Chapter 1142 The Cursed Image Ball

On Lu Yang's white robe, various patterns moved to Lu Yang's chest, staring at Jin Caiwei silently.

Even if Jin Caiwei didn't look back, she could feel many eyes staring at her from behind. She was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

It's so embarrassing! After learning that Mr. Shi was from the Qiongqi tribe, Lu Yang suddenly remembered the tiger monster he encountered at the beginning.

The tiger demon in the half-step Jindan stage seemed to have the thin blood of the Qiongqi clan and was good at controlling ghosts. This is how the idiom "serving a tiger as its lackey" came about.

To be honest, the art of ghost hunting seems to be the specialty of the Qiongqi tribe.

Although she had never seen Jin Caiwei use it.

Jin Caiwei could see that Miao'er was a ghost, but her Qiongqi tribe was not the only one that knew the art of ghost-hunting, so she didn't think about her own family. Not to mention those far away, even the boy named Man Gu knew the art of ghost-hunting.

"Don't talk nonsense, do we need to increase sales in this way?" Jin Caiwei stomped her feet in anger. Her little face turned red and white. She wished she could strangle the guy named Shi, bah, the guy named Jin.

"Little Ancestor, you don't know that our photo balls are of very good quality. Not only are they large in storage and cheap, they are also strong and durable. They won't break even after ten or twenty years of use. The sales of our photo balls in Jin'an City have begun to decline!"

"In fact, we also wanted to shoot a scary-looking fantasy bubble. Miao'er and the others' movements in the photo ball were the clips I wanted to shoot, so we could test the audience's reaction."

Lord Shi was in tears. As the person in charge of Jin'an City, he was under a lot of pressure and was trying various methods.

"You can't do it this way!" Jin Caiwei gritted her teeth, wanting to pretend that this incident had never happened. "You've turned this into a weird legend!"

"What strange legend?" Lord Shi was stunned.

"It's said on the black market that a female ghost will appear in the photo-taking ball, and anyone who sees her will encounter misfortune!"

Jin Caiwei bought the photo ball based on this legend.

"So that legend you were talking about, that legend was not made up by me." Lord Shi quickly distanced himself from the matter.

"Who else could it be but you!"

"It really wasn't me, Xiao Zu. I'm also investigating this matter."

"It's really not you?"

"I swear on my life, it's not me!" Lord Shi said solemnly. Even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to lie in front of the little ancestor.

"Okay, get up. I don't think you dare to lie." Jin Caiwei said unhappily and walked straight to the hall, with Lu Yang following behind.

Lord Shi quickly took out some good tea to entertain the little ancestor and Lu Yang.

Behind the screen in the hall, several female ghosts poked their heads out and cautiously watched Lord Shi entertaining the guests. They didn't know what was going on, they only saw the omnipotent Lord Shi kneeling in front of Jin Caiwei.

"Why are all the minions you trained female?" Jin Caiwei raised her eyebrows.

"To answer your question, female ghosts are scarier than male ghosts."

"..." Jin Caiwei didn't want to discuss this topic any more.

"You just said that the legends in the black market are not the same as yours. What's going on? Did I buy the wrong Shadow Ball?"

How dare Lord Shi say that the little ancestor bought the wrong thing? He is only adding fuel to the fire. This shows that he is tired of living.

He did not answer directly, but took out a shadow ball from his storage ring.

"This is the image ball that brings bad luck. I read the contents of this image ball once, and I was unlucky for several days!" Lord Shi was a little scared when he said this. Even he, a dignified Jindan stage cultivator, fell into the trap.

"My case is still light. Those who are not as skilled as me will suffer even more bad luck after seeing it. I also heard that this kind of shadow ball is not only found in Jin'an City, but also in other cities."

"Although Jin'an Temple and other temples around the country are collecting it on a large scale, it still can't be completely collected. The most terrible thing is that some people don't believe in it and insist on seeing it."

"There is actually such a thing." Lu Yang frowned. This is no small matter.

Lu Yang took the photo ball, input spiritual energy, and played the photo ball.

At first, the projection of the shadow ball was blank, and then suddenly a female ghost with a hideous face emerged from below, which was extremely terrifying.

Lu Yang could feel a force trying to entangle him, but his immortal body condensed by the power of merit automatically rebounded and purified the force. That force also entangled Lord Shi, and Lu Yang was also purified by the way.

"Yes, this is the curse." The green lotus on Lu Yang's white robe emerged and turned into a green lotus.

Although Lord Shi didn't know Qinghe, he didn't dare to ask more questions.

Please...collect 6...9...books...!

"Just as I guessed at the beginning, the projection can spread more content, and use it to cast the curse, which has the effect of reducing luck." Qinghe said. She is the only one who understands the curse best among all people.

"If you don't understand the curse, even a Jindan stage cultivator will be affected. And this female ghost is just a symbol, she doesn't really exist."

Lu Yang nodded. The curse technique was already at a very high level, as it could affect a Jindan stage cultivator.

Even though Jindan stage cultivators can be found everywhere in the Daodao Sect, and Lu Yang even fought against a tiger demon in the half-step Jindan stage in his debut battle in the foundation-building stage, in fact, more than 99% of the cultivators cannot cultivate to the Jindan stage, and a small city may not be able to gather five Jindan stage cultivators.

"It seems that we need to investigate the source of the curse." Lu Yang said. If the curse is spread through the shadow ball, countless people may fall into the trap.

"I can't find it." Lord Shi complained to Lu Yang, "I reported this to the higher-ups a long time ago, but they have no clue. They want to trace the source back to the cursed image balls, but these image balls have passed through countless hands, especially on the black market, so the source is no longer traceable."

"Can't find it? Use the power of rules to find the source?" Lu Yang said to himself, then shook his head to reject this method.

The cursed photo ball is different from the money to buy your life.

The power of rules has a range. Yu Dao Ren is in Jin'an City, which is very close to the ancestral temple and within the range. It is obvious that the entire Buddhist country has been affected this time, so using the power of rules will not work.

"Young Master, do you have any solution?" Jin Caiwei asked anxiously. She was also responsible for casting the curse through the Qiongqi tribe's image ball, but the Qiongqi tribe had already started an investigation and had not found any results, so she could not think of a solution.

You can even say that you have no idea where to start.

"There is a way." Lu Yang nodded.

"From what Lord Shi said, there are quite a few cursed image-retaining balls circulating in the black market now."

"right."

Lu Yang smiled and said, "That's easy. Since the other party has produced a large number of Image Balls, it means that they have purchased a large number of Image Balls. If you want to buy Image Balls, you can only buy them from your Qiongqi tribe through city sales points such as Lord Shi."

"So we just need to investigate who bought a large number of the cursed image balls from the Qiongqi tribe around the time when the cursed image balls appeared, and we can lock on to the target."
