Chapter 42: The Misfortune of the Midyear Festival

Ji Ren looked at the bag of seeds in his hand, he thought that he had so many seeds, how terrifying it would be if they all spread it down and turned into a wood spirit vine.

It's fun to think about......

Ji Ren took out two seeds, held them, and imagined the appearance of the thorn tree, which was a plant he was more familiar with, because he had been pricked several times when he was a child, and it was inevitable that he would remember it deeply.

Puff......

The spirit seed erupted, thorns crawled along the arms, spikes pierced into the flesh, Ji Ren endured the pain, retracted the true qi, and the thorns turned into residue and fell to the ground.

Didi ......

"Regeneration", Ji Ren's right hand was bleeding, and his left hand was covered with his right arm. A rich green light fell from his left hand, and the puncture hole in his right arm was recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye, and between breaths, the arm was intact.

"Sure enough, my Zhenqi is really used to save people...... Even the spells that suddenly appeared in my mind were used to save people. So, except for the spirit seed that can be used as an offensive weapon, my real Qi is useless! ”

Ji Ren looked at the ceiling wistfully, not knowing whether to be happy or sad......

Nangong Huang'er knocked on the wall and walked in. Who let him break the door himself......

"Ah Ren, tomorrow is the Midyear Festival, I want to buy some paper products today, as well as paper money and the like, can you go with me?"

Ji Ren turned his head to look at her energetic appearance, forget it, she won't be interested. Nodding, he stood up and walked out. Nangong Huang'er happily took his hand and followed behind.

"Today, we only buy things, we don't go shopping, I'm a cultivator of the True Qi Realm now, if I do it to ordinary people, and if other cultivators see it, I'll be in trouble, and it will also affect you, you know?"

Ji Ren is now a cultivator, and he should follow the rules of the cultivation world, otherwise, there will be something for ordinary people.

Nangong Huang'er also knew some things, after all, she had heard them say it, so she readily agreed.

"Good!"

He Shuxian didn't know if she was in a panic, so she had to follow, and after the three of them saw Uncle Chen, they asked Shi Qibin to take the three of them to the city, where there was a street that specialized in selling paper and other supplies.

Half an hour later......

A strong smell of incense came to the face, and the shops of each household were inserted with three sticks of incense. Standing at the entrance of the street, they felt that their noses were a little fresh. Some shops specialize in selling paper figures, paper cars, paper houses, etc., and some incense, candles, and paper money are sold. Maybe it's because of the Midyear Festival, there are a lot of people here, and if you don't pay attention, you will get separated, Shi Qibin took the three of them to walk on the street......

From time to time, there are shops shouting......

Ingot candles, paper money and paper cars, all of them, buy them back and give them to their ancestors, give them to their deceased relatives, and their faces are full of glory, or do good deeds, and give them to those wandering souls and ghosts, which is also a kind of yin virtue, everyone should pick and choose......

I have the latest carriages, treasure cars, all kinds of cars, and the latest paper money published by the Bank of Heaven and Earth, I heard that this kind of paper money has the effect of turning lonely souls and wild ghosts, so you can do more good deeds and accumulate more yin virtue......

Shi Qibin said: "The smell of incense here is too strong, I basically know about this place, and I haven't been here many times." If you want to buy something, just tell me about it, or I'll take you there. ”

Nangong Huang'er said: "Ah Bin, take us there, I want to pick and choose by myself." ”

Shi Qibin replied, "Okay, miss." ”

Ji Ren's heart is well...... It's so good to make it, why don't I have this ability!

He Shuxian looked at the lively horses, and where she shouted loudly, she looked at it.

Nangong Huang'er took out a small note, which said that she wanted to buy paper people, incense and ingots, candles, paper cars, and paper houses......

Walking to a store, Nangong Huang'er felt that it was good, especially the two big paper houses at the door, so she bought it casually, three thousand eighty-one, Shi Qibin went to pay, and asked the store to send it back to the villa.

Ji Ren's eyes suddenly widened, Nima, three thousand eight? I don't have so much money in my body, it's expensive, it's expensive!

Later, Nangong Huang'er bought 300 paper figures, 50 big bags of ingots, a cart of incense and candles, and felt that there were still cars to buy, so she bought 100 paper cars and a cart of paper money, saying that it was to fold 10,000 round paper money......

