As soon as he finished speaking, the scenery in front of Zhang Yuanqing began to ripple like water waves. This was a sign of entering the spiritual realm, but there was no spiritual realm prompt sound in his ears.

The teleportation jade talisman allows travelers in the spiritual realm to enter the spiritual realm without accepting a mission. Does this count as bypassing the spiritual realm? Zhang Yuanqing watched the ripples in front of him change from violent to stable, and the white ceiling was replaced by the deep night sky.

Under the night sky as deep as black velvet, an amusement park shining with dreamy lights operates day after day.

Cheerful music, ding-dong bells, the roar of the roller coaster... interweave to create a lively and beautiful picture.

Zhang Yuanqing waited for a few seconds, but did not receive any prompt from the spiritual realm, so he made some guesses in his mind.

At first glance, the teleportation jade talisman did bypass the spiritual realm. Using it to return to the spiritual realm copy was in a no-task state.

"At this time, if there are spiritual realm travelers in Jinshui Amusement Park, then what am I? A bug, or a dungeon boss, or nothing? Well, when my level is increased in the future, I can go back to the dungeon to show off and scare the low-level travelers." While thinking with evil taste, he took out the teleportation jade box and took out the second teleportation jade talisman.

He was just about to crush it and go to the mountain temple when he was suddenly stunned.

After using the teleportation jade talisman, he discovered that this item was a one-way teleportation item. "Then when I go to the mountain temple and return to reality, all three jade talismans will have been used up. What's the point of this experiment?"

Zhang Yuanqing had a dull expression and froze in place.

Perhaps due to inertial thinking, he instinctively believed that after entering the spiritual realm, he would naturally return to reality, and that this had always been the case in the past.

But when he found out that there was no mission when he entered the spiritual realm, he immediately realized that something was wrong. …

In addition, because I have never used the teleportation jade talisman, I am not familiar with the item and have not considered it very carefully.

After a few seconds, he bared his teeth and said, "Forget it. Now that we are here, let's go see the ghost bride and get some information about the old man."

His current strength is no longer what it used to be. With the help of props, suppressing the ghost bride is a piece of cake for him.

Zhang Yuanqing walked forward, following the route in his memory, passing through one amusement park facility after another. Soon, a group of buildings sleeping in the darkness appeared in front of him.

The roads here are retro stone slabs, with retro buildings with white walls and green tiles on both sides, in the Jiangnan style.

There was white paper pasted on the gate of the courtyard, white lanterns hung on the eaves, and the courtyard was quiet and eerie.

Compared with the Aphasia Village, the yin energy here seems very thin and soft... Zhang Yuanqing continued walking forward for a few minutes and stopped outside a large courtyard.

There are big red lanterns hanging on the eaves of this courtyard, and festive red paper is pasted on the door. It seems that the owner is holding a wedding.

“Boom boom!”

Zhang Yuanqing walked up the steps and knocked on the gate.

After a while, the courtyard door creaked open, and a cold air blew out from the gap in the door. Through the small gap, Zhang Yuanqing saw a lantern floating out from the thick darkness.

The lantern stopped behind the door, and then a ghostly hand with dark skin and black nails stretched out from the crack in the door, holding a wedding invitation.

Dark energy surged in Zhang Yuanqing's eyes, and his temperament became evil and noble. He said calmly:

"roll!"

The blue-black ghost hand trembled and silently shrank back.

The lantern floated away quickly, as if it was running away.

This is what they call "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Don't look down on the poor young man. Ghost bride, I am back... Zhang Yuanqing pushed open the gate and walked straight in.

After entering the old house, he put away his soul-devouring ability, walked around the outer hall and came to the backyard.

He looked around. The night was dark and the courtyard was quiet. Red lanterns were hung in the corridor, emitting an eerie red light, but the ghost bride did not appear.

"The last time the ghost bride appeared, she had collected all four betrothal gifts. This should be the way to summon her."

Zhang Yuanqing, who did not observe any strong Yin energy, entered the candlelit room in the backyard with a clear purpose.

The furniture in the room is all made of wood and has a retro style, similar to a woman's boudoir from the Republic of China era.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at the dressing table by the window. The bronze mirror was facing the door. The door in the mirror was closed, and the door behind Zhang Yuanqing was closed.

There is a weighing rod on the dressing table.

Walking to the dressing table, just as he picked up the scale.

The door in the mirror slowly opened, and a woman with her head down appeared in the mirror. She stepped over the threshold and sat down beside the dressing table. Then, she took off her head.

Put it in front of the table and comb your hair silently.

This scene looked terrifying and horrifying, making people's scalps numb, and it was difficult to scare newcomers. Zhang Yuanqing was frightened at first and almost screamed, but now... his eyes were filled with darkness, and he raised his hand and threw a big punching bag at him.

