The rain is pattering, the soil is wet and sticky under the feet, and the smell of green grass seeps out from it.In the ravine, there is no one on the road, and occasionally a few dirt dogs with drooping ears can be seen.Fortunately, there was no one, otherwise I would have been scared to death.Xie Cenguan looked at the reflection in the puddle, he was covered in blood, his right forearm was flicking and flicking.

Huangquan Ghost Country is really not a place for people to go to, he thought, wondering if that idiot Baili Jueming escaped.

He reached the mountainside and laboriously drew a spell.Ripples appeared in the air in front of him, and he stepped over the invisible air wall, revealing a small village in front of him.He couldn't move anymore, so he lay down on the ground and wailed, "Here comes the bullock cart! Your boss is back!"

Someone saw him and immediately went back to the village to tell the villagers. After a while, a group of mud-legged men pushed an ox cart with straw on it, and several people carefully carried him onto the cart.

"Quick, quick! Send it to Doctor Ying!"

"Oh, my boss Xie, why did you do this again?"

Someone clicked his tongue: "I think you have to change your body this time."

The ox cart drove toward the village, the dirt road was muddy, and Xie Cen's bones ached from the bumps.The thatched houses on both sides kept retreating, and there were dolls with pale faces chasing and playing on the muddy road. There were noises outside the house, and the windows were pushed open, revealing ghosts with long hair or white faces inside. She grinned at him.

"Thank you boss for coming back! It's too bright, I'm not good enough, so I won't come out to welcome you!"

"It's okay," Xie Cenguan covered his eyes with his intact left hand, "just remember to pay the rent."

This is Lishui Village, the first village in the world where people and ghosts coexist. Ghosts and their families live under the same roof and even sleep on the same bed.The inspiration for establishing this village came from the ghost kingdom of Huangquan. Baili Jueming did not understand the murals in the ghost kingdom of Huangquan. There were not only people but also ghosts in the paintings of the villagers, but the Marsang people did not distinguish between them.

Not all ghosts in this world are full of resentment and viciousness. In Xie Cenguan's experience, most of the obsessions of ghosts come from the fetters of relatives and loved ones.The people of Xianmen refer to this thing born of fetters as obsession, as if it is an extremely vain and meaningless thing.Xie Cenguan prefers to call it "wish". When the ghost fulfills the wish, it will dissipate by itself.He gave these ghosts a place to stay and helped them escape from the pursuit of the fairy gate.

The bullock cart stopped, and the villagers carried him into Doctor Ying's courtyard with the door panels.Doctor Ying does not treat people, but only treats corpses.The four walls are all gloomy wooden treasure cabinets. When the drawers are opened, there are eyes, ears, and noses soaked in glass bottles, and the hands and feet are placed in the larger cabinets.Sometimes the neighbors came to help him clean the house, pouring hairy human heads out of vases.

Xie Cenguan sat up, moved to the bamboo mat, and put his right hand on the small case.

A middle-aged man shook out the sackcloth, and inside were various blades, large and small, and small iron nails.He stared at Xie Cenguan's arm, sighed, and said, "Why don't you just change your body? A batch of goods has been brought in recently, and I want you to choose."

"No." Xie Cenguan was not happy, "I finally found such a good-looking one, so I won't change it. It's better to seal me than to make me ugly."

"It's dead, so why care about appearance?" Doctor Ying gave him a sidelong glance, took out a blade as thin as a cicada's wing, cut open his forearm, and picked out the broken bones bit by bit.

"I reached the third old village and couldn't go any further. The ghost mother's clone of joy is too powerful for me to deal with. There are too many ghosts, all of which are in her body, and the noise of crying makes my forehead hurt." Xie Xie Cen Guan rubbed his brows, "Also, I met Baili Jueming in the ghost country. We guessed right, that Qin Qiuming who possessed the innate fire technique is him. Escaped from the Eighteen Prison Seals. All in all, he is now free."

Baili Jueming's name is as loud as thunder, and all the ghosts with a little sense of Taoism know that eight years ago, the Xianmen encircled and suppressed Baochen Mountain and sealed him into the Eighteenth Prison.At that time, everyone suddenly realized that the younger brother of the great master Wudu was actually an evil spirit. He pretended to be a living person to show off his power and deceived the immortal sect for 50 years.

