C139

I've been to this place before

I didn't dare open my eyes. I let out an instinctive scream, then flopped to the ground.

I was so scared that I didn't dare to move for a long time. I couldn't even react to what just happened! The only thing I knew was that the moment I stepped on the air, the feeling of weightlessness caused my heart to jump into my throat, and the moment I landed, my heart almost jumped out of my throat due to inertia.

Fortunately, the height wasn't high, so I wasn't injured.

When I landed on the ground, I didn't have any strength left. Even though my feet landed on the ground first, I didn't stop. I still kneeled on the ground. There was a bruise on my hand, causing me to gasp in pain. Opening my eyes and looking at my wound, I was shocked. I'm bleeding!

This is the Underworld. I still clearly remember the last time I came here with Shen Tuo, Shen Tuo's face was covered in a little bit of blood.

So when I saw the blood, I panicked. I'm on my own now, if there were a few evil spirits, I wouldn't be able to handle them! I quickly covered my wound and stood up to see if there were any ghosts around!

However, when I raised my head and looked around me, I was stunned.

I've been to this place before. Although I came in a hurry last time and just picked up something before leaving, I still remember the old man inside!

Besides, this is the third time we've met.

He was sitting on a stone table in front of me, leisurely playing a game of solo chess. Black and white covered the board, making it seem like they were evenly matched.

"Old!" I quickly brushed off the dust on my clothes and wiped the blood off my hands. Just as I was about to call out 'old man', I quickly changed my words. "Old man!"

My habit of breaking down my image with my mouth seems to need to be changed.

He turned his head and smiled at me, perhaps because I was used to seeing him, but now that I saw his two fangs, I no longer felt the fear I had when I first saw him.

He looked different in the mortal world than he had in the underworld. He must have been disguised when he saved me in the colored steel room.

However, to be honest, he still found this green-faced, fangs looking rather pleasing to the eye. I don't know why, but I felt that although the disguised face looked good, it was the opposite of his identity.

This sort of contrast was quite infuriating.

At this moment, the old man turned his gaze towards me and smiled. "Did something happen for the consort to come look for me?"

I came looking for him? I doubt it, I wanted to contact the Book of Yin and accidentally barged in, so I didn't come to look for him!

But now that I think about it, he was the one who gave me the book, and when I was in danger, he was the one who saved me, so there must be a connection between him and the book.

I hesitated for a moment before deciding to keep the truth. "I have come to consult you about something." He wanted to say that he was very obedient, and if there were any misunderstandings, it would be good for him to turn back.

The old man put down his chess piece. At this moment, Blackie, who was on the chessboard, seemed to have surpassed him in his entire life. "Speak, what is it?"

"As for the book on Yin, I want to ask you how to dispel the evil spirit sealed within the book and then transfer its power to me."

"Transfer it to you?" The old man raised his crimson eyes and glanced at me.

Did I say something wrong?

I hurriedly changed my words to a more tactful way of speaking, "About that, it doesn't have to be transferred to me. It's just that I can move it."

The old man chuckled, "You don't need to do anything if I'm just asking you to do it. Just call out his name when you're in danger, just like the little girl you sealed previously."

"However, that Skinner's Seal does not contain any soul within it. It only contains that evil energy. If I recklessly let him out, I'm afraid I won't be able to control it." My tone was extremely sincere as I said, "Therefore, I would like to ask Sir to help me. You must know how to dispel that Skinner's hostility, right?"

The old man stood up from the board and walked in front of me. "Of course I know that, but the power required to purify the evil aura is very strong. Do you think you have it?"

I was stunned. Zhao Xue didn't tell me at the beginning that she was going to have more power?

"The so-called evil aura is the will of evil that remains in the body after death. It is a kind of special ghost aura that has been accumulated over the years."

"Those with a strong hostility can even control it to kill others. Therefore, if you want to purify this kind of strengthened ghost aura, you naturally need power that can scare people with evil power. "

As the old man spoke, he paced back and forth. After he finished speaking, he looked at my face, which had tightened up into a frown. Then he smiled again and said, "Please forgive my bluntness, but I have yet to see this kind of power in you."

Of course, I know that I don't have that kind of power, but I can learn it. Besides, I contacted a book and accidentally came here because I want to learn that ability.

But even so, what if I need something like this to learn it?

I didn't rush to gain an advantage, but slowed down my pace and asked, "Then do you mean that I can't use the power of a skinwalker?"

