What is it like to be led around by a ghost?

"When are we going to the underworld?" Yu Mohui sat in front of the computer desk, and Jiongwu sat on the bay window with a bed away from him—this was the result of Yu Mohui's strong request to keep a distance.

Although he didn't come home until late at night to lie down and rest last night, Yu Mohui still woke up very early.He originally let Jiongwu spend the night on the sofa in the living room, but when he woke up, Jiongwu was lying on his side, even with his arms on his chest.

Yu Mohui couldn't help frowning, with a complicated expression.Anyone who wakes up in the morning and finds someone they've just met the day sleeping soundly asleep with their arms around their chest will be surprised...

But the man didn't realize it, and turned his head and rubbed his neck again.Yu Mohui's hairs stood on end immediately, his whole body was about to explode, he threw Jiongwu off the bed, and ran to wash up as if fleeing.

So this created a situation where one person and one ghost were sitting across from each other when they obviously wanted to discuss major issues together.

In fact, as a ghost, Jiongwu didn't need to rest at first.But now he lacks a ray of soul, even if the serious injury has healed, it is still far from being able to recover to the state of strength when the soul is complete, so he also needs to rest like a mortal.

He was still worried about Yu Mohui last night, so he sat next to his bed and prepared to watch the night, but he didn't close his eyes and watched the whole night the day before, so last night his eyelids unconsciously started fighting, and he accidentally fell asleep. catch...

After relieving his embarrassment, Jiong Wu came back to his senses: "Are you going to go like this?" He signaled Yu Mo to return to the state of being an ordinary person now.

"Ah? Otherwise? Didn't you say you were going to the underworld to get my soul back?"

Jiong Wu laughed: "But I didn't let you go just like that! Let's not talk about the ray of soul I gave you, which caused me to be in a state of incomplete soul. You, an ordinary person, go directly to the underworld to die. ?”

"Why are you an ordinary person? Didn't I pull you out of the dream?"

"That's because your power has awakened a little bit, but that power is unstable, and you can't control it, so you are still an ordinary mortal."

Yu Mohui rubbed his nose, he didn't expect such a situation: "Then what should I do? Should I go out to pick up equipment first?" He remembered that in the novels he had read before, the main character had to fight monsters, pick up equipment and upgrade before going out. Hit the boss.

Jiong Wu pondered: "Maybe it's about the same."

"Eh?"

"Let's go to Maoshan!"

"!"

Yu Mohui packed his things on the same day, and went out under the pretense of going on a trip with his classmates.

On the way, he took the high-speed train twice and then changed to a bus. When he got to the entrance of the hotel, Yu Mohui felt physically and mentally exhausted.

He looked at Jiong Wu, who looked like a normal person beside him, and sighed, as expected, he was just an ordinary mortal...

The front desk of the hotel is a young man who admits death. One person can only book a single-bed room. If you want to book a twin-bed room, you must register the ID cards of two people.

Yu Mohui tried his best but failed to persuade the young man at the front desk. Instead, he started to suspect that he was doing some shady business. Otherwise, who would live alone but insist on a twin room?

He finally booked a big bed room with a dark face.

Jiongwu relied on others not being able to see him, so she laughed wildly from the sidelines the whole time.So that night he was kicked out of the room by Yu Mohui. Yu Mohui said that no one else could see him anyway, so he asked him to find an empty room to live in.But Jiongwu returned to Yu Mohui's room after he fell asleep.

When Yu Mohui woke up early the next morning, he saw the ghost lying next to him again. The veins on his forehead were throbbing, and he threw Jiongwu out of bed again. He was so angry that he ignored him all morning. , Didn't speak to him again until climbing the mountain.

"Why do you come to Maoshan, a ghost? Aren't you afraid that Taoist priests will take you away?"

"Where are there any real Taoist priests now, even if I run around in front of them, they can't see me."

"...Okay, then what kind of equipment are we here to pick up?"

