I have a weird dynasty

Chapter 291: Imprisoned Objects (asking for monthly ticket)
Sang Que found that everything here looked very realistic, but everything was actually ink. She only needed to scratch it with the Tokachi Stone dagger and it would turn back into ink.

Sangque pulled out an arrow. The arrow was made of ordinary wood. As time passed, it became old. Black spots like mold began to appear on it, and gradually turned into ink.

The arrowhead is Tokachi Stone, which is usually cold, but now it is getting hot, which means it is resisting the corrosive force from the surrounding area.

The accident occurred at a temporary cofferdam. The nearest village to it was the Luo brothers' village, which was renamed Xipo Village. Sang Que ran to Xipo Village as soon as possible.

At the village gate, Sang Que saw the line from the ink fountain and the talisman paper slowly burning from the edge.

When seeing these things, Sangque knew that Yaozhen must be inside.

The door could not be opened and was locked from the inside. Sang Que took two steps back and shouted towards the height.

"Haruma!"

After a while, footsteps were heard from inside, and the door was opened from the inside. Yaozhen stuck his head out and looked at Sangque with squinted eyes.

"Last time in Qinghe Town, I asked you for help. How much money did you promise me?" Yao Zhen asked.

In one word, three pitfalls.

Sang Que replied, "Last time in Bailong County, I asked you for help and promised you three taels of gold."

The answer was correct, Yao Zhen let Sang Que in and closed the door again.

There are quite a few people in the village, most of whom work here on a daily basis. Luo Danian and Luo Dayong are among them. When they saw Sang Que, Luo Danian led his men out of the house.

"Boss, you are finally here!"

Luo Danian saw the great changes that have taken place in Mingyue Mountain during this period, and had long regarded Sangque as his backbone.

"What's going on?" Sangque asked everyone.

Yaozhen first asked Luo Danian to take everyone back to the house and try not to stay outside for too long. She called Sang Que aside and said, "As you can see, we are all trapped here."

Yaozhen came here yesterday morning after hearing someone say that the river water had turned black.

Her experience was similar to Sang Que's. When she arrived, she saw that all the people who were working here were standing still. Yao Zhen used the Taoist method of opening eyes to check and found that there was an ominous black aura on these people.

She didn't dare to get close, but was still caught and hit by the painting from behind and entered here.

"I've been out exploring a few times. The world in the painting is not very large, and the outer periphery is completely dark. It's a bit like the hidden world. If you stay outside for a long time, ordinary people and objects will slowly be corroded into ink."

"It's just that the erosion process is not as fast as the hidden world. Hiding in the house can slow down the erosion. Another point is that people who are completely eroded are unaware that they are being eroded and still act like normal people. It is difficult for others to distinguish them."

When Haruma said this, Sangque raised the Tokachi stone dagger in his hand and pointed the blade at Haruma.

"Take it."

Haruma's eyes lit up, "You have a lot of good stuff on you. How big a piece of Tokachi stone would it take to carve out this dagger?"

"It's not worth much. I'll give you one when you get out." Sang Que said, and handed the dagger towards Yao Zhen again.

Yaozhen sighed, marveling at Sangque's wealth, but unfortunately Sangque had told her not to be curious about her connections, as they could still be friends.

Haruma wiped the blade with the back of her hand, and blood immediately flowed out from the back of her hand. It was not black ink.

"Are you relieved now?"

Sang Que put away the dagger and nodded. "The characteristic of ink is enough to prove that it is the No. 1 ghost. But when in Wangshan City, the No. 1 ghost didn't need to trap people in the painting. He could directly spread the ghost domain. The ink in the ghost domain could transform ordinary people into ink evil ghosts in the blink of an eye. Why do I feel that the No. 1 ghost has been weakened now?" Yao Zhen thought thoughtfully, "In fact, I have this feeling too. This painting may be some kind of object to imprison ghosts. The situation in the painting changes according to the imprisoned ghost. I have heard about some deeds of the No. 1 ghost. He loved painting when he was alive. When he died, he also painted many weird paintings in his room. Using special paintings as bait, the No. 1 ghost is very likely to be fooled."

