Chapter 14: Mortal Ghost Hunting
Hundreds of years ago, there was turmoil in the underworld. Hades led a group of ghost generals, and after two days and one night of bloody fighting, the rebellion was finally quelled. Although the rebellion is peaceful, the underworld is already full of holes. There was a lax management, and some ghosts took advantage of the chaos to escape from the underworld and escape to the human world.
When such a disaster happened, the king of Hades was furious, believing that the ghost king who was guarding these ghosts was derelict in his duty, so he sent the ghost king to the 18th layer of hell. Later, he sent ghosts to the world to arrest these ghosts.
The ghosts were sent to the world, but they could not find any trace of these ghosts, as if they had disappeared out of thin air in the world.
The Hades fears that sooner or later these ghosts will come out to wreak havoc on the world, and that it will be another disaster. These ghosts have always been taken in and guarded by the ghost king, and they still need to be collected by the ghost king. Therefore, the king of Hades released the ghost king again, let him make meritorious deeds, and ordered him to bring all these ghosts back to the underworld, and not a single one should be missing.
The ghost king came to the world and pursued it for a long time, but found nothing. Those souls evaporated from the world, and there was no trace of them.
The ghost king returned in vain, and the king had no choice but to atone for his sins and punish him, and he was sent to hell, where he suffered a lot.
Speaking of this, Zhong Jiu stopped. Linlang still looks confused, what does such a story have to do with her? What does it have to do with the strange things that have happened recently?
"What is the reason why you tell me such a thing, and why can't I understand it?" Linlang asked shamelessly.
"You don't need to understand, what I want to tell you is that the ghosts that escaped back then have now appeared in the human world. Although there has not yet been a big move, it is only a matter of time before there will be trouble. Therefore, I was ordered by the Ghost King to collect these obstacles in a short period of time. ”
Linlang listened to Zhong Jiu's words, but she was still puzzled, all of this had nothing to do with her.
"I need your help." Zhong Jiu finally said his purpose.
"Me? How can I help you? Do you want to hunt ghosts? Linlang asked suspiciously.
"Because you were born different, born with yin and yang eyes, you can see ghosts, but ghosts can't hurt you. The so-called jade pendant you picked up, if someone else wears it, it is just an ordinary jade pendant, but you can give birth to infinite power when you wear it. Therefore, the ghost king gave you this jade pendant, hoping that one day, you can help him receive the ghost. ”
Linlang felt that this thing was incredible, and she couldn't take care of herself in the underworld, causing the ghost to escape, so why let her help catch the ghost. Who did she provoke again, how did she encounter such an unlucky thing.
Linlang said to Zhong Jiu: "Childe, this is your underworld, don't try to pull me into the water, you can look down on me too much." I'm just an ordinary girl's house, how can I help you catch ghosts? It's ridiculous. Your ghost king is so incompetent that he would rely on a defenseless mortal who has no magic or any spells. ”
Zhong Jiu's face changed greatly when he heard this, and it took a long time before he slowly said, "You have to understand that once these ghosts appear, they will definitely harm people in the world. They need to cultivate, and cultivation requires people's souls. If you help us, you are also helping your world, so why not? ”
Linlanghe smiled helplessly: "Are you joking with me?" Why not? I have to ask, where does the joy come from? I was scared when I saw those ghosts, and I would be scared to death sooner or later. I don't want to deal with you at all, and I bother you to go back and tell your ghost king that I can't help him. ”
Zhong Jiu still didn't give up: "Haven't you seen ghosts?" You've been in distress, and you know very well that they can't hurt you at all, so why be afraid? ”
It turned out that those things she had seen before were really ghosts, and Linlang once thought that she was hallucinating. She was terrified every time, and now Zhong Jiu actually said to her, why be afraid?
The more she thought about it, the more angry she became, she got up from her chair and said angrily, "I won't help him, you guys will die of this heart." As she spoke, she was going to pull the jade pendant off her neck, so she didn't want this Rausch thing, it would cause her trouble.
Zhong Jiu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, if you don't have this jade pendant, and Hong Aya comes to you again, your life will not be guaranteed." I don't always come to your rescue. ”
She stopped what she was doing and wondered, "Don't you know Red Aya?" You told her to let me go, don't come to me for trouble, I didn't mean to disturb her that day. ”
Zhong Jiu shook his head, Linlang wanted to cry without tears: "What do you want to do?" ”
"You helped the Ghost King catch those ghosts, and the Ghost King will help you collect the red silk. It's just that Red Aya has something to do with the escape of those ghosts, so she can't be accepted for the time being. But you can rest assured, you have Yu Pei by your side, and she will never hurt you. Even Red Aya can't hurt you, not to mention those little ghosts, they can't help you at all. ”
Linlang sat back on the chair and thought about it for a long time, but still couldn't make up her mind. As an ordinary person, she is not a true Taoist, and she can't do these things of subduing demons and catching ghosts. In her heart, she is still very angry about the ghost king's choice of her, how innocent she is.
Zhong Jiu dangled in front of her, she was even more irritable, and mocked: "Your efficiency in the underworld is really poor, for so many years, none of those little ghosts have been caught, how did you do it?" ”
Zhong Jiu's face changed again and explained, "It is said that those ghosts are hidden in an enchantment, and there is about a master to guide them. It's hard for us to find out, we can only wait for them to come out. Now that they're finally going to show up, the Ghost King won't be looking for you to help if it weren't for the last resort. ”
"You tell the Ghost King that I need to think about it. I'll reply to you when I'm done. Linlang said.
Zhong Jiu nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Linlang stood up again, the night was cold and breezy, she tightened her robe, rubbed her fingers, and then retracted her hands into her cuffs, and said slowly: "Then I have to go back, I have to go to school tomorrow." ”
Zhong Jiu sent her home, entered the house, Zhong Jiu waved his hand, and the 'she' on the bed immediately turned into a thin puff of smoke and disappeared in an instant. Linlang smiled and said to Zhong Jiu: "This spell is excellent, would you like to teach me?" ”
Zhong Jiu smiled and said, "If you promise the Ghost King, he will be happy and may be able to teach you." Not only such spells, but it is not impossible to hand over more powerful spells to you. ”
"Huh? Can't you teach me? I don't want to see the Ghost King. In other words, that ghost king is really ugly. He had no skin and no face, he was scared to death, and I was scared and cried when I saw him that day. ”
Zhong Jiu's face sank: "Ugly...... Is it ugly? Maybe he was afraid of revealing his identity, but he wasn't ugly. ”
Linlang smiled helplessly: "Then your aesthetics are quite problematic, or are you ghosts all this aesthetic?" However, you are extremely handsome, even in the world, it is rare to see. ”
Regarding the topic of the different aesthetics of humans and ghosts, she and Zhong Jiu did not continue to talk about it. Because she said that the ghost king was ugly, he didn't seem to be very happy, and turned his head coldly and left, which was really inexplicable. Fortunately, his attitude always changes from time to time, so she doesn't take such a small thing to heart.
