Chapter 196: The Powerful and the Lackeys, the Resentful Ghosts Change (6k!)

"What is this? An illusion?"

Chen Xi frowned as he looked at the blurry scene in front of him.

At this moment, the servants kept saying yes, with awe and gratitude.

The noble master embraced the young maid with a smile on his face.

The steward praised the noble, and was arrogant in front of the servants, looking like a lackey.

After about three or five breaths, the illusion gradually became hazy, and the surroundings returned to normal.

Chen Xi retracted his sight, thinking in his heart.

He really didn't expect that the resentment here was so heavy.

Just the resentment and yin energy can form the illusion of the past.

The scene he saw just now should have happened in the Baoxiang Kingdom in the past.

It's just that the scene was too fragmented.

Just a few words of fragments were not enough for Chen Xi to know more.

But with the details revealed by the scene just now, he could guess a little.

The maid's strange behavior, wolf hair growing on her hands...

The information revealed by this scene is obviously when the citizens of Baoxiang Country, as mentioned by the White Bone Bodhisattva, were turned into wolf monsters by Kuimu Wolf.

"Touch the pearl..."

"It seems that the dignitaries of Baoxiang Country used the pearl to deal with the process of demonization."

"But judging from the current results, they should have failed."

Chen Xi's thoughts turned quickly, and he extracted a lot of useful information from just one illusion.

The dignitaries in the illusion used the pearl to win people's hearts and enjoy the worship and service, which made him a little disgusted.

But this was just an illusion after all, and he was not angry about it.

Chen Xi's thoughts were determined and he didn't want to delay here.

He kept walking, following the smell of the bone girl, and continued to go east.

And this time, before he took a few steps.

He saw several ghosts in the place where the resentment was strong.

These ghosts seemed to be unaware that they were dead, and they were still repeating their behaviors in their lifetime.

"Don't be lazy, remember the mercy of the master!"

A ghost who looked like the steward in the previous illusion, holding a big iron chain in his hand.

It has eagle eyes, a pair of dog legs, and a haughty look between its eyebrows.

At the other end of the chain in his hand, there are many ghosts dressed as servants.

These ghosts have chains around their necks, and they are thin and weak. Only the iron chain on their necks can support their bodies to stand.

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes, and his eyes were full of glass light.

Heavenly eyes!

In an instant, he saw the details of the two ghosts clearly.

The first one is the steward with eagle eyes and dog legs, whose name is... Eagle Dog Ghost!

Fawning in front of people, and struggling to gain personal gains behind people's backs.

Fawning like a dog when meeting officials, and cruel and ruthless when meeting people.

The rogue's face is exposed, and he will be a dog in this life.

The ghosts with chains around their necks are called voice ghosts.

They have pointed heads and thin bodies like silver, and they are not even half a centimeter on the scale.

Their eyes are on their buttocks, and they only recognize clothes and not people.

Voice ghosts blindly follow the crowd and flatter, and are good servants of those hawks and dogs.

These ghosts are like lonely ghosts, wandering on the second floor of the pagoda.

As luck would have it, they just blocked Chen Xi's way.

"Yes, it's a wolf demon!"

"Kill him quickly, don't let him attract the wolf demon outside!"

The hawk and dog ghost seemed to have discovered Chen Xi, pulled the chain, and shouted loudly.

The voice ghosts under its command responded without thinking.

Then they really crawled towards Chen Xi like wild dogs.

"How brave!"

Chen Xi had an indescribable disgust for these ghosts.

The glass light around him rippled, shining in all directions.

All the ghosts who approached him screamed.

However, as the ghosts died one by one, the surrounding scene trembled and gradually turned bloody.

Chen Xi could clearly feel that the resentment around him was gradually accumulating.

He realized in an instant that if he killed the ghosts indiscriminately, it might cause changes here.

Chen Xi thought of this and was unwilling to get entangled with these little ghosts. He planned to find the bone girl first.

However, the little ghosts were difficult to deal with!

These guys who had long been reduced to ghosts had no consciousness at all, and they would only blindly carry out their previous behaviors.

At this time, for some unknown reason, these ghosts seemed to recognize Chen Xi as some kind of wolf demon.

