.
Because of the entry of the "spirit", the golden light above the Yin-Yang diagram became brighter.
The strangling force formed by the cathode and anode is even more fierce, and there are actually many ghost patterns on the Yin-Yang diagram.
Strangled and rotated, it turned into streaks of ghostly energy and was wiped out.
This made me happy, but I found that the ghost pattern I destroyed was only a small part.
And I noticed that the disappearing ghost patterns were slowly peeling off from the ghost monument.
I understand. As long as I consume or erase those ghost patterns, the power of the ghost monument will weaken.
When I realized this, I was overjoyed.
But there were quite a lot of ghost patterns, probably thousands of them, and it was impossible to deal with them relying solely on the good energy and the little "spirit" I had left.
What should I do? I felt a little anxious.
At this time, I was only a finger's distance away from the ghost monument and was about to touch it.
But it was only the distance of a finger, but it made me feel as if I was thousands or tens of thousands of meters away from it.
My body seemed to be frozen by the cold air and my face was severely distorted.
My teeth chattered, making a "click, click" sound. My blood lost all warmth, and my heart was beating like it was going to jump out of my throat.
No, I can't do this any longer. I have to think of a solution.
It was at this moment that I thought of the spell I had learned earlier.
Although those five spells are not very powerful, they are spells from ancient times. We need to try whether they can destroy this ghost monument.
The five arts include the art of gold spirit, the art of wood spirit, the art of water spirit, the art of fire spirit, and the art of earth spirit.
Thinking of this, I said to myself, never mind, let’s give it a try!
Among the five arts, the only one that is useful to me now is the "Golden Spirit Art".
Then I gathered all the "spirits" in my body into my right hand.
The Yin-Yang diagram on my right hand was suddenly removed by me.
The Yin-Yang diagram was removed, and only the Yin De energy was left to resist.
But the Yin De Qi is no match for those ghost patterns. I feel like my body is about to be torn apart at this moment, and my legs and hands are in great pain.
But I still persist.
My lips moved slightly and I recited the mantra of the Golden Spirit Technique. At this moment, the index finger of my right hand quickly turned golden.
The fingers that turned golden were not blocked by the ghost patterns.
My arm was able to smoothly extend a little further forward.
The golden finger suddenly touched the ghost monument.
Although it was a short time, I felt as if a lot of the "spirit" in my fingers was sucked away by the ghost monument.
When my fingers touched the ghost monument, I clearly felt that something seemed to come alive.
The ghost monument was not very hard and became soft.
Then, when my finger touched it, the ghost monument actually made a sound: "Taoist, thank you!"
Damn, the ghost monument is alive and can talk!
I froze on the spot, my body still leaning forward.
At this time, the ghost patterns in front of me actually retreated back into the ghost monument.
As the ghost patterns entered, the ghost monument began to wriggle rapidly.
Then, a little black man with a nose and eyes appeared in front of me.
This little black man was not very tall, just up to my knees. His face was darker than that of African blacks, even his eyes were completely black.
This kind of ghost looks really scary.
But the black boy clearly had ghost energy on him, which meant he must be a ghost. But even though he was a ghost, there wasn't even a hint of death on him.
This can't help but make me wonder.
The ghost pattern disappeared, and the oppressive feeling around him also disappeared.
I almost fell to the ground like a dog snatching shit.
Seeing my embarrassed look, the little black man actually chuckled sinisterly.
I frowned,
He got up from the ground, but at this moment his body was shaking like a sieve.
"What are you laughing at? Who the hell are you?"
I questioned the little black man in a cold voice.
The little black man glanced at me and said in a sarcastic tone, "I am not a thing. I am a 'ghost' that was born from a ghost monument."
Yin spirit? I know this word.
Yin spirits are also called Yin objects. It is introduced in the Yin-Yang Soul-crossing Notes that some things in the world will develop intelligence under certain circumstances. As the intelligence gradually improves, it can generate "Yin spirits".
For example, if a Buddha statue has been worshipped by worldly people, it will gradually reveal its spiritual wisdom and then a ghost will be born.
For example, a mirror, after a long time, constantly reflects the appearance of others, can give birth to a mirror spirit. Of course, a mirror spirit is also a kind of Yin spirit.
"You are actually a ghost... Unbelievable!" I said in surprise.
The little black boy was still giggling.
I thought about it and asked it: "But how did you get here?"
The little black ghost said, "I was brought here by a ghost fairy to guard this space passage. Originally, I was just a ghost monument. But because I have been here for too long, and there are many ghosts imprisoned within the range of the ghost monument, relying on the ghost energy emitted by the ghosts' souls, I gradually developed spiritual intelligence."
"However, it was only a few years ago that I was able to form a Yin body."
"Originally, those ghost patterns were always inside my body, and I couldn't appear. But today, you killed some of the ghost patterns, and your golden finger, the magical power on it actually woke me up from my slumber. Because of this, I am now appearing."
I see.
However, the ghost fairy mentioned by the little black ghost surprised me greatly.
The ghost immortal is a ghost creature more powerful than the ghost king. The fact that it is associated with the word "immortal" shows that its strength is extraordinary.
There is also an introduction to ghost immortals in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes.
The notes said that ghost immortals were the most fortunate among ghosts. Often, only when the number of people who died tragically reached hundreds of thousands could a ghost immortal be born. Ghost immortals were extremely powerful. When they became ghost immortals, they were indirectly recognized by the underworld and could command all the ghosts.
But I still have a question, that is, why did the ghost immortal let the ghost monument guard here
When I asked this question, the little black ghost actually started giggling again but didn't answer me.
"Why don't you answer me?"
I asked it a little nervously.
Unexpectedly, the little black ghost said: "Taoist, I can answer you. But you have to take me out. I want to leave here."
"Can't you leave here?"
The little black ghost nodded and said, "I can't. That ghost fairy sealed the ghost pattern into my body. Now my body has been restrained by the ghost pattern and I can't move. It's good enough to be like this now."
"oh!"
I nodded and thought to myself, so that's how it is.
After thinking for a while, I said, "Sure. I can help you. But I don't know how to help you."
The little black ghost chuckled and said, "It's very simple. You and I will work together to seal the ghost patterns in my body. Once those ghost patterns are sealed, I will be able to move freely."
"Is it that simple?"
The little black ghost smiled and said, "It sounds simple, but it's probably not easy. However, if you can use the power generated by that golden finger to seal the ghost pattern in my body, I believe it will be much easier."
What the little black ghost didn’t know was that the reason my finger turned golden was because of the effect of the “spirit”.