Sangque told Yaozhen about the things happening in Wangshan City. They both knew that the top scholar ghost was a very smart ghost.

Sang Que recalled the process of being locked up, "According to your inference, the painting should have only weakened the champion ghost, not completely suppressed it. The champion ghost can still control the painting and lock up people he meets outside."

"At his level, it would be easy for him to kill us, but he didn't do anything. Could it be that he can't leave by his own ability and wants to use our hands to open a way out and help him escape?"

Sang Que subconsciously pressed the cross-body bag, and the embroidered shoes were inside, wrapped in red cloth and tied with red thread.

If this inference is correct, when she unties the red cloth, the top scholar ghost will most likely appear and snatch the embroidered shoes.

The embroidered shoes were her means of leaving here, and since they could only be used by one person and no one else could be brought along, there was no need to take them out now. She had to look for other ways first.

"Who trapped the top scholar ghost in the painting?" Sangque asked again.

Yao Zhen smiled bitterly, "I also want to know, this person must want to deal with the No. 1 ghost, and he also has the ability to imprison the No. 1 ghost."

Sang Que thought carefully and she seemed not to have seen anyone else just now. There were no living people around the temporary cofferdam, only a group of people transformed into ink ghosts and this painting.

After thinking for a moment, Sangque and Yaozhen looked at each other.

Without any communication, Sang Que knew that she and Yao Zhen were thinking the same thing.

Since the top ghost is in a weakened state here, why not try to imprison it.

After imprisoning the top scholar ghost, Sang Que can take out the embroidered shoes and leave here first, and then find a way to control the painting from the outside, or find the person who uses the painting.

That person's purpose is to imprison the number one ghost. The number one ghost can be used as an exchange to make that person release everyone.

Sang Que reached into her bag and lifted her bronze mirror a little so that Yaozhen could see the edge of the mirror.

Yaozhen understood that the most important thing to imprison a ghost is to have something to hold it as a pledge. Yaozhen was a poor ghost and did not have such a thing on him. He usually drew talismans on rags to temporarily imprison the ghost and send it to the Evil Suppression Bureau before the talismans became ineffective.

She had seen Sang Que's bronze mirror. The fourth floor could hold one evil ghost, and for the third floor and below, it seemed that there was no problem imprisoning about a hundred.

The number one ghost was once a ghost controlled by Cao Huiyuan, a ghost-walking general from Qinzhou. He was demoted from the sixth level to the fifth level. In order to escape from the Evil Ghost Department of Wangshan City, he consumed a lot of his strength. Now he is imprisoned in this painting by a mysterious person. It is very likely that he has been successfully imprisoned in the bronze mirror.

If it is not enough, Yaozhen will add another blood rune on the mirror. It will be enough to hold on for an hour or so and think of other ways.

There were still some infant spirits in Sangque's bronze mirror. After Yaozhen nodded, she could only bear the pain and swallow some of the infant spirits to replenish the hexagram that was consumed this time.

Let Yin Tong swallow what he can't swallow. Even a bland soup is better than nothing. It's better than letting it all out.

Yaozhen winked at Sangque. With the intelligence of the No. 1 Ghost, if there were people trapped in other villages, they were just ordinary people and had no value to the No. 1 Ghost.

There is a great possibility that the top scholar ghost is mixed in with the people in front of them. In the entire Mingyue Mountain, if anyone can escape from here, it must be one of Yaozhen and Sangque.

When Yaozhen was thinking about how to find the champion ghost and attack him, Sangque whispered, "No need to look for him. Just be prepared. He will appear on his own."

After saying that, Sang Que reached into the bag and pinched the red cloth wrapped around the embroidered shoes.

Yaozhen quickly held Sangque's hand and said, "Don't worry, it's easy to get hurt here. I think I have a few suspects. Wait for me in the corner over there."

See you tomorrow~