Their eyes glowed red, and they rushed towards Chen Xi like moths to a flame, not wanting him to go deeper into the second floor.

"Damn it! It's so difficult to deal with!"

Chen Xi was annoyed, but he didn't dare to kill them.

He just used the power of light to affect some ghosts, which caused the resentment of the second level to increase greatly.

If all these ghosts were killed, it is unknown what consequences would be caused.

At present, taking the pearl is the most important thing, and there is no need to make trouble.

However, if left alone, these ghosts will stick to them like dog skin plasters, which is really troublesome.

Chen Xi's eyes condensed, and he had to catch the leader first!

Since these annoying ghosts are all driven by the hawk dog ghost.

Then it seems that he only needs to kill the hawk dog ghost, and these ghosts who are flattering him will not bother him anymore.

Chen Xi thought of this and acted decisively!

Divine Foot Power!

Chen Xi moved his body and appeared in front of the hawk dog ghost in an instant.

Before the hawk dog ghost could react, he was kicked in the chest by him.

The hawk dog ghost flew backwards and howled miserably.

"Ahhhh!"

"How dare you, you lowly bastard, hurt me?"

"Someone come! Someone come quickly! The wolf demon has entered the palace!"

The eagle-dog ghost was not like an ordinary little demon. It was kicked by Chen Xi but did not die on the spot.

It crawled on the ground in a mess and pulled the chain desperately.

The ghosts with attached voices were dragged by the chain and had no power to resist.

The eagle-dog ghost, which should have been seriously injured, took a big gulp and swallowed several nearby ghosts with attached voices.

In an instant, most of its injuries were healed.

And this action also caused the ghosts with attached voices to become more resentful.

However, they did not dare to do anything to the eagle-dog ghosts, and only dared to vent their resentment on Chen Xi.

Chen Xi ignored it and only attacked the eagle-dog ghosts.

He took a step forward, and the nine-ring tin staff fell on his head.

The eagle-dog ghost screamed and wanted to use the ghosts with attached voices to block it.

However, Chen Xi was faster than it!

"Bang!"

There was only a muffled sound!

The nine-ring tin staff cut the eagle-dog ghost on the spot, cleanly and neatly.

The hawk-dog ghost twitched all over, and then turned into a wisp of black smoke, dissipating with the wind.

The resentment on the second floor of the pagoda was even worse.

However, this increase was better than killing all the ghosts.

When the ghosts saw the hawk-dog ghost dead, they all scattered like birds and beasts, and dared not attack Chen Xi again.

"Huh?"

Chen Xi noticed keenly that these ghosts who fled in panic seemed to be gathering in one direction.

And in that direction, the resentment was heavier and the yin energy was even worse!

Chen Xi's face was slightly condensed, and he suppressed his thoughts for the time being and turned to look for the bone girl.

This time, there were no ghosts to make trouble, and he quickly found the trace of the bone girl.

At this time, the bone girl was also surrounded by ghosts.

However, because of Yu Ruyi, the bone girl was not worried about her life for a while.

"I say that here, the hawks and dogs should be killed!"

The explanation is clear!

As soon as Chen Xi said this, the hawk-dog ghost, who was originally shouting and chasing the bone girl, suddenly froze.

A golden knife fell from the sky and landed on its neck.

The hawk-dog ghost didn't even have time to scream before he died.

Seeing this, the ghosts around fled in panic.

The bone girl knew that the Buddha had come, and she was relieved immediately.

"Bone girl..."

"Is this what you said, that the restrictions in the pagoda are complicated and it is easy to get lost, so I asked you not to lose you?"

"Why is this the case now?"

"A group of little ghosts are difficult for you to deal with. I doubt whether you can help me get the pearl."

Chen Xi walked slowly and spoke.

Hearing this, the bone girl hurriedly explained.

"Buddha, you misunderstood..."

"Now the pagoda seems to have changed compared to the past."

"As far as I know, the dark side of the second floor of the pagoda was originally used to imprison the resentful ghosts who died tragically in Baoxiang Kingdom."

"Now, I don't know how these resentful ghosts escaped from the cell and formed a ghost domain."

"The ghost domain is formed by resentment, and there are illusions everywhere. It is difficult to distinguish the direction, which delayed some time..."

Hearing this, Chen Xi did not comment.