Gradually, the sky darkened, Ji Ren and Shi Qibin both proposed to go back, and the two girls were willing to go back. After a day of selecting and purchasing goods, obviously happy and happy, happy and happy, after getting in the car, Nangong Huang'er lowered her head sleepily, leaned on Ji Ren's shoulder and fell asleep.

Ji Ren and He Shuxian are both full of energy, both of them are cultivators in the early stage of the True Qi Realm, and they basically don't feel mentally tired because of shopping.

When I returned to the villa, the yard was full of paper money, paper cars, and paper people...... There are also two large paper houses three meters high.

When Chen Xiaozhong saw his young lady come back, he looked at her in a daze.

"Miss, buy more, not buy more cars!"

Nangong Huang'er paused for a moment, "Yes!" Uncle Chen, you told me to buy more! Then, they said that if you burn more, you can accumulate a little more virtue, so I thought about buying more and accumulating virtue! What's wrong? Is it too much to buy? As he spoke, he felt that everyone's faces were a little strange.

Ji Ren shook his head and looked at the pile of paper products in front of him, all of which were hard-earned things, so he couldn't say too much. "No, it's good, it's just a little more charity."

Uncle Chen hummed and turned back silently. Shi Qibin didn't know what to do and sneaked away. He Shuxian went back to the villa and went upstairs without doing anything......

Click...... The four of them had just come back from training, and when they saw this pile of things, the four of them looked at each other, all of them looking confused.

Li Qiangyong asked, "What does this mean?" Where are the dead? ”

Yuan Cheng guessed: "It may be for some people, probably because they know that he is lazy." ”

Li Qiangyong glared at Yuan Cheng angrily, "Let's beg for a beating!" After speaking, the two rolled up their sleeves and were about to do it.

Zhou Youpeng stopped Li Qiangyong, "Don't make trouble, it's not you who is playing him, otherwise he can hurt you like this!" ”

Zheng Qiaonan pulled Yuan Cheng away and said with a smile: "Okay, it is estimated that it will be tomorrow's Midyear Festival!" It's almost time......"

Ji Ren heard their voices and happily walked around to the door. "You're back!"

"Hey! It's Ji Ren, this stinky boy, why are you so idle today? ”

When Li Qiangyong saw that it was Ji Ren, he hurriedly ran over and hugged him and patted him on the chest.

"Yo, isn't this kid busy?" Yuan Cheng hammered Ji Ren's chest.

Zhou Youpeng was also a little surprised, since he was injured, he had hardly seen each other. Chen Bo said that he had his own things to do and did not know what to do. "Are you done? So idle? ”

Ji Ren said: "Brother Nan, Ah Yong, Ah Cheng, and Ah Peng, how have you been training recently?" ”

Zheng Qiaonan nodded, and said with a sincere smile: "It's okay, it's been good lately, seeing that you're fine, I guess everyone is very happy." ”

"Yes, yes, we are all very concerned about you, if it weren't for Uncle Chen saying that you were very busy several times, you can't let us disturb you casually, otherwise, I would have gone to look for you a long time ago." Li Qiangyong said happily.

Yuan Cheng smiled: "Yes, it's okay if you're fine, how are you doing?" ”

Ji Ren replied, "Let's go in and talk about it." "Pull them back to the villa and talk as they go......

Uncle Chen's divine sense swept over and rubbed his temples with a headache. Tomorrow, at least call those guys over to fold together, it's too much, at least tens of thousands of paper money, Miss is going to make a demon!

……

……

……

The next day, a piece of land was vacated in the courtyard, and eight people sat together to fold round paper money, and Uncle Chen smiled with a smile, which made Nangong Huang'er feel that he had not done anything wrong, so he was very happy to fold there. He Shuxian hurriedly folded it, she didn't know how to fold these at all, she knew that she would stop this sister yesterday. Ji Ren's brain buzzed, looking at the pile of paper money next to him that was two meters high and one meter wide, each only the size of A4 paper, silently did not speak, and struggled to fold round paper.

Li Qiangyong felt that this kind of thing was not too cool, and he was happy to fold round paper money. The other three didn't care about picking up the paper money, folding it neatly with their hands and feet, and two or three round paper money......

In this way, the eight of them folded from morning to afternoon, from satisfaction to death. It's finally over, it's dark, Yuan Cheng and the four of them dragged their bodies back with a sore back, Chen Bo was lying on the sofa numbly, He Shuxian looked at the ceiling with empty eyes, Ji Ren sat on the edge of the bed sluggishly, and Nangong Huang'er was tired and satisfied lying on the bed......

