Chapter 188: Heavenly Prison, Sin Prison, Four Thoughts of Reversal, Ghost Princess
"Is it difficult, is it difficult?"

A chill ran down Ayaka's back. After all, she was born into a famous family of exorcists. Especially after her spiritual power was awakened recently, she had made up a lot of knowledge through "memory infusion" and also learned the relevant information about the human-demon riots one hundred and fifty years ago.

"Could it be that...something called 'The Ghost Princess of the Heavenly Prison of Sin and the Four Inverted Thoughts', the greatest monster among the Five Great Demon Kings?"

She felt that this name was a bit difficult to pronounce, and at this moment, the eyes of the girl floating in the air with will-o'-the-wisp lingering around her also moved over - being stared at by the other person, Ayaka's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

She noticed it. The girl's eyes. Those pupils were golden, and they felt a bit like the pupils of cold-blooded reptiles like snakes.

A closer look revealed that Gui Ji looked like a girl of eleven or twelve, with delicate features and neatly cut black hair. Her body, however, was hazy.

Phosphorescent ghost lights floated around this "girl", and her dangling toes also floated in mid-air, like the ghost in the story.

"Oh~~ I think so. Come to think of it, it seems to have been called that in the past... That name should be taken from the Buddhist text 'Avoiding delusions and achieving Nirvana', right?"

The girlish ghost princess smiled with a defiant smile, and then whispered: "Then again, humans really like to give us some strange names... Hehe~~"

Although his voice was as childish as his appearance, his tone was calm and composed which was not in line with his age.

'No. '

Ye Ming thought that this was not the case.

The names of people and things contain the nature of things.

The way it is called can also evoke the spirituality in the language.

This is what is called the "art of words".

Just like when people pray to gods, they call the gods' names.

Through people's calls, gods can resonate with mortals who pray and establish an invisible connection.

The top demons already possess spiritual powers like ghosts and gods. Just talking about or calling them will make them feel something, or create some kind of cause and effect.

Ancient magicians would choose names to give to these great demons. Without exception, they all used the effect of the spirit of words as a means of "hindering" these demon king-level demons.

"Oh right... since you know my name, then please tell me your names."

Gui Ji smiled and said, "When visiting someone, giving your name is basic etiquette, right?"

There was a hint of temptation in her voice.

"my name is……"

Ayaka subconsciously prepared to open her mouth, and she was obviously affected by the other party's words.

"can not say."

Ye Ming quickly reached out from behind and covered his sister's mouth.

Ayaka subconsciously struggled, trying to speak out.

"So-called etiquette is for acquaintances or dignitaries...

While protecting her adopted sister, she replied in a stern tone: "Ghost Princess, you are not an acquaintance of ours, nor can you be considered a noble person. A monster is a monster. There is no need to adhere to human etiquette with you, because you are not a 'human' either."

It was at this moment that Ayaka discovered that she, who was influenced by the Word Spirit, was no longer feeling controlled and dominated.

"Is this the Great Demon's Word Spirit? It's truly terrifying that it can force me and control my will simply by speaking. "

At the same time, after realizing the other party's identity, Ye Ming couldn't help but reveal a stiff expression mixed with tension, uneasiness and fighting spirit.

At this moment, she had no doubt about the other party's identity.

It is true that in the past, there have been some monsters who pretended to be the monster king, but this is essentially meaningless. After all, these titles have no real meaning to other monsters.

——Furthermore, “such words from one hundred and fifty years ago” are so specific.

"Furthermore, during the initial battle, although two demon kings were sealed and a hundred great demons were banished to the realm of nothingness, three demon kings still managed to escape."

Of course, after that battle, the Four Saints and other exorcists hunted down the three defeated demon kings. Among them, the Scorpion King died in the battle, and the other "violent, ferocious, five evil and rebellious flying demon", also known as the demon king "Nue", was also killed by the Bow Saint with the help of the divine bow of Thunder.

The only one who is missing is the pillow demon among the five demon kings. Its name is "Ghost Queen of the Four Confusions of Heavenly Prison, Sinful Prison and the Four Thoughts". The real body of the Ghost Queen King is a demon ghost named Zhen Fan, which is one of the branches of the ghost clan.

Like the dream-eating tapir and the nightmares of Western countries, the Ghost Princess has the power to control dreams. In particular, the Ghost Princess is a rare mutant among the many pillow-returning demons. The power she possesses is much stronger than that of ordinary pillow-returning demons.

