Chapter Seventy-Two: The Red Door Inn (Seventy-two) Is It a Coincidence or Fate
Li Wang fell into deep memories, and Mo Chen seemed to see the raging fire of that night in his pupils, and saw a group of poor people surrounded by fire demons, they wailed and begged, and the flames burned their endless despair.
"Poor little master of the Xia family, it has just been a full moon, and he is going to Huangquan with the Xia family." Li Wang sighed deeply, for the Xia family's child who had just died, and for himself who had nothing to do with it but was deeply affected.
Mo Chen's mind had a clue flashing, and he hurriedly interrupted Li Wang, who was sad and tearful, "Wait a minute, is this little young master of the Xia family you are talking about, is he the son of Old Master Xia?" ”
Li Wang smiled and waved his hand again and again, "Wrong, wrong, how is this possible!" Master Xia is over half a hundred years old, where is there such a young son, this little young master is from the eldest son of Master Xia, that is, the grandson of Master Xia. ”
Yes, Mo Chen compared in his heart, and he suddenly thought of the illusion that Zhang Zili said. Zhang Zili saw a sea of fire, a young woman begging for people beyond the sea of fire, and many people around her were trapped together.
In order to take a closer look at whether the Xia family in the mouth of the long-tongued ghost Li Wang was the group of people in Zhang Zili's illusion, Mo Chen asked, "Haven't you tried to pray to that group of villains to let the little young master go?" After all, he was an infant baby, and he didn't know anything about the events at that time, as long as they didn't say it themselves, even if the young master grew up in the future, he wouldn't know about these past events. ”
Li Wang clenched his fists angrily, "Why haven't you begged, the eldest and young grandmothers knelt on the ground and kowtowed to them, and the old lady also knelt down and begged them, but they are not human at all, their hearts are black and made of stone!" ”
Mo Chen felt that Li Wang's description was too general, and he asked in a guided manner, "When your young grandmother begged them, there was not a single person in the group who wanted to agree to her request?" ”
"What do you mean?" Li Wang looked at Mo Chen's gaze, mixed with a little hostility, Mo Chen hurriedly waved his hand and explained, "I don't think that there may be one or two people with a clear conscience in that group of people, but I have another matter that may be related to the Xia family case you said, so, if you know anything, you must tell me everything, maybe, I can help you settle your grievances!" ”
Hearing that Mo Chen wanted to help him and his owner redress their grievances, Li Wang was suddenly happy and didn't know what to do, if he still had a pair of complete legs, he would really jump up to celebrate.
What a simple person, oh no, what a simple ghost, Mo Chen was secretly ashamed. He just guessed that because of what Li Wang said, there might be a connection with what Zhang Zili saw, so he was so panicked and deceived him, and he didn't know what would happen to a ghost after he knew that he had been deceived.
After Li Wang restrained his excitement, he tried to recall that at that time, the group of gangsters outside the sea of fire, had anyone ever mentioned and let go of the little young master's words.
At the time of life and death, Li Wang at that time only had the fear of dying, and he really didn't notice this. Mo Chen said instructively, "For example, who said something like this at that time, but was immediately stopped by his accomplices......"
"Stop? ......" Li Wang's face twisted, and he seemed to struggle to recall things he didn't remember, which really annoyed him.
Li Wang's reaction speed was too slow, Mo Chen was a little impatient, and he unconsciously burst out, "C, it's just such a thing, do you have to think about it for so long!" “
But this scolding, Li Wang's eyes lit up, "I remembered, it seemed that someone was scolded by their leader at that time, as if he said that he should not delay or implicate everyone, as for whether it was because of that proposal to let the little master go, I don't know, after all, at that time, I ......" A trace of embarrassment appeared on Li Wang's face.
That's right! Mo Chen secretly shouted to himself, the illusion that Zhang Zili saw was not far from ten, it was the scene of the Xia family's catastrophe.
Later, the fire burned the Xia family to death, and Li Wang also died in that fire, but he was not burned to death, but choked to death by the smoke. After his death, because there was no one to collect the body, the lower half of the body was taken by wild dogs in the wilderness, and even if he became a ghost, he ended up in this incomplete tragic state.
As for the welcoming team "outside" now, there are people from the Xia family who died in the fire that day.
Because they were unwilling to die, the Xia family, who died in the fire that day, all became unjust souls after death and wandered the world. But for some reason, they didn't become ghosts, but instead became ghost slaves who were even more humble than ordinary ghosts.
"Ghost slave", Li Wang was afraid that Mo Chen would not understand, and explained, "The so-called ghost slave is that he will be summoned to his side by some ghosts with strong resentment, and as a slave who serves him, he will never be reincarnated." “
From the literal meaning, Mo Chen guessed the meaning of the three points, coupled with Li Wang's explanation, Mo Chen suddenly thought of Nie Xiaoqian in the old-era horror movie "A Chinese Ghost Story". The role of the ghost slave is probably the same as Nie Xiaoqian's catching the soul of "grandma"!
As for the Xia family, they failed to turn into powerful ghosts after their deaths, but instead became humble ghost slaves, Mo Chen guessed that they were probably inseparable from the enemies who killed them. The strange tomb that Zhang Zili strayed into, maybe the corpses of the Xia family were buried there.
"That high-level ghost you serve?" Mo Chen didn't know what to call the powerful ghost who was served by the Xia family, so he had to make up the noun "What is his origin?" ”
"He made us call him the Ghost King!" At the mention of the Ghost King, Li Wang couldn't help but tremble. Although when he was alive, Li Wang was an inferior person who served the owner, but the Xia family never treated him harshly, it can be said that in the years of being a slave, in addition to his lower status, he did not suffer hardship.
But since he was killed, he was captured by the ghost king and became a ghost slave, and he thoroughly understood what life and death could not be. As long as he doesn't complete the task assigned to him by the ghost king, he will have to endure hellish torture, it is not the physical pain when people are alive, the magic power of the ghost king is enough to easily make Li Wang's soul fly away.
As the ghost king's anger increased, his mana grew, and he began to be arrogant and delusional, wanting to live a "life" that was inferior to the gods. As a result, Li Wang's group of ghost slaves had no choice but to "parade the streets" night and night to choose a "princess" for the ghost king.
And last time, Meng Xinyao and Chen Cen were unlucky, and they bumped into the ghost slave's "greeting" team. If it weren't for the sudden appearance of Zen Master Jingde that day, the immortal aura of the great virtuous monk frightened the "low-power" ghost slaves, and the second daughter of Meng Chen would have been taken away by Li Wang and them.
failed to complete the order given by the ghost king, Li Wang and other ghost slaves were punished viciously after they went back.
I heard that there are great virtuous monks here, so this time, the ghost king sent two ghost servants beside him, second only to him, and led a group of ghost slaves to marry the two "princesses".