After another hour of rest, they all showered and moved their things out. A large sand circle two meters wide and half a meter high was specially enclosed at the gate of the courtyard to burn things.

First of all, put a part of the round paper money on the hill high, and after igniting, light the incense while adding paper money, everyone divided labor and cooperated, the four of them planted incense around the courtyard of the villa, and Nangong Huang'er added paper money one by one, He Shuxian looked at so much round paper money, grabbed a large handful and threw it in.

Boom...... In an instant, the fire engulfed the paper money thrown in. Uncle Chen took a paper figure and looked at it carefully for a while, nodded, felt that this thing was not bad, and threw it into the fire.

Ji Ren picked a big paper house and put it in.

Everyone stood in front of the fire with hot faces, and then you put one, and I put one, and it burned until more than eleven o'clock in the evening......

It was almost all burned out, and Uncle Chen felt that there was nothing to do, so he walked back. As soon as Uncle Chen left, a cold wind blew.

Whew-

Zhou Youpeng looked behind him sensitively and found that there was nothing, so he continued to look at the fire. Zheng Qiaonan looked at the time and felt that it was time to go back, so he said to Ji Ren, and the four of them went back to sleep.

Ji Ren shook his body and realized that something might be wrong, so he wanted to pull Nangong Huang'er back, but as a result, he saw Nangong Huang'er staring at the fire blankly.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Nangong Huang'er didn't respond, and quietly watched a lot of floating ghosts surging in front of her, you are competing for me to grab paper people there, paper cars, and there are also many ghosts hovering in the big paper house......

He Shuxian also felt a little cold, so she was about to go back, but when she saw Nangong Huang'er's sluggish look, she also froze, "What's wrong with her?" ”

Ji Ren shook his head, "I don't know, but you go back first!" He felt that something might be wrong, so he asked He Shuxian to go back first, and he was going to take the person back and talk.

Suddenly, a cold snap surged over, and Nangong Huang'er's whole person was shocked, and she looked ahead in horror. Ji Ren felt it, a very strong breath, and seeing her reaction, he knew what was going on with her.

Xian Lingzi said, "Put the True Qi on your eyes, and you can see those ghosts." ”

Ji Ren's heart suddenly burst out, "No! The dantian shook, and a grass and tree really qi poured into his eyes. What caught Ji Ren's eyes was a vague black shadow in a battle robe. "There really is a ghost, so it's better to sneak away first."

Suddenly, the blurred black shadow in the battle robe saw Nangong Huang'er, and his heart was full of Nangong Huang'er's posture in an instant, and he was furious when he saw many little ghosts rushing over......

Kill –

The ghost general roared, and his body erupted with a black evil aura, and the little ghost who didn't have time to dodge around him instantly turned into a puff of black smoke and dissipated, and the little ghosts who saw this scene trembled, and none of the ghosts dared to stay here, and quickly escaped from the ground.

Nangong Huang'er saw a lot of little ghosts who had not cultivated, and they were destroyed by the ghost general. He was so frightened that his whole body froze, and he didn't dare to take his eyes off the ghost general.

Ji Ren also saw this scene and felt that the big ghost head was very strong, so he picked her up and wanted to retreat to the villa.

Roar –

The ghost general saw that Ji Ren was taking the person away, roared angrily, and rushed over. An eerie voice sounded in Ji Ren's ears, "Leave her!" ”

The ghost general wanted to kill Ji Ren and then fast, so fast, he came to Ji Ren in the blink of an eye, clenched his fist and slammed into Ji Ren's head. The fist wind broke through the air, surrounded by evil energy, and the force was so great that one punch was enough to blow Ji Ren's head.

Phew-

The ghost grazed his fist past Ji Ren's head, and Ji Ren's head was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat and retreated again and again.

Immortal Lingzi suddenly said: "Bow your head, sprinkle the spirit seed, and turn the wood spirit vine." ”

Ji Ren hurriedly took out a handful of spirit seeds from his pocket and scattered them, and shook off the emerald green grass and trees.

"Wood Spirit Vine", the spirit seed grows when it sees the wind, and the blue-green wrist-thick wood spirit vine climbs all over the ground, and instantly entangles the ghost general.

"Humph!" The ghost general glared at Ji Ren angrily, pulled the wood spirit vine with his hands and feet, and wanted to struggle away, but found that it was extremely tenacious, and it was impossible to rely on strength, so the soul power was shocked, and the evil qi in his body increased greatly, and the wood spirit vine was corroded completely in an instant.

