Chapter 108 Ghost King
Chapter 108 Ghost King
Wu Zhou couldn't care less about arguing with this ghost anymore. His previous body was not good at spells, and now his body is seriously injured. With his fists and legs and two or three blows, he might still be able to narrowly win with just a bit of strength.
But the Wu City Lord had been preparing for so long, and it was impossible to bring only a few people. He was afraid that many people would come over on the grounds of catching ghosts and getting rid of sneaky things for the people of Baojiang City, and there might be the Taoist priest among them.
If the Taoist priest was really sent from Beijing, it would be inseparable from the current emperor. I heard that Emperor Hong trusted the current national teacher very much, and this national teacher also proposed to the late emperor half a year ago to build this temple in Xigui City. The national teacher of the underground palace, so it is very likely that all of this is inseparable from the other party.
He can't handle a Taoist priest, let alone the national teacher in the court.
Wu Zhou had a headache this time. The system gave him a task that was too difficult. It would be enough for the male lead to be the emperor with a ghost. Now there are evil Taoists behind the former Wu City Lord, and there is a national teacher behind the scenes. A lost battle.
But now that he is here, I feel unwilling to admit defeat without giving it a try. Wu Zhou thought for a while, and while the Ghost King was arranging those ghost generals, he ran to the next door to instruct Master Yifeng and his junior.
Daoist Yi Feng fell silent after listening: "Ah Zhou, do you have something to hide as a teacher?"
"Master, there is indeed one thing, but now is not the time to say it. The Lord Wu City is a bad person. What he did was unintentionally destroyed by us. It is impossible for us to leave Xigui City alive. So we can only fight Now, master, you are injured, and junior brother is still inexperienced, so I can only give it a go. Don't worry, master, I... have help." This is the master of the predecessor, and the other party has done his best for the predecessor. body, it is necessary to take good care of his master and younger brother.
What's more, this matter was caused by the ghost king, and he was the one who came to help the ghost king. After all the calculations, he had to take this responsibility for the ghost king first.
Wu Zhou originally thought that it would take a lot of talking and talk to the Daoist leader to get his head down, but he didn't expect that the other party didn't ask any more questions, "Okay, we'll hide here, and we won't go out no matter what we hear. However, You take this."
Daoist Yifeng suddenly took out something from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Wu Zhou.
Wu Zhou lowered his head and looked at the thing in the palm of Daoist Yifeng. It was a half-broken jade pendant, and only half was shining in the palm of Daoist Yifeng.
"Master, this is..." Wu Zhou was actually quite curious. He thought that the previous master had no skills, but after taking the so-called elixir from the so-called patriarch that the other party took out earlier, his health improved a lot. Looking at it, it was only half of it, but one could clearly feel the breath that made the whole body comfortable.
Daoist Yifeng looked at the jade pendant with indifference and no other emotion on his face: "Just wear it, maybe... it will be useful to you."
After finishing speaking, Daoist Remaining Feng stuffed the half piece of jade pendant into Wu Zhou's palm, turned his back, followed Wu Zhou's previous intention, and took his junior brother to hide in a corner under the bed, and hid.
Wu Zhou gripped the jade pendant tightly, bowed to the place where the two priests were hiding, and went out. After going out, he put the half jade pendant on his neck together with the previous one, and then went to find the ghost king up.
As soon as the ghost king finished giving his orders, he turned his head and saw Wu Zhou, and raised his jaw directly.
Wu Zhou saw what he meant, and walked over unwillingly. The guy's intention was obvious, come over and let the king get up.
Wu Zhou found out that he needs to be willing to get on him. The other party tried to get on him in a coma before, but he failed to prove it.
Sure enough, as soon as Wu Zhou passed by, he felt a black shadow flickering in front of him. The ghost king directly merged with his body without any nonsense. Wu Zhou couldn't control this body for the time being, but he could still spy on it, as if the two were in harmony. Like sharing this body, thinking about it this way always feels a little weird.
But he couldn't control it now, he could only watch the ghost king instruct those ghost generals to move things like that.
When the King of Chu didn't die ten years ago, he stayed here for a long time, and even carried the last wave of enemy troops. He knew the terrain of the whole Xigui City very well, and I'm afraid he also knew the organs of Xigui City back then. in the heart.
Wu Zhou just stood there, watching all kinds of things being carried around by those ghost generals. In fact, it didn't take long before Wu Zhou heard a sound. The ghost king raised his arms, and the ghost generals quickly hid.
At the same time, the ghost king also dodged into the dark, almost at the same time as he hid in the dark, Wu Zhou heard that the door of Xi Guicheng's lord's mansion was opened from the outside, and immediately rushed in a dozen guards to lead the charge, to put it bluntly It's here to die.
