Chapter 122: Ghost Lake, Blood-colored Wooden Comb
At this time, Zhang Hao also came to the area where the one-eyed old man He Liansheng was before.

All three people were isolated. Now, as long as He Liansheng, who inherited the necromancer's legacy, was killed, the inheritance of Taiping Ancient Town would be cut off.

however.

When Zhang Hao appeared in a village near a lake in the painting world, he found that He Liansheng was not there.

"what happened?"

Zhang Hao looked around the village, his pale ghost eye constantly observing everything inside the village.

However, no matter how hard he looked, he could not find any trace of He Liansheng.

"Did that guy escape?"

Zhang Hao looked at the calm lake surface. This lake next to the village was haunted by a very scary ghost.

But Zhang Hao didn't think He Liansheng would die in this place.

Apart from anything else, He Liansheng's ability to summon spirits alone would allow him to easily resolve the situation here.

Not to mention, He Liansheng himself has the ability to swim up from the bottom of Ghost Lake.

Although the lake in this village is also very powerful, it is still dwarfed by the Ghost Lake.

"He's not dead. Could it be that he escaped?"

Zhang Hao looked outside the plug and checked around but didn't find any trace of the other party. This was the only thing he could think of.

Meanwhile, the real world.

At this time, He Liansheng had indeed successfully escaped from the ghost painting.

When he realized that he and others were separated by evil spirits, he knew that things were out of control, and used an old object treasured in Taiping Ancient Town as a medium to light the soul-calling incense.

With the help of the summoned ghosts, he successfully left the world of ghost paintings.

He Liansheng stood on the shore, looking at the ghost lake that was invading reality.

He knew that Ghost Lake was inevitably out of control.

Part of the supernatural power of Ghost Lake was stolen by the young man, and Ghost Lake must invade the reality in order to regain the lost supernatural power.

Not to mention, the two ghosts, one red and one white, are still eyeing the Ghost Lake. Once the Faceless Man and Boss Liu are dealt with, they will return to reality.

"Alas, I don't have many days left, so I'd better leave my hope to you."

He Liansheng sighed and returned to Taiping Ancient Town.

When passing by the ancient town, he stopped and walked into the ancestral hall. He looked up at the tablets in front of the hall.

At this time, the streets of Taiping Ancient Town were filled with strange water stains because of the out-of-control Ghost Lake.

Even a pool of water appeared on the ground of the ancestral hall.

Fortunately, the spirit tablet was placed in a high place, so it was not submerged by the accumulated water.

Moreover, each memorial tablet is clean and tidy, without even a speck of dust, and other nearby places are not affected by the accumulated water underground.

Every bit of it is the result of this old man's life's hard work.

He had guarded this place for decades and thought he could protect it until the moment of his death, but he did not expect that the ancestral hall would be flooded before that time.

After stopping and watching for a while.

The one-eyed old man came to the rows of memorial tablets. He didn't need to look at them for long as he already knew how they were arranged. He just grabbed a tablet at random.

Then he took out a golden box and put the spirit tablets into it one by one.

It was not until the last tablet was left that He Liansheng took it and left.

He boarded a small black boat and sailed along the strange lakes in the ancient town of Taiping.

Soon, He Liansheng returned to the place where the Ghost Lake was located on the ancient boat.

He found the body of the middle-aged woman, took out a paper boat, lit it, and then threw the middle-aged woman's body on it and burned it.

The corpse, which had become cold and damp due to being contaminated by the lake water, was placed on the paper boat and suddenly ignited, bursting into flames.

The body of the washerwoman gradually turned black in the flames, and her clothes quickly turned to ashes. At the same time, shrill screams were heard from the flames.

Each piece of clothing seemed to harbor evil spirits, making people feel creepy.

But this fire is very strange. It can burn ghosts and is even more terrifying than the ghost fire controlled by Li Jun. It just seems that it needs to ignite these paper boats as a medium for it to appear.

After the body of the laundry woman and the strange clothes on her body were burned, the flames gradually dissipated and the thick smoke quickly disappeared.

In the ashes, the one-eyed old man reached out and touched.

There is one last piece of clothing left.

