Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Ghoul Ann Ruyue
When I finally escaped from the Inquisition and came to the square outside, I found that there was no quiet figure around, and I wondered in my heart: where did they all run away from where so many followers were here just now?
The blind man suddenly tugged at my sleeve and said with an uneasy expression, "Something seems to be coming!" ”
Hearing the blind man say this, I scanned the square and found no evil or anything like that. However, Ling Qingyao and Lao Xing kept shivering, saying that the temperature here had dropped by several degrees, and it felt like they had fallen into an ice cave.
Seeing the white gas coming out of their mouths, I felt that something was wrong, but my yin and yang eyes didn't find anything strange, and the power ring didn't react.
Maybe it's because my body has developed immunity to yin qi, and for ordinary people like Lao Xing, the yin qi that may cause danger to their lives is just an itch in my boots, and it can even be said to be a good tonic.
"Look, what's that?" The blind man reacted quite quickly, he raised his dragon crutch, pointed to a hole in the ground ten meters in front of us, and said with a pale face.
At that moment, the Ring of Power emitted a burst of red light that almost dizzled me. Looking at the hole in the ground with the help of yin and yang eyes, I couldn't help but be horrified: "What the hell is this? ”
When the Ring of Power glows red, it means that there is an evil in the vicinity; If the red light grows stronger and stronger, so strong that the light pierces the eyes, then it proves that the evil that is about to appear is not trivial, and I am afraid that it is far beyond my ability.
Ling Qingyao hid behind me, her teeth chattering up and down, and I could clearly feel the fear and despair in her.
The blind man sighed, and said with some self-deprecation: "Careless, I don't know where my equipment was hidden by those goddamn bastards." Xiao Fu, everyone is counting on you this time! ”
I swallowed my saliva and said in a solemn tone: "You go first, I'll come to the palace!" ”
"None of you can leave today!"
It's the voice of the demon priest, and I can recognize this guy even if he turns to ashes!
The Demon Priest appeared out of a cloud of black mist, and he was only ten meters away from our position, and at that distance, I could kill him in ten thousand ways.
"Keep your eyes open and look at the perfect masterpiece that I've worked so! Come out, my little baby An Ruyue! The Demon Priest laughed loudly, and although he couldn't see the face hidden under the hood, he could vaguely imagine what a disgusting expression it would be.
The location of the demon priest happened to be next to the cave in the ground, and we all clearly saw that a little girl in white clothes and a cloak slowly crawled out of the cave, and when the guy said the name An Ruyue just now, we were suddenly speechless.
Originally, the main task of coming to the village this time was to rescue An Zhenshuang's daughter An Ruyue from the hands of the Star Picking Society, and the blind man and I also promised An Zhenshuang that we would definitely rescue her daughter. But the world is impermanent, I didn't expect An Ruyue to have encountered an accident, if Dr. An knows about it, how can I explain it to her?
I clenched the Tiangang sword, my chest churning with blood churning, and I only thought about how to kill this beast that was inferior. The demon priest noticed that my mood was very unstable, he took An Ruyue's hand, and said in an extremely obscene tone, "Didn't you want to save her out?" Come, if any of you are tired of living, come and save her! ”
Lao Xing quickly loaded the pistol, aimed at the demon priest, and said indignantly: "Beast, what did you do to Yueyue? ”
The demon priest was scolded by Lao Xing, and he seemed even happier, he stretched out his hand to stroke An Ruyue's flowing black hair, and said with a triumphant smile: "Actually, it's nothing, I just used my genius mind to refine An Ruyue into the world's best monster - 'ghoul'!" ”
Ling Qingyao tugged at my sleeve and asked in a panic, "What is a ghoul?" ”
I turned my head to look at her, my face full of inexplicable fear, and although I kept telling myself not to panic, when I heard the word "ghoul", my powerful heart could no longer calm down.
Three years ago, the blind man and I heard that there was a drought in a certain county in western Yunnan, and we brought all our equipment to that place, only to find that it was not a drought fish at all. I dare to conclude that there is a basis: if it is a drought, we will have enough for him to drink a pot of talisman paper if we greet him, but in the face of that thing, the talisman paper is like toilet paper, and it is useless at all. At that time, the blind man and I did not believe in evil, and took out the ink line to tie him up, and when we flicked the ink line on the thing, he actually tore the ink line and threw us away, and the scene was extremely thrilling.
After the blind man and I relieved ourselves, we pulled out the peach wood sword at the same time and sacrificed the ghost talisman of Sanqing Town, which was the strongest ghost-killing talisman that the blind man had obtained from the head of the Lingqing Zhenren when he was cultivating in Maoshan in the past. I thought to myself that this is the most powerful spell in Maoshan, and no matter how powerful the ghost thing is, it will be difficult to resist. But the development of things was much beyond our expectations, the blind man and I pasted the Sanqing Town Ghost Talisman on the spiritual aperture of that thing at the same time, seeing the sparks of Yin Qi explosion burst out from his head, we thought that the attack worked, but we didn't expect that in the next second, that thing actually raised his hand and tore off the rune paper and tore it into pieces. I have the impression that the blind man and I used all the magic weapons on our bodies, but we were unable to defeat him, and then thanks to a wandering monk who came to the rescue in time and used a spell that we had never heard of, the thing was completely subdued.
I asked the monk, what kind of evil is this, and how can it be so powerful? The self-proclaimed "Wujing" monk explained to us: "This thing is called 'ghouls', and it is an extremely dangerous and terrifying monster. Some evil sorcerers torture people to death and then imprison the souls of the deceased in their bodies with soul stakes. Just imagine, a big living person died tragically, how much resentment is there? If that's all it takes, it's a ghost at best, and it's not too difficult to deal with. But the sorcerer nailed the soul of the deceased to the body, so that the deceased could neither reincarnate nor wander in the yang world, but could only be imprisoned in the body of death forever. ”
"Why do the souls of the dead become ghouls when they are imprisoned in the flesh?" I continued to ask the monk Wujing.
The monk Wujing continued: "The deceased died a tragic death for no reason, and it itself carried a very strong resentment, and the sorcerer imprisoned the soul of the deceased, so that the deceased could not be reincarnated or turned into a powerful ghost to take revenge, and the resentment on his body was naturally stronger. But these conditions alone can't refine ghouls. ”
"What else is needed then?" I asked eagerly.
"Seal the corpse of the deceased in the Yin Pool, where the Yin Qi is very strong, and it is also the kind of murderous place where the Zombie King once appeared. After about 7749 days, the sorcerer lifted the seal and announced the completion of the ghoul. ”
Thinking of this, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in my mind: the monk Wujing said that in order to refine a ghoul, the body of the deceased must be sealed in the Yin Pool where the zombie king has appeared, and it will take forty-nine days to refine it.
But An Ruyue has only been missing for a week now, and the demon priest released her. In my opinion, the ghoul he refined might just be a half-finished product, not even a half-finished product.
If that's the case, then we have at least some hope for life today!
