What is the ghost king?

The official descriptions are all skipped, in a word, the most capable thugs in the underworld.

What is the underworld?

All the ghosts in the world belong to the underworld.A statement as early as the ancient times made the government of the underworld incomparably correct in its policies. All the ghosts in the world are under the jurisdiction of the government of the underworld.The reincarnation of yin and yang is the way of heaven, and anyone who does not follow this way should be classified as a heretic, knocked down and kicked ten thousand feet.

It is true that with the strength and manpower of the underworld, it is really impossible to truly "return to the underworld" (otherwise there would not be so many lonely ghosts to confuse the ghost king in his experience), but in any case, Yi Zhong's mistake Identity, when I saw a wandering soul, it was my duty to do a favor and send him to the underworld.This way he entered a ghost town, which is no different from a cat entering a mouse den.

What's more terrible is that Zhong Cuo is not strong as a ghost king who has experienced experience. Most of the ghosts and ghosts he encounters on weekdays can't recognize him. With his cultivation, he could see his identity at a glance.

Naturally, the "rats" would not sit still. After the man (ghost)'s earth-shattering voice, a gust of wind suddenly blew up in the ghost town, and the ghost shadows flickered.The male ghost didn't run away either, but stood on the spot with great loyalty, straightened his body, his face was solemn and solemn, obviously he was determined to use his thin body to stop Zhong Tiao's footsteps.

Zhong Cuo: "..."

"Are you the ghost king?" Jin Yang finally realized, his face changed suddenly, and the eyes that looked at Zhong Cuo were as sharp as looking at a class enemy, "You actually lied to me!"

Zhong Cuo: "..."

He rushed forward a few steps and stopped in front of the male ghost: "Uncle, back off, you are a ghost and I am a human, I don't believe that the ghost king can kill people casually!"

Zhong Cuo silently recalled his scope of authority - indeed, as a ghost king, he has the obligation to protect mortals, let alone killing people at will, but the principle of the underworld is very clear, the premise of protecting mortals is that mortals do not make trouble, deliberately stop the ghost king " On the road of "executing official duties"... no one dares to complain about injustice even if they are killed.

The two of them delayed for a while, and the other side of the ghost town has also lined up, and they will come over in a threatening manner.Facts have proved that the people in the ghost town are very united. It seems that there are hundreds of people rushing towards Zhongcuo, ranging from the gray-haired old man to the seven or eight-year-old doll. Some of them have ghosts, and everyone has a serious face.The leader is an old woman, hale and hearty, her hair is all white, combed into a regular bun, and the charm of her youth can still be seen in her eyebrows and eyes.She took the lead and walked in the forefront, and a row of ghosts stood behind her, each mentioning something.Judging from Zhong Cuo's eyes, the row of ghosts is actually ghosts and immortals, and the last stream also has the strength of the fourth and fifth ranks, as well as the first and second ranks, and the old woman who is faintly the leader... She is a mortal, but she just stands there for some reason. First.

It is almost impossible for ghosts practicing in the yang world to reach this level, because there is too little yin energy in the yang world, unless they use some method of harming others to benefit themselves or find some genius treasures.However, whether it is these ghosts or the ghosts next to them, the aura on their bodies is very pure, without blood, and they are obviously cultivated according to the rules.This entry is due to the blessing of this land.

As soon as you enter the ghost town, Zhongcuo will understand the origin of the name. Apart from the many ghosts living here, the concentration of Yin energy in the ghost town is actually similar to that of the underworld!

Practicing here is no different from being in the underworld. There is such a special place in Yangjian. If those ghosts who are eager to practice know... Zhong Cuo can't help but frown.While he was thinking, the old woman had already stepped forward and bowed slightly towards Zhong Cuo: "I don't know if the ghost king is coming, what's the matter?"

Her voice was cold, hostile and tense.

Seeing that the clock was wrong and did not speak, the old woman added with a sullen face: "The ghost town has been established here for more than three hundred years. Everyone has devoted themselves to cultivating here and never dared to harm living beings. There was a fairy family here in the heavens back then. It’s okay to personally allow the ghost town to exist..."

