Seeing that I smiled, the little girl froze for a moment, no longer obsessed with wielding the spatula.

I carefully pulled back my nails, for fear of hurting the little girl's delicate skin.

"Why, no, put it away?" the autistic ghost said in a daze beside him.

Can this nail be put away?All right, I lowered my head and stared at the long black armor, watching them retract little by little as I wished.

Since nails can, can the appearance also be adjusted?According to the Big Head Ghost and Fatty Chen, when "Ning Yuan" became a human, ordinary monks couldn't tell the truth.

I closed my eyes, slowly curbed my ghostly aura, and opened my eyes after burning a stick of incense.

The little girl's cat-like eyes widened, she saw me looking over, she hugged the spatula tightly again, and retracted into the water tank. The autistic ghost next to her was not so sensitive and lively, and whispered: "Okay, it looks good."

...Thanks, I'm a man, this is called handsome!

I raised my hands and looked at the skin that was exactly like a living person. It was warm and smooth. I could vaguely see the blood vessels under the wrists. Even the sound of the heartbeat could be simulated.

It is worthy of the realm of "condensing resentment".

"Okay, let's get down to business now. I don't want to scare you. I really don't eat people, and I will never eat people." I floated down a little bit, and I was at eye level with the little girl, lying on the side of the water tank, and asked in a gentle voice, " What's your name? Do you have any family, I'll take you out of town."

Smelling it closer, the little girl smells even better, ah, I'm hungry again and want to eat hot pot.

The little girl shrank back in disbelief, but probably because I was too much like a living person now, she still answered my question with a soft voice like a kitten: "Erya, there is no more, they are all dead."

The smile faded from my face, her family members are all in Donghuan City, and there are no other living people in this city for a long time.

But she has to return to the human world, ghosts are too dangerous for her.

"Where is the nearest living city?" I turned my head and asked the autistic ghost.

"No, I don't know."

...Brother, can you use it a little bit?

"I'll ask other ghosts, take care of Erya." I sighed helplessly, turned around and floated out, and returned to the vicinity of the mass grave. There was no other way, as there were the most ghosts gathered here.

"My lord is going to the city of the living?" Fatty Chen was taken aback, "Your lord is resentful, you can indeed pretend to be yourself, ordinary monks can't tell the difference, but if you happen to meet a bald donkey from the Mercy Temple or a bull-nosed man from Qingyun Palace ..."

I stared at him in silence.

Fatty Chen choked, and pointed to the south: "To the north is the former prosperous country, but now it is full of ghosts and monsters. When you reach the grassland, you will find the northern barbarians. To the west is the Hundred Thousand Mountains, and to the east is the capital of Qi, where the ghost king marches. The only way to go is to the south, Chu is the country with the most living people, and the Palace of Compassion is there."

I nodded. Just as I was about to leave, I remembered something and asked casually, "There are no living animals in the city?"

"Master Ghost King's resentment is too heavy, and ordinary living things can't bear it, but I heard that there is a mountain forest outside the city, where the terrain is steep, and few living people live there, and the ghost army is too lazy to go. Maybe there are living animals in the deep mountains .”

Without donkeys, horses and cows, it would be a bit troublesome to take Erya away, not to mention that I wanted to pack the food in the city.

When I was worrying, suddenly, there was a commotion from the east, and mottled and messy ghosts rose up, gathering towards the market.

"Huh, what's there? Ah, it smells so good." Fatty Chen's eyes turned red.

The east, the market, the fragrance... Gan!

I casually lifted Fatty Chen, threw him into the mass grave, and pinned him with a ghostly aura. Then, I quickly swept through the air and rushed towards the market. The translucent body has no air resistance, and the speed is so fast that the surrounding scenery is distorted out of shape.

The ancients said that they are as fast as ghosts, and ghosts fly really fast.

When I arrived at the entrance of the inn, the autistic ghost was protecting Erya in his arms, huddled in front of a dirt wall, surrounded by dozens of ghosts.This group of grotesque ghosts had greedy faces, red eyes, and long, sharp nails that scratched deeply into the backs of the autistic ghosts.

The autistic ghost didn't make a sound from the beginning to the end, but he was afraid to close his eyes and refused to let go.