The palm passed through the mirror, just like penetrating an illusion, and ripples appeared.

The female ghost's head was slapped away by him and rolled far away.

Zhang Yuanqing then pulled the ghost's body out from the other side of the mirror and beat and kicked her:

"Let you scare me, let you scare me..."

The female ghost's head made a whimpering sound, conveying to him her desire for mercy.

“Bang!”

Zhang Yuanqing stepped over the threshold, closed the door, and let out a sigh of relief: "Great!"

Zhang Yuanqing then found the large jar containing the medicinal wine and opened the wooden lid. A fishy smell hit him in the face. The jar was filled with light black fish. A small ghost with an umbilical cord was swimming around in the jar. Its ghost eyes, like those of a baby bird, would occasionally raise up and look fiercely at the human who opened the jar.

A newborn calf is not afraid of a tiger... Zhang Yuanqing used the porcelain bowl he found in the room, scooped a spoonful of **, and then spit a mouthful of Yin energy into the jar.

The Yin Qi fell into the water and turned into a cute, round, and sparsely haired little funny creature. "Good son, beat it!"

Zhang Yuanqing closed the lid of the jar and strode away. From the large jar behind him, the mournful cries of the little ghost could be heard.

Then, he collected the wedding quilt and gold hairpins one by one. The moment he collected all the betrothal gifts, a strong wind blew in the courtyard and the grass and trees swayed.

"Mingming~"

A road paved with red carpet appears in the hazy night, and at the end of the red carpet is a small courtyard.

The courtyard was brightly lit with candles, and the word "喜" (happiness) was pasted on the doors and windows.

Zhang Yuanqing walked into the yard on the red carpet and pushed open the door. In the bridal chamber, beside a large bed decorated with carvings of dragons and paintings of phoenixes, sat a woman in wedding dress, with her pale, delicate hands folded on her belly.

She sat quietly and dignifiedly, her face was shrouded in a thick black cloud, and I couldn't see her features clearly. This time, she actually waited for me directly in the room... Zhang Yuanqing had goose bumps on the back of his hands, his adrenaline surged, and he entered combat mode.

Even now, when he faced the ghost bride, he still felt a slight tingling sensation on his scalp.

The ghost bride is very powerful.

But the feeling of being on the edge of an abyss was different from when he met Cai Ci. This time, Zhang Yuanqing could clearly sense her strength and see her level.

The Ghost Bride's aura was stronger than that of the Transcendent Realm, so she was able to easily kill Hengxing Wuxi.

But Zhang Yuanqing's previous understanding was wrong. She had not reached the saint realm. After all, the difference between a saint and an extraordinary person is not one level or two levels, but a big realm, which is a huge distance, a huge distance of 108,000 miles.

For those who walk in the spiritual realm, after reaching the peak of transcendence, what awaits them is promotion to saint, with no extra options.

But there is no concept of hierarchy for props and Yin objects; they can exist between the extraordinary and the saints.

"Husband, are you coming to marry me?"

There was joy in the ghost bride's voice.

The voice of the vengeful spirit cannot be heard by mortals or other professions, only the Night Wandering God can hear it.

This kind of communication is more like communication at the spiritual level.

It actually still remembers me. Her impression of me seems to be different from that of other spiritual realm walkers. Why? Is it because I am handsome... Zhang Yuanqing thought about it and said:

"My lady is right!"

As a person who is good at socializing, he certainly would not say things like "Miss, don't misunderstand me" or "Miss, respect yourself" like those hypocritical people, nor would he be like a straight man who would just say "Don't call me that"? This sentence obviously touched the ghost bride's heart. She stood up and said, "It's been a long time since we last met. My husband's cultivation has improved rapidly and he has the potential to be a dragon and a phoenix. Congratulations."

So, you think I've become stronger and my attitude has become so gentle? You weren't like this last time. Zhang Yuanqing didn't waste any words and went straight to the point:

"I know that a powerful lady once came here and asked you to find someone. Is this true?"

As he spoke, he quietly reached into his trouser pocket. If the ghost bride turned against him and attacked, or called out to the Sandaoshan Goddess, he would immediately teleport away and return to reality.

Unexpectedly, the ghost bride was very submissive, just like a married woman who follows her husband.

"The lady is looking for you, my husband."

Zhang Yuanqing was surprised: "You recognized me..."

"On the night my husband was attacked, he used the queen's tools. Although I was unable to be there, I could see everything clearly through the veil," the ghost bride replied.

The night of the attack... Zhang Yuanqing was stunned at first, then he remembered that she was referring to the night when he encountered the Black Impermanence.

Yes, at that time, because of the sudden appearance of the mysterious man, she was unable to come into reality. Wait, she saw me using the Demon-Subduing Pestle, so did she also see the appearance of the mysterious man?

