The eye seemed to be a little different from what Yun Qin saw before.
It floated gently in the thick and dark void as if it was waiting for something.
This time, Yun Qin approached it again, wanting to read more memory fragments stored in the eye to find some useful clues.
She suspected that this Soul Bead was not born from heaven and earth, but rather man-made, designed specifically to kill the ghosts around it and gather their evil energy.
The Qin family’s reactions and words also proved this point
Just as Yun Qin reached out to touch a memory fragment, a voice suddenly came from the void, “Who are you?”
Yun Qin was startled and quickly took a few steps back. Only then did she realize that she was just a wisp of consciousness and was not in danger. Only then did she ask puzzlingly, “Who are you?”
“My name is Mo Ming.” After the voice finished speaking, Yun Qin saw the giant eye in front of her gradually shatter, turning into colorful fragments like the memory fragments in it.
After that, the fragments slowly gathered together and formed the appearance of a man. He looked like a northerner. His forehead was a little deflated and there was a protruding mole on the side of his face. He looked about 30 years old.
Yun Qin recognized him the moment she saw him. She said in surprise, “I know you! You’re the person who died in the stone coffin!”
“So I’m already dead…” the man lowered his head and muttered. Then, he raised his head and stared at Yun Qin with lifeless eyes. “The country was still the Republic of China when I died. How long has it been since then?”
The Republic of China…That tomb had been around for at least 400-500 years. This person was placed into the stone coffin later.
Therefore, Yun Qin answered, “It has been more than 100 years. The world has changed a lot. What did you experience?”
“More than 100 years…My child, my wife…” the man bent his body as if he was very sad. However, a shadow does not have tears, so he could only curl his body and whine.
“I know you were also Hades’ envoy, charged with absorbing evil energy, right? I can help you get revenge,” Yun Qin advised.
The man raised his head. This time, his eyes filled with hope and desire. “Really?”
Listening to the phantom man’s narration, Yun Qin learned about the life of this man called “Mo Ming”.
Mo Ming was born in a small village by the Yellow River. When he was born, he had a flower-shaped birthmark on his calf.
When he reached adulthood, Mo Ming learned about his mission and began to catch ghosts and collect their evil energy.
In just two or three years, he became a very famous Yin Yang master in the region.
Mo Ming’s parents died when he was young so his grandmother raised him. After his grandmother passed away, he was all alone with nothing to worry about. Therefore, he was very open-minded about his fate.
After leaving his hometown, he traveled around and conscientiously completed his mission.
Along the way, he had many fortuitous encounters. He also learned that he was not alone and that many people like him were working hard to maintain the balance between the human world and the underworld.
He came across an ancient book and from the book, he learned that people like him are called “soul escorts.”.
They sent away souls that lingered in the human world and absorbed their evil energy and resentment, converting that into their lifespan.
While Mo Ming was traveling, he met another soul escort.
It was a woman who was about his age and had similar experiences.
The two soon fell in love and formed a family.
From then on, there was a soul escort couple in the world that secretly dealt with evil spirits that were not bound by the rules of the divine axiom.
Mo Ming thought that by meeting the love of his life, he could live a happy life.
But there were “people” who targeted them.
