Raising ghosts is risky

Whether Xing Zhan likes it or not, the Ghost Festival is still here.

He thought it was just a group of ghosts gathering together to be lively, but he didn't expect that their underworld would actually hold a grand festival, just like a temple fair.

At night, the gate of ghosts opens, and the ghosts in the underworld rush out like children after school, eager to enjoy their annual celebration.Gong Mu led Xing Zhan to walk in the streets and alleys. From Xing Zhan's eyes, he could see that the world was two overlapping parts, one part was the real world, people who came back late walked hurriedly with their heads down, and the other part was the world of ghosts, big and small. The little ghosts went shopping happily.

The commercial street is still a commercial street, with all kinds of ghost merchants hawking along the street, and from time to time you can see young ghosts walking by with skewers in their hands, talking and laughing.There are also some ghosts wandering around the street, seeming to be looking for something.A group of people burned paper on the side of the street, and placed a lot of offerings. A little ghost was eating a big peach with great enthusiasm. A peach accidentally rolled down. The little ghost ran after the peach and was caught by the ghost mother: "Follow you!" How many times have I said, don't eat what falls on the ground!"

"The ghosts of the Ghost Festival are basically the ghosts who have not had time to reincarnate after the new mourning, or the ghosts who are stranded in the underworld to be tortured. The ghost emperor attaches great importance to the safety of the human world." Gong Mu explained.

Xing Zhan looked around, and sure enough, he saw many ghost guards on guard, just like the police on National Day Street.

They hang out all the way.The white horse and the green horse followed behind them, bumping into me and bumping into you from time to time. Although they have become refined people, the habits of horses still cannot be changed.

Walking all the way to the lake, there is a special area on the lake for people to put lights on. Various colored lotus lanterns float on the lake, guiding lost ghosts back to Naihe Bridge.

"Do you want to put one too?" Gong Mu asked.

Xing Zhan snorted: "I don't want to engage in such feudal superstition activities!"

The two girls bought a lantern, lit it, and put it into the lake. The lantern floated away with the water, and they clapped their hands happily. The candlelight illuminated their young faces.

In a peaceful and prosperous age, for most people, no matter how much meaning there is, it is just a kind of entertainment.

How about I buy one too?Anyway, I've seen a lot of ghosts recently, so let's help them on their way.Just as Xing Zhan was thinking, a lit lantern appeared in front of him.

Gong Mu held up the lamp and looked at him with a smile, his face was even more beautiful under the warm candlelight.

"Then I'll just reluctantly put one in." Xing Zhan accepted the lamp with a face of reluctance, and gently put it into the river.

When the wind blows, the lotus lanterns go along the water, and gather together with many dotted lanterns on the lake, looking from a distance, it looks like stars falling to the ground.

Gong Mu stood on the shore and watched from a distance, the breeze blew his hair and lifted the corners of his clothes, and instantly had the illusion that he was about to disappear with the wind.Xing Zhan's heart trembled, and he grabbed his wrist.Gong Mu looked back, his eyes met, as if there was no one else around.

"What's wrong?" Gong Mu asked.

Xing Zhan didn't know how to answer: "I'm afraid you will fall." After finishing speaking, he felt that this excuse was too bad.

Gong Mu smiled brightly, held Xing Zhan's hand instead, and placed a kiss on his lips.

Xing Zhan jumped up in fright and looked around in a panic, but fortunately no one paid attention to them.

"What are you messing around with!" Xing Zhan said angrily.

"Afraid of what?" Gong Mu didn't care.

"What if people see it!" Xing Zhan wiped his lower lip vigorously.

"Then let them see it!" Gong Mu pressed his shoulder and wanted to kiss him again.

Xing Zhan was originally a thick-skinned person, but he was very shy in this matter, so one wanted to kiss and the other wanted to hide, and the two pushed and tumbled and fell into the grass.

It's not a big deal for the green horse and white horse to watch the excitement.

"I bet my master wins." The white horse clenched its fists and said.

"I bet my master loses." Qing Ma said calmly.

The white horse was stunned for a while and said: "Isn't that the same? Then what's the bet?"

The green horse patted the white horse: "Then you win."

