The eyes of the little black ghost rolled around, staring at Liu Deshui unkindly, and asked coldly: "What if I say no?"
Liu Deshui barely hesitated, his smiling face immediately turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "If you say no, then I'm sorry. As a ghost-catching Taoist priest, I have the right to open the Yin-Yang Road and send you to the underworld. When you go to the underworld, how those ghost officials treat you is not up to me."
Unexpectedly, after hearing what Liu Deshui said, the little black ghost said hurriedly: "Okay, I promise you, I am willing to be a ghost with the same fate as Taoist Yang."
Liu Deshui smiled knowingly at the little black ghost, not caring at all about the disgusted look in his eyes.
Waving at me, Liu Deshui said loudly: "Come here, Tianyi, drop your blood into this guy's Yin body and sign a soul contract. From now on, it will be your little follower."
As Liu Deshui spoke, he took out a brush, cinnabar water, and talismans from his cloth bag.
In front of me and the little black ghost, Liu Deshui drew up the soul contract.
He raised his hand, and the soul contract appeared in front of the little black ghost.
Liu Deshui said with a smile: "Take a look at the terms of this soul contract. Are you satisfied with it?"
The little black ghost snorted coldly. Although he was unhappy, he still took the soul contract and took a look at it.
After a while it said reluctantly: "Okay, just do as it says."
Then, the little black ghost's black little hand dipped into cinnabar water and pressed down on the soul contract.
I didn't say anything, but walked up to the little black ghost, dipped my thumb in cinnabar water, and pressed my fingerprint on the soul contract.
After both parties signed the soul contract, I found that there was a vague connection between me and the little black ghost, as if I could sense its thoughts.
At this moment, the little black ghost felt a little reluctant and annoyed.
Liu Deshui ignored all this and just raised his hand and burned the soul contract in front of me and the little black ghost.
The soul contract was burned and turned into yellow light, which penetrated into my body and the body of the little black ghost respectively.
Before long, the connection between us became more and more apparent.
But there is one last step, which is to drip my essence and blood into the body of the little black ghost.
Then, I slowly pierced my middle finger with a silver needle, went to the front of the little black ghost, and dripped blood on the top of the little black ghost's head.
When the blood dripped into its vagina, the little black man's vagina trembled slightly, but it recovered quickly.
When it opened its eyes, its black little eyeballs seemed to have a lot more spirituality.
"Master Yang, no, Master, I will follow you from now on!"
The little black ghost knew that it would be difficult to escape my control after signing the soul contract, so it immediately became well-behaved. It flew to my side and approached me obediently.
I said to it with a smile: "Little Black Man, from now on, I will call you Little Black Man."
The little black ghost said respectfully: "Okay, let's call him 'Xiao Hei'. Although I don't like this name, it's easy to pronounce, so it's okay."
Damn it, it’s still not satisfied.
I smiled and didn't pay any attention to what it said.
At this time, the old ghost slowly flew to my side and asked cautiously: "Master Yang, the ghost tablet has been sealed, and the ghosts inside have become your subordinates. Do you think it is better to let it unlock the ghost tablet and let us ghosts leave?"
I looked at Liu Deshui, who nodded to me, but then said, "I can let you go, but you are ghosts, you cannot stay in the world of the living, you can only go to the underworld."
The old ghost was very happy when he heard this.
Yang, but the ghosts on the stairs were somewhat unwilling.
"Masters, I don't want to go to the underworld. I want to stay in the world of the living. I still have things to do. I want to stay in the world of the living for a few more days."
"Yes, two masters, please be kind and have mercy on us. Although we are ghosts, we also have obsessions in our hearts. If we were not drawn to this place by the ghost monument after death, how could we be imprisoned here?"
For a while, the ghosts wanted everything, and most of them were unwilling to go to the underworld.
When Liu Deshui heard this, his face turned gloomy.
He faced the ghosts on the stairs and shouted angrily, "What do you mean by obsession? What do you mean by wanting to stay in the world of the living and thank the living for the rest of your life? You still have the nerve to say that. Look at you, you all have a bit of death energy around you, which means you have either harmed people or killed ghosts of your own kind."
"Whether human or ghost, they are all living beings. You are stained with death, so I will not allow you to stay in the world of the living. If you stay in the world of the living, you will only do evil. Even if some of you have obsessions in your hearts, so what? Obsessions can be big or small. Even if you solve them, you will be at peace in your hearts, right?!"
"And there are so many of you ghosts, there are not a small number of them. If they really bring disaster to the world, it will definitely cause serious consequences. Although Yang Tianyi and I are ghost-catching Taoist priests, we cannot afford such consequences."
"So, you must go to Hades."
"However, when you go to the underworld, Master Yang and I will each write a petition talisman for you. At that time, if you really have obsessions in your hearts and have not committed any sins, you can ask the judge for help. At that time, with the petition talisman, I believe the judge will give you a chance."
After saying that, Liu Deshui ignored the ghosts, went to the stairs, and removed the "Bagua Formation".
The ghosts were a little hesitant at first, but it was obvious that the old ghost was very important among the ghosts.
