Chapter 198 Two People in Memory

Ghosts are immortal.
The victory or defeat between them is just a struggle for ultimate control, and the loser will become a puzzle piece of the winner.

In the original novel, the ultimate winner of this conflict is the wish-granting ghost, and this time it probably won’t be a surprise.

Although the ghost cabinet underwent a reforging and its capabilities were enhanced by Wang Xiaoming, the ghost cabinet's supernatural strength was not improved.

The fight between evil spirits is a competition of spiritual strength, and sometimes being stronger is the key to victory or defeat.

It’s just because the supernatural powers of the ghost cabinet and the wish ghost are very similar, the duration of their rule conflict this time will be exceptionally long.

In the observation room, Zhao Kaiming was dumbfounded. Because of his connection with the wish ghost, he discovered it when the wish ghost just walked into the laboratory.

"The wish ghost actually came in! Isn't it afraid of being imprisoned?"

Just when Zhao Kaiming was still wondering what means Wang Xiaoming used to bring the wish-granting ghost into the laboratory, the conflict between the two evil ghosts began to become intense.

The shelves of the ghost cabinet were constantly decaying and falling apart, and the body of the wish ghost was gradually dyed blood red.

Zhao Kaiming also gradually understood the reason why the wish ghost was brought in - the rules. The evil ghost is powerful because of the rules, but it is also bound by the rules.

Although the wish ghost has wisdom, as long as it is still a fierce ghost, it cannot resist its own rules.

"I just don't know where that evil ghost that looks like an old cupboard came from? It can actually fight the wish ghost on equal terms. The headquarters' background is really unfathomable. The evil ghost that I originally thought was difficult to deal with is indeed vulnerable in front of the headquarters."

Zhao Kaiming stared outside. At this moment, the conflict between the ghost cabinet and the wish ghost had become intense. The ghost cabinet was no longer there, and only the wish ghost, which was stained red with blood, remained.

Now the two evil ghosts are both injured. The ghost cabinet has completely lost its form and turned into blood to invade the wish ghost.

The wish ghost no longer had the arrogance it had just now. Invaded by the blood, it had lost its ability to move and stood there motionless, as if it had frozen.

"Is it successful?" Zhao Kaiming was delighted when he saw the wish ghost whose appearance had changed drastically.

But he soon found out that something was wrong, because his connection with the wish ghost was still there, and he could roughly feel the wish ghost's state.

In his perception, the wish ghost that was about to fall into dormancy began to recover and even used its evil ghost abilities.

"Professor, the wish ghost is about to escape!" Zhao Kaiming immediately understood the wish ghost's plan. He rushed to the golden glass in the observation room and shouted loudly, trying to attract Wang Xiaoming's attention.

At this moment, the wish ghost in the field quickly became illusory and was about to disappear in the real world.

Wang Xiaoming did not hear Zhao Kaiming's reminder, but he did not let the wish ghost go, because he had already anticipated the situation.

Whether it was some plots in the novel or the results of divination beforehand, he knew that the wish ghost would disappear afterwards.

So when the wish ghost was having a conflict of rules with the ghost cabinet, Wang Xiaoming was not idle either. He set up a ritual magic in the laboratory to seal off the space and reveal the enemy.

This was the mysterious knowledge he gained from the potion when he was promoted to Sequence 5. It was a ritual magic specifically designed to besiege the enemy.

For this kind of ritual magic to work, there must be a response from a higher-level being to maintain the ritual, and there are very few situations where it can be used.

Although Wang Xiaoming does not have a high-level existence here, he has the Wilderness of Knowledge. With the blessing of the Wilderness of Knowledge, the power of this magic ritual is maximized.

When the wish ghost was about to escape, the magic ritual had just been successfully set up. Wang Xiaoming did not hesitate and immediately activated the ritual magic. With the blessing of the wilderness of knowledge, a transparent light shield enveloped the entire laboratory.

The wish ghost that had originally become transparent was squeezed out by the space like a pimple and became solid.

Seeing the wish ghost being pulled back to reality, Zhao Kaiming, who was watching the game in the observation room, felt relieved and admired Wang Xiaoming even more.

The transparent light shield was obviously prepared by Wang Xiaoming. The professor had been prepared for the wish ghost.

However, Wang Xiaoming, who was outside at this time, did not relax his vigilance, because he could see other changes in the wish ghost. Countless blood gushed out, and the original wish ghost turned into a ghost cabinet.

The blood was endless and constantly eroded the light shield, making a hissing sound. The ghost cabinet wanted to escape.

"The two evil spirits are now in a state of deep entanglement. There is no clear winner. They will only respond to external stimuli. Now is the best time to imprison them."

After understanding the situation, Wang Xiaoming smiled faintly: "It's time to end it!"

