My mind moved, but the magic sword in my hand did not fall.
The female ghost's eyes were filled with fear.
I put away my magic sword and said lightly, "Ghost girl, I can spare your life, but you must cooperate with me."
Although the female ghost didn't understand what I meant, she knew that I would not kill her ghost, so she compromised immediately and said, "Okay, okay, little brother, no, Taoist priest, as long as you let me go, I can cooperate with you and do anything."
When she said the latter sentence, the female ghost winked at me.
Damn it, this is obviously teasing me, but I'm not interested in female ghosts.
The female ghost's soul stabilized. She raised her hand and waved it towards the corpse in front of her. A round white corpse ball fell into her ghost hand.
Then, the female ghost opened her mouth slightly and swallowed the corpse pill into her stomach.
As the corpse pill was swallowed, the ghost energy on the female ghost became much stronger. A corpse ghost is a corpse ghost, and it actually swallowed the corpse pill directly. You know, the corpse pill contains a lot of evil energy. After a normal ghost swallows the corpse pill, its soul body may be blown up and turned into ashes.
However, female ghosts who are corpse ghosts are able to devour corpse pills.
"call!"
After swallowing the corpse pill, the female ghost slowly exhaled and explained softly, "Now that I have swallowed the corpse pill, my soul can stay outside. Otherwise, once our corpse evil spirits leave the body, it will not be easy for them to survive."
At this time, a black shadow flew towards us from a distance, and I sensed that it was the Yin spirit Xiao Hei.
Xiao Hei's spirit flew to my side and said, "Master, I have killed that little ghost!"
I nodded approvingly to the ghost Xiao Hei.
Then, I looked at the ghost girl and said, "I think you have heard clearly what I just said. As long as you cooperate with us, not only will I not harm you, I can also give you a chance to leave the City of the Dead and send you to the underworld for reincarnation."
After hearing what I said, the ghost face of the female ghost Huang Yueying revealed uncontrollable excitement.
"Master, are you telling the truth? Are you serious? As long as I cooperate with you, will you send me to the underworld to reincarnate?"
I put the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword into the cloth bag and said in a pretentious manner, "Of course it's real. You've already figured it out. I'm a ghost-catching Taoist priest. Since I'm a ghost-catching Taoist priest, I can communicate with yin and yang."
Huang Yueying nodded and said quickly: "Yes, yes, the Taoist priest is right!"
Then she raised her head slightly and asked me carefully: "I don't know, Taoist priest, how do you want me to cooperate with you?"
I asked her directly: "Huang Yueying, how long have you been in this City of the Dead?"
Huang Yueying did not hesitate and replied: "Master, I have lived in the City of the Dead for eight years. When I came here, I was just a little ghost, and later I was bullied by many ghosts. Later, in order to stop being bullied, I took over a corpse and raised my own ghost into a corpse ghost."
"It was not long ago that a corpse ball was born in my body. My ghost changed from a little ghost to an evil ghost."
Huang Yueying wanted to talk about her own affairs, but I quickly interrupted her: "Okay, don't talk about your affairs for now... Let me ask you, how much do you know about the City of the Dead?"
When Huang Yueying saw me staring at her, she lowered her head slightly.
She was like a little girl, avoiding my gaze, clutching the corner of her clothes with both hands, and said timidly: "Master, I know the City of the Dead very well. I have been to every village in the City of the Dead, as well as the Mountain of Ten Thousand Ghosts. Are you looking for something? If so, I can help you find it."
Although she said that, I really don't believe that she would be willing to help me find someone.
I said, "I'm not looking for something, I'm looking for someone. But I don't need your help.
I'll find it. I'll find it myself. That's all."
The female ghost Huang Yueying reacted quickly. When she heard that I was looking for someone, she immediately raised her head.
She looked at me with ghostly eyes and asked tremblingly: "Master, you said you were looking for someone... You are not here to look for that Jiang Jiuzhen, are you?"
She was right indeed.
I didn't shy away from answering and said, "Yes, I'm here to find Jiang Jiuzhen. Why, do you know where he is?"
Unexpectedly, after hearing what I said, the ghost Huang Yueying's expression turned horrified. She stammered, "Master, you guys really...really came to find Jiang Jiuzhen! But, don't you know that Jiang Jiuzhen has offended the ghost fairy!?"
"And as far as I know, Jiang Jiuzhen is also a Taoist priest, and he killed two ghost kings, which has aroused the anger of the ghost immortals. But I don't know where Jiang Jiuzhen is. The passage between the City of the Dead and the world of the living has been blocked for a long time, so Jiang Jiuzhen should still be inside the City of the Dead."
I learned from the Yin spirit Xiaohei that Jiang Jiuzhen had offended the ghost fairy.
But I just heard about him killing two ghost kings.
Seeing that my expression didn't change much, the female ghost Huang Yueying immediately understood that we already knew that Jiang Jiuzhen was being pursued by the ghost fairy.
But a hint of doubt appeared in her eyes.
I understood her confusion, so I explained, "Don't worry, although the passage between the living world and the City of the Dead is blocked, I still have a way to leave. You can rest assured about that."
After hearing what I said, the uneasiness on the female ghost's face disappeared, and she showed a little joy.
After pondering for a moment, the female ghost said, "Master, although I don't know where Jiang Jiuzhen is, maybe there is a ghost who knows. I can take you to find him."
I narrowed my eyes slightly, stared at the female ghost and asked, "What's the name of the ghost you're talking about?"