He said loudly, "Everyone, we are ghosts now. It is not good for us to stay in the world of the living for a long time. It is our blessing that the two masters can help us to break free from the imprisonment."
“Although some of you want to stay in the world of the living, it is very troublesome. So in order not to cause trouble to the two masters, I advise you to be at ease. Just like Master Liu said, if you really have obsessions, you can go to the underworld to appeal. At that time, the officials in the underworld will naturally give you a chance for the sake of the two masters.”
At this point, the old ghost hesitated for a moment, and then said in a deep voice: "Besides, even if you want to stay in the world of the living, can you go against the wishes of the two masters? Including me, no one is a match for the two masters, so you'd better think clearly before doing anything, otherwise you will end up with your souls scattered and the gain will outweigh the loss."
The old ghost's words made the ghosts tremble, and then many ghosts said that they were willing to go to the underworld.
Those unwilling ghosts lowered their heads obediently when Liu Deshui and I looked at them.
"Haha, isn't that good? Now we will draw a petition talisman for you and send you away." Liu Deshui smiled as he drew a petition talisman on yellow paper.
I nodded, took out a brush, drew the petition talisman on the talisman, and wrote some words on it.
Soon, two petition talismans appeared in our hands.
At this time, hundreds of ghosts gathered in front of the stairs.
I said to the ghost Xiao Hei, "Okay, go and open the ban now. If any ghosts try to escape, seal this place with the ban and make them stay here forever."
"Yes, Master."
The ghost Xiao Hei agreed respectfully.
Then, its lips trembled slightly, and it muttered a ghost curse.
With his eyes closed, the Yin body slowly flew into the blue light film.
Soon, it entered the ghost monument in the space channel.
The ghost Xiao Hei said to me: "Master, the restriction has been lifted."
I said, "Okay, you stay inside the ghost monument first and monitor those ghosts. When Master Liu and I take all these ghosts to the underworld, you can come out and leave with me."
"Yes, Master."
The ban was lifted, and the cold and gloomy atmosphere in the haunted building seemed to have weakened a lot in an instant.
Because those ghosts just heard what I said, they were watching each other, fearing that if one ghost escaped, I would order the Yin Ling Xiao Hei to imprison them here again.
Liu Deshui also sensed the changes in the haunted building and asked me softly, "How is it? Tianyi, has the ban been lifted?"
I nodded and said, "It's lifted. We can open the Yin-Yang Road now."
"good!"
Afterwards, Master Liu and I started the Yin-Yang Road together.
On the west wall of the staircase landing, a smooth, bright white path slowly emerged.
In the white light, small black dots are rushing to the underworld. They are other ghosts or souls.
Liu Deshui raised his hand and was about to call those ghosts into the underworld, but I hurriedly stopped him and said, "Master Liu, wait, I am a little worried about so many ghosts going to the underworld together. Please wait a moment, I will call the ghost messenger to lead the way."
After hearing what I said, Liu Deshui stared at me in surprise and asked, "What did you say, call a ghost messenger?"
I smiled and nodded, saying, "That's right, let's find a ghost messenger. A few days ago, I just met a friend who happens to be a ghost messenger from the underworld. He should be able to help."
Liu Deshui smacked his lips and praised: "You are really popular. You actually know the ghost messenger."
I smiled when I heard this and thought, I not only know the ghost messenger, I also know the head of the underworld's offering pavilion, Magu, and the mischievous ghost Duoduo, who is the child of a big shot in the underworld. I know them all.
However, I didn't say it out loud for fear of shocking Liu Deshui.
Then, I took a step forward and stood in front of Yin Yang Road, shaking the soul-catching bell in my hand, and shouted towards Yin Yang Road: "Lu Xin, Lu Xin!"
After shouting a few times, soon a black figure slowly came towards us from the end of Yin Yang Road at a very fast speed.
Not long after, the ghost messenger Lu Xin, who had a slightly ugly appearance and a flat nose, appeared in the Yin-Yang Road.
"Hey, brother, you're the one calling me. I was wondering why your voice sounded so familiar."
Lu Xin said with a smile.
But when he saw the ghosts in the corridor, his face suddenly changed and he exclaimed: "Oh my God, how come so many ghosts appeared here all of a sudden? Brother, are you in trouble?"
I shook my head and said, "No, no, no, it's not a problem. These ghosts are trapped here. Now they want to go to the underworld. Isn't this just right? You're working on the Yin-Yang Road, and I thought of you. So, I asked you to come out."
"Hehe, big brother is still on my side. These ghosts must have a lot of money."
Lu Xin meant to get some ghost pills or something like that from these ghosts.
I rolled my eyes and said, "They should have quite a few ghost pills, but you have to help me successfully extradite them to the underworld."
Lu Xin said with a smile: "Don't worry, big brother, leave this matter to me."
Afterwards, I handed the petition talisman that Master Liu and I had drawn to Lu Xin, and told him, "Here, this is the petition talisman. Please also give it to the judge for me. The situation above has been clearly stated. As for how the judge decides, that is his business."
"Okay, okay, don't worry, big brother, I promise to get this done."
After saying that, Lu Xin looked at those ghosts with his cunning little eyes.
