My eyes rolled around in my sockets, and I nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll try and see if I can help you get rid of the ghost marks in your body."
The little black ghost grinned and said, "It should be possible. The energy carried by your golden finger is very powerful and can destroy the composition of the ghost pattern."
As he spoke, ghost energy emerged from the body of the little black ghost, enveloping his body. Soon, his hands and feet retracted into his body, and he turned into a small ghost monument.
It’s just that its black face still appears on the ghost monument, like a vivid relief.
"Okay, I'm ready to start. As long as you help me seal the ghost pattern in my Yin body and help me get rid of the ghost monument, I will tell you why the ghost fairy left me here. This may involve a big secret, I believe you will be interested."
I squinted my eyes and looked at the evil little black man.
I was wondering why the ghost immortal left the ghost tablet here to suppress this space channel. However, I couldn't figure it out. As for this ghost, if it didn't have the effect of the ghost pattern, its own ability would be very limited and it would not be my opponent.
"Okay, in that case, let's get started. But you have to tell me what I need to do."
The little black ghost nodded with satisfaction and said, "It's very simple. You just need to use your golden finger to transfer that strange energy into the ghost monument. I will use the ghost energy to drive that energy to destroy some of the ghost patterns in the ghost body."
I nodded, then raised my hand and gently placed my fingers on the ghost monument. At the same time, the "spirit" was transferred to my fingers, and I recited the spell of "Golden Spirit Technique".
Soon, the index finger of my right hand became as golden as if it was coated with a layer of gold foil.
At this moment, the ghost monument suddenly trembled, and then the ghost patterns seemed to try to break free from the ghost monument, constantly twisting and deforming on the ghost monument, trying to get out.
The face of the little black ghost was also affected by the ghost pattern, becoming distorted and hideous, and its ink-black eyeballs emitted bits of black light.
"Hurry up, transfer that energy, otherwise I won't be able to restrain those ghost patterns!"
The little black ghost shouted in a dry voice.
I knew that this was a critical moment, so I quickly transferred the "spirit" gathered on the golden finger into the ghost monument.
Oddly enough, after the "spirit" entered the ghost monument, the ghost patterns on the ghost monument actually dimmed a lot.
Then, under my perception, I discovered that the "spirit" was constantly flowing into the ghost pattern lines on the ghost monument.
During this period, I could feel a cold ghostly aura constantly pushing those "spirits" towards the ghost patterns.
Soon, the nearest tiny ghost pattern was contaminated with "spirit".
As soon as the "spirit" touched the ghost pattern, it made a "sizzling" sound, just like cold water meeting hot oil, the sound was quite harsh.
In less than a breath, the small ghost pattern was wiped out by the "spirit".
However, although that bit of ghost pattern was erased, most of that bit of "spirit" was also consumed.
This made me frown. I still have a lot of "spirit" in my body, but if I pour it all into the ghost monument to wear away those ghost patterns, I'm afraid it won't be enough. In the end, the "spirit" in my body will be exhausted.
"No, this ghost pattern is too evil. It consumes too much energy, and I don't have much energy left in my body." I said loudly.
The face of the little black ghost was still ferocious. He said in a weird tone: "It's okay, Taoist priest
, as long as you consume a little more of that energy, and let the ghost energy in my Yin body restrain those ghost patterns, I will have a chance to seal the ghost monument. At that time, I will be able to escape. "
"Now listen to me and try your best to inject all the strange energy in your body into the ghost monument. Don't worry, I won't harm you. Your strange energy should not come out of nothing. I believe you must have a way to get it again."
"Besides, you are a Taoist priest who catches ghosts, and you still have the aura of good deeds, so even if I come out, I will not be your opponent, and I will not harm you, you can rest assured about this."
This little black ghost knows exactly what I'm thinking.
Indeed, I held back just now for the sake of defense. Now I still have a lot of "spirits" in my body.
Seeing this, I gritted my teeth and made a decision in my heart.
In this case, I will do my best to help it.
At this time, more than a minute had passed. Even though the "Golden Spirit Technique" consumed a huge amount of "spirit", I couldn't delay that long.
If the "Golden Spirit Technique" disappears, my fingers will directly touch the ghost monument and will definitely be eroded by the ghost energy and ghost patterns.
So I didn't think too much about it. I chanted a spell and used the energy of Yin De to gather all the "spirit" in my body onto the golden finger, and then quickly injected the "spirit" into the ghost monument through the golden finger.
A large number of "spirits" entered the ghost monument. Driven by the ghost energy of the evil spirits themselves, the "spirits" seemed to be unstoppable.
Soon, the ghost patterns were wiped out one by one and turned into ghost energy.
And all the ghost energy actually entered the mouth of the emerging little black ghost.
The little black ghost assisted me in using the "spirit" to erase the ghost patterns, while controlling the ghost energy to form new ghost patterns to erode the old ghost patterns.
