Chapter 3: The Strange Ball

In the middle of the scattered skeletons, there was a yellow and white box that looked like jade and stone, and it was wrapped in a yellow seal. Due to the age, the color of the seal has been somewhat gray, and there is a small hole in the interface of the box, and some black gas is leaking from the small mouth.

Deng An only got a little closer, and he felt like a spring breeze, although the temperature underground was very low, and the underground tomb was extremely cold, but he felt more comfortable. He rushed forward without hesitation, wrapped the stone box with his "body", and desperately absorbed it, for fear that these extremely rich yin qi would be a little wasteful.

With a gust of yin wind brought by Deng An, the balance that had been maintained for a long time was broken, and the yellow seal sealing the stone box turned into dust unconsciously. Just when Deng An was stunned, the stone box "clicked", split into two, and rolled out a "round ball".

The reason why this thing is said to be a round ball is because Deng An's knowledge cannot tell what it is, from the outside, it looks like an earth-gray stone bead, and it looks like a big pill covered with dust, however, in the next moment, it also looks like an earth ball with a dull yellow light.

This "ball" is about the size of a baby's fist, and the surface is pitted and slightly uneven, as if it were formed naturally. Even if Deng An doesn't know the goods anymore, he knows that it is a treasure.

Deng An carefully "stared" at the ball, hesitating in his heart. In the end, he couldn't resist the temptation from the depths of his soul, driving a part of his body to gently move closer to the ball, just like a newborn baby who always has to feel it for himself when facing the unknown.

"Ahh

Deng An's consciousness was blurred for a moment, but at this moment, another breath was incorporated into his body, which was exactly what he felt when absorbing yin qi. He thought that this was the end of the matter, and that he could get rid of the orb's attachment, however, the burning pain came again.

Since then, these two completely different feelings have appeared again and again, and Deng An's consciousness, in the torment of their own strengths, has gradually fallen into a deep sleep.

There was no time in the tomb, and when Deng An's consciousness regained again, he found that he was still next to the bones, judging from the extremely thin layer of dust covering the scattered stone boxes, it seemed that a long time had passed, not a few days.

Recalling the terrible scene before falling asleep, Deng An still had palpitations. "Where's the ball?" he hurriedly "looked" at the ground at the thought of the culprit, and where there was still a trace of it.

Just as Deng An was looking around, in the yin qi that made up his body, something exactly like the previous round ball appeared?

"How can it be integrated into the body?" Deng An was puzzled, "It doesn't matter if he is a blessing or a curse, he can't avoid it, he is already dead, and he is afraid of dying again!"

Deng An is also a single, and no longer thinks about harm. He tried several times in a row, but the ball had no other use than to manifest and disappear with his thoughts, so that the cost of risk was not proportional to the gain.

"That's it, it's time to think about leaving. Deng An sighed secretly, carefully inspected the stone chamber again, and after confirming that there were no other treasures, he returned to the ground along the rift.

As the "round ball" merged into Deng An's body, the yin qi in the nearby area had no source and became much thinner, and it was no different from the color of the yin qi that made up his body.

Deng An's reappearance caused a stirring of the surrounding beasts, and a few wild dogs that were relatively close to each other, holding their tails, quickly fled from the nearby area.

Did they just find out about my existence?

Deng An quickly dismissed this idea, in the past, when he was dangling on the edge of the Yin Qi, those beasts did whatever they had to do, regardless of each other, at most keeping a certain distance, instead of scattering and fleeing in all directions like now.

Could it be the ball?

Deng An couldn't help but think of this.

Perhaps, it was the orb that melted behind him and caused some kind of change that made these beasts afraid. He repeatedly observed the yin qi that made up the "body", but unexpectedly found a black spot the size of a soybean in the center of the "body", and his consciousness seemed to come from inside.

Just when Deng An was confused, he suddenly heard several beast roars in the distance, and then the roar turned into a miserable scream. The three jackals that were still in his line of sight seemed to sense some danger and fled towards the dense forest in a panic.

Deng An followed the prestige and vaguely saw a person walking towards his location.

Seeing this scene, Deng Anxin had mixed feelings, this was the first person he saw after his death. Since ghosts are not as scary as imagined, it is estimated that they will not threaten people, so it is better to hide and act on the opportunity for a while. He quickly dodged to the side, hiding in the thick yin aura at the foot of the mountain. If you judge only by color, you can't see his existence.

The person who came was a young man in his twenties, of medium height, with a wide forehead, and was wearing a gray and white robe, which, judging by its style, seemed to belong to the standard clothes of a certain sect.

"I didn't expect there to be a shady place here. ”

The young man was surprised to see the black gas around him, and then happily took out a small black flag bordered with gold thread from the bag on his waist.

Deng An was confused when he saw the young man's strange behavior. When the other party took out the small black flag, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, and sensed a crisis from it, so he quietly moved away from this person along the foot of the mountain.