Wu Zhou couldn't speak or move, so he could only watch the guards barge in first, shielded him with shields, held a knife in his hand, and was wearing heart armor. The difference is that runes are written on those heart armors with something, and they are called a row, blocking the front.
Afterwards, City Lord Wu and the Taoist came in. The costume of City Lord Wu was similar to what he had seen before, but there were also runes drawn on his chest, back and back, obviously to prevent being attacked by ghosts.
He said why City Lord Wu had waited so long, he was really preparing.
The master of Wucheng is like this, and the Taoist priest who almost suffered a big loss last night even wore a weird Taoist robe, and his body was covered with runes, which made Wu Zhou feel terrified.
This Taoist priest and these people are obviously here to deal with the ghost king. It seems that these few of them are not seen by the city master Wu.After the two city masters came in, more than a dozen guards rushed in, with the same runes on their bodies.
The front and back rows of guards guarded the two timid people in the middle.
Wu Zhou couldn't move, so it depended on what the Ghost King was going to do.
These people formed a circle, moved closer and closer step by step, and from time to time, the Taoist would throw out a piece of talisman to test whether there was a trap ahead, but it was obvious that the Taoist was going to be disappointed. Wu Zhou just watched it with his own eyes, and it was done by the ghost king. Those traps were not set by the ghost himself, but the secret traps set by the city to fight against those enemy troops.
Because the Taoist priest's talisman opened the way, the guards were very relieved. As long as the talisman was okay, they would move forward, but when they reached a certain place, suddenly a crack split from the middle of the originally flat ground. The hole directly swallowed the dozen or so guards headed by the general.
A few of them panicked and used their swords as pedals to support them, and were caught by the guards who rushed up quickly, but even so, they lost a quarter of the guards who came this time. The sword buried in the deepest part pierced his chest, and he died.
This scene frightened City Lord Wu, and he quickly hid behind the Taoist priest: "Dao, Taoist chief, what... what's going on? Didn't you say it's okay? Why are there these traps? What can I do? Either...or we should go back."
"City Master, do you still want to go back to Beijing? If it wasn't for you this time, why would your lord waste all your time and come here?" The Taoist priest swayed Wu City Master in a high-sounding manner. Obviously this was only one of the reasons, and the more important thing was that the Holy One felt that he was The king of Chu who was sealed here made him feel uneasy, but he couldn't tell City Lord Wu this.
Sure enough, after hearing this sentence, City Lord Wu thought about it, in order to return to Beijing as soon as possible and become the uncle of the country, isn't it just a few ghosts?
City Lord Wu waved his hand, making the guards, who were also trembling and frightened by this scene, continue to rush forward. As long as these ghosts are eliminated, anyone who comes here today will be able to return to Beijing with him to become an official.
People die for money and birds die for food. When the guards heard this, they looked at each other, bit the bullet and continued to rush forward.
Wu Zhou just watched these people go all the way, and finally arrived at the entrance of the underground palace. The Taoist patted, "What are you afraid of, those traps must not be made by a few ghosts in a day, they must have been made by the soldiers here in the past. There are spells and no traps in this underground palace, which was our original plan." It was built under personal supervision, but it is the safest inside. If you don’t go in, the poor will go in.”
The Taoist said and stepped in, and the Lord Wu quickly followed him in, followed by seven or eight remaining guards.
Wu Zhou was far away and didn't hear what the Taoist priest said, not to mention, even if he heard it, he couldn't be the master, so he saw that Wu City Lord and others entered the underground palace, and felt really strange.And the ghost king followed him after he controlled his body for a while, and behind him was a trail of ghost generals. Wei and the others rubbed their shoulders, muttering to themselves but did not dare to say anything.
When he arrived at the underground palace, the Taoist was obviously relieved. He walked over and opened the jade coffins with a mechanism. Sure enough, the inside was empty. Except for the funeral objects in the jade coffin of King Chu, the jade coffin he held in his hand Obviously can't feel the ghost in it.On the contrary, there were frequent ghost auras coming from the direction behind him. He quietly put away the jade, turned his head, and faced the direction of the stone gate. When the ghost aura approached, he suddenly closed the mechanism again, and a figure also appeared in the direction of the stone gate. In the underground palace.
The Taoist priest looked at the young man with a blank face. He was full of ghostly aura, especially his black eyes were faintly glowing scarlet at the moment. It was obvious that he was possessed by the King of Chu just like what he saw last night. .
But now that he is here, it’s no wonder that he sacrificed so many guards to bring the King of Chu here. He watched the young man rushing over quickly, then squatted down suddenly, and at the same time, took a piece of paper from the burden on his back. He took out a black bottle full of golden runes, opened the stopper, and poured the contents down to a place on the ground.
