Buzz buzz, buzz!
There was a sudden buzzing sound in the air in front of him.
Then, under our surprised gaze, a line of small black traditional Chinese characters appeared in the air...
[Practitioners are not allowed to approach]
"Is this... the ghost king's warning?"
Chen Jun looked surprised.
But I vaguely understood something and said softly.
"It's more of an agreement than a warning, right? No wonder everything here is so unreasonable in detail. It seems that those eminent monks and this ghost king may have reached some kind of balance agreement."
I see!
Yu Jing hooked my neck and said with a smile.
"Our little brother Wu is still smart! My sister thinks the same way."
"It's very possible that although the ghost king is more difficult to deal with, he is not evil. So the superiors and the monks reached an agreement with it back then. They can stay here, but they must be restricted by the magic circle, and at the same time they cannot harm ordinary residents."
"On the other hand, it is estimated that the ghost king also requires practitioners not to approach the nearby area to leave some space for itself. So ordinary people can move freely here, but practitioners like us will be stopped."
Niu Deheng also nodded, saying that he did not have the evil pressure of being swallowed up at any time - as a ghost cultivator, he is most sensitive to strong ghosts.
Since it's not an evil ghost, let's try to be reasonable...
So, I cupped my hands and spoke to the darkness in front of me.
"Senior! We don't mean to be rude and offensive, we just want to inquire about something."
There was silence.
But I have an intuition that the Ghost King should have heard it.
So I didn’t care and kept talking.
"Since senior has some secret agreement with human righteous practitioners, it means that he is at least reasonable and able to communicate, and is not the kind of crazy evil spirit. Then why are you harboring a fierce ghost who has killed dozens of people! Isn't this a bit unreasonable? "
Still silence.
I frowned, thinking that this ghost king insisted on protecting me?
The expressions of others were also a little solemn.
After all, if the Ghost King of Qixinggang insists on not handing over James, why would we really dare not do anything...
Then we can only go back and report the matter to the company's superiors.
Unexpectedly, a few seconds later, a line of black writing appeared in the air again.
Just two words.
【who is it】
oh?
I was slightly startled.
Could it be that he misunderstood this mysterious ghost king?
It's not to protect the evil ghost James, but it usually doesn't care about anything and doesn't know the situation.
I immediately became energetic and answered eloquently.
"Wilson James. During his lifetime, he was the German director of the Tongyuan Bureau Machinery Factory during the late Qing Dynasty. After his death, he turned into an evil ghost and is currently at the level of [Fierce Ghost]. A few years ago, he deliberately killed an entire A car full of people! And they were restrained, not knowing what kind of conspiracy they were planning."
After another period of silence, writing appeared in the air again.
【Wait a moment】
I looked at each other.
"Looks like there's something going on!"
really……
This time the wait was closer, probably more than a minute later.
call!
A black whirlwind suddenly flew out of the huge yellow-horned forest in the direction of the Bodhi Vajra Pagoda in the distance. There seems to be a shadow wrapped inside.
The whirlwind was flying towards this side, and waves of unwilling begging for mercy could be heard.
"Master Ghost King! Master Ghost King, please don't...please. I have been under your command for nearly a hundred years and have never done anything bad. Just this time, I just killed twenty or thirty ordinary people like ants. "
However, nothing works.
The black whirlwind swept him up and came to us.
"No! I don't accept it."
James roared at the top of his lungs, constantly opening and twisting his body, and a stream of ghostly energy spread from his body - but there was no way to break away from the entanglement of the black whirlwind.
Seeing this scene, I felt relieved.
Yu Jing, Chen Jun and others beside them also showed relaxed smiles.
This ghost king is really particular!
A line of black writing appeared in the air in front of him again.
[This matter is over, leave here]
Apparently, it doesn't like practitioners coming into its range.
I smiled and arched my hands into the darkness ahead.
"Thank you for being so reasonable, senior! Now that the evil ghost has been caught, we will naturally not disturb senior again."
But James kept shouting.
"Lord Ghost King! After all, I have received your power here. I am your loyal subordinate. Are you going to hand me over like this? If these human monks do anything to me, your secret will also be known. .”
oh?
As soon as he said this, we all had surprised expressions on our faces - this was a complete rip-off!
Moreover, it also carries a vague sense of threat.
Huang Hao whispered.
"It seems like there's some serious inside story?"
I narrowed my eyes slightly and already had a rough idea in my mind.
It's very possible...the "gift of power" and "secret" mentioned by James are related to the [Mysterious Black Illusion]!
"Could it be that there is some type of mysterious black phantom near the Bodhi Vajra Pagoda and the Ghost King's lair? It's very possible! After all, the appearance of this forbidden divine object is irregular and appears randomly in certain places. And it can travel back and forth. The void disappears from time to time.”
"And this ghost king doesn't allow practitioners to approach its lair. In addition to possibly hating human practitioners, maybe it also doesn't want anyone to discover its secret?"
Judging from the current situation, this possibility is quite high!
But in any case, James's "euphemistic soft threat" must be unpleasant-if it were me, I might be furious by now.
Of course, maybe this ghost king has existed for hundreds of years, and his joy and anger are invisible.
A clear and sweet female voice, but with a tone as cold as ice, suddenly rang in all of our ears.
"It's up to you, I, the king, don't care. You can get out!"
As these words fell, a tyrannical Yin Qi suddenly burst out.
We quickly seemed to be pushed by a huge force, pushing us some distance away...
My heart skipped a beat.
"This voice... this ghost king is actually a female? A female ghost king!"
When I came here just now, when I heard Niu Bi talk about it, I always subconsciously assumed that he was a male ghost.
It turned out to be a female ghost king!
Yu Jing blinked helplessly.
"Okay, okay, brother Xiao Wu, my sister knows that you are a curious baby. You want to get to the bottom of everything. But now that the evil ghost has been caught, let's not hang around here. It will be troublesome to make the senior ghost king angry. "
She was worried that I was young and energetic, so she insisted on asking me what happened.
In fact, I know much better than they do about the "Secret of the Ghost King" that James said...
I nodded.
"Well, okay sister. Let's take James back now."
As I said that, I casually cast a sealing spell to seal this foreign evil ghost.
He could no longer struggle and turned into a piece of black energy, which was sucked into the spell and landed lightly in my palm.