This piece of clothing can no longer be burned. There are strange human faces, twisted bodies, and charred torso marks on it, as if there are many evil spirits living on it, and it is extremely dangerous.

"This is the last piece of clothing made in Taiping Town. It is also the best work, better than the shroud."

The old man shook off the ashes on it and looked at this rare work with a hint of reminiscence in his eyes.

After a while, he held the clothes in his hand, silently looking at the not-so-calm and gloomy lake surface.

"We can't wait any longer. Now is the best opportunity."

The old man murmured something, and the next moment, after placing the memorial tablet, he put on the clothes and jumped into the lake from the boat.

Because the supernatural power of Guihu was stolen, all the attention is now on Yang Jian.

Nowadays, when the elderly enter Ghost Lake, they have to face the erosion of the lake water, but they do not have to face the female corpse in the lake, so the danger is much reduced.

And the other side.

After Zhang Hao searched for He Liansheng in vain, he went to support the Ghost Bride and ended the battle.

Speaking of which, although Boss Liu doesn't look strong, he is really tough to deal with.

Even when Zhang Hao was in front of him, it took him a long time to successfully suppress him.

The ability to increase spatial distance is too unsolvable in terms of self-protection.

Even though Zhang Hao was able to use mindless suppression, he was still unable to get close to Boss Liu. In the end, he had to wait until Boss Liu himself could no longer hold on.

After leaving the ghost painting, Zhang Hao was looking for He Liansheng along the river bank.

But unfortunately, it was not found.

He Liansheng left the world of ghost paintings a long time ago and is now missing. All that can be seen on the lake is that small boat.

But Zhang Hao did not see any signs of living people there, and even the body of the middle-aged woman was missing.

"Forget it, time to go find Ghost Lake."

In fact, even though Zhang Hao thought he knew the Ghost Bride very well, the methods that the Ghost Bride had demonstrated in the original book were too few.

His memory from Zhang Hao when he was watching Mysterious Resurrection had told him about many so-called original outline settings.

Some said that the ghost bride's body was in the cemetery, while others said it was in the ghost lake.

When he made the deal with the Red Room, he forgot to ask the Red Room to explain all the pieces of the puzzle. Now, in order to help the Ghost Bride complete them, he had to try them one by one.

Zhang Hao himself has completed the ghost catcher and has almost reached the final state. Next, he just needs to slowly seize the growth of the evil ghost, and he will be able to reach the level of the Seven Elders sooner or later.

But the ghost bride became a problem.

The only puzzle pieces of the red room that Zhang Hao knows about now are the red bed, ghost makeup, and ghost blood.

Then there was a piece of clothing on the hanger, but I didn’t know whether it was a groom’s suit or a red cheongsam.

Whether there were other pieces of the puzzle, he had no idea.

"Let's find the source of Ghost Lake."

Zhang Hao did not hold out much hope for this. If the Ghost Lake was really the bride's puzzle, then the Ghost Bride should have started to show signs of losing control when she entered the Ghost Lake.

Even though Zhang Hao is now more important in the Ghost Bride's judgment than before, he still shows signs of losing control when he encounters a puzzle.

Using the ghost den to invade everything around him, Zhang Hao's vision also expanded as the ghost den spread, allowing him to see more things.

As Yang Jian stole the Ghost Lake, several captains in that group seemed to be entangled by the Ghost Lake.

On the shore of the lake, densely packed female corpses appeared.

Zhang Hao looked at the female corpses. Each of them exuded a terrifying and weird aura, like a real evil ghost. They were not comparable to the female corpses floating on the water before.

"Did you learn Liu San's method of splitting your own spirit and create a clone?"

Zhang Hao looked at this scene and couldn't help but feel that this ability was really weird.

Guihu learned Liu San's ability to create paper doppelgangers, and because she was a lake, she made her doppelgangers all made of lake water. Standing on the lake, they could constantly absorb the spirits of Guihu, which was not much different from the source of evil spirits.

Fires ignited on the shore. It was Li Jun's ghost fire. He was lighting the clones of these ghost lakes.

Because this time it was not on the surface of the lake, the will-o'-the-wisp did not sink to the bottom of the lake after burning.

"We can't keep wasting time like this. The water in Ghost Lake is endless, and he can keep creating clones. We need to find a way to prevent his supernatural powers from spreading."

