Guan Jiyue has been causing trouble outside for many years. Although he is very powerful, there are times when he is injured and unable to fight against the evil forces. He has been able to live safely over the years thanks to the fact that the monsters in Yang Street are grateful.
This also led to Guan Jiyue being very concerned about the monsters in Yang Street, in addition to her own white camellia monster.
She is extremely cruel to ghosts, but very friendly to monsters.
The third house on the east side of Yang Street is a civet cat den. The youngest cat in the civet cat den is called Du Ruoyi. She has only been in human form for a few hundred years, and is only a teenager according to the age of monsters. In addition, she is stupid and often can't even maintain her human form. Guan Jiyue's family has a field of precious medicinal herbs in the backyard. Because of special means of irrigation and planting, the spiritual energy is abundant. Whenever Guan Jiyue is at home, Du Ruoyi will always transform into a white cat and shrink into her arms, begging her to take her to the medicinal field to practice, so they have a good relationship.
She had sneaked out to play before and was even caught and sold as a pet cat. Since then, her elders in the family have not allowed her to leave the street.
Yang Street is not a place where the dead can go. After encountering a large number of ghosts surrounding the street seventy years ago, people are very wary of the appearance of ghosts. If a ghost appears in Yang Street, it will definitely alarm all the monsters in Yang Street. Ren Qiao has obviously never been to Yang Street, but Guan Jiyue smelled the scent of Du Ruoyi on her. Not only Ren Qiao, but also Jin Banwei has a lighter scent.
Ren Qiao is the most special ghost Guan Jiyue has ever encountered. Considering her hostility towards ghosts, it was already very good that she didn't kill Ren Qiao, let alone take the initiative to talk to her. If she hadn't smelled Du Ruoyi's scent, she would not have come over. Instead, she unexpectedly appreciated Jin Banwei's methods, which were not as weak as she imagined, but of course not strong either.
Guan Jiyue was surprised that they smelled like Du Ruoyi, and Jin Banwei was also very surprised that the cat was actually Guan Jiyue's.
But she was clearly not someone who would deal with ghosts, and even evil ghosts could not receive special treatment from her.
Jin Banwei was full of doubts: "Isn't that cat a talisman cat? Miss Guan can also use the power of ghosts?"
"What did you say?" Guan Jiyue was stunned and grabbed Jin Banwei's arm: "Speak clearly."
The fingers touching the skin were trembling slightly. Even a strong man like Guan Jiyue would get scared sometimes, just like at this moment he was afraid of hearing the news of his friend's death.
Jin Banwei had no animosity towards Guan Jiyue, and quickly told Guan Jiyue about her encounter with the white civet cat today.
Despite Guan Jiyue's cold personality, she still asked questions thoroughly, fearing that she would miss any details. But no matter how detailed her questions were, Jin Banwei didn't have much to say, as they had not been in contact with the white cat for long.
After listening to Jin Banwei's story, Guan Jiyue breathed a sigh of relief. She let go of Jin Banwei and angrily scolded, "You are really a stupid cat. You actually separated your soul."
Jin Banwei understood what Guan Jiyue meant. The white cat they encountered was not the soul of the little demon lured out from the underworld, but the soul of Du Ruoyi, the spirit cat from Yang Street. The method of drawing beasts to lure souls only required one soul, not a complete soul.
Monsters have three souls and seven spirits just like humans, but monsters are not as fragile as humans. Even if they have one less soul, it will not have much impact on them, but their abilities will be weakened a lot. Therefore, if they don't use Yin, a living monster can achieve the same effect by taking out one soul and putting it into the painting.
But even if she was willing to lend her soul, it would not be successful without a sorcerer to paint the picture for her.
This is not only a method that only warlocks can use, but also a method that only powerful warlocks can use.
Jin Banwei looked at Guan Jiyue suspiciously. Guan Jiyue snorted coldly, "What are you looking at me for? The painting was indeed my work, but she told me that she wanted to try what it was like to be in the painting. Who would have thought that she would be so stupid as to give her soul away."
She just glanced at Guan Jiyue and didn't ask anything, but Guan Jiyue confessed on her own.
Guan Jiyue seemed less indifferent when she felt guilty.
Jin Banwei took the opportunity to speak: "Miss Guan, I have answered so many of your questions, and I hope you can promise me one thing."