In the end, Gong Mu pressed Xing Zhan into the grass and kissed him hard before letting go.

Xing Zhan stared at him viciously, and angrily threw the leaf stuck to his forehead on the ground: "Don't go too far, Gong Mu!"

Gong Mu licked his lips provocatively, like a satiated cat: "It's very sweet."

Xing Zhan blushed, the only way to deal with Gong Mu was to ignore him.

They played like this until late at night. At midnight, the yin energy reached its peak, and all the ghosts fell into carnival.

The bright full moon hangs high in the sky, Judge Cui stands on the top of the building, his figure looks darker under the silvery moonlight.Several ghost messengers reported to him one after another. He looked stern and nodded slightly.

Xing Zhan looked away: "What are you going to do?"

Gong Mu said: "There are so many hostile and resentful ghosts tonight, Huaji Ghost is his favorite, he will definitely not miss it, as long as he takes action, we will be able to catch his trace."

Xing Zhan nodded repeatedly, but when he thought of the book of life and death, he was always worried.

A ghost messenger appeared in front of them, bowed to Gong Mu, whispered a few words to him, and then disappeared into the green smoke.

"I found him." Gong Mu said, "I'll go back as soon as I go."

So fast and so smooth?Hua Jigui is extremely cunning, how could he be exposed so easily?Xing Zhan couldn't believe it for a while, and grabbed Gong Mu's arm even more forcefully: "Is there any fraud?"

"We have already considered that there will be others watching, so I have to go."

Xing Zhan still felt uneasy. He held on tightly but refused to let go. He wanted to follow, but he felt it was too reluctant. Was Judge Cui wanting to do it by force?

"You go to Cangminghai, I always feel that his side will not be peaceful tonight." Gong Mu approached Xing Zhan, his slightly cool lips brushed Xing Zhan's lips lightly, different from the previous kiss full of desire, Although this is light and shallow, it is full of affection and reluctant to part.

But in the end their lips were still touching.Xing Zhan watched him leave, and Qingma transformed into his original form, and carried him to Cangminghai's house.

Trust is the best way to solve problems, Xing Zhan said to himself.

Arriving at Cang Ming Hai's house, the huge warehouse in the darkness seemed colder than before, like a huge monster, lying there quietly, waiting for its own prey.

The doorbell sounded more startling than usual, Cang Minghai opened the door: "Why are you here?"

Xing Zhan thought about it: "It's the Hungry Ghost Festival tonight, it's better to have someone guarding your side."

"Come in." Cang Minghai said.

Cangminghai is Cangminghai after all, he is cautious and considerate.He threaded red thread with copper coins and spread it around the room, and as soon as he stepped in, he could feel the majestic and surging aura of heaven.

"Where's Cangbo?" Xing Zhan asked.

Cang Minghai glanced upstairs: "I let him stay in the room."

Xing Zhan was a little relieved, thinking that Cang Minghai was rich in experience, so he didn't need to say anything.

"Drink some tea." Cang Minghai brought out the teapot and poured a cup for each of them, "Xiao Bo's fate is doomed, if it happens tonight, it's up to him whether he can get by."

Xing Zhan's heart trembled, and when he looked at Cang Minghai again, he was less worried and more calm than the previous few days.

A loud bang came from afar, and Xing Zhan jumped up from the sofa and rushed to the window to look out.A ghostly aura stood in the corner of the sky like a sky pillar, and countless ghosts were imprisoned in the ghost pillar. They screamed and roared, not knowing whether it was out of threat or out of panic.But it wasn’t the direction Gong Mu was going in. Xing Zhan didn’t know whether to be lucky or sad. If it wasn’t Gong Mu’s direction, at least it meant that he was more likely to be safe, but if it wasn’t Gong Mu’s direction, it also meant that there were more traces of Hua Ji Gui. one place.

Returning to the sofa in panic, it wasn't long before there was another loud explosion, and Xing Zhan rushed to the window again.

The one just now was still there, and a ghost pillar also appeared in another direction opposite it.The ghosts rolled in the column, they pushed each other, as if they were driven by something, and they seemed to be bound by something, and more ghosts passing by were sucked in and stirred together.

Cang Minghai walked to the window, and the third ghost pillar rose from the ground, his expression changed slightly.

