Li Tianxin, who was fighting those 'evil ghosts' on one side, saw Zhuge Mingyu's head fall to the ground, and his eyes suddenly widened.
"Why not kill?"
Jiang Ran gave him a strange look: "Keep it for the New Year?"
"...What should we do with these people?"
As Li Tianxin said this, he slashed an 'evil ghost' away with a backhand knife:
"Were they all killed?"
"That's not necessary."
"No need? If you kill Zhuge Mingyu, how will these people return to normal? At least they have to find an antidote, right?"
"Antidote?"
Jiang Ran smiled:
"There is no need for any antidote, they are not poisoned... they are poisoned.
“Poison alone cannot do this to make so many people obey your words and appear to have lost all their sense.
"Only Gu can do it.
"The [Ten Thousand Poison Policy] clearly states it, don't you know?"
"I……"
Li Tianxin seemed stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "How would I know?"
"good."
Jiang Ran nodded, reached out and touched Zhuge Mingyu's arms. After a moment, he took out a small flute that was only about two and a half inches long:
"It's Gu Flute. So, one of them should be the 'Lost Soul Gu' of the Flute Clan.
"It's interesting...a group of pretenders fell for this thing. They really complement each other."
After saying this, he wiped the Gu flute, brought it to his lips and tapped it lightly.
An extremely small sound suddenly came out.
The group of 'evil ghosts' who were still risking their lives and rushing forward suddenly stopped and gradually regained their consciousness.
Looking around, I was confused for a moment:
"This is where?"
"It seems to be the royal palace..."
"Why are we here?"
"Prince Jade summoned us, saying he had something to give us, but after drinking a cup of tea, why are we here?"
"No, how could we be here without Lord Ghost King's summons? What should we do if Lord Ghost King blames us?"
In an instant, the entire venue was buzzing with discussions.
The Infernal Ghost King stared in all directions and glanced at Jiang Ran. Jiang Ran waved to him, looking quite happy.
"..."
The Infernal Ghost King took a deep breath and immediately shouted softly:
"Quiet, how dare you be so presumptuous in front of this throne?"
As soon as these words came out, voices immediately flowed from all directions.
Everyone who heard this movement felt their hearts tighten. After coming back to their senses, they quickly knelt down on one knee:
"See Lord Ghost King!"
There were so many people that after the people on the inner floor knelt down, the outer ones just realized what was happening and knelt down one after another, shouting loudly.
There are three floors inside and three floors outside, and the sound of "seeing" is endless.
At first glance, it really looks like the King of Ten Thousand Ghosts.
"This is quite a momentum."
Jiang Ran clicked his tongue in admiration.
"Are you envious?"
Li Tianxin glanced at him.
Jiang Ran shook his head:
“It’s better to keep it simple. The more people you have, the more things you need to be responsible for.
"The pressure will be great... It's far better to just have a few people roam the world, go on tours and explore secrets, punish rapes and eliminate evil, it will be more carefree and happy."
"Tian Shang Que, Zuo Daozhuang, Wuxin Ghost Mansion, and the Demon Sect... they probably don't think this way."
"So they are stupid."
Jiang Ran stood up and looked back at Ruan Yuqing:
“I’m busy every day, and I don’t know why.
"For money? Isn't it enough to spend enough?
"For power? The greater the power, the more things need to be done. After working hard and plotting for a lifetime, is it just to die from overwork?
"As for women... pursue whoever you like, rob if you can't get them, steal if you can't get them..."
"kindness?"
Li Tianxin felt that what he said before was fine, but why did he suddenly become irrelevant later?
"Who are you going to steal?"
He raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiang Ran with squinted eyes.
Jiang Ranyile said: "I just said casually, I am a gentleman, how could I do that kind of thing? The main meaning is that where sincerity leads to gold and stone."
"It's full of nonsense... Whoever's daughter you fall in love with is just unlucky."
When Li Tianxin said this, he frowned and glanced at Jiang Ran again as if he was confused.
Jiang Ran stared at the battle between Ruan Yuqing and the others.
Bi Chenzi was a famous figure in the world many years ago, and his martial arts was extremely powerful.
Fortunately, Ruan Yuqing and that rotten gambler were not ordinary people, and with the cooperation of the six dice weirdos, they were on a par with Bi Chenzi.
Just looking at this posture, I probably need to fight for a while longer.