"Xianjia?" Zhong Cuo froze for a moment, then frowned slightly.

The relationship between the Underworld and the Heavenly Court is not very easy, after all, there are too many examples of those gods interfering with life and death at will.I don't know who the "fairy family" is in the old woman's mouth, but no matter who it is, it's okay to say that ghost towns exist...

... Doesn't this take the underworld seriously?

Zhong Cuo's face darkened, and the old woman saw the clues. She didn't know that the relationship between the underworld and heaven was not as harmonious as many people imagined, but she could also sense Zhong Cuo's dissatisfaction, so she immediately changed her words: "That one What the Immortal said is naturally nothing compared to the Ghost King's direct words, I wonder what my lord...how do you want to deal with this place?"

When she said the last sentence, there was already a bit of bitterness in her words.They can also see that Zhong Cuo is just a ghost king who has experienced experience, not that the ghost king has come here in real life, and it is possible to win if he wants to fight.But when the ghost king dies, the underworld will be furious. At that time, a hundred thousand ghost troops will come over, and a hundred ghost towns will be crushed to ashes.

The old man spoke miserably, but Zhong Cuo was full of helplessness.After Jin Yang saw the old man, he opened his mouth and called grandma, her identity... If it is that one, then he will be in trouble later.

He sighed and bowed his hands.The ghosts standing over there were stunned for a moment, and then they scattered, like Moses dividing the sea.The king character of the ghost king is not placed there for nothing. The only one who is qualified to be polite to him in the underworld is Yan Luo of the Ten Palace. .

The old woman turned sideways in the same way, with a look of surprise on her face—I have never heard that the ghost king has the habit of being polite before killing ghosts. Is it true that even the underworld pays attention to civilized office work now?

Zhong Cuo smiled wryly, and said, "I'm Zhong Cuo, who has experienced the ghost king. Zhang Fei...is my priest."

The effect of this sentence was better than that of the previous salute. Everyone looked confused at first, and then whispered to each other, digging out the name "Zhang Fei" from each other's memories.Zhong Cuo glanced at Jin Yang, and the old woman immediately said, "Ah Yang, is that so?"

"Uh, it seems...yes, he came for the ghost boy..." Jin Yang remembered what Zhong Cuo said before entering the ghost town—he didn't forget it, but as soon as Zhong Cuo's identity was revealed, he took him as a ghost For the spies who sneaked into the ghost town, their previous rhetoric was naturally dismissed as nonsense.

Thinking about it now, the ghost king really wants to go to the ghost town, does he need to make nonsense?

"Xiaofei... is your priest?" The old woman asked cautiously.

"Yes." Zhong nodded.

"You came here for him?" This time he was not so careful, the old man raised his eyes, and there was a little... cunning.

"Yes."

"How...how is your relationship?"

Now it's not just the old lady, even the ghosts and people around have gossipy expressions on their faces...

Zhong Cuo struggled with the choice of words for a while, and after a long time he replied a bit stammeringly: "Similar...uh, siblings."

Even if you beat him to death, you can't say that you feel like father and son!

"Oh—" sighed one after another, and the old woman was greatly relieved, with a smile on her face.She looked at Zhong Cuo with a smile, her eyes narrowed and she was full of energy: "I am Jin Yuyang's mother, Zhang Fei's grandma, what should you call me?"

"..." After a moment of silence, Zhong Cuo lowered his head and cupped his hands: "Grandma!"

"Good boy!" The old woman clapped her hands vigorously, smiling like a cosmos...

When grandma yelled this sentence, everyone's hostility disappeared, and they scattered about what they should do now. A few people stayed there and looked at the clock as if they were watching a western scene.I still don’t forget you praised Zhang Fei one sentence at a time: I just said that Yuyang’s child is amazing, right out of the mother’s womb, he is extraordinary, and the people who left the ghost town have made great careers. It’s amazing that they all became ghost king priests ...

