"Okay, let's get out of here without further ado."
Then, I took the cloth bag, the evil ghost Zhang Junzi took the tracking stone, and the two of us ghosts rushed to the right rear of the bamboo forest hut.
Behind the bamboo hut on the right, there is a small bamboo forest. Inside the bamboo forest, there are a lot of stones piled up in a regular pattern. The stones are grayish white in color, with strange patterns carved on them.
After arriving there, the evil ghost Zhang Junzi used the ghost energy to activate a ghost formation.
That ghost formation was created by the patterns on the gray stones. It was a teleportation ghost formation. Zhang Junzi said that this teleportation ghost formation could teleport us outside the bamboo forest.
After a moment, we stood inside the circular ghost formation. Yin energy surged all around, and the cold wind formed by the Yin energy was swirling around.
On the ground, the scattered bamboo leaves were rolled up, making a rustling sound.
Soon, we could no longer see the bamboo forest in front of us, and the cold wind was still howling around us. It was a bit cold inside the ghost formation, so I released the energy of Yin De to help Uncle Sun resist the cold energy.
There was no light inside the teleportation ghost array, and it became dark.
But soon, I touched something hard and soft under my feet.
I lowered my head slightly and saw that I was standing on a soft bamboo leaf. Then, Uncle Sun, the human-skin ghost Su Congxue, and the evil ghost Zhang Junzi all appeared beside me.
We are already outside the bamboo forest, but still very close to it.
My perception had been greatly enhanced before, so I was able to sense the ghostly aura in the bamboo forest.
In the bamboo forest, ghosts were moving around, and the ghostly aura was overwhelming. The ghost in the front had an extremely strong ghostly aura on his soul. Needless to say, those four ghosts were the four ghost kings mentioned by the evil ghost Zhang Junzi.
The four ghost kings were leading the ghost guards towards the bamboo hut.
"Hurry up and leave. Don't stay here any longer, otherwise it will be difficult if you encounter those ghost kings." I reminded.
Without hesitation, we hurriedly ran away.
The direction chosen is naturally the direction of Blood Cloud Mountain.
What we didn't notice was that just after we left the location where the ghost teleportation array was sent, a faint ghost shadow slowly emerged next to the bushes of a tree.
That's a little devil.
If I were here, I would recognize that it was an illusionary ghost.
Although it is difficult for a phantom ghost to become an evil ghost, this kind of ghost can hide its soul very well. Moreover, the soul of a phantom ghost can also turn into a small point of light and blend into the evil spirit.
Of course, if the phantom ghost wants to, it can slowly piece together its own soul.
This kind of ghost is extremely difficult to detect.
This is why I didn't detect the phantom ghost when I released my perception just now.
But after Uncle Sun and I appeared here, the Yang energy in my body leaked out because I started talking.
The phantom ghost stared at the direction we left with dull eyes for a while. Then a bright light appeared in its eyes, and it muttered to itself: "Those two people are actually from the mortal world. People from the mortal world... They are the people from the mortal world that the ghost kings were looking for earlier."
The phantom ghost, realizing this, turned into a ball of ghost energy and rushed towards the bamboo hut.
Damn it, this guy is going to tip off the enemy. If I were here, I would kill him without hesitation.
It is beyond doubt that not all ghosts have good intentions.
Of course, we don't know about the appearance of the phantom ghost.
At this time, Uncle Sun and I were moving forward quickly under the guidance of the human-skin ghost and the evil ghost Zhang Junzi.
Because we are afraid of encountering those little ghosts or evil ghosts who are causing trouble, we try our best to avoid the roads and villages in the City of the Dead.
However, this
This slowed down our progress quite a bit.
But even so, we still encountered some ghosts in the City of the Dead. After all, there are many ghosts in the City of the Dead.
After encountering the ghosts, I did not take action. It was the human-skin ghost Su Congxue and the evil ghost Zhang Junzi who took action.
It took us several hours to walk like this.
Uncle Sun's health improved with the tonic and he became much stronger. He didn't drag us down along the way.
Just as we were wading through the "Dark River" in the City of the Dead, a giant fish suddenly jumped out of the river.
The big fish was a ghost beast with sharp bone spurs all over its body.
Each bone spur is like a thick, long cone.
"Uncle Sun, be careful!"
Seeing the big fish with its mouth full of sharp teeth biting towards Uncle Sun, I quickly urged the energy of Yin De under my feet and rushed towards Uncle Sun.
The water in Yin River is not deep, but people will feel suddenly cold when they are in it.
When he heard my voice and looked back at the big fish, Uncle Sun's face showed a look of shock. He was frightened and stood there in a daze, his body trembling.
There was still some distance between me and Uncle Sun. In addition, the Yin River water eroded the Yang Qi, so my speed seemed a bit slow.
Fortunately, Su Congxue, the human-skin ghost floating above the water of Yin River, took action in time. Her ghost hand grew longer, wrapped around Uncle Sun, and dragged him to her side.
The evil ghost Zhang Junzi floated beside me and said in a startled voice: "Oh no, Taoist Yang, this is a poisonous eel silverfish. This kind of fish drinks the cold water in the Yin River all year round and has turned into a ghost beast."
"And judging from the size of this poisonous eel, it should be an adult. The ghost energy on it gives me the feeling that it has surpassed that of ordinary evil ghosts and may have reached the level of a ghost king."
The Yin River is not wide, so I solemnly told the human-skin ghost, "Miss Su, I'm sorry to bother you. Please use up some of your ghost energy and take Uncle Sun across the river first. This poisonous eel and silverfish is blocking us, so I have to kill it first."
The human-skin ghost nodded and released the ghost energy in his soul.
