Chapter 171: Vessel
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Because Mo Ming was kind-hearted and helpful, word of his good deeds spread to some areas.
This fame also brought him trouble.
He began to feel that he was being watched, and there were people with bad intentions around him.
So he moved, and after accumulating enough evil energy to sustain the rest of his life, he stopped catching ghosts.
After two years of peace, when his child just started to walk, he heard that there was a family in the neighboring county that was haunted by an evil spirit, so he decided to secretly help them.
When he arrived there, he realized that he was set up.
That group who set him up knew that he was a soul escort. Not only that, the group was backed by an even larger organization that sought out “soul escorts” like Mo Ming.
They needed that huge amount of evil energy in Mo Ming’s body because evil energy was extremely beneficial to ordinary people.
Mo Ming immediately denied it because he tried before. Ordinary people could not absorb evil energy.
When he saw with his own eyes how the other party took a wisp of his evil energy and healed a man’s wound, he know that someone released an untouchable devil. All soul escorts were going to suffer.
Not only that, a soul escort’s lifespan could transfer to ordinary people.
Mo Ming did not know what secret technique the other party used but he lost all his abilities and the group did whatever they wanted to him.
Mo Ming originally thought that as long as the group took all his evil energy in his body, they would still keep him alive. He only wanted to stay alive, even if that meant he had to work for the organization and gather evil energy for them in the future.
However, the group quickly told him that they didn’t need him to do that, they had greater use for him.
They brought Mo Ming to a mountain hundreds of kilometers away from his home. In this mountain, there was a hidden ancient tomb.
The terrain there was extremely dark, steep, and remote. Ordinary people would never notice this place.
And he was to be the core of an evil energy collection array formation.
That’s right, the group intended to use his body as a vessel to collect even more evil energy.
They sealed Mo Ming in the stone coffin and placed a spell on him to trap him in the coffin forever and be a vessel.
As a soul escort, he had an extremely long life, and it was difficult for him to die. However, when Mo Ming thought of his wife and child, whose fate was unknown, and the long life that he would spend in the coffin, he decided to end his own life.
...
Yun Qin heard many tragic stories, but she never experienced one in such way.
After a long silence, Yun Qin said, “Later on, your consciousness transformed into the Soul Bead, which was the vessel that those people wanted. The Soul Bead stayed in the ancient coffin at Black Bear Ridge for more than 100 years, absorbing countless innocent ghosts. That group originally wanted to collect the Soul Bead at a suitable time, but they didn’t expect that I would beat them to it.”
Mo Ming was stunned for a moment, then nodded silently.
Yun Qin paced back and forth while recalling her two experiences at Black Bear Ridge, She muttered to herself, “Black Bear Ridge’s terrain formation naturally gathers evil energy, and it also has an extremely dangerous ancient tomb. That place that the group chose was indeed the best place to cultivate the Soul Bead.”
“However, using a living person as a vessel and imprisoning that person for a lifetime was too sinister and vicious. No wonder Luo Hui said that it cost $2 million for a one-year lifespan. Of course, it would cost a fortune to obtain a year life that took over 100 years to obtain.”
After sorting through the truth, Yun Qin asked again, “Then, do you know who imprisoned you in the stone coffin?”
Mo Ming was silent for a long time before he said, “I only know one of their leaders, the one who can use secret arts, his surname was Qin.”