"Why are there so many?" Xing Zhan seemed to be asking, but also seemed to be talking to himself.

The fourth ghost pillar then appeared. Looking at the direction, Xing Zhan had a faint feeling of not being good.It seems to be the direction of Shuiyue family?

Just as he was wondering, the phone rang and woke him up: "Hello, who is it?"

The caller was the girl he hired, and she cried, "Zhan, brother Zhan, A Ling, she seems to be not normal again..."

Xing Zhan's heart skipped a beat, and he looked carefully at the orientation of the ghost pillars. Indeed, one seemed to be Lu Wei's home, and the other seemed to be Wang Chunxu's home.Is it just an illusion to get rid of Hua Jigui before?

"It's... how is it possible?" Cang Minghai muttered to himself.

"Do you know what this is?" Xing Zhan pressed the phone and asked.

Cang Minghai's face was pale: "I only read it in a miscellaneous book, and I thought it was made up by the ancients for the sake of absurdity and novelty. The underworld is under the Emperor Tianqi, and there are five ghost emperors who can give orders. All the ghosts have boundless mana. If I guess correctly, if this ghost pillar was not made by the five-fang ghost emperor, it is the Huaji ghost pretending to be the five-fang ghost emperor, summoning all the ghosts for personal gain."

Xing Zhan didn't quite understand what Cang Minghai was talking about, it was not good anyway, the girl on the other end of the phone was still crying: "Brother Zhan, what should we do, A Ling ran out just now, come here quickly !"

"Don't cry, don't worry, just stay at home and don't go out." Xing Zhan said a few words of comfort and then hung up the phone. Now is not the time for him to save people rashly, and going there by himself is probably just for his life. And Judge Cui has been preparing for so long, he should have expected such a situation, right?

But Xing Zhan is still a little worried: "Qing Ma, you go to their side to have a look, don't force it, try to protect others."

"Yes, Master." The green horse turned into a green light and left.

When the four ghost pillars shot straight into the sky like thick smoke, the fifth ghost pillar broke through the ground.

It is the direction of Gong Mu.

Xing Zhan stared blankly, but after being too shocked, he lost any expression.What if the former possession of taboo was just an illusion?What if everything is just for today?Thinking about it carefully, Xing Zhan felt his hair stand on end.

From this point of view, he could only secretly hope that Gong Mu would be safe and sound.

Just when they were worried, there was a sound of glass breaking in Cang Bo's room.

Cang Minghai jumped up to the second floor like a rabbit, and in a flash, he slammed open the door. The agility of his movements was not at all like that of an ordinary centenarian.

Xing Zhan's movements can be considered fast, he stepped up the steps in a few steps, and rushed to the door of Cang Bo's room.I saw that the window was smashed, and there was no one in the room.

Cang Minghai didn't know what came to mind, he jumped out of the window and climbed towards the roof.

"Don't be in a hurry to go up!" Xing Zhan chased after him, but he couldn't stop the stubborn Cang Minghai at all, so he had to turn out the window and climb up the water pipe with hands and feet.

"Damn unlucky!" Xing Zhan muttered while climbing, fortunately the building is not high, fortunately he can climb stairs.

Climbing up to the roof, Xing Zhan saw Cang Bo, naked to the waist, squatting on a corner of the roof like an ape, looking at the five ghost pillars in the sky.

Cang Minghai stood on the opposite corner of the roof, watching Cang Bo's back, not daring to approach rashly.

"Xiao Bo?" Cang Minghai called out tentatively, his worry was still revealed in his voice.

Cang Bo turned his head slowly, his eyes were completely black, without whites, and there was a kind of indifference and ferocity on his face that did not belong to him.He grinned soundlessly, the corners of his mouth opening almost to the ears.

Cang Minghai swayed, Xing Zhan quickly stepped forward to support him.

Turning taboo ghosts?With the help of the five emperors, Huajigui absorbed the soul power of Wangui, and took Cangbo's physical body as his own?If he is a ghost of jealousy, then what are Gong Mu and the others doing?

But Xing Zhan didn't allow Xing Zhan to think too much, Hua Jigui had already opened his mouth, and he said to Cang Minghai: "You seriously injured me many years ago, but you still remember that mere mortals dared to hurt my immortal body, death is not a pity!"

