"The wind rises, the thunder roars!"
Lightning crackled around Si Zang, and talismans hidden beneath his sleeves flashed, repelling the falling raindrops. Si Zang then spun in mid-air before flying to Lin Feng's side: "Whatever..."
"You guys go first!"
Lin Feng, shrouded in demonic shadows, scanned his surroundings with a solemn gaze and immediately made a decision.
These powerful ghosts are much more difficult to deal with than ordinary ghosts. Let alone surrounding them, once you're entangled with one, you'll probably never have peace for the rest of your life.
"Alright!" Si Zang hesitated for a moment, but seeing the calm in Lin Feng's eyes, he immediately turned to Lu Yuan, who had just punched the Green Demon on the head, and shouted, "Kid, stop fighting, let's go!"
Panting, Lu Yuan turned around and immediately shouted, "You guys go first, I have a personal flying device!"
"Take him away." Lin Feng had no intention of discussing it. After saying this, the demonic shadow on his body intensified. He stepped onto the top of the wall, grabbed the hideous ghost that had poked its head out, and threw it out violently.
"I..." Lu Yuan seemed to be about to say something, but Si Zang grabbed him directly this time, creating a gust of wind as they continued to speed northward.
The red-haired ghost flew a distance behind, sweeping away several chasing jumping zombies and drawing everyone's attention.
In an instant, Lin Feng was surrounded by all sorts of monsters, and several malevolent ghosts were secretly watching from the shadows.
The gradually recovering demon raised its dead face, its stiff mouth opened, and countless black ash-like lips fell off as it lunged to bite.
Two jumping zombies landed out of nowhere, and a foul stench immediately enveloped the surroundings, attempting to burrow into Lin Feng's body.
Lin Feng, standing at the very center, remained motionless as he watched the enemies appear. The space around him seemed to stretch out, and suddenly a strange light and shadow spread out: "Ghost Domain!"
The demons and zombies that were about to bite him were gradually pulled away, and they stared blankly at Lin Feng, who was unharmed in the middle.
Although they didn't understand, how could they not understand the terror of the Ghost Realm? Without thousands of years of cultivation, it would be impossible to have such abilities.
Seeing the group of ghosts stop moving, Lin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. His figure was swallowed up by the rising Yin energy within the ghost realm and disappeared from their sight.
These ghosts are intelligent, but the details are indiscernible.
Hong Linggui had not reached the point where she could awaken a ghost domain on her own, nor was this the ghost domain of that ghost skin. It was only with the help of the Nightmare Space and the assistance of props that she could easily condense a ghost domain and haunted house the size of a courtyard.
After he brought that resentful ghost skin into the nightmare space, he didn't keep it for himself. Instead, he spent nearly a hundred nightmare points to exorcise it, leaving behind a few fragments of its essence, thus bringing the matter to a close.
While the Ghost Realm is indeed special and obtaining it could give him a significant advantage, it is not the outcome he desires.
Even if he did leave behind something, seemingly 'rich', he was still 'barren'. It was far less impressive than the unexpectedly left-behind spirit that allowed Hong Linggui to improve his strength and make the Yin House courtyard begin to show some of the effects of the ghost realm.
But the most important thing is the Mengjie Sponge. Louis's suggestion is to make this thing into an energy absorption device, such as combining it with a black magic book to obtain more storage capacity, or as a prison to imprison ghosts, so that ghosts can be released or juiced and devoured during battle.
These plans perfectly utilize the characteristics of the Mengjie Sponge. He did not adopt them immediately, but instead used Nightmare Points to deduce the Mengjie Sponge and set up the Yin Gathering Array!
Using the special item Mengjie Sponge as the array's core, a more powerful Yin-gathering effect can be created. Compared to setting up a normal Yin-gathering array, which requires thousands of points of materials, setting up with Mengjie Sponge is not only simpler but also more effective.
This also depleted all the points he had gained from Zhang Hu.
"Lord Ghost King!!" Three seconds later, the Qing Ghost, who had been sucked into the Ghost Domain, knelt down. Especially when he saw the vast Yin energy gradually gathering in the entire Yin House, the ghost trembled with fear.
Everything outside was isolated by light and shadow. The wind chimes gently rang, the thousand-year-old Netherworld Treasure on the table emitted a ghostly light, and the ancient script written around it, all these factors combined to make the group of ghosts so frightened that their legs went weak.
