123 Misfortune does not go alone
I also sat on the ground, and the cat master walked out of the grass, just now I only cared about dueling with Zhao Hua, and I didn't care where the cat ran to at all.
Zhao Hua still fell to the ground and kept convulsing.
I endured the severe pain all over my body, and limped close to Shen Chong, his injuries should not be much easier than mine, but he was all traumatic.
Now Shen Chong was resting with his back against a big rock, I sat next to him, took out a cigarette from my arms and lit it for him, this time if he hadn't sacrificed his life to save me, I was afraid I wouldn't have survived anyway.
"Brother Chong...... Thank you. I also ordered one myself, and Shen Chong grinned: "You're welcome, I just hope that if I encounter difficulties in the future, you can also help me." βγ
"Absolutely! I am by no means ungrateful. I replied without thinking about it, and I was even thinking about whether to tell Shen Chong about my swallowing of the Qilin Gall.
After thinking about it, don't say it for the time being, it's true that Shen Chong has a life-saving grace for me, but I can't tell him everything for the time being.
To be a man, you still have to have a little scheming.
"How is Zhao Hua?" Shen Chong asked, I pointed to the messy place over there, "I'm spitting, I don't know if I'm dead." βγ
Now that Jiang Hao is relaxed, presumably Zhao Hua can't make much waves.
I smoked a cigarette and thought carefully about Zhao Hua's words in my heart, and it seemed that all the causes and effects of these things could be found.
My grandfather was shrewd, but he never wanted to be deceived by Ding Duyan, if he knew that Ding Duyan had bad intentions, he would probably not entrust me to him anyway.
This trip was not in vain, not only did I figure out the causes and consequences of these things, but I also met with Li Guichuan, many memories flashed in my heart, it should have been Li Guichuan who helped me every time before, right?
But if so, why didn't she confess to me sooner?
These things can only be clarified by asking Li Guichuan later.
"Hey, my neck is so itchy...... "My neck suddenly felt like something had grown on it, it was so itchy that I scratched it with my hands but I couldn't find the itch accurately.
It's like scratching your boots, and it's not fun at all.
"Shen Chong, you can help me take a look!" I bent down and approached Shen Chong, Shen Chong looked at it, and his tone was slightly surprised: "Why is your neck all black?" βγ
"And...... There seems to be something, like a black mist around the neck. βγ
"What's that? Take a picture with your phone and show me. "What Shen Chong is talking about, how can I hear it in a daze.
Shen Chong took out his mobile phone and took a photo, and handed it to me, "Look at it......."
"Hiss......" I gasped as soon as I saw the photo, my face, which was already bloodless, turned whiter, and my neck was really the same as what Shen Chong said, like a layer of black fog, and there were strange symbols in the black fog.
These symbols look like words, but they don't know them at all.
"You can take it and show it to Uncle Xiao!" Shen Chong reminded, and I hurriedly handed the photo to Jiang Xuan.
"Huh...... You see, what the hell is this? "My face is very ugly, because I don't know what I have encountered, these things are not recorded in the Heavenly Treasure Secret Art and the Heavenly Fortune Secret Record.
The fear of the unknown is the most terrifying.
"It's a ghost pattern...... Same on my feet. Jiang looked at it and recognized the source of these symbols.
"What is a ghost pattern?" As soon as I heard these two words, my heart tightened, and it seemed that this thing was not easy to mess with.
As long as anything has this word on it, it's not good, ghosts and even yin things, the encounter is unknown, let alone tattooed on the body.
"Even if an evil spirit has made a mark on you, your life is now theirs." Jiang explained.
"it...... No way! I exclaimed, I was scared in my heart, I forget it's such garbage anyway, but Jiang Zhan is an authentic Maoshan Taoist, how could she be marked by evil ghosts?
"It's indeed a ghost pattern, it won't be long before the thing on your neck will be completely engraved on your neck, the ghost pattern is branded on the soul, extending from the bones outward, and the place where your ghost pattern happens to be the heaviest part of the human body.γ
"It seems that Wang Ruhai enshrined Zhao Hua's life to a ghost king."
Jiang Xuan's words made me tremble, I am really in trouble, I just escaped from the hands of Zhao Hua and Wang Ruhai, and now there are ghost patterns again.
It seems that I will not be able to live in peace for the rest of my life.