"You feel that huge resentment, right?"

"What is that?"

Chen Xi looked at the direction where the ghosts fled.

"To reply to the Buddha, as far as I know, that should be the central ghost that formed this ghost domain."

"I think it was because too many ghosts were killed, causing the resentment here to soar, making it restless."

"If it wakes up now, it will be even more difficult to get out."

The bone girl answered with a serious face.

"Oh?"

"If we kill it directly, can the so-called central ghost go out directly?"

Chen Xi stroked the nine-ring tin staff and asked back.

"This..."

"That's true. If we can kill the central ghost directly, the ghost domain will be broken naturally."

The bone girl knew the Buddha's methods, so she naturally didn't doubt whether he had the ability.

"Then what are you waiting for?"

Chen Xi didn't want to waste useless time in these places.

Instead of looking for an exit everywhere, it's better to kill the source directly and strangle it in the cradle.

Chen Xi made up his mind and immediately took the bone girl to the center of the ghost domain.

Along the way, there were many illusions.

Chen Xi saw with his own eyes that many resentful ghosts were eaten by wolf monsters before they died.

A family of old and young, parents, wives, and descendants, were eaten by wolf monsters in front of them.

Sometimes, death is not the most painful.

The most painful thing is that the loved ones died in front of you, and you are powerless to do anything.

"No wonder the ghosts imprisoned here have such deep resentment."

Chen Xi frowned, but a trace of confusion rose in his heart.

Since the scenes in the illusion are all things that happened in the past.

Why are the wolf demons in Baoxiang Kingdom now not as irrational, vicious and cruel as the illusion?

Although Chen Xi was thinking in his heart, his feet were not slow at all.

Not long after, he and the bone girl came to the center of the ghost area.

A large number of ghosts have already gathered here, and the resentment is condensed and not dispersed, as if it has substance.

But a phantom slowly emerged.

In the illusion, there stands a pagoda!

Indistinctly, this pagoda is somewhat similar to the current pagoda.

And on top of that pagoda, a group of powerful ministers and royal relatives gathered.

They are gorgeously dressed and expensive.

However, now, all these dignitaries have ferocious faces.

"Quick, drive these lowly people away!" "They are wolf monsters, not the people of my Baoxiang Kingdom!"

The dignitaries' voices were full of panic and fear.

Under their orders, a group of hawk-dog ghosts stood on the tower, desperately swinging the chains.

The resentful ghosts who were desperately climbing up the tower were whipped by the chains and fell down.

They were broken into pieces, screaming and wailing.

The wolf demons in the illusions pounced on these resentful ghosts, biting and tearing them.

The scene was horrible for a while.

The resentment rose and spread wantonly.

The people who were eaten by the wolf demons and abandoned by the powerful looked at the pagoda with resentment.

They... became resentful ghosts because of this!

Under the influence of resentment, these resentful ghosts gradually merged into a ball.

The deformed and twisted mouths kept pouring out resentment.

"Master, I have old people and young children to take care of. I don't want to die. Please let me into the tower!"

"Sir, stop beating me, stop beating me! Give me a quick death!"

"Why! You can hide in the tower, but we have to be eaten by the wolf demon!"

"Ah, mother! Damn wolf demon!"

"It's all your fault, corrupt officials. You collect taxes and pay taxes on weekdays, but when something goes wrong, you let us people die instead. You deserve to die!"

The illusion gradually blurred...

But this evil ghost full of resentment became clearer at this moment!

It is obvious that these resentful ghosts were trapped in the pagoda, and they kept repeating the tragic death scenes in their lifetime. Now the resentment has accumulated and has become a trend!

Chen Xi looked ugly, with a bit of anger between his eyebrows.

What a Kuimu wolf!

After these people died, they didn't even let them go.

What kind of hatred and resentment is this?

"Master, you deserve to die..."

The huge vengeful ghost found Chen Xi and the bone girl, and directly regarded them as those powerful masters.

Dongdongdong...

The vengeful ghost rushed towards Chen Xi and the bone girl desperately, and the ground was shaking.

The indescribable vengeance rushed towards him.

The bone girl's face changed drastically. This kind of power has already had some of the vision field that only big demons have.

"Om——"

The Dharma is passed!