Approaching this place, the scent that was extremely alluring to Li Gui became stronger, and I quickly discovered the source of the smell——Arya was injured, and blood dripped on the ground.

Compared with this aroma, my roasted pork ribs in honey sauce is nothing, no wonder these ghosts are crazy.

But since I'm here, don't even think about touching the people and ghosts below this group of bastards who can't even melt gas!

The deep blue and black resentment stained the skin again, and quickly condensed into a solid body. As the hands pressed down, it hit the ghosts like a dark cloud, with an undisguised killing intent.

Demons, goblins, sprites, cannibals, covets children, should be killed!

Resentment filled the air, and under the condensed resentment, no ghost survived, and the soul flew away.

For ghost cultivators, crossing a realm is a big difference, not to mention that there are at least two steps between me and them.

I tried my best to suppress the sudden outburst of angry murderous aura, closed my eyes and asked, "What happened just now?"

"There are ghosts, I see, Erya is fighting, Erya is bleeding, they are all here." The autistic ghost stumbled.

I was very happy: "Didn't you ask you to take care of Erya? Didn't you watch it well in the past three days, and now I have only been away for a long time, and I was discovered by a ghost, right?"

"I, no, no, on purpose, he suddenly opened the window and floated in." The autistic ghost was aggrieved, but he didn't know how to refute, the more he talked, the more chaotic he was, and in the end he only looked at me with those peach blossom eyes.Erya hugged his leg, poked out a small head, and stared straight at me with cat-like black eyes.

Oh, you two are in a gang, protesting silently to me, right?

Forget it, it's also my own fault, knowing that the autistic ghost's brain is not working well, and he is somewhat demented, and let him take care of Erya alone.only……

"Is there anything special about Erya's blood?"

I muttered to myself, I didn't expect one person and one ghost to be able to answer, but unexpectedly the autistic ghost replied: "Argh, the body of extreme yin."

What is the body of extreme yin?

When I read online novels before, I heard this kind of setting. It refers to people who were born in the cloudy moon and the sun and the sun is cloudy, and they are women. It is said that such people are extremely easy to attract evil spirits, and flesh and blood are a great tonic for ghosts.

I looked at Erya, in the age when humans and ghosts are fighting, if ordinary people give birth to a body of extreme yin, it is absolutely impossible for them to know nothing.

Sure enough, Erya hesitated for a moment, then whispered: "Mother secretly gave birth to me and changed the time, but grandma still said that my birthday was unlucky and she wanted to hand me over to the Taoist priest to burn me to death. Later, mother let me go. I came to the city to look for my uncle, who is a cook, and I will help in the back kitchen."

"Then how do you say that everyone in the family is dead?" If Erya's family is in the countryside, maybe the family may still be alive.

It's okay to burn her grandma to death, but Er Ya Niang may still be waiting for her.

Erya shook her head, tears filled her cat-like eyes: "The Taoist priest said, it is a serious crime for my mother to let me go without permission, and it will attract evil spirits. To appease the anger of the sky, she burned my mother to death. In a few days, all the people in our village disappeared, and the village is on the way of the ghost army."

There are so many pitfalls that I don't know where to start.

The Nine Nether Ghost King is like a locust, walking all the way and killing all the way, Erya Village is just on the marching route, it is normal to be slaughtered by the ghost army, but what is the Taoist priest in this story?

I don't sound much better than Li Gui.

"Nubi from Qingyun Palace?" My tone sank a bit.

Erya and the autistic ghost shook their heads, and the latter added: "Qingyun Palace, there are too few of them. Folks and Taoists have always been very popular."

I understand that in the face of ghosts and natural disasters, some people can wake up and unite to resist the Nine Nether Ghost King, but some people will be even crazier.

Money-gathering scammers fishing in troubled waters, hysterical superstitious villagers... Maybe the body of extreme yin is indeed special, but this time the village and Donghuan City were slaughtered, purely because of the marching route set by the ghost king himself, whether there is Erya or not.

"What's so special about the body of extreme yin?" I looked at the autistic ghost again, hoping that this buddy who was ineffective at times would give me some help.

The autistic ghost blinked his peachy eyes twice, and said softly: "It's delicious."

