Chapter 149.
“Just killed?”
On one side, Li Tianxin, who was fighting those ‘evil ghosts’, saw Zhuge Mingyu’s head fall to the ground, and his eyes suddenly glazed over.
“Why don’t you kill?”
Jiang Ran strangely while looking at him, “Keep it for the New Year?”
“…… What about these people?”
Li Tianxin said while backhanding a blade, chopping an ‘evil spirit’ flying out:
“Kill them all?”
“That’s not necessary.”
“No need? If you kill Zhuge Mingyu, how will these people return to normal? At least find the antidote, right?”
“Antidote?”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“Where is the need for any antidote, it’s not like they’re poisoned …… they’ve been poisoned by parasites.
“To be able to make so many people obey what they say, and also look like they’ve lost all their sanity, poison alone can’t do it.
“The only thing that can do it is a compulsion.
“It’s clearly written on the [Ten Thousand Poisons Strategy], you don’t know?”
“I ……”
Li Tianxin seemed to be stunned, then shook her head, “How would I know?”
“Good.”
Jiang Ran nodded and reached out to touch Zhuge Mingyu’s bosom, and a moment later, took out a small flute that was roughly only two and a half inches long and short:
“It’s a compulsion flute ah, in that case, what they were hit by should be the Flute Clan’s ‘Lost Soul Compulsion’.
“Interesting …… A group of pretending to be gods and goddesses, but they were hit by this, this is really complementary.”
With these words, he wiped that compulsion flute and brought it to his lips to gently point it.
Extremely subtle sounds were emitted at once.
The group of ‘evil ghosts’ that were originally still sacrificing their lives to forget their own deaths and going forward and backward all stopped moving at once, gradually regaining their sanity.
Looking around, they were momentarily confused:
“Where is this?”
“It seems like the King’s Palace ……”
“How did we get here?”
“The Jade King summoned us, saying that he had something to command, but after drinking a cup of tea, how did we end up here?”
“No good, without Lord Ghost King’s summons, how could we come here? If Lord Ghost King blames us, what should we do?”
In an instant, the entire field was abuzz with discussion.
The Infernal Ghost King gazed at the four directions and glanced at Jiang Ran again, who then waved his hand at him, looking quite happy.
“……”
The Infernal Ghost King took a deep breath, and immediately drank softly:
“Silence, before the throne of this king, how dare you be so unbridled?”
With these words, the sound immediately flowed in all directions.
Everyone who heard this commotion had their hearts tightened, and after coming back to their senses, they hurriedly knelt down on one knee:
“See Lord Ghost King!”
There were too many people, and after the inner layer knelt down, the outer layer only reacted and also knelt down, chanting under their breath.
With three layers inside and three layers outside, the sound of ‘See you’ was unending.
At a sudden glance, it really was a bit of a flavor of ten thousand ghosts facing the king.
“This sound is not small.”
Jiang Ran tsked in admiration.
“You’re envious?”
Li Tianxin glanced at him.
Jiang Ran shook his head:
“It’s better to keep it simple, the more people under your hand, the more things you need to be responsible for.
“The pressure will be great …… far better to just a few people to break into the jungle, cruising and exploring or not, punishing the treacherous and eliminating the evil, how free and happy.”
“The Heavenly Que, the Left Road Zhuang, the Heartless Ghost House, and the Devil’s Cult …… they probably won’t be what you think.”
“So they’re stupid.”
Jiang Ran stood up and looked back over at Ruan Yuqing:
“Every day, they’re busy, and they don’t know what they’re doing it for.
“For money? Isn’t it enough to spend?
“For power? The more power you have, the more things you need to do… After a lifetime of hard work and intrigue, is it just to die of overwork?
“As for the sake of women …… like who to pursue, seek not to go to rob, rob not to go to steal ……”
“En?”
Li Tianxin feel in front of said still also also just, behind how suddenly began to not touch it?
“Who are you planning to steal?”
He raised his eyebrows and narrowed his eyes at Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran was happy: “Casually, I’m a decent man, wouldn’t I do that kind of thing? The main point is that sincerity is the key to success.”
“Full of nonsense …… who’s daughter let you look on, that is the blood luck.”
When Li Tianxin said this, her eyebrows furrowed as if she was confused and looked at Jiang Ran again.
Jiang Ran, on the other hand, gazed at the battle between Ruan Yuqing and the others.
Biduanzi was a famous figure in the jianghu many years ago, and his martial arts were extremely strong.
Good thing that Ruan Yuqing and that rotten gambler, are not ordinary people, and then there are those six dice monster cooperation, but with this Biduanzi fight a match.
