Chapter 430: Ghost City in the Sand Sea

Looking at the countless ghosts walking through the entire square, Chen Ziyang felt a chill all over his body. This was the first time he had seen so many ghosts, and fortunately these ghosts did not attack him like those black shadows in the ancient tomb before, otherwise, he would not have been able to run out even if he had eight legs.

Although the bodies of these ghosts below the head are all black shadows, the facial expressions of these ghosts are relatively rich, which are much more vivid than those ghosts that Chen Ziyang saw in the ruins of the palace before, and it is very likely that this is related to the fact that these ghosts are relatively close to the diamond.

Recalling the ghosts he saw when he ran all the way before, Chen Ziyang found that it seemed that the closer he was to this diamond, the more ghosts appeared, and the current diamond was flashing with black light, and the movements of these ghosts were more natural, so he felt that these ghosts should have been released from the diamond.

The ghosts in the square are so vivid that they completely subvert Chen Ziyang's concept of ghosts, if it weren't for the fact that the bodies of these ghosts are black shadows, he might have thought that these are all living people.

The movements of these ghosts in the square are also diverse, and their movements are not as rigid as the ghosts that Chen Ziyang saw in the ruins of the palace before, but are very natural.

On a relatively wide road on one side of the square, a row of these shadow ghosts stood neatly, standing or sitting, constantly making movements, and Chen Ziyang found that these ghosts should be some small traders.

Some of the ghosts are waving their hands as if to chase away the flies on the shelves, while others are constantly pointing in front of them, as if they are bargaining with others.

There was also a ghost lying there quietly, with Erlang's legs crossed and his hands under his head as pillows, and it seemed that the vendor was not doing a good business, that he was not doing his job properly, or that he was lazy.

Although there was nothing around these ghosts, Chen Ziyang felt that he could deduce from the actions of these ghosts that these ghosts were selling something. Now he no longer has that creepy feeling, and instead has the tranquility of being in a marketplace.

Before Chen Ziyang could finish reading all these small vendors, suddenly several children's ghosts lined up and ran in front of him. These children all showed innocent smiles on their faces, and they were running hard, as if they were chasing each other, playing a game of chasing, and the ghosts of these children attracted Chen Ziyang's attention.

As his gaze flicked, he was suddenly caught by a ghost standing near the altar where the diamonds were placed. Just by glancing at the corner of his eye, Chen Ziyang Yang found that this ghost was very different.

The side of this ghost was facing Chen Ziyang, standing there quietly and motionless, exuding a trace of an aura that was incompatible with the surrounding ghosts. Although there were many ghosts in the entire square, and many of them were silent and motionless, this ghost still attracted Chen Ziyang. Because he noticed that the ghost's face was different from the other ghosts.

So far, all the ghosts that Chen Ziyang has seen look like half-breeds, which may have something to do with the previous geographical location of this place, and the people who lived here may have looked like this.

But now the ghost in front of Chen Ziyang looks like a 100% Asian, and its appearance does not have the characteristics of a foreigner at all.

Because there was no way to see the front of this ghost, Chen Ziyang quietly walked over and slowly turned to the front of this ghost to take a closer look. Seeing this, Chen Ziyang was even more determined to think that this ghost was indeed very different from other ghosts.

Although the ghost's body from the neck down was also covered in black shadows, Chen Ziyang found that compared to the very natural ghosts around him, the ghost in front of him was very melancholy.

slapped his head violently, Chen Ziyang reacted, and it was at this moment that he knew the identity of the ghost in front of him. This ghost should be the ghost of Lao Lu's apprentice!

Lao Lu once told Chen Ziyang that one of the things he couldn't rest assured about was that his apprentice died in vain in the ancient tomb, and later Lao Lu's apprentice once gave him a dream, saying that his soul had been sucked into the diamond and trapped inside, and he couldn't get out, and there was no way to reincarnate.

Therefore, the thing that Lao Lu begged Chen Ziyang to do was to put away the bones of his apprentice, get the diamond, and bury the two together, so that the soul of the apprentice could rest in peace.

