Grudge Breaker

Chapter 227: The Ghost King (Part )

"Wait, let me open it."

This was the item that Mo Tingfeng cared about most on this trip, and he intended to let Meng Mengda take a good look at it. But he remembered the vision he had when he tried to open the bundle in the Pingyang forest, so he decided to do it himself just in case.

Mo Tingfeng cast a spell to detect the package again, and found no abnormal energy, so he opened it after applying a layer of protective barrier on his hand. Although they were mentally prepared, they were still more or less surprised when they saw what was inside -

Inside was a mask that had never been seen before and was extremely strange.

The entire mask is made of the bones of some large animal. In addition to the normal eye sockets, there is also an eye on the forehead, and the three round holes are painted with dark red paint.

The mask's mouth was wide open, baring four fangs, as if it was smiling, but it made people shiver.

There are five bone buns on the top of the mask. Each bun is a mini skull if you look closely, with two black eye sockets staring straight into the depths of a person's soul.

The earlobes of the mask are fan-shaped, even longer than the jaw. Hanging on them are two vajra knots made of five-colored silk ribbons, half the length of an arm, with a vajra hanging at the end.

……

Another mask!

This mask seemed to have some special attraction, making people want to keep staring at the dark red eye sockets. Song Weichen only felt a strange and vague sound of Sanskrit ringing in her ears, calling her somewhere...

Suddenly, his heart felt warm, and something stirred inside, pulling Song Weichen back to his senses.

She looked up and saw Mo Tingfeng's fingertips glowing as he was about to stroke her temple.

"what are you up to?"

Seeing Song Weichen looking at him with clear eyes, Mo Tingfeng knew that she had solved the soul-stealing curse by herself with the power of puppet energy. Because Uncle Fei and Meng Mengda were not around, he could not ask further questions. He was secretly surprised in his heart. Not bad! The little girl has made great progress.

"There's something in your hair."

He pretended to play with her hair to cover it up temporarily.

Uncle Fei and Meng Mengda also successively broke free from the soul-stealing curse and regained consciousness.

"This mask is so weird."

Meng Mengda shook his head.

"Soul-stealing usually requires a living thing as a medium. I didn't expect that this mask, which is a dead object, could be so powerful."

“There are indeed living things up there.”

Mo Tingfeng rubbed the almost dried "dark red paint" on the eye sockets of the mask with his fingers.

"This is the blood of the ghost bats from the Far North. It has a very strong bewitching power. Start applying it on the mask at the new moon for seven consecutive days until the full moon when it will be at its maximum effect. Add the soul-stealing spell and the bewitching effect can be amplified dozens of times."

Meng Mengda suddenly realized that it was no wonder that even masters of resentment-removing like them would be possessed by evil.

"Today is the full moon. It seems that the other party has calculated the time to send a greeting gift. How can I not return the gift properly?"

Mo Tingfeng's tone was normal, but it made those who heard him inexplicably want to wipe the sweat off their foreheads.

"Mengda, use the 'Linjing Jutsu'."

"Yes."

Meng Mengda nodded seriously, looked at his hands, wiped them carefully with a handkerchief, and then touched the strange mask.
.
"Ok?"

The little fat man was puzzled. Why didn't he react? The mask had the power to bewitch people just by opening it, so why didn't it cause the earth-shattering and devastating effects he had imagined?

No response at all.

"Sir, this..."

Of course Mo Tingfeng also saw that this thing was obviously not a weapon, so it could not trigger the fat man's special skills.

Although it was a bit unexpected, there was nothing we could do.

This thing was deliberately placed in the blinding ban after the man in black escaped and the fire array burned out - it was something that was intentionally waiting for Mo Tingfeng to discover. Even the way of "saying hello" used the soul-stealing spell. This mask could not be that simple.

It seems that we need to find other ways to solve this mystery.

……

While Mo Tingfeng was distracted, Meng Mengda tried twice more, but there was no response no matter which hand he changed, or even if he put the mask on his face.

"Sir, please forgive my incompetence."

The little fat man was very disappointed, and he put the mask back into the brocade bag, intending to wrap it up. But the moment he touched the bag, he trembled as if he had received an electric shock, the whites of his eyes almost turned black, his teeth were like spikes, and he looked at the other three people with a strange smile.

I never expected that the bag skin was the hidden boss!

Song Weichen was so frightened that her legs went weak and she almost fell down. Mo Tingfeng hugged her and she subconsciously buried her head in his arms like an ostrich, not daring to look again.

After about half a quarter of an hour, Meng Mengda gradually returned to normal.

He was almost fainting, his face was pale and gray, and he sat in the chair for a long time before he came back to his senses. He actually looked smaller than before.

Uncle Fei poured him a glass of water. He drank it tremblingly, then calmed himself down before reluctantly speaking.

"It seems like it happened nearly a thousand years ago."

"A dense forest with mist that never dissipates all year round. The brocade of this bundle came from there. It was once part of the clothes of a great demon."

"This monster has three eyes. The eye sockets are dark red and deep, filled with fog and bottomless. There are two clusters of blue ghost lights with strange runes floating in the eye sockets, like the monster's eyes."

"This monster has five bone protrusions on its head, each with a miniature head. The five heads look in all directions and toward the sky. Once it sets its sights on something, nothing can escape its clutches."

After hearing this, everyone present understood that the mask was related to the "big demon" that Meng Mengda mentioned.

"This big demon... this big demon kills birds, beasts, spirits, and monsters indiscriminately."

"It was dark, as dark as the eternal night, and the great demon's slaughter began. I saw intestines flying everywhere, pools of blood mixed with minced meat on the ground, and all kinds of body parts... The misty forest was devastated by this."

"vomit……"

"I have never seen such a bloody scene. Hell... This is hell."

Meng Mengda almost felt like vomiting, but he tried hard to hold it back.

He looked at Mo Tingfeng with a very complicated expression, and after hesitating and struggling for a long time, he spoke as if he had made a major decision.

"When the first ray of sunlight shone into the misty forest, my lord, I saw you."

"Master Si Chen, I saw you next to the big demon."

"You are looking at it with a smile, and you seem to be very familiar with the great demon..."

"Mengda! Stop talking. That's all for today. You've done a great job. Thank you for your hard work. Uncle Fei, help him go back and rest."

Mo Tingfeng obviously didn't want him to continue talking.

"Also, please keep today's incident to yourself."

"Yes."

"Yes!"

Seeing that their master's attitude had changed, the two of them tactfully left.
.
"I really have no interest in the privacy of big shots...Uncle Fei, do you think Lord Si Chen will kill me?"

Meng Mengda's voice came faintly from outside the door. The volume was neither loud nor soft, and it was hard not to suspect that he was not speaking to Uncle Fei at all.

"What nonsense are you talking about, kid? You are so confident that you have a skill. Why don't you follow me to patrol the Sanzu River! If you have the ability, go and have a try with the souls and see why their number has decreased so much!"

Uncle Fei was obviously in a bad mood and walked away in a sloppy manner.

Mo Tingfeng had a blank expression on his face. He stretched out his hand and waved two "Forget Words" spells to chase out - he wanted the two of them to never remember what they said today.

The study became quiet for a moment.

Mo Tingfeng sat there motionless, his whole body hidden in the shadows, looking very different from usual.

Song Weichen also sat there motionless, and she didn't dare to move.

Did Mo Tingfeng know that great demon? And Bingtuozi was smiling at him?
What is going on? Does Mo Tingfeng have some secret that she doesn’t know about?

Was everything before just acting?

……

Could it be that Mo Tingfeng is the evil boss and the initiator of all the conspiracies? !