Just look at this situation, probably still have to fight for a while.
Happily, the sound of footsteps came from the side, Jiang Ran looked up and saw the Infernal Ghost King standing with his arms folded:
“Not going to help?”
“Mistress Ruan can handle it by herself.”
Jiang Ran said, “Moreover, she seems to be quite obsessed with this Biduanzi.”
The point of obsession was not something that Ruan Yuqing had said, but something that Jiang Ran had seen from her sword blade.
The sword in Ruan Yuqing’s hand nowadays was a bit like the sword that Ye Shockfang had used at that time when she killed Tong Wanli.
That persistence, since this sword blade wandered between, showed the most, with the intention of never stopping until killed.
Infernal Ghost King nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:
“Since you entered this place by mistake, the matter of breaking into my king’s hall this night and also making a move with this king will not be taken into account with you.
“When this matter is over, you take your people and leave quickly, do not disturb the peace of my Ghost King Palace.”
“Tranquility?”
Jiang Ran smiled:
“How the Ghost King Palace of the past was, I don’t know.
“But whether the future Ghost King Palace will be peaceful or not is still a toss-up.
“After all, if one Zhuge Mingyu can know where your Ghost King Palace is, others may not be unclear.
“Zhuge Mingyu said the floating twelve will be gone eight years ago, leaving you four.
“Now, three of the four betrayed to death.
“The only lousy gambler who didn’t betray is coming with me.
“The big Ghost King Palace, you are left with an infernal ghost king sitting in the town, and in the future, everything must be done …… can you be busy? And then a little bit of small wind and rain, small twists and turns, I’m afraid that you this ghost king palace ah, will have to remove the name from this jianghu.”
He said lightly, but the Infernal Ghost King listened to the low aura, he coldly looked at Jiang Ran:
“Nonsense, believe it or not this king ……”
“Say less, you can’t beat me again.”
Jiang Ran unhooked the wine gourd from his waist and tilted his head back to take a sip.
The Infernal Ghost King’s tone was stagnant, full of anger, nowhere to vent it, the only one in the field that could let him out of anger after a Biduanzi, so he glared fiercely at Biduanzi.
Biduanzi is fully concentrated to deal with Ruan Yuqing’s soft water sword, is concentrating on the time, feel around the body of a cold, as if there are countless souls around the ghosts winding.
In an instant, his hairs stood on end and he was chilled to the bone.
The duster in his hand was going to sweep out and resist Ruan Yuqing’s sword, but as a result of the shock, he hurriedly turned around and swept into the air.
When he realized that it was not good, there was a flash of blood on his chest, and he had already been injured by Ruan Yuqing’s soft water sword.
Fortunately, his martial arts skills were so strong that the blade of the sword did not penetrate into his flesh for more than three minutes, and he had already moved out of the way.
Hearing the bad wind behind him, he turned around and saw a six-sided dice coming head-on.
At the same time, the Infernal Ghost King gritted his teeth and said:
“You’re not going to say this to this king for no reason …… What do you want to do?”
Jiang Ran shook his head:
“Nothing ah …… It’s just that I suddenly feel, well, like a strange commodity.
“Then I intend to ask you, what’s the matter with that mesmerizing order?”
“This is the foundation of my Ghost King Palace, how could this king tell you, an outsider?”
“If you don’t tell me, you don’t tell me.”
Jiang Ran fiddled with that compulsion flute in his hand:
“What’s in them is the Lost Soul Compulsion, that sound I made just now was to control the compulsion not to kick in for the time being and return their sanity.
“But ah, the compulsion is still not pulled out.
“Now I only need to play this flute, and they will obey me.”
As the words came out, a black shadow flashed by, Jiang Ran’s hand was empty, and the compulsion flute had fallen into the Infernal Ghost King’s hands.
Just listen to him being very pleased with himself:
“The horse lost its hooves, right? Don’t underestimate your opponent, now that the compulsion flute is in the hands of this king, what can you do to me?”
Jiang Ran skimmed his mouth:
“Just like a child, still robbing people ……
“Moreover, will you use it after snatching it? Let me tell you, if you don’t use this thing well, these people might die violently on the spot, making this Ghost King Palace of yours live up to its name.”
“You!”
The Infernal Ghost King was furious, turning to fiercely glare at Biduanzi again.
Biduanzi had easily regained the upper hand just now, and at this moment, he was pressing forward with his duster in hand.
As a result, that feeling of fear once again surfaced in his heart.