Just as the sound of footsteps came from beside him, Jiang Ran looked up and saw the Ghost King Wujian standing with his hands behind his back:
"Aren't you going to help?"
"Nvxia Ruan can handle it on her own."
Jiang Ran said: "Moreover, she seems to be quite obsessed with Bi Chenzi."
The persistence was not said by Ruan Yuqing, but Jiang Ran saw it from the edge of her sword.
The sword in Ruan Yuqing's hand now is a bit like the sword Ye Jingshuang used when he killed Tong Wanli.
That persistence is vividly displayed as the sword moves forward, showing the intention of never giving up until the sword is killed.
The Infernal Ghost King nodded slightly and said in a deep voice:
"Since you entered this place by mistake, broke into my palace tonight, and started a fight with me, I won't argue with you.
"When the things here are over, take your people and leave quickly. Don't disturb the peace of my ghost palace."
"peaceful?"
Jiang Ran smiled:
"I don't know what the Ghost Palace was like in the past.
"But whether the Ghost King's Palace can be peaceful in the future is still a matter of uncertainty.
"After all, if Zhuge Mingyu can know the location of your ghost palace, others may not know it.
"Zhuge Mingyu said eight of the twelve generals in Fusheng left that year, leaving four for you.
"Now, three of the four have betrayed and died.
"The only bad gambler who didn't betray me is leaving with me.
"In Nuoda's Ghost Palace, you are the only ghost king left in charge. From now on, you will have to do everything by yourself... Can you be busy? If there is a little storm and twists and turns, I'm afraid that you, the Ghost Palace, will have to be removed from this world.
.”
He said it in an understatement, but the Ghost King of Infernal Affairs felt downcast when he heard it. He looked at Jiang Ran coldly:
"Nonsense, believe it or not, this king..."
"Say less, you can't beat me."
Jiang Ran took off the wine gourd from his waist, raised his head and took a sip.
The Ghost King's tone was stagnant. He was full of anger and had no place to vent it. The only person in the room who could let him vent his anger was Bi Chenzi, who glared at Bi Chenzi fiercely.
Bi Chenzi was concentrating on Ruan Yuqing's soft water sword. When he was concentrating, he felt a coldness all over his body, as if there were countless evil ghosts surrounding him.
For a moment, the hair on my hair stood on end and my whole body felt cold.
The whisk in his hand was originally intended to be swept away to resist Ruan Yuqing's sword, but in surprise, he quickly turned around and swept towards the empty space.
When he realized something was wrong, there was a flash of blood on his chest, which had been injured by Ruan Yuqing's soft water sword.
Fortunately, he was very skilled in martial arts, and the sword blade could not penetrate more than three points into the flesh, so he had already moved away.
Hearing the evil wind behind him, he turned around and saw a six-sided dice coming towards him.
At the same time, the Ghost King Wu Jian gritted his teeth and said:
"You don't tell me this for no reason... What do you want to do?"
Jiang Ran shook his head:
"It's nothing...it's just that I suddenly felt like it was a strange thing to live in.
"I'm just going to ask you, what's going on with that enchantment order?"
"This is the foundation of my ghost palace. How can I tell you, an outsider?"
"If you don't say it, don't say it."
Jiang Ran was playing with the Gu flute in his hand:
"Their bodies were possessed by the Lost Soul Gu. The sound I made just now was to control the Gu from attacking for the time being and restore their sanity.
"But, the worm still hasn't been pulled out.
"Now I only need to play this flute and they will obey me."
As he spoke, a dark shadow flashed across his face, Jiang Ran's hand was empty, and the Gu flute had fallen into the hands of the Ghost King Wujian.
I heard that he was very proud:
"Has the horse stumbled? Don't underestimate your opponent. Now that the Gu Flute is in my hands, what can you do to me?"
Jiang Ran curled his lips:
"Just like a child, robbing people's things...
"Besides, would you be able to use it after I robbed it? Let me tell you, if you don't use this thing properly, these people may die suddenly on the spot, making your ghost palace worthy of its name."
"you!"
The Infernal Ghost King was furious and glared at Bi Chenzi again.
Bi Chenzi had just finally regained the advantage, and now he was pressing forward step by step with a fly whisk in hand.
As a result, the feeling of fear came to mind again.
