Murals, naturally, are paintings painted on the walls.

And this mural, which is wandering on the wall, is getting closer and closer to us.

I looked at the mural, and the person in the mural was Zhong Kui with a blue face and fangs.

And Hui Ling has been a ghost for a long time, and his fear of Zhong Kui has been engraved in his mind.

I could feel that she was tempted to run away now.

Of course, if her legs were still at the mercy of her.

At this time, Zhong Kui had already floated in front of us. He beckoned to the two of us.

Hui Ling's body involuntarily walked forward, and also pulled us forward.

Then, the two of us entered the world in the mural.

When I entered that world, my mind was a bit of a trance.

It feels ...... It's so familiar.

I once saw such a painted world in Dustless Mountain.

Could it be that there is still a relationship between this place and the Dustless Mountain?

After entering the world of painting, I saw that we were in a large hall, and Zhong Kui was standing in front of us.

He was very tall, two or three times the size of an adult.

He looked at us condescendingly.

Such a height is daunting.

This fear is innate, the fear of giants.

Suddenly, Zhong Kui spoke.

He didn't make a sound, but I seemed to hear him talking.

He said, "You two, not from here. ”

I was shocked: Zhong Kui has good eyesight, he can recognize that we are wrong at a glance? It seems that our plan to do so has been a complete failure.

I looked at Hui Ling, and Hui Ling's voice trembled: "We are just passing, let's go immediately." ”

Zhong Kui cooled down. Then, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he grabbed Hui Ling.

Hui Ling wanted to struggle, but she didn't break free.

She soon realized that struggling was useless. It's better to give up resistance and be docile.

Zhong Kui's voice came into my head again: "The two of you, one is a soul that has been dead for a long time, and the other is a cultivator who has gone against the sky, you are both very damned. ”

I glanced at Hui Ling in amazement: Why, isn't Hui Ling a cultivator?

Perhaps, Hui Ling didn't know how to practice at all before he got the Golden Kui Sutra? She's been surviving in the cracks with her own mind? So, she was just an ordinary ghost before?

I don't know why I have so many things in my head in this situation.

Zhong Kui glanced at me and said lightly, "Do you know who I am?" ”

I said, "You are Zhong Kui." ”

Zhong Kui sneered: "That's just a misinformation from the world." ”

"People are born, old, sick and die, and their souls are dissipated and reincarnated. This is the way of heaven. But there are people who want to go against the sky. ”

"As for me, I am the guardian of the Heavenly Dao. Kill the evil ghosts first, and then kill the cultivators who use the evil path to prolong their lives. Return the world to a clear mind. ”

Zhong Kui's righteousness is awe-inspiring, but I heard a different kind of thought from this: he does not allow mortals to survive, but only allows us to live, grow old, sick and die according to fate.

I was also keenly aware of the hostility between him and the practitioners.

I said cautiously, "Then do you recognize Dustless Mountain?" ”

Zhong Kui suddenly roared, and under the excitement, the force in his hand suddenly increased, and Hui Ling was pinched by him and almost vomited blood.

"Lin Feng, can you speak tactfully?" Hui Ling coughed and said with difficulty.

I hurriedly said to Zhong Kui: "We are all enemies of Dustless Mountain, don't get excited. ”

Zhong Kui looked at me and suddenly sneered.

Of course I know what this sneer means.

He thinks that even if I and Wuchen Mountain are hostile, it is a dog-eat-dog relationship.

Still in Zhong Kui, he has no intention of killing us now, at least not immediately.

I cautiously asked questions while observing the words, hoping to find a way to survive from them.

So I whispered to Zhong Kui: "Since your old man is an existence that maintains the Heavenly Dao, but ...... Ahem, to put it mildly, your old man's reputation doesn't seem to be too big. ”

"Except for some legends about you among ordinary people and laymen, there doesn't seem to be much news about you among cultivators."

"No, it's not true, it's been reported that you show up every ten years or so to catch those disobedient ghosts."

"But the key is...... According to your old man's temper, there is no need for this. Wouldn't it be better if anyone is disobedient and swallow it in one bite? ”

Zhong Kui was silent for a while, and said lightly: "Many years ago, those cultivators hated me. They banded together and killed me. ”

"I'm dead, but my soul is still strong, and they can't kill me. Even if I had to be killed, my desperate counterattack would kill most of them. ”

"Therefore, these people divided my soul into innumerable parts and hid it in a brocade box. Separate places. ”

Zhong Kui looked at me and said faintly: "In every brocade box, there is a part of my soul. This part of the soul is still very dangerous for practitioners. ”

"They were afraid of me and wanted to get my power, so after the first generation of practitioners died. The rest of the cultivators began to search for the whereabouts of these brocade boxes, and they were playing with their lives. ”

It dawned on me: "So, in the village near No. 5 Middle School, there was a villager who got your brocade box, and later the brocade box was dug up by the students?" ”

Zhong Kui snorted: "After the villager got the brocade box, he was very smart, he knew that he couldn't afford to provoke it, so he never opened it." He spent his whole life practicing hard, hoping to cultivate enough to be able to open the brocade box safely. ”

"In order to practice, he absorbed the yang longevity and luck of all the people in his kinship."

"He lived for a long time, and in return all his relatives died."

I nodded, "No wonder, no wonder." I said how could a prosperous family suddenly become extinct? ”

"It stands to reason that such a family will never go out of business if they don't worry about food and clothing. They will spread out, and the number of people in the family will only increase. ”

"And what about later? What happened to this practitioner? ”

Zhong Kui said lightly: "This cultivator still failed in the end, and he fell short, and he didn't be able to open the brocade box until he died. He's lucky. Otherwise, I would have killed him long ago. ”

"What reason does this kind of cultivator who absorbs the luck of his relatives have to survive in the human world?"

I nodded approvingly.

Hui Ling coughed dryly next to him, patted his ass and said, "Congratulations on seeing the light of day again." Now that you've been dug up by the students of No. 5 Middle School, can you wander the world again? ”

"Your other souls, while catching those lawless ghosts, while looking for the fragments of your own souls, you should hurry up and join them."

"Maybe in a few years, adults will be able to crisscross the world again. As soon as I thought that I could continue to admire the demeanor of adults, I couldn't help but feel hot all over my body, and I longed to fall to the ground in defeat......"

I looked at Hui Ling, who had a flattering face, and almost threw up.

How can a person be so brazen?

Unexpectedly, the puppet actually accepted this kind of flattery very calmly.

He smiled and said, "I was asking for your help in retrieving my soul fragments. ”

Hui Ling nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, we will try to help." If you don't achieve your goal, you won't give up. ”

Zhong Kui said lightly: "Before you find the fragment, you will help me do one thing." ”

"When the students dug me out of my ancestral grave, one of them was not an ordinary person. The man had been hiding in the back, in an unnoticed corner. ”

"But when I was taken out of the box, this man was quick and had my heart gouged out. As a result, I was never able to leave No. 5 Middle School. ”

"Recently, I have felt that he has been quietly refining my heart. Once my heart is refined by him. It is possible for him to gain my power, and at that time, the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

I glanced at Hui Ling, and Hui Ling also looked at me.

I said faintly, "This student, could it be the Dustless Ancestor, right?" ”

Zhong Kui did not speak.

It seemed that he had known that this person was a dustless ancestor.

It's just that he felt ashamed, so he never said it.

My heart suddenly moved: If we can win over Zhong Kui to become our person, then ...... It's definitely a big help.