"It's not about picking up equipment, it's about finding a Taoist priest."

"Huh?" You said that the current Taoist priests are not capable, but in the end they really came to find Taoist priests?

"You will know when you arrive." Jiong Wu was mysterious and did not give an answer.

Soon one person and one ghost arrived at a peak, the forest was deep, birds were singing, and there was a faint mist, but there were no people or houses.

Yu Mohui climbed the mountain and was out of breath. When he saw the deep and quiet scenery for the first time, he felt refreshed.But there was no one around here, coupled with Jiongwu's leisurely and indifferent expression, Yu Mohui suddenly started to panic.

Could it be that he purposely found an inaccessible place to deal with me on the spot?

Yu Mohui felt that this was not impossible.

When Jiongwu heard Yu Mo's thoughts, she glanced at him helplessly and speechlessly, then walked to a thick old tree, and patted the trunk a few times: "Maomao, come out."

There was a burst of white mist emerging from the ground, and an old man with white hair and white beard came out of the white mist with a whisk in his hand, looking quite like a fairy bone.

Is this... an immortal?Yu Mo was taken aback.

When the white mist dissipated, when the immortal saw Jiongwu, his face showed a shyness that didn't match his age, and he said to Jiongwu with some coyness: "Can the immortal stop calling me by my nickname? embarrassing……"

Jiong Wu couldn't help laughing softly.

At this time, the immortal also noticed Yu Mohui beside him, and his face was full of surprise: "Ghost king, you..."

Before he finished speaking, he was taken aback for a moment, as if he realized that Yu Mohui was just a mortal now, turned his head to look at Jiongwu, and said puzzledly: "Great Immortal, the ghost king is..."

"It's a long story."

Jiong Wu pointed to the immortal and introduced to Yu Mohui: "He is Rong Qi, the Earth Immortal here, or called Land Lord."

"Lord of the land?" Yu Mohui was taken aback by the previous titles of "Ghost King" and "Great Immortal", "Why did the Lord of the Land call you 'Great Immortal'? Didn't you say you were a ghost? And what did he say just now?" Is the phrase 'ghost king' calling me?"

After this series of questions, Jiong Wu hadn't explained yet, but Rong Qi immediately understood: "Great Immortal, has the ghost king lost his memory?"

Jiongwu raised her forehead, only thinking that one head and two are bigger.I don't know this person or immortal, so I have to explain each one.

Rong Qi conjured up a stone table, three stone benches and some tea sets, motioned for Jiong Wu to sit down and said.

"I was originally an Earth Immortal," Jiong Wu explained to Yu Mohui, "I was older than him, so he always called me 'Great Immortal', but for some reason I degenerated into a ghost. Before you died in your previous life, you absorbed The idea of ​​hundreds of thousands of fighting spirits on the battlefield, so he became the king of ghosts."

Then he turned his head and told Rong Qi what had happened before: "...So in order to retrieve his memory and unlock this ecstasy lock, we must go to the underworld."

Jiong Wu then said to Rong Qi: "You have been an earth fairy near the scorched earth for a while, and you are familiar with the servants of the underworld. Do you know how to unlock this ecstasy lock?"

"I don't know how to solve it..." Rong Qi pondered, "But I can add some other information to you. In addition to the usefulness of this lock, it can also seal memory and cultivation. The ghost king can suddenly kill you Pulling back from the dream to reality must be due to the ghost king’s powerful thoughts loosening the seal of the ecstasy lock. Hei Wuchang reminded the ghost king of some memories, and it should also loosen the ecstasy lock.”

Jiong Wu was shocked: "Could he be able to solve it? He lied to me before?"

"I'm not sure about this, but I guess he can only go so far. A little help for you can disguise it as the ghost king's own thoughts, but if you loosen the lock a little bit, there will be no trouble for the king of Hades. There will be a response. He can't let Hades know that he is helping you."