Heart immediately tightened, did not dare to chase again, hand whisk waved into a ball, water splash, defense against the eight sides of the rain.
As a result, nothing happened.
Raise his head again, just listen to the clattering Ruan Yuqing Soft Water Sword has arrived in front of him.
Immediately, the duster was picked, and the tip of the sword immediately shot up into the sky.
At the same time, he flew out a kick and sent a dice monster who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to sneak attack flying out.
But suddenly realized that something was wrong ……
Why didn’t Ruan Yuqing retreat?
Turning back again, he saw a flash of green light coming from above, and with a snort, directly poked into his shoulder.
But the tip of the sword that he had picked off suddenly curved and came from above, landing on his shoulder.
He couldn’t help but let out a muffled grunt from his mouth, flexed his fingers, pointing on top of that sword’s blade, raised his hand to strike again, and his palm was suddenly full of green.
The green mountains were stacked with a hazy meaning!
Jiang Ran was seen casually condensing a Cold Moon Nail and casually slapping it out.
Biduanzi had already made up his mind with this palm, no matter what, he had to injure someone, whether it was that rotten gambler or Ruan Yuqing, otherwise, there would be no end to this night’s battle.
Therefore, even if the gambler took the opportunity to seriously injure him, he would not hesitate to do so.
However, he didn’t want to hit this palm halfway, and his palm immediately felt a sharp pain.
With a violent tilt of his head, the Cold Moon Nail suddenly swept across his cheek and directly nailed on top of the building pillar on the side of the King’s Hall.
This time, it was considered to have knocked Biduanzi’s sanity back.
Immediately looking around, he immediately said a dark cry of bad.
How did it become a situation of catching a turtle in a jar?
And the turtle that was caught was himself!
At that moment, a little foot, the body shape will be to get out of the siege.
But I do not want this just to leap up, calves suddenly tight.
Looked down, and immediately died.
Wrapped around his ankle was Ruan Yuqing’s Soft Water Sword!
In a flash, intense pain rushed to his heart, and half of his calf was directly swept away by Ruan Yuqing’s Soft Water Sword.
Not waiting for the figure to land, the sound of whistling had already roared, no need to turn around to know that it was that rotten gambler’s dice.
This time the dice smashed hard into his waist, sending his entire body flying horizontally.
With a bang, he hit the wall of the king’s hall, knocking out a crater in that wall, before snapping to the ground, and with a mouth that opened wow, he sprayed out a mouthful of blood.
In the next moment, five weapons were already on his neck.
The Infernal Ghost King, on the other hand, looked at Jiang Ran with a gloomy expression:
“What exactly do you want?”
“Lord Ghost King shouldn’t get excited.”
Jiang Ran let out a light laugh:
“I’m just a little curious about the Ghost King’s Palace, what exactly is this place of yours for?
“I see that the people in this Ghost King Palace …… line line line line, ghost line line, right?
“Anyway, I look at them, it seems that they are not forcibly bound here by you.”
“…… Naturally not.”
The Infernal Ghost King frowned slightly:
“My Ghost King Palace has been established for hundreds of years.
“In the beginning, it was merely a shelter built by a group of people who did not stay on earth and were not accepted in the netherworld, and who did not have a place to stand.
“If you’re not a guest of the red world, if you’re not a soul of the netherworld, you’ll be a ghost of the infernal world.
“Subsequently, there were more and more such people, and the Ghost King’s Palace became bigger and bigger.
“Finally, from the Ghost King’s Palace, it became an infernal town.
“Most of the people here are in such a situation.
“We live in hiding, we don’t like foreign visitors, and when someone comes here by mistake, we scare them away.
“Even if you see a master, you can be turned away by the wall of mesmerizing ghosts.
“Seeking, it is just a moment of peace.”
“So, if they want to leave this Ghost King Palace, you actually won’t force them to stay?”
Jiang Ran glanced at him.
“What’s the point of forcibly retaining them?”
The Infernal Ghost King snorted coldly:
“But if they want to leave the Ghost King Palace, they must always be allowed to walk up a circle since the Mindless Ghost Wall and forget their past.
“What’s more, it is necessary for this king to personally make a move to erase the traces of the Ghost King Palace before they can be allowed to leave.”
“No wonder the rumors about the Ghost King Palace in Jianghu are few and far between ……”
Jiang Ran nodded and glanced at Biduanzi, who had already been escorted to the front:
“However, the mystery of the Enchanted Heart Order has only been broken.
