The Ascension of Ghosts

Lu Sheng was in a trance, and he didn't check for a while, but he heard the boy shout "Lu Sheng!" He is petite, and now he moves so fast that even Lu Sheng can't stop him, so he took three steps in two steps, circled around After getting behind Lu Sheng, he spread his hands to block the black shadow.

The black shadow hit, Lu Sheng turned around, hugged Xie Rong to dodge, and the hanging pot was unsheathed and slashed sideways, all of which were completed in an instant, but it was still half a step late. As the wind swept, there was an ear-piercing hiss, and most of the red light hidden in it was knocked and dissipated, as dim as a candle in the wind.

The black shadow retreated in embarrassment, back into the temple, and gradually formed a shape. Its head was like a vulture, its body was like an eagle, it was half the height of a man, its black feathers were messy and ugly, and its pair of crimson bird eyes were small and cold, full of evil spirit, staring at the two of them with hatred.

Lu Sheng half-kneeled on the ground, holding the sword in one hand and holding the boy in his arms with the other, and said in a low voice, "This is... the ghost car?"

Xie Rong's right shoulder was bloody and bloody, and there was a black air spreading from top to bottom, but he endured it and did not cry out for pain. Most of his body was leaning on the young man's arms, it was extremely cold, and he couldn't restrain himself from shaking.Even so, he was still stubborn and refused to cry out. He just gritted his teeth and said, "It's just...the lantern..."

Lu Sheng hurriedly took Xie Rong's hand out, took back the lantern that was placed on the ground beside him, and asked Xie Rong to pick it up, but Xie Rong refused to take it away. He just grabbed Lu Sheng's lapel tightly and said in a low voice: "The ghost car is only for you!" It’s okay for you to kidnap the child. You just need to carry the lantern and walk twenty li to the east. When you see a locust tree forest, hang the lantern on the locust tree and go straight back to the city. You will be safe. Don’t worry about me .”

Lu Sheng raised his fist, knocked on the boy's head, and said coldly, "Stop thinking about it, if you risk your life again, I will really ignore you. People must be self-valued, and future generations Guizhi. If you don’t hesitate to die, why should others worry about you? It’s better to die cleanly.”

There was resentment in his heart, so it was inevitable that he spoke harshly. How could the little boy have been reprimanded like this before? He couldn't help hugging his aching head. He was sour and resentful for a moment, but he also vaguely felt the joy of intimacy .All kinds of feelings in my heart are unprecedented.

However, before the two could come to a conclusion, the candles in the temple suddenly blazed brightly, making it as bright as day for dozens of feet outside the door. Lu Sheng and Xie Rong were surrounded by reddish light, and two narrow roads stretched behind them. The shadows, even the lanterns were suppressed and dimmed.

Xie Rong's complexion changed, she turned her head to stare at the temple, a tall figure was gradually stepping out, but it was the stone statue of the Empress Sending Children enshrined in the main hall of the temple, and it moved like a living thing.

That standing statue has a face shaped like a full moon, with kind eyebrows, a slight smile on its lips, willow-leaf eyebrows, autumn eyes, a long skirt that is like a cloud and mist, and a silk wrapping around its shoulders like a ray of light. Inside the swaddling baby in its arms, there is a palm-sized blue and black hair faintly exposed. Grimacing faces, red eyes and long fangs, and two horns on the head, but still waiting to be fed like a baby.

This is not only the statue of the mother who sent the child, but also the standing statue of Hari Dimu, which was not stained with dust. Chief Che, you smashed it in a few words. But I don't know which guru's disciple it is?"

Xie Rong's body trembled due to the pain and coldness, Lu Sheng simply picked him up again, Xie Rong was carrying the lantern, and he was supporting Xie Rong, with one hand guarding against the horizontal sword against his chest, the sound of flapping wings became more and more dense, Unknowingly, the open space outside the light and the trees were covered with dozens of ghost cars.

The little Tong forced himself to reply: "Family teacher Ge Hong."

The standing statue closed its eyes and sighed: "Since Zhang Daoling, the Five Dou Rice Sect has unified the Taoist schools in the world, abolished the evil sects and orthodox traditions, and played the banner of Zhengyuan Qingliu. They were all assigned to the evil sect, and their inheritance was cut off. But I never imagined that this Master Ge, who was determined to live forever, had acquired some ancient mystic arts and taught them to his disciples...Little baby, you are talented and intelligent, following the mortals After all, the achievements around you are limited, so it is better to worship me as a foster mother. I will treat you as my own, take good care of you, and pass on your supernatural powers. In the world, do you think it's okay?"

Xie Rong sneered coldly: "The devil is an outsider, and his tone is not small. I am a good person, why do I worship the ghost mother?"

The statue frowned slightly, and gently shook the swaddle, "I have good intentions, you don't know what is good or bad. If you don't obey, I will tell the story of your practice of magic to Wuchen Temple and ask them to come and destroy it." You have cultivated yourself."