The old man nodded, "Yes, and not just that. From what I see, you haven't even gotten rid of the evil aura that sealed the first evil ghost in the Book of Yin."

My heart jolted. "The hostility of the first evil spirit?" After she was sealed, she became one with her kindness. Now, there was no hostility? "Although she doesn't have a very good temperament, that was something she brought with her when she was alive. Is this also a form of hostility?"

He raised his head to look at the blood-red sun in the sky above his small courtyard, "These so-called evil spirits are also evil spirits. There isn't a single ghost that has been through all sorts of evil after death that doesn't have a ruthless aura. Furthermore, the Devil's Note will only seal the initial seal with power and movement, it won't eliminate the evil aura on them."

My heart chilled. I had a bad feeling about this. "What do you mean?"

"I said that you should have come here a long time ago to learn how to dispel the evil aura of ghosts. Otherwise, you might not even be able to protect the little imp that was sealed here." "Since I've been a wraith, who would be willing to be bound?" Saying that, the old man suddenly waved his hand in front of me, and a neither too big nor small image appeared before my eyes.

That was the forest Zhao Xue and I were in. My body was still quietly sitting under the tree. The surroundings were dark and shrouded in clouds. But why didn't I see Zhao Xue?

Eh? Wasn't Zhao Xue always here just now? Why is there no one here anymore?

"Did you find anything different?" The old man asked with his back to me.

"The person who was by my side the whole time … Ah, that's not right. The red-clothed resentful ghost has disappeared."

The old man was silent for a moment, then he drew a picture in the air. The scene that appeared before my eyes this time around wasn't the kind of scene that I could calmly face.

My eyes immediately widened and my face was filled with disbelief. It showed a man and a woman holding the man's arm in a shy manner, while the man was gently stroking the woman's hair.

The important thing is that the man is with the woman, I look very familiar!

Isn't that man the one who had a heart attack? Although the color of his clothes had changed and his hair had been shortened a little, but that was still Zishan's death!

And that woman, wasn't she Zhao Xue!

Didn't Zhao Xue just say that she couldn't find Zishan's death? Then why was she with Zishan now, and why did she seem so close!

As if sensing that someone was looking at him, Zishan's eyes swept around him with a pair of cold, crimson eyes, and finally fixed on us.

My mind went blank. Aside from being enraged, I was also feeling like a child who had done something wrong. I was at a loss on what to do. I didn't know what kind of expression to make. After a few steps, I suddenly had the urge to escape.

I felt like I was in the middle of a fight. I felt cold all over. I think Zhao Xue saw me too, and she even smiled at me.

Now, I know how intense the fury that filled the sky was when Chen Ziyue saw Zhao Xue holding her boyfriend's arm. She also knew why Chen Ziyue would want to kill Zhao Xue. If it was me back then, maybe I wouldn't have been as calm as Chen Ziyue.

Just like now, I really want to burn Zhao Xue's bones and scatter her ashes.

"Princess!" The old man called out to me.

I paused, and the fire in my head exploded as soon as I heard her. "Don't call me Princess!" The moment those words left my mouth, even my tears flowed.

"Are you telling me this is an illusion?" I asked the old man, gritting my teeth. In fact, even if it were true, I still hoped that the old man could trick me into saying that it was a lie, and then when I saw Zishan's death, he would tell me that it was a lie.

"It's true. But I want you to listen to me first. "

Boom! Another heavy hammer! How could I have the heart to listen to what he had to say. It was already difficult for me to remain standing and not fall down due to my entire body being paralyzed.

The old man put away the painting and looked at me. "Princess, what you saw just now was all real."

I know it's all true, so you don't have to repeat it! The old man seemed to be deliberately sprinkling salt on my wounds. His tone was very cold and even had a hint of cunning to it.

"But, Princess, please don't be upset. Listen to me first."

The elder pulled out a rattan chair from somewhere and placed it behind me before helping me to sit down. "What you saw just now was real. However, it wasn't His Highness, Sang Shen."

"I know he's trying to explain it to Sang Shen, but this reason is too unreasonable!" Other than Zi Sang who died in peace, who else in the Underworld would grow up to be like that? Or who would dare to change into the appearance of Sansa's death?

I wiped my eyes and forced myself to calm down. "You don't need to say anything, and you don't need to speak up for Sang Shen. I'm not that weak."

After the old man heard this, he actually laughed. "Wangfei really misunderstood. Do you know of Prince Zihua?"