With a thought, the power from the Wilderness of Knowledge descended, and the ritual magic in front of him was directly strengthened several times. The light shield that was originally eroded by blood and seemed a little shaky instantly became solid.

"receive!"

The light shield shrank to the size of a palm in an instant and then fell into Wang Xiaoming's hand.

During the period when the light shield was shrinking, the blood water transformed by the ghost cabinet was unable to resist at all, or even if the ghost cabinet resisted, its resistance could not break the thin light shield.

Wang Xiaoming stretched the light shield and turned it over to turn it into a transparent wine glass. In the glass, blood was surging and ripples appeared, making it impossible to escape.

He shook the wine glass gently, and the blood that the ghost cabinet had transformed into was completely powerless to resist his shaking, and turned into waves of wine whirlpools.

At this moment, Wang Xiaoming was like an elegant gentleman dining at a high-end banquet and drinking fine wine.

The evil ghost was imprisoned successfully!

After pressing the door opening button of the observation room, Wang Xiaoming looked at the dazed Zhao Kaiming and signaled him that he could come out.

Seeing the evil spirit trapped in the goblet, Zhao Kaiming was confused.

Are you detained now?
What happened today was too much of a challenge to his worldview. The evil spirit that was so ferocious just now has now turned into red wine in a goblet.

This way of imprisoning evil spirits was incomprehensible to him. He had seen many ghost handlers, and most of them, when dealing with supernatural events, either collected information about evil spirits like detectives, or fought against them like reckless men.

But Wang Xiaoming is like an immortal in mythology who exorcises demons and monsters.

After coming to his senses, Zhao Kaiming understood that this was because Wang Xiaoming's strength was too strong, beyond his understanding.

In his mind, he compared Wang Xiaoming with Ye Zhen from the supernatural forum and found that Ye Zhen's strength was far inferior to Wang Xiaoming.

"This is the real Wang Xiaoming. Not only has he researched supernatural gunpowder, supernatural smoke oil, and other supernatural items, but he also possesses strength far beyond that of the top ghost masters." Zhao Kaiming walked out of the observation room, came to Wang Xiaoming and said respectfully: "Professor!"

clang--

Wang Xiaoming tapped the wine glass lightly, making a faint sound, shattering the blood that was trying to crawl out of the glass.

Then he looked at Zhao Kaiming and asked, "Can you still feel the connection with the wish ghost now?"

Zhao Kaiming first glanced at the blood in the wine glass, then closed his eyes, felt it carefully and said, "There is still a connection. Although it has weakened a lot, I can still feel the location of the wish ghost now."

"What about now?" Wang Xiaoming asked again.

He just flipped his hand holding the wine glass, and the glass disappeared in an instant.

Zhao Kaiming was immediately surprised to find that the connection between him and the wish ghost had been weakened to an undetectable level, and that this connection was sometimes present and sometimes absent. After feeling it carefully, Zhao Kaiming told Wang Xiaoming about his current feelings.

Being sent into the wilderness of knowledge and being able to feel the connection with evil spirits, Wang Xiaoming felt a little interested.

Although this connection is not stable, it is enough to show that this wish ghost is extraordinary.

The laboratory was silent. Since Wang Xiaoming did not speak,

Zhao Kaiming looked up curiously and saw Wang Xiaoming looking thoughtful. Zhao Kaiming was a little worried: "Professor, this won't affect the detention of the wish ghost, right?"

"It's okay," Wang Xiaoming came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Don't worry, this shows that the connection between you and the wish ghost is not simple. This is a good research topic."

"That's good." Zhao Kaiming felt relieved.

"What are your plans for the future?" Wang Xiaoming looked at Zhao Kaiming and said, "You are no longer a ghost rider, and you can't be the person in charge of the city."

"I'm going to go back to my hometown," Zhao Kaiming said. "When I was the head of the group, I saved some money, enough for me to have a comfortable life for the rest of my life."

"Having money doesn't mean you can spend it. After becoming a ghost rider, you must have offended a lot of people! These people couldn't do anything to you when you were a ghost rider, but now you are an ordinary person. Even with the protection of the headquarters, your life will definitely not be easy in the future."

Wang Xiaoming continued, "Follow me. After I finish studying the Wish Ghost, I will return it to you. Together with the Ghost Cabinet that is already entangled with it, you will then be an elite ghost rider who can control two evil ghosts."

"And I will specially refine these two evil spirits to ensure that they are completely under your control and will not turn you into a puppet of the evil spirits."

Zhao Kaiming opened his mouth slightly, not knowing how to answer for a moment. The conditions offered by Wang Xiaoming were really too good. How could he be so worthy of such conditions?

