Chapter 111 Ghost Dao Mechanism

The moment Ye Yang and Xiao Ying's ankles were entangled by resentment, the hall was filled with wails, and the resentment that erupted again surged up from downstairs like boiling water.

Although those corpses were nailed to the tables, the resentment in their bodies was not restricted in the slightest. Dozens of ghost faces rose into the air, surrounding Ye Yang and Xiao Ying.

As Xiao Ying raised her spear to counterattack, Ye Yang gently pressed down on the spearhead: "Don't kill them, these wronged souls are useful. Go down first."

"I..." Before Xiao Ying could object, Ye Yang suddenly lifted the spear upwards, throwing her and the spear down the stairs.

As Xiao Ying spun continuously in the air, five or six wronged souls followed her, wrapping around her waist from the air.

Ye Yang's long sword was instantly unsheathed, but the blade did not rush to attack. Instead, he turned the sword body, making the long sword rotate around his body.

As the cold flame of the sword swept past Ye Yang in a fan shape, the wronged souls retreated several feet, avoiding the edge of the sword.

When the hilt of the cold flame sword returned to Ye Yang's hand, a vortex-shaped cyclone had erupted on the blade. At first glance, it looked as if Ye Yang had reached into a whirlwind, holding a dragon's swirl in the air.

"One Sword Sends the Soul!" With Ye Yang's roar, the long sword left his hand. The ghosts in front of Ye Yang were struck by the long sword and exploded into phosphorescent fire. The wronged souls from other directions were attracted by the long sword and flew behind it towards a door on the second floor.

Ye Yang seemed to have launched a single sword strike, but in reality, he only used half a move. Ye Yang was merely sending souls, not beheading them.

After the long sword pierced into the crack of the door, the wronged souls attracted by the sword's momentum poured into the door along both sides of the blade. The sound of a mechanism reversing suddenly came from within the door.

Ye Yang used those wronged souls to open a hidden door!

Xiao Ying, who rushed up from the bottom of the stairs, stared blankly as the door of the guest room slowly opened, and then watched as a section of stairs slowly descended from the ceiling of the guest room: "This... wronged souls can also open mechanisms?"

"Ghost Dao Mechanism Art!" Ye Yang said in a deep voice, "This kind of mechanism has been lost for a long time. Let's go!"

Xiao Ying subconsciously looked at the staircase that should have led to the third floor: "If you hadn't seen that the stairs were hidden in the room, what would have happened if we had gone upstairs?"

Ye Yang reached out and grabbed the handrail of the stairs, breaking off a piece of wood with a little force, and threw it onto the stairs behind him.

After the piece of wood drew an arc in the air, it was actually caught by a hand that stretched out from nowhere.

Xiao Ying exclaimed, "There's a ghost on the stairs?"

"It's a ghost gate!" Ye Yang didn't explain too much, because the most common thing in the art of Dao is a ghost gate blocking the way.

After a ghost erected a ghost gate on the stairs, the stairs would either have one more step than usual, or one step less. If the stairwell wasn't lit, and people couldn't see how many stairs there were, they would easily bump into the ghost gate.

Moreover, when people go up and down the stairs, they can't see the steps and can't count them. When you try to count the steps with your feet, it means you are probing forward against the ghost gate.

When you count that there is suddenly one more or one less step, it is equivalent to using one foot to push open the ghost gate. The next second, you may see someone squatting beside your feet.

Ghost gate blocking the way is not just one or two ghosts causing trouble, but a real connection to another space. Once people go in, they can never get out. Some legends say that people never walked out of the building door after going downstairs. In fact, they entered the ghost gate.

When you walk that section of stairs again, the person who disappeared on the stairs may be hiding in the corner and smiling sadly at you, or hiding there and shouting for help. It's just that you can't see it.

When a ghost gate blocks the way, let alone ordinary people, even warlocks will face a near-death experience.

There may be more than one ghost gate on that section of stairs. If Ye Yang and Xiao Ying stepped on it, they might never come back.

Xiao Ying followed Ye Yang up to the third floor from the stairs behind the secret door with lingering fear, stepping into a living room covered with a red carpet. A maid in black bowed slightly: "Please come in!"

"The master's room is in this living room. If you want to see the master, you have to open her door first. You have one incense stick's time to consider." As the maid in black spoke, she was about to light the incense in the incense burner.

If it was Lin Zhao or Nie Xiao Chun who came with Ye Yang instead of Xiao Ying, they would definitely take the opportunity to speak at this time, helping Ye Yang to get information from the other party.

But Xiao Ying was an obedient child. Whatever Ye Yang asked her to do, she would do it, and even do it very well. However, when Ye Yang didn't speak, she wouldn't act on her own.

Xiao Ying was obedient, but unable to coordinate with Ye Yang's actions, so Ye Yang had to speak himself: "The dignified master of North Water Town wouldn't even be able to enter her own room, would she?"

The black-clothed maid paused slightly before turning around. Her ordinary face gradually turned into the charming Hua Lianqing: "I think my disguise is seamless. How did you know that I am Hua Lianqing?"

Ye Yang said: "People have a scent, and so do ghosts. I can smell the scent of ghosts."

Hua Lianqing, who had regained her true appearance, smiled sweetly and sat opposite Ye Yang: "You're lying! But I don't mind."