So far, nothing to be afraid of.Cang Minghai said: "You ruined my teacher's school, and caused my school to go up and down, how should this account be settled?"

Hua Jigui smirked: "It's that old stubborn who wants to become a fairy and wants to go crazy, can you blame me? He doesn't even think about what he is, but also wants to fly to a fairy?"

Hearing him insulting Shimen, Cang Minghai clenched his fists angrily.

Hua Jigui swayed to his feet, wanting to appreciate his new body like a piece of clothing: "It's not bad, very young and full of vitality."

Cang Minghai said angrily: "What do you want!"

"What's the rush?" Hua Jigui said leisurely, "Don't worry, I won't be able to use your mortal body for long, and when I finish absorbing the spiritual power from this skin, it will be returned to you naturally, so don't dislike it then. ’ he said, laughing, as shrill as a crow.

Cang Minghai pursed his thin lips tightly, drew out a mahogany sword, the tip of the sword sank slightly, and pointed at Hua Jigui.

"Hahaha! Do you think that toys like yours can hurt me?" Hua Jigui laughed loudly.

Cang Minghai remained silent, staring at Huajigui with eyes like ice crystals.

Hua Jigui ignored him at all, turned his back to them carelessly, squatted on the ground, opened his mouth wide, and countless gray ghosts were sucked into his mouth.It was as if his stomach was a bottomless pit, and countless ghosts came and went to fill it up, no matter how they filled it, it couldn't be filled.

But Cang Bo's body couldn't bear his tossing, and soon there was something strange on his skin, and countless terrified grimaces appeared on his back one after another, as if trying to break through his body and escape.There are two kinds of expressions on Cang Bo's face, one is the pain of Cang Bo, and the other is the satisfaction of Hua Jigui, the two expressions appear alternately, weird and terrifying.

Cang Minghai gritted his teeth, took advantage of Hua Jigui's unawares to walk around behind him, and slashed his mahogany sword towards his neck.

Hua Jigui grinned, completely unable to see how he made the shot, just waved his arm, and Cang Minghai bounced back backwards.

Cang Minghai fell heavily to the ground, he seemed to be seriously injured, his body curled up into a ball, trembling like a fallen leaf in autumn.

Xing Zhan wanted to go up to help him, but Cang Minghai yelled: "Don't come over!"

How could Hua Jigui give him a chance to breathe, and he was as short as a lynx, and once again pounced on the Cangming Sea.

Cang Minghai fell to the ground, facing up to the sky, holding the mahogany sword in his hand, as if he was about to make a final fight.

A dark blue shadow flew towards him, blocking Cang Minghai, and confronting Hua Ji Gui.An emerald green figure arrived afterward, lying on the ground and staring at it.

"They're all here to die!" Huaji Guiguai laughed a few times, "It's a pity that I didn't send the two of you to the west together back then. But it doesn't matter, I will make up for this pity now!"

Thick smoke spewed out of Hua Jigui's eyes, and ghost faces that kept appearing and disappearing on the skin were fixed, and each face was distorted and deformed.

Song Youxuan stood upright in front of him, like a brush stroke dipped in thick ink on an elegant ink painting.

Looking at his back, Cang Minghai suddenly shouted out of composure: "Didn't you leave! Why are you coming back! You go! You don't have to deal with our Cang family's affairs! You go!"

Song Youxuan gave him a painful look, but didn't move. Fei Cui lay at his feet, her jaw twitching, as if threatening.

"Go! Do you hear me! I tell you to go!" Cang Minghai shouted recklessly, his voice trembling uncontrollably.

Xing Zhan was puzzled, and suddenly had a strange idea in his heart.Song Youxuan turned a deaf ear, pinched the spirit formula, and a talisman was burned to ashes in his hand.Hua Jigui laughed unscrupulously, and rushed forward with grinning white teeth.Fei Cui flicked her tail suddenly, her body suddenly became several times larger, and she transformed into a large lizard, helping her.

Cang Minghai snorted, and his body shrank even smaller.

"You...you go!" Cang Minghai whimpered, his body trembling.