When listening to Lao Lu's words before, Chen Ziyang felt that Lao Lu might have missed his apprentice too much, coupled with the deep relationship between him and his apprentice, the combination of the two made Lao Lu miss his apprentice sickly, so he had this thought.

But the moment he saw this ghost, Chen Ziyang knew that it was very likely that Lao Lu did not have the dream because he missed his apprentice, but that it was indeed his apprentice's ghost who gave Lao Lu a dream.

"Can you see me? Can you hear what I'm saying? Chen Ziyang asked in a low voice at the ghost of Old Lu's apprentice, although he guessed that this ghost couldn't see or hear himself at all, but he still asked this stupid question.

Seeing that the ghost standing in front of him was unmoved, Chen Ziyang scratched his head and became happy. It seems that this time he may fulfill Lao Lu's last wish.

Although it was said that because of the intervention of Instructor Liu and others, there was no way for him to get the bones of the old Lu apprentice who was still lying in the ancient tomb, but the ghost in front of him solved all the problems.

As long as you put away the ghost of Lao Lu's apprentice, wait until you go back, set up a magic altar, overtake the ghost, and let it rush to Elysium, you will be considered to have fulfilled Lao Lu's last wish, and you can be regarded as returning Lao Lu's favor to save his life.

Although the bones of Lao Lu's apprentice may not be able to be obtained by himself, the bones of people are already indifferent after death. After death, the soul is separated from the body, and the body becomes a stinky skin, and as long as the soul is liberated, it doesn't matter whether the bones can be obtained or not.

But because he thought that these ghosts were trapped in diamonds, Chen Ziyang was not completely sure that he would be able to collect the souls standing in front of him. He turned to look at the diamond that was glowing black, and he didn't know what caused the diamond to release the souls.

After the diamond was placed on the altar, a gust of wind blew from the altar and blew out the ruins of the ancient city. But after that, the diamond did not react, even if Chen Ziyang placed the diamond on the altar again, there was still no change, and I don't know what caused all this.

Because I am worried that I will have a lot of dreams at night, I may not know when these ghosts will be put away by diamonds, and at that time, I will not know how to release these ghosts, and I may miss the current opportunity.

Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang hurriedly took out a blank rune paper from his body, and after biting his middle finger, he drew a soul-attracting talisman with his Daoist blood on the rune paper.

Holding the spirit rune in front of the ghost of the old Lu apprentice, Chen Ziyang turned his wrist and played a set of tricks for using the soul attraction service talisman, and then he quickly pasted the spirit rune to the forehead of the old Lu apprentice's ghost. When this spirit rune had just touched the forehead of Old Lu's apprentice, through the feeling coming from his hand, Chen Ziyang knew that the spirit rune had worked.

Because his Five Emperor Qian and Righteous Qi Spirit Talisman had not played a role in the soul of the chef in the palace ruins, Chen Ziyang was afraid that his Soul Attraction Talisman would still have no effect.

However, feeling the surge of mana on the spirit rune, Chen Ziyang knew that what he was worried about had not happened, and it seemed that the soul of Old Lu's apprentice could be put away by himself.

With the flow of mana on the spirit rune, he saw that the head of the soul of the old Lu apprentice gradually blurred, and then the entire head of the soul slowly blurred, turning into a white mist. The white mist was slowly sucked into the talisman.

Seeing that the favor he owed was about to be repaid, Chen Ziyang couldn't help but be happy, but before he could show the smile on his face, suddenly Chen Ziyang felt a pulling force from the spirit talisman in his hand, and this pulling force was resisting the suction of his soul attraction talisman, as if he wanted to pull the soul of Lao Lu's apprentice away from his hands.

Noticing that the black shadow below the neck of Old Lu's soul had become slower, and at the same time, there was a sign of condensation. He knew that this strange pull was trying to keep his soul intact.

