We, one person, one spirit and one ghost, are on guard around us.
Soon, I finished checking the situation on the first floor.
There was no ghost smell on the first floor, not at all. Could it be that the ghost was on the second floor? But the ghost girl Huang Yueying had checked the second floor before, and she said that the second floor was very empty, with only a small tripod.
Thinking of this, in order to confirm it, I told the ghost Xiao Hei to stay on the first floor to guard against sneak attacks by ghosts, and also to protect Uncle Sun.
I took the female ghost Huang Yueying to the second floor.
There is a wooden staircase leading from the first floor to the second floor. The staircase is already very dilapidated, and many of the wooden boards seem to be unable to withstand people walking on them, making a "squeaking" sound, as if they will collapse at any time.
I went up to the second floor very carefully.
The scene on the second floor was clear at a glance. It was indeed as the female ghost Huang Yueying said, with only the floor and a small tripod in the center of the second floor.
There was a lot of dust on the floor. When I first went up, I raised the dust and the smell was very pungent.
I took out a lucky charm from my cloth bag.
The Shunfeng Talisman was infused with the energy of Yin De and instantly lit up with yellow light.
With a flick of his hand, the wind talisman flew out, forming a gust of wind that was not very strong.
The area covered by the strong wind is still relatively large.
The strong wind blew, and the dust rolled toward the window on the second floor. Because the window was not blocked, the dust spread out of the building along the window.
After the dust was blown away by the strong wind, I walked towards the small tripod.
Since the small tripod was placed in the center of the second floor, there might be something fishy going on in it.
Soon, I went to Xiaoding.
It was a bronze tripod, about the size of a small stove, with copper patterns painted on it. The inside of the tripod was filled with incense ash and thick and thin incense sticks.
The surface of some incense sticks has changed and turned green.
This is because moisture has entered the second floor, causing this phenomenon.
I walked around the bronze tripod, knocking and hitting it with the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword in my hand, but I didn't find anything wrong. I concentrated my mental power and sensed it carefully.
This bronze tripod is just an ordinary bronze tripod, no different.
You have to know that my soul has been nourished by the seven-colored Yin snake gall beads I swallowed earlier, and the perception it has generated is more than three times stronger. If my soul was still the same as when I entered the small building just now, I really couldn't sense the ghost's peeping.
"Master Yang, did you find anything wrong?"
The female ghost Huang Yueying looked around vigilantly and asked me.
I shook my head and frowned, "I haven't found it yet. However, I am sure that there must be a powerful ghost in this small building. The ghost secretly spied on us before. If I hadn't sensed it in time, I'm afraid he would have attacked us by surprise."
When the ghost Huang Yueying heard what I said, a surprised expression appeared on her face: "Master Yang, is that ghost really that powerful?"
I nodded and said, "Very impressive! How can a ghost with such a strong ability to hide its ghost energy and soul be just an ordinary little ghost? If I am not wrong, that ghost has reached the level of a ghost king."
"A ghost at the level of a ghost king?"
The female ghost Huang Yueying once again showed a look of astonishment.
I didn't say anything else, just squinted my eyes and looked around.
Finally, my nerves moved and I seemed to catch something.
I didn't give up and continued checking.
Finally, my eyes fell on the wooden board above the bronze tripod.
Seeing me staring at the wooden board, the ghost Huang Yueying asked in confusion, "What's wrong? Did you find the ghost?"
I nodded, thought about it, then asked the female ghost Huang Yueying to step back. I picked up the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword in my hand and chopped at the wooden board above my head.
“Crack!
"With a sound, the rotten wooden board was cut off by me.
Unexpectedly, as the wooden board was cut off, a red ghost thing with ghost energy wrapped around it quickly flew out from it and shot towards me.
I didn't hesitate and shouted, "How dare you!"
Immediately, my Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword was activated and glowed red.
My magic sword directly cut on the ghost thing.
The ghost thing was hit by the magic sword and flew backwards instantly, and the ghost energy on it dimmed a little.
I looked at the thing clearly and it turned out to be a small red flag.
The small flag itself is a ghost weapon, but it can control itself, which means that there is a ghost king-level existence hidden in the ghost flag.
The ghost weapon flag flew backwards, fell to the ground, trembled twice, and was about to fly out from the window of the small building next to it.
I hurriedly stepped on the Seven Star Steps, rushed forward, took out a soul-calming talisman in my hand, and threw it at the ghost weapon flag.
The soul-calming talisman turned into a yellow light and shadow. When the ghost weapon flag was about to fly out of the window, the soul-calming talisman was instantly stuck on it.
Xiaoqi's ghostly aura suddenly subsided and he fell to the ground.
But the small ghost flag that fell to the ground couldn't stop shaking and tried to break free.
Ghostly energy seeped out from the ghost flag, and many of the runes on the soul-calming talisman had disappeared due to the corrosion of the ghostly energy.
Seeing this, I hurriedly walked over and slapped the ghost weapon flag with my hand. A strong energy of good deeds mixed with a lot of "spirits" was injected into the ghost weapon flag.
The ghost weapon flag immediately became obedient and stayed on the ground motionless.
I walked up, took out a brush and cinnabar water from my cloth bag, and started painting on the small flag.
After a while, the ghost energy on the small flag was completely suppressed, and then a ghost face emerged from the small flag.
When the ghost saw me, he hurriedly said, "Master, stop! Master, stop, don't hurt me..."
The ghost face had a horrified expression on it, and judging from the ghost energy seeping out of his mouth, he was the ghost king who was spying on us. But vaguely, his strength seemed to be much stronger than that of the ghost king.