Xing Zhan considered himself a well-informed person, especially after getting to know Gong Mu, but he had never seen such a strange thing.A rotten smell floated from Cang Minghai's body, and the air waves from the fight cut his clothes like knives, the body covered by the clothes had no flesh in his limbs, only gray and white Dry bones.Cang Minghai fell to the ground and couldn't get up again, his handsome face began to rot, exposing his white bones, he covered his face in pain, unable to stop all this from happening.

Song Youxuan glanced at him, he was so surprised that he couldn't control himself, and hurriedly retreated to Cang Minghai: "Ming Hai?"

Cang Minghai covered his face, only half a human face and half a skeleton remained under the skeleton's ten fingers.

"Why is this happening? Why is the poison of divine punishment on your body so severe!" Song Youxuan couldn't believe his eyes.

The rapidly withered body made the clothes empty, and a palm-sized jade puppet fell out of Cang Minghai's arms.Song Youxuan picked it up and saw that the doll had no face, it was just carved into a human shape, but the date of birth on the back was clearly his own.

In an instant, Song Youxuan understood everything.

Back then, the poison of divine scourge on him was not suppressed at all, it was Cang Minghai who used the substitute technique to bear the poison of divine scourge on his behalf. Although there were occasional outbreaks over the years, they were quickly controlled, and it was not because of good cultivation of mind , but Cang Minghai bears it for him.Once he performs spells or does anything against the destiny, Cang Minghai will immediately react.Cang Minghai alone bears the poison of divine punishment from two people, his mortal body has no successor at all, he can only watch his body turn into bones little by little, but he is helpless.

Over the years, Cang Minghai has been living in such a state of being neither dead nor alive, human beings, ghosts, and ghosts. Every day he lives is a torment for him. The reason why he does not allow Song Youxuan to intervene is precisely because he knows his crippled body. He couldn't bear to fight again and again.

It's ridiculous that Song Youxuan always thought that Cang Minghai still held a grudge against him, but he didn't know that Cang Minghai didn't want him to know, let alone let him see his ugly appearance.

"You..." Song Youxuan choked on the puppet that replaced him, "Why didn't you tell me?"

The eyes on Cang Minghai's side were no longer visible, he covered his face and turned his head, trying to push him away.

Song Youxuan hated himself immensely. Over the years, he had hated, resented, resented, and expected too much. He pretended to be a poor person, and thought that he had a lot of experience in restraining the poison of God's wrath, but he didn't want everything to be a joke, and he didn't want the person he cared the most to be doing for him all the time. Take everything silently by yourself.

He has carved a jade puppet for a lifetime, but it is not as good as a person who only carves one in a lifetime.

Without Song Youxuan, Fei Cui, a spiritual pet, was no match for Hua Jigui at all, and was thrown to the ground by him a few times, with her belly up and her limbs trembling.

Song Youxuan didn't dare to move anymore, for fear that the poison of divine punishment would be fed back to Cang Minghai and accelerate his skeletalization.

Hua Jigui was triumphant, no one was his opponent anymore.

Xing Zhan braced himself and stood up, he understood that Song Youxuan and Cang Minghai had lost their fighting power, Fei Cui could not count on it, and he was the only one who could stand in front of Hua Ji Gui.

Hua Jigui tilted his head to look at him, and smiled sinisterly: "Get out of the way, I don't want to smash my next body."

If Xing Zhan was just ordinary annoyed before, then this sentence completely aroused his anger: "You really don't think of yourself as an outsider, a mouse like you that everyone shouts and beats should stay in the stinky house." In the ditch, don't take yourself too seriously!"

Hua Jigui kept laughing: "You are not the same as before."

Xing Zhan retorted: "You are the same as before, you were a stinky mouse before, and you are still now!"

Hua Jigui's face darkened: "Okay, I won't give you another chance to play tricks." As soon as he finished speaking, his ten fingers turned into sharp claws, stabbing at Xing Zhan like ten sharp knives.

His movements were so fast that Xing Zhan rolled on the spot and managed to dodge, but he still scratched a few marks on his body.

Hua Jigui didn't give Xing Zhan a chance to breathe at all, and stretched his claws towards his throat, trying to subdue him with one move.