Her ghost hand circled Uncle Sun's waist and took Uncle Sun to fly to the other side of the Yin River. Although ghosts can hold objects, they are ghosts after all, so it is difficult for them to hold up heavier objects.
It is said in the Yin-Yang Soul Crossing Notes that an ordinary brick seen by people on earth is equivalent to a huge stone weighing several hundred kilograms in the eyes of ghosts.
So after the human-skin ghost laboriously led Uncle Sun across the Yin River, most of the ghost energy in her soul had already been consumed.
After crossing the Yin River, the human-skin ghost did not return, but began to absorb the evil energy in the air and transform it into ghost energy.
Although the poisonous eel silverfish wanted to devour Uncle Sun's flesh and blood, it could only live in the Yin River. Seeing Uncle Sun being brought ashore by the human-skin ghost, it could only stare blankly.
However, soon, the poisonous eel silverfish dived back into the Yin River and swam towards me and the evil ghost Zhang Junzi.
The surface of the water appeared with ripples as if it was gently cut by a knife.
"Oh no, Taoist Priest Yang, that poisonous eel is coming. What should we do? Its teeth are poisonous, and the bone spurs on its body can also emit lightning. That kind of lightning is extremely harmful to our ghosts' souls."
A panicked expression appeared on the face of the evil ghost Zhang Junzi.
I frowned and said to the evil ghost Zhang Junzi: "Stay away from me first, I will deal with this big guy."
Then, I took out the Mingluo Ghost Flag from the cloth bag.
A ghost face slowly emerged on the Mingluo ghost flag.
He stared at me with a smile and asked respectfully, "Master, are you in trouble?"
This ghost face has been introduced before. He is the ghost king in the Mingluo ghost flag, responsible for controlling the ghost formation inside the ghost flag.
Looking at the ghost face in the Nether Luo Ghost Flag, I snorted coldly and said unhappily, "I met
It's troublesome. But if you were not blind, you should be able to see it. "
The ghost face chuckled sinisterly a few times.
I then said to him in a deep voice: "Ghost Face, you are imprisoned by me now. If you don't obey me, I will destroy this Nether Luo Ghost Flag, and then you will perish along with the Ghost Flag. I don't think this is what you want."
The ghost king's eyes turned cold and he said unhappily, "Master, are you threatening me?"
I said coldly, "Yes, I am threatening you. Don't think I don't know. There are many things you know, but you just didn't tell me. I don't trust you."
Before I could finish, the ghost face inside the Nether Ghost Flag said with a smile: "Master, please stop talking. I will listen to you. As long as you take off the soul-soothing talisman on the Nether Ghost Flag, I will help you."
I didn't say much and directly tore off the soul-calming talisman on the Mingluo ghost flag.
Ghost Face obviously didn't expect that I would agree so readily.
He looked at me suspiciously, then controlled the ghost flag to fly towards the poisonous eel and silver fish that were swimming up.
I can sense that Ghost Face's soul has hidden injuries. With my current strength, it is not a problem to kill Ghost Face. So, I am not worried that he will escape. It's just that this is my first time to deal with this kind of ghost beast in the Yin River, so I am not well prepared.
Now we can only see the performance of the ghost face in this Mingluo ghost flag.
I stepped back and retreated to the shallow water.
The Mingluo Ghost Flag had already released its power, and the ghostly aura surrounding it instantly entangled the poisonous eels and silverfish in the Yin River.
Poisonous eels and silver fish kept splashing in the Yin River, splashing water high in all directions.
“Pah, pah!”
The sound of splashing water continued.
The ghost energy released from the Mingluo Ghost Flag was like a pair of ghost hands, tightly wrapping around the poisonous eel and silverfish.
That poisonous eel and silverfish was also very powerful, spraying out streams of venom from time to time.
However, its venom does not cause much harm to the Ghost King in the Mingluo Ghost Flag.
However, the bone spurs on the poisonous eel silverfish can release sparks. The sparks generate electricity, and in just a few moments, the ghost energy that bound the poisonous eel silverfish collapsed.
The ghost energy was sucked away again by the Mingluo Ghost Flag, and then the ghost face's mouth opened slightly.
Immediately afterwards, a ball of red stuff was spit out by the ghost face.
That thing was like red plasticine, very sticky, and it stuck directly to the back of the poisonous eel and silverfish.
The poisonous eel silverfish didn't react much at first, but soon, the red thing quickly drilled into the body of the poisonous eel silverfish like a living worm. Even the silver sparks and electric lights on the poisonous eel silverfish's body could not get rid of the red thing.
"hey-hey--"
The ghost face let out a strange and eerie laugh.
Not long after, the Mingluo ghost flag with a ghost face flew back to my side.
The ghost face said proudly: "Master, the poisonous eel and silver fish is about to die. From now on, we just have to watch the show."
I curled my lips and said with some disdain, "Really?"
The ghost face was still grinning sinisterly, and his ghost eyes were staring at the poisonous eels and silver fish in the Yin River.
Soon, the poisonous eel and silverfish began flapping the water more and more violently, struggling continuously in the cold Yin River water.
In just a few breaths, streaks of ice appeared on the body of the poisonous eel and silver fish.
The ice chips quickly spread over the body of the poisonous eel and silverfish, and in the blink of an eye, the poisonous eel and silverfish were frozen into a bright white piece of frozen fish.
The frozen poisonous eel floated on the surface of the Yin River. Soon, the ghost energy on its body disappeared as if it was sucked away by something, and its body quickly shrank.
Soon, all that was left in the ice was the skin of the poisonous eel, a shriveled fish head, and those silver bone spurs.
