Chapter 288: Convincing Wang Xiucai with virtue
I stood by and watched coldly, but my heart was like a mirror: something did happen in Ghost King City, and for now, the incident was not small.
Seeing that He Sen and the leader of the ghost people had been grinding for a long time, the other party still refused to say what happened in the Ghost King City. I got impatient to listen, and suddenly I took a step forward, and the evil anti-evil stick in my hand slashed through the air, and a ray of hot fire appeared.
"That's a lot of nonsense! In which direction is Ghost King Castle located? ”
The ghost folk felt the masculine power of the evil suppression stick, and his face suddenly changed in fright. Instead, He Sen pointed to the black mountain range and said, "In this direction, it is about twenty miles." ”
I glanced at He Sen: "I said Lao He, this is your mistake." When do we exorcists do business, when do we need to ask for the opinion of the ghosts? We want to go to the Ghost King City, who can stop us? ”
He Sen was stunned for a moment, and then came to his senses. That's right, he knows the location of the Ghost King City, why is he grinding his teeth with the other party here? Break directly into the Ghost King City and see it at a glance.
When I saw that he was silent, I sneered and shouted, "Get out of the way!" ”
More than a dozen ghost people looked at each other, but they didn't move, still stopping in front of us.
I snorted, "You haven't been born for a long time, I'm afraid you've forgotten the methods of exorcists." Since you don't want to get out of the way, don't blame me for being ruthless! ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw the firelight flashing, and the red flames rose into the sky, and the frightened ghost people retreated one after another. He Sen and I didn't hesitate any longer, and we stepped forward together, and in an instant we were out of the encirclement of the ghost people.
The leader of the ghost people screamed, "Mr. He! You can't go! Fast! Stop them! ”
I spun around sharply, and the Evil Suppressor slashed through from left to right, and in an instant a wall of fire rose out of thin air, blocking us and the demons on either side.
The flames were raging, and the temperature was extremely high, and the ghosts screamed in fright.
I said, "Guys, exorcists, it's not your turn to point fingers!" For the sake of your hearts having no grudges and not harming others, I will not be ruthless. This wall of fire will burn for a maximum of ten minutes, and then whether you want to go to the Tibetan Forest or go back to the Ghost King City is up to you to choose freely. Lao He, let's go! ”
He Sen smiled bitterly, and then hugged his fists at the ghost people on the other side of the fire wall, which was regarded as an expression of apology. He whispered to me, "Are the current exorcists so domineering?" ”
I said as I walked, "Domineering? This is not called overbearing. When you meet the guys on the murderer list, you'll know what it means to be domineering. ”
He Sen is good at everything, has high means, and is kind-hearted, but he is too reasonable. Reason with the living, with the dead, with the good, and with the bad.
Although it may have something to do with his profession, I am a little unimpressed.
Seeing people and talking about people, and talking about ghosts, is a normal exorcist. Just as Lei Feng said: Treat comrades as warm as spring, and treat enemies as cruel as winter.
Let the good be respected, and the evil be feared, this is a successful exorcist.
Perhaps sensing my displeasure, He Sen didn't speak, but walked forward side by side with me without saying a word.
Twenty miles is not too far away, and in an hour, He Sen and I climbed over a hill and saw the famous Ghost King City from a distance.
The Ghost King Castle is the residence of the Ghost King. As for the origin of the Demonsless King, it's actually quite interesting. When this guy was alive, he was a scholar, a man named Wang Xiu during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty.
This Wang Xiucai has a nickname, called Convincing People with Virtue.
Wang Xiucai is a sour scholar, who has no power to tie the chicken, but he has a righteous body, and what he likes to do most is to meddle in things.
Later, he went to Beijing to take the exam, carrying two bags of books, and was about to rush to Beijing. As a result, he had bad luck on the way and encountered a gang of robbers who were king of the mountain.
In fact, robbers were also very professional at that time, the poor did not rob, and the scholars did not rob. Only rob the kind of businessmen who pass by, and corrupt officials who are rich and unkind.
Originally, the robbers also discovered Wang Xiucai, but this group didn't even look at him, and even one of the robbers waved impatiently to drive him away.