The young man still didn't notice Deng An's existence, and after walking to the edge of the yin qi, he suddenly threw the small flag to the middle of the yin qi. Almost at the same time, the young man stood with his fingers together and pointed towards the small flag, which emitted bursts of ghostly light, gradually forming a whirlpool of qi on the surface. The yin energy around him seemed to be guided, constantly injecting into the whirlpool.

"It's ...... , Spell Immortals?"

Deng An's concept was subverted again, and before his death, he occasionally heard stories about immortals from friends. Legend has it that the immortals have the ability to reach the heavens thoroughly, do not eat grains, do not serve the emperor, are at ease, and can live forever. Among the immortals, there are many small groups, called Xianmen, and judging by this person's attire, it is likely that he is a disciple of a certain Xianmen.

Deng An sighed in his heart, he thought that death was empty, but he didn't expect that in addition to becoming a ghost, he could also meet immortals, but he didn't know if his father would be like him.

Watching the young man keep pinching, Deng An was full of envy. It's no wonder that I don't know how many mortals even want to become immortals in their sleep. If he can become an immortal, those assassins who assassinate the Deng family will not be able to crush him to death with a finger.

"I've become a ghost, how can I cultivate immortals, don't daydream. Deng An can only blame himself for his shallow fortune, and he became someone else's knife early on.

For the next three days, the young man stayed on the periphery of the yin qi, and the rest of the time was just meditation, except for a few tricks every once in a while.

For the small black flag, Deng An became more and more frightened.

After it continued to absorb the surrounding yin qi, the color of the surface was no longer a single black, but emitted a strange black light everywhere, and there was also a trace of suction in it. This suction made Deng An'an uneasy, as if his soul was about to sink into it.

By the fourth day, Deng An could clearly tell that the small black flag seemed to have reached a certain saturation, and after some vibration, it stopped absorbing yin qi.

The young man who had been sitting upright had a happy face, and after getting up, he beckoned the small flag back into his hand. He looked at it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, although it is not up to the top grade, it is better than I expected, and it has not wasted these few days, and then I just need to concentrate on collecting souls to further enhance the power of this soul flag." ”

Based on this name alone, Deng An knew that this thing was the nemesis of ghosts and other things, and he didn't dare to leave anything to chance, and quietly floated in the direction of the rift. Because the yin qi around him was much thinner, if he was not careful, he showed his figure.

The young man has been dealing with ghosts for a long time, and he can judge Deng An's value at a glance.

"Hey, there's a ghost here! It seems that he has opened his mind, otherwise he wouldn't have known how to take the initiative to hide. Haha, this time I was really lucky, not only did I finish the soul banner sacrifice, but I also found a ghost who can be the main soul. ”

While the young man laughed, he did not forget to take out a broken jar from his bosom.

This jar is very similar to the clay pot used by the farmer to serve rice, and it is gray and inconspicuous. Deng An didn't think it was an ordinary item, and his intuition told him that the thing that the young man took out was the same as the soul flag, and it was the nemesis of himself and other ghosts.

"It's not that easy!"

The young man smiled contemptuously, aimed the mouth of the can at Deng An, and then gently patted the bottom of the can, and a circle of ghostly light flashed, heading towards the front cover. It may be that this person's use of the jar is still a little jerky, and the aperture can be as far as a foot behind Deng An.

While rejoicing, Deng Anxin accelerated his escape.

The young man frowned, a little annoyed by his mistake, and slapped the can again, and a circle of light emitted from the mouth of the can again. This time, he still misjudged the position and landed not far in front of Deng An, just enough to put the crack into the mask.

Fortunately, Deng An reacted in time and did not automatically collide with it.

When the young man saw the rift, he immediately guessed Deng An's intentions. He couldn't help but show a sneer on his face, and slapped the mouth of the can twice in a row, sending out two circles of light almost at the same time, one of which put the crack into the mask, while the other went straight to Deng An.

Deng An had no way to retreat, so he had to flee to the periphery of the yin qi far away from the youth.

Seeing this, the young man quickly recited a few incantations, rushed headlong into the thin yin qi, and drove the broken jar in pursuit of him in the back.

Because of the previous lesson, Deng An didn't dare to leave the range shrouded in yin qi, just went around the periphery, and almost hit the trick several times, if it weren't for the fact that the young man was a novice, I am afraid that he would have been put into the tank by the other party.

"I'm afraid it's a newborn ghost!" The young man saw that Deng An was only swirling in the black air, and guessed the general reason, so he chased even harder.

Gradually, Deng An was forced into a corner, and in addition to escaping to the range of Yin Qi, the young man did not leave him room to escape.

"Anyway, if you are caught, it will not end well, it is better to suffer some pain, go back from the outside, maybe there is a chance to get into the tomb. ”

Deng An was forced to be in a hurry, ruthless, and desperately escaped from the scope of the yin qi. Unlike a few days ago, although his body still had a burning sensation, the impact was minimal, and the damage to his body was almost negligible.

After Deng An was stunned, he turned to great joy and fled towards the dense forest on one side.
