After Shen Yi finished speaking, the sound of heavy breathing could be heard from behind him.
Recently, they had more or less heard about ghosts and gods.
Especially the incident in Luoyang.
The officials who originally didn't believe it no longer had any doubts at this moment, when the Immortal Palace and the Immortal were right in front of them.
But what did they hear?
The powerful one among the evil ghosts was even difficult for ordinary Immortals to fight against?
Ordinary Immortals! They were also Immortals!
If even Immortals couldn't fight against them, then if mortals encountered them, wouldn't they only have a dead end?
Li Shimin was also dripping with cold sweat. He had already realized that this catastrophe might be much more serious than he had imagined. He should have thought of it earlier. Even an existence like the Immortal Lord had personally descended to the mortal world. How could it be simple?
"Immortal Lord, what should we do?" Li Shimin asked again.
Other than asking the Immortal Lord, he had no other way. This catastrophe was not something mortals like them could do anything about.
"Clove," Shen Yi was still looking into the distance, his eyes deep, and asked slowly, "How many mortals are there here?"
"Immortal Lord, let's wait for Clove to take a look." Clove paused for only a moment, and then said softly, "At this moment, in the Tang Empire alone, including babies and dying people, there are a total of 33,230,000 and 7189 people."
Hearing this number, Li Shimin couldn't help but be surprised.
He still remembered that just last year, he had ordered the Ministry of Revenue to do a census of the Tang Empire's population. It took several months, and the result was about 30 million people.
And this Immortal Lord, in such a short time, had obtained such an accurate number?
She even emphasized that at this moment!
To be able to do this to such an extent.
In the world, was there anything that this Immortal Lord couldn't see or know?
Li Shimin had a clearer understanding of the means of Immortals.
"More than 30 million people is not a lot." Shen Yi nodded lightly.
Clove's number was naturally not made up randomly.
Although there was no Internet in this world.
However, in order to better observe the entire world, Shen Yi specially bought a batch of firefly satellite detectors from the system and scattered them throughout the Tang Empire. He even took out the small satellites that he had bought in the previous world and lifted them into the sky.
It wasn't expensive, but it was very useful.
Therefore, it was an exaggeration to say that Clove could see through everything. However, it was not an exaggeration to say that it could observe the world.
At this very moment.
After getting this number, Shen Yi made a decision.
He slowly turned around and looked at the officials behind him. He said slowly, "The opening of the Realm of Ghosts is the fate of the heavens. This world is destined to become the Realm of Ghosts in the human world. There is no solution, but the Great Path of Heavenly Fire cannot be ignored. Now, I have a ghost-controlling technique that can bring ghosts into my body. Who dares to try it?"
The art of controlling ghosts? Summoning ghosts into his body?
The officials, including Li Shimin, opened their eyes wide.
The meaning of the Immortal Lord's words was very clear.
Their world's demonic realm had opened wide, and the world was in a state of chaos. It was the will of the heavens, and not even the immortals could break it. But because of Skyfire Avenue, they couldn't sit idly by and watch the common people die at the hands of the evil spirits.
But in the end …
The way to save the world was actually the art of controlling ghosts?
Some people even looked terrified.
In this era, ghosts were naturally fearful and ominous. Most people would avoid them, let alone capture them and bring them into their bodies.
But there were also people who were tempted.
For example, Li Chunfeng.
Controlling ghosts sounded scary to most people, but in the Taoist sects, especially the unorthodox sects, there had always been similar sayings.
Most importantly, this was a gift from the immortals, and it was in line with the catastrophe!
He immediately wanted to step forward.
But someone was faster than him.
"I'm willing to try!" Cheng Yaojin was the first to raise his head and shout, "Immortal Lord, I'm willing to try!"
His face was full of excitement, and he didn't look scared at all.
Li Chunfeng was dumbfounded. He wanted to fight the old man right now.
But in front of the Immortal Lord, he didn't dare to act rashly.
"Come here," Shen Yi said.
"Yes, Immortal Lord!"
Cheng Yaojin stood up from the ground and walked over to the Immortal Lord in a few steps. He knelt down again in excitement.
Shen Yi stretched out his finger.
Specks of golden light gathered on his finger. In a moment, they condensed into an unusually complicated pattern. The pattern was neat and tidy, but it didn't look like a talisman.
He pointed at it one last time.
This pattern directly sank into the back of Cheng Yaojin's hand, forming a bright light golden pattern.
"This method can bring a ghost into your body, seal it, and control it. However, after this, if this ghost devours anyone else's blood except for your own, it will explode and die. Remember this," Shen Yi said slowly.
This was actually a ghost curse.
It was specially designed by some necromancers to prepare some powerful evil spirits for their students and subordinates.
Its function was just as Shen Yi said.
It could seal a powerful evil spirit in one's body and obtain the power to control it.
In fact —
In order to prevent people from raising people in captivity and killing the innocent to raise evil spirits.
Shen Yi even made some modifications.
He added a curse.
The evil spirit controlled by this curse seal could only suck the blood of the ghost controller. If it sucked the blood of others, it would trigger the curse.
This cut off the possibility of the ghost controller using other people's blood to raise the ghost.
"Zhi Jie understands, Zhi Jie understands"
Cheng Yaojin nodded again and again. Looking at the mark on the back of his hand, he couldn't hide his excitement.
"The method has been given, let's give it a try. You may leave first" Shen Yi put his hand behind his back. Without waiting for the others to say anything, his figure slowly disappeared into a ripple.
The rest of the people looked at each other in dismay.
He had already said and done what he needed to say.
The rest.
Was to see the effect of this curse seal and to see how far the Wraith Apocalypse would go.
After a while.
Gu Yan finally spoke: "Everyone, just return the way you came"
"Yes"
Li Shimin and the officials could only stand up.
Everyone's expression was complicated.
There was worry, confusion, and contemplation.
Today's matter had a huge impact on them.
Of course, there was also excitement, such as Cheng Yaojin.
On the way back, Cheng Yaojin didn't know how many times he looked at the curse seal on his back, which attracted the attention of the others.
Especially Li Chunfeng.
Sometimes he looked envious, sometimes he gritted his teeth, and there was no need to mention the jealousy in his heart.
And when everyone stepped down the golden staircase again.
Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but come in front of Li Shimin.
"Your Majesty, may I know where the ghost is?"
He couldn't help but want to catch a ghost to try.