If Zhang Fei is here, he may be relieved: he can finally honor his ancestors.

Zhang Fei's grandma was the happiest one, and took Zhong Cuo's hand and dragged him back to his home (I didn't forget to knock Jin Yang on the way, because he didn't understand the situation and made everyone nervous) , as soon as Zhong Cuo sat down, a child brought out a bunch of snacks and called him uncle.Zhong Cuo stared at the doll who was not as tall as his legs and didn't know what to do. The old man said happily: "This is the grandson of the old man. He is five years old this year. My great-grandson~"

Grandma Zhang's tone was very proud, Zhong Cuo patted the child's head stiffly, and then stuffed two pieces of snacks.The little guy took a snack and ran away happily, and Zhong Cuo was relieved.

"Are you here for Xiaofei? Did something happen to him?" Grandma Zhang was concerned about her grandson, and asked hastily as soon as she sat down.

Zhong Cuo hesitated for a moment, and said: "It's not a big deal, it's just someone's calculation. To crack it, you need the birth date. He was unconscious, and he never told outsiders the date, so he had to come here to ask."

He didn't dare to elaborate on the matter, so he had to mention it briefly.Fortunately, the horoscope of birth date is justified in this way. The old man sighed worriedly, muttered "this child" and walked into the back room.When she came out, she had an extra piece of neatly folded yellow paper in her hand.

"This is Xiao Fei's birthday."

Zhong took the yellow paper by mistake, and opened it gently after asking the old man.The yellow paper was old and a little brittle, but fortunately the words on it were clear.

After glancing at it, Zhong Cuo immediately turned on his mobile phone (sponsored by Changsheng) to take a photo of the content, and wrote down a text version by the way.The mobile phone with super strong signal that Changsheng found from nowhere is really extraordinary. In such a place with strong yin, there is still a half-block signal. After several attempts, the message was finally sent successfully. Looking at Changsheng's "received" when he came back , Zhong Cuo let out a long breath.

at last……

Grandma Zhang kept looking at him, and when she saw that he breathed a sigh of relief, she smiled and said, "Have you sent it?"

"Ah."

"That child... I want you to worry about it." The suspicion she had before had disappeared, and the anxiety and worry in the ghost king's eyes were definitely not false.

worry……?

Zhong Cuo smiled wryly - he is not worthy of this sentence...

It was also at this time that he had the leisure to look at Zhang Fei's birthday. The horoscope on the yellow paper was written in a formal way, and the heavenly stems and earthly branches made people dizzy.Fortunately, this is indispensable in the knowledge necessary for the ghost king, and he calculated Zhang Fei's birthday with just a glance.

"In less than two months, it will be his birthday." Grandma Zhang said with emotion.

Zhang Fei's birthday is...

"July [-]th." Zhong Cuo said softly.

July fifteenth.

This is a special day. The seventh month of the lunar calendar is the ghost month. From the first day of the new moon, the gates of ghosts are opened, and the ghosts are full of yin and qi. Until the night of the [-]th and [-]th junction, the gates of ghosts are completely opened, and it is also the place where the boundaries between the yang and the underworld are the most blurred. Days - this is not a good day for Yangjian, but for the underworld, it is a big holiday once a year.

But at this moment, what Zhong Cuo thinks of this day is not about opening the gate of hell to enlarge the holiday at all.

July fifteenth.

He stood on the window sill and looked at the stunned man inside the window with a long-practiced smile: "Hello, my name is Zhong Cuo."

He had no idea that that day was this guy's... birthday.

"You have already given the gift, it's gone."

...The so-called gift, could it be that there will be endless troubles in the future, the enemies that will come one after another, and the soul that is now separated from the body is worse than death?

"What's wrong?" Grandma Zhang's gentle voice sounded, Zhong Cuo shook his head, trying to pretend nothing had happened.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Grandma Zhang was not in a hurry to ask, she just smiled and said, "It's rare to come here, don't you want to know something else?"

She blinked slyly: "For example, when Xiaofei was a child, what and what?"