Wu Zhou looked through the eyes of this body and watched that the black jade bottle turned out to be blood. He didn't know what was going on with the blood. When he fell down, it seemed that the position was a key point. Suddenly, the blood was visible to the naked eye. The speed swished and spread in all directions, turning into golden lines and showing golden runes in all positions of the entire underground palace.
In particular, the jade coffin was covered with golden runes, like a huge black vortex, attracting the ghost of the ghost king from Wu Zhou's body, as if it was about to be sealed inside again.
Wu Zhou couldn't get a glimpse of his face at the moment, maybe he could feel the pain in his body when the ghost king's soul was torn apart, Wu Zhou cursed secretly, sure enough, this underground palace is inseparable from Naoshizi Guoshi, It turned out that the stinky Taoist priest was waiting here.
This is to completely destroy the Ghost King.
If the ghost king is dead, does the other party have peace of mind?But his mission also failed, and this time he was sucked in, obviously not as simple as being sealed like before, and he was afraid that he would just... lose his soul.
Wu Zhou has a headache. The ghost king is powerful, but he can't stop this underground palace full of runes.
Wu Zhou wants to destroy the pattern of this underground palace, so he needs to get his body back, but once he controls this body, it means that the ghost king will leave this body, but once he leaves, he will be attracted to him immediately. In the jade coffin, it completely disappeared.
On the other side, the evil Taoist priest looked at this scene with a proud face, and saw that the young man not far away was invisible trapped by golden runes, and the golden lines spreading from his feet formed a totem, forming a formation Expelling the soul of the king of Chu from the young man's body, once successful, then the adult used his own blood to form the medium and this bottle of rune jade coffin specially carved according to the horoscope of the king of Chu's birthday will become the ghost of the king of Chu. Burial place.
"King Chu, don't struggle anymore, you can't escape these runes. These are all designed for you, but you have wasted a lot of hard work, so you just give up struggling and obediently come to die... I have been dead for so many years and cannot be reincarnated, what is the point of being trapped here as a ghost?" The Taoist laughed sarcastically, watching the black mist covering the boy's body being suppressed by the golden runes again and again, revealing the ghost It's terrifying, but it's quite pleasing to watch.
The pain of the ghost king overwhelmed the seriously injured body, and Wu Zhou was terrified. As long as this body couldn't bear it like last night, he vomited blood and passed out. He was afraid that after losing consciousness, the ghost king would be expelled immediately.
Wu Zhou looked at the jade coffin covered with golden runes and black swirls inside, and felt a headache. Obviously they underestimated this evil Taoist priest, but the ghost king is really gone if he just sits and waits to be killed. Soul, his mission also failed.
How to do how to do?
Wu Zhou's mind was in a mess, and suddenly when the ghost king was about to be pulled out of this body, the magic weapon around Wu Zhou's neck and the half piece of jade pendant given by the Taoist priest left behind worked, and a glazed halo shrouded the world. Around Wu Zhou's body, the ghost king was once again stabilized in this body.
Wu Zhou heaved a sigh of relief, but the next moment, he saw the sinister light flashing in the eyes of the evil Taoist opposite, and took out a mahogany sword from behind, pasted a piece of talisman paper on it, and turned towards Wu Zhou. Come in this direction.
Wu Zhou cursed, this dog is not finished unless it kills them, but this is not the time to be angry, he suddenly remembered the magic weapon given by the system, which is said to be able to resist three fatal attacks...
He opened his eyes and looked at the jade coffin not far away. The Taoist dog said just now that the jade coffin was specially designed for the ghost king. Looking through the memories of the predecessor in my mind, I found out that this method needs to be specially designed with the horoscope of birth, otherwise it cannot be sealed more perfectly.
That being the case, if a ghost who is not of this kind of birth date breaks in, will it be considered as breaking the ghost formation?
Wu Zhou wasn't sure if the magic weapon given by the system could stop this kind of thing, but seeing the situation was wrong now, the magic weapon given by the system was to save him, not this body, right?
Then we can only... take a gamble.
If he waits any longer, the man is mainly out of his wits. If he fails in his mission, he will have to wait another 100 years. If he can earn the trust of the male protagonist, the first mission may be completed.
Wu Zhou took a deep breath, and turned out a soul-leaving technique mastered by his predecessor in his mind. After writing it down, when the ghost king was about to lose his ghost energy and was about to lose his body, he Taking advantage of this opportunity, he raised his arm and bit his finger cruelly, stripped off the clothes on his upper body, and quickly wrote the spell of leaving the soul on the center of his eyebrows and on his body with blood.
"What are you doing?" Wu Zhou heard such a depressing and deep voice from his body.
Wu Zhou gritted his teeth, sacrificed so much, if he still can't impress the hero, then he can only die in vain, Wu Zhou took a deep breath, regained control of this body temporarily, "If I die, Take good care of Master and Junior Brother for me, and... take revenge for me." After saying that, he chanted the Lihun Mantra suddenly, and immediately felt that his soul was stripped from this body, and because he was missing his own The soul, half of the ghost king's soul that was originally stripped out, went out.