But if he is the Ghost King, why would he be subdued by me? Even the Ghost Weapon Flag may not be able to restrain him.
I couldn't help but frown, staring at the ghost face on the small flag.
The small flag is red, with a jagged fire cloud pattern on the corners.
The color of the small flag was like the color of blood, making the ghost face look even more eerie.
"Who are you?"
I stared at the ghost face with a cold gaze and asked in a stern voice.
The ghost face said hurriedly: "I am a ghost king in this 'Nether Luo Ghost Flag'. I am responsible for the ghost formation in the ghost flag to kill the enemy. But, Taoist priest, don't worry, my soul can't get out. I can only separate one soul to go outside."
"Then why are you hiding here? Where is your master?"
I looked at the ghost face and continued to ask questions.
The ghost face said without hesitation: "My master was killed by the ghost fairy Jiemie Guimie, and I took the opportunity to escape."
If one can use the Ghost King as the main ghost of a ghost weapon, then the owner of this ghost flag must be quite powerful.
What surprised me was that Gui Lian actually mentioned a ghost fairy called Jiemie Gui.
There is only one ghost fairy in the Wrongful Death City, so why is there another ghost of extinction now? !
I asked again: "Tell me, what does that silent ghost do?"
After hearing what I said, Ghost Face was horrified and said in a trembling voice, "Master, why are you asking this? Are you going to send me back to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Ghosts? If so, you might as well kill me. I will never go to the Mountain of Ten Thousand Ghosts."
"That ghost of annihilation is not
What a good thing. He will definitely kill me."
I thought about it and said to Ghost Face coldly, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you. I am a person from the mortal world, as you can see. Now the Ghost Immortal Wugengui in the Wrongful Death City is hunting us, so the Ghost Immortal Wugengui and I are opposites. I will not hand you over."
My words eased the tense look on Ghostface's face a little.
He looked at me with a sad face, and then he said, "Master, I will not hide it from you. My master is actually Wugen Ghost. It was Jiemie Ghost who killed my master Wugen Ghost. The ghost immortal Wugen Ghost who now controls the Wrongful Death City is actually Jiemie Ghost in disguise."
"My master is the real ghost immortal Wugenggui. That ghost immortal Jiemie ghost killed my master and secretly occupied the Wrongful Death City."
I couldn't help being surprised by what Ghost Face said.
The ghost immortal Wugengui who was ruling the Wrongful Death City at the moment was actually a fake, and was pretended to be another ghost immortal. This was really unexpected.
When the female ghost Huang Yueying heard this, a look of surprise also appeared on her face.
"I didn't expect it to be like this, this is unbelievable!" said the female ghost Huang Yueying in shock.
I didn't respond to the ghost Huang Yueying's words, and continued to ask the ghost face in the ghost flag: "You said that your master was a rootless ghost, and was killed by the ghost of extinction. Later, the ghost of extinction occupied the city of the dead. Right."
Ghostface nodded.
"Then how can you prove that what you said is true? Also, you said that your master was killed, so what is the relationship between your master and that ghost of extinction? Why is there a conflict between them?"
The ghost face grinned when I asked it, but when it saw that I was staring at it seriously, it didn't dare to look up. There was an expression of great worry on the ghost face.
It thought for a moment and said, "Master, I, I, I cannot prove that what I said is true. Because I, I am the proof. When that Jiemie ghost killed my master, I was on the Ten Thousand Ghosts Mountain. I saw it with my own eyes."
The ghost face was right, so I didn't make things difficult for it.
After a cold snort, I said solemnly, "Well, then you don't need to prove it. Tell me, what is going on between the ghost immortal Jiemie Ghost and the rootless ghost? Why did the Jiemie Ghost pretend to be the rootless ghost?"
When Gui Lian heard me say that he didn't need to prove it himself, he hurriedly thanked me.
Afterwards he told me about the ghost immortals, the silent ghost and the rootless ghost.
It turns out that the Ghost of Destruction and the Ghost of No Root are brothers. At the beginning, after the Ghost of No Root became a ghost fairy, he became the master of the entire Wrongful Death City. In those years, the Ghost of No Root had always ruled the Wrongful Death City.
Unexpectedly, later on, the Ghost of Desolation also achieved the status of a Ghost Immortal. After becoming a Ghost Immortal, the Ghost of Desolation began to covet the right to rule the City of Wrongful Death, but the Rootless Ghost was the ruler of the City of Wrongful Death, and if he wanted to rule the City of Wrongful Death, he had to kill the Ghost Immortal Rootless Ghost.
So the Ghost of Destruction planned step by step, and finally created trouble for the Ghost Immortal Wugenggui when he was practicing ghost arts. Because of that trouble, the Ghost Immortal Wugenggui's strength was damaged. It was because the Wugenggui's strength was damaged that the Ghost Immortal Destruction Ghost released his Ghost Immortal cultivation and took the opportunity to kill the Ghost Immortal Wugenggui.
In addition, the ghost face in the Hades Ghost Flag told me one thing, that is, the Silence Ghost was not only plotting to rule over the City of the Dead, he was also planning something even bigger - he wanted to control the City of the Dead by refining the "Gate of All Evil" and connect with the world of the living.
If that were the case, all the ghosts in the City of the Dead would be able to enter the world of the living.
These are what the ghost face in the "Ghost Flag of Hell" said. But I still have doubts about his words. There is a space passage in the City of Wrongful Death that can lead to the world of the living, so why must we sacrifice to the "Gate of All Evil"
I expressed my doubts.