My heart suddenly tightened, and I didn't dare to chase anymore. I waved the whisk in my hand into a ball, so that no water could get into it, so as to be prepared for the wind and rain from all directions.
But nothing happened.
When I raised my head again, I heard Ruan Yuqing's Roushui Sword clattering in front of me.
Immediately he picked up the fly whisk, and the tip of the sword suddenly rose into the sky.
At the same time, he flew out a kick and kicked away a dice monster who wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to attack.
But suddenly I realized something was wrong...
Why didn’t Ruan Yuqing retreat?
Turning around again, he saw a flash of green light coming from above, and with a hiss, it stabbed directly into his shoulder.
But the tip of the sword that he had thrown away suddenly bent, fell from top to bottom, and landed on his shoulder.
He couldn't help but let out a muffled groan in his mouth, flicked his finger, and pointed it at the blade. He raised his hand and struck again, and suddenly the palm of his hand was filled with green.
The green mountains are lush and hazy!
Jiang Ran gathered a cold moon nail and took it out casually.
Bi Chenzi had already made up his mind with this palm, to hurt someone no matter what, whether it was that rotten gambler or Ruan Yuqing, otherwise, tonight's battle would be endless.
Therefore, even if a rotten gambler takes the opportunity to take action and is seriously injured, he will not hesitate.
Unexpectedly, the palm hit him halfway, and there was a sharp pain in the palm of his hand.
With a sudden tilt of his head, Leng Yue's nail immediately brushed across his cheek and was nailed directly to the pillar on the side of the palace.
This time, Bi Chenzi's sanity was restored.
He immediately looked around and secretly said something bad.
Why has it become a trap now?
And the turtle that was caught was himself!
Immediately he stepped down a little, and his body was about to escape from the encirclement.
But just as he was about to jump up, his calves suddenly tightened.
When I lowered my head and looked at it, I suddenly felt the ghost of death.
What was wrapped around his ankle was Ruan Yuqing's Soft Water Sword!
After a pause, severe pain suddenly rushed into my heart, and half of my calf was swept away by Ruan Yuqing's soft water sword.
Before he could even hit the ground, a roaring sound had already come, and he knew it was the dice of that bad gambler without looking back.
This time the dice hit his waist hard, sending his whole body flying sideways.
It hit the wall of the royal palace with a loud bang, knocking a dent into the wall, and then landed with a thud, opening its mouth and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
The next moment, five weapons were already placed on his neck.
The Infernal Ghost King looked at Jiang Ran uncertainly:
"What do you want?"
"Master Ghost King, please don't get excited."
Jiang Ran chuckled:
"I'm just curious about the Ghost King's Palace. What is your place used for?
"I see that the people in this Ghost King's Palace... are all right, all right, are all ghosts okay?
"Anyway, from what I can see, they don't seem to be forcibly bound here by you."
"...Of course not."
The Infernal Ghost King frowned slightly:
"My ghost palace has been around for hundreds of years.
“In the beginning, it was just a shelter built by a group of people who had no place in the world, no place in the underworld, and no place to stand.
"If you are not a guest in the world of mortals, or a soul in the underworld, then you will become a ghost in the world.
"Afterwards, there were more and more people like this, and the Ghost Palace became bigger and bigger.
“In the end, it changed from Ghost King’s Palace to Wujian Town.
“Most people here are like this.
"We live in seclusion and don't like outsiders. If anyone strays into this place by mistake, we will scare them away.
"Even if you meet a master, you can still be rejected by the wall of obsessed ghosts.
"What you seek is nothing more than temporary peace of mind."
"So, if they want to leave this Ghost Palace, you won't force them to stay?"
Jiang Ran glanced at him.
"What's the purpose of forcing me to stay?"
The Infernal Ghost King snorted coldly:
"But if they want to leave the Ghost Palace, they have to walk around the ghost wall and forget about their past.
"What's more, I have to personally take action to erase the traces of the Ghost Palace before they can be allowed to leave."
"No wonder there are so few rumors about the Ghost Palace in the world..."
Jiang Ran nodded and glanced at Bi Chenzi, who was already being escorted in front of him:
"However, I'm afraid that the mystery behind the Mind-Bending Order has been exposed.
"The weapons of these six dice monsters all have mind-enchanting orders, but Bi Chenzi seems to be turning a blind eye to them..."
"..."