Guan Jiyue didn't want to owe anyone a favor, so when she heard Jin Banwei's words, she agreed without thinking: "Well, go ahead."
Jin Banwei glanced towards the center. A few people had already pulled out their souls from underground. The souls were emitting a light green light and were difficult to condense into a complete human form. A strong wind suddenly blew up, and tiny cracks appeared on the ground. An endless stream of black gas emerged from the ground. The cold wind blew the black gas and it quickly dispersed to every inch of land in the barrier.
When my nostrils moved slightly, all I could smell was smoke and rotting flesh.
Niu Tou was guarding behind Li Guichu, the leader of the Sanqing Taoist sect. Seeing this, his face gradually became solemn. He waved the steel fork in his hand, and the black mist dissipated for a moment, but soon condensed again.
The sound of the howling wind and the screams of ghosts became louder and louder. Although Niutou appeared, he could not contribute much to the salvation, so in the end he had to go back to the old path of the original book. Jin Banwei's eyes were blinded by the sand and soil swept by the wind. She closed her eyes and subconsciously touched Ren Qiao beside her: "Sister Ghost."
Ren Qiao had already arrived beside her. She approached Jin Banwei, pried open Jin Banwei's eyelids with her fingertips, and blew gently, and Jin Banwei's eyes were healed.
Jin Banwei took out a small paper tiger that she had folded a long time ago and placed it on Ren Qiao's shoulder: "Sister Ghost, keep this little tiger. It can protect you from the influence of those evil ghosts."
"Okay." Ren Qiao responded repeatedly.
Guan Jiyue was not wrong. Ghosts were indeed very unstable factors. They could be easily controlled by sorcerers and easily affected by the hostility of their own kind. Although Ren Qiao was very special, Jin Banwei did not dare to take the risk easily.
After Jin Banwei's horizons were broadened, she not only mastered new abilities, but also realized how terrible the dangers they would face were.
To the best of her ability, she could give Ren Qiao a certain possibility to avoid danger. This was what she could do. After all, it was nonsense to protect the unfathomable Ren Qiao with her strength.
She is very self-aware.
Guan Jiyue waited for Jin Banwei to open her mouth to state the conditions, but unexpectedly she got a mouthful of dog food. She sneered, slightly ironic: "I didn't expect you to be a considerate person."
Jin Banwei thought Guan Jiyue was complimenting her. She held Ren Qiao's hand and smiled, "How can a husband not think about his wife?"
Guan Jiyue's face darkened a little, and her lips tightened: "You'd better tell me what you want me to agree to."
She was reminding Jin Banwei that her patience was about to run out.
Jin Banwei stopped joking with her and said in a very serious tone: "I hope that no matter how desperate the situation is, you will prioritize preserving your own strength."
"reason."
Jin Banwei took a deep breath and said, "Although you hate ghosts and even hate them to the core, I have something to say. Sometimes, living people need to be guarded against more than ghosts."
Guan Jiyue didn't make a sound for a long time.
The black gas became thicker and thicker, gradually forming a black cloud. The barrier became darker and darker. It seemed that they were all about to be swallowed by the darkness. Only the talismans and the Buddha's light could illuminate one side.
Just at this moment, a huge and ferocious ghost head emerged from the clusters of black clouds. He grinned and glanced at the living people present with greedy eyes.
"Not good!" Niu Tou exclaimed, kicked his feet and flew towards the black cloud.
Before he arrived, a shrill scream came from the crowd surrounding the circle: "Ah!"
"Anping!" Two more voices exclaimed, and the people gathered together became chaotic and stopped what they did. The light of the talisman and the Buddha's light instantly dissipated, and the barrier was completely immersed in black fog.
Jin Banwei held Ren Qiao's hand tightly and said, "Sister Ghost, don't be afraid."
It wasn't Ren Qiao who was afraid, but her.
There was a cold breath lingering around her ears, and there were shadows passing by her. Her body trembled uncontrollably, and her legs became weak. Ren Qiao patted the back of her hand soothingly: "Xiao Jin, don't be afraid, I will protect you."
Li Guichu's voice rang out in the darkness: "Don't panic, everyone. Let's put the seal back first and think of another solution."