"You don't take me seriously." A flame of red stood in front of Xing Zhan, kicking Hua Ji Gui away.Gong Mu is like the sun falling to the ground, sweeping away the gloom brought by Hua Ji Gui.

Looking at the ghost pillar on the other side, I don't know when one was missing, and it was the one in the direction of Gong Mu.

Hua Jigui was slightly taken aback: "How did you escape from the ghost emperor's order?"

Gong Mu swept away the non-existent dust: "What kind of illusion makes you think that something like the Ghost Emperor Order can trap me?"

The order of the ghost emperor compels all the immortals to obey the order. There are very few ghost emperors who are higher than the five ghost emperors in this world, but Gong Mu is a master who can draw his fist in front of the Jade Emperor.

But Gong Mu can deceive others, but Xing Zhan cannot. From his standing posture and trembling hands behind his back, Xing Zhan realized that he was injured.

"True Monarch Huaji, is it necessary for you to make such a big battle?" At this time, Gong Mu was powerless to fight Huaji Ghost again, so he could only delay the time as much as possible.

"I know you guys want to catch me." Hua Jigui smiled, "It's necessary, it's so necessary. After tonight, I'm one step closer to solidification."

"Do you really think that ghosts, big and small, in the underworld will let you devour ghosts?"

Hua Jigui didn't know if he saw that Gong Mu was procrastinating on purpose or what, he just smiled and stopped arguing with him.The Ghost Pillar has changed from five to four. Although it is missing a bit, it has little effect on Hua Ji Gui.There is a thread on the top of the ghost pillar extending infinitely, and the four ghost pillars gather on the top of Huajigui's head and pour into his zenith.

Almost instantly, he could feel the powerful power in him, anger, greed, deceit, irritability, all negative energy poured into his body, like a clear spring pouring into a long-dry farmland, he kept absorbing it, enjoying it.

Of course Gong Mu couldn't watch him grow stronger, so he lifted it up with all his strength, flicked his sleeves, and shot out like two red knives.

But Hua Jigui didn't even look at it, before the red light flew to him, it suddenly hit an invisible wall of air and disappeared.

"Yinghuo Xingjun, is this all you can do?" Hua Jigui grinned at him.

Gong Mu frowned, in order to escape from the ghost pillar as soon as possible, he was exhausted, and this time he couldn't use half of his usual strength.

Hua Jigui straightened up, and walked towards Gong Mu step by step: "Ying Huo Xingjun, how did you think about my proposal last time? It's a pity to bow down to those people with your aptitude."

"I'm not interested at all!" Gong Mu said coldly.

"Oh, really?" Hua Jigui's face turned cold, "It's such a pity, it turns out that you are only superficial, but you are also extremely stupid. If this is the case, I can't keep you and become my obstacle! "

As soon as the words fell, Hua Jigui pounced like an eagle, and even Xing Zhan could clearly feel that the Hua Jigui in front of him was different from the Hua Jigui in the past.

"Be careful!" Xing Zhan blurted out.

The black shadow fought fiercely with Gong Mu's red glow. Although Gong Mu was wounded, he was stubborn, and with his breath, he was even able to fight Hua Ji Gui even for a while.

But just as they were entangled, Hua Jigui suddenly withdrew from the battle and rushed towards Xing Zhan who was standing beside him.He knew very well that this was Gong Mu's weakness.

Shocked, Xing Zhan took a few steps back, only to see Hua Jigui's face magnified infinitely before his eyes.

At the very moment, Gong Mu flashed up in front of him and slapped him forcefully.

Gong Mu swayed and fell into Xing Zhan's arms.

"Gong Mu, are you important?" Xing Zhan felt the person in his arms tremble a few times.

"Your husband is very nice!"

Xing Zhan was furious: "What time is it, you still want to take advantage of me!"

Hua Ji ghostly smiled: "Emotions are harmful things, haven't you understood after all these years?"

Gong Mu adjusted his clothes: "I don't understand. By the way, why did you escape to the world like a bereaved dog?"

Hua Jigui's face froze.

"Okay, stop occupying the person's body." Gong Mu took advantage of his turmoil, and suddenly stepped in front of Hua Jigui, punching his chest, piercing his body.