Qin Qiuming hadn't entered their field of vision before, until the story of him abducting Xie Xunwei spread all over the city.Xie Cenguan personally went to Gusu to confirm the identity of this person, but the distance was too far, and he could not be sure until he had a close contact with Huangquan Guiguo.

Doctor Ying pondered, "He is the strongest ghost in the world, we should absorb him and let him become one of us. With his fire method, we will not be so passive in the confrontation with the fairy gate."

Xie Cenguan shook his head and said with a smile, "You don't know him. Baili Jueming looks like a villain, but he is actually the most upright. He will definitely not be with us."

Yingbushi took out a piece of white bone from the cupboard, compared it to Bixie Cenguan's arm, pushed aside his flesh and put it in.

"My skills are limited," he said. "My ghost domain 'Mingjingtai' has no other purpose except to cover up our village. This place needs your protection. You must find a helper for yourself, or don't. Go deeper into a dangerous place like the ghost country." He said earnestly, "Old Xie, if you go too far, you won't be able to come back."

"I got it, I got it," Xie Cenguan said with a playful smile, "Don't I get it back every time?"

This guy looks like he is smiling and easy to talk, but he is actually the most stubborn.Yingbushi couldn't persuade him, so he sewed up his flesh with a needle and thread, and changed the subject by the way, "When Baili Cassia was sealed earlier, it happened that you were dragged back to the ghost country by the ghost mother, and you were trapped in it for three years. Just let your doll stay in Yu's house. Now that you have free time, why don't you take him back? Didn't I say that your own doll has to be raised by yourself, so you should at least let him call you daddy. "

Xie Cenguan leaned back in his chair, leaned his neck back and let out a long sigh.

"Old Ying, have you heard the story about the snobby mother beating the mandarin ducks with a stick?"

Should not know why he suddenly said this, shook his head and said no.

"The story is very cliché. It's about a long time ago, a beautiful girl fell in love with a poor boy from the same village. They fell in love with each other and promised each other for life. But the girl's mother didn't agree with the marriage. She promised her daughter For the 73-year-old old Fujun in the town. She locked up the girl and was about to carry her into the high-ranking family for a sequel.

The girl cried and asked her mother why she was so cruel?The mother said to her, daughter, when you go to that poor boy’s house, chop firewood and wash clothes in the morning, cook and make the bed at night, your white and tender hands will become rough, and your smooth face will become old.You went to Lao Fujun's house, washed your feet with a silver washbasin, washed your face with a gold washbasin, drank soup made of water shield from Qianli Lake, and ate preserved fish made of Wuchang bream.

The girl didn't understand, she was still crying.The mansion is old, maybe if she enters the house today, she will be a widow tomorrow.The mother said daughter, daughter, don't cry.When he dies, his mansion is yours, his fields are yours, his servants are yours.Everything about him is yours. "

Yingbushi listened silently, and suddenly understood the man in front of him.

"Old Ying, you and I both know that Baili Jueming is the strongest ghost in the world. His senior brother is a grand master who has lived for 500 years. He is the last elder of Baochen Mountain and the only inheritor of the innate fire method. I am That snobbish mother, I will marry my child to the old Fujun who has a big family. Baili Jueming will protect Xunwei, so that he will not be afraid of the prying eyes of evil spirits and the bullying of fairy gates. If one day Baili Jueming If Mingzhen dies, then the inheritance of Baochen Mountain is from Xunwei, and the best fire technique is from Xunwei." Xie Cenguan's voice is flat, but his words are clear, "Everything he has is from Xunwei. "

At this time, footsteps sounded outside the window drawer, and his little ghost shouted softly outside: "Boss, there are ghosts looking for you down the mountain."

Ying didn't know how to push open the window lattice, the little ghost was short, he stood on tiptoe holding the window drawer, revealing a pale face.

Xie Cenguan rested his chin in consideration, "I haven't caused any trouble recently, so I shouldn't be an enemy?"

"It's the three ghost brothers, who were recommended by the boss of Gusu, and they brought a lot of goods." The little ghost said with a finger, "You said you want to talk about a big business, let them come up?"