Huiyin, the nun from Jianzhao Temple, also quickly echoed, "Yes, if the hole is not sealed properly, those evil spirits will probably swarm out, and that would be very troublesome."
The two largest forces present spoke up, and the others followed suit, but the brief period of stability did not last long.
"Master, Master, the table screen has been eaten!"
The situation that had been barely under control was thrown into complete chaos by this shout.
Someone was eaten!
Jin Banwei held Ren Qiao's hand closer, and her other hand was also searching in the bag, but without light, it was a bit difficult for Jin Banwei to find things.
The restless crowd became more and more noisy, with one scream after another. Most of them were young people who followed their master. Guan Jiyue finally spoke up: "A mob."
Her tone was as cold as ever, but her actions were no slower.
The area around Jin Banwei suddenly lit up. She looked in the direction of the light and saw that Guan Jiyue had taken out twelve lamps. The lamps were different from ordinary lamps. They were white, like fine white jade, but much colder than white jade. Even without the lights on, the lamps were already emitting a silvery-white glow, as if the bright moonlight was shining on the lamps.
The Guan family’s twelve spirit bone lamps.
This treasure is used by the heroine no more than twice in the original book, but it has a very strong presence.
The Guan family has always been the backbone of Yang Street, and their ancestors had a very good relationship with monsters. The transformed monsters are full of treasures, especially those big monsters that have lived for thousands of years, whose bones and blood are even more precious. These twelve spirit bone lamps are made of the bones of different monsters. Unlike the previous robbery by living sorcerers, these twelve monsters were all willing to be made into magic tools by the Guan family before they died.
Most of them are demons who have received favors from the Guan family and are willing to protect the Guan family after their death. Some are even demon wives married by the Guan family's ancestors, or husbands who married into the family. They are willing to let their souls follow their lovers to reincarnate, and leave their bones and blood to protect their descendants.
The number of the twelve spirit bone lamps increased slowly. The last time the number of lamps was increased was for the four guardian gods of the Guan family who died seventy years ago. The youngest of them was a thousand-year-old monster, and the largest was the half-dragon, with nearly twenty thousand years of cultivation.
There is a reason why Guan Jiyue is always being targeted. Just these twelve spirit bone lamps have made countless people jealous.
The Twelve Bone Lamps first appeared in this place in the original book. In the end, three of them were destroyed, four were stolen, and the heroine escaped with the remaining five.
Everything happened according to the original book. Jin Banwei wanted to stop it, but her ability was not enough to pacify the ghosts who were agitated by these people's forced salvation, not to mention that Guan Jiyue might not listen to her.
Guan Jiyue threw out a talisman, and all the twelve spirit bone lamps lit up with flames of different colors, emitting a faint fragrance. Seeing that Guan Jiyue was about to release the spirit lamps, Jin Banwei couldn't help but stop her: "Miss Guan, you should at least put a few tracing talismans on the spirit bone lamps, so that if they are stolen, you will know who did it."
The tracing talisman is the most common method in the book, a kind of basic talisman. Its main function is to leave some specific breath, which will make it easier to find the item once it is lost.
There are people everywhere who are after her things, so she should be a little careful.
"Not prepared."
Guan Jiyue answered lightly, and Jin Banwei was so angry that her teeth ached. She took out a thick stack of yellow and white paper with the word "soul" printed on it from her bag and handed it to Guan Jiyue: "This is soul-chasing paper. The soul-chasing paper is divided into yellow and white. Stick the yellow paper on the lamp and keep the white paper for yourself. If someone touches your lamp, you will know it first and get his blood."
"As long as there is blood, it should be easy to find him with your methods."
Guan Jiyue didn't take the paper, but glanced at Jin Banwei coldly: "Should I believe you?"
Jin Banwei's mouth twitched, and her teeth hurt even more. She clenched the bamboo paper in her hand and tried to raise a warm and friendly smile: "But you can't trust anyone here, right?"
If we compare who is more irritating, Jin Banwei would also point it out.
Guan Jiyue's face froze visibly. She glanced towards the darkness and silently accepted Jin Banwei's kindness.
There are too many people with bad intentions, and Guan Jiyue understands it.
"I find you quite interesting. I wanted to kill your wife last night and threatened you, but you were not angry and even helped me." Guan Jiyue took the paper and suddenly asked, "Could it be that you don't actually love your wife, but are secretly in love with me?"