……

Zhao Kaiming finally agreed to Wang Xiaoming's recruitment. As Wang Xiaoming said, he had offended too many people and it was impossible for him to get away with it.

After seeing Zhao Kaiming off, Wang Xiaoming's consciousness came to the Wilderness of Knowledge. At this time, the Wish Ghost and the Ghost Cabinet were still trapped in the goblet transformed by ritual magic.

Mobilizing the power of the wilderness of knowledge, the ritual was lifted, and the goblet instantly turned into starlight and dissipated into the void. Then white flames ignited, igniting the blood floating on the sea of ​​light.

"forging!"

With the blessing of the Wilderness of Knowledge, Wang Xiaoming's forging ability has reached the level of a Sequence Four Saint. The endless forging fire decomposes the blood under his control.

call!
The blood disappeared and the wish ghost reappeared, but it was still useless. The forging fire penetrated every pore and the wish ghost was refined in an instant.

"This is the memory of a ghost rider!"

As the wish ghost was refined, Wang Xiaoming discovered a ray of spiritual light hidden deep within the wish ghost. Having experience in refining ghost cabinets, he immediately locked onto the spiritual light and learned the secret of the wish ghost's wisdom.

After looking through his memories for a long time, the real Wang Xiaoming showed a look of surprise on his face.

"When Zhong Kui was alive, he suppressed evil spirits with his majesty. The King of Sand extended his life and guarded the boundless sea. It turned out to be him!"

The Wish Ghost was transformed from a powerful ghost rider who died thousands of years ago. Perhaps due to the passage of time, there are not many memories left, and even fewer useful memories.

However, even after a thousand years, Wang Xiaoming could still feel from his memory the admiration that this ghost rider from a thousand years ago had for the two people.

They are Zhong Youdao, the reincarnation of Zhong Kui, and Li Yanshou, the King of Sand. The fame of these two ghost riders was earned through killing in that era.

Countless ghost riders have died at their hands, and countless evil spirits have been imprisoned by them.

When the wish ghost was alive, he had seen Zhong Youdao. He was a burly and strong scholar. He looked intimidating and even the evil ghost abilities could not be mobilized. Fortunately, there was an invisible field around Zhong Youdao that could suppress the evil ghost.

Coincidentally, Wang Xiaoming had also seen this person before. A few months ago, he obtained an ancient painting of an evil ghost from the White Lotus Sect in Southeast Asia. At that time, there was a portrait of this person painted on the ancient painting of the evil ghost. This portrait alone suppressed the evil ghost for a thousand years.

Later, Wang Xiaoming forged the supernatural power contained in the portrait into a coffin nail and handed it over to the headquarters.

"So his name is Zhong Youdao," Wang Xiaoming exited the Knowledge Wilderness, "He is able to suppress evil spirits without any solution. The No. 1 vault should also be left by him."

Recalling his memory of Zhong Youdao's deeds, Wang Xiaoming couldn't help but sigh that heroes emerge in troubled times. A thousand years ago happened to be the end of the Tang Dynasty and the beginning of the Song Dynasty, which was the most chaotic period in the Central Plains.

At that time, people were treated like grass. Famine, war, and plague occurred frequently. In just a few decades, by the time the Song Dynasty was established, the national population had decreased by more than 20 million. This was the darkest period in the history of the Kingdom of Ren.

The more chaotic the world was, the more people would stir up trouble. At that time, many ghost riders were greedy for pleasure and harmed the people. Zhong Youdao appeared at this time. He traveled among the people and specialized in dealing with those ghost riders who had degenerated into ghosts.

As for Li Yanshou, he was a ghost rider from the Shatuo tribe, and his activity area was not in the Central Plains. The wish-granting ghost had never seen his true appearance during his lifetime, but had only heard some legends about Li Yanshou.

It is rumored that Li Yanshou has the ability to control wind and sand. Every time he takes action, he is accompanied by wind and sand. Many supernatural events that are difficult to deal with disappear without a trace after the wind and sand blows past.

Some ghost riders who wanted to cause trouble for Li Yanshou could not even see Li Yanshou's true face. They were defeated and died in the wind and sand. Even their own evil ghosts became Li Yanshou's collection.

There are not many records about Li Yanshou in memory, nor are there any images of Li Yanshou, but based on his ability to control wind and sand and his identity as a member of the Shatuo tribe, Wang Xiaoming thought of a place - Longmen Town.

The geographical location of Longmen Town is within the sphere of influence of the Shatuo tribe thousands of years ago. At the same time, the evil ghost that appeared outside Longmen Town just happened to have the ability to manipulate the yellow sand.

"With so many coincidences coming together, there is a high probability that this is the truth. The mysterious underground passage may have been built by Sand King Li Yanshou to suppress evil spirits after his death."
