My Taoist companion is a little fox

"Huh—that idiot."

King Zheng heard a familiar voice in the cold, but he was stuck in a dream and couldn't stop, and his cavity was boiling.

"Ghost army, ghost, look at this word, what kind of good thing can be involved with this thing!"

He saw Chang Liu briskly walking ahead and muttering, his spirit could not help but follow closely, trekking through the darkness with the snake demon.

Chang Liu first hid in the night and eavesdropped on the corners of other young masters, and after listening for many nights, he did not get any useful information about the altar and the ghost army from them.The snake demon circled around, gritted its teeth and crossed its legs to draw a formation, leaving its soul and entering the underworld.

King Zheng followed him through the long chaos, three steps away from him, watching his anxiety that he never showed in front of him back then.

Long stayed on the bank of the Wangchuan River, where there was only one lamp in the endless darkness of the underworld, in a solitary boat on the river.The ferryman staggered and pushed the oars, and the lone boat drifted to the shore. The man in white got off the boat with a lamp and stopped in front of Chang Liu.

It was Bai Wuchang who received him.

Changliu was a little apprehensive, but fortunately, the ghost messenger was friendly, and after hearing his intentions, he told him about Zheng Guo's human-ghost contract.

"That place in Zheng Guo is extraordinary." Holding a lamp, Bai Wuchang led him into a patch of grass, and sat in a small pavilion in between.

"Zheng's ancestors were originally the descendants of the ghost kings and mortals of the previous generation in the underworld, and the blood of the yin originated from this. They sacrificed the blood of the ghost king and became ghost generals alone. After that, they were also gods and ghosts, and exercised their inheritance by contract. The power of the ghost king who came down. In the future, when the contract ends, the contracted person will spend his life in the underworld, and the ghost general will return his soul to heaven and earth, transcending the six realms, and he will be as pure as the previous generation of ghost kings."

The wind blows, and the green leaves wither and turn into wind. This piece of grass instantly blooms a gorgeous and enchanting manjusawa, which is boundless and bright red, without a single leaf.

Chang Liu's body also turned bright red, it was his red scales.

"But you don't have to worry, the previous generation of ghost generals set a reverse curse, and the yin blood in the future will not be able to become ghost generals." Bai Wuchang picked a manjusawa and sniffed the fragrance of flowers, "but he can't become ghost generals , does not mean that he cannot sacrifice the blood of the ghost king. However, this is a sacrifice in vain. There are no ghost generals, even if the contract has a owner, it will not be valid. These things have long been dusty, and the current Zheng royal family doesn't know what's going on inside at all, they can only make a fuss from above."

Bai Wuchang sighed: "I know why you came. When you go back, persuade the young master not to do stupid things. After the world is over, don't try to unseal those long-term contracts."

Chang Liu saluted Bai Wuchang solemnly, then walked through Manzhushahua, and hurriedly wanted to return to the human world.But at the end of the flowers, a Heiwuchang holding a lamp blocked his way.

"I also know why you came." He also smiled, his demeanor was completely opposite to the gentle Bai Wuchang, "But little snake, let me tell you the truth, that young master is destined to sacrifice, and it's useless to persuade him. The master is soft-hearted, there is still room for coaxing you, although ghosts and gods cannot lie, but Master Bai only half-spoken."

The bright red manjusawa all withered in an instant, and only the leaves remained on the flower stems again.

Chang Liu stood in the underworld where the flowers and leaves never meet, listening stiffly to Heiwuchang's unhurried words: "The whole story is that every bloodline of the most yin will be sacrificed, whether they are forced or voluntary. , This has become one of the supreme rules for the balance of heaven and earth. The blame of the previous generation of ghost kings is left to future generations to bear, until all the power of the ghost king returns to heaven and earth, and the Yin blood will be cut off. The previous generation of ghost generals was supposed to be the last one, It's a pity that the adult was addicted to the sea of ​​evil and asked for reincarnation, and only then did he have the last heir of the ghost king after 600 years."

"Sacrifice is destined to last forever. Zheng Liu will definitely sacrifice, and no one can stop him. There are only two paths in his life and death book, or death and reincarnation, and he will be an ordinary person in the next life, or—— Born to be a king, the next life will be the same For ordinary people."

The last sentence made Changliu go from hopeless to rekindled hope. He was just about to ask how those two roads got out, but Heiwuchang had passed by him, and he was photographed back to the mortal world when the lights were turned off.

"The blood of Zhiyin can no longer become a ghost general, but it can turn against the slave master and become the contract master." Hei Wuchang's last voice echoed in his mind, "If Zheng Liu died, it is because there is no general in the sacrifice. If Zheng Liu lives, then Because an outsider jumped and became a ghost general in the contract."

"The same is true for your life and death book. Either live or die."

Chang Liu's soul returned to his body, sitting in the dark for a long time in a daze, but King Zheng suddenly had an ominous crazy thought.

He was deeply trapped in a dream, and tremblingly comforted himself that what he saw was just a dream, but what he saw later was exactly the same as his memory, and in the end, he was just deceiving himself and others after all.

Not a dream.

"I'll take you away."

"Come with me!"

"If you are still alive next spring, I will come back and settle accounts with you."

The snake demon turned away from his sight, and their long roads of one person and one demon seemed to be separated but intersected again.They are all in the world, and they live and die, so close to each other.

He offered sacrifices in the world, watched his own blood dripping on the altar, and melted the contract of loyalty to me until the end of this life.

The snake demon enters the underworld, and the memory and ego dissipate inch by inch, and the soul is bit by bit included in the contract between humans and ghosts who live together and do not share an afterlife.

Four days later, the contract was concluded.

He stood in the middle of the altar and almost collapsed. The moment he fell back, it was the ghost general who had trekked to support him.Wan Gui obeyed the order and drove him, but the red scale he put on his chest lost its temperature.

The last drop of blood fell on the brow of the puppet, and the ghost took over the unrecognizable body, and became his ghost general and his national teacher ever since.

The bright red petals and emerald green leaves are knotted on the same flower stem, never to meet each other, but to grow together forever.

In the cold winter of 11 years, he waited day after day for the coming spring, and behind him were inquiries and apologies year after year.

"Is the king cold?"

"Of course, it's cold."

"My lord, I'm sorry."

"Why did the national teacher apologize?"

"If I were human, I could give the king a warm embrace. But I am a ghost."

"Ghosts are cold and have no temperature."
