"A thousand threads transform, rain falls on Xiaoshan to sever the resentful souls; the wind clangs, gazing to the ends of the earth, lost travelers."
"Rain transforms into a thousand threads!"
"cut!"
This time, Xiao Yanbao's expression was extremely serious, and she even got the bracelet back into her hand. When Ye Ming, who was squatting on the courtyard wall, saw this move, he was so surprised that his mouth dropped open and his eyes were even a little dazed.
The whole world seemed to freeze in time, and the thunder in the sky rang out at just the right moment, with streaks of lightning seeming to cheer on Xiao Yanbao's magic.
The raindrops, which had been blocked outside the light screen, suddenly stopped, and then, as if pushed from behind by an invisible hand, they made a series of sounds that pierced the void, rushing towards the remaining wild ghosts and four fierce ghosts in the courtyard.
Upon seeing this, the group of wild ghosts began to hide, but just as the raindrops approached them, they seemed to vanish into thin air and disappeared without a trace.
Before the ghosts could rejoice, the raindrops transformed into sharp arrows that pierced through the ghostly aura on their bodies and entered the minds of all the ghosts. Immediately, the ghostly flames in the eyes of all the wild ghosts were extinguished silently.
Only the four vengeful ghosts seemed unaffected, maintaining the same posture they had adopted when they charged at Xiao Yanbao.
"Splash!"
The sound of raindrops hitting the ground rang out again, indicating that the protective barrier Xiao Yanbao had used to prevent the wild ghosts from leaving had disappeared. As if they had found the ghostly aura, bolts of lightning struck towards the Li family manor as if they were free.
No one dared to resist such immense power of heaven and earth. The four fierce ghosts frantically tried to hide, but their bodies suddenly seemed to be bound and unable to move.
"The Secret Technique of Seeking Thunder: Destroy Both Soul and Spirit!"
If there weren't so many lightning bolts in the sky, little Yanbao's babyish voice would be incredibly cute.
As if summoned, the lightning serpent in the sky split into four bolts and struck the vengeful ghost, after which the entire world fell into silence.
Meanwhile, in a farmhouse courtyard ten kilometers away, the old woman known as the Witch Doctor suddenly frowned, and then, like a cat spotting a mouse, grabbed the three child-like ghosts on the sofa and rushed out the door.
"Run!"
The puppet standing in the rain immediately carried the old woman on its back and then ran with all its might. In one step, it was already more than ten feet away, and in just a few breaths, it had left the village.
However, right after Master Wu left, wisps of black smoke suddenly rose from the dry well in the courtyard. If Xiao Yanbao were here, he would surely have discovered that the black smoke was all ghost energy, even more condensed than the ghost energy on the lazy ghost that Gao Ping had transformed into.
"Ho ho! That old woman is finally gone, I can finally get some fresh air."
Just as he popped his head out, Ye Ming suddenly turned his head toward the dry well, and then flashed into the farmhouse courtyard.
However, Ye Ming did not rush to show himself. Instead, he hid in the void and quietly watched the ghostly figure in front of him that kept changing shape.
"I haven't been out in the world for a year, how come these humans have cleaned this place up so thoroughly? They deserve to die!"
As the shadowy figure spoke, the once clean and tidy rural streets suddenly became overgrown with weeds, and even animal droppings and rotting rat carcasses appeared in the middle of the road.
A stench assaulted the mouths and noses of the sleeping people. If they hadn't already fallen asleep, they would have fainted from the shock of what they saw.
"It's still so comfortable like this. This is how the world should be. No, no, I'm exhausted. I need to find a way to shut these people up."
"Should we kill them all?"
Ye Ming suddenly spoke, but did not appear. The lazy ghost, who was transforming back into its original form, was overjoyed and exclaimed:
"Yes! Yes, yes! We have to kill them all. If we kill them all, this world won't be messed up anymore, and I can live a comfortable life forever."
At this point, the Lazy Ghost waved his hand, scattering countless amounts of black liquid outside the courtyard. Soon, bursts of stench exploded in all directions. Ye Ming frowned, covered his nose, and sighed as he looked at the Lazy Ghost who still refused to use his brain.
Then, Ye Ming completely contained the black liquid that was about to spread, and then slowly spoke:
"You're still the same as before? Then why did you betray the Underworld?"
As soon as Ye Ming mentioned the word "underworld," the Sloth Ghost seemed to be electrocuted, his body trembled violently, and then his head turned 180 degrees to his back.
Who the hell are you?
He didn't recognize Ye Ming, who looked like a little boy, until Ye Ming revealed a hint of pressure, and in an instant, the lazy ghost seemed to have become a different person.
"Greetings, Lord Yama! I'm just lost, I'll get down now!"
As he spoke, the Lazy Ghost dashed into the well with a whoosh, like a 100-meter sprinter, but the well had already been sealed off by Ye Ming.
Did I let you leave?
The lazybones clutched the large bump on his head, looking utterly miserable as he stared at Ye Ming, his murky tears falling to the ground with a series of splattering sounds.
"Grandpa Yama, I really did get lost, really! You know I'm notoriously lazy, how could I possibly betray the Underworld? I'm just too lazy to move!"
Ye Ming found it strange. It was normal for other evil spirits to escape from the underworld, since they all took pleasure in toying with humans. But the lazy ghost was different, because he was the laziest ghost in the entire underworld, without exception.
Seeing Ye Ming remain silent, the lazy ghost was overjoyed. It seemed that the ruthless Yama who killed ghosts had listened to what it said. It then wanted to come over and show its loyalty, but found that its soul was constantly dissipating.
The lazybones immediately became anxious and spoke up:
"Lord Yama! Lord Yama! I have crucial information, please spare my life!"
Ye Ming did not stop what he was doing. It was as if the Sloth Ghost's body was being erased from the world bit by bit with an eraser. A feeling of despair filled the Sloth Ghost's heart.
"I know the Coward is about to appear. Could you give me a chance to help you find him?"
Upon hearing the Sloth's words, Ye Ming's mind raced slightly. A coward? If this stinking fellow could really help him find him, it wouldn't be unreasonable to spare his life for now.
After all, the coward is the most difficult of the seven to eliminate. Even if he were to appear in the world, he would do so secretly and would not dare to emit the slightest aura of evil spirits. He would not even show his face in the human world.
"Oh? You know his location? You two don't seem to have any prior connection, do you?"
The lazy ghost immediately spoke:
“We came to the human world together. Given his personality, he certainly wouldn’t be wandering around. He must still be hiding in that spot. If I go to find him, he will probably see me.”
The Sloth Ghost is right. If the Coward only knows one ghost, it must be the Sloth Ghost, because he knows that the Sloth Ghost is too lazy to harm him.