Thinking of the source of this pulling force, Chen Ziyang turned his head to look at the diamond placed above the altar, not knowing if it was his illusion or if it was the truth, Chen Ziyang found that the speed of the diamond's flashing black light seemed to have accelerated a little.

"This is terrible, isn't it possible that this diamond doesn't want me to take this soul away!" Thinking of this, Chen Ziyang quickly bit the tip of his tongue, and a mouthful of blood sprayed onto the back of the spirit rune on his right hand.

After the blood on the tip of his tongue was sprayed onto the spirit rune, Chen Ziyang felt that the pulling force coming from the spirit rune had weakened a little. And the body of Lao Lu's apprentice's soul also showed signs of atomization. But before he could be happy, Chen Ziyang saw that the diamond was shining with black light.

It was at this time that the pulling force suddenly increased, and part of the black mist that had just been atomized by the soul of Old Lu's apprentice actually gathered on the soul's body again.

Chen Ziyang was in a hurry at this time, he hurriedly shook his shoulder, shook his backpack off his right shoulder, and at the same time he put his foot into the backpack and hooked the soul suppression paperweight out of the bag with his toes.

Immediately afterwards, Chen Ziyang stepped on a corner of the Soul Suppression Paperweight, making the Soul Suppression Paperweight lift up a little. At the same time, he vigorously hooked his toes, kicking the soul-calming paperweight high.

The Soul Suppression Paperweight was kicked into the air between the soul of the old Lu apprentice and the diamond by Chen Ziyang, and just when the Soul Suppression Paperweight was just kicked between the two, suddenly a loud noise came from the Soul Suppression Paperweight, and with this loud noise, Chen Ziyang felt that the pulling force suddenly disappeared. The soul of Lao Lu's apprentice instantly atomized, and a large amount of black mist was sucked into the spirit rune in his right hand.

Because this suction disappeared too suddenly, Chen Ziyang, who was caught off guard, was almost flashed. However, seeing that the soul of Old Apprentice Lu had been completely put away by himself, he breathed a sigh of relief, and finally lived up to his trust.

Carefully folding the talisman paper containing the soul of the old Lu apprentice, Chen Ziyang picked up the soul-calming paperweight that had fallen on the ground and looked at the diamond. At this point, the speed at which the diamond shimmered black had returned to the same speed as before. After turning around and looking at the souls around him who were still the same as before, and had no intention of threatening himself, Chen Ziyang was completely relieved.

Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven. Now that everything I can do has been done, and the purpose of my coming here has been achieved, all that remains is to resign myself to fate and continue to study the treasures of this ancient country.

Because the battle with the diamond just now consumed a lot of Chen Ziyang's mana, he felt a little tired. Although it was still the middle of the night, and there were still several hours before his expected rest time, Chen Ziyang decided to stop here tonight.

Although he really wanted to cherish this opportunity and carefully study this diamond and the souls around him, after all, his physical strength no longer allowed it.

In the absence of food, Chen Ziyang can still distinguish between the important and the important, even if he has studied everything clearly, but he has lost his life here, so what's the point.

After reluctantly looking at the diamond and the surrounding souls again, Chen Ziyang walked to his resting place.

During this time on the road, he was still carefully observing the spirits around him. Looking at the movements of these souls similar to living people, the feeling of loneliness that had been permeating Chen Ziyang's heart for the past few days disappeared.

"It's nice to have someone with you, although these are not people, but after all, I am not so lonely anymore." Chen Ziyang, who had a smile on the corner of his mouth, slowly walked to the mouth of the alley where he was resting.

At this time, there are three souls playing there at the mouth of this alley. Because he had already arrived at his resting place, Chen Ziyang was not in a hurry, he stared at the three souls with great interest.

The three souls looked like fourteen or fifteen-year-old children, and the three children were taking turns throwing at the end of the alley where they slept.

Whenever one child finished throwing, the other two children either clapped their hands together or pointed to the end of the alley and laughed.

The strange behavior of the three children made Chen Ziyang scratch his head, and he didn't know what the three ghosts were doing. Turning his head to look at where he was sleeping, his eyes widened.