The new ghost patterns were like swimming water snakes, roaming freely on the ghost monument. Soon, many ghost patterns erased the old ghost patterns under the influence of the new ghost patterns and my "spirit".
Soon, nearly half of the old ghost patterns on the ghost monument had disappeared.
"It's almost there, it's almost there! ... I can already feel that I will soon be able to control this ghost monument."
The little black ghost said excitedly.
Its mouth, which appeared on the ghost monument, opened slightly, and it continued to inhale the ghost energy emitted from the ghost patterns. The ghost energy was like smoke, drilling into its yin body.
As time passed, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on my forehead. My mental strength seemed to be affected by the loss of my "spirit", and I felt weak and tired.
When the last bit of "spirit" on my golden finger was completely consumed, I quickly retracted the golden finger.
At the same time, the energy of good deeds surged from my feet, and I took powerful steps and retreated backwards.
In a flash, I appeared a few meters away.
At this time, the ghost monument did not have the same terrifying black halo as before.
After the "spirit" was transferred, most of the ghost patterns on the ghost monument had disappeared.
At this time, the ghost monument kept shaking, like a trembling old man.
"Ah! I'm finally coming out, I'm finally coming out. Hahaha, I'm free!..."
The little black ghost let out a happy cry.
Immediately afterwards, ray of ghostly aura suddenly emanated from the ghost monument.
Those ghostly auras suddenly formed a huge new ghost pattern.
After the ghost pattern appeared, it flashed with a cold light and pounced towards the ghost pattern on the ghost monument.
Soon, the new ghost pattern covered the old ghost pattern.
I noticed,
The old ghost patterns on the ghost monument suddenly stopped moving at this moment, as if they were dead.
With a "whoosh" sound, a whirlwind rose out of nowhere.
Then a black shadow struggled, pulling its long tail, and broke away from the ghost monument.
The black shadow was the Yin body of the little black man. Previously, its Yin body had been trapped in the ghost monument and could only reveal its shape through the ghost monument, but at this time, it had successfully escaped.
However, although it was separated, some incomplete ghost patterns still appeared on the chest of the little black man. But those ghost patterns were not aggressive and had become dormant, sealed by new ghost patterns.
The little black ghost appeared in front of me. It seemed very excited and thanked me: "Thank you, Taoist priest. I finally got out. By the way, what's your name?"
I looked at the little black ghost and said, "My name is Yang Tianyi, and I'm a Taoist priest who catches ghosts."
"Okay, then I'll call you Taoist Yang."
I naturally have no objection.
Looking at the ghost monument standing there quietly without any fluctuations, I frowned slightly and asked the little black ghost: "Why is there no ghost energy fluctuation on the ghost monument?"
Unexpectedly, the little black ghost smiled smugly and said, "Of course not, because all the ghost energy left by the ghost fairy carving the ghost pattern was absorbed into my Yin body."
"There are still some ghost patterns left on my body. I have used ghost magic to temporarily seal them up. It won't be long before I can eliminate them on my own. By then, the ghost energy generated by the old ghost patterns will become a part of me."
"I have been fused with those ghost patterns and ghost energy for many years. They can help me increase my strength and will not reject me."
So that's how it is. I sensed the strength of this evil spirit.
I was horrified to find that the little black ghost who had been so weak before now actually possessed the strength equivalent to that of an evil ghost.
This is really incredible.
Seeing me staring at it intently, the little black ghost chuckled and said, "Master Yang, don't you want to know why the ghost monument was brought here by the ghost fairy and suppressed here? I can tell you now."
"In fact, the reason why the ghost immortal left the ghost monument here is to block the Yin and Yang, to prevent some powerful people in the Yang world from exploring the situation in the City of the Dead. This space channel is connected to the City of the Dead. If I am not wrong, the ghost immortal should be brewing a big conspiracy."
"Planning a conspiracy? ... What conspiracy?"
The more I listened to the little black ghost, the more confused I became.
But the little black ghost shook his head and said, "I don't know that either. I'm afraid only the ghost fairy himself knows. However, the ghost monument is suppressed here for another purpose, which is to stabilize this space channel so that it will not collapse under the erosion of the Yang energy in the Yang world."
Stabilize this space
What does this mean? I still don't know.
At this time, I was like a monk who was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.
However, I have learned about the "Wrongful Death City" in the Yin-Yang Gambling Soul Notes, which said that it is a "City of Death" that exists in another space, called "Wrongful Death City", also known as the City of Ghosts. If some lonely ghosts in the world of the living do not want to go to the underworld, they may enter the Wrongful Death City by chance.
It can be said that the City of the Dead is a world of ghosts.
I had learned about the Wrongful Death City from the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes, and I thought it was incredible. I thought there was no such place, but I didn't expect there was such a space for ghosts to live in. This is even more amazing than the Fengdu City in the underworld.
The Fengdu City in the underworld is still managed by ghost officials, but the City of the Dead is completely controlled by ghosts.