Zhang Yuanqing was in high spirits:

"Did you see anything unusual at the time, such as a mysterious person appearing?" The ghost bride said softly:

"Yes, I have seen his appearance clearly. If you need it, I can let you draw it."

Zhang Yuanqing was overjoyed; "Thank you so much, madam, you are really a good wife and helper!" The ghost bride was overjoyed when she heard this.

She raised her fair and delicate hand and waved it gently. On the round table covered with red cloth, writing brush, ink, paper and inkstone appeared. The brush automatically floated up, dipped it in ink, and quickly sketched on the rice paper.

After a few minutes, the outline of a young man emerged.

Zhang Yuanqing looked at him carefully. This man had ordinary facial features and a smile on his lips. He seemed to be in high spirits, but there was an unspeakable vicissitudes of life deep in his brows.

Who is this person? Just a face is enough. When we return to reality, we can go to the Public Security Bureau for facial recognition... Zhang Yuanqing picked up the rice paper, blew thousands of ink stains, folded it, and put it in his pocket.

He believed that this face was definitely not meaningless, because before Hei Wuchang died, he shouted in fear: How could it be you, how could it be you!

This shows that Hei Wuchang knows the mysterious man, but he feels incredible about his appearance.

Since it is not a meaningless face, the mysterious person must use "it" often. Maybe this face can be found in the official or public security bureau system.

"My lady, I have something else to ask you." Zhang Yuanqing did not forget the main point and asked tentatively, "What is the attitude of that lady towards me?"

The attitude of the Goddess of Sandashan is very important, very important. If Lao Bangzi harbors anger and murderous intent towards the ant who stole his magic weapon, Zhang Yuanqing will never be able to return his soul even if he is beaten to death.

At the same time, the possibility of using the Demon-Subduing Pestle in the dungeon is also eliminated.

But if he was just angry, then Zhang Yuanqing felt that he still had a chance to kneel down and sing "Conquer".

This means there is room for maneuver.

If you really have no other options in the future, just return the magic weapon. The ghost bride said softly;

"I have pleaded for my husband before. Your Majesty claims to be a righteous god appointed by the court and is not a bloodthirsty person. As long as my husband returns the Demon-Subduing Pestle and admits his mistakes, Your Majesty can show mercy and not harm my husband's life."

Is this true? You are not lying to me... Zhang Yuanqing felt relieved after hearing this, as if a heavy weight had been lifted from his heart, but he still didn't dare to believe it.

He nodded calmly and said:

"I understand, thank you for telling me!

"It's getting late. Madam, go to bed early. I'm leaving first."

When the ghost bride heard this, the Yin energy around her was violently shaken, and she said anxiously: "Husband, wait a minute...

Her voice became aggrieved: "My husband is leaving like this? Abandoning me here?"

Ah this... Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself, my lady, we humans and ghosts have different paths. I am not a hero like Ning Caichen, so I cannot be an undead knight.

But he said: "As a husband, I would not give up my wife, but a man should have ambitions to go far and wide, how can I be relegated to this place? I really have no choice."

The ghost bride agreed very much and said:

"My husband has great ambitions, and I understand that. I shouldn't force him to stay." Zhang Yuanqing nodded slightly, thinking that he is quite sensible.

Who would have thought that the ghost bride would change the subject and say, "My husband, you can take me with you." Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but blurt out, "What?!"

The ghost bride whispered, "I know that my husband and I are from the same family and can accommodate ghosts, so you can take me away."

Zhang Yuanqing suddenly became alert: "Why do you want to go with me, madam?"

He suspected that the ghost bride wanted to lurk around him and act as a spy.

If the ghost bride said that she would obey her husband, Zhang Yuanqing would teleport away immediately. "I have been trapped here for many years, with limited access and no progress in cultivation. If it weren't for the Yin Qi bestowed upon me by the Queen, I wouldn't be where I am today. However, the Queen's move is like giving someone a fish. If I want to make further progress, it will be extremely difficult. I must find a man like my husband who is among the best among men."

The ghost bride said pitifully, "I hope my husband will have mercy on me and take me away." Do you want to be my ghost servant? Zhang Yuanqing still did not agree, but asked, "Why don't you follow the queen?"

The ghost bride complained: "I am a bride, not a maid. Besides, the queen has no intention of keeping me by her side."

What does this mean? If you follow me, you will be the bride, but if you follow Lao Bangzi, you can only be a maid? Oh, yes, being a bride is her setting.

If the ghost bride is willing to follow me, then I will accept her as my spirit servant. In this way, I will also have a powerful spirit servant. If I focus on training her in the future, she can accompany me all the way. Well, I do lack a spirit servant who can fight. After all, the little funny guy is a child laborer and is not strong enough. Zhang Yuanqing's eyes sparkled and he said:

"Okay! Then I'll take my wife with me."