She asked sincerely, and Jin Banwei became angry and embarrassed. She gritted her teeth and spread her hands: "If you don't want it, give it back to me! How could I have a crush on you? I love Sister Ghost so much!"
She spoke each word very clearly, forgetting that this was not an uninhabited place.
Ren Qiao had been held by her hand, standing beside her, and suddenly heard her affectionate confession, his eyes lit up: "Xiao Jin."
When Jin Banwei heard Ren Qiao calling her, she thought that Ren Qiao believed Guan Jiyue's speculation, and hurriedly said, "Sister Ghost, don't believe her!"
"I didn't believe Miss Guan, I understand." Ren Qiao smiled at Jin Banwei, then turned to Guan Jiyue and said, "Miss Guan, please don't misunderstand my little Jin, she has always been a very kind girl."
A kind person, a gentle ghost.
Strange combination.
Guan Jiyue shook her head and began to concentrate on pasting the soul-chasing paper. She asked casually, but they took it seriously.
Yinchai's eyesight in the dark was very good, so the change in the sky had no effect on Leng Xiangying. Leng Xiangying saw the light over here and forced back the ghosts that were circling around her, and happened to hear their conversation.
"You are so careless. There are people dying over there, and you are still in the mood to chat. Guan Jiyue, you should hurry up."
"It's not me who's going to die." Guan Jiyue sneered, "There are many of them who want me dead."
Leng Xiangying grinned: "Then just ignore them, just wait until they are all dead, then you can show off your power with your Guan family treasure."
Guan Jiyue was arrogant and stubborn, his words showed contempt for life, but his hands moved faster.
She finally finished applying all the soul-chasing talismans. She pinched a yellow talisman on each finger of her hands and muttered, "Ancestors, the sun and the moon are spiritual, the five elements are righteous, the mighty array is in the universe, the talisman is in my heart, the fairy treasure is in the sky, the demon fairy is above my head, shine all over me! Go!"
As soon as Guan Jiyue finished speaking, the talismans in her hands began to burn, and the spiritual fire turned into rays of spiritual light that flew into the Twelve Bone Spirit Lamp. The spirit lamp actually flew up out of thin air, and golden talismans surrounded the spirit lamp, flying to different directions and hovering in the air. The light became brighter and brighter, illuminating the entire barrier.
The direction where the bone spirit lamp was suspended was the crack that had just been opened in the formation. The bone spirit lamp emitted a dazzling light and sealed the cracks in an instant.
Although it is with the help of treasures, the ability to control so many treasures at the same time can also highlight the heroine's extraordinary talent.
Those black clouds had actually transformed into ghosts, and were fighting with the warlock. The warlock, who had just fallen into darkness, had no advantage, but after regaining the light, he gradually gained the upper hand.
Only with the illumination of the bone spirit lamp and the suppression of the seal, there were more fiery gazes in the scene of the battle between humans and ghosts.
There are countless people who are jealous of such treasures.
Jin Banwei nervously noted down those people who showed greed, thinking about taking Ren Qiao away from these people later. Guan Jiyue was calm and composed. She sneered and suddenly said to Jin Banwei: "Jin Banwei, your request just now was too light. Let me think of a better one for you."
"From now on, as long as I don't die, you and Ren Qiao will not die here."
She smiled, which was very rare, and threw a green bead to Jin Banwei: "Let your wife take it."
After Guan Jiyue finished speaking, she jumped up and headed towards the chaos in the center. Dozens of yellow talismans were already on her palms, and the lowest ghost pattern had three ghost patterns.
Jin Banwei had a bad premonition, and she quickly patted the head of the paper tiger on Ren Qiao's shoulder. The paper tiger opened its mouth. Jin Banwei stuffed the emerald green bead into it, and the paper tiger's mouth closed.
Sure enough, her hunch was right.
She had just placed the emerald green bead on the bridge when Guan Jiyue finished reciting the incantation. As she finished reciting the incantation, the talisman in her palm flew into the air and scattered on different bone spirit lamps. In an instant, the light of the bone spirit lamp turned into a blazing black flame, which sprayed towards the ground indiscriminately. The black flame was surrounded by light golden Taoist characters. The ghosts that were touched by the black flame were quickly swallowed up by the black flame if they had low cultivation, while the more powerful ghosts were wrapped in the black flame and entangled by the Taoist characters. They covered their ears and fell to the ground in agony, their bodies being burned into Yin water bit by bit.
