"Aren't you supposed to be lazy? You don't seem lazy at all to me."
Ye Ming looked at the lazy ghost whose eyes were darting around and asked it a question. The lazy ghost chuckled.
Since Lord Yama is speaking to me like this, he must have already promised me that as long as I don't die, I don't care about anything else. You coward, you can just accept your bad luck!
Seeing the lazybones's hesitant appearance, Ye Ming reached out and put him into his pocket before heading towards the Li family villa.
The evil aura that I sensed from Xiao Yanbao and the old man earlier did not come from this lazy ghost. Today, both the lazy ghost and the cowardly ghost were unexpected gains.
If the two people who commanded the wild ghosts to attack the Li family manor hadn't happened to have some of the Sloth Ghost's aura on them, Ye Ming might not have been able to find the newly revived Sloth Ghost so quickly.
"Lord Yama, rest assured, I will definitely find the coward. After I find the coward, could you let me continue to help you find other evil spirits?"
"We'll see when the time comes!"
Before the Sloth could speak again, Ye Ming raised his hand and patted his pocket. The Sloth, which had been put away, immediately shrank its body and dared not make any move.
As the hour of Chou approached, only a skeletal ghost remained of the hundreds of ghosts that once filled the courtyard of the Li family manor. Xiao Yanbao did not kill her immediately, but instead bound her with a chain formed from rainwater. Lightning flashed across the chain from time to time, accompanied by alarming thunderclaps.
At the same time, Ye Ming waved his hand and tossed the exorcism duo standing outside the door in front of Xiao Yanbao.
"Was the curse on my grandfather inflicted by you?"
They thought they were going to die, but the other party only asked about some kind of curse. It turned out that the curse was done by Master Wu through Gao Kexin, and the two brothers really didn't know anything about curses.
Just as the two brothers were about to speak, a deep blue flame suddenly ignited from the older brother's body, instantly engulfing the two brothers standing together. Upon seeing this, Xiao Yanbao hurriedly tried to cast a spell to save them, but was stopped by Ye Ming.
"It's no use. This is the Netherworld Black Flame, unique to the Underworld. It's used to punish Yin Gods. Any mortal who gets even a little bit of it will be annihilated, body and soul."
Xiao Yanbao watched as the two living people who had just been standing in front of him vanished into nothingness in a few breaths. His fingers clenched tightly. He had originally planned to use the two of them to track down the person behind the curse on his grandfather, but he never expected that the other party had a backup plan.
However, Ye Ming didn't seem to care at all. Seeing that Xiao Yanbao was starting to get angry, Ye Ming's lips curled up slightly, and he moved his body forward a little.
"What do you want to do by capturing her? If you don't make her soul disappear before midnight, your grandfather might suffer from serious health problems!"
Xiao Yanbao naturally knew that she had to eliminate the remaining evil spirits before the hour of Chou (1-3 AM), but now she had a new idea.
"Do not look back from the Terrace of Longing for Home, for the River of Oblivion flows backward, seek the cause and the effect, and then behead!"
Xiao Yanbao chanted the incantation very quickly and in a very soft voice. Just as the hour of Zi (11 PM - 1 AM) and the hour of Chou (1 AM - 3 AM) were about to pass, the skeleton ghost was instantly slashed by a black blade of light.
In an instant, all the causal threads connecting the skeletal ghost with the old man of the Li family converged and entered Xiao Yanbao's mind, with scenes flashing by rapidly.
"How could you use such a secret technique? She's just a powerful vengeful ghost, how could she possibly be involved with someone who can use Netherworld Black Flame?"
Ye Ming then tried to cast a spell to interrupt Xiao Yanbao, but found that his spell had no effect on Xiao Yanbao. After trying several times, Ye Ming looked at Xiao Yanbao, who was still watching the memories of the skeletal ghost, and fell into deep self-doubt.
Nearly a minute later, a glimmer of light appeared in Xiao Yanbao's eyes. Then, he chanted the incantation again towards the place where the cause and effect had disappeared. However, this time Ye Ming couldn't hear what Xiao Yanbao was chanting.
However, seeing that Xiao Yanbao seemed unaffected after reciting the incantation, Ye Ming assumed that Xiao Yanbao's spell had failed and did not think much of it.
However, in a hotel suite dozens of kilometers away, Lord Wu, dressed in casual summer clothes, suddenly groaned, his mouth filled with the metallic taste of rust.
If the vengeful skeleton was personally given to the two brothers by the shaman, then Xiao Yanbao's attack, transmitted through the causal thread, would surely have severely injured the shaman.
"Alright, don't worry. I'll go and remove the curse from the old man right away. Don't use the spells Jiang Li taught you casually in the future. Even though you have a special constitution, you'd better be careful."
Ye Ming originally wanted to say that Xiao Yanbao's cultivation level was not high enough to easily reach the foundation level, but when he thought about how Xiao Yanbao's recent spells were all quite difficult and required a high level of cultivation, it seemed that Xiao Yanbao didn't need to worry about his cultivation level at all.
Thinking of this, Ye Ming could only attribute it all to Xiao Yanbao's constitution, so his admonition could only be to be more careful in the future.
"good!"
Xiao Yanbao didn't say much, but just lowered his head and recalled the life he saw in the skeleton ghost's memories. In just a few dozen seconds, it was as if he had lived through the other person's life again, and even Xiao Yanbao's thoughts were quietly maturing.
At that moment, Li Muhao pushed open the glass door of the living room and ran over, calling out Xiao Yanbao's name.
"You're amazing! Why don't you find a few more ghosts? Let me practice some more. I want to become as good as you."
However, before Xiao Yanbao could speak this time, Ye Ming secretly glanced at Li Muhao, who was filled with admiration for Xiao Yanbao.
"You want to catch ghosts?"
Seeing Ye Ming asking him a question, Li Muhao first looked at Xiao Yanbao, then scratched his head and said somewhat reservedly:
"Grandpa Ye Ming, I really do want to catch ghosts, and I also want to catch Ultraman!"
Upon hearing the words "Ultraman," Ye Ming frowned slightly, his mind racing. However, after searching through his memories, he couldn't find anything related to Ultraman.
"However, Ye Ming did not continue to think about it. Instead, he looked at Li Muhao, who was much taller than him, and raised his hand to signal the other to squat down.
Although Li Muhao was confused, he could only obey Ye Ming's words. After Li Muhao squatted down, Ye Ming reached out and gently patted Li Muhao's head a few times.
"After you catch a ghost, what will you do with it?"
"Of course, they were eliminated."
As soon as Li Muhao finished speaking, he suddenly thought of Li Wanning and quickly waved his hands.
"No, no! I need to find out what kind of ghost it is first. If it's a good ghost, then I'll perform a ritual to help it pass on and perhaps send it into the cycle of reincarnation. If it's a bad ghost, then I'll destroy it completely, the kind where its soul is scattered to the winds!"