Yu Mohui was at a loss: "Heiwuchang is helping us? Isn't he from the underworld?"

Jiong Wu took a deep look at Yu Mohui: "The origin of this will not be known until you retrieve your memory, but he can only help us secretly, you just treat him as an enemy." .”

Rong Qi went on to say: "But only part of the memory is sealed by the ecstasy lock. Most of the memory should still be in the soul lost by the ghost king. Is the soul lost by the ghost king Shuangling?"

"Yes." Jiongwu replied.

Yu Mohui felt that he knew every word said by this fairy and ghost, but he couldn't understand the complete words, so he could only ask in a daze: "Shuangling...what is it?"

Jiong Wu explained to him: "Humans have three souls and seven souls, and the three souls include fetal light, refreshing spirit and ghost essence. The refreshing spirit you lost is in charge of wisdom, so most of your memories are in the refreshing soul."

"Then you gave me your refreshing soul? Why do you still have the memory of the past?" Yu Mohui asked.

Jiong Wu chuckled: "I was originally a fairy, and the soul of a fairy is not divided into three souls and seven souls. Naturally, it cannot be compared with a human soul."

Yu Mo replied that he understood, but suddenly remembered something, and asked: "Didn't you say that you are older than him, why is he already looking like an old man, and you are still so young? Could it be that you are trying to stay young?" Did you degenerate into a ghost?"

Jiong Wu had an incredulous expression on her face, she really wanted to pry open Yu Mohui's head to see how his brain circuit was formed.

On the other hand, Rong Qi looked embarrassed, coughed lightly, and said: "This... Immortals and ghosts who are not bad in strength can change their appearance and age at will. This is because I like to stroll in this mountain and occasionally meet some mortals. It's not easy to make them suspicious by changing the appearance of being a veteran..."

Yu Mohui: ...

After the embarrassment, one person, one ghost and one fairy continued to talk about business.

"I'm afraid I can't help you with your trip to the underworld, and it's impossible for the heavens to let me go to the underworld. But I heard that there is a spiritual spring in the scorched earth at the junction of hell and the world, and a kind of fruit grows in the spring water. As long as you eat the fruit, you can make the living soul solid within seven days, and the dead soul live with flesh and blood. The king of ghosts can eat the fruit before going to the underworld, so even if he fails to regain his soul, he doesn't have to worry about letting the king of Hades take it away. Your soul is taken away."

Jiong Wu's eyes lit up.

Rong Qi went on to say: "I will go to my old friends in the next few days to inquire about the situation in the underworld and the matter of the soul lock. If I have any news, I will tell the two of you."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Jiong Wu sincerely thanked Rong Qi.

But Yu Mohui was silent for a while, hesitantly said: "The way of heaven...what is it?"

"The way of heaven is heaven. Heaven governs the sky, earth governs the earth, heaven governs the living, and earth governs the dead. The sky and the earth do not interfere with each other, and the two parties should try their best to avoid conflicts. I am an immortal, so the heaven governs me. Let me go to hell."

"So Heaven doesn't care about our affairs?"

Rong Qi suddenly laughed.

Yu Mohui was puzzled.

Rong Qi asked, "Does the Ghost King know how you got your name in this life?"

Yu Mohui didn't understand what this had to do with his name, but he still answered seriously: "My father's surname is Yu, and my mother's surname is Mo. They were working away from home when I was born. They just wanted to earn more money early and go home, so Name me 'Yu Mohui'."

Jiong Wu smiled and said, "Don't you find it strange that you want to go home but call 'Mo Hui'?"

Yu Mohui had complained about this problem to his parents before, but he only got a blank stare from Mo Lanfang in response.He didn't reply to Jiong Wu's words, but turned to look at the smiling Rong Qi.

"So," Rong Qi said, "this is not the name your parents gave you."

Yu Mo had a vague guess in his heart.

"It's the way of heaven." Rong Qi finished speaking.