"But what does it matter to me? Could you be mistaken? I asked unwillingly, I hope that Jiang Xuan has looked away, and my life is too bitter.
"No, only those who are destined to be selected by the Ghost King will be selected, but don't worry too much, the Ghost King is not the heinous evil ghost you imagined, most of them are not innocent people who kill innocents indiscriminately." Jiang Ha Zhan behaved very indifferently, I had 10,000 grass and mud horses running in my heart, even if Jiang Ha Zhan's words were true, but I would rather be a man, who the wants to be a ghost?
"The people selected by the ghost king are generally selected by him to serve for themselves, and the king of Yama in the underworld is one of them, Zhong Kui was picked by him at the beginning."
Although Jiang Xuan changed his words, it just made me sound less scared, and I slammed my mouth and said, "How many people can be as powerful as Zhong Kui Heavenly Master!" βγ
"And he actually made a mark on my neck, obviously he didn't have a good heart."
"I don't know about this, in short, it's right that you are favored by the ghost king, I didn't expect you to become fellow travelers with me." Jiang Xuan actually smiled slightly, which seemed to me to be simply schadenfreude.
"Is there a way to erase this ghost mark?" I still feel uncomfortable in my heart, is it not good to live? And how do I know who the ghost king is who has picked me?
What if it's an evil spirit? Some of the most capable demons will also make marks.
"Of course not...... Unless you can meet the ghost king in person and ask him to erase the ghost pattern from your soul, according to my guess, you were stolen by Zhao Hua, and Zhao Hua smashed the soul puppet, so he couldn't live, so the ghost king's mark was transferred to you. βγ
Jiang Zhan seems to have some truth in what he said, and the simple explanation is that Zhao Hua is actually a victim, and his life was sacrificed to the ghost king by Wang Ruhai, although I don't know what Wang Ruhai's purpose is, but it is a sacrifice.
Then Ding Duyan set up a series of bureaus in order to keep Zhao Hua alive, that is, from when I went back to the village to see feng shui, but people are not as good as heaven, and the layout of Zhao Hua and Ding's dissatisfaction was destroyed by us, and even Wang Ruhai, the mastermind behind the scenes, has died.
Zhao Hua and Wang Yihai died even if they died, but I didn't expect that because I was born on the same day as him, I was in a big trouble now, and I knew that I would save the soul puppet no matter what.
"And how long will I live?" I asked with a pout, Jiang Hao stroked his hair and said, "It depends on the situation, if the ghost pattern on your neck turns from black to red, it means that the ghost king is coming to pick you up." βγ
"......" I was speechless.
"Okay, don't worry too much, take one step at a time, and the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge." Jiang Hao comforted me, I thought to myself that you are talking about lightness, you are not a human being anyway.
"Alas, I'm too miserable, so can you tell me what kind of ghost kings they have?" Presumably, with Jiang Xuan's erudition, these things should be clear.
So, Jiang Xuan told me about the ten invisible ghost kings, these ten ghost kings are difficult to distinguish between true and false, some are immortal incarnations, and some are evil ghosts who have achieved cultivation.
I don't even know if she made it up on purpose.
According to her words, these ten ghost kings include the king of Yama and the emperor of FΓΊjiΓ© [according to Taoist records, this is the Dharma body of the ghost king of Taiyi who saved the suffering Tianzun in the underworld, which is very powerful, you must know that his mount, the Nine Spirits Yuansheng, is even disdainful of Tang monk meat].
All the hungry ghosts and poor souls who have been trapped in the Yin Division for a long time have been swarming to grab food because of the difficulty of giving food and relief, and the order is chaotic, so they save the bitter Tianzun and become a vicious "ghost king" to deter the ghosts and maintain order.
Mountain ghosts (female Luoshan ghosts are invited), water ghosts (this is not a water ghost as we understand it, but a ghost king who controls rivers and lakes).
Wudaoye (This is very common in the countryside, there are Wudaoye temples in many places, but some places are land temples, but in fact they are all Wudaoye. ), Zhong Kui (Zhong Kui doesn't say much, because he has the merit of curing ghosts and is good at swallowing small ghosts, so he counts as one.) οΌγ
The other four do not have specific names, or they do not know specific names, but they are known to be stationed in four places, Tianmen and Dihu, and Humane Ghost Pass.