What, what and what...?

Zhong mistakenly admitted that his curiosity was aroused.

It's just that he wants to know other things more than Zhang Fei's embarrassing things, such as...

"...can I ask a question?"

"Ok?"

"Why..." Zhong Cuo pursed his lips and asked in a low voice, "Why, let him leave here?"

Not just leaving here in general, but making a vow.

Also, the title of that "ghost boy"...

Grandma Zhang showed a complicated expression, she sighed softly, and said, "You... Now that you've met Ah Yang, you should know that Xiaofei still has a nickname..."

"Ghost boy."

"Yes." Grandma Zhang nodded with a wry smile, "A baby born of a ghost."

She looked at the clock wrong, her eyes showed a bit of sadness: "Yuyang...is my youngest daughter. She is a girl, but she is more troublesome than her brother. She likes to follow Jin Fei—my adopted child— —Running around together, huh... At that time, I was afraid that she would fall in love with Feifei. Although the two of them were not blood relatives, they had the same surname after all. I think...it's better to let her like Feifei, and it's better than liking that bastard surnamed Zhang."

When Zhang Baoguo was mentioned, Grandma Zhang's eyes suddenly became sharp.

"In the beginning, I didn't have a bad impression of him. This kid is handsome, smart and capable. The kid from Nuowu's family is also from a good background. He is worthy of my Yuyang family. He even made obeisance to Feifei...my At that time, he was also treated as a child."

These old stories are actually not very suitable for telling, but unfortunately Grandma Zhang is also holding back hard, and can't help complaining when she catches Zhong Mi.

"It's a pity that I didn't approve his horoscope, otherwise I would probably be able to tell that this kid is born to be a ghost town!" Grandma Zhang slapped the coffee table next to her, and the mahogany table made her shake for a while.

After taking a few breaths, Grandma Zhang also felt that she had lost her composure.She shook her head and said with a wry smile to Zhong Cuo: "We... this place is different from other places, you can see it too?"

"Hmm." It's more than just ordinary.

"Actually, the ghost town was not like this at the beginning. According to the old man above me, a big man was buried in the nearby mountain hundreds of years ago. I don't know what method he used to change the surrounding landscape. , all the anger ran towards him, but the dead anger came here. Gradually, it became a ghost town. I don’t know who the first person lived here. Anyway, when this name came into being, the ghost town was already a ghost town. A place where ghosts are like people."

People and ghosts have lived here since a long time ago, and the boundary between life and death is very blurred.In Ghostland, death is not terrible, because it is just "starting again".Everyone knows that they will die one day in the future, and the vitality of the physical body will be cut off, but the soul will continue to live awake, but it will be a little inconvenient at the beginning, because the ghost cannot touch the entity, but the ghost town is full of Yin Qi, condensed The speed of the soul body is far faster than other places, and it doesn't take too long for the ghost to return to normal.

This also affects those who grew up in ghost towns but later left. They live in places with strong yin, and their bodies are naturally different from ordinary people.Even if you leave your hometown, after an accidental death, your soul will subconsciously go back to your hometown and continue your life there. The second life is much longer than the first one. Many elderly people will choose to watch their grandsons and great-grandchildren grow up and be satisfied. Then leave quietly.

Therefore, the life in the ghost town is calm and unruffled, so gentle that it is not like the world.Occasionally, some ghosts and immortals took a fancy to this treasured land of geomantic omen and wanted to snatch it to practice, but they were all driven away by the residents of the ghost town without exception.The only worrying Jifu has never noticed this place, allowing them to live extremely comfortably.

but……

"For so many years, Ghost Township has really been 'dead', only two. Feifei, and Yuyang." Grandma Zhang said.

Jin Fei will not mention it, there are people in the ghost town who know magic, and they can already figure out that this child is not anywhere in the world.They are not as stupid as foxes, they can understand the fact that the child is probably gone, but people in the ghost town should return to their hometown even if they die, but he didn't.