With the blessing of the twelve bone spirit lamps, the black flames swept over, as if to burn the entire barrier.
"Cursed Fire Talisman!" Not only the ghosts changed their expressions, but the ghost messengers also changed their expressions. Guan Jiyue's operation was an indiscriminate attack. This high-level talisman could cause considerable damage to the ghost messengers.
Leng Xiangying yelled angrily: "Guan Jiyue, you're a lunatic!"
When she hurriedly dodged the black flames, the bull head was already beside her: "Xiangying, you are not burned, are you?"
The bull head pulled her up and was about to reach out to grab Ren Qiao, but she found that the black flames were completely avoiding Ren Qiao and she didn't even need to dodge.
How could Leng Xiangying not understand why? She said, "Brother Niu, don't worry about Ren Qiao. She's fine even if we are burned to death."
After Leng Xiangying finished speaking, Niutou lifted Leng Xiangying up and threw her on his shoulder. He moved quickly and grabbed Cheng Lanyi with one hand, sitting her on his other shoulder. He used his free two hands to grab a few Yin envoys and floated them higher into the sky, higher than the Bone Spirit Lamp, so that the flames could not burn them.
Yin Miao and Lu Tong were much stronger. Not only could they float to a position higher than the Bone Spirit Lamp, but each of them could capture two Yin Envoys. As for the Yin Envoys who had no one to pull them back, they were left running around the barrier.
Niu Tou had no more hands, so he could only frown and said, "It would be better if these living people were not here. Otherwise, with my methods, I would have dealt with them long ago, and there would be no chance for the Guan family kid to get his turn."
It is undeniable that Minotaur does have such ability.
Not to mention Niu Tou, even Lu Tong and Yin Miao, who are ranked high among the Yin Cha, have such ability, but if they use their methods to the fullest, they will definitely hurt living people.
Leng Xiangying glanced down. With the help of the twelve bone spirit lamps, the area below was like a sea of fire. Guan Jiyue was extremely cruel and didn't care about their lives at all.
But is Guan Jiyue the only one among the people below who has such ability?
Leng Xiangying retracted her gaze and said to Niu Tou, "Brother Niu, do you believe that Huiyin and Li Guichu are also thinking that it would be better if we dead people were not here?"
Li Guichu also knows how to use talismans like the Curse Fire Talisman. Although he doesn't have the Bone Spirit Lamp and can't use such exaggerated power, he has practiced for decades more than Guan Jiyue, and he also has more gorgeous methods. Not only him, but also Huiyin. I don't know the abilities of others, but Li Guichu and Huiyin also have the means to quickly pacify such a situation. However, the methods of Yin and Yang can cause great harm to ghosts, even the Yin messengers are no exception. They can't be like Guan Jiyue who doesn't care about the life and death of the Yin messengers of the underworld.
We still have to find a way to separate the sorcerer and the ghost, otherwise no one will be able to give their full strength and sooner or later they will die in this damn place.
As the flames grew stronger, the sound of chanting Taoism could be heard in the barrier. The power of the Fire Curse Talisman was fully revealed at this moment. The solemn and majestic sound of the chanting made Lu Tong irritated. He was a little speechless: "It's really annoying to hear this too much."
Niu Tou also agreed. He looked down and asked Leng Xiangying, "Don't you have to worry about your secret weapon?"
"It's okay. The little ghost from the Guan family gave her a bead."
All of them knew Guan Jiyue. Yin Miao's eyes widened in surprise, and the fine wrinkles at the corners of her eyes widened a little: "Guan Jiyue cares about ghosts? Then why didn't she give it to you?"
Leng Xiangying wanted to ask more. If they really had to compare, she had known Guan Jiyue longer than Ren Qiao. In the early years, Guan Jiyue's attitude towards her was very good. The only reason she was not burned to death by her now was because Leng Xiangying had a strong backing.
She said rather frustratedly: "Who knows, maybe it's because I don't have a wife like Ren Qiao who can be liked by the little ghost of the Guan family."