Ji Ren rushed into the villa in horror and found Uncle Chen sitting on the sofa, drinking tea leisurely. Frightened: "Uncle Chen, still drinking tea?" ”

"Well, drink some tea and refresh yourself," Uncle Chen nodded and looked outside. "Take Miss back!"

Ji Ren could feel that the fierce ghost was at the door, and found that Chen Bo was so calm.

"Uncle Chen, I want to see the excitement, okay?"

The ghost general came to the door and wanted to break the door with a punch, but when he raised his fist, a coercion pressed against his head, as if he would break the door with a punch, and his head would be crushed by the coercion.

"Who, who the hell? That stinky boy come out and hand over my wife! ”

When Ji Ren heard the roar of the fierce ghost, he knew that he was fine. Looking down, it turned out that Nangong Huang'er had fainted, and seeing Uncle Chen silently put down the teacup, Ji Ren began to wonder if the fierce ghost would die? Or was he beaten badly? However, the ghost has no substance, hey, yes, how did I tie him up?

"Hehehe, your lady? I thought he provoked you and wanted you to leave, but I didn't expect that in front of me Chen Xiaozhong, you would dare to say such a thing. ”

Chen Xiaozhong laughed angrily, and in an instant, the true qi in his body was surging, and under his best control, it did not burst out. A powerful and invincible coercion erupted from Chen Xiaozhong.

Cracking sound......

All the porcelain, glass, and chandeliers in the hall were reduced to shards and fell to the ground one by one.

Ji Ren's feet were weak and he almost sat on the ground, Nangong Huang'er snorted secretly, looking pained.

Ahh

His expression was hideous, and his limbs struggled weakly, trying to shake off the flames from his body. The whole body erupted with a rich evil qi, wanting to extinguish the flames, but unfortunately, this evil qi that could corrode the wood spirit vine could only be burned by the flames weakly.

Whoop –

Just as the ghost was about to become nothing, a sudden black rain fell on him, extinguishing the bright red flames on him, and a wave of evil qi swept through him and lowered him to the ground.

"Please also be merciful to your subordinates, your subordinates are not sensible, forgive me!"

A man in a white robe walked over with his fists clenched, his mouth was not correct, but there was no mistake in the depths of his eyes. The little ghost who originally wanted to come over to pick up money, as soon as he saw this person, he was like an ant who saw the behemoth from afar, and he was so frightened that he scattered!

"Sir, save me, sir, save me!" When the demon saw who it was, he fell on his knees and kowtowed to the ground.

Uncle Chen opened the door and wanted to see who the person who came, and when he saw it, it turned out to be a ghost envoy from the underworld!

"Who's coming?"

"Below, it's fine! Please do not be angry, and forgive me for being an ignorant subordinate, who has already been punished by you, and can you stop there? Fang Wushi said sincerely.

"Fang is okay? Ghost envoy of the underworld! ”

Chen Xiaozhong's eyes were a little solemn.

Ji Ren was wondering what the ghost envoy of the underworld came from? Wait, I exclaimed in my heart that there is really such a thing as an underworld? Wow...... It turns out that what Grandpa Zhang said is true.

The ghost of the underworld made Fang have nothing to do, "Yes, Your Excellency is right. ”

The corners of Chen Xiaozhong's mouth twitched, "Offended me, what do you think?" ”

Fang Wufu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect the other party to be so tough, even he refused to let go. He arched his hand and said, "What do you want?" ”

"No, please invite the messenger of the underworld, let's go back! His life, if he doesn't die once, can't do it! ”

Chen Xiaozhong said lightly, not taking the underworld envoy in his eyes at all, it can be said that he doesn't care what he can do.

Fang Wuxian's face turned completely cold, his whole body swelled, and a long sword condensed in his hand. "Toast and don't eat and drink, I'm the messenger of the underworld, how can you provoke at will?"

With a flicker, the long sword quietly appeared on the side of Chen Xiaozhong's neck.

"Is the ghost handsome? is in the same realm as me, no wonder I am so confident. Chen Xiaozhong was unmoved, and a red light flashed and appeared next to the ghost general.

"Ming Yan"

Chen Xiaozhong groaned, and the ghost general kneeling on the ground burst into flames. The difference between this and the bright red flame is that it is like an appendage, once it is touched, it cannot be erased.

"Ahh......h

"Desire ......" Fang Wu hurriedly condensed the evil qi into a stream of water, washing away the yellow flames on the body of the ghost general named Desire.

