Chapter 147: Zhong Kui's decision
Ou Xiaolu looked back and found that Zhong Kui, who had not been seen for a long time, was actually standing beside the martial fighting ghost, and it could be seen that just now, the martial fighting ghost had already informed Zhong Kui of everything here.
I haven't seen it these days, Zhong Kui has also changed, the skin on his body has become more loose, and it seems that he can be pulled off casually, but he doesn't care about all this, but stretches out his hand and spins in the air.
After a while, Ou Xiaolu saw a large amount of paper ashes appear in his hands, and as soon as Zhong Kui grabbed these paper ashes, a gold ingot appeared.
But Zhong Kui shook his head, and with a slight pinch, this gold ingot turned into pieces.
"Sure enough, it's too far away, and it's affected by other gods, so these things can't be sent out at all."
Ou Xiaolu looked at Zhong Kui with some confusion and asked, "What are these?" ”
"The sustenance of some uprooted people, but they never thought that they were so far away from home, that even the last bit of sustenance could not be sent back." Zhong Kui let out a long sigh, then looked at Ou Xiaolu, "Give me this place, I can find a way to open up a road to the Huangquan Ghost Country and send these back." ”
"Is that okay? It's too far away from China, half the world. Ou Xiaolu asked with some concern.
"The path between the underworld and the yang world is different, and recently I feel that my strength is improving, and I don't know if it was the potion you gave me that improved me, or if there was something else, so I wanted to try, maybe this is my way to get rid of Zhong Kui's name and become a ghost king."
Hearing Zhong Kui say this, Ou Xiaolu also became serious, "You decided?" You must know that this road is not so simple, maybe you can find the way to the ghost country of Huangquan very smoothly, maybe you will be stopped by someone on the way. ”
"I've thought about it clearly, I've already decided, but I'm a little embarrassed, I promised to help you for two years before, and now it seems that this time is going to be delayed."
"It's okay, Zhong Kui helped me for two years and a ghost king helped me for two years, I still understand the difference."
Zhong Kui nodded, thanked Ou Xiaolu, and then said with some embarrassment, "I may set up a magic circle to attract the souls of the hometown people in Xinxiang to live here, and your house may become a haunted house." ”
Ou Xiaolu laughed when he heard this, "That's interesting, I've been careful that no one lives in this house, but it's good to have ghosts to live in." ”
Seeing that Ou Xiaolu was so generous, Zhong Kui's face that was about to fall also showed a hint of a smile, "Then I'll start now, do you want to come and take a look." ”
"Of course." Before Ou Xiaolu could answer, Emilia on the side shouted, "This uncle, when you open the passage to the underworld, can you turn around the underworld along the way, I want to meet the Lord Hela that my mother said." ”
"This is a bit difficult, but you also have the origin of welcoming life and death, you can try it yourself."
Ou Xiaolu was also a little stunned when he heard it, as if in Norse mythology, the Valkyrie really had the ability to lead the dead into the underworld.
Walking out of this illusory chapel, Ou Xiaolu and the others saw the infinite desolation as far as the eye could see.
"How about it, is it different from what I imagined, this is the underworld, there are no flowers on the other side, some are just barren, without any life."
"I can't imagine it." Ou Xiaolu couldn't help but sigh, "But why do I feel that this space is quite stable? Is it your power? ”
"It's not. I haven't started yet, but I'm also a little strange, it's been so many years, and it's the first time I've seen such a solid fragment of the underworld in Xinxiang, maybe the world is going to change a lot again. ”
As soon as Ou Xiaolu heard it, he thought of what the novice guide said about the revival of aura after two years, and he hesitated to tell Zhong Kui about it.
But at this time, Zhong Kui had already stood out, he stood in the wilderness, his hands held high, and countless black paper ashes poured towards him, completely enveloping him.
"What is he going to do here?" Emilia asked quietly.
"I don't know, but depending on the situation, it should be gathering strength and opening the passage."
At this time, Zhong Kui said loudly: "I, Liu, am willing to give up Zhong Kui's identity and become the ghost king of Xinxiang, so as to protect the spirits of the same clan and the same origin, and escort the souls of the dead back to their hometowns." ”
After saying all this, Zhong Kui grabbed the skin on his body and tore it up regardless of it.
This move frightened Ou Xiaolu and them, you must know that the skin on Zhong Kui's body is the foundation of his survival, he has devoured so many ghosts over the years, all relying on Zhong Kui's identity to suppress it, if there is no Zhong Kui's identity, then he will face the backlash of those evil ghosts.
Thinking of this, Ou Xiaolu involuntarily pressed his hand on the sword, and looking at Ou Xiaolu like this, Emilia also took out her own weapon.
At this time, there was a burst of thunder in the sky, and Ou Xiaolu couldn't help but look up, and wanted to ask why there was thunder in the underworld.
At this moment, Zhong Kui had completely torn off the skin on his body, revealing the yellowed bones inside and countless souls attached to Zhong Kui's body.
These evil spirits are not big, but their faces are distorted, and they don't look like good things, attacking each other in Zhong Kui's body, but every time an evil spirit is devoured, a new evil spirit will appear immediately, and it can be seen that Zhong Kui's body is like a hell, and everything is repeated before the punishment is completed.
Before, Zhong Kui trapped these evil spirits in his body, suppressed by Zhong Kui's skin, and there was nothing wrong with this, but now that there is no Zhong Kui's skin, those evil spirits didn't react at first, and then they began to rush out, wanting to break through the shackles of Zhong Kui's bones.
At this moment, Zhong Kui shouted loudly: "Give me all back, I am the ghost king Liu, you all go back for me." ”
Ou Xiaolu could hear the confidence in Zhong Kui's voice, and at the same time, he saw countless black paper ashes surging towards Zhong Kui's bones.
Under the suppression of those paper ashes, those evil spirits turned into ghost fires as if they had been ignited, and began to ignite Zhong Kui's body, as if they wanted to burn Zhong Kui to death together.
Ou Xiaolu looked at this situation and wanted to go up and help, but he also understood that this was Zhong Kui's farewell to the past, and it was his only way, if he couldn't pass this level, there would be nothing, only after this pass, Zhong Kui could no longer be called Zhong Kui, but as he said, become a ghost king.