The Infernal Ghost King’s eyes were solemn and he sighed softly:
"The Order of Mysterious Heart is just a martial arts after all. Since it is a martial arts, there is a way to break it.
"This is not unusual... Moreover, since they can join forces with Prince Jade, Quan Laoqi and others, I am afraid they already know everything about the situation in the Ghost Palace."
"That makes sense."
Jiang Ran nodded and glanced up at Ruan Yuqing.
Ruan Yuqing looked him up and down, and finally smiled:
"I really thought you were injured. After all, this Ghost King is indeed no ordinary opponent. He underestimated you after all."
"Is there some grudge between Miss Ruan and Bi Chenzi?"
Jiang Ran asked casually.
Ruan Yuqing frowned slightly and pinched the center of his eyebrows gently.
Then he saw the Infinite Ghost King flick his finger, and the invisible finger force suddenly fell on the three acupuncture points on Ruan Yuqing's chest.
Jiang Ran raised his eyebrows and glanced at him.
Looking at Ruan Yuqing again, she let out a long breath:
"The weapon in the hands of this dice monster is really dangerous... Even if it's not me, it still has a lot of influence.
"Thank you, Senior Ghost King."
"snort."
The Infernal Ghost King snorted coldly: "I can't tell you the secret of the Heart-enchanting Order, but I have already told you the method of cracking it."
These three acupuncture points are the key to breaking the mind-obsessed order and preventing yourself from being affected by it.
Jiang Ran nodded:
"Lord Ghost King, I'll tell you how to use this Gu flute.
"Actually, this seems to be just a flute, but in fact it is not... The flute clan uses Gu, and each kind of Gu corresponds to a Gu flute.
"And in this Gu flute, there is actually a mother Gu hidden inside.
"It looks like he is playing the flute, but he is actually giving orders through the mother Gu..."
He didn't go back on his word, so he told the Ghost King Wu Jian in detail how to operate the Gu Flute.
The Infernal Ghost King listened attentively, and then did some operations on his own to make sure that what Jiang Ran said was true and not just lies, so he nodded.
But he couldn't help but ask:
"Is there no way to break this poison?"
"Yes."
Jiang Ran said:
"It's just quite troublesome...and, as long as you have this Gu Flute in hand, it won't be a big deal even if you don't understand it.
"The poisonous insects will not attack even if they are hidden in the brain orifices.
"Doesn't affect daily life..."
"But after all, there are some hidden dangers."
The Infernal Ghost King frowned: "It's a pity that these four people, who were born, old, sick and died, followed that person back then. Otherwise, with their abilities, mere poison would mean nothing..."
After birth, old age, illness and death, twelve generals are born?
Jiang Ran was a little curious about this:
"Are these four experts at Xinglin?"
"They are poisonous people!"
The Infernal Ghost King said: "They are not very good at curing diseases and saving people, but they know all the poisons in the world like the back of their hands, and they are very familiar with them."
"..."
Jiang Ran felt that these words sounded familiar.
Isn't this my usual impression of an old drunkard?
Twelve generals in floating life... eating, drinking, whoring, gambling, joy, anger, sorrow, birth, old age, sickness and death.
On the contrary, he is inexplicably compatible with his old drunkard.
He blinked and then frowned:
"It can't be such a coincidence, right?"
"What?"
The Infernal Ghost King heard the sound and glanced at him.
Jiang Ran was about to shake his head, but after a moment of silence, he couldn't help but ask:
"I'm going to ask...who was that big shot who left the Ghost King's Palace back then?"
"This is my secret from Wujian Town...that's all."
The Ghost King of Wujian sighed: "If it weren't for you tonight, I'm afraid Wujian Town would have changed hands.
"The person you are talking about is my uncle.
"I have never seen this person before... I only know that he is amazing and talented.
"When I was fifteen years old, I had already cultivated Wu Jian Bai Fu Tu to an extremely advanced level.
"Everyone thinks that he will definitely be the next ghost king.
"Even though it is my master, even though he is his senior brother, I have no dissatisfaction with him.
"It's just that maybe from the very beginning, he wasn't suitable to be the Ghost King.
"His favorite thing has never been martial arts..."
"What does he like?"
Jiang Ran asked a little cautiously.
"He likes to eat, drink, whore, and gamble..."
When the Infernal Ghost King said this, his voice became much softer.