It is rare for a ghost town to encounter a real death. Grandma Zhang was heartbroken, but it was Jin Yuyang's comfort that made her gradually recover.At that time, Zhang Baoguo was not as disliked by Grandma Zhang as he is now. On the contrary, when she knew that Zhang Baoguo vowed to find Jin Fei no matter what, she was a little moved. In the end, it was a pity that Zhang Baoguo answered simply: I don't believe in those yin and yang ghosts and gods, and I want to see people and dead bodies. One day I will look for him one day.

It was also because of this that she finally agreed to their marriage.

After the two got married, Jin Yuyang became pregnant soon.Zhang Baoguo was sent to the border at that time, and it was difficult to come back. She didn't tell him about it, but she just prayed wholeheartedly for the child to be born and grow up. The environment of the ghost town is certainly good, but there are also some small drawbacks: ghosts The country has a lot of yin, and women tend to accumulate yin in their bodies. Although life will be fine after getting used to it, it may hinder the growth of children.She was very surprised that she could conceive so soon, and it was her greatest wish that this child be born and grow up safely.

"There is a mountain between the small valley outside. It is not high. Feifei used to come and go from there. On the top of the mountain, there is an old peach tree. The peach tree is close to the sun, which is suitable for driving away yin energy. For some reason There is a saying: Girls in the ghost town, as long as they can go there every day to pray for three months, they can keep their children safe for the rest of their lives." When she said this, Grandma Zhang had tears in her eyes.

Jin Yuyang was familiar with that hill, so nothing should have happened to her. Although she was pregnant at the time, she was still not sinking, so she went up to the hill to pray every day by herself.result……

Grandma Zhang couldn't go on, she took a few deep breaths, and then said calmly: "... When I found her, it was at the foot of the mountain. It's strange to say that she didn't have any external injuries at that time, and she just fell asleep. It's like..."

Jin Yuyang stumbled and fell down the mountain, Grandma Zhang was terrified.She invited all the ghosts who are good at magic in the ghost town, and begged them to save her children.Everyone is also using their own methods, but no matter what kind of spell it is, it is useless.Seeing Jin Yuyang's breath getting weaker and weaker, Grandma Zhang became more and more sad.In Ghostland, death is nothing but starting again.But the soul body cannot bear children, Jin Yuyang may be able to live again with the soul body, but the child...

But the final result surprised them all. Jin Yuyang lost her breath, but her soul did not leave, but remained in her body.

because……

"The child...is still alive."

The next few months were the most difficult months for Grandma Zhang in her life.She watched Jin Yuyang's body lose weight little by little, until he was almost skinny in the end.But her stomach is getting bigger and bigger.Finally, on the fifteenth day of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, the day when the yin energy in the world was the heaviest, Jin Yuyang gave birth to her child.

When the child's cry pierced the night sky, Grandma Zhang saw with her own eyes that Jin Yuyang's eyelids opened slightly, revealing a ray of light, which then went out in an instant.

She poured all her life into her body, into her child.

Logically speaking, neither Jin Fei's disappearance nor Jin Yuyang's death can be regarded as Zhang Baoguo's fault.It's a pity that Grandma Zhang doesn't think so: she has three children, and has an adopted son, Jin Fei. Among the children, she loves her youngest daughter Jin Yuyang the most, but the one she loves the most is Jin Fei, who is born with extraordinary agility.As a result, after the two children who cared about met Zhang Baoguo, one disappeared and his life and death are still unknown, and the other died of dystocia.No matter how rational Grandma Zhang was, she couldn't help venting her anger. After Jin Yuyang's death, she would not allow Zhang Baoguo to enter the ghost town again, and she even planned to stay and raise Zhang Fei by herself.

When Zhang Fei was mentioned, Grandma Zhang smiled.But soon, the smile turned into a wry smile.

"The child born on July [-]th, everyone said, that child...is different since childhood."

Logically speaking, a child with such a special birthday and birth method should be more talented than other children.Some ghost masters in the village have long taken a fancy to Zhang Fei, and they are full of plans to educate this child well from an early age, and maybe in the future they can raise a ghost who can compete with the king of ghosts.Who would have thought that Zhang Fei was indeed extraordinary, but extraordinary in another place.