Xie Rong's face was pale, but he still said solemnly: "In the world, there are ways to do things, and there are ways to do nothing. But you can do what you want, use what you want, and there is no right or wrong in art. Only people can distinguish between good and evil. I am a disciple of Ge Hong, and I am Weinan. The eldest son of Hou Di, who neither does evil nor hurts others, lives peacefully in the Wuwei Island where the eminent monks of Xingshan Temple set up formations, and Wuchen Temple has no right to interfere. But Empress Hari, in the eyes of Xingshan Temple, is It is the protector of the evil sect. If the empress shows up, I am afraid that she will be in danger first."

The standing statue only smiled, full of kindness, and patted the swaddling baby in its arms lightly, before saying: "Niezi Luohu, you have sharp teeth and sharp mouth. The formation on your island has long been useless. If you invite monks to go examine……"

Lu Sheng couldn't help frowning, interrupted the standing statue and said, "Where are all these nonsense, Ah Rong, where are your mother's old books?"

Xie Rong said: "In... swaddling clothes."

Lu Sheng was dumbfounded, this little boy really knew how to hide, so he had to tell Xie Rong to hold him tightly, and then rushed towards the statue.

In an instant, there was a clattering sound, and ghost cars flying all over the sky, accompanied by noise and screaming, rushed towards the two of them.

Lu Sheng pulled out countless sword flowers casually, like glowing autumn lotuses, in full bloom, with deadly moves, where the sword light passed, the shadows dissipated, ghosts cried and gods howled, and countless pomegranate seeds scattered all over the ground.

==========

Du Shi drank the medicine and felt a little tired, so he leaned on the couch and fell asleep, and unexpectedly fell into a deep sleep.In a trance, I saw two shriveled and short men in black with sharp mouths and monkey cheeks pushing each other, approaching her, and complaining as they walked: "It's not good for the leaders of the Yuan clan to set so many rules and say What is not desirable for an only child, a posthumous child, a good family child, and a military household... so troublesome. It took a long time to pick and choose this one. Even though they are twins, they insisted on keeping one and keeping the other. What did you say? Don't commit any crimes... The empress is in a hurry again, but what's the taste of a fetus that is only two months old? You go and tell her."

Another person also said: "Go and talk to her."

The two blamed each other and gradually got closer.

Du Shi only felt that the surroundings were dark and endless, she was not in her own room, she was about to escape, but her feet felt like a heavy stone was falling, she couldn't move forward, her consciousness was also dizzy, even though she tried her best, she could only tremble Ask a few words: "What, who?"

The two men giggled, but their expressions were indescribably wretched, and they cupped their hands and said, "Congratulations to Madam for having twins. The little ones are here to honor your Majesty's orders and invite Madam to be your guest."

There were countless doubts in Du's heart, but he couldn't open his mouth no matter what, he couldn't help being frightened and frightened, he only heard the two people say: "Ma'am, if you don't speak, then it's permission."

She vaguely felt that her body was floating in the air, and the wind was blowing in her ears, and after an unknown period of time, the movement stopped, and someone was talking in her ears again.

One person said: "Idiot, why did you bring adults here?"

The other two hurriedly replied: "The fetus is too delicate. If you take it directly, you will die on the spot. I am afraid that the empress will dislike it as a dead thing. It is better to bring the mother and give the empress a taste. Take one, keep the other, and give her Send it back."

Another person said: "The leader of the Yuan family is gone, so why follow her rules, why don't we take both, once the empress is happy, maybe she can give us a little bit of leftovers."

Immediately, several voices echoed, saying that this plan is very clever.

Du Shi heard it in a daze, although the other things are not clear, there is only one thing that is absolutely true: these monsters who don't know where are going to lay hands on the child in her womb.

She clenched her fists tightly, her nails pierced her palms and caused sharp pain. She just woke up a little bit, and then she saw clearly that she was lying on the ground in an old temple, surrounded by black strange birds, staring at her with red eyes. She uttered strange screams.

Outside the temple gate, there was a young man with a sharp sword in his hand, fighting back and forth with a huge stone statue. He had a vigorous figure, but he carried a young child on his back.

However, Mrs. Du was also at a loss. With the strength she didn't know where it came from, she jumped up suddenly and stumbled towards the outside of the temple, shouting sharply: "Young hero, help! Young hero, help! The monster wants to eat the baby in my stomach !"

Unexpectedly, the woman still had the strength to fight, she rushed out of the temple gate in a daze, rushed up hurriedly, pecked or scratched, and surrounded the woman.

Lu Sheng and Xie Rong naturally heard the woman calling for help, but they had different thoughts.Lu Sheng was furious after hearing this, but Xie Rong hesitated a little.