Chen Xi uttered Buddhist sounds and directly broke the influence of the vengeance.

Although the vengeful ghost is strong, it is not a big demon after all.

Compared to Jin Chanzi who could beat him and couldn't find the north, this is simply at the kindergarten level.

"Died miserably in life, and can't rest in peace after death."

"It's miserable..."

Chen Xi shook his head and raised the colorful glass cup in his hand.

"I will use this fire to convert you, hoping to eliminate resentment and convert you to liberation."

After Chen Xi finished speaking, he blew it out in one breath.

The colorful glazed fire gushed out and fell on the resentful ghost and burned fiercely.

Compared to the prison keeper holding the lamp, the resentful ghost's obsession is obviously very deep!

Once the colorful glazed fire burned, it burned it and screamed continuously, and its resentment was greatly reduced.

The bone girl was horrified when she saw this.

I didn't expect that a resentful ghost as strong as he could not even get through a face-to-face encounter in front of the Buddha...

In just three or five breaths, the resentful ghost with a huge show fell to the ground with a loud thunder and a small raindrop.

It failed to cause any waves in Chen Xi's hands.

The resentful ghost's resentment and obsession were completely eliminated by the burning of the colorful glazed fire.

The densely packed mouths on its body muttered to themselves.

"When one person attains enlightenment, chickens and dogs will rise to heaven. If you are hungry and exhausted, kill the chickens and dogs first."

"Although I have worked hard for my master for half my life, chickens and dogs are just chickens and dogs after all..."

After the resentful ghost finished speaking, he turned into black smoke and dissipated with the wind.

The black and white scene around him gradually faded and regained color.

The ghost domain full of gloomy and resentful spirits disintegrated into wisps of gloomy spirits, swarming towards Chen Xi.

Chen Xi frowned subconsciously, but soon found that all the gloomy spirits had flowed into the lanterns that had fallen when he had killed the prison envoy holding the lanterns.

The gloomy spirits flowed into the lanterns and soon mixed with the yang spirits.

However, what is more peculiar is that the yin and yang spirits are incompatible and clearly separated from each other.

One black and one white, the two kinds of light seem a bit mysterious.

Although Chen Xi did not know what the yin and yang spirits were used for, it was definitely right to collect them first.

Even if it is useless, it is good to keep it as a collection.

He shook his head, suppressed his thoughts, and did not waste too much time. He immediately called the bone girl to find the entrance to the next floor.

The bone girl saw Chen Xi's methods and was obviously more respectful.

Perhaps to make up for the previous poor performance.

The bone girl volunteered and worked extra hard.

The jade ruyi emitted a faint light, illuminating the dark second-floor pagoda.

Not long after, the bone girl found the entrance to the second floor.

The door was also closed!

Chen Xi swung his Zen stick down, and the door broke into pieces on the spot.

They all stepped into the third floor of the pagoda, and this time there was no movement.

Chen Xi came back to his senses, squinted his eyes, and looked around.

Everything that came into his sight made him raise his eyebrows.

The third floor of the pagoda was full of traces of burning.

There were some broken weapons, armor, and prayer beads all over the ground.

All of these objects were burned black without exception.

On the tower wall, there were broken diamond carvings and Buddha statues.

While these Buddha statues were burned black, some were smashed and some were splattered with blood, which looked particularly creepy.

"Oh? There are murals..."

Chen Xi looked around and saw a mural on a certain tower wall.

Although most of the mural was burned black, some of the content could still be vaguely seen.

Among them, the one that caught Chen Hao's attention the most was a mural depicting a man in yellow robe.

The man in yellow robe was born handsome and handsome, with a dignified appearance.

Wearing a magpie-tail crown on his head, dark clouds are gathering.

Wearing a jade pleated dress with wide sleeves.

The black boots under the feet are folded with flowers, and the Luan belt around the waist is bright.

Feng Shen is really a strange man, tall and handsome.

In the mural, the man in yellow robe is surrounded by hundreds of officials and people, pointing to the sky with one finger.

The sky is covered with dark clouds and marked by rain.

In the murals, the people are smiling and the land is full of green.

"This...Kui Mulang?"

Although the mural was broken, Chen Yi recognized Kui Mulang at a glance.