Liu San was followed by a group of female corpses and could only fight back passively.

Faced with the female corpse who had learned his supernatural skills, Liu San didn't dare to use more skills, for fear that the other party would learn them again and make the Ghost Lake even more terrifying and weird.

"There's nothing I can do. This ghost is haunting me." On the lake, Yang Jian was constantly fighting against these female corpses.

He stole 40% of the supernatural powers of Ghost Lake, so when facing these female corpses, he was not in danger.

But if he keeps wasting time like this, he won't be able to hold on sooner or later.

Cao Yang said: "I have a new discovery. I discovered a detail when I was fighting against those female corpses before."

"That is, whether it's the evil ghosts in the ghost lake or the female corpses that keep appearing, they have never left the lake from beginning to end."

"What you are talking about is nonsense. The ghosts are in the Ghost Lake. The Ghost Lake is the ghosts. Of course they will not leave the lake." Liu San said.

Cao Yang said: "No, what I mean is that the ghosts have always maintained contact with the lake water."

"In other words, they only appear where there is water. If there is no water, those ghosts have no way to get ashore."

"This doesn't mean anything. Ghosts can't come ashore, but the Ghost Lake can continue to erode everything around it." Yang Jian said.

Cao Yang continued: "What if there is something that prevents the Ghost Lake from being eroded? In addition, the ghosts in the Ghost Lake cannot go ashore, can we trap the Ghost Lake here?"

"The only ones who are not invaded by the Ghost Lake are other ghosts. Do you mean to use supernatural powers to block the Ghost Lake?" Yang Jian nodded thoughtfully.

"If it can temporarily prevent me from dying immediately, then I can pay the price of the evil spirit's revival."

Feng Quan, who discovered that Ghost Lake was out of control and successfully reunited with everyone, said at this time.

"Then I can use the grave soil to surround the entire Ghost Lake, blocking the erosion of the Ghost Lake and preventing the evil spirits from coming ashore."

Although Feng Quan didn't finish his words, his meaning was very clear at this point.

Use the Music Box Curse on him to keep him alive.

"That's impossible. Even if your evil ghost dies and wants to rely on the grave soil to surround the ghost lake, it will be exhausted to death."

Yang Jian immediately rejected this idea.

The size difference between Feng Quan and Ghost Lake is too great. When the soil from the Ghost Grave and the water from Ghost Lake come into contact, there will be a confrontation between the two sides.

Although Feng Quan's ghost grave soil has great potential, its size is too small. Not to mention him, even if a real evil ghost uses it, it is impossible to surround the ghost lake.

Everyone discussed and deliberated with each other, trying to find a reasonable way to deal with Ghost Lake.

"Maybe, there is another way." Liu San, who was being chased by the female corpse, suddenly spoke.

"From what you said just now, you seem to want to use something to lock up the ghost lake, right?"

"The Red and White Devils are here now. If we can induce the Red Devils to use the Ghost Den on a large scale, her Ghost Den will cover the Ghost Lake."

"You mean to use the ghost cave in the ghost painting to imprison Guihu?" Li Jun took out a human skin bag to imprison the female corpses chasing after Liu San.

This human-skin bag was made from a supernatural item together with the will-o'-the-wisp.

It was a human skin lantern, the ghost fire was controlled by Li Jun, and the human skin on the lantern was made into a human skin bag by Wang Xiaoming.

"Yes, that's what I mean." Liu San, no longer threatening, stopped and nodded.

"The ghost cave of the ghost painting is actually a world that has evolved. As long as the ghost cave of the ghost painting can cover the ghost lake, the ghost lake can be trapped in the ghost painting."

Upon hearing this plan, Li Jun immediately shook his head.

"This method won't work. The ghost messenger and the ghost painting have come together to form the terrifying Red and White Twins. It's already very troublesome now."

"Another ghost lake, who knows what kind of horrible ghost things will be produced by the collision of spirits and supernatural beings."

Speaking of this, Li Jun looked a little solemn.

"The current Baisha has mastered the supernatural powers of the Ghost Messenger. According to the news I just received, I'm afraid Wei Jing was also taken away by Baisha. This should have made up for the defect that the Ghost Messenger cannot grow."