This is a natural trait. Gui Ji possesses strength that is dozens or even hundreds of times greater than that of her peers. This also enables her to achieve the combat power of the demon king level without spending too much time from the beginning of her growth.

On the other hand, among the five demon kings, Gui Ji possesses a more special ability. She can control the dreams of others at will and distort people's hearts with the help of dreams.

In addition, it also has the power to send human consciousness and even the body into dreams, and distort them to another time and space.

Among the five demon kings, there are some who are cruel and bloodthirsty, eating humans as food, or carrying out retaliatory massacres out of hatred.

Of course, there are also more unusual ones, like the big fox demon named "Volkswagen Fox Mother" among the five demon kings. He believes that humans and demons can coexist peacefully, and that mortals need corresponding "relief". He can be regarded as a heretic among demons who believe in the coexistence of humans and demons (the squid demon Chizhang Daisengzheng is a supporter of this view).

As for Gui Ji, she treats humans as playthings. Among the five great demons, she is the one that is more "close" to humans, but that attitude is that she treats humans as pets or toys.

The Ghost Princess likes to dominate and manipulate people's hearts. Its power can distort people's will through dreams, or send people to a different space like a parallel world through dreams connecting different worlds.

As long as she wants, she can turn a good person into a vicious villain, and she can also force a person with heinous crimes and bloody hands to become a saint.

In Buddhist scriptures, it is believed that sentient beings, because of their attachment to the concept of "I", that is, "self-attachment", have developed four erroneous cognitions, namely the four kinds of inversions, namely "permanence inversion", "happiness inversion", "self inversion", and "purity inversion".

Frequent delusion: regarding impermanent things as eternal, for example, regarding a short life as infinite, desperately pursuing fame and fortune, but not realizing that life and death are just impermanent illusions;
Perversion of pleasure: Mortals have a wrong understanding of the world, viewing suffering as pleasure, and mistakenly taking temporary enjoyment and pleasure as true happiness. For example, they are busy pursuing food, clothing, money, and love, but they do not know that these pursuits ultimately bring pain.
I am inverted: mortals regard the existence of "I" as more important than anything else, but they do not understand that the physical self is just the result of cause and condition and cannot be controlled;

Purity reversal: mortals always mistake impurity for purity. The world is essentially full of impurity, but people are obsessed with superficial cleanliness and beauty. For example, they believe that the body is clean, but ignore its inherent impure nature.

The essence of these four inverted dreams are four errors, namely, mistaking the false for the true, being greedy for pleasure, delusion of opposition, and taking illusions for reality.

The unique power of Gui Ji is that she can use human desires to control these four mentalities at will, causing those affected by her to indulge in such chaos and commit all kinds of incredible evil deeds and atrocities.

One hundred and fifty years ago, no, two hundred or three hundred years ago, the Ghost Princess was causing great harm. Countless exorcists wanted to defeat her, but instead were captured by her and became her playthings. From then on, they wandered in the gap between dreams and reality, leading a life worse than death.

"Some of the files concerning this great demon in the past also record that he would chop off the limbs of living people and turn them into human pillars, leaving only the heads. He would then use the brains as a device for calculating arithmetic, weaving giant illusions, engulfing the residents of an entire territory, and using them to observe the delusions of the half-dead in their dreams, enjoying the pleasure of doing so..."

Ye Ming also heard that as long as she knew his name during direct contact with her, he would be controlled by her.

——However, as long as you don’t introduce your own name, there won’t be any big problem.

While Ye Ming pondered these questions, he asked the Ghost Princess in front of him, "It is said that the last people to clash with the Ghost Princess were the Fist Saint and the Sword Saint of the Four Saints, several masters from the previous generations of the Twelve Saint Guardians, a corps of Shikigami led by the Onmyoji's sorcerers, and an imperial army of over a thousand men. In that fierce and deadly battle, you were severely injured in the end and disappeared from sight."

She raised her head and looked at the huge ghost skeleton on the stone chair.

"From what I see now, as a great demon, you should have barely escaped from that battle and eventually died of exhaustion, right?" Ye Ming made such an inference.

In fact, no matter how powerful the pillow monster is, it is impossible for it to fight against such a powerful enemy alone, and its defeat is only a matter of time.

"That skeleton should be your true body. You are now just a kind of undead."

Ye Ming raised another question.

"Yes."

The girl-like ghost princess half-closed her eyes.

"Human girl, your guess is correct... My true self is dead, and now I am nothing more than a remnant of a soul."