If this woman was used as a bait and ignored, the two of them would have a [-]% chance of snatching the book and escaping.

It's just that with Lu Sheng's temperament...he would definitely not sacrifice this innocent woman and the child in her womb.

Xie Rong had no choice but to sigh: "I only have one life-saving talisman...you protect that woman first."

Lu Sheng said: "Naturally." He swung his sword fiercely, and when the standing statue threw out its silk belt to capture the two of them, he suddenly rushed to the left, the hanging pot flickered with cold light, he slashed so that black feathers flew all over the sky, and rushed into the ghost car in the group.

Du Shi only protected her abdomen, her hair was disheveled, and her back and cheeks were scratched with bloodstains. With a childish face, he couldn't help being startled for a moment, and said in a voiceless voice: "Eldest Young Master?"

Xie Rong got off Lu Sheng's back, handed the lantern to Mrs. Du, told her to grab it, and then said: "It turns out that I am a servant of Xie's mansion, so please stay behind me."

Du recalled that her husband could not see how the eldest son was being neglected, and wanted to report to Lord Hou, but she was afraid of offending his wife, so she urged her to stop her husband.Now I have to rely on Xie Rong to save my life, and I can't help feeling extremely ashamed.

It's just that saving her life is the most important thing, so she naturally obeyed, holding the lantern handle firmly, and followed closely behind the two.

Xie Rong's face was pale and pale, and she was on the verge of falling, but she held on to herself, took off a black jade talisman from her neck, gritted her teeth and broke it in half.

A puff of red smoke suddenly rose from the black jade talisman, and it turned into a one-legged crane in mid-air. Flames were burning all over its body. With the Qingyue Crane screaming, circles of flames spread around, and when many ghost cars touched the flames, It was immediately burned to ashes, leaving only a few burnt black pomegranate seeds.

Now that Lu Sheng had some free time, he tore off some cloth strips from his underwear and wrapped them up for Xie Rong hastily, before he said: "Since the ghost car is gone, it's easy to deal with only one stone statue left, I'll go fetch the books for you , you and... this..."

Du Shi was trembling, but still said: "My concubine's husband's family name is Zhao."

Lu Shengcai said, "Let's go to the city with Mrs. Zhao."

Xie Rong frowned and said, "I won't leave either if you don't leave."

Lu Sheng straightened his face and said, "Little baby is obedient..."

When the two of them were arguing, the flamingo had ignited dozens of circles of flames, its body shrunk by half, and then shrunk again to the size of a fist, with a blazing red light, it slammed into the standing statue of Hariti, without leaning to one side or another. Hit the swaddle.

Surrounded by the flames, the devil immediately wailed ear-piercingly, making the three of them dizzy, but fortunately, all the swaddling clothes were burned to ashes in a short time, so the old books might not be safe.

Lu Sheng lost his voice and said, "That's bad."

But Mother Hariti wailed in grief, her figure suddenly swelled, her fairy clothes were torn apart, and she transformed from a benevolent empress into a blue-black evil ghost that was more than twice the height of an ordinary person in a blink of an eye , with blue-faced fangs, barbs on fingers, two horns on his head, and a pair of red eyes like burning coals, he slapped the three of them on the head with his ghostly hand as big as a cattail leaf fan.

"Let's go!" Lu Sheng shouted angrily, and rushed towards the blue evil ghost, stabbing his palm with a sword.

Xie Rong fell to his knees on the ground. After all, he had been practicing profound arts for too short a time and his means were limited. Now he even used the life-saving jade talisman at the bottom of the box. His energy was exhausted and he was seriously injured. Now it is difficult to even move. .He looked at the back of the young man rushing out resolutely, so he could only clenched his fists and shouted: "Lu Sheng, Hari Dimu has the form of compassion, and the ghost mother god has the form of wrath. Since it shows the form of wrath, it will kill you!" All living beings, no matter how old or young they are, don’t let anyone go. If you don’t hurry—"

Before he could utter the word escape, he felt a sudden chill all around him, and there were many crawling and whispering sounds.

That Mrs. Du ran away alone with the lantern, out of the light of the lantern, the road of Yin and Yang was cut off, the ghosts of the underworld were naturally unscrupulous, and surrounded them, because the ghosts and monsters were cautious, and now they are still waiting and discussing how to divide the living people. Eat it.

Xie Rong was in a desperate situation, unable to do anything, only looked up, but saw Lu Sheng was holding a hanging pot, and his figure was flying in the air. Because he couldn't turn around in time, he was firmly held in his hand by the other ghost claw of the ghost mother god, as if he was about to be crushed in an instant. Bloody mud, broken bones.

The little boy finally lost his composure, and let monsters, big and small, pounce on him. He opened his mouth and bit, and the cool air penetrated into his bone marrow, but he just burst into tears and called out: "Lu Sheng! Lu Sheng! Lu Sheng!"
