After Zhong Xiaoyan's reminder, Lin Ji discovered that the statue on the altar table did look a bit like it.
No, it's obviously exactly the same as the ghost I saw before.
Lin Ji had briefly looked at the ghost, so he could see it more clearly than Zhong Xiaoyan.
Rubbing her chin and thinking for a moment, Lin Ji looked at Zhong Xiaoyan again.
"So, I have some guesses."
"What guess?" Zhong Xiaoyan asked quickly.
Lin Ji brought Zhong Xiaoyan to the altar table and discovered that there were some candles placed beside the statue.
The same candle as the candle in the candlestick with the green fire.
"Liu Shiming said earlier that this ghost domain is a large formation, so he may not be deceiving us."
Lin Ji pointed at the black statue and whispered: "Maybe that's true, and this formation is to seal the ghost figure from before."
"So the seal was loosened and the ghost escaped?" Zhong Xiaoyan's eyes widened.
Lin Ji nodded slightly: "That should be the case. This also explains why the ghost shadow only moves in the forest but cannot leave."
He pointed to the unburned candles on the table and said: "It is possible that the seal has not been completely broken, and he cannot leave even if he wants to."
Following this train of thought, Lin Ji suddenly became enlightened.
"This statue and four candlesticks should be the means to seal it!"
"Yes, that ghost is definitely a ghost. Ghosts are souls. Some of its three souls and seven souls must be in this statue!"
Zhong Xiaoyan seemed to understand: "What you mean is that the ghost has broken the seal, but it has not completely broken it?"
Lin Ji glanced at Zhong Xiaoyan strangely, and his mind became enlightened?
"That's what it means. This also explains why it has no intelligence! If a person loses some of the three souls and seven souls, he will become comatose. In fact, this is due to the loss of intelligence and the weakening of essence."
A female voice that was somewhat familiar to Lin Ji suddenly sounded from behind the two of them, and she followed Lin Ji's words.
"But ghosts have no vitality, let alone energy, so they will only lose their intelligence."
He and Zhong Xiaoyan turned around suddenly, and then saw a masked woman walking in with a dejected Wu Nan in her hands.
"Wunan!" Lin Ji saw that Wunan's limbs and head were drooping and thought he was finished.
Who would have expected to hear Lin Ji's shout, but Wu Nan raised his head and grinned.
"This sister saved me."
While speaking, the masked woman obviously rolled her eyes, let go of her hand, and let Wu Nan fall to the ground.
"This monk is as timid as a mouse. He was still unwilling to come down with me, so I had to drag him down."
Wu Nan trotted to Lin Ji's side.
"What's going on up there? Why is this woman here?" Lin Ji asked in a low voice.
"That damn Liu Shiming wanted to attack me, and then this sister came." Wu Nan said with some excitement, "Sister is so powerful, she scared Liu Shiming away in two strokes, and then she brought me down.
"
Hearing this, Lin Ji looked at the masked woman in surprise.
Judging from the figure and voice, she was the same as the masked woman he saw in the ruins. At first, he didn't think that the masked woman was very powerful. He thought she was in the fifth realm at most, but she could be dismissed so easily.
Liu Shiming, who is in the wandering realm, is obviously at the peak of the fifth realm, if not the sixth realm.
"Thank you very much, girl."
"No need, it's just a little effort." As the masked woman spoke, she had already arrived beside Lin Ji and others and stood in front of the altar table.
She finally took off her scarf, revealing her small mouth and straight bridge of nose.
"Sister is so beautiful." Wu Nan's voice sounded.
"My name is Feng Zhiruo."
"Sister Feng is so beautiful." Wu Nan quickly changed his words.
Lin Ji looked at Wu Nan with disdain, asking what happened to this little bald donkey.
But he was right. Feng Zhiruo was indeed good-looking, and her facial features were not outstanding, but when put together, they were extremely harmonious and very attractive.
She also has a bit of a worldly temperament, which adds a bit of charm.
But at this moment, Lin Ji suddenly felt a pain in his waist.
It's Zhong Xiaoyan's little hand.
"Why are you pinching me again?" Lin Ji said dissatisfied.
"You've been looking at other women in front of me for so long, and you can still make sense?"
"What does this have to do with you?"
"I ran away from home for you, and you treat me like this?"
Lin Ji couldn't believe it. This girl turned against her faster than she could turn over a book.
But before he could refute, he saw Feng Zhiruo looking at him and Zhong Xiaoyan with great interest, and then nodded slightly and said: "This little girl is quite beautiful. You should treat others well and don't be that person who thinks otherwise.
"
After hearing this, Lin Ji simply didn't bother to explain.
Immediately afterwards, they were attracted by Feng Zhiruo's movements.
I saw Feng Zhiruo pick up the candle on the table, light it, put a few drops of wax on the candlestick, and then put the candle into the candlestick.
"What is this for?" Lin Ji was curious.
"Your previous guess was correct. This candlestick is the seal of the ghost. According to the original situation, this candle should have burned for thirty-three years before it was extinguished."
Lin Ji quickly asked: "A candle can burn for thirty-three years? Where is this place? What is the identity of that ghost?"
"There was an evil cultivator who lived more than a thousand years ago. I can't remember his name. I only remember that he was called the old madman."
Feng Zhiruo picked up the second candle and did the same thing, and said to Lin Ji: "The old madman is a person who dug out his own eyeballs and swallowed them alive in order to practice evil."
"What evil method wants to eat your own eyeballs?"
"It's just a joke. It's just that when the joke was made, the person said it categorically, and the old madman has a stubborn personality and loves to be more serious." Feng Zhiruo's face showed a bit of smile.
"After eating his own eyeballs, he discovered that this evil method was a lie, so the old man went crazy."
"I think he went crazy when he decided to slap his eyes." Lin Ji said subconsciously.
"Pfft, what you said makes some sense." Feng Zhiruo couldn't help but chuckle twice, and continued, "Since then, eyes have become a taboo for him. Whoever looks at his eyes, he thinks that person is
He was laughing at him, so he wanted to kill him."
"It just so happens that this old guy is too strong. Those who can beat him can't find him. Those who can find him are all because he was found on purpose."
This was a bit hard to say, but Lin Ji understood it.
Co-author: This old madman specializes in picking weak persimmons.
Feng Zhiruo has already picked up the third candle.
"All in all, if it hadn't been for his master, the ancestor of the Puppet Sect, who took action at that time, this old lunatic would have been able to roam free for who knows how long."
"After being defeated by the ancestor of the Puppet Sect, I found out that this old madman had practiced the evil method of seizing the body. Because I was afraid that he would escape the remaining soul, I set a seal here, annihilating his body into a statue, and sealing his soul forever.
here."
While talking, Feng Zhiruo had already picked up the fourth candle.
"Replace this last candle and this matter will be over."