"But even a great monster like you, if dead, should have fallen to the bottom of hell or returned to the cycle of reincarnation... Why are you still here, and what is the reason for your stay in the mortal world?"

What she was very worried about was whether the pillow demon had any plans before his death, and wanted to find an opportunity to resurrect or something.

"I see?"

The ghost princess raised her bloodless lips and smiled faintly: "Is it because of the considerations of a demon exorcist? However, as a great youkai, I don't have too many attachments. The reason I exist here is only because of the scattered bones and the dream seeds of the past, which were left nearby, gradually forming a certain influence on this place."

She sighed softly, "Human girl, don't be too wary. I hold no ill will towards you... Oh, by the way, you're here to collect the spiritual flower Igoziki, right? The Ainu must have told you, otherwise how could outsiders know these spiritual flowers grow here?"

"You, do you even know this?"

"Those Ainu people have come here several times in the past."

The Ghost Princess smiled and said, "However, I did not appear at that time... No, I should say that the Ainu people had no way of observing my existence. Young Exorcist, without the power of your 'Eyes', this little remnant of my dream would not have been able to appear."

"W-what do you mean?"

"If the Ainu knew there were powerful monsters here, they wouldn't have sent you here to die, right?"

Ghost Princess explained, "I think they don't realize this ghost skeleton is my true self. They just think this is the grave of some great ghost and that I'm long dead... I appeared at this time because your Eye of Heavenly Perception touched my remains and resonated with them."

"My eyes."

Ye Ming almost took a step back. She did not expect that Gui Ji could see through the origin of her eyes.

"There's nothing strange about this. The Eye of Awakening has been extremely famous since ancient times, but only a few possess it."

The ghost princess, who was wearing a blue attire similar to that of a maid, laughed out loud: "This kind of thing is not something that is completely unknown to great demons like us who have lived long enough."

"You showed up here, not just to tell us this, right?"

Ayaka seemed to have grasped something, and she asked nervously.

"Yes."

Gui Ji raised the corner of her mouth, but the smile quickly disappeared.

"The Igoziki, the spiritual flower, is my property after all. After all, it grew thanks to the power of my bones, which survived on this land... The Ainu people are completely ignorant and took it without permission, so that's fine. But if you want to pick these flowers, don't you think you should at least pay a price?"

"Price? What on earth are you thinking about?"

"Do not misunderstand."

The ghost princess "Ku Ku" smiled.

"I've said it before. Right now, I'm just a remnant of a soul, without the power to revive... I have no ill will towards you. I just hope to reach a deal. The content of the deal won't harm you. Of course, if you don't agree, forget it."

She sighed.

"Then I will only take back the spiritual flower Igozki, for example, let these flowers wither. I still have this level of power left--"

Yaming and Ayaka looked at each other.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became silent.

Ye Ming was also thinking secretly. She did not doubt the other party's ability. The soul remnant of this inexplicable demon king-level existence seemed to be in a strange state, which was difficult for her eyes, that is, the Eye of Heavenly Perception, to see clearly.

"...This thing is really troublesome. I really can't seem to grasp its true state. I'm afraid the Soul Shredding skill won't be of much use to it."

As for monsters, especially big monsters like the famous "Ghost Princess of the Heavenly Prison, Sinful Prison and Four Reversed Thoughts", it would be best if they could be killed.

However, if the Eye of Heavenly Awareness cannot see through the other party's "essence", then the Soul-Severing Sword will not be able to kill this guy.

"Besides... this guy is talking about a deal, so he must be up to something. However, if I refuse directly, I might anger him."

After a moment, she thought and chose to ask a question.

"Please wait a moment."

Ye Ming asked: "At least, you have to tell me what the deal is, right?"

"Well... there's no rush."

Gui Ji covered her mouth with her sleeve.

"As for the content of the deal, I think we should wait until you defeat the enemy lurking underground before discussing it."

Suddenly, this guy's figure disappeared like a ghost.

"Wait a minute, what are you talking about...enemies underground!"

not good!

Ye Ming sensed the crisis.

It was as if she had sensed something intuitively. Her sixth sense became extremely sharp, and a strong ominous premonition emerged in her mind.

"Come on."

She suddenly stretched out her hand and pushed hard, and Ayaka was pushed away by her. At that moment, the ground under her feet cracked and a bloody mouth opened. It was the mouth of a stone-like creature.

"Earth mole!"

The ground beneath Ye Ming's feet collapsed, and his entire figure was swallowed by the mole creatures hiding underground.