After all, in the entire Baoxiang Kingdom, who else could fit the characteristics of the characters on the murals except Kui Mulang.

But if it is Kui Mulang, what does this mural mean?

If Chen Yi understood it correctly, what the mural said should be that the weather was smooth and the people loved it.

But this seems to be somewhat different from what he learned?

Chen Ye thought about this and immediately asked about the bone girl.

"What's going on with the Kui Mulang on this mural?"

When the bone girl heard this, she was also curious.

She thought about it for a while, then spoke.

"The Bodhisattva once said that when Kuimulang came to earth, he was greedy for the glory and wealth of the world."

"So he bewitched the king of Baoxiang Kingdom at that time and became the national advisor of the country."

"In the beginning, he still adhered to the nature of immortals and gods, which made Baoxiang country have good weather."

"Later, Kuimu Lang lost his temper and began to eat people wantonly, causing chaos in Baoxiang Kingdom."

"He yelled to be beaten and killed, and then he kidnapped the princess and became a monster."

After listening to this, Chen Ye touched his chin thoughtfully.

This is quite similar to what White Bone Bodhisattva said before.

However, White Bone Bodhisattva did not tell him about Kuimulang, who was also a national teacher in Baoxiang Kingdom.

Is there any problem with this?

Why would White Bone Bodhisattva deliberately conceal the affairs of the National Master?

Or maybe he was overly worried, and Bone Bodhisattva thought it was irrelevant, so he didn't mention it?

Chen Yi has a lot of thoughts, but he won't express them for the time being.

While walking towards the next floor with Bone Girl, he looked at the murals on the wall of the tower.

Soon, he discovered something new on a tattered mural.

Chen Yi reached out his hand and wiped the black dust on the mural. He could vaguely see a line of text on it that had been hacked twice.

He carefully identified it, and it seemed to be the reason why the pagoda was built.

In the past, there were eminent monks from the Tang Dynasty who came from the East to protect peace.

Now the pagoda is erected to suppress the demons and bring health to the whole country.

"Eastern Tang Dynasty..."

Chen Yi was thoughtful, could he be referring to the Buddhist scriptures he obtained from the West?

Judging from the meaning of this sentence, the pagoda should have been built after Tang Sanzang left and when the yellow-robed monster went to heaven to report his duties.

Chen Ye silently sorted out the time and kept it in his mind for the time being.

He and Bone Girl continued to move forward, seeing many monsters along the way.

The third layer is Yang, which is dedicated to extracting Yang energy.

The demons imprisoned here are even worse than those on the first floor.

Each and every one of them lost the energy to struggle, scream, and cry for mercy.

These demons have a very strong stench, and they all look like very evil people.

Now, their whole bodies are covered with fine scales, and they look like when Chen Hao used the power of the Dragon King.

The demons lay half-dead in their cells.

The Ganoderma lucidum herbs are planted on their bodies one after another, absorbing nutrients, and are growing gratifyingly, big and round, with faint cloud patterns on them.

Chen Bao had a dragon head on his neck and his eyes widened when he saw it.

"What a waste of natural resources and how to use orbs to grow these things?"

"In the past, when I took a pee, Ganoderma lucidum grew bigger under the mountain than here."

When Chen Yi heard what Long Jun said, he felt relieved.

I'm afraid this place is not a medicine garden created by Kui Mulang using the power of the orb.

But what does Kuimulang need these herbs for?

Immortal, or do you want to achieve enlightenment and ascend?

But does Kuimulang really need these things?

"Ho ho ho..."

Sudden!

A strange sound came from the front.

Chen Ye raised his head and suddenly looked strange.

"What the hell is this?"

At the same time, on the other side...

Shenhou cautiously walked across the first floor and stood in front of the broken door.

It listened to the vibrations coming from the tower and was amazed.

"That little brother, I don't know where he came from, but he is very capable at a young age."

"If you think about it, you can't do anything to him easily in this pagoda."

After Shen Hou said this, he was about to walk up to the second floor when his ears suddenly twitched.

He quickly lowered his body and looked back.

"Crunch——"

Only a heavy knock on the door was heard.

Shenhou's pupils narrowed and he tried his best to look towards the door.

Then I saw the door on the first floor of the pagoda opened...