Yu Long was burned by Ming Yan three or two times, and only his upper body and head remained.

Chen Xiaozhong stood aside, holding a fist-sized flame in his right hand, and when he saw that Fang Wuxian had extinguished the flames on Yu Long's body, he casually threw his hand at Yu Long's body.

Boom......

Although Yu Long's expression was fierce and hideous at this time, he just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief that he had been saved, but in the blink of an eye, an even more blazing yellow flame erupted from his body.

Ahh

This time, he didn't even have a chance to shout for help, and he disappeared directly.

Fang Wuwu was stupid, and looked at the place where Yulong was in ashes.

The thought of going back empty-handed is bound to be miserable. Immediately his hair rushed to the crown, his hair stood up, his face was dark and cold, and the sleeves under his shirt flowed out a rich evil qi to form a black mist, and the thick black mist revealed a breath of nothing and no corrosion, so dark that people did not dare to look at it directly, and surrounded Chen Xiaozhong one after another.

The cold aura covered the ground and condensed into a thick layer of hard ice.

Fang had nothing to do with murderous intent, "You dare to kill the ghosts of the underworld at will, do you know who he is?" He is the third young master of the family! I'll take you down right now and take you back to the underworld!" ”

Chen Xiaozhong was so excited to see him, and knew that a fight was inevitable. A stronger aura surged from his body, forcing back the black mist. Bright red flames suddenly appeared around him, the air was hot and dry in an instant, the thick ice melted, and the black mist was refined into nothingness as soon as it approached.

"Nine Snakes"

Fang Wufu performed ghost magic, and his hands quickly pinched out a kind of ghost seal, and as the magic seal was formed, the evil aura soared to the sky, instantly enveloping the entire courtyard, faintly, as if he was in the underworld, and the black fog that did not see the five fingers rained down, slowly corroding everything.

As the evil aura shrouded, nine ruthless black snakes quietly appeared at Chen Xiaozhong's feet, desperately entangled him quickly, opened their poisonous fangs and bit down fiercely.

"Hell!" Chen Xiaozhong quickly pinched the Dharma seal, and the entire mountain shook, and a dark yellow flame erupted from his body, and its power seemed to be able to incinerate heaven and earth, gushing out with him as the center.

The Nine Black Snakes instantly turned into flying smoke......

In the blink of an eye, the dark yellow flames had covered the entire mountain, and nothing was incinerated except for the evil qi, which had been burned clean.

Fang Wufu hid in the air with a frightened face, he didn't expect this person to be so powerful. Looking at the flames all over the mountains, he didn't burn a single thing, and secretly hated that Yu Long was really a waste, and he would be affected if he died.

Now, I can only give it a go.

"Ghost King Seal!" Fang Wufu quickly sealed, and a wave spread from him, and suddenly, the wind and clouds changed color. The aura between heaven and earth quietly retreated, and tonight the ghost door was wide open, among which the little ghost and the yin qi were the most prosperous, and the ghost king seal he knotted was a trick created by a generation of invincible ghost venerables. What he learned was only a fragment, and even so, the power he unleashed was enough to destroy the powerhouses of the same realm.

Call...... Call...... Call......

The yin qi within a radius of hundreds of miles was instantly inspired, surging in, the yin wind howled, and after a while, a huge black cloud condensed above his head, and ice fell down from time to time.

Ji Ren watched the two of them fight in the hall on the third floor, and he was so frightened that he instantly moved a sofa and sat on the window and watched quietly. looked back at Nangong Huang'er, and when he saw that she was still sleeping, he didn't care about her.

Fang Wushi showed a cruel smile, and the ghost mark on his hand had already formed. "Your Excellency, enjoy my amazing gift. Ghost King Seal, fall! He exhaled a black mist in pain, which merged into the black cloud, and his condensed soul body instantly became transparent.

The huge black cloud absorbed Fang Wuwu's natal soul power, and quickly turned into a broken ghost king seal, except for the top. Under the seal of the Ghost King, there are many blue-faced and fanged evil ghosts, there are also many resentful ghosts, and there are countless evil ghosts......

In an instant, the Ming Yan covering the mountain was pressed to the point that only the flames remained, and the invisible ghost king's coercion came towards Chen Xiaozhong without reservation.

Slap, slap, slap......

The trees on the hill were crushed one by one, the things in the yard were crushed little by little, and they all felt like they were about to suffocate......