The female ghost said respectfully: "The ghost's name is Ma Sanpo, and he is an evil ghost. But although he is only an evil ghost, he is the godson of the ghost fairy 'Wu Gen Gui'. He knows some secrets of the City of Wrongful Death."
"I think he might know some information about Jiang Jiuzhen."
"In the past few years, it was Ma Sanpo who had been leading the ghost guards in the Wrongful Death City to capture Jiang Jiuzhen."
I see.
If that's the case, the ghost named Ma Sanpo might really know some news about Jiang Jiuzhen, but he might not know everything. If he knew everything, I'm afraid that Ma Sanpo would have already caught my master Jiang Jiuzhen, and there would be no need to post things like notices everywhere.
After thinking for a while, I made up my mind and said to the ghost Huang Yueying, "Okay, since you said that the evil ghost Ma Sanpo knows something about Jiang Jiuzhen, then you can take us to find Ma Sanpo."
"If I can really find Jiang Jiuzhen by then, don't worry, I will definitely take you away from the City of the Dead. I will never break my promise."
The ghost Huang Yueying showed a look of joy on her face, and she said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, Taoist priest, I will take you there right away. There is no difference between day and night in this Wrongful Death City. We can go look for that Ma Sanpo now."
"That Ma Sanpo is not a good guy. He relied on the fact that he was the godson of the ghost fairy to act arrogantly and abused many female ghosts who mistakenly entered the City of the Dead."
"That guy's favorite place to hang out is the Purple Moon Tower. As far as I know, he goes there every day to hang out. We can intercept him halfway."
A ghost robbed on the road
This method is really... good!
I nodded to the ghost girl Huang Yueying and said, "Okay, since we are now in a cooperative relationship, I will speak frankly."
The female ghost Huang Yueying looked at me suspiciously.
My voice became heavy as I continued, "I need to put a rune mark into your soul.
If you have evil intentions, I, Yang Tianyi, will naturally take you away from the City of the Dead. If you have evil intentions and want to harm us, I'm sorry, I can activate the rune mark to kill you at any time."
"And don't even think about removing the rune mark I've placed. Doing so will only bring you trouble, and it might even burn your soul to ashes."
My words scared the female ghost Huang Yuexin.
Her soul body trembled, and her ghost face showed displeasure and worry.
"Master Yang, can you please not do this? I really want to cooperate with you. But you treat me like this, which makes me feel embarrassed. It's obvious that you don't trust me..."
I ignored her and the good energy in my body was released, forming a powerful pressure that descended upon the soul of the female ghost Huang Yueying.
I asked directly: "Huang Yueying, are you willing or not? You should know that you are now in my hands. If you say you don't want to, I'm sorry, not only will I not take you away from the City of the Dead, I will also kill you immediately!"
My voice was sinister and my eyes were cold.
The ghost Huang Yueying grunted for a long time, but finally nodded and agreed, saying timidly: "Okay, Taoist Yang, I promise you, I will let you leave the rune mark in my soul!"
Hearing her say this, I curled my lips and thought, I give you a chance because I think highly of you.
Then, I took a step forward without hesitation and went to the female ghost Huang Yueying.
At the same time, I bit the middle finger of my right hand and used the bloody middle finger to carve a talisman to ward off evil on a piece of yellow paper.
After the evil-suppressing rune was carved, I raised my voice to the ghost girl Huang Yueying and said, "Wait, when the rune enters your soul, it may be a little painful. Don't worry, it's only for a moment and it won't hurt your soul."
In addition to worry, there was also a little loneliness in her eyes. The female ghost Huang Yueying nodded.
Maybe in her heart she felt that I controlled her and she had to be driven by me.
But she doesn't know me, I'm not that kind of person.
After the evil-suppressing talisman was drawn, I raised my hand to activate it.
The talisman was activated by the energy of Yin De and turned into yellow lines that separated from the talisman.
As I chanted the spell, the runes gathered together and instantly flowed towards the center of Huang Yueying's soul.
Huang Yueying had closed her eyes and her face looked uneasy.
"ah!"
With a slight cry, Huang Yueying's face became a little distorted.
But in just a moment, her face returned to normal and she opened her eyes.
The yellow light transformed from the evil-suppressing talisman has disappeared, and is imprinted in the spirit of the female ghost Huang Yueying.
When the rune was first branded, she felt a little stinging pain, but at this moment, the evil-suppressing rune could no longer be sensed in her soul.
Only I, a ghost-catching Taoist priest who has laid down talismans to suppress evil, can sense it.
And as long as I am willing, I can recite the spell to activate the evil-suppressing talisman, and the evil-suppressing talisman in the soul of the female ghost Huang Yueying will instantly turn into yang fire, burning Huang Yueying's soul into nothingness until she is reduced to ashes.
The ghost Xiao Hei, who was hanging on the side, had a look of fear on his face. You know, if I wanted to control him, I could have placed a talisman to suppress evil in his spirit, but I didn't. Instead, I signed a soul contract with him.
This is much better for the evil spirit Xiao Hei than placing talismans to suppress evil in his spirit body.
The look of respect on the face of the little black ghost became even more intense.
The female ghost Huang Yueying could not sense the evil-suppressing talisman, but she knew how terrifying it was, so she was extremely respectful to me.
"Master Yang, from now on, I will obey your words. Since you want to find that evil ghost Ma Sanpo to ask about Jiang Jiuzhen, I will take you to Laoya Mountain now. Ma Sanpo comes to the 'Purple Moon Tower' almost every day, and Laoya Mountain is a place he must pass by."