"Hongsha controlled the ghost painting and turned into a terrifying ghost bride."

"If we give it a ghost lake."

The white evil that completed the ghost messenger? Yang Jian's face turned ugly when he heard this.

He said that this time, Bai Sha's style of setting up various traps and planning was different from before.

In the past, the Red and White Devils were always hiding in the dark. Even when they stole the ghost cabinet, it was after Yang Jian left Dachang City.

This time, as soon as they appeared, they directly started to summon the source of ghosts, without worrying at all about Taiping Ancient Town and their captains joining forces.

It turned out that he had made up for the ghost's shortcomings. No wonder he was so confident and did not continue hiding in the dark.

"The Ghost Lake cannot be locked inside the ghost painting. There are countless evil spirits in the Ghost Lake, plus the ghosts in the ghost painting."

"I'm afraid that ghost will become completely unsolvable." Yang Jian said with a serious face.

If he really sends Gui Hu into the ghost painting, I'm afraid even those old men won't be his match, right?

Yang Jian didn't know that while they were discussing how to deal with the Ghost Lake, Zhang Hao had already broken into the sky above the Ghost Lake with the Ghost Bride.

At this time, about 40% of the supernatural power of Ghost Lake had been stolen, and it was at its weakest.

Naturally, Zhang Hao would not ignore this opportunity to control the Ghost Lake.

As Zhang Hao and the Ghost Bride stood above the Ghost Lake to summon ghosts, the source of the Ghost Lake, which had lost 40% of its supernatural powers, soon appeared.

With nearly half of her supernatural powers reduced, her terror level has dropped by more than half. Now she can no longer withstand the supernatural powers that summon ghosts and is directly controlled by Zhang Hao and the ghost bride.

At this moment, the sobbing sound floated faintly on the dead and cold lake.

That sound was very similar to Zhang Hao's crying, except that the sound was sharper and thinner, like a woman's crying.

Zhang Hao looked towards the source of the sound. It was the same black boat from before.

A strange woman appeared on the boat at some point. She was wearing white clothes and an old-fashioned coat.

It was the same clothing worn by the female corpses that had previously attacked Yang Jian and others.

A head of jet-black hair hung down and fell on the black boat, and the hair was wet and still dripping, as if it had just been washed.

At this moment, the woman was holding a wooden comb that was as bright as blood, and was slowly combing her wet long hair.

Although its behavior was controlled, Guihu did not completely lose his instincts.

"That wooden comb!"

Zhang Hao looked at the woman who was transformed from the source of the Ghost Lake, but his attention was not focused on the woman, but on the wooden comb.

This style is as similar in color to blood, it really is.

While Zhang Hao was staring at the wooden comb, the bride next to him had become agitated.

The ghost cave painted by the ghost was opened unknowingly, and the gray paper ash that kept falling covered the entire sky above the lake.

This time, the ghost bride instinctively used the ghost den to cover the entire ghost lake.

Although she did not forcibly control Zhang Hao's actions as before, she had already used the most terrifying supernatural power in her body.

If the source of the ghost lake in front of them had not been controlled by ghosts, the ghost bride would probably have launched an attack directly.

In this den of ghosts, a derivative portrait appeared.

A woman in a wedding dress walked out of the portrait and went straight to the Ghost Lake.

Faced with this derived ghost bride, Ghost Lake showed no signs of launching an attack.

If Zhang Hao and the ghost bride had entered the lake before, the ghost lake might have attacked them immediately, and even summoning ghosts would have been useless.

But now it’s different. Ghost Lake has been completely controlled and can only maintain its own instincts.

The derived ghost bride reached out and snatched the wooden comb from Guihu's hand.

The loss of the wooden comb had no effect on the aura of Ghost Lake.

Obviously, this thing was just brought to the Ghost Lake by a ghost rider or an evil ghost by accident and was obtained by the Ghost Lake. It is not a puzzle in the true sense of the word, but can only be regarded as a versatile supernatural item.

After the ghost bride took the wooden comb, the water stains on it automatically dripped down and flowed into the lake.

Then the ghost bride actually lifted up the red veil and began to comb her hair with a wooden comb.