He can't see ghosts at all.

Children in ghost towns are born in an environment full of yin. They are almost born with the ability to see ghosts and hear ghosts.But Zhang Fei was just the opposite. The ghosts with condensed soul bodies were better, he could finally see their appearance, and he couldn't see those ghosts at all.

Some people think that Zhang Fei is too young, and when he grows up, it will be better if there is more yin in his body.But Zhang Fei grew up in the ghost town until he was five years old, and he still couldn't see half of the ghosts.The most knowledgeable old ghost in the village frowns for a long time, and can only guess——When Jin Yuyang was pregnant with him, he really wanted his child to live well, and his thoughts drove his body to turn yin into yang, so this child was born with a body of pure yang. If the breath doesn't invade, naturally you can't see ghosts.

"That's why I sent him out of the ghost town." Grandma Zhang said with a wry smile.

"why?"

"In the ghost town, at least half of the people are ghosts. He can't see them, and life will be inconvenient in the future. The most important thing is... We don't want that child to feel that he is different from others."

Not being able to see ghosts outside is even a good thing, but it is extremely troublesome in a ghost town. Growing children are much more sensitive than others. Seeing that Zhang Fei is growing up to understand things, he began to wonder why he could not see certain "uncles and aunts". Grandma finally made up her mind.

She wrote a letter asking Zhang Baoguo to come and take away his child.The condition is also simple, Zhang Fei must swear that he will never enter the ghost town again.

Of course, this is due to the fact that he doesn’t want the ghost town to affect him, and it’s also Grandma Zhang’s own worries—Zhang Fei is too yang, and it’s not a good thing to live in a ghost town. He often fell ill when he was a child.That being the case, why not... just cut it off.

At the very beginning, Zhang Fei’s name was actually Zhang Fei—Jin Fei’s Fei. On the day he left, Grandma Zhang hesitated for a long time and changed the word Fei to Fei.

Since God destined that you are not from this country, then go to the bigger world outside and live happily.

"Then why do you still call him a ghost?"

"In the ghost town, is it a bad thing to call this?" Grandma Zhang said with a smile, "His mother would rather sacrifice herself than let him come to this world well. How many children in the world can afford this?" name?"

"That's right." Zhong Cuo smiled wryly.

Ever since he heard the name "ghost boy", he couldn't help worrying about the former Zhang Fei—only now did he realize that his worries were actually unfounded.

Although his mother died early, and despite his not-so-happy background, he is still a loved guy.

He actually worried about Zhang Fei's shadow because of the past, really... so stupid.

"Everyone in the village who knows him admires him very much. With you, there will be more people who will admire him in the future!" Grandma Zhang is so proud. After all, even if she can cultivate into a first-rank ghost fairy in the future, she will obediently call her an adult when she sees a ghost.Now she can actually make the Ghost King bow his head and call grandma... If it wasn't inconvenient, she would really like to kiss her little grandson and grandson hard.

Zhong Cuo nodded subconsciously, he still had some lumps in his heart, about Jin Yang - if it wasn't for his weird tone, he wouldn't have a series of weird ideas, if it's a good name, then why...

"Ayang?" After listening to Zhong Cuo's doubts, Grandma Zhang suddenly laughed—the smile was a bit narrow and gossip, "He should, should be like that! In the whole ghost town, he should be the most!"

"……why?"

Grandma Zhang smiled for a while before finally becoming serious: "The child grew up with the girl from the third aunt's family, and has fallen in love with her for a long time. It's a pity that the girl from the third aunt made a promise when Xiao Fei was young. To be his daughter-in-law. After Xiao Fei left, there was no time to deal with the marriage. In the end, the girl used this to run on him because she had nothing to do, and this kid was already full of anger!"

"..."

"What?" Grandma Zhang laughed for a long time and stopped, looking at the ghost king who suddenly fell silent.

"……nothing."