I:……

Two:  …

"The extremely yin body, unable to practice, and after death, will definitely become a strange ghost, more than condensing resentment," the autistic ghost thought for a while, and added, "Indeed, it will also attract ghosts."

Trouble, if this is the case, Er Ya can’t be handed over to ordinary people, otherwise it will attract ghosts and harm the family; if you hand it over to people who practice Taoism, even if they are not liars, but Taoist monks with integrity, the other party will strictly control them. To prevent her from turning into a powerful ghost cultivator after death; and staying in the ghost beast, those ghosts would like to devour her to death.

The way of heaven did not leave any way for Erya to survive.

Looking at the five-year-old girl who looked like a kitten in front of me, I felt a headache even if I didn't have a body. Looking at the autistic dementia ghost who was also unable to take care of himself, the corners of my mouth couldn't help twitching.

If they were allowed to stay in East Ring City, it would definitely lead to tragedy.

"If...you can follow me if you want," I suppressed my ghostly energy again, and became a living person, sighing, "I want to find a place where there are no people and no ghosts to live in seclusion. No problem."

At most, we can change from eating for one person to eating for the whole family. We can go hunting, catching fish, and picking wild vegetables in the woods. At worst, we can turn into a living person and secretly go to the village to buy vegetables. Presumably, ordinary villages don’t have the Taoist priest of Qingyun Palace every day. .

But the premise is that the other party is willing. After all, not everyone or ghosts are worthless like me.

"No one?" Erya's cat eyes lit up.

"No ghost?" The autistic ghost smiled.

...Are the two of you focusing on the opposite?

"Yes, but let me tell you first, I am the head of the family!" I thought for a while, and thought it would be nice to live in seclusion with someone to accompany me, at least not alone.

One person and one ghost nodded desperately, they were very well-behaved, I always felt that there was actually a cat and a dog in front of me.

Now that I have decided to live together, I can't call them "autistic ghosts" and "Erya" all day long. It's better to give them a name.

"My name is Sanin, what is your surname?"

The autistic ghost and Erya have no objection. The former doesn't know who he is, and the latter was almost strangled to death by his grandmother when he was born. He has no name and doesn't want to think of his former family.

I don't know why, looking at the pair of peach blossom eyes in front of me, looking at the desolate and lifeless city, I thought of "Taoyao".

March is full of peach blossoms, full of vitality and brilliant spring, representing the most sincere and passionate love in the world, which is magnanimous and pure.

"Tao Zhiyaoyao, scorching its flowers, Sa Zhuohua." I looked at the handsome young master's face of the autistic ghost.

May you no longer be afraid and dull, may you no longer forget and be closed, and may you always be bright and dazzling.

"Tao Zhiyao, Ye Zhenzhen, Erya, what do you think of Sa Zhenzhen?" I looked at the little cat's eye girl again, and explained, "Zhenzhen means dense branches and leaves."

May you grow up healthy, strong and independent, and grow into a towering tree that does not depend on anyone, and will always flourish.

The autistic ghost naturally nodded obediently, without any doubts, and the little girl said the new name twice, then suddenly raised her face, opened her cat-like black eyes, and asked seriously: "Sa Zhenzhen, I have a name. Our surname is Sa, we are a family from now on, and we will never be separated again, right?"

I understand what she's asking, she's asking, does she have a home now?Are we going to leave her behind?

To be honest, I don't want to take any emotional responsibility during the long time travels.It's not that I don't want to give, it's just that I can't help myself, I can't support it, and I can't take responsibility.

But no matter how you escape, you can't escape after all.

Just like I still can't forget the magic teacher, I can't forget the cool and considerate Yu Daozi, I can't forget my parents when I was Zelan, I can't forget the little prince Lucas who died in front of me, and I can't forget my wife and daughter while eating instant noodles Police officer Wang, from weak to strong Xu Chuchu...

They have carved such a deep imprint on my soul that even if I return to my hometown one day, I will never forget it.

They are the only light in the darkness. Even if I can't avoid them, they always catch up and remind me not to forget that I am still a human being, who has emotions, sorrows and joys, and has the right to live.

If you can't escape, you can only accept it and face your own destiny.

I smiled, stretched out my hand to Zhen Zhen, and said softly: "Yes, from now on, we are a family."