He immediately walked to the table, took out the bloodthirsty blade, cut his wrist, and let the red blood flow into the inkstone.

When the blood and ink mixed and were about to overflow the inkstone, he retracted his wrist, then picked up the brush, touched the ink, and outlined the spiritual seal formation on the floor of the bridal chamber.

When refining a spirit servant, the first thing to look at is the aptitude. For a vengeful spirit at the level of the Ghost Bride, the aptitude is certainly sufficient.

The next step is to use the spirit to remove the resentment (impurities) from the resentful spirit. A spirit with overwhelming resentment cannot be directly taken as a spirit servant.

After the impurities were removed, it was the same step as the one that had been used to accommodate the little funny guy. He used his own Taiyin power to wrap and cleanse the spirit, allowing the spirit to blend with the master's spirit and imprint it. Soon, Zhang Yuanqing finished the spirit formation and signaled the ghost bride to enter the formation. The latter, wearing embroidered shoes, walked into the spirit formation with her skirt slightly moving.

Immediately, the negative energy on her body began to evaporate, like snow melting in spring, and the ghost bride let out a shrill scream.

This process lasted for a cup of tea.

The resentment of the ghost bride disappeared along with the Yin energy, and immediately, the blood and essence of the Night Wandering God contained in the spiritual formation fed back into the purer Taiyin power.

Like a blood transfusion.

When the spiritual formation dried up and lost its spirituality, Zhang Yuanqing spat out a mouthful of Taiyin power to wrap the ghost bride and swallowed it into his stomach.

He immediately closed his eyes, sensing the ghost bride in his body, and let his mental power sink down to blend perfectly with her.

After a long time, Zhang Yuanqing opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of Taiyin power.

The ghost bride reappeared, wearing a gorgeous wedding dress embroidered with golden mandarin ducks, and a pair of small embroidered shoes under her horse-faced skirt. However, her face was still covered with a thick gloomy aura and her features could not be seen clearly.

The Yin energy is still strong, but it has become purer.

"Thank you, my husband." The ghost bride bowed and said shyly, "Please, my husband, return the token of love to me."

A token of love? Zhang Yuanqing was stunned for a few seconds before realizing that she was referring to the red veil.

Immediately summon this item from the inventory.

The bright red veil has a golden "喜" character embroidered in the center and two mandarin ducks surrounding it, which is extremely beautiful.

It flew up on its own and landed on the ghost bride's head.

In an instant, the ghost bride seemed to be complete, her breath surged, and her yin energy became several times stronger. Zhang Yuanqing felt that her yin energy was close to that of the ghost doll, but it was still inferior to the evil ghost in the rouge box.

Looking at the ghost bride in a gorgeous wedding dress, Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but laugh at himself: I have a child, and now I have a bride too, can I say that I have achieved everything in one go?

He swallowed the ghost bride back into his mouth, returned to the yard, picked up the little funny boy and swallowed him into his stomach. The little funny boy, who had originally returned home happily, suddenly discovered that a big terror had come to his house, and became restless and uneasy.

Don’t be afraid, you will get used to this mother after getting along with her for a long time... Zhang Yuanqing crushed the teleportation jade talisman and visualized the scene of the single room in the villa in his mind.

The scenery went from blurry to clear. Zhang Yuanqing saw the modern decoration style and the single room in the villa he left. He returned to reality.

"The experiment of teleporting the jade talisman has failed in a sense, but I unexpectedly gained a wife, a wife with extremely high output... It's a good thing after all." Zhang Yuanqing immediately touched his trouser pocket and found the piece of rice paper was still there.

He didn't waste any time, spread out the rice paper on the table, took out his mobile phone, took a photo of the portrait, and sent it to Guan Ya.

Yuanshi Tianzun: "Sister Guan Ya, please help me check with the Public Security Bureau to see if we can match this person. Also, please help me check the database of our Five Elements Alliance."

A few seconds later, Guan Ya replied:

"The painting is quite good. It looks like it was drawn with a brush. Wait a few minutes." Of course, this was painted by my wife... Zhang Yuanqing complained about himself and replied with a thank you.

He was browsing the official forum while waiting for Guan Ya's reply.

Ten minutes later, the cell phone rang and the screen showed the incoming caller ID. It was Guan Ya.

"Are there any results?" Zhang Yuanqing answered the phone. Guan Ya whispered, "Where did you get the painting?" "Don't worry about how I got it, just tell me the result."

"I asked my colleagues at the Public Security Bureau to perform facial recognition, but they didn't find a suitable target. However, we found him in the database of the Five Elements Alliance..." At this point, Guan Ya's tone became a little strange. "This person is... the Demon Lord!"