There is no way, this kind of poor scholar has no more than three copper coins on his back, except for books and dry food. Robbing him once will not only not do him any good, but will also ruin his reputation.
What's more, there are a few businessmen next to Wang Xiucai, who are carrying money bags one by one, and if they don't rob them, there will be no reason.
To say that money is the life of a businessman, even if you lose your life, you can't lose money. Therefore, under the dispute between the two sides, several robbers were annoyed, and when the white knife entered and the red knife came out, one was stabbed to death.
At this time, the frightened merchants turned pale and knelt on the ground and trembled.
If ordinary people had encountered such a situation, they would have already added two ducks to one duck, and then they would have run away. But Wang Xiucai is a guy who admits death, he has been familiar with the books of sages since he was a child, and he has learned the way of humanity, and he knows that killing people is wrong, so he rushed up to theorize with the robbers.
Xiucai reasoned with the robbers, and when this word spread, everyone would definitely think that this guy was crazy, and even the robbers were laughing there, looking at him like a fool.
Wang Xiucai is not afraid in the face of this group of fierce gods, quoting scriptures, his mouth is like a river, from the period of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors to the present, they are saying that it is not good to be a robber, and it is a great crime to deprive others of their lives.
The robbers were asked to return the money they had been robbed of, and then they would go to the government and turn themselves in.
The robbers were also stunned, when had they ever encountered such a strange thing? A poor scholar who is powerless actually came to reason with a group of robbers? I'm afraid this guy isn't a fool, is he?
So the robbers were furious and wiped Wang Xiucai's neck on the spot.
I don't think that Wang Xiucai has a tendon, even if he is dead, he is obsessed, and after turning into a ghost, he has to talk in the ears of the robbers.
Even if the robbers stabbed the hornet's nest this time, whether it was night or daytime, Wang Xiucai's crooked voice was always lingering in their ears, and their noisy brains hurt.
Just imagine, a fragmented thought similar to Tang Seng is nagging in your ears all the time, and it is day and night, regardless of the occasion. Even when you sleep, you are buzzing and talking, and sometimes your head explodes when you can make noise, which makes people can't help but be angry.
Only then did the robbers realize that they seemed to have killed someone they shouldn't have killed.
Wang Xiucai used this method to forcibly let half of the robbers go to the government to surrender, and the other half of the robbers could not bear to commit suicide.
Don't look at Wang Xiucai becoming a ghost, but because he is familiar with the books of sages, he has a heroic righteousness in his chest. It wandered in the yang world, and I didn't know what was going on, and suddenly one day it drifted into the land of no evil.
Wang Xiucai was born with no resentment and no evil spirit, so he is like a fish in water in a place without evil, and he keeps talking about poetry all day long. Later, there were more and more lonely ghosts and wild ghosts attracted by the Evil Land, and everyone admired Wang Xiucai's talent, so he was elected to become the ghost king.
It is said that it is a ghost king, but in fact it is just a loose organization, somewhat similar to a position such as a village chief. Everyone admires him and is willing to listen to him, but the ghost king does not have direct leadership over everyone.
It was only later that there were more and more lonely souls and wild ghosts in the Evil Land, and the system was gradually established.
In order to facilitate management, Wang Xiucai proclaimed himself the King of Demons, commanded all the lonely ghosts and ghosts in the Devilless Land, and gave them a new name: Ghost People
On weekdays, life in the Ghost King City is actually very leisurely. There are mineral light sources suitable for the life of the ghosts, there are feng shui breaths suitable for the ghosts, and there are also ghost kings who come to the city center from time to time to teach.
Occasionally, there are also heart-to-heart speakers to answer the questions in your heart.
Everyone is leisurely, life is so comfortable, and even the gate of the Ghost King City has never been lowered.
But now that we look at it, not only are the four gates of the Ghost King City blocked, but there are even rows of ghost people with black gas on their bodies shuttling back and forth in it, steaming up.
Looking at the ghost king city again, the wind is gusting, the fog is miserable, and there is not even a wandering ghost in the streets and alleys.
Only the inside of the Ghost King Tower in the center of the city was surrounded by a group of dark shadows. The evil spirit and resentment in the city are emanated by this shadow.
