Mortal Bones

"Ghost King?"

Hearing the word "Ghost King", Xu Taiping suddenly remembered the man with the Ghost Buddha mark on his back in the picture he saw with his left eye, and the Mr. Zhu just now.

It could appear in the scene he saw with his left eye. One of the two people must be the Ghost King.

Of course, it is also possible that these two people are actually the same person.

"Is there any way to identify who is the Ghost King?"

Xu Taiping asked Chongde.

"The Ghost King has a ghost seal on his body that leads all the ghosts. In addition, he has a weakness, that is, he cannot look directly at himself in the mirror."

"Other than that, he's just like any other person."

Chongde thought carefully and then answered.

After listening to Chongde's story, it was Xu Taiping's turn to think.

What he wants to confirm now is whether Mr. Zhu is the Ghost King. If he can't be sure of this, taking unauthorized actions will definitely scare the snake.

"Master Heavenly Protector, fortunately you discovered it early. At present, these pagoda seals have not been able to climb to the sixth floor, and the power of the pagoda ghost domain has not yet been exerted. I can find a way to send you out."

After carefully sensing the power of these Ghost Buddha Seals, Monk Chongde suddenly looked at Xu Taiping with surprise on his face.

"Send me out...what about you?"

Xu Taiping looked at Monk Chongde in confusion.

"The major Buddhist temples in Izumo Kingdom all have an undying hatred against the demon monks of Huoyun Temple. It would be good even if one of them is left behind to kill one of them."

Monk Chongde said firmly.

"If I know who the Ghost King is, can I break this deadlock?"

Xu Taiping asked again.

"Master Heavenly Protector, do you really mean what you say?"

Monk Chongde looked at Xu Taiping in surprise.

"Not entirely sure, but nine out of ten."

Xu Taiping nodded.

If others say this, Monk Chongde will definitely not believe it. No one here knows better than him how hard it is to find the Ghost King, but the person in front of him is the heavenly protector appointed by the ancient Buddha Kasyapa!

"Amitabha, Lord Protector of Heaven, as we went up to the sixth floor, we said that this Ghost Buddha Seal will affect people's minds."

Monk Chongde stood up with his palms together.

Xu Taiping nodded.

"Master Heavenly Protector, the most powerful thing about this Ghost Buddha is that they have mastered a magical power called the Ghost Realm of Buddha."

"Once the magical power of this pagoda ghost realm is fully unleashed, all the monks inside will turn into evil ghosts and kill each other. Even monks in the realm of transformation will still be killed if they fall into the pagoda ghost realm unpreparedly. Pagoda Ghost Domain Control.”

"But one weakness of the Pagoda Ghost Domain is that the more people it wants to control, the longer it will take for it to fully unfold."

"And in the process of the Pagoda Ghost Realm being deployed, the Ghost King will be very weak and easier to deal with than normal."

"At this time, if you can kill or control the ghost king, this pagoda ghost realm will be destroyed."

"But the problem is that Gui Fu Tu's actions are very subtle. Very few people can detect it in advance like you, the Heavenly Protector."

"Not to mention discovering the true identity of the Ghost King."

When he said this, Monk Chongde looked at Xu Taiping with eyes full of awe.

"Master Chongde, is Guifu Tu's actions really just for killing?"

Xu Taiping changed the topic.

"Of course it's not just that. These ghost pagodas are all the minions of Huoyun Temple. Every time they appear, there is the shadow of Huoyun Temple behind them. Back then, the Izumo Kingdom was torn apart by Huoyun Temple step by step. , and the war is still going on.”

Monk Chongde replied while walking.

"That is to say, the Ghost Buddha's attack on Shiyi Zhai was also ordered by Huoyun Temple and had another purpose."

"That's right, the reason for attacking the Shili Zhai is probably because of the treasures in the Shili Zhai."

Monk Chongde nodded.

"If it's just for the treasures of Shiyi Zhai, why do you go out of your way to contact His Highness Chu Xiaoxiao?"

Xu Taiping expressed doubts about monk Chongde's statement.

"You said that the person suspected of being the Ghost King is deliberately contacting His Highness Chu Xiaoxiao?!"

Upon hearing Xu Taiping's message, Monk Chongde immediately stopped.

"Well, that person pretended to be the royal family of the Izumo Kingdom and wanted to sell the treasures in the royal family to His Highness Chu Xiaoxiao."

Xu Taiping nodded.

"It's impossible. The royal family of the Izumo Kingdom has long been completely slaughtered by the ghosts. There is no way that person is the royal family of the Izumo Kingdom."

Monk Chongde started walking again, thinking in his heart as he walked. Finally, he suddenly seemed to remember something, stopped again, and then looked at Xu Taiping with a hint of horror in his eyes:

"Xiao Monk knows what they plan to do."

"What?"

"They want to use the lives of all the monks in the Supplementary Palace and His Highness Chu Xiaoxiao to open the Wangchuan Prison deep underground in the imperial city."

"What is the Forgotten River Prison?"

"It was the founding emperor of the Southern Chu Kingdom who built the prison to seal the soul of Zhu Huai, the former war god. It was also later used to seal away evil spirits. And thirty years ago, the last war god Li Ling of Southern Chu, in order not to Let Huoyun Temple cause harm to Nanchu, and spend his whole life to seal the leader of Huoyun Temple, the demon monk Zhenwu, into the Wangchuan Prison. "

"This demon monk is truly enlightened. His magic power is only under the head of Huoyun Temple. Without him, Huoyun Temple's combat power will be reduced by at least 30%."

"It was also since then that Huoyun Temple had been peaceful for nearly thirty years. Even if it caused trouble, it would only send its minions Guifu Tu."

Monk Chongde introduced it to Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that there was such a terrifying place under the capital of Nanchu.

"And if they want to open the seal of Wangchuan Prison, the bloodline of the Nanchu royal family is the key. This should be the reason why they sent people to deceive His Highness Chu Xiaoxiao."

Monk Chongde continued.