Taking advantage of the fact that the Taoist dog couldn't see it, Wu Zhou flew towards the jade coffin with black swirls...
When the evil Taoist first saw the young man's movements, he thought that the ghost king couldn't hold on to what he was going to do. In fact, he was not good at learning, and he just relied on the things given by the adults to support the scene. But after all, he had seen such things as the soul-separating technique, which seemed familiar at first , When he understood what it was, his expression suddenly changed, but apart from the gust of wind, where could he see the existence of ghosts?
At this time, Wu Zhou had already rushed to the jade coffin, lowered his head, and saw his transparent body. Sure enough, the jade pendant was hanging around his neck, which was worn by his soul. He was relieved and looked back , and saw the scarlet eyes of the young man trapped by the golden rune, and his whole body was filled with ghostly aura. He growled something, but because the runes around the jade coffin were too full of yang energy, he couldn't hear clearly at all, smiled at the ghost king, and jumped into the jade coffin.
While jumping in, Wu Zhou felt as if his soul was being torn apart. The bone-piercing pain made him unable to bear the painful ghost howl... resounding throughout the underground palace.
Before Wu Zhou's consciousness was completely stripped off, he only heard a ghostly howl that was more deafening than him, and at the same time, the system finally sounded again: "Congratulations to the host for completing the main mission one and getting the male lead's Trust and goodwill, reward yourself with a bottle of spirit water for body and soul restoration. The main task [-] is opened, and you will help the hero recover his body within three months, and you will be punished if you fail the task.”
Wu Zhou was almost awakened by the last sentence, but before he had any other reaction, he was completely plunged into darkness.
Before he passed out, the only thing he remembered was the pain of his soul being torn apart, and the howling of the ghost king that even ghosts couldn't stand...
……
After some time, Wu Zhou finally regained consciousness again. The moment he recovered, he felt all the pain rushing up from his body, so painful that he almost fainted again.He thought about the bottle of spiritual water in the system...
"Water, water..." Hurry up and give me a sip, it hurts like hell.
In the end, some water really poured in. He opened his mouth and gurgled and drank, but the more he drank, the more painful it became. Wu Zhou opened his eyes suddenly with a lot of perseverance, and met his junior brother who was red like a rabbit. With the same eyes, he was feeding him a bowl of water pitifully, crying while drinking, seeing that the teardrops were about to fall into the bowl, Wu Zhou was so frightened that he turned his head to the side.
What he wants to drink is not this...it's other spiritual water. Drinking water will do the trick.
"Brother Zhou, you finally woke up! Woohoo!" Wu Zhou hadn't waited to touch his body to find where the spiritual water given by the system had gone, when he was hugged by someone, and he almost couldn't catch his breath.
"Scatter, scatter..." He finally touched the spiritual water, and he drank it without hesitation. Suddenly, almost instantly, Wu Zhou felt that his broken body and tortured soul had been repaired, and he felt refreshed. , the body doesn't hurt anymore, and I can stand up and fight the dog Taoist priest for another [-] rounds.
When he was so excited, he turned over and sat up, his junior brother stared blankly in fright, was dumbfounded, thumped in fright, then came back to his senses, and cried even more heartbreakingly: "Aw—— —Brother Zhou, are you going to die? Are you returning to the light?"
Wu Zhou had a headache from crying, so he pinched his face directly: "What are you thinking? I'm already healed, why are you cursing me?"
The appearance of Wu Zhou frightened the younger brother, and he rushed out immediately to call the Taoist Master Yifeng to go. The door was open, Wu Zhou looked out, and found that there was a corridor outside. Looking at this room, it didn’t look like Xi Guicheng. ……Where?
Now that he came back to his senses, he remembered the male lead. As long as he recalled the ghostly howl of the ghost king before he fell into a coma, he felt that his heart had been pulled for no reason. Numb, but when you come back to your senses, where is the ghost king?
He looked around and saw no one, but when he woke up, he only saw his junior brother. Is this how the ghost king repays his lifesaver?
He thought for a while, don't it be that the ghost king thought he almost killed him and hid?
When did that ghost know how to be considerate of people?So, Wu Zhou suddenly clutched his heart and bent over and fell back: "Master, junior brother, come back... I, I may really, really die..."
Wu Zhou yelled a few times in pain, and sure enough, he felt a dark wind blowing in the room. Almost instantly, a tall ghost came to the bed.
Wu Zhou raised his head immediately, and sure enough, he met the Ghost King's worried eyes before he could retract his worried eyes. He sat up refreshed, and grinned: "Hi."
Ghost King: "..."