Lin Feng chuckled inwardly, not letting Hong Linggui answer them, but instead summoning the paper figures in the courtyard and lighting the lanterns on the stage.
As the surroundings became more lively, the ghosts temporarily lowered their guard and obediently followed the paper figure toward the stage.
Looking again at the hopping zombie lingering outside the courtyard, Lin Feng pondered for a moment and then ignored it.
Ghosts are sentient beings, while zombies are purely bloodthirsty. Zombies that can communicate are at least at the level of flying zombies, but those that can't communicate will die if you even touch them.
If you leave them hanging, they'll leave on their own.
"Knock knock knock!"
As the gongs and drums sounded, several paper figures with different makeup walked out onto the stage. Lin Feng, exuding a chilling aura, painted a ghost face and slowly walked to the largest table, sitting down next to the Qinggui.
A hint of displeasure flashed across the Green Demon's brows, but upon seeing the unfamiliar face, he suppressed his thoughts.
At this moment, the opera began to play, and a cold wind enveloped the surroundings. The resounding gongs and drums seemed to have an lingering echo that could not be dispelled, spreading in all directions and penetrating into every corner that no human could reach.
"Exploring Yin Mountain!"
On stage, the opera narrator announced the program, while below, shadowy figures moved about. Before anyone knew it, the area behind Lin Feng was filled with people, some standing and some sitting, all in the dark, leaving no space between them.
Lin Feng subtly shifted his body, completely oblivious to the performance on stage. However, this didn't stop him from looking around and beckoning the paper figures to bring over some offerings and refreshments.
This was a top-tier offering he arranged for Hong Linggui. It was something that even the Ghost King might not be able to see, let alone ordinary ghosts, even though it was something that could be exchanged for with points in the Nightmare Space.
The demon that was watching the green light immediately came closer, its dark eyes suppressing its desire, not daring to overstep its bounds.
"please."
Lin Feng, without any hesitation, moved closer, and She Qinggui immediately picked up a piece of pastry and put it in his mouth with delight.
You can guess the gist of it from the clues this guy provided. If he hadn't lost all his relatives, he wouldn't have chosen to lie under their corpses and transform himself into a half-human, half-ghost.
Under such circumstances, it's even less likely that he's ever tasted these things.
Not long after, the tea and snacks on the table were finished, and when another plate was brought out, the expression on the Green Demon's face naturally softened.
Lin Feng didn't say much, but smiled and gestured to the opera that hadn't finished playing on stage.
Upon closer listening, the music on stage actually had some meaning, telling the story of Judge Bao going to the underworld to solve a case.
All these connections made him think about the background of this world. There is an underworld here, and ghost soldiers and ghost messengers are not strange. There are also spells in Taoism to invite gods to possess people. But upon closer examination, this world is so chaotic, with evil spirits everywhere, that the heavenly court and the underworld seem too peaceful.
Perhaps this is the result of chaos and evil spirits, leading to the emergence of villages filled with demons and zombies.
After the performance ended, some of the ghosts that had gathered dispersed, leaving only three who looked extremely troublesome.
The Green-Eating Ghost, the Ferocious Ghost, and the Hanged Ghost.
"Why don't you two sit down and have a taste?" Lin Feng gestured, and the two ghosts, who had been eyeing the offerings for a long time, immediately floated into the seats and unceremoniously grabbed the offerings and threw them into their mouths.
Having tasted everything, the Green Demon wanted to eat more, but he put the thought aside and asked in a low voice, "Young brother, may I ask when the owner of this mansion will come out?"
Lin Feng leaned closer and replied, "I can't say for sure. I'm just a handyman, scouting for the master on weekdays. As for other matters... I dare not ask too much."
"However, my master is kind-hearted. He was born in a chaotic world and his fate was not in his own hands. Now that he has become a ghost, he has finally made it through and he still remembers the things he did in his previous life... This scene just now was dedicated to you all."
As soon as he finished speaking, the soul-summoning bell on the eaves rang once, and Lin Feng hurriedly cupped his hands towards the main house in the courtyard.
The other three ghosts were honest and dared not have any distracting thoughts in this place. In addition, the previous ghost play had soothed some of their resentment, so they were now completely convinced.
"Hehe, alright, alright, no need to be so polite. Actually, I still have some doubts about this place. Who dared to risk angering those Taoists and slaughter this town?" After Lin Feng finished speaking, the three ghosts in front of him shrank their heads and even slowed down the eating in their mouths.