“On the weapons of these six dice freaks, all of them have the Enchanting Heart Order, but this Biduanzi seems to be blind to it ……”
“……”
The Infernal Ghost King’s eyes were heavy as he sighed softly:
“After all, the Mystic Heart Order is only a martial art, and since it is a martial art, there is a way to break it.
“This is not rare. …… Moreover, they were able to join forces with the Jade King, Quan Laoqi, and the others, so I’m afraid that they have already known the situation of the Ghost King’s Palace for a long time.”
“Makes sense.”
Jiang Ran nodded and looked up at Ruan Yuqing.
Ruan Yuqing, on the other hand, looked him up and down and smiled at the end:
“I really thought you were injured, after all, this Infernal Ghost King really isn’t an unusual opponent, I underestimated you after all.”
“Between Miss Ruan and this Biduanzi, is there some grudge?”
Jiang Ran casually asked.
Ruan Yuqing frowned slightly and gently pinched her brow.
When he saw the Infernal Ghost King flexing his fingers, the invisible finger force instantly landed on top of the three acupoints on Ruan Yuqing’s chest.
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.
When he looked at Ruan Yuqing again, he saw her let out a long breath:
“The weapon in the hands of this dice monster is really menacing …… even if it’s not on me, it’s still quite influential.
“Many thanks to Senior Ghost King.”
“Humph.”
The Infernal Ghost King snorted coldly: “The secret of the mesmerizing heart order can’t be said, but this method of cracking it, this king has already told you.”
These three acupoints were the key to cracking the Mystic Heart Order and keeping oneself free from its effects.
Jiang Ran nodded:
“Lord Ghost King is painfully honest, then I’ll tell you the usage of this compulsion flute as well.
“In fact, this appears to be just a flute, but in reality it is not …… The Flute Clan uses compulsion, and each kind of compulsion corresponds to a compulsion flute.
“And in this compulsion flute, in fact, is hidden a mother compulsion.
“Seemingly blowing the flute, in fact, it is through the mother compulsion to give orders ……”
He also did not eat his words, so he told the Infernal Ghost King the operation method of this compulsion flute, one by one.
The Infernal Ghost King listened intently, and then operated on his own to make sure that Jiang Ran’s words were true, not a falsehood, and only then did he nod his head.
But he couldn’t help but ask:
“Could it be that there is no way to break this parasite?”
“There is.”
Jiang Ran said:
“It’s just quite troublesome …… And, this compulsion flute as long as it’s in your hand, even if you don’t solve it, it won’t be a big problem.
“The compulsion will not attack even if it is hidden in the brain orifices on weekdays.
“It does not affect daily life ……”
“But after all, there are some hidden dangers.”
The Infernal Ghost King frowned: “Unfortunately, the four of Life, Old Age, Disease, and Death, followed that person back then, otherwise, with their skills, what does the district compulsion poison count for ……”
Life, old age, sickness and death, the twelve generals of floating life?
Jiang Ran was somewhat curious about this:
“These four are the Apricot Grove masters?”
“They’re all of the Poison Road!”
The Infernal Ghost King said, “They are not very good at healing the sick and saving people, but for all the poisons under this sky, they know them like the back of their hand.”
“……”
Jiang Ran felt, how did this sound, as if it was somewhat familiar.
Wasn’t this his own usual, impression of the old drunkard?
Floating Twelve Generals …… eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, joy, anger, sadness, old age, sickness and death.
Rather, it was inexplicably compatible with his own old drunkard, ah.
He blinked, then frowned:
“It can’t be such a coincidence, right?”
“What?”
The Infernal Ghost King heard the sound and glanced at him.
Jiang Ran was about to shake his head, but after a moment of silence, he couldn’t help but ask:
“I’ll ask …… one more time about that big shot who walked away from the Ghost King’s Palace back then, what is he?”
“This is my Infernal Town’s secret story …… just.”
The Infernal Ghost King sighed, “If it wasn’t for you tonight, I’m afraid that Infernal Town would have already changed hands.
“The person you are talking about is this king’s senior uncle.
“This king has never seen this person …… only know that his person is amazingly talented.
“At the age of fifteen, he had already cultivated the Infernal Hundred Floating Diagram to an extremely profound realm.
“Everyone thought that he would inevitably be the next Ghost King.
“Even my master, though he was his senior brother, was not the least bit displeased with him.
“Only, perhaps from the very beginning, he was never fit to be this Ghost King.
“His favorite thing has never been martial arts …….”
“What did he like?”
Jiang Ran asked with some caution.
“He likes, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling ……”
When the Infernal Ghost King said this, his voice was much smaller.
It seemed to be a feeling that it was a bit humiliating.
